What To Look For In 2010

With a new year comes resolutions most people won't keep past January 31 and also unexpected developments in the media, technology and even celebrities. Here's what you should be looking for in 2010.

Alice In Wonderland - Director Tim Burton coupled with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Anne Hathaway and many more? This children's story is about to take on a whole new meaning. Look for it to hit theaters March 5, 2010, in the USA.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - No one can deny that pop culture is being taken over by vampire- and werewolf-lovers. The latest installment in this saga will hit theaters June 30, 2010.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I - This is the movie I am looking forward to seeing most in this new year. The penultimate film in this exciting series will debut in theaters on November 19.

The music industry - With new and innovative artists, like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Susan Boyle, and Taylor Swift, and well-established music veterans, such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kelly Clarkson, revolutionizing the music biz, there's no telling what will happen this year. That Lady Gaga/Susan Boyle collabo doesn't seem so far-fetched now.

The Gosselins - Although many of us don't like to admit it, we all know who these attention-seeking people are. Undoubtedly there will be some new twist to this tired tale this year. I myself am not a fan of the show nor the people. But for goodness sakes, don't subject those kids to this mess!

The 2010 Grammys - The Grammys will be on CBS on January 31 at 8PM ET/PT. With diverse artists such as Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, Kings of Leon, and Lady Gaga nominated for so many awards, I honestly have no idea who will win what. I only know who I think should win.

Sandra Bullock - I went from not really caring that this actress was in Miss Congeniality a few years ago to laughing til it hurt during her blockbusters this year. To ice the cake, she has been recently named the top star of the 2009 box office, beating out stars such as George Clooney and Denzel Washington. She's the first woman to earn this honor since Julia Roberts received it in 1999.

The economy - This should go unsaid, as all of us are either unemployed or know someone who is. Very few of us can afford extravagant luxuries anymore, although the economy seems to be getting a little better.

Lady Gaga - After releasing several #1 singles this year and beginning her first headlining tour, the sky doesn't even seem to be the limit for Stefani Germanotta. Try the thermosphere.

Video Games - The music game business has taken a hit this year, no matter how many die-hard Beatles fans bought the Beatles version of Rock Band. I would be more surprised to see the release of a new, ground-breaking video game, or an accessory, at the very least. (Wii, anyone?) We ARE living in the year 2010, after all.

I expect Facebook to keep going strong, Twitter to gain even more users, celebrities to make faux pas, obsessed teenage girls going crazy over Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner, middle-aged moms going crazy over Robert Pattinson, ridiculous tabloid rumors, new technology, and hopefully, a better economy and more jobs.
