Many of you will wake up tomorrow and woozily resolve to be better behaved in 2013. We’re here to strongly discourage that. See, life is just more interesting when you let things get debaucherous. You could canoodle with a comely nude stranger (Prince Harry), wear an Olympic medal (Naomi Campbell), or find a kitten (Demi Moore). Sure, there are potential pitfalls, like bruises (Pierre Casiraghi), lost shoes (Tara Reid), and the occasional lawsuit (Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld), but the battle scars are probably worth it. Enjoy our roundup of the year’s top celebrity partiers; may we all have as much fun in 2013 as they did in 2012. Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!

Pierre Casiraghi and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Partying hard has its setbacks, as Pierre learned firsthand when he suffered from "chin scratches" sustained in a brawl at Chelsea nightclub Double Seven. Vladimir, perhaps leaping to Pierre's defense, was accused of whacking their aggressor with a bottle of Grey Goose. Lawsuits are still pending. Photo: Splash News

Pippa Middleton The night before her infamous gun incident in Paris, Pippa attended a party with strippers, dwarves, and a burlesque dancer who popped out of a cake and performed to a rendition of "God Save the Queen." Sadly, her new party-planning book offers no tips on how to pull this off at home.

Jessica White Jessica mellowed out a bit this year, but she still found the energy to host a Halloween lingerie theme party, barter with cab drivers over cigarettes, and support our troops.
