Yesterday we posted the first part of PEP’s Showbiz Shocker list (number 6-10). If you missed it, go HERE. For today, we’re gonna present PEP’s top 5 Showbiz Shockers of 2007! On number 5, they have Angel Locsin and her abrupt transfer to the Kapamilya network. What made it shocking were the allegations that Angel and her manager lied to GMA about leaving, that they will come back after the actress’ Paris vacation. The good thing is, they have moved on and GMA found another big star for their network – Marian Rivera as Marimar! On the fourth position is the very recent brewing scandal between ABSCBN, GMA and AGB Nielsen. According to ABS, GMA cheated in Bacolod to gain higher ratings; GMA denies this and is planning to sue the Kapamilya network. So far, lawsuits have yet to be filed. This is one brewing scandal we have to watch for in 2008!

In number 3 is the HOT Gretchen Barretto and John Estrada KISScandal. With the advent of camera phones and easy file transfer, the scandalous kiss of the two celebrities was well-documented and easily leaked. Top 2 on the list is Ruffa Gutierrez and Yilmaz Bektas’ out of the blue marriage split. Unfortunately it wasn’t an amicable one, with both sides airing their dirty laundry. The upside? The split single-handedly relaunched Ruffa’s career. She’s now hosting The Buzz and appeared in teleseryes. And finally, we have the most shocking showbiz issue of 2007 – the Kris-James-Hope love triangle! James Yap allegedly had an affair with Hope Centeno, a Belo Clinic receptionist. James denied everything and Kris gave him a second chance. Happily, the two are still together with one baby boy. Hopefully other celebrity marriage infidelities won’t become national issue like this one. Still, it adds spice to our daily Pinoy life! Hehe! So here’s to a more colorful 2008!
