Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson! Miley Cyrus cutting off her locks (oh, and getting engaged)! Kim Kardashian stepping out with a new beau (that'd be rapper Kanye West, of course)!
This summer gave us weddings and wedding fake-outs, breakups and American Idol shake-ups, the Olympics and hunky men galore stepping out of the closet (like Matt Bomer, swoon!). The stories may not have always been happy, but they left a mark on this summer.
