What a wild year it’s been. From hit songs to LOL moments, meltdowns and bombshell scandals, some videos won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
As 2010 draws to a close tonight, here are some of the videos that defined the year in Hollywood news, entertainment and celebrity gossip …
Tiger Woods apologizes: In the wake of his shocking sex scandal, Tiger came clean with a marathon, extremely stiff media mea culpa.
I’ll burn the house down! The Mel Gibson tapes made for one of ’10’s most remarkable stories. Here’s one of his most remarkable rants.
Eminem returns: With Rihanna on the chorus, the rapper’s single about domestic abuse struck a harrowing note and was an instant hit.
U Smile, he melts UR heart: Any Justin Bieber video is likely to elicit squealing amongst the masses. This one perhaps more than most.
Whip your hair back and forth: With her first hit, Willow Smith lived up to the hype as the next Michael Jackson. Okay, maybe not yet.
Caribou killer: Anything Sarah Palin does makes news and gets people riled up, but this reality show caribou kill took it to a new level.
Sext machine: Brett Favre sent some images of his junk to Jenn Sterger. He also hollered at her repeatedly, which you can listen to here.
When Teen Moms attack: Amber Portwood was charged with three felonies for beating her baby daddy on MTV. Here’s one such fight.
She’s hot: Okay, not really. At all. But Angelina Pivarnick’s rap debut may go down as the worst in history, and that’s saying something.
From beyond the grave: Michael Jackson teamed up with Akon on “Hold My Hand.” Akon also recently collaborated with Lonely Island.
Kanye goes nuts: As crazy videos go, take your pick with Kanye West. We particularly liked this lengthy live rant (about previous rants).
Foot fetish: Those words alone make one cringe, but this video featuring N.Y. Jets coach Rex Ryan’s wife was pretty vanilla. Odd, though.
Puff all night long: Saving the best for last, nothing sparked outcry quite like the Miley Cyrus bong video. It was just salvia, okay?! God.
