It’s that time of the year again. No, no, no, not the holiday season. Although it is THAT time of the year, it’s also the time where magazines and publications all over the Internet dish out their “top lists.”
2011 has been another great year at Zoiks! Online; stories such as “American Idol” contestant James Durbin being compared to fellow alumnus Adam Lambert, a nude photo scandal of Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez announcing their relationship have all harvested headlines around the world.
All of these stories and headlines have contributed to Zoiks! Online’s productive year. So, without further ado, here are the Zoiks! Online’s Top Headlines of 2011:
1. Kendra Wilkinson released a sex tape – eventually. It wasn’t until everyone and their mother searched for it on the Internet. This story was so hot it helped gain nearly 30K hits for Zoiks!

3. Let’s face it. I’m a funny mother fucker. I wrote a cult classic called “Hello Lesbian!” I’ve been pitching the novel to Kevin Smith and Ashton Kutcher to turn it into a movie. It hasn’t worked.
