Good Week/Bad Week is where we take a look back at the rich and famous that had a bad week in Celebland, if for nothing else, just to make ourselves feel better!
To mark the end of a turbulent year for some, and a more-than-fantastic year for others, we’re changing it up a bit and presenting Good Year/Bad Year… Brace yourselves.
Good Year
Robert Sheehan (and the rest of the Love/Hate gang)
What a show. If you haven’t already tuned in to one of RTÉ’s biggest shows of all time, or you weren’t lucky enough to nab a boxset from Santa this year, you’ve missed out. Depicting the seedy underworld of our nation’s capital, the third series of the blockbuster show had the country enthralled. The handsome Robert Sheehan and his infamous blue hoodie probably made the show for us.
The beautiful Robert Sheehan
Harry Styles
Not only have boyband One Direction had their best year yet, but floppy-haired crooner Styles has fallen in love. Bets are on as to how long Haylor will last into 2013. Some of us think they could be in for the long haul…
Ah, young love…
Imelda May
Our favourite Irish artist celebrated a little bundle of joy this year. It doesn’t get much cuter than this…

Victoria Beckham
Love her or hate her, you have to admit she is a very successful lady. Vicky B’s fashion line featured prominently on this year’s runways, her husband is getting more gorgeous by the day (if that’s even possible), she has four very talented kids (Romeo and Burberry anyone?), rumour has it she could be designing clothes for a very famous royal baby-to-be and her former girlband Spice Girls launched their musical this year. 2012 was a very good year for Victoria…
Bad Year
Rihanna
Where do we start? Yes, a world-famous artist with millions in the bank but an on-off relationship with a certain abusive ex, incessant photo-sharing on Twitter of her most intimate moments and a spill-all interview with Oprah has a lot of people thinking 2013 could tell all for the Caribbean beauty. Some might say she’s a mirror image of Britney before her breakdown, we’re hoping RiRi gets her act together before it’s too late. 2012? We’re going to say ‘Bad Year’ for Ri…
Ah Ri…
Lindsay Lohan
Unlike our hope for Rihanna, we know Lilo’s lost the plot. Owing money, considering a job in a strip-club and adding notes to her criminal record like it’s a daily journal, 2012 didn’t spell out a good year for Lohan. Bring back the fresh-faced teenage star! Get that girl some help…
Tulisa
Oh Tulisa. The X Factor judge began the year with a bang as she won a court case against her ex who released a sex tape of her to the world’s media. But things just went downhill from there. A flop of an album, a trail of fashion disasters and being constantly overshadowed by hot star Nicole Scherzinger on X Factor this season, we think Tulisa will have to up her game if she is to prove her worth for next year’s talent show series.
We’re putting this get-up out there as one of the worst…
Katie Holmes
Probably one of Celebland’s biggest, most surprising and most documented divorces in the history of celebrity… Holmes split from husband and father of her daughter Suri, Tom Cruise, in July. Rumour had it Tom’s religion, Scientology, played a part in the couple’s marital breakdown. A tough few months for Katie ensued but the mum-of-one is getting her life back on track. Having Suri enrolled in one of the world’s most impressive schools and becoming the face of Bobbi Brown is just the start of it…
