2011 was full of a terrible celebrity solipsism played out on a giant stage. Sure, some of it was entertaining– Alec Baldwin‘s Words with Friends incident, for instance, or the national train wreck of Charlie Sheen (first half of the meltdown only)–but for the most part, our enabling of famous people to act like literally the worst people in the world resulted in only tears, annoyance, and the Kardashian wedding.
This year we’re hoping to cut these public spectacles off at the pass by predicting which celebrities going to make a desperate bid for attention and why. Hopefully by identifying these people early enough, we’ll be able to begin ignoring them before they start flashing their crotch when exiting limos.
