hello
it’s me you may be all too familiar with
these stories but only because you
couldn’t stop talking about them this
year welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 pop culture stories of 2015 for
this list we’re counting down the pop
culture stories that kept the world of
buzz in 2015 for months and months at a
time
it’s way number 10 Ben Affleck and
Jennifer Garner split so other sources
are actually saying it wasn’t the
drinking and gambling but just that he’s
been super busy and she’s been feeling
neglected all good things must come to
an end man this is certainly true in
Hollywood in 2015 saw the demise of many
a celebrity couple including Gwen
Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Blake Shelton
and Miranda Lambert Halle Berry and
Olivier Martinez and Kaley Cuoco and
Ryan Sweeting just to name a few
but it’s Ben and Jen that make our list
just over a decade ago Bennifer was a
normal phrase in the lexicon of pop
culture discussion however by 2005 Ben
Affleck found love with another Jennifer
Jennifer Garner and they seemed to have
it all especially after their family
grew to five have never seen just the
pure joy unfortunately one day after
their tenth anniversary the mr. and mrs.
announced their impending divorce they
wanted to wait until the last day of
school which apparently was Monday which
fit in perfectly with ten years in one
day from there you broke our hearts Jen
and Ben but there’s always hope for an
emotional reunion
number nine the launch and fail of title
right now they write in a story puss we
need to write the story myself if you
ask jay-z about his latest business
venture called tidal acquired in March
of 2015 he will probably mention that it
represents the future of streaming music
as well as something about the dope high
fidelity audio with all due respect
Ahava he and his big business corporate
pals haven’t exactly connected with the
younger demographic whether it’s due to
the heightened monthly premium fee or
just the concept of how most millenials
are regular people for that matter
actually listen to music I think it’s a
cool idea but I wouldn’t want to pay for
much like Hillary Clinton tidal brands
itself as something for the people with
the hashtag title for all however the
business doesn’t seem to understand how
consumers live out their daily normal
lives
number eight deflategate Brady looking
sluggish again today not sure what his
problem is then lately not definitely
not looking as strong and barrel as he
has it’s always been cute for the
average sports Roop to rip on Tom Brady
and the Patriots sometimes for
legitimate reasons and sometimes for
rather stupid reasons but all hell broke
loose when the Indianapolis Colts
accused the future Super Bowl champs of
cheating during the AFC Championship in
January of 2015 and the New England
Patriots are back in the Superbowl again
sure there are probably some bigger
concerns within the NFL itself most
notably players beating on their wives
but for several months Tom Brady became
the focus of unhealthy obsessions for
his unwillingness to succumb to pressure
and continuing accusations about his
part in the tampering of footballs and
guess what he won I dealt with them the
best way that I know how and certainly I
have so much support from family and
friends
Brady beat the damn NFL and Commissioner
Roger Goodell so all that’s left for him
to do is walk on water
or maybe just win another couple Super
Bowls the greatest quarterback in the
world man
number seven Taylor Swift versus Apple
in 2014 the biggest pop star in the
world
removed her catalogue from Spotify and
much took the surprise of Apple music
this past summer Taylor Swift looked at
the details of their three-month trial
plan and essentially said oh hell no we
artists need to get paid which she
speaks people listen that point was made
quite clear on Sunday when she took on
tech giant Apple it’s not hard to
imagine a group of Apple executives
having heart palpitations and by the
following day the Apple plan had been
revised Apple music will pay artists for
streaming even during customers free
trial period and just like that it was
resolved tape that’s power it’s a lesson
to live by don’t steal from others and
Apple reaped the benefits of their new
terms as Swift decided to make her new
album available for streaming just as
more dates were announced for her
massive 1989 World Tour
number six Charlie Sheen’s HIV reveal
I’m here to admit that I am in fact HIV
positive coming from a Hollywood legacy
and once TVs highest-paid actor Charlie
Sheen has been in the public eye for
much of his life do you have any sense
of right and wrong probably not how was
dinner the spotlight turned towards him
even more glaringly in late 2015 when he
disclosed that he’d been diagnosed with
HIV four years earlier and that he’d
been blackmailed into paying out
millions of dollars to keep the story
quiet who after an sexual encounter went
into your bathroom and with a cellphone
took an image of your antiretroviral
medication that’s correct yeah and then
threatened to sell that image to the
tabloids yes though Sheen had been known
for his bad-boy ways and an extravagant
lifestyle filled with women and
addictions the reveal made headlines
around the world
with mixed reactions but sometimes you
live a life that’s out of balance it has
consequences it done while Sheen said he
doesn’t expect to become the face of the
disease he did say he hopes to lessen
the stigma of HIV AIDS in the public eye
and hopefully with with what we’re doing
today others may come forward and say
thanks charlie thanks for thanks for
kicking the door open you know number
five the new Star Wars film
when you started a new Star Wars film
directed by JJ Abrams just the thought
alone inspired millions of mind boners
ass being an awakening have you felt it
but when a new trailer was released
during Monday Night Football in October
2015
millions of relationships had to be
reanalyzed as grown men and women
watched their significant others
transform into children in real time
sure there’s always some type of
epidemic or war to be concerned about
but you can’t blame those who take joy
in the latest fantasy story set in the
world created by George Lucas Julia in
fact the best part of Star Wars is
watching people freak out over new
footage all joking aside the story of
the late Daniel Fleetwood a lifelong
Star Wars fan who got to see the movie
before he died of cancer proved just how
powerful cinema can be today Disney made
his final dream come true his grateful
wife wrote on Facebook a wonderful
present that means so much to a man who
will not be with us much longer may the
force be with you Daniel number four
saying goodbye to late night you’re
married is that right you have a family
my wife is dead I’m sorry to hear that
high five you don’t know what you got
till it’s gone and in 2015
late night TV lost both David Letterman
and Jon Stewart sure they’re not dead
but each provided a certain sense of
security for viewers on a nightly basis
both within the United States and beyond
you’re a major star and yet here you are
playing with lint balls
well I wish that you would quit trying
to run my life Letterman had been around
since 1982
with Bill Murray as his first guest and
all of a sudden he was presenting us
with the final top 10 list in 2015 with
Bill Murray as his final guest Dave I’ll
never have the money I owe you
and while Jon Stewart still seems
relatively young and could possibly
become a future US president his
departure was bittersweet and that he
educated the average viewer on timely
topics while comedic ly pointing out the
flaws in the system so I say to you
tonight friends the best defense against
the bullshit is vigilance so if you
smell something
both men left a lasting imprint on pop
culture dialogue and will miss all the
daily snark I’m Jon Stewart I’m dumb I’m
stupid number three Donald Trump’s
presidential run they’re bringing drugs
they’re bringing crime they’re rapists
and some I assume are good people
despite what comes out of Donald Trump’s
mouth which is usually a bit of verbal
diarrhea it’s clear that a large portion
of Americans are taking him seriously in
his bid to become president you’ve
called women you don’t like fat pigs
dogs slobs and disgusting animals your
Twitter account totally Rosie O’Donnell
as Saturday Night Live so brilliantly
explained
he’s like the Sanjaya Malakar of
politics you know a politician who
clearly shouldn’t be in a position to
win yet mass hysteria keeps him around
you used to call me on the cell phone
some people hate the Donald and then we
can certainly understand why but many
just love the guy and you know who you
are giggling away watching YouTube clips
only to slam Trump in public it is time
to make a decision well almost
look I’m really rich
I know how to run a business and I know
this our country is gonna be well off
with me number two Bill Cosby rape
allegations the only reason mr. Cosby
settled was because it would have been
embarrassing in those days to put all
those women on the stand and his family
had no clue that would have been very
hurtful a little over a year ago the
name Bill Cosby conjured up images of
pudding pops and horrible sweaters but
after a Hannibal Buress routine went
viral the internet decided to
investigate the alleged rape allegations
against the famous comedian and in
perhaps the worst PR move of the digital
age the cosby team asked twitter to mean
bill cosby and they certainly did given
the strange request by now dozens upon
dozens of women have come forward dating
back to the 60s and when the details of
a 2005 deposition emerged it became
clear that mr. Cosby had a long history
of not only assaulting women but paying
them to keep silent allegedly and Cosby
wouldn’t be the only TV personality to
face molestation charges this year with
the revelations accompanying Josh Duggar
of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting resulting
in the reality series cancellation and
his checking into rehab Duggar
apologized on social media writing I
acted inexcusably for which I am
extremely sorry and deeply regret before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions funny I can’t
wait to see our greatest creation yet
opening up about the dirty details of
daddy duty I’ve always wanted to be a
mother I love what I do but I’m excited
for the next phase of my life how did
you manage to keep it a secret where
there is a will there is a way Amber
Heard is opening up for the first time
about her marriage to Johnny Depp number
one the introduction of Caitlyn Jenner
tall and arresting ly handsome he was
the ideal male athlete for millions of
Americans at the beginning of 2015
world knew this individual as a former
Olympic hero and certainly a star of
ease Keeping Up with the Kardashians but
after months of public speculation Bruce
Jenner decided to open up about his past
troubles and his hopes for the future I
look at it this way Bruce always telling
a lie he’s lived the lie his whole life
about who he is and I I can’t do that
any longer
in April he sat down for an interview
with Diane Sawyer and just a few months
later she appeared on the July cover of
Vanity Fair thus setting the internet of
fire and changing the world as we know
it even though most transgender people
don’t necessarily have the same platform
to speak out how do you feel fabulous
regardless everybody was talking about
the introduction of Caitlyn Jenner and
it was the number one pop culture story
of the year and so thank you Glamour
magazine for honoring me tonight I never
in a million years ever thought I would
be here and I’m sure you didn’t either
but here I am baby you’re gonna have a
parliament I will tell you that when I
have a country
I never really doubted you it was just
my silly common sense but we also know
that we live in the freest strongest
most generous and prosperous nation in
the history of the world and what
thankful for them Harris heard you were
desperate for a man peace
when you die it does not mean that you
lose to cancer you beat cancer by how
you live why you live and in the manner
in which you
and I used to be
