E-news at its best!
An ABS-CBN insider sid that come September this year a new game show to be hosted by Kris Aquino and another show to be hosted by Robin Padilla will eventually replace the time slot of “Wowowee“!
If these were true, what would happen to Willie Revillame who still has a contract for “Wowowee” up to the November of next year? Will he be come a “Frozen delight”?
We’ll just have to wait until then!
True to form, and out of respect for the presidential inaugural, James Yap, the shy and soft-spoken estranged husband of Kris Aquino, has opted to remain quiet on their breakup, which was confirmed by Kris on her farewell appearance on the ABS-CBN talk show “The Buzz.”
“Respeto lang po kay Presidente Noynoy,” James told The STAR in a brief interview yesterday. “He will take his oath of office tomorrow at ayoko namang agawan siya ng eksena. Our country has a lot of problems. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ang problema namin ng asawa ko ang pinagtutuunan ng pansin ng tao.”
A lot of people are taking Kris to task on why she has to steal the show from her Kuya Noynoy, who will be sworn in as the 15th president of the Philippines tomorrow at austere ceremonies at the newly-renovated Quirino Grandstand. He’s doing away with the parade to cut costs. “Kris said on The Buzz that she has kept quiet for two years about her marital problem,” said a disappointed Kris fan. “If she had waited that long, couldn’t she have waited two weeks or two months more until after Noynoy had taken his oath of office and gotten settled in office before she spoke out about her domestic problem?”
Kris left home last week with sons Joshua and Baby James, leaving James alone at the new house in Makati they bought last year from the money they got from selling their conjugal home in Valle Verde in Quezon City. Asked if Kris broke up with him so that she and her sons could move to Malacañang by themselves, James said, “It’s up to her.”
Would he have wanted to move with them to Malacañang if he and Kris hadn’t broken up?
“Bakit ako lilipat doon, eh, may bahay naman akong tinitirhan?” Asked further what he plans to do now that Kris has publicly confirmed their breakup, James said, “It’s up to her,” insisting that no third party was involved in the breakup as there was none in their previous fights.
Meanwhile, here’s Kris’ text message to The STAR in reaction to the STAR story that she’s a “controlling” and “domineering” wife:
“That snippet of a conversation you printed occurred on April 26. And that wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back – it was what James told Baby James in front of me. Sorry but I can’t make public what it was. That’s why I kept my silence on The Buzz last Sunday. At three-years-old, my son is vulnerable and can be emotionally and psychologically damaged.”
“May I make it clear that I didn’t provoke that fight. We were keeping our distance from each other for several weeks when James exploded. Yes, I am guilty of many times saying I wanted out. But I have never involved our son. I have never said words that would hurt Baby James and negate his value as my child. I am trying to be decent and proper.”
“It isn’t valuing my feelings. You of all people and after all you have witnessed in all your years of being Ricky Lo you would know that infidelity once accused and, may I add, broadcast on national television and with lurid details thrown at your face, somehow no matter how it is denied and no matter how hard you may try to believe your husband, the very fact that you needed to be publicly humiliated and privately mocked just puts wounds in your heart and mind that don’t heal.”
“I have never controlled James. More than one year na nga akong hindi nakikialam sa kanya. We have been living under one roof but totally separate lives. I honestly felt I was near my breaking point last week – that I could easily have a nervous breakdown because of presenting an everything-is-OK picture to the world when my home life has been so unhappy for so long. I was tired of lying to the world and lying to myself.”
“Our lawyers discussed with Dondon Monteverde (James’ manager) last Saturday and they will meet with James’ lawyers in the next few days. Under the law, because of the kids I do have a right to our condo in Makati but if he refuses to vacate, ayoko ng gulo. My Mom was insistent before that the practical thing to do was to ask for a prenup. James is smarter than you all give him credit for. He told me then na-i-insulto ang pagkatao niya and I was stupid enough to not insist.”
“I just want a chance to heal. Akala ng lahat ako lang yung madaldal at pwedeng masakit magsalita. Hindi niyo lang alam lahat ng insultong inabot na rin ng pagkatao ko sa years na pinagsamahan namin. I have shared all this with off the record. I am not asking you to take my side but just to see why I am firm in saying this is a separation that will be legalized and finalized.”
By the way, James said that he’s attending President-elect Noynoy Aquino’s inaugural tomorrow. After all, in spite of his and Kris’ domestic problem, he’s still very much a member of the family.

James Yap
B-Meg Derby Ace superstar guard James Yap was caught by surprise upon the announcement of his controversial wife, actress/TV host Kris Aquino that their marriage is over – again – on the latter’s television program last Sunday.
“Hindi ko alam na may ganun (I don’t have an idea about it),” the 28-year-old Yap said after the Llamados’ game that evening at the Araneta Coliseum.
The 6-foot-3 Yap actually participated in the PBA’s “Read to Lead” program alongside league commissioner Sonny Barrios during the first half of the first game and was smiling and waving to his supporters when he entered the hardcourt.
A Bulletin source said it was prior to Derby Ace’s game versus Barako Energy Coffee that Yap was informed about the announcement, and it was obvious he was affected by it when he struggled in the first half.
Overall, Yap went 6-of-16 from the perimeter but still finished with 18 points, two rebounds and two assists as the Llamados won, 106-100.
About three weeks ago, the two were seen together with their three-year-old son Baby James during the proclamation of President-elect Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” C. Aquino III at the House of Representatives. Yap recently went to the Aquino residence in Times Street in Quezon City to meet with his brother-in-law.
Prior to Sunday’s game, Yap said he would go to his brother-in-law’s oath-taking. However, after Kris announced the end of their marriage, a person privy to Yap’s plans said he doubts if “he will go there.”
Yap, the league’s 2005 Most Valuable Player (MVP), and the 39-year-old Aquino were married in July 2005 in civil wedding that was kept unknown to the public until the following year. The couple’s son was born on April 19, 2007.
Their marriage, however, was rocked by various controversies. A person close to Yap said there’s no third party.
Yap’s coach Ryan Gregorio said despite the latest controversy, he was impressed with the way his superstar player has handled the situation.
“I’m so impressed with the way he can shut off all the distractions, all the things happening around him,” Gregorio said. “He’s just focused in playing high-level basketball. That’s really one trait that separates him from others, and that’s why he’s so good on what he’s doing.”
“I told the team that we just could not be deaf, blind, and dumb about what is happening, especially with James. But all we can tell James is that we fully support him and love him,” Gregorio said.

Patrick Garcia and son Alex Jazz Mercado
At last father Patrick Garcia and son Alex Jazz Mercado got up-close and personal for the fist time. Patrick got to see his son from Jennylyn Mercado at the 1st birthday party of Cheska and Doug Kramer child. They look so adorable together.
Does Alex Jazz looks like Patrick or Jennylyn?
During the Box Office Entertainment Awards, where Luis Manzano and John Lloyd Cruz was declared co-winners for the Best Actor category for the movie “In My Life“, where the two actors played gay lovers. John Lloyd thanked his “leading lady” in In My Life, referring to Luis who played his gay lover.
The moment was shown on the picture above! Luis hugged John Lloyd with the other leg on air. . . !
A very reliable source said that the real reason of the Kris Aquino-James Yap break-up this time was the widening gap between the two which starts with a small favor that James asked Kris.
The favor that James asked his wife Kris was to help his sister get a US visa, his sister is a nurse and stayed with them while still studying. This said sister is very close to James. But Kris misinterpreted the favor asked by James as she answered back that she does not want to extend her connection just to get his sister a Visa, that is when James felt betrayed.
Then, during the campaign period James asked the permission of Kris to visit a relative in Negros, but Kris got angry since the relative does not support his brother at all. And Kris then refused to let James go and visit the said relative.
And lastly, Joshua is no longer as close to James as before and all of that caused her marriage’s final breakdown.
Kris Aquino had her last day as TV talk show host on The Buuzz yesterday. And like always she wanted to end her day as a talk show host with a bang. She announced on an interview with co-host Boy Abunda that she has given up her marriage to basketball superstar James Yap!
Here’s the interview’s transcript:
Boy Abunda: Krissy, maraming tanong, maraming opinyon, speculations. This is your chance. We will listen. What do you have to say?
Kris Aquino: First, I’m sorry about Tuesday [engagement in Cebu]. For so long, ilang buwan naman na nagampanan ko ang lahat ng tungkulin ko, lahat ng responsibilidad sa trabaho at sa kampanya kahit na mayroon kaming pinagdadaanan sa tahanan namin. It was a sign of weakness on my part not to show up, and I’m sorry about that. I’m sorry that you had to be the one to answer because you felt uncomfortable making up an excuse.
About what we’ve been through, I think naman Boy hindi lahat sikreto sa inyong lahat, kung ano ang mga napagdaanan namin in our married life. I think also the whole Philippines is fully aware na when my mom was alive and ngayon, my siblings have tried to bridge whatever gaps — and I mean gaps, marami na kasi. T-ini-ry nila na tulungan kaming ayusin yung mga problema namin.
I have not sat down (with my siblings)…lahat through text — kay ate, kay Pinky. Through phone, nakausap ko si Viel. Nag-text din kami ni Noy. Siyempre sila lahat, gusto nila sana maayos pa.
I just want to say na whatever decision I have come to, it’s not a spur of the moment decision. Hindi ito nangyari na nagising lang ako isang araw at sinabi kong ayoko na. Matagal naming sinubukan. James and I both tried to really make this work.
On my part, what I’m comfortable saying is, with finality I can say, ako sumuko na.
Ang dami kong pinag-isipan kung paano ko maibabahagi sa lahat kung anong pinagdaanan namin without revealing anything painful. But there’s no way of doing that.
Last night, mga 4 in the morning, hindi ako makatulog pa. Katabi ko si Baby James, and I think he had a bad dream kasi he started to cry in his sleep. And that’s when it came to me, and I’m sure lahat ng mga nanay maiintindihan ako. Kung anuman ang dahilan why this marriage, on my part I’m saying, is over, the only person I will owe and explanation to, and the only person who can demand from me na bakit kayo naghiwalay, is my son, on my part I’m saying, is over, the only person I will owe and explanation to, and the only person who can demand from me na bakit kayo naghiwalay, is my son.
And kagabi Boy, na-realize ko, the worst thing I can do for Baby James is, when he’s 7 or 8 years old and mahanap niya sa YouTube yung explanation kung bakit naghiwalay ang nanay at tatay niya. He deserves much more than that. He deserves to hear it only from me and only from James. Because in any separation, there are 2 sides to the story. And we owe it to him, James will owe it to him, that I will owe it to him to explain to him.
But I’m sure you will all understand me. My decision to keep quiet is not because on June 30 magiging presidente si Noy. My decision to keep quiet is because I asked myself ‘Kapag inexplain ko kay Baby James, number one mauunawaan ba niya ako? Number 2, rerespetuhin pa ba niya ako? At number 3, mamahalin pa ba niya ako?’ At nasagot ko naman kagabi na ‘yes.’ I know my son will understand me, will respect me and still love me. And I feel that he will love me more, respect me more, and value me more if I keep quiet today.
I know that will leave so many unanswered questions, but those questions, only Baby James deserves to hear the answers to. Siguro Boy, this is part of growing up. It’s part of realizing that yes, I am public and I owe all of you an explanation, but apart from God, the only one I’m answerable to is kung di man mga kapatid ko eh ang anak ko.
So sana po, maiintindihan ninyo po ako na yung mga legal na aspeto ng pagsasama namin ni James, inuumpisahan na naming ayusin lahat yun. Kung anuman ang mga naging problema namin, kung anuman ang mga napag-awayan namin, kung anuman ang naganap sa tahanan namin, let it stay there. Because I’m doing this for my son, because he’s only 3 years old and he really doesn’t deserve na kung ano yung trials na pinagdaanan ng parents niya, kailangang ungkat-ungkatin at ulit-ulitin, wag na.
Kung this will mean na maraming hindi makakaintindi sa akin or sasabihin, idya-judge ako, then let it be. I don’t mind. The world can judge me. I just want my son to be able to respect me and respect his father. Because at the end of the day, ang utang namin sa kanya. Kasi ang pinakamaaapektuhan ng pangyayaring ito ang anak ko. To a certain extent, of course, it will affect Josh but it’s really Baby James who will really be affected.
And maybe, yung sinasabi ng mom ko sa akin parati na ‘Krissy, love is bringing out the best in each other.’ Maybe Baby James is really bringing out the best in me. And that’s it, Boy. I really hope they understand that this is for my son.
Boy: Naiintindihan ko. Maraming salamat, Krissy .
James Yap was interviewed on the rift between him and wife Kris Aquino that leads to her leaving their marital home and tagging along her sons Joshua and Baby James. James has only a few words to share.
This is what he said:
“Andito lang ako to support, kung anuman ang maging desisyon niya.”
Does this means that their marriage rift will depend on the decision of Kris if she is willing to make their marriage work?
What do you think?
Kris Aquino left their marital home last Monday with her two kids Joshua and Baby James in tow.
The last time that Kris left husband James Yap was December of last year. Will she leave for good this tome around? The last time they had a spat was due to a female fan where Kris Aquino confronted the girl in their house.
What could have caused the misunderstanding this time around?
Kris Aquino’s camp issued a statement on the matter:
“There have been a series of life altering events in my life this past year – from our mother’s death to my brother’s election and now my moving in a different direction as far as my career is concerned. Lastly, there is the state of my marriage. I would like to say that where I am now is a result of many months of fortitude, careful thought. My sole priority is the well being of my sons Josh and Bimby. We are together, they are in my care and it’s my intention and prayer to make this period of our lives to be as free from trauma as possible. I choose to keep my silence primarily because my current state is not one for celebration or lengthy discussion but rather prayer, private reflection and quiet. It is in the best interest of my two sons that I remain quiet most especially because I shouldn’t make what’s already difficult become more painful.”
Will Kris Aquino stay mum on the matter of her marital status as she declared that she is more mature now and will keep her privacy?
Let’s just wait and see!
Claudine Barretto‘s drama anthology Claudine on GMA7 will be off the air soon! GMA7 executive claims that it is gaining viewer ship and the low ratings has nothing to do with the axing of the said show (do you agree with their statement?). Claudine will have another show, but this time in a soap opera with many stars in the cast.
But the executives of the network admitted that they will then ax Diz Is It next due to low ratings it has been getting and will be replaced with a new show this coming August.
Does anybody cares if this shows will be off the air?
