(BEST OF 2012) Those We Lost in 2012!

(AP) – Neil Armstrong would always be taking that first step onto the moon, and Dick Clark was forever "the world's oldest teenager." A look at some of the notables who died in 2012:

• Etta James, 73. Blues singer best known for her enduring classic "At Last." Jan. 20. Complications from leukemia.

(LIST) 12 Celebs Who Had a Really Bad 2012!

You think you're ready for 2012 to be over? Well, these dozen celebrities rounded up by the Huffington Post are probably even happier to wave goodbye to this year:

• Demi Moore: She kicked off 2012 by inhaling too many "whip-its" and having a seizure; her year went on to include a rift with her daughters, Ashton Kutcher finally filing for divorce (after getting together with someone much younger than Demi), and Demi getting dumped again.
• Kris Humphries: As if the whole Kim Kardashian fiasco wasn't enough, Humphries also had herpes allegations to deal with, not to mention another apparently crazy ex.

• Amanda Bynes: Enough said.
• Lindsay Lohan: Do we really need to explain?
• Lance Armstrong: He lost his Tour de France titles and a whole bunch of other stuff, got sued, and the icing on the cake: Sports Illustrated named him the Anti-Sportsman of the Year. Ouch.

(SOAP Q) GAY DAYS: It’s Christmas Day for Will, Sonny and the rest of the gang! AWKWARD!

You know Will and Sonny are a solid couple when they make the Christmas party rounds and spend time with each other’s families. Of course Nick and Will are at the same party, since they are Hortons and they both have a ornament on the Horton Family Christmas tree! Gabi was given a Christmas Ornament to hang, but I don't think it had her name on it. My comment was Sonny should been given the same respect.

Both sets of parents are cool with the pair now but Will is still steamed at Nick for referring to him as ‘the gay boy’ the other day. AWKWARD!

The former jailbird will rue the day he made that little remark!

There's much to be said there about the show, but given the shot above, from a Men's Journal fashion spread featuring the bushy-maned, scruffy-faced Harington, one of his big dislikes may surprise you: "I hate wigs.

Put me in a wig or a beard, I’m not doing it.' That’s how I feel. I’m not doing it. I hate wigs. I hate them."
