Lord knows I love my music videos and 2007 gave me plenty to savor. Particularly I thought Gwen Stefani’s video for “The Sweet Escape” was not only visually groundbreaking but she looked drop-dead gorgeous in it as well. Some of the videos that I thought were particularly visually stimulating included:

Gwen Stefani – The Sweet Escape
Kanye West – Stronger
Feist – 1,2,3,4
Beyonce – Get Me Bodied
Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder
Rihanna – Umbrella

Love Muffins, Were there any videos that you thought were truly stellar this year?

We all know that celebrities are human beings and they can make catastrophic mistakes like the rest of us. The only difference is their mistakes are played out in the public forum for all the world to see. Here is my list of the dumbest moves of 2007!

- Miss Teen South Carolina Gives American A Bad Name
- OJ Simpson Tries To Publish A Book Called “If I Did It”
- Michael Vick Is Caught In Dog-Fighting Fiasco
- Lynn Spears Plans To Author Book Giving Parenting Advice (I’ll Pass)
- Girls Going Pantyless (Paging Britney, Paris, and Lindsay!)

This year Cate Blanchett killed everyone with her stunning magazine covers and red carpet dresses. Her style classic, modern, and the epitome of glamour. No matter where she was this year, she always looked splendiferously stunning. Check out some of her eye-catching looks this year!

Honorable Mention:

I also have to give it up for Reese Witherspoon and Rihanna for serving up some major hotness every time their stilettos hit the red carpet this year. Reese’s style this year was sleek and sexy while Rihanna deserves to be on this list if only for bringing the bob back into style. These two fashionistas were definitely ones to watch this year.

Beyonce and Jennifer Garner also stood out in 2007 when it came to rocking fashionable threads. Jennifer Garner lost her baby weight and looked better than ever while Beyonce experimented with high fashion in a unique way this year.

Who do you think had the best fashion year in 2007!

David Beckham arrived stateside this year and with his Armani underwear campaign he showed that he truly has the “full package”. This year Matthew McConaughey was simply ASS-tastic. This man could not find a shirt to wear if his life depended on it but I’m not complaining one bit.

Other men that were off the hook this year were:

- Mario Lopez
- Shemar Moore
- Jonathan Rhys Myers
- Chris Evans
- Djimon Hounsou
- Adam Levine

As with any year, there were plenty of albums released in 2007. But only a few were able to tickle my fancy. Some of these albums moved my soul, others touched my spirit, and others just made me wanna hit the club house. In the end, I don’t really care how commercially successful the album was. The only thing I care about is if it made me groove. So here’s my list of 2007 best albums (in no particular order).

- Feist – The Reminder
- Mary J. Blige – Growing Pains
- Alicia Keys – As I Am
- Kanye West – Graduation
- Amy Winehouse – Back To Black
- Britney Spears – Blackout
- Jill Scott – The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3
- Jay-Z – American Gangster
- Keyshia Cole – Just Like You
- Rihanna – Good Girl Gone Bad
- Kylie Minogue – X

So love muffins, Let me know which albums had you jammin’ this year?

This year a lot of people had really stellar years. The stars were aligned and things seemed to work in their favor. Some of the stars on this list were already familiar to us and others seemed to come from nowhere. Either here were stars that had me enraptured this year.

- Shia LeBeouf
- Hayden Panetierre
- Zac Effron
- Rihanna
- Katharine Heigl

What new star did it for you this year
