Part I: Anna Nicole Gone, Britney Shorn

2007: It was a year that started with a bang—would you classify Tara Reid unsuccessfully attempting to count backwards from 60 any other way?—and ended with one protracted, stalemated whimper, filled with not-so-shocking (and yet totally shocking!) deaths, outrageous pregnancies, and a visit from the transformative robots of our youth.
