The Scandals of 2008

The news that the Boricua singer became a father of twins overnight with the help of a surrogate mother generated plenty of criticism, especially from the Catholic church which lambasted him for living a vida loca. Despite the church's outlook, friends, family, and fans have supported the singer and are incredibly happy for him.

This was certainly not the Mexican singer's year. His wife not only filed for divorce, but also alleged that he beat her and that she questioned his sexual orientation. On top of that, she asked for thousands of dollars in alimony for her and their children.

Just when it looked like the hosts of Primer Impacto couldn't be happier, the couple were seen fighting in the Dominican Republic, where the Mexican journalist allegedly hit Oswaldo Ríos' former wife. Apparently everyone surrounding them heard the screams, and she returned to Miami, and promptly filed for divorce.

In 2008, the Amores perros star stuck his foot in his mouth when he denied that he was the father of the Argentine actress' baby, alleging that the two were only friends. He finally admitted that he is the father and the two are now living happily in Spain, awaiting the stork.

What started with a love story ended with one of the biggest scandals of the year when the journalist called 911 and alleged that her young husband was assaulting her. Jail time and one restraining order later, and the two are supposedly back together, but living in separate homes and going to couples' therapy.

The Queen of Pop made headlines when she was said to be having a secret love affair with Yankee's baseball player Alex Rodríguez in the midst of his divorce. Months later Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie ended up calling it quits too.

The irreverent and her daughter were both being treated for drug and alcohol abuse at the same time this year. While Alejandra Guzmán was stuck in rehab, her daughter was hospitalized after taking pills and alcohol when she partied till the wee hours of the night with her alleged girlfriend, a classmate from school.

The story of these two sisters continued to unravel this year. Laura and Thalis spent the majority of 2008 publicly attacking each other, and the singer assured that those that don't "vibe" with her don't exist. On her part, Zapata doesn't even envy her waist size, and wants nothing to do with her.

Everything was running smoothly with the musical Aventurera until the battle began when Niurkadefended designer Mitzy, who Carmen Salinas accused of charging her too much for the show's costumes. The Cuban actress told the producer to shut up, and was promptly fired from the show and kicked to the curbside.

The reggaeton duo practically declared war on La Caballota, after the singer kept on bad-mouthing the Residente Calle 13 crooners. In their disc Los de atrás vienen conmigo, the pair accuse her of being an uneducated and false hypocrite, which made Ivy show her claws when she retaliated by calling them low class dogs.

On his TV show, El francotirador(Canal 2) in Peru, Jaime Bayley badmouthed Laura and accused her of using minors to create fictitious situations on her talk show Laura en América. Laura's reputation was virtually crushed, and she's still trying to sue him for defamation.

In the midst of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's perfect marriage, the actor's ex, Jennifer Aniston, criticized the Pitt's new partner for talking about her feeling for Pitt while the Friends actress was still married to him.

This year we saw the Yo amo a Juan querendón star get divorced from her husband of 11 years. What's worse was that the alleged reason for the breakup was an affair she was having with costar Eduardo Santamarina, which she denies.

A few months after ending her relationship with Eduardo Santamarina, the actress announced that she was having a child with boyfriend Renato Malo Juvera. A little while after that, the young beau said that the actress just disappeared and said she wanted nothing to do with him. Thereafter, she declared that she just wanted to have her baby alone and be a single mom.

Recently, the former singer was caught in the middle of a scandal when one of her fans who participated on American Idol committed suicide outside Abdul's home in Sherman Oaks, California. The reality show judge had no connection to the fan who overdosed on pills after being eliminated in the show's auditions.

Because of Sienna Miller, the actor, married with four kids, left everything for her and the whole world found out when they were caught naked in Porto Fino, Italy. The worst part is that, with no family and nowhere to call home, the actor was left with nothing when Miller dumped him two weeks ago.

After six years of marriage, the former model and ex Beatle put an end to their relationship with a nasty divorce, where she received only a fifth of the fortune she asked for.
