Good on TIME for going balls out on this one (2 of the top 10 were world leaders) considering their iconic status and magnitude. Some are definitely better than others though. Here are my 5 favourite with the descriptions from the website right under them. Check out the rest of the list here and TIME's master list of everything to do with 2009 here. I think #9 is my favourite; his hubris is nauseating.
1. Kanye West: "Imma Let You Finish"
Part of rapper Kanye West's bizarre opening line upon interrupting country singer Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, as she gave her acceptance speech for Best Female Video. He then asserted, "Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."
2. Tiger Woods: "Kobe Special"
Hours after what many speculate was a domestic dispute with his wife, golfer Tiger Woods reportedly told a friend that he had to buy one of these ("A house on a finger") at Zales. Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers gave his wife a $4 million 8-carat diamond ring after being accused of rape in 2003.
3. Silvio Berlusconi: "I'm No Saint"
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's first public remarks after the release of audio recordings said to be from a night he spent with a prostitute.
7. Kate Moss: "Nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels"
One of Kate Moss's personal credos, which was revealed after the supermodel was asked by an interviewer if she had any mottos. Critics said the comment could contribute to eating disorders among Moss's young fans.
9. Lloyd Blankfein: "Doing God's work"
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein's description of how he spends his time as a banker, in an interview with the London Times.
