I hope you've had enough time to sleep off your hangover at this point and are ready to find out how celebrities rang in the New Year. If you're going through anything like what I went through in years past, you probably don't want to hear from me unless I'm a bacon, egg, and cheese, but I'm hoping that you've recovered sufficiently that I can poison you with jealousy in the form of what your favorite A-Listers got up to last night. And even if you're not, just let this happen for me; I stayed in and cleaned my apartment last night in hopes of getting a jump start on my resolution, so my FOMO is through the roof right now. I need to see spangly dresses and exploding champagne bottles and fireworks and shoes that no reasonable person should be walking in. And I need to see all of these things right. now.
Which ends up working out, because — not shockingly — a lot of your favorite famous humans did it up proper as they bid farewell to 2015. But interestingly enough, a surprising number of them went my route, too! We've got ourselves responses all across the board, from hard partiers, to footie pajamas, to some people who didn't even make it to midnight (cough cough Ellen), and some inspirational resolutions for the year, to boot! Let's see what everybody got up to!
1. Chrissy Teigen
This is the year that Chrissy Teigen has her baby (!!!), and she and husband John Legend couldn't be more excited.
2. Ricky Gervais
Let this be a hilarious lesson to all of us to love our bodies no matter what they look like, which is a genuine resolution of mine in 2016.
3. Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande spent some time with her brother Frankie Grande — family first!
4. Kristen Bell
Still really need this family and their love for Game of Thrones to adopt me.
5. Britney Spears
SCREAM IN THE FACE OF 2016 LIKE YOUR GIRL BRITNEY SPEARS!!!
6. Justin Bieber
Or be a little more chill and lean against a wall like your boy Justin Bieber.
7. Kim Kardashian
I will remember to call my family more, I will remember to call my family more, I will remember to call my family more. Thanks for the reminder, Kim Kardashian!
8. Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton took a (momentary) break from the campaign to smooch Bill, like the boss that she is.
9. Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian seems like she wanted to make it crystal clear that Scott Disick isn't in her life right now, by planting a kiss on her youngest child, Reign.
10. Bill Nye The Science Guy
Oh god yes please, please save us Bill Nye.
11. Katy Perry
Ummm... do you think Katy Perry would mind if I stole this idea?
12. Amy Schumer
Of course she performed on New Years Eve. Of course she did. Can't stop won't stop.
13. Neil Patrick Harris
Whoa, finally someone who had a more low-key evening than I did! (I at least filled my kiddie cup up with champagne, unlike Neil Patrick's twins Harper and Gideon.)
14. Demi Lovato
This is what it looked like in Times Square, right after the ball dropped! Courtesy of Demi Lovato, who'd just performed there.
15. Lucy Hale
MY KIND OF WOMAN. The one thing I'd change about my night to make it more like hers is that I inexcusably missed the opportunity to wear a onesie.
16. Ellen DeGeneres
Oh man, you were so close!
17. Lea Michele
Oh yeah and then some of us go to a beautiful place to be alone with one of our closest friends for New Year, like former Glee stars Lea Michele and Becca Tobin. I'm not jealous.
18. Chris Hemsworth
Sigh. Not the most politically correct of themes, but Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky look like they're having fun at their New Year's Eve party.
19. Rebel Wilson
Scream it out, Rebel Wilson! Let all of Australia hear you!
All in all, I think my night holds up pretty well against these A-Listers — how about yours? I can't promise that will hold true once we find out what Taylor Swift and Beyoncé and everybody else were up to, but for now, I'm happy with my choices!
