Jonas Brothers
I don't know if you have seen the JoBro's new music video or heard their new song, Pom Poms, (it is possible that I am all of the 1,000,000 views) but it is great [watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y8lBABvRcs]. Hat's off to you Joe, Nick and Jonas-no-one-cares-about, you have written a song that is not only super catchy but contains loads of euphemisms! Plus the video is really entertaining, (although it would be appreciated if you grew your hair back Nick) it features dancing and a marching band. What's more, the stars of Jonas LA are going on tour this Summer!
I truly believe that this is only the start of the Jonas Brothers' major comeback after 4 years, (even though they never really broke up because they're blood related) and that is enough to brighten anyone's 2013. Unless you are a JoBro hater.
Justin Timberlake
In the same way that the Jonas Brothers are back with a killer new song and tour, so is JT. He has a new album, called The 20/20 Experience, which includes the unbelievably catchy songs Mirrors, Suit and Tie and Pusher Love. Plus he is going on tour with Jay Z, called the Legends of Summer tour, and will be playing at some UK festivals this summer, including Wireless. The now married, ex Nsync member is definitely back in a big way and he is here to serenade us into and throughout a wonderful 2013.

Fall Out Boy
This year really seems to be the year of comebacks! I am so excited that these guys are back together and have already released two amazing singles, My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark and The Phoenix. One of the videos even has 2 Chainz in the video, as well as some fire.
FOB haven't released an album in a couple of years and Pete Wentz was never mentioned in One Tree Hill after season 3. Sadness.
But now they're back and going to be performing at Reading Festival in the summer!

Royal Baby
I know that this was announced yonks ago now and this is practically old news, despite the fact that Duchess Kate is still suspiciously showing no signs of having a baby growing inside of her, however, the baby will be born in 2013! William/Kate Junior will be born sometime in the summer-ish, so that is something to look forward to within this year, and I just have my fingers crossed that the baby's Christening will be a public holiday and there are more great street parties.
Kimye Baby
Another royal baby! This was announced at the very very beginning of 2013, and it's very unlike me not to acknowledge it until now but that doesn't mean I'm not excited to watch the birth of baby West on national television, whether it be Keeping up with the Kardashians or Kourtney and Kim take Miami. Also, rumour has it that Kanye wants to name his child North so the unfortunate kid's name is North West. Top quality humour there.
The baby should actually be born at a similar time to the other royal baby so there's yet another thing to look forward to in 2013!

Finding Nemo Sequel
If you haven't seen Ellen DeGeneres announcing this then click here. I think it is suffice to say that I could not be more excited for Finding Dory if I tried. We've all been waiting 7 years for this announcement, and here it is, in 2013! I know that the film won't actually be released until 2015 but now is not too early to start getting excited about it.
40th Anniversary of Mobile Phones
Yup, yesterday marked 40 years since the first mobile phone call was ever made. Now over 6 billion people in the world own mobiles (which is about 1 billion more than the number of people who own a toothbrush. Lovely.) and it is estimated that in 2014 there will be more mobile phone owners than actual people in the world, which is quite impressive.
I love my mobile, my trusty Crapberry, and I think it's very exciting that this year marks 4 decades of mobiles being around, good on you 2013.

To add to all of that, on a more personal level, my GCSEs will be over this year! (Let's not mention the impending A Levels that also start this year)
So, there are just a few reasons why you should be glad that Earth wasn't taken over by Zombies before 2013 and I'm sure there's even more reasons that I've missed off and more to come.
Sorry for the long break, enjoy the April snow.
