(Newser) – Some of these people are great, some of them are scumbags, but all of them have one thing in common: we saw way too much of them this year. Michael Arceneaux of The Root thinks all of them should take a break in 2010.

Beyonce's great and all, but man do we see a lot of her. It wouldn't kill her to push back her next album a year.

Talk about an off the hook year for Michael Steele. He kow-towed to Rush Limbaugh, flip-flopped on abortion, sent slum love to Bobby Jindal, and proposed an outreach program for one-armed midgets.

Even if it weren't for his VMA outburst, Kanye'd need a break. As President Obama put it so succinctly, he can be a bit of a jackass, writes Arceneaux.

Why are the Kardashians famous again? Even people who watch their show have to be sick of all the breathless stories about Khloe's marriage, Kourtney's pregnancy or --really--Kim's hot dog stand.

OK, Janet Jackson can stay. Every other Jackson? Get the heck off of my TV. La Toya seems to think she's a ghost whisperer and detective, Joe's a mooch, and Jermaine here has seriously lousy hair.

Apparently Chris Brown is sorry. Great. But his endless empty interviews make us long for the days when screw-ups like him just went into hiding.

For someone who hates the media, she goes on TV a lot. But then, Sarah Palin has always made about as much sense as opening up a rib joint next to a mosque.

Palin is just failed candidate for vice president and a quitter from a position as a minor state governor who just won't shut the hell up. Obama on the other hand is the current elected President of the United States. Hope that clears it up for you, justme.
