The Best of 2008

Thanks to New York's Daily News, they have put together some of this year's most memorable quotes from the mouths of, shall we say, some of our favorite celebs:

"You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it's kind of crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I'm so moody all the time. I know I couldn't be able to run a country 'cause I'd be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, you know?" - Brooke Hogan on her reality show.

"Jesus was persecuted, and I'm going to get persecuted, you know?" - Heidi Montag to USA Today.

"I cried my eyelashes off." - Oprah Winfrey on Barack Obama's win in November.

"This song is for the emotionally retarded. You might know a few people who fall into that category. God knows I do." - Madonna shortly after her divorce became public.

"Somebody needs to step up and get this young woman into some quality care - and I do not apologize one whit, not one second, for trying to make this happen." - Dr. Phil on Britney Spears.

"Chace is built like a porcelain doll. I don't even know if he bleeds. He might have been crafted by Mattel. He has, like, the teen-idol genome. He's...beautiful." - Penn Badgley on costar Chace Crawford.

"I think it's really artsy. It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie. She's so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you're like 'Okay.'" - Miley Cyrus on her controversial photo shoot for Vanity Fair.

Dr. Phil Hit By a Truck: It's a Great Day After All!

Dr. Phil, the pontificating blowhard who tries to tell everyone what to do and is supremely annoying while doing it, got hit by a truck. Unfortunately he survived.

TV self-help guru Dr. Phil McGraw was hit by a truck while he was chatting to fans, by phone, on a syndicated radio show. Dr. Phil was a guest on DJ Kidd Kraddick's show on Wednesday when he was "sideswiped by some truck."

Speaking about the accident on Thursday, McGraw joked, "I'm fine... He stopped and of course he got out of the car and he goes, 'Oh my God, I've hit Dr. Phil.'"

Dude, just get back in the car, back it up, and try, try again.

Charitable Heather Mills Barely Bid On at Auction

Heather Mills, dubbed by 'Dancing With the Stars' a "charity campaigner" as her description, hit a road block selling herself and dance partner Jonathan Roberts for charity.

Heather and Jon attended the Starlight Starbright event, and what was being auctioned was a night with the two of them. The bidding started at $10,000, and there were no takers. The 'Dancing' couple then took the stage to garner some interest, and still no takers. The auctioneer then cut the opening bid in half, which I'm sure was quite embarassing for the Brit babe.

Dr. Phil took it upon himself to start the bidding, and waved his bid number. Unfortunately for Dr. Phil, no one else felt that sorry for her or wanted to spend an evening with Heather....there weren't any other bidders!

Perhaps good old Dr. Phil can spend the time he won giving Heather advice on how to win friends and influence people, because she needs a little help in that department.
