Starting Off the New Year...Right?

2012 is here and it's already brought (somewhat) shocking celeb news for all mini-DishingDivas to enjoy! Here are just a few nuggets that made me go "hmm...."

1. Russell Brand becomes Katy Perry's "One That Got Away"

Call me crazy, but I thought these kids could actually work (at least for longer than 14 months). They were just quirky and amusing enough to bypass the Hollywood BS and meditate their way into blissful matrimony.

But alas, Russell filed for divorce just before the new year citing the cliche of irreconcilable differences. Apparently he's just too hot n cold about California gurls (I couldn't resist).

2. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are still together

Of all the Hollywood couples who should have declared a divorce by now, it's these two. But as Nick Cannon's recent kidney failure has demonstrated, nothing can tear these two crazy kids apart. Not even their two crazy twins, who are bound to become strippers when they grow up.

3. The Kardashians are breeding again

Until we get this family spayed and neutered, the world as we know it will never be safe. Someone out in the universe thought it was a good idea for Kourtney K. to get sperminated again. I'm not saying this new child is the Antichrist, but...

OK. Antichrist it is. #churchbound

4. Vampires are still relevant

Tonight is the mid-season return of The Vampire Diaries on the CW. If you know me at all, you know my love for vampires knows no limit. But if you're still not convinced as to why I love this show, please see exhibit A to my left.

(<--- HOTTT)

To add to vampires' relevancy in 2012, the latest installment of "Underworld" is being released in just a couple of weeks. Hot vampires + lots of naked screen time = a happy 2012 for us all (but especially me).


5. Justin Bieber turns 18

Speaking of hot - my jailbait lover, Justin Bieber, becomes legal in just under two months (one month and 26 days to be exact, but who's counting? Besides me and Selena Gomez...) I'm really looking forward to not going to prison.

2011 was one of the best years on record, not just for me but for celebrity news as a whole (Charlie Sheen #winning, JBiebs not the baby daddy but Arnold is, Ryan Gosling naked most of the time...)

But I'm going out on a limb to say 2012 will top it. I'm also going one step further to say, "Mayan calendar be damned(!)", we're going to make it to 2013.

And if we don't, you won't be able to call me on it 'cuz we'll all be dead.

NOW, how do we stop this Justin Timberlake/Jessica Biel wedding from happening?? Discuss.
