With 2010 drawing to a close, it is with much pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, Fourth Annual Celebrity of the Year award. These stars all gave us their best, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness.

Her kids got in on the act as well. Bristol Palin made it to the finals on Dancing With the Stars , briefly got engaged a second time to Levi Johnston, filmed an abstinence PSA with The Situation and so on. Even Willow Palin, Bristol’s younger sister, got people all riled up with a homophobic Facebook rant at some dude who said Sarah Palin’s Alaska was failing so hard. Do the fierce lil’ grizzly cubs stick up for their mama? You betcha, and more power to ’em. Here’s a photo tribute to a woman like no other in this great country …
