So here it is. My choices for the top 10 news stories of 2010. These are the news stories that I either find the most interesting, controversial or caught the most attention in this blog site. Here is the list below.

1. Fans get together to support Conan O’ Brien and protest against NBC – In the beginning of the year, fans of Conan O’ Brien decided to get together online and in person in the real world to help stick up for their hero. A fan created that poster pictured above and started a facebook campaign to do rallys in NYC and Los Angeles to protest against NBC. The rally’s were such a success, that Conan himself responded to their support by going to the rally’s himself in return. Conan obviously has a new show on TBS aired every night at 11 p.m. This news story makes no. 1, ’cause I too am Conan’s big fan.
2. Michael Douglas announced throat cancer – Earlier in the year, actor Michael Douglas announced big news that shocked the world that he has throat cancer. I certainly hopes he fights this. My heart goes to him and his family. Feel better, Michael!
3. Actor Dennis Hopper dies – Such a shame he’s gone. He’s been a favorite actor of mine for a long time. I’ve always admired his work.
4. Former child star Corey Haim dies – Another sad loss this year.
5. Comic legend Leslie Neilsen dies – Another sad loss this year, an actor I’ve always respected.
6. Zack Snyder hired to direct the next Superman flick – This news came out of no where, it should be no surprise to anybody but Zack being picked created a lot of controversy. Honestly, I think it’s the right choice and looking forward to seeing how Zack is going to make the next Superman flick.
7. The Who plays the Superbowl – A child abuse organization desperately tried to get the Who off the Superbowl because of Pete Townshend’s child pornography arrest. Well the organization failed. The NFL was smart not to listen to them but were committed for the Who to play the Superbowl. The Who played the gig with no problems.
8. Megadeth’s, Dave Mustaine buries the hatchet with Metallica and Slayer to play the Big 4 shows in Europe – Dave Mustaine finally decided that holding long grudges is old and tiresome. He had a change of heart with both Metallica and Slayer which he have been feuding with both bands for years. The feuds are officially over and done with. No more drama. It’s now back to good times and good music! METAL! \m/
9. Metal legend, Ronnie James Dio dies – A sad loss that shocked the world of music. Ronnie was a great talent and he will be missed. He died young. Gone too soon.
10. Soundgarden returns – Seattle grunge legends, Soundgarden returns this year. It all started with Tom Morello reuniting the band TAD at a small club in Seattle, and that’s what inspired the Soundgarden reunion. Soundgarden already played a few gigs at small clubs instead of arena shows. No word if the band plans on sticking together for a new record and full time tour but all we can do is cross our fingers on that.

That’s all! Enjoy!
