1. The Royal Wedding: William and Kate's wedding was my favorite event of the year. I'll never forget watching Prince William and Prince Harry's sleek black car leave Bukingham Palace and head towards the West Minister Abby church. Kate showed up in a gown that will be remembered and mimicked for generations. As she exited the car all eyes were on Pippa though, and her perfect european figure. I woke up at 4 a.m. on April 11th to witness true love at work. It was the stuff of fairytales.
2. Kim and Kris's wedding : We all waited and watched to see the wedding of our favorite reality television star. We spent all year watching Kim on Kim and Kourtney Take New York. She was looking for love and found it. He came as a tall, dark, and handsome NBA player. Kim was living the dream. Kim wore three absolutely gorgeous Vera Wang gowns. The details in the reception were exquisite, and everyone was all smiles. It looked perfect...till it ended 72 days later. Poor Kim.
3. Justin and Selena were the power couple that took over the world. Justin started the year off the bang with his movie and matching soundtrack: Never Say Never. Never Say Never became the best selling concert movie of all time. Selena released her album We Own The Night and classified herself as a new artist. They both went on tour all over the world and hit up every beach along the way. It wasn't all happy moments: Selena's mother miscarried what was supposed to be her first sibling, Justin was so swarmed by paparazzi he couldn't enjoy the holy land, and let's not forget the women who claimed to father Justin's child. Despite all the bad, they still smooched at every award show and showed the world they were unbreakable.
4. Some things came to an end. Oprah ended after 25 seasons as the number one talk show on television. She ended with a bang and all the celebrity community came out and supported her show. Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows pt. 2 was amazing. It was the last of the series that I grew up with. I read every book and saw every moment, but watching Harry all grown up was surly a movie I will never forget.
5. Charlie Sheen lost his place on his hit show (My dad's favorite) Two and A Half Men. He got a million followers in one day and was seen on every news station completely drunk and drugged up. He left all of us saying "Winning" after ever great thing that happened.
6. Arnold Swartzenager pulled the classic story of the "happily married rich men" screwing the maid and fathering a child. It only took him 10 years to fess up to his poor wife Maria Shriver (a decsendant of the Kennedy family). Being the strong women she is she walked about and didn't shed a tear (on television anyways).
7. We lost some great stars: Amy Winehouse suffered joined the 27 club when she passed away in her home from alcohol related issues. Dame Elizabeth Taylor left us as well due to health complications and old names. Steve Jobs who created all the cool gadgets we adored in 2011 (iPods, iPads, iPhones)lost his battle with cancer. All three household names are gone but never forgotten.
8. Chris Brown finally made his comeback after the mishap with Rihanba. His album F.A.M.E. (Fans are my everything) debued at number one and I didn't have to feel guilty about listening to his music anymore. We also found out he looks cute as a blond. There was a little drama when Robin fron the Today Show interviewed him and asked him about "Rihanna". He responded by discontinuing the interview, throwing a chair threw the glass window, and walking around Time Square with his shirt off. Hey...no one said he was perfect.
9. Rebecca Black. Do I really need to say more? This girl trended on twitter for like a week straight. Her auto-tuned voice and weird pronunciations changed the world. FRY-DEYS (fridays) will never be the same. Don't forget that saturday comes after friday and before sunday. My favorite line was, "Gotta have a bowl, gotta have cereal"
10. Everyone took pictures planking in the weirdest possible places. There was a drama about how planking originated from the slavery days but it didn't stop it from being everywhere. My personal favorite planking pair: Justin Bieber and Diggy Simmons
11. Demi Lovato got out of rehab and came back better then ever. She released my favorite of her albums Unbroken. She shared her struggles with the public in an effort to show the teens of America that it's okay to be proud of who you are and love your imperfections. She made sure everyone knew "Curves are Sexy" and "Sober is Sexy", and "Love is louder then the pressure to be perfect". She tattooed Stay Strong on her wrists as inspiration to herself and it became the anthems of lovotics everywhere. I'm proud of her accomplishments.
12. The NBA lockout: You can't forget all of us feeling bad for the poor, unemployed millionares who quit playing because they didn't feel like they were making enough. I was just having a hater moment, I was on the side of the players. The NBA workers are making millions of dollars off the players talent and there is no NBA without then men who work so hard. They also sacrifice time with their families and their physical health by playing the game. I believe anyone who has extraordinary talent should earn what they deserve. Eventually a deal was struck and the boys started playing again Christmas Day.
