Jennylyn Mercado denies links with 3 men, poses for Maxim

No, no, no. Those are the answers to three questions show biz reporters keep asking Jennylyn Mercado, about the three men being romantically linked to her. Is Patrick Garcia her boyfriend now? No. They're just good friends. Did she get back together with Jake Cuenca? No. And Cuenca never was her boyfriend in the first placer, nor did he court her. They just became close while doing the GMA TV series Encantadia. Did she date Polo Ravales? No. And Ravales himself has denied that, saying he's devoted to girlfriend Ara Mina. Mercado answered these questions last Friday at the Imperial Palace Suites, at a press conference for Super Noypi, in which she stars with Polo Ravales, which is porbably why they're being linked together. And for the nth time — no, she didn't do a sex video with ex-boyfriend Mark Herras. But yes, she did pose for the cover of the January 2007 cover of Maxim, but not as sexy as readers of that men's magazine would expect. "A little daring lang po," she said an interview with the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP). "Hindi ko lang matanggihan si Direk Quark Henares [director of Super Noypi], dahil promo na rin daw ‘yon ng movie namin. Inalagaan naman nila ang pictorial ko na walang skin na makikita. Naka-shorts and sleeveless tops lang ako. Hindi ko kaya ‘yung mga sexy pictorial." ["It's just a little daring. I just could say no to director Quark Henares, because he said this would also promote the movie [Super Noypi]. And they took care that there wouldn't be any skin exposure during the pictorial. I was in shorts and sleeveless tops. I still can't do a sexy pictorial.'] For the full story, visit the PEP website at www.pep.ph. - GMANews.TV
