Hollywood's Worst Dressed Of 2008

"ACCESS HOLLYWOOD'S" WORST DRESSED OF 2008

There's been no lack of fashion faux-pas in the world of pop this year. That's according to "Access Hollywood's" list of the top five worst-dressed stars of 2008. "I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry leads the list with what "Access" calls her multitude of offenses. The singer admitted in a previous interview that she knows her style is quirky and she doesn't expect to see her name on a best-dressed list. Following Katy is pop-turned-country star Jessica Simpson. The 28-year-old made the list due to her new attire of flannel shirts and cut-off jean shorts. Former Spice Girl Mel B is slammed for sporting a hooded dress on the red carpet, while Beyonce's younger sister Solange is listed for a black feathered gown. Rounding out the list is the queen of pop herself, Madonna. The recently-single Material Girl made "Access Hollywood's" worst-dressed list for a green outfit she wore that resembles grass. The Louis Vuitton frock has been described as "shrubbery" and "hairy."

The Promises We Never Seem To Be Able To Keep

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS REMAIN THE SAME

The adage "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" just might apply here. A recent FranklinCovey Products New Year's Resolutions Survey shows that the top resolutions for 2009 are the same as they were for 2008. Leading the list in both years is "get out of debt or save money," followed by "lose weight," "develop a healthy habit" -- such as eating healthier foods or exercising -- and "get organized." Edging up on the list is "spend more time with family and friends," which is number five in 2009, up one from 2008. It swapped places with "develop a new skill or talent." Also inching up one spot over 2008 is "work less, play more," which is coming in at number seven. Rounding out the top ten resolutions for 2009 are "break an unhealthy habit" -- such as smoking, drinking, or overeating -- and "change employment."

The FranklinCovey Products Top Ten New Year's Resolutions For 2009

1. Get out of debt or save money

2. Lose weight

3. Develop a healthy habit (e.g. exercise or healthy eating)

4. Get organized

5. Spend more time with family and friends

HOW TO KEEP YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

New Year's resolutions are easier to make than to keep -- but you can increase your chances of success by following these tips from experts.

· Choose an obtainable goal. Resolving to look like a fashion model isn't realistic for most people, but a goal of exercising daily is quite possible to achieve, said fitness expert Lynn Bode.

· Don't choose a resolution that you've been unsuccessful at year after year. You're likely to fail.

· Ask friends and family members to help you with your resolution so you have someone to be accountable for.

· Be specific. "Vague goals are impossible to achieve," said Stephen Willis, a specialist in stress management.

· Limit the number of resolutions. One is best. Never choose more than three.

· If you fail to keep your resolution, dust yourself off and start all over again.

TOP FIVE EASIEST NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS TO KEEP

1. To not make more than one resolution (and you're done!)

2. Start smoking

3. Put on 15 pounds

4. Get into more arguments

5. To break all my resolutions
