And another year bites the dust!

It’s the juice that makes it juicy…so the team here at FABNOB headquarters recently compiled our Top 10 Juicy Moments of 2008!

1. Share markets tumbled, and the media lapped it up concocting dramatic catchphrases such as “global economic meltdown,” “credit crunch,” and our favourite...“fat cats on Wall Street!”

2. In a case of “life imitating art imitating life,” Californication star David Duchovny showed us that the truth is down there and entered rehab for sex addiction.

3. Teenage party-boy Corey Worthington told A Current Affair host Leila McKinnon where to shove her condescending attitude by refusing to take off his shades; “I’ll say sorry but I’m not taking off my glasses…”

4. Stephanie Rice’s mum ended speculation her daughter might rekindle her romance with fellow swimmer Eamon Sullivan by making the harshest dig of the year; “I know what Stephanie’s future plans are and they certainly don’t include Eamon.” Snap!

5. Miley Cyrus proved that the only thing more annoying than a precocious 15 year-old is a precocious 15 year-old with an iPhone camera! Put some clothes on, go to school, and fu@k off!

6. Cricketer Andrew Symonds was axed from the Australian team after missing a team meeting because he'd “gone fishing.” Worst cover story for a hangover, ever!

7. Jack Chambers won So You Thing You Can Dance Australia and Rhys Uhlich won Make Me A Supermodel Australia dispelling the cliché “nice guys finish last” when it comes to reality TV.

8. Melbourne’s Herald-Sun newspaper gave literal meaning to the term “gutter journalism” by publishing pictures and video footage of TV star Andrew O’Keefe’s drunken escapades in a Chapel Street gutter. We used to think Andy was a tool…but now we kind of like the guy!

9. Singer Lady GaGa lip-synched and bumbled her way through her gig on Australia's Sunrise TV program. The show’s producers later claimed the singer had “breached” their policy on live music performances. Aha…

10. China’s Olympic Games were undermined by revelations that the Opening Ceremony fireworks were faked with CGI animation. It was also revealed that the nine-year old girl who sung at the Opening Ceremony wasn’t really singing. Apparently the real singer was yanked due to crooked teeth!

Yep, 2008 was a juicy year! Let us know the moments we missed!
