New Years Eve Update From The Tower Of T!

While all my lovely lady friends who are in town are on mimosas and shopping in Soho, I'm trapped up in the Tower of T, watching the clock tick.  This is not a total loss because the news is filled with 2010 lists. And lists, are my all time fav.

Lets get started.

NYT - top 110 things New Yorkers talked about in 2010.  Here are the top ten:



1. Bedbugs.
2. Pee-wee Herman’s comeback.
3. Larry King’s farewell.
4. The best campaign slogan of 2010: “I am not a witch.”
5. Ricky Martin comes out.
6. Steven Slater wigs out.
7. Four Loko, R.I.P.
8. Justin Bieber gets a new haircut.
9. There is no justice: Mondo loses to Gretchen on “Project Runway.”
10. Well, maybe there is: Bristol Palin finally is ousted on “Dancing With the Stars.”

Bedbugs for me were 2008 (scare at 918 Lorimer followed by negative Harvard Lab test results. phew).  The rest I didn't talk about except for Four Loko and even that rarely crossed my lips except occasionally when I would scream at Chris and tell him not to drink it (it makes his voice really high).


Thanks Jezebel, for the top 10 biggest celebrity stories of 2010:



1. Lindsay Lohan cried in court, went to jail, and then to rehab.

2. Wyclef Jean and Sean Penn battled over who had done what in Haiti following the devastating earthquake. Wyclef wanted to be president… but then withdrew from the race.

3. Michael Douglas was diagnosed with throat cancer, and became the subject of a Star magazine death watch. He currently seems to be doing quite well

4. In an audio tape, Mel Gibson ranted to his ladyfriend: "You look like a fucking pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of niggers, it will be your fault." He also called Winona Ryder an oven-dodger. So: Racist, aniti-semitic, abusive asshole. Got it.

5. Charlie Sheen was either drunk and naked or coked up and pantsless. Either way, there was an "escort" involved.

6. Taylor Swift released her album, which included a song called "Dear John." It seemed to be about her relationship with John "The Player" Mayer, with lyrics like: It was wrong/Don't you think nineteen's too young/To be played…

7. Prince William and Kate Middleton got engaged; copy-cat rings suddenly materialized.

8. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt started dressing like a tomboy, got a haircut and all hell broke loose. Even GLAAD weighed in. (Angelina, on the defensive, had to explain that Shiloh "begged" to have her hair cut short.)

9. Sandra Bullock's husband was revealed to be a liar, a cheater and a possible Nazi enthusiast.

10.  Last, but not least: Sandra Bullock bounced back with a secret baby. Yes, the woman who played a white lady who brought a black youth into her home became a white lady who brought a black youth into her home. All's well that ends well!

Lets see here, I guess I relate mostly to the Shiloh story because I too thought I was a boy basically  until I went through puberty.  So I get that confusion.  Annnnnnd.  Charlie Sheen will always be a beacon in the dark, dark night.

I hate Taylor Swift.

Moving onward and upward!

MTV gave us the top ten songs.  Spoiler alert: I am SO SATISFIED with the number one pick:


10. Lady Gaga "Telephone"

9.  Eminem "Love The Way You Lie"

8. Jay Z "On To The Next One"

7. Drake "Fancy"

6. Robyn "Dancing On My Own"

5. Cee Lo Green "F--- You"

4. Rick Ross "BMF"

3. Kanye West "Power"

2. Kanye West "Runaway"

1. USHER 'OMG'

I'm sure many of you are disappointed that Party In The USA isn't on there, but cant imagine any other song being number one.  This song makes me freak out.  And its really fun to dance to because its like three songs in one: drum circle, trance and R&B classic.  Also, come on - first song based around an abrev, beautiful.

I need to get out of here.  See you tonight, 2011.
