The Razz Gongs 2009

2009-12-26T09:17:17Z

Turkey drum roll please..

As the remnants of your Christmas dinner get polished off and the big bowl of satsumas disappears into a pile of peel, it is time to look back at the year's winners, losers and odd-bods.

With the Mobos, Q Awards, Tartan and Silver Clefs, Brits, Baftas, Scottish Baftas, Oscars, MTVs and VMAs, NMEs, Mercurys, Grammys, Scottish Style, The Fashion and all the others behind us, it's time once again for the award ceremony cake to be iced. Ladies and gentlemen, Razzies and Razzettes, we give you the one, the only, very silly 2009 Razz Gongs...

JANUARY
THE UNEXPECTED BEEFCAKE GONG - WITH EXTRA CHEESE
MacDonald Brothers Craig and Brian stripped off to show their newly-toned physiques as they prepared to go Down Under. The Ayrshire boys had a meeting in Australia with record execs and were keen to make a good impression, so they showed the Razz their pumped pecs.

FEBRUARY
THE HONORARY LADY GAGA GONG FOR BAD ROMANCE
Chris Brown and Rihanna had looked the perfect couple when they arrived in Glasgow's Malmaison hotel in January for his concert. The loving soon turned to hate when ratbag Chris raised his hand to the Umbrella singer. The awful incident kept them in the spotlight for the rest of the year.

MARCH
THE YUKKIEST AFTER-SHOW PARTY GONG
Lily Allen won this hands down for her antics after playing Glasgow's 02 Academy. The singer partied hard backstage and puked right in front of fans waiting outside. Nice work, Lily.

APRIL
THE HONORARY KYLIE GONG FOR SPINNING AROUND
Pink made a real impression on her Scots fans when she left the Radisson hotel in Glasgow ... and the revolving door stuck. It took a few good men to help her out of her predicament, but she managed to pass the time by having a drink.

MAY
THE LET'S-HAVE-A-REAL-BALL-AND-MAKE-AN-ASS-OFYOURSELF GONG
Eminem and Sacha Baron Cohen receive this award for their famous "face-off" at the MTV Movie Awards. Sacha, masquerading as his film character Bruno and wearing angel wings, landed on Eminem and shoved his kugelsack in his face. Em stormed off in a rage, but later admitted the whole shady thing was a set-up.

JUNE
THE GLOBAL-OPINION-SPLITTING-NOT-EVERYTHING'S-BLACK-AND-WHITE-GONG
News of Michael Jackson's death caused shock waves around the world, but people weren't sure how to react. His history of controversial court cases combined with his musical excellence made it a hard one to call. In the end the world lost an incredible musician who had grey areas in his personal life.

JULY
THE KEEP-US-HOLDING-OUR-BREATH-UNTIL-THE-VERY-LAST-MINUTE GONG
Blur's reunion at T in the Park was long awaited ... but it wasn't without its own drama. As the fans waited patiently in Balado, band-member Graham Coxon was being rushed to hospital with food poisoning from a "bad oyster". As usual, The Razz were first to get the story, seeing Graham being taken from his hotel to the hospital. It was nail-biting stuff but he made it on stage in the end.

AUGUST
THE WONDERBRAWL GONG
Oasis scooped this award when the Gallaghers announced their split after an agonising year of quarrelling. Liam and Noel, who have been constantly in the huff with one another over the years, were desperately unhappy in their final months together and finally set themselves free at a Paris gig. Liam smashed his brother's guitar and Noel, the band's chief songwriter, announced two hours later on the Oasis website that he was quitting.

SEPTEMBER
THE GONG FOR GOING AWOL/BEST QUALITY DISAPPEARING ACT SINCE THE INVISIBLE MAN
Glasvegas frontman James Allen went missing in action from his band ahead of the prestigious Mercury Awards in London. James, who was tired out by the band's busy schedule, was later found safe and well in New York. It was later revealed he had gone missing once before - when he was on the dole.

OCTOBER
THE GUESSING GAME GONG
Lady Gaga kept us guessing about her body when it was rumoured she was born with both male and female parts. A picture of her getting off a scooter set tongues wagging but Lady G joked about it. She even told Jonathan Ross: "I do have a really big donkey d**k."

NOVEMBER
THE WILL-THEY-WON'T-THEY GONG
Take That's long awaited reunion with Robbie looked like it was going to happen for Children In Need. But the band and Mr Williams refused to let the cat out the bag - and finally we saw for ourselves. The musos were all on stage together but we're still awaiting the proper Take That reunion performance. Mark Owen also kept the Razz guessing about his marriage to Emma Ferguson, but it finally happened in Cawdor Parish Church, near Inverness.

DECEMBER
THE GONG FOR THE MOST UNLIKELY STAR
Susan Boyle and Jedward receive this jointly for their very different performances and their ability to amass a wide fanbase. Surprise talent Subo has achieved worldwide fame on the back of her Britain's Got Talent appearance and Jedward managed to beat the odds and win the public's backing on The X Factor.
