Predictions for 2007

Now that the New Year is here, we welcome on the ever desired psychic predictions for what will happen in the new year. However, I am not gifted with this sense, but I feel I should give it a crack at some things that may or may not happen in 2007.

Britney strives for controversial '07

While I'm not sure that Britney will give birth to another child this year, I have a feeling that she will go against what everyone suggested for the soon-to-be divorced woman and announce later on in the year that she is expecting her third child. This will anger many people and shock others in disbelief because she will be claiming the father of said child is none other than: Justin Timberlake. This will stir up rumors of a possible marriage and it'll have everyone screaming, "No! It's too soon!" But Justin, being a long time friend of hers will want a quick, quiet wedding just to keep the media off track.

This, of course, will most definitely come on the heels of her announcement of a new album which will be turned out fine, however, due to a pregnancy she will be unable to go out on tour until at least spring of 2008. Because of this option she will lose a large fan base.

Rice versus Clinton

With 1 year to go until the elections, I have a feeling that things are going to heat up in the political arena. The first big bang will be both Rice and Clinton announcing within hours of each other that both are going to be on the ballot for President of the United States. This, of course, will lead to a big hype of an election with not one but two strong women in power.

This interesting candidacy will be the motivation hundreds of young girls need in order to see that women can and may very well have a decent shot at presidency within the next few years. Suddenly, the amount of women entering politics will increase as a direct result of both women.

Expect a little bit of dirty tactics as Rice tries hard to make Clinton embarassed about her stunt a few years ago when campaining in New York - visiting Erie County, Pennsylvania.

Bin Laden found

I have a feeling that with Saddam's recent execution that we will soon be hearing about Bin Laden being found .. either dead or alive. This will lead to many questions of when he died, how he died and of course how long had he been deceased. It's common knowledge that Laden was receiving dialysis, so, I have a feeling that when he's discovered he'll either be severely ailing as a result of no treatment (or little) or have perished a while back due to the lack of dialysis.

Either way this will lead to a lowered sense of security everywhere around the world, but keep everyone hesitant because as we all know : as one goes away another always steps in their place.

Television

After having a boom of "Reality Television" in the last few years, I have a feeling that people are going to be getting sick of the predictable programming and start a demand for old fashioned sitcoms once again. This may spur a Roseanne reunion special or even a Nanny special, or perhaps going back even further: A Cosby Reunion special. People will be writing in demanding a less competitive sort of entertainment on prime time television and shall receive it. Of course, like every year, expect a few bomb out shows and the one that will be so popular it'd be like Friends Version 2.0.

Whatever the case, I know I'm not alone in the getting tired of 'reality' ploy on television. Also, American Idol will continue to prosper because it has aquired something like a cult following. As for that, I have a feeling that the next winner will be a female from out west.

Everybody has fun trying to make predictions for New Years and it isn't a crime to use what you know and let your imagination soar beyond that. You aren't a scientist and taking an educated (or uneducated) guess is just as much fun as making resolutions for others. It's all about fun. Whatever 2007 brings, hopefully it's an interesting, unforgettable year and doesn't go by too quickly.
