Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve: Ke$ha resolves not to become a d---bag
Dick Clark, Ryan Seacrest, Jenny McCarthy, and a reported 1 million revelers welcomed 2011 from Times Square in New York City last night. ABC’s live broadcast of Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve boasted a classic boy-band bash, with the well-preserved Backstreet Boys and the New Kids on the Block collaborating for a medley of their greatest hits, but it was wild-child Ke$ha who stole the show. Performing her hit song, “Tik Tok,” she literally rode Santa Clause, whacked what appeared to be an Easter Bunny pinata, and urged the crowd to “make 2011 our bitch!” Later, on the ABC stage with Seacrest and the boy-band headliners, Ke$ha responded to Seacrest’s question about resolutions with a quick, “Not become a d—–bag.” Nice. (I think that’s actually in the third verse of “Auld Lang Syne.”)
Ke$ha’s irreverence was refreshing. Poor Jenny McCarthy was saddled with crowd-duty, and it was actually impressive hearing her sell lines like, “I am so excited to be down here,” and “I wish I could wake up every morning to this.” Sure you do, Jenny. Which made Seacrest’s under-his-breath line so perfect at the end of the evening, as McCarthy prepared to sign-off: “She wants a drink so badly.”
Other highlights — intentional and unintentional — of Dick Clark’s annual shindig included:
– Jennifer Hudson stalking television viewers with every Weight Watcher commercial before finally belting out a killer rendition of “Feeling Good.”
– Mayor Mike Bloomberg kicking it old-school, urging the partying kids to “Be there or be square.” Holla.
– Dick Clark snogging his wife after the ball dropped.
– McCarthy teasing a uniformed Marine — from New York, no less — that they might kiss at midnight, only to end up smooching what appeared to be her new Boston boyfriend instead.
Happy New Years, folks. (Thank you for correcting my English, Clarence Beeks.) Have a great 2011, and let Ke$ha’s high-minded goal rub off a little on all of us.
What did you think of the show? And what year do we have to wait for until cheap-glasses manufacturers will finally give up trying to shoehorn the new year’s digits on to a set of novelty frames?

Heavy snowfall in Europe hits travellers from India
CHENNAI/MUMBAI: Snowfall in UK and Europe have started to impact travel plans of holidayers in the Christmas and New Year season.
British Airways' direct flight to London on Sunday and Monday was cancelled because Heathrow airport was closed. Lufthansa also cancelled its service from Chennai to Frankfurt on Monday after weather worsened there. Air India and Kingfisher cancelled their London-bound flights and asked passengers to remain in touch with their staff for flight updates. British Airways said it was able to operate limited flights to Heathrow.
Besides London and Frankfurt other travel destinations — Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels — were also struggling to clear passengers. Airline officials in Mumbai said Indian passengers were also stuck in Belgium.
Most passengers disembarked only with their cabin baggage. They were freezing as the airport authorities did not allow them to take check-in baggage. Transit visas were arranged after a long wait, said an official from a private airline.
Travel agent Jay Bhatia said many NRIs who were planning to spend their Christmas breaks in India were also stranded. "One of my customers, a student studying in the UK, was due to join her family for a holiday in Rajasthan. While the family has already reached Udaipur, she is still in London, waiting for the snow to thaw," said Bhatia.
Airport sources said services were resuming slowly from London and that a flight had departed from London to Chennai with stranded passengers. A return service may be operated to London.
