January first means two things to most people: Hangovers and resolutions to never drink again. Or resolutions to never consume something again, be it alcohol, chocolate, entire pies in one sitting…whatever. But a lot of the folks who make up our VH1 family look at the bigger picture when they make their resolutions, and we’re excited that they shared them with us in time for the new year. So check out our list and see who’s resolving to “show their inner rock star,” who plans to give back to their community, and who didn’t make any resolutions at all.
Gloria Govan, Basketball Wives L.A.: My New Year’s resolution is to stop being late, and to work on being on time and making deadlines. lol
Malaysia Pargo, Basketball Wives L.A.: To follow my first mind always…

As an outsider watching a show, we never quite know what scenes are really “real,” what’s staged to help move the plot along, or whether or not certain trips our casts take are truly enjoyable for all involved parties. (cough*Basketball Wives*cough) At the very least, we now know what scenes were most fun for the stars who were in them. We asked the casts of several of our shows which moments were their favorites to film, and the answers are surprising. (Seems like that Basketball Wives L.A. Hawaii trip was more fun than it seemed!) Read on to find out how they answered.

So much has happened in the past year that even just thinking back six months feels like a lifetime ago. But for a lot of our VH1 stars, 2011 was the year that they hit it big and their shows premiered on the network and they were beamed into our homes. When I asked some of our talent what the best news of the year was to them, almost no one went with actual news news, rather, everyone here celebrated their personal and professional triumphs, and rightly so. This is a successful group, and they’re proud of their accomplishments. Let’s see what they all had to say about the best thing they heard all year. (And of course there had to be a smartass in the group…OLIVIA.)

It’s been an interesting task, compiling these year-end lists from the stars on our network. No doubt they’re an eclectic group with vastly different tastes and interests, but one thing that unites them all is their love of Twitter. Each and every one of the stars we’ve spoken to have a Twitter account and follow it religiously, which is why we love their responses when we asked them who their favorite person is on the social site. It may not surprise you to hear that @Oprah was a biggie amongst our stars, but even more popular than Opes herself? Reverend Run (@RevRunWisdom). Check out our full list of favorites below.

We’ve spent the past few weeks preparing for the end of the year by gathering some best-of lists from all of our favorite VH1 stars. We’ll be rolling out their answers each day, and we love seeing what good taste everyone has. Today’s topic: The Best Song Of 2011. If we conclude anything from this list, it’s that everyone loves Adele, Beyonce, and Rihanna.

December is full of “Best Of” lists, usually written by critics, but here at VH1, we’re doing things a little differently. For the next week and a half, we’re going to be rolling out the Best Of lists as determined by our talent, the people you love to watch on our shows, and we’ve asked them all what they think were the best films, songs, and people of the past year. Our first category? Favorite film. Check after the jump to see what all your favorite stars from Basketball Wives, Love And Hip Hop, Why Am I Still Single?!, Tough Love, and more, have to say about their favorite flicks, and stay tuned all week for even more lists. We’ve been surprised by the responses so far, and we think you will be too. But one thing is for sure…everyone loved Bridesmaids.

October is finally upon us, which means just one thing: Halloween. Time to dress like a crazy person and not get judged for it. (Unless you’re in a contest, in which case you
will get judged for it, and possibly rewarded.)
We here at the VH1 blog know that our network has a rich cast of characters to choose from and that some of you will be getting together with your friends and dressing as the Mob Wives, the Basketball Wives, or even that old fave, Bret Michaels, as you should. (Last year, if you’ll recall, we received over 100 Bret Michaels photos, will he be as popular this year?) Send any photos of you and your friends in your best VH1 gear, don your Non-F’N Factor shirts, your bandannas, hell, BE a pop up bubble from Pop Up Video: we want to see it all. (Some other ideas: Lynn Patridge! LisaRaye in any of her all-white ensembles! Dr. Drew! Beverly Hills Fabulous star Elgin Charles! ANYONE from My Big Friggin’ Wedding! The possibilities are endless.)
Submit your photos to VH1Submit@gmail.com for a chance to appear on the blog. And for suggestions on how best to dress and act (sort of) like a mob wife, watch our favorite video from Funny Or Die above for some hilarious tips.

It’s always fun to follow celebrities on Twitter, but here at VH1, our on-air talent has taken Tweeting and turned it into an art form. Take the cast of Mob Wives, who went from not even having Twitter accounts seven weeks ago to having more than 100,000 followers now. Or the ladies from Basketball Wives, who keep us updated on all their t-shirt drama, even when the cameras aren’t rolling. (Not to mention the crossover love these women have for one another’s shows, which is kind of sweet.)
The point is, you should be following them, and to make it easy, we’ve taken the liberty of doing all the Twitter dirty work so you can follow everyone on the network just by checking our our comprehensive VH1 Twitterpedia below. Need to know the handles of the folks from the last season of Celebrity Rehab or You’re Cut Off? We’ve got all that and more. Check it. Click it. Re-Tweet it.
