Rumors began circulating that Princess Snell had already posed for FHM Philippines in its August 2008 issue even before she joined StarStruck V, as opposed to her statement on Startalk last week that she has never posed for a men's magazine [CLICK HERE for the story].

Then the photo of a certain Marjorie Corwin who strongly resembled Princess was found in the inside pages of the said issue.

On Showbiz Central yesterday, January 31, Princess finally told the truth.

YES, IT'S HER. She said, "Yes, nakapag-pose na ako sa men's mag. Ako nga ang Marjorie na 'yon na sinasabi nila. Pangalan ko din 'yon kasi apat po ang pangalan ko—Princess Tinkerbell Cristina Marjorie ang pangalan ko, at Snell ang apelyido ko.

"Noong ginawa ko 'yong photo shoot na 'yon, e, it was for my folio. Sabi ng photographer ko, 'Gusto mo i-post na 'yan sa magazine?' And at some point, nag-yes ako noong time na 'yon. Kaso, hindi ko alam kung saang magazine naman. Noong sabi niya na FHM at napasok na, yun na, lumabas na sa FHM ."

FHM 's associate publisher Richard Rosario confirmed this.

"That was somewhere around 2008," he said. "Princess Snell and this person are one and the same. Iisang tao lang ito."

Richard proceeded to explain the magazine's protocol on booking models such as Princess: "Mayroon instance na FHM directly ang magko-course or magko-contact ng model para sa photo shoot. Pangalawa is mayroon kaming mga contributory photographers sa magazine namin and on grounds of good authority, binibigyan namin ng pahintulot ang mga photographers na ito to contract on their own, on behalf of the magazine, to look for models na gusto rin mag-pose. In the case of Princess naman, ang nangyari si Jay Tablante [ace photographer] ang nakapag-book kay Princess."

Richard assured the public that Princess' inclusion in the issue was made with her consent..

"Ang sa amin, at sa FHM  lang is ginagawa namin o minamabuti namin na talagang sundin 'yong protocols na nakatala din sa kumpanya at sa FHM para din siyempre na masiguro din namin na lahat ng nilalabas naming larawan or litrato sa magazine, e may consent."

NO BIG DEAL. For Princess, it was no big deal to do those sexy poses. It was all part of her work as a model, she said.

"Noong time I posed for it, okay lang sa akin. Ako 'yong type na ganoon na wala akong limits sa lahat. It's a project and trabaho ko 'yon. Hindi ko siya masyado pinansin at para sa akin, e, okay lang."

On the other hand, she apologized to her fans and to the people who got involved for not telling the truth right away.

"Pasensiya na sa lahat ng nagagalit at alam ko na maraming nagagalit kasi siyempre, parang nagsinungaling ako noong time na 'yon," said Princess. "Sinabi ko na hindi ako nag-pose sa men's magazine. Siyempre, maraming nairita sa akin na parang, 'Sabihin mo na lang ang totoo at huwag na magsinungaling.'

"Thankful ako na ino-open itong issue na ito, at sa lahat ng bumubuo ng FHM, e, sana huwag kayong magalit sa akin. Hindi ko ikinahihiya ang sarili ko na I posed for FHM, kasi FHM, maganda siyang magazine."
