Woman of the Year

Not an easy choice, since each of the stars in the nomination has its own "zest" and a large army of fans. There have been ups and downs in their lives this year, and the way they dealt with them is worthy of respect.

Ksenia Sobchak … This year we saw her different. Not only harsh and ironic, but also tender and vulnerable. Forget about "little bastards". Now Ksenia has become a mother herself. And although the star quickly began to appear after giving birth, a new stage has definitely begun in her life.

TO Kim Kardashian fortune this year was not always favorable. The star has had quite a few major successes (like over $ 40 million in annual income and the title of "Highest Paid TV Star") and some epic problems. A robbery in Paris, a nervous breakdown of a spouse … However, the stars do not give up and try to support each other.

Angelina Jolie this year she was shooting a new project in Cambodia, scared us with terrible weight loss, while continuing to act as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, and in September she was not afraid to leave her husband and filed for divorce. Angelina is acting decisively, she intends to achieve custody of the children and start a new life by moving to London.

Former model and socialite Melania trump this year she supported her husband in the fight for the presidency and will soon officially become the first lady of the United States. Her appearance in the White House will go down in history if only because Melania became famous by posing nude on the covers of magazines. Columnists predict a completely bright future for Melania and are confident that Americans will love her. And in Russia, Mrs. Trump already has a lot of fans.

Olga Buzova hopes to become a free woman this year. For some women, the gap becomes the fuel for personal growth, and Olga presents her situation that way. And although the public was already tired of the information noise around Buzova, interest in the TV presenter allowed her to earn large sums of money on advertising goods on her Instagram.

Letting go is the happiness of the strong. Svetlana Bondarchuk managed to survive the divorce from Fyodor Bondarchuk, with whom they were connected for 25 years of marriage and two children. According to some rumors, Svetlana had an affair even before the breakup. According to others, the editor-in-chief of Hello! I found a replacement for her husband without any problems, but so far she prefers intrigue.

We are in the editorial office - for Ksenia Sobchak. Whom do you choose?

Man of the Year

Donald Trump in the past year amazed everyone. Running for the US presidency, the billionaire, as he admitted, did not seriously count on success - analysts predicted a victory for Hillary Clinton. However, now the White House will be hosted by Mr. Trump, along with his wife Melania. And we hope that the new president will support the course of rapprochement with Russia.

Leader of the "Leningrad" group Sergey Shnurov started the year with a gorgeous video for the song "Exhibit", produced a couple more masterpieces, changed soloists, became "Person of the Year" according to GQ and ended with the video "Let's start celebrating." And Sergey also tried himself as a TV presenter. Creativity Shnurov can be called whatever you like, but it must be admitted that he is a talented and far-sighted man.

For Brad Pitt a special nomination "Suddenly Single Man" could be created. But let's not focus on personal problems. Recall that Pitt was noted in the tabloids not only by breaking with Jolie and fighting for children, but also by rumors of an affair with French actress Marion Cotillard during the filming of the movie "Allies".

Parting of the Year

2016 proved to be a challenging time for many couples. And few managed to overcome difficult moments. Among those who could not resist:

The Bondarchuk couple announced her divorce in March. The couple lived in marriage for 25 years, and from the outside it seemed that harmony reigned between the spouses, which nothing would break.

"Getting married at eighteen and living together until ninety, like my grandparents, is probably already impossible. Fedor and I did not pass this exam," Svetlana explained. Later it turned out that Bondarchuk is in love with the actress Paulina Andreeva. Svetlana, they say, also does not suffer from loneliness.

In May, the actress Amber heard accused actor Johnny Depp in domestic violence and filed for divorce. Fans of Johnny, who is considered one of the kindest Hollywood actors, simply could not believe that he was able to raise a hand to a woman.

For several months, Hurd gave out to reporters shocking details of a marriage that lasted just over a year. Johnny was silent. In August, the divorce proceedings took place, during which the actors signed an agreement. According to its terms, Depp will pay the ex-wife $ 7 million in installments by the end of 2018. Moreover, Hurd promises to donate this money to charity.

Alas, just one conflict put an end to the relationship of the couple and provoked a loud scandal. Now Lindsay is trying to forget Yegor and is organizing a camp for Syrian refugees in Turkey.

Mom of the Year

In the past year, many stars have experienced the joy of motherhood for the first time. And some preferred to hide their good news to the last. But all the secret still becomes apparent. Who deserves the title "Mom of the Year"?

Yulia Snigir made an excellent career in cinema (both Russian and Hollywood), but this year she devoted herself to motherhood. In March, the actress gave birth to her first child. The boy, whose father was Yevgeny Tsyganov, was named Fedor.

Keeping privacy is becoming fashionable. And the singer Pelageya especially got used to it. In the summer, she married hockey player Ivan Telegin, in August there were reports that the artist was in the second trimester of pregnancy. At the end of November, it became known that Pelageya gave birth, and back in October. And it still adheres to a strict secrecy regime.

At the end of November, another star delighted the audience. Mila Kunis gave birth to a son. The boy was named by the Slavic name Dimitri Portwood Kutcher. Looks like Mila herself chose the name, and Ashton Kutcher liked it. We will remind, the couple is also raising two-year-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle.

And of course, the most discussed in the Russian media was an interesting position Ksenia Sobchak … The star intrigued for a long time, giving reasons for the most incredible rumors (false belly, surrogate mother, skillful prank). She appeared in outfits that either emphasized the waistline or hid the changed shape. The blog often published pictures in which Sobchak was captured quite slender. At the same time, Ksenia could not resist the temptation to play nude for Tatler.

On November 18, Sobchak gave birth to a son. But the intrigue continues - the boy's name is kept in strict confidence. And the happy mom herself already leads a very active lifestyle, combining caring for the baby with going out. We vote for her in this nomination, do you?

"Bachelor of the Year"

Leonardo DiCaprio - lucky. This year his cherished dream came true - the actor finally received an Oscar. But in his personal life, the star is either unlucky, or Leo simply does not want to do it seriously. He is still a bachelor, does not talk about his hobbies and does not even think about the wedding.

Alexey Vorobyov this year he became the main character of the show "The Bachelor" and even shot a video clip of a wedding theme. On this and calmed down. And although the artist assures that he is ripe for marriage and would like to start a family, this is more like a PR - Alexei is in no hurry to get down to business.

Singer Egor Creed at the beginning of the year he spoke about the affair with the singer Nyusha. The artist admitted that for him it was true love. And it seems that after breaking up, he is still not ready for a new relationship. Recently, he even presented a song "Little so little" with a complaint about the lack of decent girls. Looks like the guy is asking for help.

The regiment of Hollywood suitors this year has arrived, and those on whom no one had hoped. After breaking up with his wife on Brad Pitt drew the attention of many star ladies, from Jennifer Garner to Britney Spears. The girls openly say that they would not mind getting closer to the actor. Pitt himself does not seem to be ready for this yet.

Johnny Depp after a scandalous divorce, he was also automatically included in the list of hunters for famous men. So far, the actor is a little withdrawn and tries to go through an unpleasant experience. Unlike Pitt, Johnny doesn't have a line of celebrity ladies behind him, although there are rumors that Depp is dating Angelina Jolie from time to time. However, the actors have long been linked by friendship.

"Cleo" was not easy to choose, but we are for Brad Pitt. What are your sympathies?

Scandal of the Year

Singer Madonna this year, she diligently shocked her with unusual costumes and new art projects. However, none of this can compare with the noise that went up in the media during the singer's trial with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. The star's son Rocco refused to live with his mother, and in the end the judges came to a decision that it was better for the young man to live with his father in London. Towards the end of the year, the young man presented his parents with a surprise - he was detained by the police, the boy was found to have marijuana. The guy was interviewed at the police station. So far Rocco is behaving decently.

Another problem in the relationship between fathers and children led to divorce Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and a loud scandal. Angelina accused her husband of child abuse and drug use. Several investigations have been carried out, but no serious violations by Brad have been found. Recently, the actors began fighting for custody of the children, and Pitt hinted at Jolie's inadequacy. But they say that Angelina has several trump cards in stock that can literally destroy Brad.

Kim Kardashianlike Helen Mirren, with a pure heart he can say: "2016 is a big byaka". Everything went smoothly at first, but in October Kim was the victim of a robbery in Paris … Armed criminals took away jewelry worth several million dollars and seriously frightened the girl. The robbers have not yet been found. And some fans still suspect Kim's robbery was staged.

Philip Kirkorov's scandal with Didier Marouani can be called a "big mess". The French musician accused Kirkorov of plagiarism and demanded compensation. Philip Bedrosovich did not accept the claim, accused the musician of extortion and turned to the police. Marouani and his lawyer were arrested but later released. Didier said he was preparing another lawsuit - for libel. And music critics, meanwhile, note that Marouani is by no means an innocent creature, it seems that the French artist at one time also did not disdain borrowing.

However, everything pales against the background of the most shocking sports trial. Russian athletes this year were not admitted to the Rio Olympics … In November last year, the IAAF disqualified the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) due to a doping scandal, after which the Russians were suspended from international competitions. In early July, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and 68 Russian athletes tried to challenge the IAAF's decision in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). However, the claim was dismissed.

What really amazed you? Us - a doping scandal.

Sportswoman of the Year

Yanu Yegoryan today they call it "The Pride of Russia". And it's hard to argue with that. Two gold medals at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The title of the athlete of the year in Russia. Now the fencer has only one height left: victory in the individual championship at the continental and world championships.

Artistic gymnastics star Aliya Mustafina definitely can't call 2016 a bad year. She won gold in the uneven bars, silver in the team event and bronze in the individual all-around in Rio. She let slip about the suspension of her career, in November she got married, and in December she received the flattering title of "Sportswoman of the Year" according to Glamor. And Aliya is also called a girl with a bewitching look.

Maria Sharapova was one of the first victims of the doping scandal. In January, she did not undergo a doping test, because she did not know that the drug she was using, meldonium, was blacklisted. Initially, the International Tennis Federation tribunal required a four-year disqualification, but extenuating circumstances were later taken into account. Maria will be able to return officially to court from April 26, 2017.

Margarita Mamun once again reminded the world that it is difficult to compete with Russian women in rhythmic gymnastics. The gold medal in Rio in the individual all-around is a weighty confirmation. Luck smiled at Margarita not only in her career - in early December her lover, swimmer Alexander Sukhorukov, made her a marriage proposal at the Olympic ball.

Yelena Isinbayeva planned to take part, possibly in her last Olympics. Alas … The star was not allowed to participate in the competition because of the doping scandal. Elena fought bravely and hoped to the last. But hopes were not justified.
