Celebrity of the Year Finalist #4: The Jersey Shore Cast!
With 2010 drawing to a close, it is with much pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, Fourth Annual Celebrity of the Year award.These stars all gave us their best, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness.
After the Kardashians kame in at #5, we present an even more useless group as our Celebrity of the Year finalist #4 ... the Jersey Shore cast!
Love 'em or hate 'em, they left their mark in 2010.
We know. They are idiots. You can spare the "what a bunch of losers with no future and bad values" bit, because we f*%king know. Maybe that's the appeal.You can argue how undeserving they are of fame and fortune all day long, and you won't be wrong. But doesn't that apply to many "celebrities" nowadays?
In terms of raw impact on popular culture, few have had the impact of this gang of guidos and guidettes, who rose from obscurity to household names.
Say what you will about this talentless, attention-starved crew - and, Lord knows, we will until they finally go away - but Jersey Shore's success can't be denied.
Like the Kardashians, Snooki, JWoww and The Situation embody the celebrity gossip culture of the 2000s. And to top it off, they can actually be pretty funny.More Jersey Shore quotes have become part of the lexicon this year than we can even count (or like to admit). Snooki was the year's top Halloween costume.
You may hate them, but it's a love-to-hate kind of hate.
At least to some degree, they are in on the joke at this point. They are getting paid to party and sleep around, which they would do anyway, and loving life.
Hilarious, depressing and astounding at the same time, five million people tune in to watch their over-the-top antics because, deep down, we can all relate.
Maybe not to cat fights, stints behind bars or the constant threat of STDs, but to crashing with our friends, cracking jokes, and living it up as young adults.
With a new season kicking off next month (check out the Season 3 trailer), here's a tribute to some of the year's top moments provided by these characters:
Lindsay Lohan's Rehab Run-In Update
As the story continues to unfold, it is now being reported that Lindsay Lohan is claiming a female staffer at the Betty Ford Clinic used physical force against her.According to sources, the “Labor Pains” actress’ father, Michael, told that his daughter was “10 minutes late for her curfew” and a female technician “grabbed her” and “got forceful,” to which Linds responded, “Don’t put your hands on me!” and physically brushed her off.
Furthermore, Michael said the tech wanted Lindsay and her two roommates to take a drug test.
All three were screened for drugs and alcohol and “all tested negative,” Michael revealed to press.
Bret Michaels and Kristi Gibson: On Cloud Nine
Having fought through deadly medical issues of the past year, Bret Michaels is on cloud nine to be healthy and ready to walk down the aisle with fiance Kristi Gibson.Having proposed on the season finale of his VH1 show on Monday night, the former Poison frontman told People magazine, "They swore I was the guy who would never... And it feels awesome."
The 47-year-old musician was first expected to ask for his lady's hand in marriage the previous night during their 16th anniversary dinner at Mastro's, but decided otherwise.
Bret dished, "I wasn't ready there because I felt really strange. It would've been like, I'm in the middle of proposing and oh, by the way, there's a Cobb salad."
Also overjoyed is the bride-to-be, Miss Gibson, as she told People, "I love him for him. I've been through everything with him. A ring and a paper wouldn't make me love him more. I'm just happy he's alive."
The soon-to-be 40-year-old added, "But this is the best birthday and Christmas present ever. We'll be virgins stepping into the whole engagement and marriage thing. And with our girls growing up, we'll all have the same last name."

Lindsay Lohan moved to an undisclosed location after fight at Betty Ford Center
Update: Lindsay Lohan could end up spending six months in jail over her recent physical altercation with a staffer at the Betty Ford Clinic, TMZ has learned. We couldn't let 2010 end without a good Lindsay Lohan story. The last one we reported was that the role of Linda Lovelace would not be in the stars for Lilo.
Now Radar Online is reporting that Lindsay Lohan has been moved to an undisclosed area after a fight with rehab staffer at the Betty Ford Center.
According to the celebrity gossip site, "The staffer reprimanded the star after she returned late to the center one night. Lindsay was confronted by a technician after returning 10 minutes late. She was forced to undergo and drug and alcohol test, which she passed, but that was not the end of the matter."
According to Radar Online's source, the clash was a big deal: "Lindsay was moved to another location to remove her from a potentially hostile environment."
Have a great 2011, Lindsay.
Nicki Minaj Sex Tape: In Existence?
I made a conscious decision to try to tone down the sexiness, I want people, especially young girls, to know that in life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You’ve got to have something else to go with that.Might these words prove ironic for Nicki Minaj?
The rapper is the latest celebrity at the center of a sex tape scandal, as The Boom Box claims the video was filmed prior to Minaj hitting it big and that it's being hawked for $100,000.
No words yet out of the rapper's camp.
Earlier this week, word spread of a Demi Lovato sex tape, but that was quickly shot down by the singer's rep. We'll keep you apprised of any reaction, or videotaped pounding, from Nicki.
Celebrity of the Year Finalist #5: The Kardashian Klan!
With 2010 drawing to a close, it is with much pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, Fourth Annual Celebrity of the Year award.
These stars all gave us their best, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness.
After Charlie Sheen checked in at #6 with his disturbing list of drug-fueld antics and attacks, we present Celebrity of the Year finalist #5 ... All of the Kardashians!

We can't choose just one sibling, after all. By having babies, constantly talking about their weight and placing their name on any product, Khloe, Kourtney and Kim all made headline after headline in 2010.
Heck, youngsters Kylie and Kendall Jenner even got in on the act.
Say what you will about this talentless, attention-starved family - and, Lord knows, THG often does! - but the success and the popularity of the Kardashians cannot be denied.
Kardashian Konfiential hit number-four on The New York Times Bestsellers' list in its first week of release; the sisters have close to 10 million Twitter followers; and, get this, Kris Jenner herself has 504,157 people reading her Tweets at last check.
In related news, there are 504,157 people on the planet that really need to get a life.
And therein lies the mystery and appeal of the Kardashians. They epitomize the celebrity gossip culture of the 2000s. Paris Hilton started it and then Speidi milked it like crazy for a few months.
But only Kim, Khloe and kompany have managed to remain major names - hosting Las Vegas parties, appearing on late-night talk shows, writing books, posing naked A LOT - without actually accomplishing a single noteworthy item.
No Kardashian recorded an album, starred in a movie, headlined a non-reality show, went on tour or earned a single, respectable award in 2010. Yet major publications created articles out of mere blog posts made by these siblings. Kim earned over $6 million on her own in the last 12 months.
It's both depressing and astounding, and it's all enough to warrant the entertainment world's most shameless family a spot in our year-end countdown. Or, for one time only, we should say: kountdown.

Lady Gaga, Katy Perry React To ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Repeal
Ellen DeGeneres, Pink and more celebrate historic Senate vote on Twitter.By Mawuse Ziegbe

The armed forces’ controversial “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy will soon be history.
On Saturday (December 18), the Senate voted to repeal the 17-year-old measure that bars openly gay men and women from serving in the military. The bill passed by a 65-31 margin, according to CNN, which included eight republicans and one independent who joined the Democrat-backed initiative. President Obama will sign the bill into law next week.
“Today, the Senate has taken an historic step toward ending a policy that undermines our national security while violating the very ideals that our brave men and women in uniform risk their lives to defend. By ending ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ no longer will our nation be denied the service of thousands of patriotic Americans forced to leave the military, despite years of exemplary performance, because they happen to be gay. And no longer will many thousands more be asked to live a lie in order to serve the country they love,” the president said in a statement.
Calls to dismantle the policy ramped up this year with stars such as Lady Gaga decrying the measure and demonstrations cropping up around the nation. On Wednesday, the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who had been crusading to end the policy, tweeted to Gaga after the vote, “We did it! #DADT is a thing of the past.”
Gaga, who arrived at the 2010 MTV VMAs with openly gay service members who had been discharged or left the military due to the policy, made viral videos and spoke at a September rally calling for the end of DADT, tweeted about her emotional reaction to the vote.
“Can’t hold back the tears+pride. We did it!i Our voice was heard + today the Senate REPEALED DADT. A triumph for equality after 17 YEARS,” she wrote.
Openly gay talk-show queen Ellen DeGeneres tweeted, “Thank you Senators for pushing us one step closer towards full equality.”
Katy Perry showed her support for the repeal of DADT by responding to a missive that fellow songstress Pink retweeted.
“SUPPORTING ALL OUR TROOPS!” Perry added to Pink’s retweet, “RT @Pink: Congrats 2 US!!! REPEAL of DADT & 17 years of allowing Human Rights Violations. There’s hope after all!”
Former army lieutenant and gay-rights activist Dan Choi, who has called for an end to the policy since he was discharged from service after publicly coming out in 2009, also gave his take on the vote.
“Thank you, Democrats, for your leadership,” he tweeted. “There: I said it. Also, thank you 8 Republicans. You’re on the right side of history.”
MTV News also caught up with student Bridget Todd, who once questioned President Obama about DADT during the commander-in-chief’s “A Conversation with President Obama” forum in October. Although Todd said she was skeptical of the president’s commitment to ending the policy after the Obama administration asked for stay blocking a judge’s ruling that the measure is unconstitutional, she said the Senate vote has restored some of her faith in the U.S. leader.
“I think it’s fantastic. I’m over the moon about it,” Todd said. “It’s sort of strange that it’s 2010 and we’re dealing with this so I’m happy that it’s done, I’m happy that it’s gonna be over with.
“I think I said that he displayed an alleged commitment to gay equality,” she continued. “I think that this sort of proves that perhaps he is actually committed to these issues. They’re not just sort of political talking points that you use to get elected — that this is something that he is willing to make happen.”

Christina Aguilera Blames Racy Picture Leak on Hacker
Christina Aguilera has removed any doubt as to the authenticity of those pictures that leaked of her yesterday where she’s mostly naked and all bruised up like one of Chris Brown’s girlfriends. Yes, Christina has admitted, that’s her. But, according to Christina, those pictures were never meant for public consumption. Those pictures were supposed to remain private but some asshole hacked into her stylist’s computer and stole them. Probably it was one of those pro-Wikileaks hackers who have been going around attacking credit card companies and Sarah Palin. They’re after Christina too because…because…of her boobies. And because she’s so much better than Lady Gaga but nobody will admit it. So there.
