NEW YORK (AP) â€" Sure, we had wars, healthy disasters, a flourishing populist transformation and a presidential competition heating up, not to discuss a deaths of a record icon, a silver-screen enchantress and a integrate of murky dictators.
But in a burble that is a renouned culture, a universe in that luminary is totalled not by power, change or square yet by Twitter followers, YouTube hits and ubiquitous expenditure of cyberspace, we can announce dual 2011 winners: a promenade aristocrat and black of cocktail culture, if we will.
Not that Charlie Sheen and Kim Kardashian are indeed a integrate â€" if they are, we missed that, nonetheless hey, we hear she's not married anymore. But together, they sucked adult so many attention, for improved or for worse, that they're a selected guides for a sixth annual, rarely resourceful tour behind by a year's Pop Culture Moments:
___
JANUARY:
You know you're in for a severe year if you're already a boundary of Ricky Gervais' jokes during a Golden Globes. For CHARLIE SHEEN, a year starts with his disorderly personal life already underneath a spotlight. As a month ends he's in rehab, with his strike show, "Two and a Half Men," on hold. Meanwhile 3 sisters named KARDASHIAN â€" Kim, Khloe and Kourtney â€" are sued by a credit label association after pulling their publicity for a Kardashian Kard, pilloried for a high fees.
FEBRUARY:
A singular American intrigue takes a touching spin when wanderer MARK KELLY announces he will launch into space, quickly withdrawal his wife, bleeding congressman GABRIELLE GIFFORDS, on Earth. At a Oscars, a importance on "young and hip" bombs, with hosts JAMES FRANCO and ANNE HATHAWAY descending brief and a throng entertaining extravagantly for comedian BILLY CRYSTAL (and theory who's hosting in 2012?) But for SHEEN, things get unequivocally bad. The actor's violence-tinged, anti-Semitic radio diatribe is finally adequate for CBS and Warner Bros., who close down a uncover for a deteriorate (funny how that happens when we call your writer a "contaminated small maggot.")
MARCH:
"Friday," an amateurish, many mocked yet strangely addictive strain by 13-year-old REBECCA BLACK, is expelled as a single. Screen idol ELIZABETH TAYLOR dies, withdrawal behind a mythological career â€" and a final tweet, compelling her speak in Harper's Bazaar with... KIM KARDASHIAN. Remember PARIS HILTON, who was famous for being famous when that was sorta unique? "I am a original," she declares. This is a month SHEEN seems to self-destruct, entertainment an unsettling media shell and coining new expressions â€" heck, a new denunciation â€" with phrases like "Duh, Winning!" and "Adonis DNA" and "Vatican Assassins." His Twitter comment gains a million supporters a day after it opens. Finally he is dismissed for good. He files a lawsuit, shops a sermon and announces a inhabitant tour: "Charlie Sheen Live: Torpedo of Truth." Will it be funny, or will it be....
APRIL:
... Awful? Why, how did we guess? All that Tiger Blood can't save SHEEN from peppery reviews. Speaking of Sheenspeak, a actor also moves to heading 22 of his catchphrases. Meanwhile, LARRY KING, asked if he misses his nightly height on CNN, replies approbation â€" yet adds: "I don't skip a KARDASHIANS." And, not a good transition here, yet we contingency discuss KATE MIDDLETON: Prince William's new mother is an evident conform star and maybe a savior of a monarchy, after all.
MAY:
OPRAH WINFREY goes out with a bang, finale her speak uncover after 25 years with a frank thank-you, and no cars or trips for a audience. It's on to her new wire network, aptly called OWN. It's a worse month for DONALD TRUMP, who has to lay by President Obama's roasting of him, afterwards announces he won't run for president. (For now.) SHEEN WATCH: The actor tours hurricane repairs in Alabama, and repairs of a career kind comes after this month, when he's transposed on "Two and a Half Men" by ASHTON KUTCHER, Twitter aristocrat and a other half of DEMI MOORE. (For now.) But we're burying a lead: KARDASHIAN is engaged, to New Jersey Nets brazen Kris Humphries, her beloved of 6 months. She gets a offer on bended knee amid rose petals, and a large solid ring.
JUNE:
More good news for a KARDASHIANS: A California decider throws out a $75 million lawsuit by a credit label company. A still month for Charlie, so let's discuss another man who gets a lot of neglected attention: ANTHONY WEINER, who is forced to renounce his New York congressional chair following contemptible revelations of his electronic misadventures. It's goodbye for now to those dreams of being NYC mayor â€" NOT winning!
JULY:
REBECCA BLACK, now 14, releases a second video, a presciently named "My Moment." KARDASHIAN is removing prepared for HER moment, subsequent month's wedding, yet she has time to sue Old Navy (and a primogenitor company, The Gap Inc.) for regulating a lookalike to publicize a clothing. For SHEEN, it's time for a TV quip â€" Lionsgate Television announces a actor will seem in a new sitcom formed on a film "Anger Management." Yes, really.
AUGUST:
Can we lift a turn of sermon for a impulse and salute feminist idol GLORIA STEINEM, who appears in a new HBO film about her much-admired career? Back to Charlie: Can't he get a break? He goes to batting use in Phoenix and injures his elbow. But it's all a daze from ... THE WEDDING! Yes, KARDASHIAN and HUMPHRIES marry in a intemperate rite nearby Santa Barbara, Calif., to be televised as a two-part special on a E! network in October. Quips DAVID LETTERMAN, about new threats he's gotten for jokes viewed as anti-Muslim: "How can someone be so indignant during a time when Kim Kardashian is so happy?"
SEPTEMBER:
Call it a Redemption Tour: SHEEN seems to be creation good all over television, revelation MATT LAUER on "Today" of his crazy spring: "It was one of those things where a planets were aligned... like being shot out of a cannon into another cannon and afterwards being usually shot out of that one." He tells JAY LENO that he deserved to be fired. And in a warn coming during a Emmys, he wishes his aged uncover all a best for a arriving season. None of this saves him â€" or his former impression â€" from death: The uncover reveals a impression slipped on a transport height in Paris and was strike by an approaching train. And KARDASHIAN stays married â€" all month long.
OCTOBER:
Oh NO, we jinxed it! KARDASHIAN files for porce, usually 10 weeks after a matrimony and reduction than a month after a matrimony special aired. "I had hoped this matrimony was forever," she says, "but infrequently things don't work out as planned." Things are looking up, though, for SHEEN â€" a FX wire channel says it's picking adult "Anger Management." On a much, many some-more critical note, STEVE JOBS' genocide of cancer sparks a call of tributes opposite a globe. Perhaps a many touching of all of them: a partly bitten apples appearing in front of Apple stores everywhere, in esteem to a company's famous logo.
NOVEMBER:
OOPS! Candidate RICK PERRY'S annoying inability to remember a third supervision group he'd like to annul sparks a thousand spoofs. We knew her as a still teen in a White House: Now, a famously tightlipped CHELSEA CLINTON becomes a TV journalist, fasten NBC News. A fast month for Sheen â€" yet his deputy on "Two and a Half Men" sees some turmoil of his possess with a relapse of his matrimony to DEMI MOORE. It's not mostly we can quote Salman Rushdie in a lightsome cocktail enlightenment piece, so let's go for it: "The matrimony of bad kim (hash)kardashian was krushed like a kar in a krashian," tweets a "Satanic Verses" author.
DECEMBER:
Coming in usually underneath a wire: Yet another 2011 luminary matrimony breakup, this time comedian RUSSELL BRAND and thespian KATY PERRY. On a other hand, congratulations, REBECCA BLACK! "Friday" was a tip YouTube video of a year with 180 million views. KARDASHIAN (with her sisters) is partial of Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People special, and a starlet is also a year's third many searched tenure on Yahoo. As for SHEEN, he also wins something: a No. 7 mark on a Yale Law School librarian's annual list of tip quotes. To wit: "I am on a drug. It's called Charlie Sheen. It's not accessible since if we try it once we will die. Your face will warp off and your children will yowl over your exploded body."
That seems to contend it all. See we in 2012.
