BritneyAnyone who denies that 2004 was Britney's year is either lying or Kelly Osbourne. Britters got married for 22 hours (with some bloke from school), got it annulled, released four hit singles AND a storming album, and got married again - this time to Kevin Feed-her-a-line. Hose down that diary, baby!

Brian McFaddenThis There was a lot of loss for Bri. Firstly, he lost the other Westlifers in a dash for solo-dom. Then he lost a 'Y' and gained an 'I' (cos 'Y's are more important than 'I's apparentli. God knows whi!), then his relationship with Kerry Katona went down the tubes. Oh, and he also lost a fair bit of weight as well. Go figure...

Justin Timberlake Just when we were thinking that nothing could tarnish the image of Justin 'Shrill-A-Minute' Timberlake, he shows his less than squeaky-clean side, by exposing Janet Jackson's conveniently blinged-up nipple at the Superbowl. The nipple ripple was so intense that Justin quickly mewled something about a 'wardrobe malfunction' and that he was very sorry. Tsk! What a t*t!

Gareth Gates spent some of 2004 hunched up on the sofa, watching I'm A Celebrity Get Me Outta Here and waiting for Jordan to tell the world about their sexploits. The confession didn't fully emerge until Jordan's biography hit the shelves, leaving a red-faced (and other bits, apparently) Gareth to publicly apologise for denying that anything happened. And he seemed like such a nice lad...

Victoria BeckhamPosh came to shove in 2004, with a comeback double A-side single and talk of a new hip hop direction, courtesy of Damon Dash. It wasn't long though before Damon realised that 'Posh' plus 'Rap' equaled 'Rash' and he dashed back across the Atlantic. Still, bet he got a nice spice rack as a going away pressie.
