Best and Worst of 2007
By AprillBrandon in Pop Goes the Culture
December 18, 2007

Oh, 2007, we will miss you. You've given us so many wonder things the past 365 days (give or take a couple). I mean, without you, we would have never met the wonder that is American Idol loser Sanjaya. Or been exposed to Britney Spear's nether regions (insert simultaneous group shudder here). Oh, without you 2007, we would have never uttered this year's most disturbing buzz word for a female anatomy part: "Vajajay."

But now that you are winding down, it's time to look back at all the best and worst you had to offer, 2007. And so, here are my nominees:

Celebrity Most Likely to Lose it All: This going to be a close one between Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan and good, 'ol Britney (nominees David Hasselhoff and Michael Richards were disqualified considering no one really cares if they lose it all) All of these lovely ladies are a horrific train wreck that you just can't stop looking at. It's going to be a close call.

Most Annoying Person: Again, another tough category considering the wealth of choices. And the nominees are: Larry Birkhead, Donald Trump, Tyra Banks and Sanjaya's hair.

Most Over-hyped Gadget: It's a neck and neck race between the iPhone and the Nintendo Wii. Unless they start making Julian fries, I'm sooo over hearing about them.

Celebrity Who Just Won't Go Away: These guys are worse then most STD's. They just keep coming back. And the nominees are: Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lauren Conrad of MTV's "The Hills."

 Worst movies of 2007 (nominated by Advocate reporter and movie guru Bj Lewis): "Delta Farce," "Spiderman 3," and "Underdog." (And please, whatever you do, do not ask Bj why he nominated "Spiderman 3." Fifteen minutes later, you'll wish you were dead and never want to hear the words "Sam Raimi" again).

Worst Reality TV Show: These are the kind of shows you watch and then envy the people in that "Hostel" movie who were tortured because at least through their immense pain, they couldn't concentrate on watching someone sucking on New York's toes. And the nominees are: "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila (a.k.a. Misshapen Forehead Girl from Myspace)," "I Love New York II," and "Celebrity Rap Superstar."

Feel free to cast your votes or suggest other categories as we say goodbye to 2007.

    Spiderman 3 is the best movie ever made. Unlike Bj, I do not need page upon page to explain my stance. I only need two words to explain why this is the most awesome-fied movie in the history of forever: TALKING DIRT.
    Also, am I the only person that gets the words Sanjaya and vajajay mixed up?

    I think the iphone was the most over-hyped gadget....
    I won't go into my reasons for bagging on Spidey as I simply do not want to spend that much time typing. And God help me I don't understand this Tila Tequila stuff. That woman has no redeeming value whatsoever. For some un-Godly reason she has a million friends on Myspace and she winds up with a reality TV show.  It's on MTV so that says something, I mean MTV has not put any worthwhile programming out since...I don't know....1998?
    My ears haven't stopped bleeding listening to all this stuff about Britney and Lindsay and Nikki and Paris-y. I wish they would all stumble down a deep dark well. I say we lure them there with the promise of them finding the one thing that could turn their sorry excuse for careers around.
    As long as they don't breed (I guess we're too late for Britney...Oops she did it again....Spears), we should be okay.
