Arnold has been famous for a long time and of course he moved into politics after hooking up with Maria Schriver. Arnold came under fire earlier this year when it was exposed that not only had he been cheating on Maria with the maid, he had fathered a child with her.
Sinead popped back up on our radar when she came out doing interviews about how she could not get laid and was desperate for some loving of the sexual kind. This led her to jump into a marriage that actually shattered Kim Kardashian's wedded bliss by lasting only 16 days.
Lindsay spent another year just like most of her recent years, in trouble with the law. 2011 had her bouncing from court to jail to the morgue and back more times than we can keep track of. I am expecting more of the same from Lindsay in 2012.
The Kardashians have captured our attention over the years and polarized the entire world. Either you love them or hate them. They have managed to rack up quite the year in news across the board. Of course they took a lot of heat for Kim Kardashian's alleged fake wedding/real divorce to Kris Humphries, rumors of their clothing line being manufactured in sweatshops and ending the year with another out of wedlock pregnancy by oldest sister Kourtney. We'll have to stay tuned in 2012 to see if the Kardashians can pull it together and get back on top or if their "brand" will simply fade away.
Jeff Conaway burst on the scene back in the day on the hit tv show Taxi. Jeff spent a lot of time in and out of rehab most famously on Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab show. I think everyone was rooting for Jeff although it was painfully obvious that he wasn't going to be able to battle his demons of drug addiction. Sadly Jeff died earlier this year and surprisingly his death was caused by a number of conditions, including coronary artery disease and pneumonia and not a drug overdose. We will all miss you Jeff.
I know, it really wasn't a big shocker that these two broke up but I was surprised at how quickly it fell apart. It was clear to see that they weren't meant for each other and the whole thing became a runaway train for Kim. But I thought they'd be able to fake it for a couple years at least.
Least Surprising Break Up: Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore
Rumors of Ashton and his adulterous hot tub parties ran rampant through the news this past year. Many of us figured that Demi and Ashton had a "understanding" in their "marriage" to don't ask don't tell but when Ashton had a fling that became very publicized, Demi was left with no option but to file for divorce from Ashton.
I'm sure Charlie is on eveyone's list of meltdowns this year. He knocked Britney Spears way off the charts for public craziness as he ranted and raved his way to losing his job, kids, wife and goddesses. Who knows if Charlie will ever get back on top again but we can thank him for the biggest catch phrase of 2011... "WINNING!"
I have made it a point to not post about Casey Anthony on this site. The only exception was for the verdict, which was shocking to say the least. I watched the entire trial and read all of the following books, most recently the prosecuting attorney, Jeff Ashton's book "Imperfect Justice." I believe that Casey got away with murder and how the jury could not see that Casey was responsible for Caylee Anthony's death is beyond me. Although Casey will not spend her life in prison, I'm sure she will not have the beautiful life that she envisioned after her daughter's death.
Beyonce, true to her attention getting ways made the big announcement that she was pregnant by coyly rubbing her belly at the MTV Awards. Next she was photographed in a bikini with the belly bump on full display. Later though, she appeared on a talk show with a seemingly folding tummy bump where a baby should be. I watched the video and it really did look weird. It makes sense that Beyonce would fake it, but at the end of the day she'll pop out a baby that will someday be King or Queen of the empire that Beyonce and Jay Z have built.
Mariah Yeater came out last year with an outlandish claim that Justin Bieber is her baby's daddy. Not only is this impossible as Justin is actually a lesbian, everyone knows that Justin is not that stupid. A paternity test has been done with no results given thus far as a second test has been ordered. Stay tuned to the Maury Povich Show for updates.
Music's Biggest Loss: Amy Winehouse
In 2011 Amy joined the "27" club and followed all of the former famous artists that died at age 27, Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin just to name a couple. Tragically we watched Amy rise to the top and gloriously crash to the bottom. Everyone pretty much expected Amy to overdose someday and when she was found dead we all expected drugs to be the cause. The toxicology report was shocking when no drugs were found in her system and Amy appeared to die of an "unintended consequence" of accidental alcohol poisoning. Such a shame.
Earlier this year the Navy Seals took out Osama Bin Laden. While many were unconvinced that the nasty bastard was actually dead, I believe it. Although killing Bin Laden will not solve our problems with terrorism, hopefully it is a step in the right direction and has somewhat eased our fear of more terrorist attacks on our great country.
Well, that about sums up my take on what's happened this past year. I plan on sitting front and center right here and spewing my two cents on everything celebrity that comes my way in 2012. I hope everyone has a happy New Year, be safe and of course, don't drink and drive!
