Hello and a happy 2009 lovely people!
So, you all want to know what's been hot and not for 2008?! Of course you do...why else would you be here! So here it goes, and before I proceed I want to only see more drama, cat fights and unlikely hookups for 2009...and then-some! Whooo!
First off, we saw a baby boom in Hollywood this past year...everybody was popping babies out-and there was especially a trend in twins. The most anticipated baby or babies I should say the world was waiting for, was the arrival of Brangelina's twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon on July 12th. The most shocking...CLAY AIKEN!! Who then "surprisingly" came out of the closet with the birth of his son Parker on August 8th. Ex-wild party girl Nicole Ritchie and boyfriend Joel Madden welcomed the world to their first child, daughter Harlow Winter Kate on January 11th, in which to everyone's surprise...Ritchie is actually a good mother and has become a homebody...awww!

With marriage comes breakups...with breakups comes drama...with drama you get Madonna.
Madonna and husband of 8 years Guy Ritchie decided that 2008 was a year for them to call it quits...but not so quietly. Hello!!! This is Madonna! The divorce settled out of court where Guy ended up with a little over 90 million dollars from Madge, where the kids will be living part time with the material mom in New York and the British director in England. Was I the only one that thought the marriage would last?! Apparently A-Rod didn't think so *wink* *wink*
Other breakups
Anne Hathaway & Raffaello Follieri (he's a fraud and is currently in prison)
David Duchovny & Tea Leoni (he's a sex addict)
Pink & Carey Hart (they are actually still BFF's after the amicable split)
Al Reynolds& Star Jones (he's an attention seeking golddigger)
Liv Tyler & Royston Langdon (he's a rocker...what more can I say)
Marsha & Robin Williams (ummm...she realized it was Robin Williams)
George Clooney & Sarah Larson (HELLO? It's George Clooney!)
Shania Twain & Robert "Mut" Lange (he's a little prick that cheated on her with her BFF)
Holly & Hugh Heffner (umm...she realized he's old!!)

2008 was also a year for many good-byes, the 3 biggest losses of 2008 to Hollywood were:
#3.) Bernie Mac
#2.) Paul Newman

Jennifer Hudson went through the unimaginable family tragedy where her mother, brother and nephew were brutally murdered. They will all be dearly missed.
2008...officially the year of the comebacks...yup you guessed it, I'm talking about NKOTB and Britney Spears. 2008 was a year of hardships and turmoils for Spears. However; after a few hospitalizations, the pop princess reigns once again! GO BRITNEY! I'll see you in Vancouver in April! NKOTB...all I have to say is these guys killed it at their reunion concert in Vancouver on November 21st...I have never seen so much stamina from 5 guys in their 40's dancing around singing "Hangin' Tough".
With the economy going down the drain, and the corruption on Wall Street blah blah blah...the people of the United States of America voted for a change in November. Goodbye Bush...hello Mr.Barack Obama! Great job Americans...great job!
Fashion you ask? All I'm going to say is that the biggest 2008 FAD has to be the hippie head band...do you hear me Nicole Ritchie! No to the hippie head band!
My favourite movie/album/tv show in 2008 had to have been and I know most of you agree with me...and if you don't well, nothing can beat these...nothing...that's why most of you will agree *drum roll*
The Dark Knight, Madonna: Sticky and Sweet and....THE RETURN OF 90210!!!!!
