Last year (3 days ago), we told you about the Playboy New Year’s Eve party that one of our writers Adam had been invited to in Chicago. Not only is a contributor here at COED but he’s also a Campus Representative for Playboy at Southern Illinois University. This is his story about celebrating the biggest night of the year with Playmates Summer Altice, Amanda Cerny, Alison Waite, Ashley Mattingly and musical performer Baby Bash.

If you were wondering how Weird Al Yankovic, Alice Cooper, and Steven Tyler were spending their New Year’s Eve, you probably need some new friends. Having said that, the performance between these three on New Year’s Eve at a restaurant in Maui is pretty awesome. Ceelo wasn’t the only one delving into the Beatles’ library for the ano nuevo, these guys took on “Come Together.” Serious props need to be given to Weird Al, you can see Alice Cooper trying to hand him lyrics and Al just dismisses him like “I got this, man.”

I’ve watched this video no less than a dozen times and I laugh harder with every additional viewing. It comes from YouTube user Kyle who you might remember as the dorky guy asking the weird questions to MLB players in a very Tim & Eric-esque clip. This is the first I’m seeing his new character Alex, who appears to be a little person. Yeah, one of my resolutions is to be less offensive. So, suck it, dooshers. Click through to see Alex hit it then quit it, no doubt.

Kate Upton had a big year in ’11 and from the looks of her twitpics from New Year’s Eve, she appears to be poised to kill it again in 2012. Once we broke out of our spell, we notcied there was another woman fighting for our attention and praise – a mystery blonde we later discovered to be fashion model Lizzy Glynn. Check out the couple saying adios to 2011 along with Lizzy’s sexiest pics below.

Whether you’re hosting a party or pre-gaming before hitting up the club, you need to bust out some tune-age. By now, most people are tired of hearing Party Anthem, so why not drop a ball of supremely unique beats and tracks from the peeps at RCRD LBL? Their NYE playlist features joints from Wild Light, The John Henrys, Class Actress, Doldrums, Atlas Sound, and The Internet (great band name). There’s no better way to guarantee a kiss at midnight. Send a one finger salute to ’11 after the jump.

Adam Brezak is the Playboy Campus Rep for Southern Illinois University. When he found out Playboy was throwing a huge New Year’s Eve bash in his hometown of Chicago, he emailed his boss, and a week later, received two tickets. The event will feature appearances by Baby Bash, Eva Simons, and playmate / DJ Summer Altice, who he’s planning to interview. Follor him on Twitter @AdamBrezak to see unreal twitpics. Click through to see what’s in store for Adam along with pics of the sizzling hot Summer Altice.

New Year’s Eve can either be a big success or bust, depending on who you go with and how well it’s planned.

In preparation of the inevitable, we’ve pulled together two years of “historical evidence” so that you can know what to expect. Knowledge is power, right?

The Christmas and NYE double-dip is upon us and that can only mean one thing: you’re going to get a girlfriend, a boyfriend, or involved in an ‘it’s complicated’ kind of thing.

But what if that someone is someone really inadvisable, festively plump, a bit annoying, and sure to be dumped in time for Spring Break? Then you need to learn how to avoid getting cuffed: sounds easy but with all that mistletoe around it’s harder than it seems. Check out our resident Pick Up Artist’s advice after the jump!

New Year’s Eve, the sh*tty spin-off to Valentine’s Day, releases today (12/9). I know of 1 person who’s looking forward to it, and it’s my female roommate. The girls in the office have no intention of hitting up the theater. In fact, we’re all wondering how something like this gets made after the travesty that was V-Day. Is it really just an excuse to hang out with other stars? How about you do that on your own time? Oh, because it rakes in millions at the box office F*ck.

4….3….2….1! Happy New Year! A brand new year lies ahead, but first we must make it through New Year’s Eve. The best New Years I ever had was when I was nine, and I took out all my parents pots and pans and banged them together at midnight. Since then, there’s been a trajectory course downward in the appeal for this holiday. It’s basically amateur night, with too much pressure on having an ultimate evening out. So here’s a guide on how to have a good New Year’s Eve.

Lot of people see New Year’s Eve as “Amateur Hour”, a night when novice drinkers get over-served and wild out, leaving a path of destruction in their wake, thus ruining the celebration for expert imbibers like us COEDitors. However, there’s one bonus to the festivities: the kiss at the stroke of midnight. If you’re not fort… Click to read more
