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

When celebrities do stupid things, sometimes they have to pay the consequences like everyone else. Sometimes that means they end up going to jail and having to take a mugshot without professional lighting or photographers. Oh the horror! Here are some of my favorite mugshots. (From Left-to-Right and Top-to-Down)

- OJ Simpson
- Paris Hilton
- Shia LeBoeuf
- Foxy Brown
- Jason Wahl (From Laguna Beach and The Hills)
- Kelis
- Joe Francis (Creator of Girls Gone Wild)
- Bobby Brown
- Kid Rock
- Keifer Southerland
- Lindsay Lohan
- Lisa Nowak (Crazy Astronaut Lady)
- Mischa Barton
- Nicole Richie
- Pitbull

Which of these mugshots is the most fab and which is most fug?

Being the optimist I am, I usually try to approach everything in life with a positive attitude but sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade. For every high expectation I had this year, there were equally horrible disappointment waiting around the corner. Nothing seemed to embody this sentiment more than Britney Spears at the VMAs. My Love Muffins know how I stuck my neck out for ther and then…well we all know what happened. Let’s hope next year ends on a more positive note. Here’s the video to remind you of the atrocity.

Here were the disappointments that topped the list.

- Britney Spears’ Horrendous VMA Performance
- Amy Winehouse Ruining Her Career Before It Ever Really Got Started
- Gwen Stefani’s Lackluster Sophmore Album “The Sweet Escape”
- Jessica Simpson’s Stalled Movie Career (If You Can Even Call It That)
- Nicole Scherzinger’s Failed Singles (”Whatever You Like”/”Baby Love”)
- Jennifer Lopez Movie and Album Disasters
- American Idol’s Horrible Season 6

Who or What Disappointed You Most This Year?

When it came to evaluate the best songs of 2007, I looked at all the songs that dominated the airways this year. These were the songs that served as the soundtrack to our lives and the tunes that we couldn’t run away from no matter how hard we tried. Of all the songs that topped the Billboard Top 100 Airways chart this year, only a select few were able to hold the title for longer than 3 weeks. Here they are (in the order in which they debuted on the chart this year)!

- Beyonce – Irreplaceable (8 weeks + 3 weeks in 2006)
- Akon – Don’t Matter (6 Weeks)
- T-Pain feat. Yung Joc – Buy U A Drink (Shawty Snappin’) (8 weeks)
- Rihanna feat. Jay-Z – Umbrella (4 weeks)
- Fergie – Big Girls Don’t Cry (7 weeks)
- Soulja Boy – Crank That (Soulja Boy) (3 weeks)
- Alicia Keys – No One (9 weeks and still counting)

So Love Muffins, Let me know which one you think was the best song of 2007!

The Hills Co-Star, Heidi Montag showed off a new look on Saturday, the day after undergoing a lip enhancement procedure. Heidi also had her boobs done earlier in the year. Something tells me Heidi isn’t happy with herself and being in the shadow of The Hills Star, Lauren Conrad. Thoughts?
