celebrities we are thankful 20 celebrities we’re thankful for in 2010

2010 has been a year to remember. And many of the reasons 2010 has been so special has to do with the behavior of many of our favorite celebrities. From sex tapes to sexting pics, from cheating husbands to open marriages, from underage inappropriateness to locker room shenanigans, it was one hell of a year. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving here are 20 celebrities that we are truly thankful were around to keep us entertained. Even if that wasn’t quite what they were going for.

20 Kendra Wilkinson
Kendra had an interesting year. Her reality show debuted (with lots of semi-nudity). She posed/didn’t pose for Playboy again. Oh, and did we mention her sex tape? She released a sex tape. Thank you for being a fame whore.

19 Conan O’Brien
Never before has one man made more headlines for losing his job. His comeback on TBS was fun (as was the time leading up to it). His little tour of the country was fun. Plus he proved that Jay Leno sucks, which is also very, very fun. Thank you for being so entertaining.

18 Jerry Seinfeld
Thank you for finally being the one famous person to finally say something about Lady Gaga.

17 Rihanna
2010 saw Rihanna turn into this generation’s Madonna, cranking out hits, wearing sexy clothing while performing, becoming a business unto herself, telling small children to f**k off. But mostly 2010 for Rihanna was about cleavage. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of cleavage. And nipples. That too. Much appreciated.

16 Jordan Bratman
Jordan Bratman or as I like to refer to him, The Luckiest Ewok in the Planet, managed to some how, some way screw up being married to one of the sexiest, most well-known women on Earth, his soon-to-be ex-wife Christina Aguilera. And then to put the cherry on top, Jordan wouldn’t leave Christina’s house, adding hilarity to the joy I felt. For that, I am very thankful.

15 Demi Moore
Thank you, Demi, for still being a smokin’ hot POA at your advanced age, but mostly thank you for not going apeshit on your ~~son~~ husband Ashton Kutcher for allegedly cheating on you because as it turns out you like to get a little strange with multi-time Olympic god medal winners your own self (allegedly). Oh, and for hating on Jenny McCarthy. That was cool too.

14 Cheryl Tweedy
In 2010, Cheryl released a new album. But wait, there’s more! She also (*deep breath*) did a bunch of sexy live performances. Not done yet! Her brother got arrested and was voted #1 on FHM UK’s Hottest 100 babes list. (Still not done.) She also was immortalized in wax, put out a sexy calendar, became the face of L’Oreal, and here’s the best part: she finally ditched her cheatin’-ass loser husband of hers. Thank you for being Cheryl, minus the douche.

13 Montana Fishburne
When 2010 started we had no idea that actor extraordinaire Laurence Fishburne had a daughter. A daughter who likes sex. A daughter who likes to get paid to have sex. As a hooker. A daughter who likes to talk about getting paid to have sex. Who then checked into a mental institution. Thank you for sharing your 15 minutes.

12 Irina Shayk
For becoming my new favorite WAG, and for posing in lingerie, in lingerie again, in lingerie again, posing topless, in bikinis and lingerie, in bikinis again, for hugging another model in bikinis, again in bikinis, in lingerie again… okay, you see where I am heading here. We’re just very, very grateful (even if she is just a high-priced escort, allegedly).

11 Miley Cyrus
For setting new (lower) standards for the young women of the world, I want to thank Miley Cyrus. For showing them that it’s okay to wear see-through shirts (all the time), for doing completely age-inappropriate music videos, for getting trashy tattoos, for pretending to make out with Ashley Greene, and for being such a guiding light for fellow Disney cast member Demi Lovato, I say thank you.

10 Christina Hendricks
In 2010, Christina Hendricks proved that ‘bigger’ girls can be sexy too. Like really, really, really sexy. She also proved that redheads can be sexy. Really, really, really sexy. Thanks for the mammaries.

9 Jesse James
What fun it was in 2010 to keep reading about how Jesse James completely screwed over America’s Sweetheart Sandra Bullock. From the fact that Jesse didn’t even wear underwear or condoms while he was cheating with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, to the sexts he sent to one of the other three women he allegedly cheated with (whoops, make that 10 other women), to using Sandy’s credit card to score a hookah. Oh, and I can’t forget all the sex tapes he allegedly made. Thanks for making all other men look like saints.

8 Ines Sainz
Back in May I did a post showing little-known Mexican reporter Ines Sainz in bikinis for Esquire Mexico. I figured that would be the last time I would ever hear about her again. Boy, was I wrong. At least Clinton Portis was able to keep all of the bad news coming out of Jets camp in perspective. Don’t worry though, I am guessing this won’t be the last we’ll see of Ms. Sainz. Thankyouverymuch.

7 Jenn Sterger
Speaking of sideline reporters and the Jets, infamous FSU Cowgirl Jenn Sterger made all sorts of news when word came out that Brett Favre took pics of his Lil’ Gunslinger and sent them to the former Jets sideline reporter. Sadly this forced Jenn to “put her life on hold”, retain legal counsel, and her show was canceled. All of this couldn’t have happened to more deserving individuals. Thank you.

6 Jessica Alba
Thank you, Jessica, for being a naive young lady and sending someone (presumably your husband, but hey maybe not!) photos of yourself topless while you were pregnant. (Karma for duping us in Machete, anyone?) Thank you, brain-altering pregnancy hormones, thank you.

5 Tiger Woods
Where to begin? The 121 chicks? The Interview? The Mistress Beauty Pageant? The love child that wasn’t? The $750 million? The look you gave John Daly? The sex tape that wasn’t? The Halloween costume? Nah, none of that! The things we’re most thankful for from Tiger have to be Rachel Uchitel and the South Park episode. Thanks for the reality check.

4 Candice Swanepoel
In 2010 there was no model more prolific (or in more states of undress) than South African stunner and Victoria’s Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel. From working the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to posing in lingeries and bikinis for the aforementioned Victoria’s Secret (many, many, many, many, many, many times), Zeki Triko (many, many times), Beach Bunny (many, many times), Aqua Bendita, Paul De Luna, as well as for several magazines like GQ and Esquire, there was no model who got the job done more in 2010. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
