My, oh my, what a year it has been for music, movies and entertainment overall. 2015 will be remembered for some major headlines; from meeting Caitlyn Jenner, to the biggest celebrity breakups we weren't expecting, to the viral 'how-to' guide on getting Kylie Jenner's famous pout (I knew I forgot to check something off my to-do list this month!). As we take a look back at this year's most memorable moments, let us reminisce the most talked about stories, shall we?
First on the list, and not surprisingly, the introduction of Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as reality TV star Bruce Jenner. It wasn't long ago when Jenner sat down with ABC's Diane Sawyer and announced that he was in the process of becoming a woman. Months later, Vanity Fair revealed its cover for their June edition and the world got a glimpse of Caitlyn. Not only was she the most talked about celebrity, she even got her own reality series titled "I Am Cait", which has been renewed for a second season.
This next story is still ongoing and it looks like we'll still be hearing about it in 2016. Over the summer, it came as a shock to learn that one of America's most beloved TV dads, and star of the 80s sitcom "The Cosby Show", Bill Cosby, had been accused of sexually assaulting over 50 women. Some of these accusers included former models Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson, who both turned to the media to tell their story. Cosby has denied any wrongdoing and ever since news broke, several networks have decided to pull the plug on re-runs of the classic sitcom.
"It's Over", is the headline most magazines and celebrity websites used over this past year. It seems as though every month brought news of another couple's split; not to mention, couples that we rarely hear about, that keep a low profile. The biggest and most talked about breakup would have to be Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. It was reported that Ben cheated on his wife with the family's nanny, but neither have commented on this story. The two were married for ten years and are parents to three young children. Other power couples that called it quits this year were actors Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, and singer Gwen Stefani, who filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years Gavin Rossdale. Let's just hope Cupid gets it right in the new year!
March 25th, 2015, the day every young teenage girl's heart got broken and will be remembered as one of the worst days in boy band mania. Zayn Malik, from One Direction, had announced that he was leaving the group after five years. When asked why he was parting ways, he said it was due to stress and that he wanted to be a normal 22 year-old and enjoy some time away from the spotlight. At the time, Malik was engaged to singer Perrie Edwards from the girl group "Little Mix", and many had speculated that she had something to do with Zayn's departure. Even fans of One Direction went as far as dubbing Edwards as "the new Yoko Ono".
What can I say, this past year did have its ups and downs but when it comes to entertainment, it's nothing out of the ordinary! As we say goodbye to 2015 and hello to 2016, we know we'll have more to read (and talk) about for another year! Let the countdown begin!
