Best of 2012: Top 10 Biggest Stories of the Year!


10. JUSTIN BIEBER AND SELENA GOMEZ SPLIT...THEN REUNITE?
Are they or aren't they? Usually a question reserved for couples who might be dating, but the duo known as Jelena broke up after two years together then, little more than a week later, seemed to have gotten back together once more.




9. MILEY CYRUS CUTS HER HAIR
Who knew a haircut could cause such chaos? The former Hannah Montana actress started an e-riot when she Instagrammed a picture of her bun getting chopped off, later debuting a controversial, bleached blonde pixie cut.


8. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE MARRIES JESSICA BIEL
The on-again, off-again pair made it official (and forever!) when they tied the knot at the Borgo Egnazia resort in the southern Italian city of Fasano, becoming arguably the wedding of the year and definitely the most anticipated one.


7. BLUE IVY CARTER IS BORN
After months of conspiracy whispers, rumors of diva-level hospital antics and some seriously fierce maternity ware, Beyoncé, along with husband Jay-Z, welcomed a daughter in January, the princess of hip-hop.


6. JENNIFER ANISTON AND ANGELINA JOLIE GET ENGAGED
Not to each other, lest you be confused. Mr. & Mrs. Smith themselves made it official when Brad Pitt put a ring on it in April. Just a few months later, Justin Theroux popped the question to his Wanderlust costar and Brad's ex-wife, Jen.


5. KATIE HOLMES DIVORCES TOM CRUISE
Somewhere, Oprah's couch is in mourning. Katie filed for (an unexpected) divorce from her Mission: Impossible husband in June, and the split was official shortly after in August, leaving plenty of time for Scientology theories galore.


4. DARK KNIGHT RISES TRAGEDY
The final installment in Christian Bale's Batman trilogy was one of year's most anticipated movie, but no one could have predicted that a gunman would open fire on a midnight screening in Aurora, Colo., killing 12 and injuring countless others.


3. WHITNEY HOUSTON DIES AT 48
It was a shock to the music industry and on Grammy weekend, no less. The legendary songstress died at the Beverly Hilton hotel as a result of accidental drowning, heart disease and cocaine use. She was, and is, missed by millions.


2. NAKED PICTURES OF ROYALS LEAKED
First, Prince Harry was snapped butt naked while partying in Vegas. Shortly after, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was photographed topless while vacationing in France. Katherine sued because of the photos, Harry just blushed.


1. KRISTEN STEWART CHEATS ON ROBERT PATTINSON
For the Breaking Dawn duo, forever seemed to end very abruptly. Bella Swan herself was caught with her Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, leaving K.Stew to plead for boyfriend R.Pattz's forgiveness. Which he gave.

Kate Middleton is fucking hot.

That's all I got. So sick of all these overblown stories.

Really? I don't know what it is about her face, but it just seems... harsh to me.

Could be the self-tanner or the bad panda eyeliner.

I think she'd look much better if her skin went to its natural color and someone taught her that applying eyeliner directly on your water line is a fast track to pinkeye.
teaaet 27th-Nov-2012 11:40 pm (UTC)
it is??? i always put it there, but not all the way across on the bottom
winter_lace 27th-Nov-2012 11:50 pm (UTC)
I hate the way she applies eyeliner. Eugh
blazinguns 28th-Nov-2012 12:40 am (UTC)
Hmm, I actually haven't seen her use eyeliner on her waterline regularly, instead she draws a really harsh, unblended line under the lower lashline.

lol Jessica/Justin, seriously? That bland milquetoast affair was only made newsworthy by their choice in "entertainment."
violue 27th-Nov-2012 11:37 pm (UTC)
omg I never see anyone using the word milquetoast, kudos to you

cabernet 27th-Nov-2012 11:54 pm (UTC)

And so the lists begin.

I <3 Senor Bale for seeing those kids though.
evett 27th-Nov-2012 11:41 pm (UTC)
MTE. Here comes the avalanche of list posts. Ending with a post about the best lists posted on ontd.
klutzy_girl 27th-Nov-2012 11:31 pm (UTC)
I don't understand why these best of 2012 articles are coming out already - We still have a month left!

i hope some awesome pop culture event occurs tomorrow and makes this list look foolish for not having it in
soldoutmatinee 28th-Nov-2012 05:12 am (UTC)
omg your icon <3
sarahvma 27th-Nov-2012 11:38 pm (UTC)
I'm the same, but I think it's just because time is moving so fast now that I'm in my 20s and it's scary.
winter_lace 27th-Nov-2012 11:55 pm (UTC)
Something huge needs to happen right before Christmas.
adlanth 28th-Nov-2012 12:14 am (UTC)
I think we're having a slightly shorter year this time round due to the end of the world.
lovepollution 28th-Nov-2012 01:24 am (UTC)
A big or surprising celebrity death and/or scandal always seems to fall within the last weeks of the year, just to piss these list makers off IMO.
larrylurker 27th-Nov-2012 11:31 pm (UTC)
lol at the naked picture of royals

that shit was lame
isthisdesire 27th-Nov-2012 11:32 pm (UTC)
I'll never forget how much life the Robstenisunbroken scandal gave me. I didn't even participate in the posts much and it still enthralled me.
r_a_black 28th-Nov-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
I knew so much about it and I had no shame in making it clear to my non-celebrity-gossip friends.
solestella 28th-Nov-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
It was the best. First I got to enjoy the desperate tears of the stans when the scandal broke and then the amazing bitter meltdown of the haters when he took her back. It was delicious.
mikee414 27th-Nov-2012 11:32 pm (UTC)
#1 is so fuckin' lame, and only people who are into that franchise is remotely interested in it... The general population shakes their head in disgust.

Whitney dying in Feb. was HUGE and should be #1

TomKat divorce should be #2
a_perfect_shade 27th-Nov-2012 11:35 pm (UTC)
the disgust is still interest tho...? lawd that scandal gave me life
mirlos 27th-Nov-2012 11:32 pm (UTC)
i really dont think the pictures of kate middleton was that big of a story
sarahvma 27th-Nov-2012 11:40 pm (UTC)
I think it depends where you are in the world. Might've been bigger in the UK than in North America.
winter_lace 27th-Nov-2012 11:56 pm (UTC)
I think it was kinda huge in Europe/the Commonwealth
rctshack 29th-Nov-2012 05:21 pm (UTC)
especially not bigger than Whitney Houston dying...
coquettes 27th-Nov-2012 11:32 pm (UTC)
I already knew what would be #1 without even clicking.
atomicdogmeat 27th-Nov-2012 11:32 pm (UTC)


NEVAR FORGET! Should be no. one.

Unparalleled dedication and that gif is too perfect.
thetxbelle 27th-Nov-2012 11:40 pm (UTC)
MTE nothing topped that stealth escape.
hippie_chick 27th-Nov-2012 11:55 pm (UTC)
Haha yes. I will forever associate the TomKat divorce with this .gif. ♥
6pennylane 27th-Nov-2012 11:58 pm (UTC)

whutness 28th-Nov-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
Was that this year?
Damn it seems like that was so long ago now.
popartpistol 28th-Nov-2012 03:01 am (UTC)
I loved all the super paranoid stoner ONTDers.
xliquidskiesx 27th-Nov-2012 11:33 pm (UTC)
the topless pics of kate middleton on #2? really? yes, there was some ~outrage~ but imo it was a pretty boring story and not that big of a deal.
noon 27th-Nov-2012 11:33 pm (UTC)
wtf who cares about the naked royals



omw that sounds like a band
winter_lace 27th-Nov-2012 11:57 pm (UTC)
Sounds like a brand of Condoms.
bodyline 27th-Nov-2012 11:34 pm (UTC)
The disappointment over Breaking Holmes '12 will never leave me.
mikee414 27th-Nov-2012 11:34 pm (UTC)
London Olympics should've been on this list!

between the gymnasts & swimmers, it deserved at least the #9 instead of Miley (like who REALLY gives a shit about her over the age of 20? embarrassed for those ppl.)
