It was the MTV VMAs. The night was supposed to belong to Britney as the recipient of the Video Vanguard Award. And then Beyonce’s baby came along and cockblocked everyone...with a mic drop.Please.I wanted to chest bump Jacek but he really doesn’t appreciate a great famewhore the way I do. Can you imagine the Year in Gossip without Watching Beyonce’s Throne? Dull. Full Story

THIS DRESS.Almost a year later and it’s not diminished how much I love it. We all did that night on a night of a lot of yelling. Because that’s what’s fun about award season right? Fighting with each other about what they’re wearing. I was at Duana’s. It was a full house. We’d been shouting the entire carpet. Full Story

If you can believe it, Katherine Heigl’s wasn’t the worst hair of the year. Almost...But then Elisabeth Moss took the Heigl and amplified the sh-tness of it. And this is what she gave us. Why don’t you take a minute, let the horror wash over you... SHE IS ONLY 29 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There is no pleasure in Moss’s hair failings. Full Story

His hands have apparently been a source of Twi-Hard obsession for some time now. Those losers have devoted pages and pages of online genital rubbing to what they consider the sexiness of his hands. I actually hadn’t noticed until...It was March 1. Vanity Fair’s April 2011 issue. With Robert Pattinson on the cover, you know, in his poet’s shirt and a hipster hat, just, like, hanging out with his favourite alligator over his shoulders, held there like an Hermes scarf by his delicate tea-pouring hands. Full Story

Remember when Charlie’s Angels made it on the air but Wonder Woman didn’t? I didn’t mind Charlie’s Angels because, well, my expectations weren’t really high. And I still think it was better than Pan Am, a pretender disguised as quality tv. Having said that, imagine how sh-t Wonder Woman must have been if NBC turned it down. Full Story

This is what started it all...At the beginning of June, photos were leaked online alleged to be of Blake Lively, allegedly stolen from her cell phone, allegedly sent to a mystery recipient. The leaker was a punk, promising more compromising shots, and thanking her for the “faps”. Click here Full Story

WHO CARES?On paper it was Great for Gossip:Beautiful actress, mystery sire, married director...We were made for this.But at the heart of the story: January Jones. F-cking Boring January Jones. January Jones who - ask Zach Galifianakis - is a giant bitch to begin with, which is normally a wonderful first ingredient for Good Gossip, couldn’t make me care about a story that was built for every gossip blog. Full Story

There’s short hair the way asstalky Heigl does it, and then there’s short hair on Evan Rachel Wood. Sometimes it’s just a haircut. Sometimes a haircut can be transformational. ERW’s haircut wasn’t just an aesthetic change, it seemed like it was a whole personality shift.No more Manson, no more doppelganging on Von Teese, no more fronting like it’s been a long, dark, 35 year old life. Full Story

Here’s the opposite of Scarjo and Sean Penn: one of my favourite hook ups of the year, aside from Blake Lively/Leonardo DiCaprio/Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds. With Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield I’m happy about them on a pure level, not just for gossip’s sake, although that’s great too, but in a fangirl sense where I just want them to be them, together, and so well matched and adorable. Full Story

Maybe not the worst, worst, worst hook-up of the year, but definitely down there. Down there for sure. It was around the Oscars. Word got out that they were hanging out. And then a TMZ photo confirmed it. Of the two of them at lunch, her foot between his legs as she was putting a fork in her mouth. Full Story

There are quite a few of you who get quite angry when I don’t gush hard enough about Catherine of William. Or point out how pragmatic and particular she has been about her royal ascent. If that’s you, please click to the next article. It’s better for you. You’ll only be pissy reading this. And I don’t want you to be pissy on a Friday. Full Story

Seems a good way to introduce the Best of 2011 feature. After all, it was the year Kate Middleton became a proper princess. When we all went Royal Wedding crazy. And they started selling out fascinators at the Walmart. There were SO many highlights from the event. And I just might decide to break them down in bests one by one. Full Story
