4. Quit an unhealthy habit

Our 44th president Barack Obama should finally quit smoking for good. Who else should resolve to quit their nasty little habits? Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were both snapped hitting the sauce this year, despite trips to rehab in the past. Screen star Ryan O'Neal and son Redmond were busted together for possession of meth. Kirsten Dunst and Eva Mendes may want to work out the "unspecified issues" they went to rehab for in '08. And even though we hoped she would clean up last year, once again we hope the talented Amy Winehouse finally realizes she's worth saving.

We also constitute unsafe/unprotected sexual practices as a bad habit. Listen and learn next year, Jamie Lynn Spears. Even when protected, sex can be too much of a good thing. We're sure David Duchovny, on the road to recovery for sex addiction, has resolved to keep it zipped up in 2009.

Talking too much is a bad habit and it cost NHL star Sean Avery a suspension when he referred to ex-gal pal Elisha Cuthbert ("24") as "sloppy seconds" at a pre-game press conference. Despite public breakups with Nick Lachey and John Mayer, Jessica Simpson continued to run her mouth in 2008; she gushed about how Dallas Cowboy QB Tony Romo was the love of her life and declared that he "saved her." She might want to mend her loose-lipped ways if she wants this one to stick. Simpson's ex John Mayer isn't much better: He had diarrhea of the mouth earlier this year when he commented publicly on his breakup with Jennifer Aniston. Perhaps inappropriate yammering is what he and Aniston have in common. Jen: Less commenting (Vogue and GQ) on the stale business with Angelina, more achieving a hit movie. Now, callate, all of you!

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have one disgusting habit they should quit forthwith: One another. Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Pratt (if we can legally call you that), the public has grown weary of your staged photos and stretched 15 minutes of fame. Resolve to get divorced. Or film a fake divorce. It's all the same to consummate media whores.

We have to have faith that in the New Year, pop star George Michael will finally stop falling into drug stupors in vehicles and hanging out in 'loos' (public restrooms). Georgie, it's definitely unhealthy and judging from your4+ arrests, it's certainly a habit. Is there nobody you can see to get this monkey off your back?
