Skimm'd while looking back at 2022 December 29, 2022 [Read in browser]( [theSkimm Logo] Daily Skimm [Header Image]( Skimm'd while [looking back at 2022]( The Year In News 2023 is right around the corner. But we’re still feeling ‘22. We spent midnights with [Taylor Swift](. Celeb [trials]( took over cable. We said ‘goodbye’ to [major figures](. And shipped [celeb couples](. Here are some of the biggest entertainment stories from this year: Moments that kept us glued to our phones…The Golden Globes [flopped](. The Oscars [slapped](. Little Miss [went viral](. We [Wordled](, [Worldled](, and [BeReal'd](. And worried about [West Elm Caleb]( and the [Tinder Swindler](. We don't talk about [Bruno](. But we definitely do [worry, darling](. The Try Guys [became a trio](. “[Funny Girl](” brought the drama. And [Jenna Ortega]( brought the [dance moves](. There were [sexy babies](. And [nepo babies](. We channeled Diane Keaton with our [coastal fits](. We said 'bye' to the [McRib](. And ‘hi’ to [Choco Tacos](. We debated [Pink Sauce](. But said ‘oh, stunning’ to [negroni sbagliatos](. Instagram [updates]( said ‘brb.’ But [Internet Explorer]( and the [iPod]( left for good. Adam Levine’s alleged DMs [raised eyebrows](. And [Balenciaga](’s controversy burst at the seams. Our nails [popped off](. Our money [didn't jiggle, jiggle](. And no one [loved corn]( as much as this kid. --------------------------------------------------------------- Celeb moments…Rihanna gave us a [baby]( and a [new song](. #[Kete]( came and went and turned into [PemRata](. [Bennifer]( is back. So are [Amanda Bynes]( and [Lindsay Lohan](. Bella Hadid’s name is [Bella Hadid](. [Kravis]( tied the knot three times — while Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady [untied]( theirs. [Kim]( said ‘yes’ to the Monroe dress. And gave some questionable “[work](” advice. The Try Guys addressed the [elephant]( in the room. We had [Selena Gomez]( on our minds. [Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde]( went to Victory…and it didn't pair well with [salad dressing](. Rebel Wilson [came out on top](. Lizzo launched “[Yitty](” and [fluted]( her way to [champion](. [Brandy]( dusted off her glass slippers. [Julia Fox]( became a muse. [Heidi Klum]( went for worm. And [Keke Palmer]( bumped into SNL. --------------------------------------------------------------- Moments that had us looking up words like ‘tort’...[Depp v. Heard]( — the trial nobody could avoid. It brought conversations about abuse, domestic violence, and #MeToo back to the forefront. Adnan Syed is now a[free man](. [Megan Thee Stallion]( spoke up for Black women...and got justice. Tory Lanez now faces up to [22 years in prison]( after a Los Angeles jury convicted him of shooting the artist. [Ghislaine Maxwell](is in prison. Prince Andrew lost his [HRH](. [Kevin Spacey]( said ‘not guilty’ and [won](…but faces [more charges]( in the UK. The NFL called a penalty on [Deshaun Watson](. And [Shakira’s]( hips don’t lie...but her taxes might. --------------------------------------------------------------- Sports…To retire or not to retire. That was the question this year. [Serena Williams]( announced her evolution. [Tom Brady]( did too — for 40 days. The [Golden State Warriors]( sang ‘we are the champions.’ And so did the [Las Vegas Aces]( after their first WNBA championship. The [US women’s soccer team]( scored a landmark deal. [Elena Rybakina]( and [Novak Djokovic]( celebrated Win-bledons — after he made a racket in [Australia](. The [PGA Tour and Saudi league LIV Golf]( took swings at each other. [Lia Thomas]( made waves. [Washington’s football team]( reintroduced itself — while the team’s owner is under [investigation](. [Antonio Brown]( got a pink slip. The Los Angeles Rams made it known [whose house it is](. [The MLB]( had a 99-day strikeout. And the US dominated the [Beijing Winter Olympics]( — with [diplomats]( cheering from home. There was also… --------------------------------------------------------------- The World Cup…Argentina with forward [Lionel Messi]( took home the trophy — and a $42 million prize. The team beat reigning champion France on [penalty kicks](. It’s what some are calling one of the greatest World Cup finals in history. But France’s [Kylian Mbappé]( still took home the Golden Boot. Croatia came in third after defeating [underdog Morocco](, ending its [Cinderella story](. But the tournament wasn’t without controversies. The World Cup has faced [allegations of corruption](, including in Qatar — where officials have been accused of [buying votes from FIFA officials](. There’s also been concerns surrounding [human rights abuses]( after 6,500 migrants workers died from causes including dehydration and heat exhaustion building Qatar's eight stadiums. And Qatar’s stance on [LGBTQIA+ rights]( had everyone talking. It’s something reporter [Grant Wahl]( had [criticized](, before his death at age 49 had many ([incorrectly]() suspecting foul play. --------------------------------------------------------------- Things we had on replay…[Beyoncé]( turned us into alien superstars. [Bad Bunny]( kept dragging us to the beach. [Harry]( showed us around his house. [Drake and 21 Savage]( told us it’s [our loss](. [Mr. Kendrick Lamar]( took some big steps.
