Oh Eight Oh Eight
“I thought no one would get me. But they did. It was such a surprise...”
Why I love him this year: His debut album blew my mind. Especially the track "Black and Gold" It is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. Every track is so catchy, and has a meaning to it. He is so talented and I can't wait to see what the future has in store!
"Success for me isn't a destination it's a journey. Everybody's working to get to the top but where is the top? It's all about working harder and getting better and moving up and up."
Why I love her this year: I feel like this year Rihanna really came out of her shell and turned into a real artist. I love almost every song she put out and I love that she portrays a strong, independent woman that on one is going to mess with while still being sexy! And that haircut is amazing...
"My goal and my career is definitely not to be famous. That's a really horrible goal, just to be famous for the sake of having fame."
Why I love him this year: One of the funniest people ever. I really got into his weekly show clip show "The Soup" on E! and I found out he's from the same city I am and went to the same University. I also saw him once when he came to town...And then again at the grocery store. Love him! And his spaghetti cat...
"I have stopped doing things that I think I should and I am doing things because I want to. I feel secure enough to be able to say say no. It's only the last two years I have wanted to do that. Since I've started saying no I am really happy with my life."
Why I love her this year: I love fashion and I read a lot of magazines, and when I started to notice Agyness I knew she was someone I would come to admire. I like how she brings an edge to any campaign or fashion show she is in. Not to mention her peronal style is to die for!
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
Why I love him this year: I was lucky enough to go to an Obama rally in February and I got chills and goosebumps when he spoke. I could feel that hope and inspiration filling up the stadium. I had tears in my eyes and I knew that he would be the man to change America. I cried again on election night...My first election being able to vote and it was an amazing experience.
"Up until I was 12 my sisters used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as 'Claudia'! Twelve was a turning point as I moved to a mixed school and then I became cool and discovered hair gel."
Why I love him this year: When I first heard he was going to be Edward in 'Twilight' I was unsure. I knew he was hot, but he wasnt what I pictured. Then when I watched the movie I realized he was exactly how I pictured him, the same facial expressions, the same delivery of lines. He was great! I can't wait to see how he grows into the character...
And my boys...!
Jensen Ackles || Dean Winchester
I'm not Mr. Debonair Suave. I'm just a regular boy who goofs around, pulls pranks, and makes jokes. That doesn't sound very hot to me."
Why I love him this year: Of course I am a huge 'Supernatural' fan, but I feel that this season, Jensen has really proven himself as an actor. He has done some of the most compelling and heart breaking scenes from the entire show and most of them have been in the first half of this new season. He is sexy, and an amazing actor...I can't wait to see where he goes next!
Jared Padalecki || Sam Winchester
"Whenever I drive under a yellow light, I always kiss my finger and tap it on the roof of the car. And I do that when I get onto a plane as well!"Why I love him this year: I've always been a Dean girl, but I love Jared as an actor I think ata time better then Sam. He seems so sweet and charming and just like a really great guy. He is also an awesome actor, really making me question Sam and his motives this season. I think that he has a lot more in him to give and I'm excited to see what that looks like. And his love for animals is so adorable!
2008 was AWESOME! I can't wait to see what 2009 has to offer!
