2011
was one action-packed year! From much anticipated weddings to lousy
music videos, the last twelve months sure have been a thrill. What
1.
Rebecca Black’s “Friday” music video
Although
the video and vocals were tragic to say the least, the lyrics were
quite catchy and had everyone singing “it’s Friday, Friday”
every single Friday afternoon.
events stand out the most in your mind? Check out our fave moments we
will always remember.
2.
The Royal Wedding of Kate and Prince William
Waking
up at 4 a.m. was totally worth it to watch the gorgeous Kate
Middleton walk down the aisle and become a princess. We’re still
obsessing over her dress.
3.
Oprah has retired!
It was
the end of an era when Oprah finally decided to end her talk show
series after 25 seasons. But have no fear, we hear she’ll be
back…with a different kind of show.
4.
The new “planking” phase
Who knew
that playing “light as a feather, stiff as board” in broad
daylight could be so much fun, and so popular?
5.
The final Harry
Potter flick
It’s
time to say goodbye to Hogwarts and our beloved Harry, Ron, and
Hermoine. After seven books and eight movies, the series came to a
very sad end this summer. Don’t want to leave the wizarding world
just yet? Try to win an acceptance to Pottermore.
6.
Lady Gaga as a man?!
While we
expect nothing less than completely over the top from Lady G, at the
2011 Video Music Awards, she outdid herself by hosting and performing
as her very realistic male alter ego Jo Calderone, complete with a
white T-shirt, baggy pants and a wig.
7.
Beyoncé’s VMA surprise
At the
end of her VMA performance of her new hit “Love on Top,” Beyoncé
proudly showed off her pregnant belly to national TV while her
husband Jay-Z, couldn’t stop smiling off stage. Their baby girl is
expected in early 2012!
8.
Kim Kardashian’s 72 day marriage
It may
have been one of the most elaborate Hollywood weddings, but the
planning probably lasted longer than the actual marriage did.
9.
Happy Halloween from PLL
The
Pretty Little Liars
Halloween-themed flashback special episode was spooky to say the
least, but it definitely did not scare off viewers. This frightening
flashback episode brought in more viewers than the season 1 premiere
back in 2010. We can’t wait for PLL
to return Jan. 2, 2012.
10.
Justin Bieber Baby Daddy Drama
The
rumored love affair with a fan caused quite a scandal among the
Bieber followers…and his GF Selena Gomez.
11.
The Twilight
Wedding
After
much anticipation, Edward, the vampire, and Bella, the human, finally
tied the knot in an over the top-yet-classic wedding in Breaking
Dawn Part 1.

2011 moments were you shocked by the most? Blog about it, babes.
