Before her Blackout, before the VMAs and before the Jamie Lynn pregnancy scandal, Britney had a message for her fans and the media that she delivered XCLUSIVELY to X17 in Valley Speak way back in April. Memba that?

Watch our X17 rewind for a look at vintage Britney!

Where were you when you first saw these XCLUSIVE pix, which caused quite a stir when they hit the web way back in September of '07?

Who would have thought one of the celebrity court cases of the year would involve Paris Hilton's violation of probation that sent her to jail for an initial DUI?!?

After being released from Lynwood after serving part of her initial sentence (due to a mystery "illness", Paris was forced to ride back to jail, in the back of a cop car, to serve out the rest of her unusually tough sentence.

With all the media circus surrounding the incident, you woulda thought she'd a pulled an O.J.!

But Paris managed to survive the craziness, and has come out the other side a better person, not to mention, even more famous than before!

Who could forget these pix of the former teen queen of pop shaving her head?

Thank goodness it's all grown back (with a little help from extensions!)

These two have become inseparable lately (well, whenever she's in town, anyway). Has Paris finally found a suitable baby daddy? They'd definitely make some gorgeous children!

The Vanessa and Ashley show went on the road (or at least to the drive thru) yesterday where they caused a major commotion!

Trying to place their order through a giggling fit, the girls at first angered the counterperson, until she saw who it was! Screaming as she had her picture taken with Hollywood's newest "It" girls, the employee shouted "she was cute, she was nice!"

2007 was a tough year for Linz - a coupla stints in rehab, a coupla trips to the police station - she seemed on a downward spiral when we snapped these pix of her back in May, just days after she crashed her car on Sunset, and was subsequently charged with a DUI:

But after a second stint in rehab in Utah this summer, Lindsay's life seems to be finally back on track, and she appears happier and healthier than ever!

According to Us, the pair was seen "chatting", "flirting" and "making out" at LA's Central on Saturday night.

Oooh, the next season of The Hills is gonna be good!!

Ahhh, February 2007 -- what a month! It's the month that will go down in history as the month of Britney Spears' breakdown. She shaved her head, went to rehab, and beat an X17 car with an umbrella (for which she later apologized)!

Here's a look back on some stories I did earlier this year in which we reviewed the events leading up the this fateful month:

A Britney Timeline: Part 1 - The Paris Phase (first posted March 21):

We're gonna take a look back at Britney, from the time she and Kevin announced their split, all the way up to her release from rehab today -- the wild ride of our favorite pop star, on which X17 has ridden shotgun.

Perhaps what tipped it all off was the announcement on November 13 that Britney would file for divorce from Kevin ...

Britney and Paris were introduced in Vegas on November 20 and two days later Brit was at Hilton's Hollywood Hills house partying until the wee hours of the morning, with William Morris agent Jason Trawick.

The next day, Britney and Jason, still wearing the same clothes as the night before, were out shopping together in Santa Monica at The Right Start baby supply store. That evening, Britney and Paris were back together, this time at Teddy's in Hollywood.

The next night, the Wonder Twins headed out to Hyde and Britney, for the first time, shoed the word she was free and natural under her skirt! On the 25th, Britney and Paris shopped in Malibu with baby Sean along for the ride.

Later that Saturday night, Paris and Brit went out partying again and showed off their new look -- shared fishnet stockings! The next night the Twins wore matching shirts as they left Paris' house to party again ...

The pair joined their estranged pal Lindsay Lohan at the Beverly Hills hotel on Monday (actually early Tuesday morning) where Oops!, she did it again ...

The Timeline parts 2 - 4 inside ...

It looks like Lindsay sure has been enjoying her time in Capri, Italy these last few days... and it's not because of the film festival!

A reputable Italian journalist has informed us that LiLo just might be slipping back into her old habits - spending 500 euros on alcohol and then spending the night with a new man! Check out these pix below:

According to our inside source, Linds first met Fabrizio, a young Italian musician pictured above. They exchanged phone numbers at a bar and later went out clubbing together... with lots of kissing going on! The night finally ended up In Lindsay's hotel room. Work it, Linds!

The day after, LiLo was spotted flirting with Italian actor Edoardo Costa (below), where the two went to his room at the Hotel La Palma in Capri later in the night...

Is Linds back to her old ways? Nothing wrong with havin' some fun with the boys, but let's hope she isn't partying too much with them!

It seems to me - and I think she'd agree - that Christina Aguilera is totally ready to give birth. Check out these pics and decide for yourself!

Peace, y'all!

Our girl Brit stopped by Virgin for some quick shopping earlier this weekend, and now check out the vid below of the pap frenzy that ensued in the parking structure and in the store! Wherever Brit goes, excitement follows!

I mean puppy! The sultry diva is still in Aspen as of yesterday, showin' off her most prized possessions. Work it, Mariah!

Lookin' chic, Paris! The hotel heiress- who just returned from Hawaii - was caught out and about in Beverly Hills and graciously posed with a fan before heading off to pick up boyfriend Alex! Now that's hot.

Remember SNL's Jimmy Fallon? Well, he just got married in the Caribbean to producer Nancy Juvonen! Nancy owns Flower Films with Drew Barrymore, and all three worked on Fever Pitch together in 2005.

No, it's not the wedding of the year, but congrats nonetheless!

Rich and sexy supermodel Gisele Bundchen was spotted shopping around New York this weekend with some pals. While freezing cold NY is a far cry from mountain biking in Sydney, we're still happy to see Gisele out and about! But where's Tom?

Looks like the fam is back from Aspen! Check out hot good mommy Heidi Klum getting her shop on in Beverly Hills yesterday evening with her precious daughter. Can this twosome get any cuter? We think not!

No matter where they go, High School Musical stars slash pals Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale always cause a pap frenzy! Here's the duo hitting up a Beverly Hills salon this weekend - but hey, didn't Ashley already have a makeover?

People reports that Oscar de la Hoya and Millie Corretjer, pictured above, have a new baby girl named Nina Lauren Nenitte de la Hoya. Born Saturday in Puerto Rico, Nina is the couple's second child together - Oscar has two kids from previous relationships.

Happy Holidays to the fam!

We know that Nicolette Sheridan really loves Michael Bolton, but isn't this a tad too... suggestive?

And now Michael's gettin' slap-happy!
