RUFFA GUTIERREZ IS NOT JUST A WOMAN. She is the woman. The kind whose oft glamorous physicality may intimidate at first, but give it a few minutes and you will quickly realize that Ruffa is a woman’s woman. In her most recent cover for MEGA, the endearingly candid beauty queen, actress and host talks about making movies that make her feel young again, the excitement and stress that comes with working with family on reality TV, her theory on the Internet, single motherhood and walking down the aisle again.
