Marian Rivera: Fan in Japan embarrassed. During recent sortie in Japan, Marian Rivera reportedly embarrassed an elderly female fan who asked for an autograph from the actress.
A source said that although Marian was told by handlers beforehand that the fan is a magazine publisher, the actress still cast aside the magazine the lady wanted sign because it only had Rhian Ramos and Dingdong Dantes on its cover.
That story may be unconfirmed, but it was certainly an accommodating Marian who showed up at the launch of "Darna: The Second Book."
The star crowed about songbird Regine Velasquez, who joined the series to play Elektra, one of her new nemesis.
"Hindi ko ini-expect na si Ate Regine ay papayag na maging kontrabida ni Darna. Malaking karangalan para sa akin iyon. At pag nagkita kami, ako mismo ang magpapasalamat sa kanya," she said.
On her rumored boyfriend Dingdong Dantes, Marian said she was surprised when she learned that he intends to give her three Christmas gifts, one of which---a "Darna" chair---she had already received.
"Nagulat talaga ko kasi ang dami pala niyang gift sa akin. To be honest, hindi ko pa alam ang ibibigay ko sa kanya."
She recounted how Dingdong presented the "Darna" chair.
"Nagulat ako kasi sabi niya, 'May upuan ka ba sa taping?' Sabi ko nasira.
"Tapos pagpunta ko sa 'Show Me Da Manny,' nakita ko [ang upuan]. Sabi ko, 'Wow, ang ganda naman nito, Darna!'
"May letter pa siya [Dingdong]. Sana raw ay magamit ko para maging komportable ako at makapag-rest ako. Nagulat talaga ako. Tumawag ako sa kanya at nag-thank you."
She summed up her special relationship with Dingdong, thus: "Siguro, sabihin na lang natin na habang tumatagal ang panahon, mas tumitindi ang saya ngayon."
GMA-7 executives are working for a project to reunite Marian and Dingdong onscreen.
"Hindi ko pa rin po alam ang title ng project namin, pero tinitiyak ko po na magbabalik-tambalan po kami next year ni Dingdong," said Marian.
