"You done good!"
Hmm, let's see! How many grammatical rules can we break in a single sentence?
Alternately, you can express yourself the old-fashioned way by using proper English:
You did well!
You did (something that was) good!
It's good to see you doing so well!
You've done well!
You've done very well for yourself!
You've done good work/a good job/a good deed/etc.
You've made me very proud!
You're a big success!
Wow, you really DID it!
You did it! It was amazing! Everyone's talking about it, and I'm getting a woody!

Are we getting together by you? (meaning at your place)

Am I the Only Person Who Doesn't Care About the Dixie Chicks?

So, if I buy a Chicks album, go to a Stones concert, or watch a Brad Pitt film, you guys consider that to be "celebrity worship?"
I worship only ONE celebrity, and He lived long before People Magazine was first published.
I agree that it's silly for people to be obsessed with celebrity. - When I see a famous person on the street, I keep walking and leave them alone. - But even more pathetic are those who concern themselves with how OTHERS react to celebrities. If I have a colleague who is head over heals for David Beckham, is that any of my business?
