The time has come to bid adieu to 2022.

Celebrity controversies consumed social media, with the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial, that infamous Oscars slap, Queen Elizabeth’s death, and many more pop culture moments to count.

Now it’s time to reflect on the year behind us and look ahead to 2023. Here’s how celebrities rang in the New Year. 

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper address CNN’s no-drinking rule

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper brought some comedic relief sans booze during CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” special. 

“They brought us back for another year,” Cohen boasted at the top of CNN’s coverage from Times Square in New York, adding there were “some stipulations this year, some fine print.”

Ahead of the New Year’s Eve celebrations, CNN’s new CEO, Chris Licht, reportedly called for coverage with less booze. On Thursday, Cohen confirmed to Page Six that he and Cooper would not be drinking during this year’s broadcast. 

“So we should talk about the elephant in the room,” Cohen quipped Saturday in a clip shared on social media of CNN’s broadcast. “We can’t drink, alright! We can’t drink. But it’s fine. It’s totally cool.” 

“I don’t normally drink, so it’s not a big deal for me,” Cooper chimed in, before asking Cohen if he was “going to be able to make it” through the night. 

“That’s the question. We will see,” Cohen replied. “Do I have a pocket full of edibles? I do. Will I take them? I don’t think so. I don’t know, it’s a long night. This is a telethon with no disease, do you understand? We’re here all night passing time.”

To bear the alcohol ban, Cohen and Cooper took shots of mystery liquid, ranging from pickle juice, buttermilk and apple cider vinegar. 

“We will take a shot, and then we will guess what it was,” Cohen said, explaining the rules of the toasting game. 

“Honestly, this is no different to me because alcohol, to me, all tastes disgusting,” Cooper added. 

After the show, both Cohen and Anderson took to Instagram to reflect on the night.

“Booze or no booze, when you get to spend it with friends that’s what counts!” Cohen wrote alongside a clip of the duo singing and celebrating.

In a more serious post from Cooper, he recalled how New Year’s Eve as a child had been “infused with sadness” after his dad died five days into January. 

“I still feel that sadness, that loss on this night, but being able to spend it with my friend Andy, and with all of you who tune in, and going home afterwards to a home where my two boys are asleep in their cribs and will wake up in the morning laughing and joyful…it’s become a very different night for me… and I am grateful,” he wrote.

The singer then took to Twitter to share the news, writing: “NEW YEAR, NEW MILEY, NEW SINGLE.” 

Cyrus, 30, and her godmother Parton, 76, performed several stunning duets during their New Year’s Eve show. Just before the clock struck midnight, the two sang a medley of Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” followed by Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.”
