EW’s 2018 naughty and nice list

Mary Sollosi
Naughty and nice 2018: Ariana Grande, A Star is Born, and more

‘Twas the morning of Christmas, and in Tinseltown
The stars fêted the end of the yuletide countdown.
The bottles of Veuve sparkled, ready to pop
At the parties where A-listers that night would stop.

And as Santa looked over his annual list
(Checking twice, making sure no celeb he had missed),
He saw naughty and nice figures in equal measure,
Deciding who’d get coal that day, who’d get treasure.

Former lovers are naughty, according to past trends,
But you know who’s nice? All of Ariana’s ex-boyfriends.
On the flip side, when looking straight into their souls,
On the naughty list are all of Grande’s mean trolls.

That Tiffany Haddish — she had quite a year!
Now she makes the nice list, for spreading so much cheer.
But a new naughty-lister was made when Tiff did say
That someone in Hollywood bit Queen Beyoncé.

Now Bradley’s directing, and there’s nothing better
Than Cooper’s old-school melodrama love letter.
But the naughtiest Hollywood people we saw?
Those 99 morons who doubted Gaga!

So as this year finally winds to an end,
We look back on who messed up, whom to commend.
Taking pains to miss no one and to be precise,
Here’s the list of who was naughty and who was nice!
