We’ve reached the top of our Celebrity of the Year countdown. Or, as many might say, given the winner, the bottom . The THG staff has spent the last couple weeks breaking down the most newsworthy stars of 2011, from Lindsay Lohan at #10, up to the impressive comeback of Jennifer Lopez at #9, to the popularity of Selena Gomez at #8 and the hilarity of viral video stars at #7. There was the hit-generating Katy Perry at #6, Justin Bieber and his hair at #5, those gorgeous British Royal Family members at #4, Charlie Sheen and his winning ways at #3 and the most charitable, eccentric celeb of all at #2, Lady Gaga . So who remains? The woman who accomplished both everything and nothing in 2011, our #1 selection of the year… Kim Kardashian ! For the record, this is a business decision. We do not like Kim Kardashian. We wish we never had to write a word about Kim Kardashian. We fail to see why a single human being is a fan of Kim Kardashian. But the facts speak for themselves, and no celebrity made more headlines in 2011. Consider: In JANUARY : Kim kicked off the new year by debuting a single that made Kim Zolciak sound like Whitney Houston. She also met the family of Kris Humphries for the first time and premiered the highly-rated, critically-lambasted Kourtney & Kim Take New York . In February : She starred in a Super Bowl commercial and whined over her latest nude photo spread . It also came out that she and her family made $65 million in 2010. In MARCH : She appeared in a Midori ad campaign , as buzz first circulated that she might marry Humphries. In APRIL : She lashed out at Turkish Cosmo and posed on many red carpets in a cleavage-baring dress. In MAY : She came out with a new fragrance, got angry over the misuse of her bare boobs and, oh, got engaged to Humphries . In JUNE : She appeared on the covers of multiple tabloids and defended herself against rumors of infidelity . In JULY : She took photos of herself in Humphries’ hometown and got into trouble for complaining about the Casey Anthony verdict . In AUGUST : She married Humphries . Perhaps you heard about it. In SEPTEMBER : She honeymooned with Kris while her publicists plotted how to best announce the upcoming divorce . Someone also tried to purchase the rights to her sex tape . In OCTOBER : She turned 31 and rumors started to swirl that her marriage was already in trouble. She ended the month by filing for divoce. In NOVEMBER : She whined and cried and played ignorant as to why anyone would dare questions her motives to marry. She visited Australia and Minnesota and premiered season two of Kourtney & Kim Take New York . Over three million people tuned in. In DECEMBER : She was considered one of the Most Fascinating People of 2011 by Barbara Walters and will conclude her most prosperous year to date the only way she knows how: by standing around a club in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve and earning $600,000 .
