2011 show biz shockers
PIOLO Pascual and KC Concepcion. JIM GUIAO PUNZALAN
Scandals and controversies are the stuff show business is made of. Funny how show biz issues beat national news in scope and impact most of the time.
Perhaps it’s because this chismis/intriga/chika thing has become the Filipinos’ national pastime. It serves as sort of a comic relief to see our idols fall and fail like lesser mortals do.
Let’s look back on the major industry shockers of 2011 and the lessons they left us. Here’s to an even more exciting roller-coaster ride in the show biz carnival in 2012. Send in the clowns. Let the masquerade begin…
Ramgen Revilla murder case: The plot thickens, but blood is not always thicker than water. The love of money is the root of all evil, even among branches of the same family. Make sure your foundation is built on solid ground and beware of fallen twigs.
KC Concepcion-Piolo Pascual breakup: We cannot change our lovers. We can only unmask them.
DJ Mo Twister-Rhian Ramos video scandal: When you fall in love these days, it’s not just your heart you put on the line. You never know what ends up online. Love is still blind, but it sometimes comes with a hidden camera.
Andi Eigenman’s pregnancy questions: A baby is a wake-up call after a night of teenage passion. Boys can make babies but are often too infantile to own up to the deed. You can be heavy with child and even more pregnant with… (after)thoughts.
Ruffa Gutierrez-John Lloyd Cruz-Shaina Magdayao brouhaha: Exes can sometimes leave unwanted EXcess emotional baggage. You can’t have a future together if you’re so engrossed in each other’s past.
Claudine Barretto-Raymart Santiago marriage blues: Marriage can sometimes be a mirage. What a couple sees, we can’t. And what we see, a couple may not.
Matteo Guidicelli-Coco Martin brawl over Maja Salvador: A love triangle has many stories. It depends which angle you are looking at.
Marian Rivera vs Heart Evangelista over Dingdong Dantes: It’s easy to trust our partner but it’s tough to trust the women/men around him/her.
Annabelle Rama vs Nadia Montenegro: As my mom used to say, “Mag-ingat sa taong di niyo kilala, pero mas mag-ingat sa taong kilala nyo na.”
