"Dramatic."
That's the apt word to describe 2012, which had been full of lavish and unpredictable events.
Confrontations abounded.
Remember the "red" blouse of Annabelle Rama that ignited the fury of Amalia Fuentes? This story took place at the wake of the latter's husband, Joey Stevens.
How about this airport incident: Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto versus Mon Tulfo?
This year had not been a good one as far as lovelife is concerned. Breakups were quite prevalent.
But true to what astrologers claimed, the "water dragon" is perfect for "new beginnings," so most celebrity couples who called it quits did not have a hard time moving on.
Take Derek Ramsay and Angelica Panganiban as examples.
After ending their six-year relationship last May (CLICK HERE to read story), the two found love after just a few months.
Angelica is now the girlfriend of John Lloyd Cruz, while Derek has a "non-showbiz girl" named Alexa, who's also a Frisbee player.
Then there's the Gerald Anderson and Sarah Geronimo aborted romance which had a very promising start.
But the Star Magic actor chose to stop courting the 24-year-old performer.
The latter denied that her strict parents, Daddy Delfin and Mommy Divine, had something to do with Gerald backing out. “Hindi po, sa totoo lang talaga, hindi po ang mommy ko ang nagpatigil kay Gerald na manligaw. Wala,” she said in her show Sarah G Live.
But to showbiz insiders, Sarah didn't fight for him.
