CL’S 2006 STYLE AWARDS

Sunday, December 31, 2006 |

It’s New Years Eve and finally time for our last list of flashbacks from 2006. Fashion changes every year, with reinvention of the old and introduction of the new. Many of the stylish trends and hot looks from ‘06 came directly from the red carpets, as stars were decked out - some looking the best they ever looked. Now its time to highlight this closing year in style and fashion - giving out recognition based on the response from the general public and comments from our CL visitors:

UPGRADE OF ‘06 (FEMALE) - RIHANNA

Rihanna has upgraded herself tremendously this year. We remember when she first hit the scene as a cute little island girl. Now she’s a certified sexy young lady getting love from everyone. Already scoring a Cover Girl contract and wearing exclusive designs from Dolce & Gabbana, she’s on her way to becoming Hollywood’s next big thing.

CL’S TOP 5 ‘WTF MOMENTS’ OF 2006

Friday, December 29, 2006 |

Since there was some confusion about the first list I posted, I wanted to make it clear that these lists were compiled after I went through every CL post of the year. It’s a list to show who yall commented on the most, or who we posted about the most. So if you don’t like the list that’s your damn problem.

#1: THREE 6 MAFIA WINNING AN OSCAR

We all screamed WTF when Three 6 won an Oscar for Best Song in an Original Motion Picture. Everyone automatically wrote them off and said they were lucky to even be nominated, but I guess the Academy had other plans. Keep popping those collars!

#2: NE-YO CAUGHT WITH HIS PANTS DOWN

(click on the picture to see full shot)
These pictures caused the CL server to crash, and generated a lot of comments. I already knew it was Ne-Yo because how could you not tell, but everyone else was like that wasn’t him. Nevertheless, he came out and admitted his was getting some head from one of his backup dancers. What’s wrong with that?

He was 73.

Just a heads up, one more picture of him in the casket is after the jump.
