Everyone's familiar with Barbara Walter's 10 Most Fascinating People. While we can agree/disagree on who we think is fascinating (Kardashians? Really Barb?), I'm pretty sure I've come up with the 10 most fascinating people of 2014, or at least 10 people who are having a better year than you. Here are #10-6. I'm waiting to post #5-1 until New Years Eve just in case someone super cool comes in and surprises us. I mean Kylie Jenner got popular the minute she got lip-fillers so who knows what could happen in the next week and a half.

#10: Prince George. 
He's a prince, he's adorable and his mom is Kate. I'm pretty sure, based on this face he's going to be a pretty awesome Prince. And who else can rock a sweater vest like that.

#9: Sam Smith. 
Have you all seen his SNL performance? Holy moly. Once I saw that, I knew Sammy's 2014 was going to be better than everyone's. Then he went and did 'Not the only one,' 'Stay with me,' 'Lay me down' and 19 other amazing songs, renditions and duets. Need I say more? Sam is #wining.

#8: The Duggars. 
They have 19 kids, three are married, one has 3 kids (aka 3 grandkids), another kid has a baby on the way and allegedly the 48 year old mom, Michelle is still trying for another baby. They have the #1 TV show on TLC and continue to make money going on trips, spreading their message and getting in all kinds of trouble on facebook. Wanna know what I find most fascinating? That the mom was able to come up with 19 'J' names, that takes some skills! Go Duggars, you're having your year.

#7: Men who decorate their beards. 
Have you guys seen this trend? Buzzfeed did a whole article on it. I understand the "lumberjack" style is becoming the new popular version of 'sexy'. But honestly, all I can think about is how much it must itch and how heavy your chin hair must be. But props to you guys, you brought positive attention to your facial hair. This won't happen again, soak it in boys.

#6: Gia Giudice. 
For those of you who don't instantly recognize that name, I suggest you get cable and watch Real Housewives of New Jersey right away. She's the sassy 13-year old daughter of Teresa Giudice. Yes, the Teresa who is about to head off to jail because she 'forgot' to report things like a 10-carat diamond ring, Ferraris' and boats on her tax-returns "I just sign anything". Anyways, back to Gia. She's 13 and has a band called 3KT. She remakes songs like Circus by Britney Spears and most recently released a Christmas jam. Looks like this little Giudice might be her family's saving grace as her mom and and dad head off to the slammer. Here's her (slutty) rendition of Circus. Here's her new Christmas jam. And, here's her picture. Go Gia. This will be your last best year for a while.
