2008 Brought us new music, movies , stars , babies, trends , and games , here is the final salute to the one year I would live over again 2008 :)
Movies - The Dark Night- made over 500 million here in the states and 921 million worldwide, success was bittersweet as the films star Heath Ledger passed away in January , his legacy lives on as the actor is nominated for an Oscar this year for his role.
Iron Man- brought Robert Downey Jr. back into the top movie spots with the film earning over 318 million dollars worldwide.
Twilight - The vampire-teen saga that started in books in 2003 hit the big screen and bit everyone one who saw it grossing in over 69 million dollars the movie brought us fresh faces Robert Pattinson , Kristin Stewart and Taylor Lautner.
High School Musical 3- The highschoolers were back this year and ready to graduate , Troy , Sharpay, Ryan ,and Gabriella sung and danced their way to the top of the charts earning over 89 million dollars what a nice sum to end on , JSYK- The high school is actually filmed at Murray High School in Utah:)
Top Stories -
The Writers Strike- Started in November 5, 07 - February 12 08, it put all major TV. shows on hiatus and even put some off the air though some stars like Katherine Heigl and America Fererra supported the cause picketing with the writers and staff.
President Elect Barack Obama - after what seemed like 2 years of campaigning Barrack Obama was elected our president on November 4, 2008 , with supporters from major stars like Oprah, George Clooney, Scarlett Johanson , and others like Kim Kardashian and Chelsea Handler, Obama made history becoming the 1st African American President.
The Crappy Economy- The Economy started to fall in late October of 08 and brought stocks down at a historic low causing people to lose homes, assets , and money ,but we can hope for better days ahead.
Gas Prices- They had a roller coaster ride this year starting out high in early 08 and dropping to under $2.00 in October of 08 at least that's one good thing.
Music Stars-
Katy Perry- The former gospel singer from Santa Barbara , Kissed a Girl and She Liked it, the 24 year old beauty had her hit plastered
at #1 on the Billboard Charts in June she has since popped out hits
like Hot N' Cold and Thinking Of You.
Leona Lewis- The British Songstress who kicked ass on the X-Factor in the UK , wiped out stars like Rihanna and Beyonce with her hit Bleeding Love that was #1 everywhere you turned the love song got to everyone and it was on everyone's Ipod. Leona since then released Better in Time and will release I Will Be in 2009.
David Archuleta & David Cook - This list would not be complete without them they are my life now and I fully devote myself to that lol. The two cuties from American Idol stole the hearts of girls(and some boys ahem) with one's rocker attitude and the other's sweet boyish charm . Archuleta released Crush on August 22nd and it quickly went to number to on the Billboard Charts becoming the highest entry on the charts for an AI artist. Cook released Light On in September and peaked at number 8 on Billboard
both Dsqaured's albums though landed at #2(Archie) and #3 (Cookie).

Going Green and Saving the Planet- Everyone from Target to Marc Jacobs went green this year with canvas bags to do all your shopping , instead of bad for the environment plastic bags, cars like the weird lil Smart Car and Toyota's Prius went up in sales and telethon's like Stand Up 2 Cancer which featured the world's hottest female artist's performing together for the first time ever the song "Just Stand Up"
Ray Ban- Wayfarers- Everyone wore them Zac Efron , Ashley Tisdale , Lindsay Lohan , Justin Timberlake, Ryan Seacrest everyone in the Beverly Center and me , and they are here to stay for 09' they better I have two pairs!
Britney Spears- She may have had the biggest fall but she also had the biggest comeback, from shaving her head dating at paparazzi,driving with a kid on her lap to hits like "Womanizer" and "Circus" , Britney is back , we missed you girl:)
