Tiger Woods – couldn’t give two shits about the dude normally, but anyone causing that much trouble is ok in my books

Patrick Swayze – Roadhouse, Point Break, Donnie Darko. Yep, the guy was in all of them. RIP mate

John Daly – dude lots about 100 pounds and is still smashing beers and being a larrikin. What a guy!

Katy Perry – for no reason other than she’s unbelievably hot

Christian Bale – on set melt down where he swore like a sailor and threatened to smash someone… guru!

Tommy Wiseau – for looking like a creepy piece of shit who sounds like a stoned version of Borat, and thus introducing myself and my friends to the worst/best film of all time, “The Room”.

John Mayer – every time I see a gossip mag laying about he gets a mention for pumping half the women in Hollywood and generally leaves a trail of destruction wherever he goes. His music is balls but the dude sounds like he’d be fun to party with.

Andrew O’Keefe – dude hosts Deal Or No Deal (ruler) and got smashed and videotaped on Chapel Street. He mans up, where’s it on the chin and gets on with the job.

Kanye West & Taylor Swift’s publicist – sif she was even bummed about Kanye’s little outburst. He kept his name in the media after releasing a mediocre album and she sold another 20394729834923 records because people felt sorry for lil ol’ her. Good times.

Joe Rogan – UFC commentator, comedian and probably the most washed up dude ever. Wears thousand dollar, orange silk shirts (which he never irons) and always looks like he’s come off a 3 day coke bender. Joe… we salute you!

And finally, the song of the year.

T.I. featuring Mary J Blige - Don't Forget Me
