Keep an eye on what may come to pass

Another new year is upon us. It's always a good time to reflect, make lists, set priorities and consider what might be based on what we've already experienced.

Here are some of my own personal predictions for 2008 I wanted to share with you.



Entertainment



• With a lot of help Britney Spears will accomplish a career turnaround and will publish a hugely successful audio book about her weird life and times and rehab.

• Tom Cruise will become a father again, but his stability will be questioned when he lets it slip out that he's been to outer space.

• Paris Hilton will have another brush with the law and decide that she likes being in trouble.

• Oprah Winfrey will wind up with a MUCH younger man in her life.

• At 80 Andy Williams will stun the entertainment world with the most successful "pay what you want" downloadable CD on the Internet. He will have to deal with a medical emergency while filming a music video for YouTube, however.



Politics



• Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will face Republican nominee Rudy Giuliani in November and no one in Mississippi will vote for either one of them.

• Stuffed "Muhammad Bears" wearing turbans will become all the rage in the U.K. this summer.



Science and technology



• Millions will line up to get their hands on the latest new thingy, an entertainment center the size of a business card. It will quickly become unpopular as users will suffer multiple paper cut like injuries to their hands.

• Archaeologists will discover extra terrestrials are really indigenous to Earth and that humans are the missing link between them and apes.



One sure thing



• And finally, I predict that in 2008 Thanksgiving will fall on a Thursday.



Happy New Year!
