The New Year is finally upon us and as we look forward to creating new memories and welcoming in a host of new opportunities and possibilities we take a moment to look at what some celebs have envisioned for 2012. Check it out…

From war-torn countries making the daily headlines to the Occupy Wall Street movement and London riots to Steve Jobs’ death to the near-world domination of Android devices, Kim Kardashian’s suprise wedding and then divorce and Beyonce’s pregnancy 2011 was a big year.

The next 12 months look to be just as interesting and entertaining and The Socialite will be here to give you your daily dose of Fashion, Lifestyle and Entertainment.

To start the brand new year off we have decided to give you a sneak peek of some of the world’s leading personalities and celebrities’ New Year Resolutions for 2012.

Whether you are vowing to do something bigger or better, get thinner or give more in the year ahead, celebrities and artists alike can relate.

There were a few stars who wanted to hit the gym more and eat healthier, but not all the answers were quite as predictable. Take a look:

First up we have the ever gorgeous Lea Michele, who plays the perfectionist Rachel Berry on “Glee”.”My new year’s resolutions are to keep working, doing things that are challenging, exciting and enjoyable” she said. “Maybe that will get me closer to my idols, Natalie Wood or Barbra Streisand.”

On New Year’s Day, the ”Two & A Half Men” star shared a New Year’s resolution for everyone. “In 2012 let’s agree to a resolution to feel one another’s pain & joy, & create the peace we desire through proactive generosity. XO,” Kutcher tweeted.

Paparazzi favourite Kim Kardashian was heard saying ”I want to try to be single my whole year of being 30.” Oops, that didn’t work out for the now 31-year-old E! reality star who consequently married and then in a shocking suprise divorced Kris Humphries in 2011 in one of Hollywood’s shortest nuptial agreements.But now, she’s settled on a new resolution for 2012. Kim recently tweeted “I decided to change my twitter background to nothing. I wanna be more simple in 2012.” Great job Kim, it’s working already…

Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and coach for The Voice was seen tweeting “Potential new years resolutions: take more hikes. Start smoking. Communicate. Enjoy. Share. Kill my own food. Make friends with a Lion.”

Miranda Cosgrove’s New Year’s Resolution for 2012 has been announced and her resolutions included kickboxing. “I used to take kickboxing class a lot, and I haven’t done it in about six months. So I’d like to start doing it again. I’d do it about twice a week with my best friend, and it’s actually pretty fun. When I first heard about kickboxing, I thought it’d be this intense thing, where people were punching bags, but it’s nothing like that.” she said.
