From Whitney Houston's death to the worldwide success of the K-Pop hit "Gangnam Style," 2012 was, by all accounts, an eventful year.Celebrities' scandals remained a highly interesting topic this year with the divorce between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and the cheating scandal between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson topping headlines. The British royal family also received its fair share of attention after Prince William and Katherine Middleton announced they are expecting their first baby together.

A source close to Jacintha Saldana's family revealed that the nurse involved in the Kate Middleton hoax phone call may have committed suicide in part because she was criticized hard by the hospital where she worked.

Staff at the radio station responsible for the hoax hospital call about Kate Middleton that ultimately led to the alleged suicide of nurse Jacintha Saldanha have been moved to safehouses, according to reports.

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, will miss the United Kingdom premiere of "The Hobbit" due to her continued hospital stay for acute morning sickness that is linked to her recently confirmed pregnancy, palace officials said Tuesday.
