A More Daring Michelle Madrigal Goes Topless As Fhm Cover Girl For April

MICHELLE MADRIGAL looks like a sizzling Latina beauty as the cover girl of FHM Magazine for April. We told her jokingly she’s the special Holy Week presentation of the girlie magazine and she laughed. She’s been on its cover twice before. So what’s the difference doing it for the third time? “Well, this is definitely the sexiest and most daring so far,” she says. “Kasi topless ako. The first time I did was in 2007 when I was 18, so medyo coy pa ko. Then in November 2010 na dalawa kami ng sister kong si Ehra. Now, I’m solo again at dalagang-dalaga na, babae, full woman na.” See Michelle Madrigal FHM Pictures.

So when she does it again for the 4th time, will she bottomless? “Ay, walang ganun. Hanggang ganyan lang ang kaya ko.” But would she do it for a movie? “Who knows? I don’t wanna say no kasi baka kainin ko salita ko.”

How did she prepare for the topless pictorial? “No preparation. When they informed me about it, about a week lang, pictorial na. But okay lang kasi lately, I’m working out regularly sa gym, may yoga pa ako. Sa lahat nga ng pictorials ko, di ako pinaka-fit.”

How come she has no new show yet after “Kung Aagawin Mo ang Langit” where as Carla Abellana is now in Richard Gutierrez’ new soap? “Di ako puede isama kay Richard as I did ‘Zorro’ and ‘Captain Barbell’ with him na. As of now, kasama naman ako every Sunday sa ‘Party Pilipinas’.”

Her manager, Annabelle Rama, butts in. “May gagawin na siya, sa second quarter of 2012. We’re all ready meeting about it. Drama rin.”

“But it’s okay na bakante muna ko kasi I’m reviewing for every 1 to 5 PM for my PEP test to qualify me to enrol in college. I need to past my 3rd and 4th year high school so puro aral ako ngayon. The tests are scheduled on April 18. After that, I aim to study culinary arts in New York, the capital of all culinary schools. It’s going to be a 6 to 9 month course. It’s very expensive, but I feel I’ll get better opportunities after that.”

Whatever happened to her supposed launching film, “Huling Sayaw ni Salome”, to be helmed by Zoren Legaspi? “I honestly don’t know. Maybe you should ask Zoren himself.”

Annabelle says: “Baka walang budget. Di bale, ako na lang mismo ang magpo-produce ng indie film para sa’yo. Yung padadala natin sa filmfests abroad.”

Michelle is just one of the finalists of ABS-CBN’s Star Circle Quest but she’s now the one who’s most active. Winner Hero Angeles went back to oblivion. Sandara Park is now better known in Korea. Roxanne Guinoo has gotten married and now plays a villain role in TV5’s “Valiente”. We haven’t heard of Joross Gamboa and Joseph Bitangcol lately. “I guess I’m more blessed, at salamat din sa manager ko, si Tita Annabelle,” says Michelle.

Watch out for Michelle’s radio tour on April 12 and her personal appearance at Robinson’s Galleria Movie World for autograph signing on April 13.
