Some people begin the new year with messages of glad tidings. Miley Cyrus chose to warn the world instead: "Yo 2014! If you ain't scuuurd of me just ask 2013 what's up." 2013 couldn't be reached. It was nestled in a corner in the fetal position, softly whispering "no more twerking" over and over and over to itself.

Everyone knows that New Year's is the most terrifying time of the year. There's the fun New Year's Eve party, sure. But then there's THE HANGOVER. Mindy Kaling's no fool. And she's kind enough to share her wisdom. "When you're hungover it's all about the sweatshirt dress," she posted on the morning of January 1.

While her fellow starlets were playing a game of "how much skin I show in my New Year's dress?," Demi Lovato was bundled up from head to toe for her New Year's Eve gig on Canadian TV. The sexiest she could make her outfit was just assuring us that somewhere deep, deep under all those clothes there's a naked body, too.

Ever the Disney girl, Selena Gomez reassures us all that her New Year's Eve toast (even though Wikipedia tells us she is 21) is not champagne. "Apple cider and my girls," she writes. How…fun.

"Watch a terrifying dive with deadly Nike crocodiles," Anderson Cooper advertised about his 60 Minutes special last week, shaming the rest of us who spent the week between Christmas and New Year's couch-ridden in pajama jeans with a bag of Chips Ahoy permanently in one hand and a glass of Chardonnay constantly full in the other.

Kevin Hart and Ludacris think they look "boss shit" and like "#YoungCEOs" according to this Instagram caption but let's be honest. They really just look like Triumph the Comic Insult Dog.

Ryan Seacrest wanted to know how his outfit looked for freezing to the point of possible hypothermia outside in Times Square for six hours while dodging the projectile vomit of drunk New Year's Eve revelers as Miley Cyrus bleated into a microphone looked. It looked pretty good!

Ke$ha posted a photo of her writing music at a piano with her mother and it's actually really cute.
