Celebrities are always trying to get richer better themselves.

And with New Year's Day just a few hours away, many of them are planning their New Year's resolutions for 2010.

Check out some of their goals for the New Year below:

Justin Timberlake
"I'm going to underpromise myself for 2010 so if it goes well I'll be like, 'Oh my God! Such a surprise!'"

Miley Cyrus
"I need to stop talking about things I want to do, and just get out there and do it. That's been my biggest goal recently, especially while I'm on the road."

Adam Lambert
"To keep being positive and try to live in the moment and enjoy this."

Ashlee Simpson
"All my focus is on my son. Every day being a better mom and learning with him. It’s an incredible experience."

Courteney Cox
"I don't have any yet! I'll make some soon."

Kim Kardashian
"Just to spend a little bit more time with my family and my friends and to really kick it up in the workout department and to try to eat better. I cannot get it together with eating. I eat way too many Oreos."

Tara Reid
"I'm not really good with New Year's resolutions. I'm terrible with that."

Bill Murray
"To try to remember to look down on myself and realize how good I've got it."

Shanna Moakler

"January is when I start on the Broadway stage, so my resolution is to blow everyone away on that stage."

Tatyana Ali
"To be a better friend and a better sister."

Hailey Glassman
"To finally stand up for myself, not let myself be controlled and manipulated by Jon [Gosselin]. I wish for him out of my life."

Mya
"My new year's resolution was to be a vegetarian for six months out of this year. I did three months and stopped and then I'm almost done with my second three months commitment."

Mark Indelicato
"I think that I have to be more organized and stay focused on school. I want to go to college. I take my SAT next year, but I'm so nervous. It's a year away."

Trista Sutter
"When I was younger it was always to stop biting my nails."

Irina Shabayeva
"To get organized! I feel like that’s my resolution every year — to get more focused."

Samantha Harris
"To see family that I live out of town from more and more."
