Hollywire's 50 Favorite Celebs of 2010!
2010 was a great year in Hollywood! And it was all made even better by the celebrities who made our jobs fun and easy too!
It was the year of ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘Pretty Little Liars;’
Rehab attempts and lockups,
Fist-pumping and fights.
A year of unforeseen breakups,

Royal engagements and weddings...
It was all good fun, for the most part.
It ended with bucket lists
And scandalous tweets;

25. Hayley Williams of Paramore - Not only is Hayley the lead singer of the really awesome pop/rock band, Paramore, she is a sweetheart too!
In the last six years, Paramore has become uber-famous, but somehow, through it all, Hayley has managed to keep tabs on her friends and family from before all her glory.
Her vocal
talent and awesomeness make her one of our favorites! And, she gave a shoutout to her number one fan at Hollywire, so we can't ignore that!
24. Sandra Bullock - Sandy has had quite a year!
Her Oscar win for "The Blind Side," her Razzie for "All About Steve," and starting a family with baby Louis, all among much turmoil revolving around her failed marrigage with Jesse James. But this fine celebrity stayed poised through it all.
She's not done with movie making just yet, but she has been laying low. Probably trying to spend quality time with her new little one! Sandra is truly one of a kind.

We don't want you to get too caught up in acting, performing is still our favorite way of seeing you!
19. Hilary Duff - Hilary Duff is one ex-Disney star that has taken her career and life down the right path.

She co-wrote her very own novel, entitled 'Elixir,' which has been getting rave reviews and may be turned into a series!
Who knew!? Congrats Hilary!
18. The Buried Life -
Ben Nemtin, Duncan Penn, Dave Lingwood & Jonnie Penn
The Buried Life Boys are a Hollywire favorite for many reasons!
We have a soft spot for them after meeting them for the first time during their first season on MTV and they have stayed genuine and true, even after all of their success and fame!
Their hit MTV show The Buried Life is absolutely inspirational and does much to help fire up a more thoughtful generation.
These adorable guys are awesome to watch and they are so much fun to work with!
17. Ashley Tisdale - Ashley's taken her career in a variety of directions and we couldn't be more proud!
From 'High School Musical' to 'Country Strong' and the 'Hellcats' cheerleading captain,
Ashely has proven her ability to move quickly and freely through so many different characters; it's nice to see that she didn't get type-casted!
16. Miley Cyrus - Miley has had a breakout year.
She finished up 'Hannah Montana,' and broke out on the music scene as the girl who “can’t be tamed.”
Keeping it lively we've learned there’s never a shortage of anything to report on with Miley!
15. Olivia Wilde - Olivia Wilde had an awesome year with the release of 'Tron: Legacy'.
In this sequel to the original 'Tron,' Olivia plays Quorra, the warrior and surrogate daughter to Jeff Bridges' character, Kevin Flynn!
Olivia will be seen a lot more next year with the release of three new movies!
14. Zac Efron - Earlier this year Zac made us fall in love all over again with his lead role in 'Charlie St. Cloud'.
His charm and that smile make us so glad to have him back on the big screen!
13. Lady Gaga - A pop culture music icon who is not afraid to push the envelope on stage, on the streets, or in life!
She is one of Hollywire’s favorites because of her fearlessness to be whomever she wants! Little Monsters unite!
12. Usher - We love Usher because he's just so smooth!
He had a killer year with his hits "OMG" (featuring will.i.am) and "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" (featuring Pitbull),
and came out with his sixth album 'Raymond v. Raymond.'
Plus he discovered our #1 favorite of 2010 (hint hint)!!!
11. Cast of Twilight -
Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson
We love the entire cast of Twilight, but just couldn't choose between them. Also, Robert and Kristen finally admitted they were an item (as if nobody figured it out)!
'Twilight,' the book series, became an overnight sensation and the making of the movies catapulted it even faster.
This year 'Twilight: Eclipse' came out, setting a new record for the biggest midnight opening in the United States and Canada in box office history!
10. Lauren Conrad - Lauren Conrad announced this year that she will be getting her own reality show on MTV,
which will focus on her fashion career, not her personal life like on 'The Hills.'
LC also released the second and third books in her 'L.A. Candy' trilogy novels.
Rumor has it that the 'L.A. Candy' trilogy is in production to be turned into a movie with LC acting as executive producer!
9. Blake Lively - Not only is she our favorite ‘Gossip Girl’ she made Vogue’s Top 10 Best Dressed of the year!
Look for Blake as the face of Chanel’s new handbag collection!
8. Glee Cast -
Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Mark Sailling, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Amber Riley, Lea Michele & Cory Monteith
This talented cast has come a long way since a year ago and have held a special place in our hearts! Each cast member has flourished in Hollywood with new projects outside of Glee and they have all continued to keep us dancing and singing along with the show!
7. Emma Stone - Emma is fast becoming the new "it" girl in Hollywood.
Emma has become the fresh face of coming-of-age teenage flicks!
She has three movies coming out this year; each one getting lots of buzz already!
Emma gets an "Easy A" from us!
6. Rihanna - Rihanna has had a good year!
"Love The Way You Lie" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 list this year, making it her fifth!
She is fearless in fashion and exudes sex appeal!
5. Cast of Harry Potter -
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint
The Harry Potter Book series took the world by storm when they first came out and then when the books were made into movies it just elevated it all to a whole new level!
Never have we seen such a long-running book turned movie series that kept its fan-base, and actually gained more as the years went by.
The cast of Harry Potter will go on to do amazing things and we will miss them as their signature characters.
4. Katy Perry - Katy Perry exploded on the music scene in 2008 with the racy but catchy hit single, “I Kissed A Girl.”
And life has only gotten better since then! Performing and presenting at the Grammy Awards and at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
Oh, and she married the adorably, hilarious British actor/comedian Russell Brand (#37 on our list)!
We heart you Katy! Keep the albums coming!
3. Taylor Swift - America's sweetheart and pop-country singer is bubbly and gorgeous!
She's on our favorites list because we just can't help but love that she's quirky and her songs are catchy! She's not what only a few have done -- cross the country/mainstream border!
Now that's talent!
2. Selena Gomez - This Disney star is everywhere!
She is a multi-talented actress and we will definitely be seeing more of her in the years to come!
She's got style like not many others her age and almost always makes it on our best dressed lists...that's a good thing, since she just launched her own clothing line earlier this year too!
1. Justin Bieber - Justin Bieber’s amazing success story and adorable charm helped to put him at the top of our list!
Justin has 4 of the top 10 most-viewed Youtube videos of 2010 and his video 'Baby,' featuring Ludacris, is still the number one most-watched video on Youtube of all time!
Oh yeah! Bieber Fever is here to stay!
Check out Justin at the 'Megamind' premiere with Will Ferell
