Celebrity breakdowns and comebacks, love triangles and teen pregnancy were the most covered entertainment stories.
What does it say about the state of American culture when unmarried mothers, troubled pop stars and celebrity divorces are dubbed the “hottest” stories of the year?
USA Today designated Britney Spears this year’s top celebrity after she earned the number one spot on its weekly Celebrity Heat Index 11 times during 2008 - a year in which she suffered a public breakdown, sought psychiatric help on two separate occasions, and still managed to release her new album, Circus. Britney also got the top spot in 2007.

Hollywood has ...
December 31, 2008 - 13:59 ET by SentryDanHollywood has values? Since when? There are some conservatives in Hollywood that have values, but the liberals in that town sure don't have any. The libs believe that husbands, wives and children are desposible commodities. Abortion, terrorism, and gay marriage are things that should be allowed without restriction.
God help save us from the liberals.
Remember folks, Freedom isn't Free. It was bought with the blood and sacrifice of the men and women who are serving and who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know.
You mean everyone doesn't
December 31, 2008 - 14:48 ET by thebutlerdiditYou mean everyone doesn't think Angelina/Brad are great role models?? I mean, cheating on your spouse, getting divorced, and adopting/birthing a half-dozen kids with your "partner." Originally they said they didn't need a piece of paper to say they were married, but now the story is they will marry when all gay people can marry. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. I read yesterday she was expecting again, please, please tell me that was a rumor! They will probably end up splitting up when one or the other of them decides to fall in love with one of their co-stars. My money is on her, she did hook up with most of them, male and female. Which reminds me, I like how her drug use, cutting, homosexuality, etc, are all forgotten now, and she is as pure as the driven snow. Britney is a light-weight compared to this.

Angelina
December 31, 2008 - 14:58 ET by WVDinoYou forgot this one.
Before she was really big. She won an award. She open mouth kissed her brother before going on stage. It was sickening.

Golden Globes
December 31, 2008 - 15:08 ET by WVDinoI think the award show was the Golden Globes. I think it was before she was dating Billy Bob and wearing a vial of his blood around her neck.
And here are the pictures
December 31, 2008 - 17:26 ET by shawn228Here are the pictures. Just a few weeks ago I got flack for saying Brad Pitt made the wrong choice.
I don't deny she has done lots of good for underprivlidged children, but this women is wacko.

Oh yes, I remember it well.
December 31, 2008 - 15:24 ET by thebutlerdiditOh yes, I remember it well. she was up for an award for "Girl, Interrupted." A disgusting film, IMO. She did open mouth/french? kiss her half brother James Haven. It was nasty. But, the vials of blood Ang and BB wore were par for the course, with her. Someone showed me a interview she did years ago, and she is drugged up in it, and the chick next to her is smoking dope. She talked about her cutting, love of knives, which I believe I read she has passed down to young Maddox. I think she said they were collecting them together, now. I thought, will she be passing down the cutting self idea, also? He's like 7! I may be wrong, but I think those kiddos will have some issues, hope not.
Holywood "Values"
December 31, 2008 - 21:24 ET by iveseenitallHollywood "Values" = money, nihilism, relativism, unbridled pleasure, hypocrisy,ignorance, immaturity, "liberalism". Same as MSM. Wonderful role models.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"
