The holiday season is upon us and it is important that we
take some time to give thanks for the blessings we have. Of course there are the obvious reasons to be thankful such as family and friends. But we can’t forget the other very important reasons to be thankful –
the pop culture reasons. As the
year comes to a close, I have complied a pithy, yet thought provoking list of
the top five pop culture phenomena that I am thankful for this year. So sit back, relax, grab a cup of eggnog, and
let’s give thanks for pop culture in all its greatness.
#5 – Miley Cyrus – No matter how bad of a hair day I have, I
can go to bed knowing that my hair always looks better than Miley’s hair.
#4 – Kanye
West – Whenever I get depressed that my life is nowhere near as glamorous as
Kim Kardashian’s life, I quickly
remember that she is tied to Kanye West for at least the next 18 years.
#3 – Justin
Timberlake – Where do I begin - the hair, the smooth as silk voice, the way he
glides so elegantly on the dance floor, most amazing grill ever? Oh JT, how you define the phrase “total
package”.
#2 – Britney
– She’s got her show in Vegas. She’s got
her body back. She’s gotten rid of the
bad hair extensions. It seems like
finally the stars are aligning because our girl is back. Boom!
#1 – E! –
“Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, “Total Divas”, “Secret Societies of
Hollywood” – the list goes on and on.
What would my life be like without these mesmerizing, gripping shows? I can tell you how it would be - empty and
hollow.
If you
haven’t made your holiday pop culture thankful list, I encourage you do to
so. It really helps to put your life
into perspective. However, if you feel
like you don’t have much to be thankful for hold on - E! just aired a
new Christmas episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. If you missed it don’t worry. You can catch a rerun of the episode at the
top of the hour every hour for the next three months or so. ‘Tis the season and may pop culture make you merry and bright!
