This is what you’ve been waiting for all year: my BEST of 2008 Awards! It was a difficult decision, but I was able to narrow down the choices and finally arrive at a winner in every category.

I know you won’t agree on my choices, but we all agree on the BEST Female of the Year …

BEST Female of the Year: Rihanna

The girl was doing it all over 2008! She deserves every accolade and honor she received. Next year will be even bigger for our girl! Congrats RiRi!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! Be safe, eat healthy and drink wisely. We’ll see you back here on Monday!
