Looks like some big developments are forthcoming after actress Marian Rivera changed management from Popoy Caritativo to her discoverer, Mr. Tony Tuviera of Triple A.

Marian’s contract with GMA will expire in September this year, and from all indications, there’s likelihood that a renewal is not forthcoming. There are talks going around that a major shift is in the horizon. From very reliable sources, Marian's new manager is negotiating with TV5 for a cool 120Million package for a 3-year period. Marian is reportedly very keen on the idea.

Note that to this day, Marian remains very close to her former boss, Wilma Galvante, GMA’s Senior VP for Entertainment and now TV5’s current Head of Entertainment Division. Mr. Tuviera whose TAPE Productions also produces Eat Bulaga aired over GMA has siblings who have transferred to TV5 and are now producing shows there. Marian's favorite director, Mac Alejandre is also with TV5.

All signs factored in, is it safe to conclude that Marian’s transfer to TV5 is becoming more and more imminent by the day?

It was reported that Marian is very excited with all the fresh developments coming her way ever since she made that major management leap. Her excitement is even more highlighted by her joining the world of social media - finally!

Marian who is now a proud Instagram account holder with user name "thereal marian" is thrilled to do her thing in the photo-sharing network - her first ever social-networking account.

Are we about to see some “signing” photos soon? Que sera sera.

Letter from a Reader: Her Asking Price

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Allow me to share with you my personal sentiments as an avid fan of a once innocent and wholesome celebrity that I knew back then.

I have always been fascinated with this famous actress FA ever since I saw her first few movies as a child star. Her innocent beauty was a sight to behold even then. Through the years I saw her transformation slowly blossomed before the public, with her acting talent noticeably getting polished. Her management sure did a good job bringing her to where she is now.

She was a work in progress, slowly but surely climbing her way to the top. Through the years, the smart and ambitious girl in her learned the ropes, the most basic of trade secrets in the industry, cutting corners and the like. Her successful movies in the box office are sure fire signs that she really has what it takes to be in this industry. Hard work, luck and destiny seemed to conspire to bring her to stardom. Lucky girl.

But as a fan, I’m slowly getting to be disillusioned by FA’s recent antics. I thought her enviable fame and fortune would have humbled and tamed her. I know I’m not alone in this - of late, FA’s antics, her many indecent photos, outfits and scandals all scream public attention to herself. Why? Seems nothing can make her content because she’s always hungry for attention.

Now, more and more I am inclined to discourage a niece of mine who also happens to be FA’s big fan, not to be so into FA anymore as a role model . What is there to get inspired by anyway? FA is often acting delusional that she can always get away with anything because we allow her to. For me, she has lost that appeal for the young to emulate.

Because of my deep or probably blind admiration for her in the past, I chose to forget some very nasty things I knew about FA back then when she wasn’t yet that popular - as told to me by an eyewitness friend EF of mine who was privy to FA’s past.

EF worked for a top businessman who had several foreign clients and associates coming in and out of the country for regular meetings and business stuff. Needless to say that after the heavy stuff, came “fun and entertainment,” too. Being new in the job then, EF was shocked to be so casually summoned by her boss to contact a certain person to follow up on the invitation for FA to be with his business associates, most of whom were Chinese, for an entertainment that night.

Although completely stunned and dumbfounded, EF tried to restrain herself and went on with the process. That night at a specified venue, while the meeting was still on- going, somebody came into the room and announced that FA had arrived - ironically earlier than her call time. And not long after, right at the door, my friend EF saw FA in the flesh, scantily dressed and smiling at those old dirty old men who all looked like vultures waiting to devour her.

Her asking fee? P1M /pax/ night.

A few more of these encounters here and abroad, EF had enough and had since left the job.

Are the Ladies Really Gravely Addicted to His Moves?

All things being equal, the man who is more physically attractive gets to have more perks in almost any situation – they are more desired, get paid more, higher self-esteem - like it or not, beauty connotes positivity.

It's not just about being tall, dark and handsome. There are special 'manly' qualities about guys that can make any woman fall over her knees. And it’s definitely not just about the looks, there's more. It's a surefire mix of both, physical attributes and all that important special touch.

Talented Actor TA's boyish appeal and to-die for cuteness was no doubt his and his alone. TA's fresh as a morning face had sent not a few beautiful women to go crazy, drool and follow him wherever. TA was definitely up on the popularity quotient – anything that moved adored him. He had it all: fame, impeccable confidence, sense of humor, charm. Oh well, this is about throwback of two decades.

So how is TA rating now? Well, he is still the same attractive man despite the years. People young and old still get hyper in his presence. Surprisingly, most of the women in his life haven’t gone out of oblivion. They still are desirable and controversial than ever, two of them very controversial.

TA for all his charm and appeal is not perfect and has “shortcomings” too. But make no mistake, he sure knows how to make up for it in that department. Ever the woman pleaser, TA's memories remain enduring to his many exes. He maybe publicly displaying love and affection towards his wife, but he knows how to have fun, too.

From among many, TA has a list of unforgettables as well. He and this younger award winning actress YA had an episode while working on a project as well as this other beautiful older actress OA. Both women are said to have gone mad over TA – and vice versa.

Indeed, some good things never last … to this day.
