Blah! (I'd Say Bah Humbug But Christmas Is Over)
Posted by: Denelle
My first resolution of the New Year . . . not to get sick. And I'll start working on it as soon as I get over this lousy cold I have. My head hurts, my chest is congested, my throat is sore. Is there some categorical imperative that illness follows the holidays? If so, who do I see about getting that changed?
Since I've spent most of the past four days under the influence of various medications I haven't had much motivation to come up with any resolutions. However, I am mulling them over and plan on coming up with a few by the end of the week.
In the meantime, I thought we'd take a look at 2006 celebrity news in review (hey it's mindless and at least mildly entertaining). So without further ado and in no particular order:
2006 Celebrity Happenings
Paris Hilton dated Paris, dumped Paris, dated Stavros somebody and dumped him, was arrested for DUI, released a really, really, really bad album that pretty much no one bought and generally contributed in no way to the betterment of society.
Britney Spears had baby number two, celebrated baby number one's birthday, dumped her joke of a husband but then took up with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan (bad choice). Since then she's flashed her lady-bits on more than one occasion, danced half dressed on more than one bar and passed out from "exhaustion" at a club. Me thinks she needs to slow down and take care of her kids before someone takes them away from her.
George Clooney won an Oscar, was named sexiest man alive for the second time and managed to remain Hollywood's most eligible bachelor.
Lindsay Lohan had more wardrobe malfunctions that can possible listed, told the world that she wanted to win an Oscar by the time she was 30 and then was promptly publicly scolded by a movie producer and her co-stars for her lack of professionalism because she was too busy partying to show up for work. She also had a 10K bag and tons of jewels stolen when she foolishly left it laying on a luggage cart in a London airport. And after multiple reports of out of control drinking Lohan started attending AA meetings.
Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes, Brook Shields, Gwen Stefani, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rachel Weisz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie all had children. Thereby significantly increasing the number of beautiful children likely to take over Hollywood in approximately 20 years.
Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn broke up. Which was really not a surprise to anyone.
Jessica Simpson had what equates to a year long nervous breakdown while her ex-husband moved on to a new love.
Aaron Spelling died ending an era in television and leaving his daughter so broke she had to sell her stuff in a yard sale just to make a few bucks.
Other stuff happened too (David Beckham resigned from the UK team, Rosie and Donald fought over everything, Johnnie Depp brought Captain Jack Sparrow back to our screens, etc...) but the drugs are kicking in again and I'm simply to tired to focus on the shallowness of the pretty people any more.
My one prediction for 2007 is that Britney Spears will end up in rehab because of "exhaustion" and will then make the come-back of the year because for better or worse everyone is obsessed with her.
