Woman Of The Year: Amy Winehouse. Outrageously talented, and sadly a celebrity blogger’s dream. And with the best-selling album of the year, she proves there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Celebrity Mess of the Year: Amy Winehouse
Car of the Year Not Including the Mini: The Maserati Granturismo. Can you imagine turning up in one of these? Italian sex appeal without the embarrassment of owning a Ferrari.
Car Most Likely to get Keyed Outside my House if I Owned One: Maserati Granturismo.
Car of the Year including the MINI: The MINI Cooper S I test drove. Just awesome. I want one!
Album of the Year: Amy Winehouse – Back to Black. Though released in 2006, I only really appreciated just how good this album this year. Real British soul music – you don’t hear Americans singing about being no good.

1) Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis
2) Back to Black – Amy Winehouse
3) Umbrella – Rihanna
4) No One – Alicia Keys
5) Anonymous – Bobby Valentino
6) Promise-Ciara
7) Icebox-Omarion
8) Can’t Forget About You – Nas feat Chrisette Michele
9) Gotta Work – Amerie
10) Uninvited – Freemasons
Retailer of the Year: Ted Baker (of course)
Website of the Year: Facebook. So successful, my employer has blocked it.
Biggest Disappointments of the Year:
- The iPhone. Beautiful, but no 3G and an 18 month contract with O2? No thanks.
- Where was Whitney’s album?
- Having to challenge people about their racism in 2007.
Things I’m looking forward to in 2008:
- My Civil Partnership & honeymoon. Hooray!
- Cousin #1′s baby
- Cousin # 2′s baby
- Brother’s baby (blimey feeling left out, must adopt a goldfish or something)
- Mini Cooper S????! (had to put this last or my nearest and dearest will kill me!)
