You gotta hand it to Lindsay — she’s not going down without a fight. Between the drunken emails, the tumultuous relationship with occasional BFF Paris, and the most forgiving AA sponsor we’ve ever seen, Lindsay “Firecrotch” Lohan has put up a more than “adequite” showing this year.

But, in the end, it just wasn’t enough to overtake the ever-modest Britney Spears, (whose vagina has graced the pages of this blog more times than we’d care to relate), for the title of “Most Contraversial Celebrity of 2006.” And Spears, whose 2006 highlights range from using baby Sean Preston as an airbag to unceremoniously dumping Kevin Federline via text-message, has more than outdone herself the past few weeks. While Fed-Ex was out touring to promote his trainwreck of a rap album, Brit was cozying up to J.R. Rotem, a buddy of Federline’s who may or may not have sampled Paris Hilton’s blind stars along the way.

And she’s planning a comeback album, y’all!

Honorable mentions go out to Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise and Paris herself for their invaluable contributions. Next up: The battle between Dina Lohan and Anna Nicole Smith for “Worst Mother of the Year” accolades.
