2010 "Celebs" in the news

We're just now sidling timidly, but with some relief, towards the end of 2010.

Some well-known names spring to mind from each Sun sign, as having "made a mark" on public consciousness this year - for good or ill. I've picked names of "celebrities" with natal Sun in each of the 12 zodiac signs, who've been in the news more than usual at some point during 2010. There are dozens more, and especially more women of course, but these are names that immediately sprang to mind. For the sake of balance I really am sorry so many males sprang first!





ARIES ~ Piers Morgan - is to take over where Larry King left off hosting a nightly TV interview show. Why? I've asked that question myself, more than once. One would think there was nobody in the USA capable of doing this American show - there must be at least 20 possibles who would have jumped at the chance.










TAURUS ~ Didn't notice many Sun Taurus types making a big splash this year. George Clooney and Pierce Brosnan then - I've seen both recently in movies on TV - that's why their names "jumped out". They do seem to have a similar kind of affable easy-going personality - as far as their public persona goes anyway. (Taurus is ruled by Venus - they are both VERY pretty!)









GEMINI ~ (Sir)Paul McCartney was one of 2010's recipients of Kennedy Center Honors, as well as getting himself engaged, again.













CANCER ~ Prince William of the UK ~ got himself engaged to be married.












LEO ~ Patrick Swayze ~ lost his battle with cancer.












VIRGO ~ Charlie Sheen ~ Fell off the wagon.....again (so un-Virgo!)













LIBRA ~ Became ill, now fighting for survival.












SCORPIO ~ Larry King ~ hanging up his suspenders + see under ARIES.












SAGITTARIUS ~ Taylor Swift ~ young country singer who seems to win every award known to man.











CAPRICORN ~ Mel Gibson ~ being Mel Gibson.....again.













AQUARIUS ~ Sarah Palin presenting her TV show "Alaska" and generally poking her nose into right-wing politics at every opportunity (with a view to the 2012 election one wonders?)

AND
Neil Diamond very belatedly inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - Yipeee!
Oprah Winfrey in the news too - another Kennedy Center Honoree this year, and leaving her TV show to actually own her own TV network! I've never seen a single show of hers, so can't comment, but she obviously knows how to do stuff, including make money - and, saving grace, give it away sometimes!








PISCES ~ Rupert Murdoch ~ Media mogul, creator of Faux News, still trying to brainwash the world.











PS ~~~ I can't close without this reminder of another well-deserved Kennedy Center Honoree of 2010 - my favourite country star of all time: Merle Haggard.....back, full circle, to the beginning of the zodiac with another Aries Sun. His song If We Make It Through December is very appropriate for our times, although written decades ago:



If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see falling snow.

If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine.

Got laid off down at the factory
And their timing's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I've been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl.

I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of the year
My little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here.

If we make it through december
Everything's gonna be all right I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And i shiver when I see the falling snow.

If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine.
