As 2007 draws to a close, it's time to reflect and pay tribute to the stars who made this a year to remember. On that note, The Hollywood Gossip is announcing its 10 finalists for its first annual Celebrity of the Year award.
They've given us their best, their worst and, in a more than a few cases, their naked pictures. Now it is time for us to give a little something back with this special feature, because without these celebrities, we are nothing.
We previously profiled sex tape star Kim Kardashian as our runner-up. Now, without delay, we present our Celebrity of the Year ⦠the incomparable Britney Spears!
With the type of year the former international sex symbol had, it wasn't exactly a close race for this award. When a living, breathing train wreck like Britney Spears is in the news every hour of every day, everyone else is playing for second.
Eyes bloodshot, wearing a leopard-print dress and a pink wig, Britney Spears drives around aimlessly in Los Angeles. That sums up the past few months right there.
Since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline at the end of 2006, Britney's life has been in a tailspin, resulting in countless traffic incidents, custody hearings, photos of her clubbing in no underwear, family drama, and random ass dudes and pals.
From Isaac Cohen, Jason Filyaw, Daimon Shippen, Tony Barretto, Alli Sims, Sam Lutfi and Howie Day to Mark Vincent Kaplan, Robert Edie, J.R. Rotem, Lucy Walsh and some celebrity gossip photographer named Adnan, the list of once anonymous peeps Spears has brought into her life - and our site - continues to grow.
As far as her family life goes, well, that's been no less turbulent. Aside from the two adorable little mistakes - Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 - that she routinely neglects, Britney has been estranged from her mother, Lynne Spears, for much of the year. Oh, and 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears recently got pregnant.
A very brief list of Britney Spears highlights from the year:
- Shaving her head (February)
- Attacking paparazzi with umbrella (February)
- Leaving rehab, partying immediately (March)
- A drug overdose with Howie Day (May)
- J.R. Rotem hitting that wheelbarrow style (June)
- Random topless photos emerge (August)
- Giving Tony Romo lap dance (October)
- Running red light while texting (November)
- Pregnancy rumors surface (November-December)
Clearly, our Celebrity of the Year could be no one else. Congratulations, Britney Spears, and thank you for all you've given us. Keep up the good work, baby.

her index finger is looking like it has burn marks which occur from smoking crack. The tilt of the lighter burns the nails i noticed it on amy whinehouse as well

Britney needs help and nothing like the help she has been given so far! people MUST think of her children... she is their mother and famous or not they need her. She needs to have someone in her life that does'nt use her for their own gain, there are many more celebs on drugs but they just havent been caught yet... maybe thats why none are offering to help as they may become exposed.
The whole thing is ridiculous the poor girl hasn't got a single person in her life that doesn't want to make money off her including her family and paparazzi, must we have another Anna Nicole situation before people realise that she is a person! if she is on suicide watch then im sorry but 'suicide' is wrong, there are so many people responsible for her situation then if the worst happened it wouldnt far from 'getting away with murder'. The courts can see it... nobody wins!
