Top Ten | Signs of the Apocalypse

E!'s new reality series, "Bridalplasty," premiered last Sunday, displaying a heated competition between 12 brides vying for free plastic surgery procedures. WTF, world? It seems the apocalypse must be near.

10. "Glee" cast surpassing the Beatles as the non-solo group with most hot 100 singles: Obviously, those who hate "Glee" aren't going to be happy about this, but even fans of the show and its music can't honestly believe that the cast deserves more appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 list than the Fab Four.

9. The Situation signing a book deal: The Situation from MTV's "Jersey Shore" is writing a self-help book about getting shredded abs, rippling arms, a nice haircut and a smooth tan. ‘Cause who wouldn't want to be like a Scooby-Doo-faced "Guido" with Popeye's disproportionately huge arms and the IQ of a second grader?

8. Justin Bieber's upcoming movie: Despite his cuteness, Bieber is actually one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The other three are Dakota Fanning, Elmo and that little red-headed demon child who lip syncs the Katy Perry songs on YouTube.

7. Proof that Kanye might actually be a genius: After talking about it for ... forever, Kanye finally pulled back the curtain with his new album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," and revealed that the wizard is actually a wizard. And a genius.

6. The calendar: 2012 is next year. Get ready.

5. Sarah Palin still being talked about: Why do people still care about this woman? Because she hunts bears on her reality show and her daughter is on "Dance Your A-- Off" or something? What the hell, America?

4. Europe having no bees: Bees, species of the superfamily Apoidea, are vital in the cross-pollination process of various agrarian products used for hominid alimentary nourishment throughout the world. But if one of those f---ers stings us, we'll kill it!

3. The Ministry of Magic getting taken over by Death Eaters: We're all still shaken by the loss of Rufus Scrimgeour, but it's really the new administration's fierce anti-Muggle propaganda that offends us the most. Dumbledore would never have stood for this!

2. Bridalplasty: While people have been looking to volcanoes, earthquakes and other natural disasters for signs of the apocalypse, nothing is quite as portentous as 12 women competing for a slate of plastic surgical procedures for their wedding days on E!.

1. Larry Bacow leaving: Awwwwwwww :(
