Guess What? Desy Ratnasari

It seems there is never enough news about artist Desy Ratnasari in the papers. The first and the most controversial report was about her supposed relationship with former manpower minister Abdul Latief.

Then, people were surprised by reports of her sudden marriage to Trenadi Pramudya, in her hometown of Sukabumi in February.

Now she has been reportedly making fun of two brothers who are smitten with her.

But don't get too carried away. This latest piece on the 26- year-old artist is not true. In fact, it is only a synopsis of the artist's new television series, Cinta (Love), to be screened by private television station RCTI by the end of April.

Dubbed "Mrs. No Comment" for her reluctance to answer questions about her personal life, the singer of popular song Tenda Biru (Blue Tent) has donned a new mantle in her acting career.

In the 26-episode series, she is not her usual stereotype of an innocent and pitiful girl or a victim of other people's evil plots. Instead, she plays a university student, who makes fun of the love of a sick man and falls pregnant to his macho and handsome brother.

Cinta, produced by Indika Entertainment, was adapted from Mira W's novel Seandainya Aku Boleh Memilih (If I Can Choose). (ste)
