[Article] Richard Gutierrez on Solenn Heussaff
Maraming nagsasabi na bagay sila. Wala ba siyang balak ligawan si Solenn?
"Kami naman ni Solenn, friends na kami noon pa. Best friend siya ni Mond [Raymond Gutierrez, his twin brother] kaya madalas kaming lumalabas na magkakasama," sabi niya.
Balitang isa si Solenn sa gusto ng fans na makatambal ni Richard sa Captain Barbell. Ano ang masasabi niya rito?
"Malalaman ko po 'yon bukas [September 23]," sabi niya. "Makikipag-meeting ako sa GMA. Idi-discuss na namin ang Captain Barbell.
"We need to start taping na sa last week of October or sa first week of November. Pero sa January 2011 pa 'yon ipapalabas kasi hanggang December pa ang Survivor Philippines.
"Baka pag-usapan na rin namin ang Valentine movie na gagawin ko. Gusto ko naman ay isang romantic comedy para lalabas sa sinehan na nakangiti ang mga manonood.
"Hindi ko pa rin alam kung kami pa rin ni Anne [Curtis] ang magtatambal. May mga options pa kasing iku-consider."

[Article] Survivor castaway Solenn Heussaff: "I don't ride on issues. I don't want to use people."
Tahimik, walang reklamo, at kinakaya raw kasi ni Solenn ang lahat ng ipinapagawang challenges sa kanila.
In-expect ba niyang magiging ganoon ang paghanga sa kanya ng publiko?
"No, I did not expect. But I'm thankful," nakangiting sabi ni Solenn nang makausap siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa 17th floor ng GMA Network Center kahapon, September 22.
Walang scheduled presscon si Solenn kahapon. Dumaan lang sila ng kanyang best friend na si Raymond Gutierrez sa pocket presscon ng kakambal ng huli na si Richard Gutierrez para sa docu-series nitong Anatomy of A Disaster. Kaibigan din kasi ni Solenn si Richard, na host din ng Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown.
Pero nang hilingin na ma-interview siya ng press ay hindi naman tumanggi si Solenn.

[Article] Solenn, pumupunta sa bahay ni Richard
Lalong naiintriga sina Richard Gutierrez at Solenn Heusaff dahil lagi silang magkasama. 
Kahapon sa mini-presscon ng environmental docu-series ni Richard na Anatomy of a Disaster, nandu’n si Solenn na kausap si Raymond Gutierrez.
Nandun daw siya dahil may meeting sila ni Raymond pero ang ending, naging presscon na nina Richard at Solenn.
Hindi nila itinatanggi na lalo silang naging close pero bilang magkaibigan lang daw dahil madalas silang magkasamang lumabas.
Pumupunta si Solenn sa bahay nina Richard at ganundin ang huli dahil magkabarkada sila.
Hindi raw sila apektado sa mga ganu’ng intriga dahil talagang magkaibigan lang daw sila.
“Even before pa kami umalis for Survivor, lagi kaming magkasama ni Solenn. Medyo nama-magnify lang ngayon dahil sa Survivor,” paliwanag ni Richard.

[Article] Georgina, itinanggi na pinagbawalan si Solenn na ma-in love kay Richard
Heusaff.
Madalas silang nakikitang magkasama pero hindi silang dalawa lang kundi ang iba pa nilang kaibigan.
Kasama pa minsan si Georgina Wilson na kaibigan ni Solenn at ex-girlfriend ni Richard.
Nakuhanan namin ng reaksyon si Georgina tungkol sa lumabas na isyung pinagbawalan daw niya si Solenn na ma-develop kay Richard dahil may usapan daw silang walang galawan ng ex-boyfriend.
Mariing itinanggi ito ni Georgina dahil lumalabas lang daw silang magkaibigan at wala raw siyang nakikitang merong na-develop na more than friendship kina Richard at Solenn.
Sinubukang kapana yamin ng Tweetbiz si Georgina pero tumanggi ang dalaga. Nagpadala na lang siya ng text message kay Tim Yap, “We all hang out as a group and there’s really no ma lice placed.
“I’m friends with Chard so is Solenn and so is Borgy. I’ve never told Solenn anything because it’s unnecessary.
“People outside the group and in showbiz are trying to give more meaning to it all when there’s really nothing.”
Ganu’n din sagot noon pa nina Richard at Solenn na hanggang magkaibigan lang kaya sana’y huwag na raw lagyan pa ng ibang kulay.
[Article] iGMA: Solenn Heussaff on betrayals: 'It's part of the game'
Sa unang tingin marahil ay hindi aakalain ng mga manonood na magtatagal sa Survivor ang isang Solenn Heussaff na sikat na model, entrepreneur, at socialite. As a matter of fact, she was also given the title “Ang Diwata ng Isla" sa show na ito.
But Solenn proved lahat ng impressions sa kanya to be wrong dahil hanggang ngayon ay isa siya sa mga natitirang castaways sa isla.

[Article] DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: SOLENN HEUSSAFF FOR TAN-GANDESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: SOLENN HEUSSAFF FOR TAN-GAN DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: SOLENN HEUSSAFF FOR TAN-GAN
Lulu Tan-Gan's cherished knitwear enterprise, TAN-GAN, underwent a critical development at the beginning of this year. It transformed from a commercial designer label to a full-fledged designer house brand, further establishing itself as our country's premier source of stylish, tropical-weight knitwear.
Lulu, the Philippines' gorgeous and beloved Queen of Knits, remains as the house's Creative Director, and she took under her fabulous wings the equally gorgeous, talented, and fabulous Solenn Heussaff to become the brand's House Designer. “Solenn has a substantial design sense, which is universal,” Lulu says about her creative successor. “She is quick to understand the technical weaknesses and strengths of materials, which is a strong basic skill needed by designers.“
In keeping with TAN-GAN's design identity, Lulu further explains that Solenn “has maintained the house's signature look of easy chic, timeless and travel-friendly knit dressing [while] adding on her cutting-edge freshness.” Indeed, this is apparent in the summer collection she has just recently designed for the brand.

[Article] On Solenn ground
Branded as one of Manila's newest “It Girls,“ Solenn has got her hands in almost everything in any stylista's to-do list. After studying design in France for three years and spending another two learning about make up artistry and prosthetics, this half-Filipina, half-French beauty came back home to land an internship with noted designer Lulu Tan Gan. Two weeks later, she was hired.

[Article] The Next Make-up Artist: Solenn Heussaff
There's definitely a lot more to Solenn Heussaff than just a pretty face. This cover girl has downshifted her modeling and decided to focus on more artistic endeavors. And there are many. In one short work week she wears different hats. Twice a week she is a designer for the homegrown knit wear label Lulu Tan Gan; otherwise, she’s doing make up projects for Make Up For Ever Paris. And, in whatever free time is available, she dabbles at her own little pet projects, like shoe design, the first collection of which the public will see very soon.
[Article] Solenn: The girl Derek left behind
FUNFARE UPDATE By Ricardo F. Lo (The Philippine Star) Updated July 09, 2010 12:00 AM
Solenn Heusaff. The name doesn’t ring bells among the masa just yet but in the “sosyal” and showbiz circles it is synonymous to Derek Ramsay. I mean, everytime people talk about Derek’s colorful (not many people know how much it is!) love life, currently with girlfriend Angelica Panganiban (the two are in South Africa for the World Cup, Derek being a soccer fan and player), the name Solenn Heusaff always crops up.

[Article] Body Talk with Solenn Heussaff
She used to be just a name as far as showbiz-watchers were concerned, casually dropped whenever the love life of Derek Ramsay was written about. She was Derek’s “ex,” until she joined as one of the celebrity-castaways (from the original 18 down to 17 after Princess Snell quit too soon) of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown, the new GMA top-rater aired weeknights after 24 Oras.
Solenn Heussaff has put a face to the name and what a very beautiful face it is, matched by a beautiful mind and a beautiful body with which (I’m sure you have noticed) the cameras love to flirt. Eat your heart out, Derek! Look now what you’ve lost – to Survivor host Richard Gutierrez?
“We’re just friends,” added Richard who earlier revealed that he has broken up with Jewel Mische although, like most showbiz sweethearts, they had never admitted that they were ever an item.
On an island in Bangkok where the castaways spent 36 days hurdling all sorts of challenges, Richard recounted that he observed what a trooper Solenn was, not at all complaining about the harsh jungle-like conditions.
“For a girl with her background,” added Richard, “she’s impressive, she’s amazing.”
Solenn is free and so is Richard. She’s closer to Richard’s twin brother Raymond and sister Ruffa. In fact, according to Richard, Solenn is almost like a member of the Gutierrez family. “She’s often at our house.”
Solenn is half-French and half-Filipino.
I will let Solenn introduce herself.
“My dad is Louis Paul Heussaff and my mom is Cynthia Adea (A one-time Bayanihan dancer. — RFL). I have two siblings, an older sister, Vanessa, who lives in France, and my baby brother Erwan who’s here with us. I studied fashion design in Paris for three years after graduating from the European International School of Manila in Better Living, Bicutan, Metro Manila. I then interned with Dior and Fanny Liautard. I also worked as a dresser for Paris Fashion Week. I then came back here to intern with Lulu Tan Gan who hired me after about a month, then after a year I flew back to Paris to study make-up and prosthetics/body painting and worked for a bit for sitcoms like the Jamel Comedie Club, 3 Diesel projects, and a few theater plays. Then I came back to work again with Lulu and she gave me the role as in-house designer and product developer.”
A Cancerian (July 20), Solenn stands 5’6”, weighs 110 lbs., measures 33.5-26-35, and wears medium-sized shirts and 8.5-inch shoes,
“Oh, by the way,” she added, “I’m French-Filipino, not Swiss or Lebanese.”
How did you get a body like that (must be in your genes)?
“Believe it or not, I was a fat kid till about the age of 13. That’s when I started losing weight as kids in school used to tease me and call me ‘Free Willy.’ I really only started getting into regular sports at the age of 20. I did yoga four times a week. Nowadays, I stay fit by going to the gym four times a week, plyometrics once a week and I make sure to eat right, like steamed chicken or fish with veggies. No carbs except for a slice of bread in the morning and no artificial juices or soft drinks. I only drink water, buko juice or freshly-squeezed juice with no added sugar. My favorite is a glass of carrot/papaya/pineapple/cucumber every morning.”
“I actually auditioned for Survivor when I heard they were casting for the celebrity edition since I’m a fan of the actual show. I went to the gym every day for about two hours and trained in a lot of balancing exercises. I did a lot of swimming as well. I first started dieting knowing that I would be half naked on TV, hahahaha! Pero after about two weeks I decided to eat A LOT because I would need the energy and knowing that I would lose the weight anyway.”
How was the whole experience?
“I can’t give out any specific incidents, you will have to watch. But the toughest challenge for me was really the weather condition since this season was shot right during monsoon season, as well as the mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches that would bite us nonstop.”
What’s your regular diet? Do you manage to take three square meals a day?
“Yes, I always eat three meals a day. I usually start my mornings by taking four tablespoonfuls of pure calamansi, a glass of carrot/papaya/pineapple/cucumber juice with two teaspoons of Brazilian acai powder, one soft-boiled egg and a bowl of muesli with dried fruits. For lunch, anything grilled or steamed and no carbs. For dinner, soup or steamed fish with veggies. Sunday is my cheat day, though. That’s when I take pancakes, bacon, and carbs for lunch. I love Sundays, hahahaha!”
Any snacks between meals?
“I’m not much of ‘snacker’ but if ever I do feel hungry I just grab a fruits or some crackers.”
What kind of food do you avoid, and what kind do you always crave for?
“I really avoid carbs, junk food, deep-fried food and artificial sweets. The food I always crave for and could eat everyday would be sinigang na baboy. Yuuuuummmmm! Just thinking of it makes my mouth water with excitement, hahahaha!”
How much water do you take per day? Juices, soft drink, coffee or tea?
“I take two glasses of water before every meal. During the day though I must admit I ‘forget’ to drink. I’m weird. My mum always tells me that I was a special child, hahahaha! I sometimes drink Earl Grey tea or have an Expresso shot every other morning. Only fresh juices for me!”
What vitamins do you take?
“I take vitamin C, Biotin and Acai tablets.”
What regular workout do you do? Do you dance like your mom? Do you dabble insports?
“My mum is an ex-Bayanihan dancer who traveled the world to teach other countries about our cultural dances. My father was a Navy Seal and was traveling with his ship when he met my mum in Egypt at one of her shows. They fell in love and looked what popped out — me, hahahaha! Well, my sister first then me and bunso Erwan. I dance well when I’m in clubs. I actually dance like a guy from the hood, hahahaha! Super not ‘social’ dancing. I’m the crazy girl you see on the side waving her hands in the air like I just don’t care. I’m not a good dancer though when it comes to anything that’s choreographed. I’m like a stiff board, hahahaha!”
Any part of your body that needs improvement?
“My stomach. I want the ‘ab line’ and I would also like to have Madonna’s arms. We’ll see how long I need to achieve that. Hmmmmm.”
Most vulnerable part of your body?
“Love handles.”
And favorite part of your body?
“My legs.”
What part of a man’s body do you look at first?
“The neck. I think it’s sexy. Hahahaha!”
What else turns you on in a man? And what turns you off?
“I like guys who are confident and smart, and can make me laugh. Someone who can be crazy yet serious at the same time and someone who’s not jealous. All my friends are men, so my guy definitely needs to be okay with that. If not, you can walk out the door! I hate guys who are vain and look at themselves in the mirror too much and guys who are cocky. Major major turn off!”
How much sleep do you get per night?
“I’m usually in bed by 10:30 and get up at 7 or 8 depending on the job that’s got to be done!”
Favorite sleep wear.
“Granny panties, hahahaha, and loose jogging pants and oversized T-shirt. Basically, something that you can’t tick in the sexy box, hahahaha!”
How many pillows do you sleep with?
“Four. One for my head, one under my feet and one on each side. I’m scared to wake up next to Sadako, hahahaha!”
Do you snore? Do you talk in your sleep? Do you sleepwalk?
“I snore when I’m really, really, really sleepy but it’s like a mouse snore, so I’ve been told. I do talk in my sleep sometimes, that’s why no reporters are allowed near me when I sleep. I might answer questions I don’t want to, hahahaha! And I don’t sleepwalk. That’s scary, hahahaha!”
Last thing that you do before you go to sleep.
“Go on the computer for a bit and drink a lot of water ‘cause at this point I’m dying of thirst and start remembering that my body needs agua, hahahaha!”
First thing that you do when you wake up.
“Go to the toilet and wash my face, then check my phone and go to my kitchen with my laptop for breakfast.”
How’s your love life? What’s between you and Richard Gutierrez (describe how you were during the Survivor shoot in Thailand; mention what you found likeable about each other, etc.)?
“My love life is somewhere between Leo and the Titanic, hahahaha! It’s on ‘pause mode’ right now. I’ve been going from one relationship to another and I just want to focus on myself and my career at the moment. I need to chill, hahahaha! Chard and I are close friends lang. I’ve known him for a while since I’m really close to Mond. And after the whole Survivor experience we kinda got closer because obviously no one else experienced the same adventure. Plus, he’s single, too, and wants the same thing, too, so we agreed to take time for ourselves. And it’s fun to hang out with single people when you’re single! All my girlfriends have a man already, so now it’s just Mond, Bubbles (Paraiso), Chard and me, hahahaha!”
Any nightlife?
“I like to hang out at night sometimes like watch a movie then have a glass of wine. I go out every once in a while though to let loose and dance.”
How do you cope with stress? Do you meditate, listen to music (what kind?), watch movies (what kind; last movie that you saw)?
“I listen to music and go running. I love going to the movie theater as well; I could do it every night! Just came back from one actually. I don’t even know the title, huh; it’s the new one of Drew bery Moore. (Drew Barrymore, with Justin Long, in Going The Distance. — RFL).”
How do you take care of your skin?
“I recently discovered Body Shop’s Tea Tree facial scrub. I use it every day, then every night I use the Tea Tree night cream.”
Favorite hideaway/favorite city?
“I love going to Paris, just because I studied there and still have a lot of friends there that I miss everyday. I also love the long walks I take on my own in the streets of Paris and sitting on my own in the cafes and watching people go by with all their different styles and attitudes. It’s like watching a movie.”
Are you an optimist or a worrier (outlook in life)?
“Optimist. I think you will always learn something whether what’s coming your way is good or bad. And if you keep thinking something good will happen to you, then it will eventually happen. Of course, there are times where you panic for a second and wonder where you’re going to be in 10 years but it never lasts too long.”
Name three men that you think have nice bodies.
“Paul Walker, Piolo Pascual, Colin Farrell.”
And three women that you think have nice bodies.
“Ines Lobregat, Jessica Alba, Aubrey Miles.”
Using only body language, how would you make a man know that you admire him (do you wink at him, make sign language)?
“I just stare at him in the eyes till he gets scared, hahahaha!”
