My Top 10 for 2010

Collage by The Dirt Dishing Dame

After decking my halls with boughs of celebrity gossip, I decided it was time to pack it in the for year.

As a thank you to the celebrities who made this blog possible, I've compiled a list of my top 10 celeb contributions to the world of entertainment.

In true David Letterman fashion, let's begin the countdown (also see "bonus" section at the end):

10. Nicki Minaj. This woman makes having multiple personalities acceptable. Not to mention her "ill" rap skills and, of course, an ass that moves independent of her body. Bottoms up, girlfriend.

9. David Arquette. He recently admitted that he's been "drinking a lot" to get through his separation with Courtney Cox. I've been there, done that, as recently as last weekend to get over/under a man of my own. Thanks for showing solidarity, Davey.

8. The Back Up Plan. This movie, starring Jennifer Lopez, was forced upon me earlier this year by my BFF, Graham. I forced him to see "Valentine's Day" (my bad) in theaters so I owed him one. And I was pleasantly surprised! Who knew JLo could actually be a good actress? My faith is renewed.

7. Lindsay Lohan. Dear Lindsay, thank you for teaching me everything NOT to do in life. Every time I paint "F U" on my fingernails, I will raise my martini in your honor. Tell Betty Ford I said hey girl hey.

6. Charlie Sheen's Hotel Meltdown. Dear Charlie, thank you for being the anti-Lindsay. You've taught us that, unlike Lindsay, sometimes it's OK to go on drug binges, lock porn stars in the closet and still go back to work the next week. Let me know where you're partying for the New Year because it's bound to be a night to remember/forget.

5. Brangelina. They didn't add any kids to their brood this year but they kept it hot and spicy on the red carpet. I've never been so torn before - I would give anything to be their lover on the side and/or be adopted as their seventh child. Maybe a little bit from column A and B? I'll keep you posted.

4. Glee. While season 2 hasn't been as consistently good as season 1, I take my hat off to this show. The songs are great, the plot is timely and moving, and once I found out Darren Criss (Blaine) was straight in real life, I lost my sh!t. I still can't watch the Teenage Dream video or the Glee wedding episode without crying (tears of joy).

3. Whip My Hair by Willow Smith. This 10 year old girl rocks my world. Enough said.

2. Ellen Degeneres. Not only is this woman ridiculously funny and generous, but she and her staff flew me out to LA to make a complete ass of myself on national TV. My love for this woman knows no bounds. Watch out, Portia!

1. Betty White. This woman has made it OK to be an 88 year old cougar. If I grow up to be like her, I can officially call my life a success. Watch out, Robert Redford!

BONUS: The Dirt Dishing Dame's 2010 "Best's"

Best career comeback: Eminem.
I thought he was a goner after the "Relapse" album. But "Recovery" has me shaking my a$$ and crying at the same time when I hear one of his deeply personal rap ballads. I'm not afraid either, Emmy.

Best new artist: Justin Bieber.
I am the first to admit that my obsession with this 16-year-old is entirely unhealthy. Nevertheless, I will show this guy a whole new world if given the opportunity. JBiebs - when U Smile, I smile.


Best wedding: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green.
As dysfunctional as these two are, they certainly did their Hawaiian wedding up right. I think they'll be in love for at least the next three weeks.

Best "relationship": Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent.
Handler keeps the laughs coming whenever she mentions her dark chocolate popsicle on the show.

Best break up: Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.
I know you would have assumed ScarJo and Ry Ry, but enough was enough with Zefron. You can do SO much better than Vanessa. And once you meet me, you'll know that for sure :-)


That's all she wrote. I'm retiring until 2011 unless Lindsay decides to go on a bisexual bender before January 1...

Happy holidays, everyone!!
