2008 is a leap year! Not really a cause to celebrate, but nevertheless... X17 decided to take a look back at last year! No February 29th in 2007, so the last day of the month was the 28th.

What was going on then?

Britney left rehab! Well, only briefly - she went to an AA meeting in Santa Monica, which was her very first time leaving Promises! Even if it was only for a short while. And what else?

Paris Hilton's car got impounded! Check out Paris back then - from her hair to her clothes, she just looks so different!

Is this because Lindsay allegedly hooked up with Brody back in January? Payback time!

The Hills star Lauren Conrad was spotted out and about yesterday in black leggings. Hey, Lindsay's abandoned hers for short shorts - leggings need love, too!

Question is, who looks better in them: L.C. or LiLo?

Personally, I <3 Winona Ryder. Always have, always will. Her career may be over - unfortunately! - but she's got a string of too many great movie characters to ever be forgotten as an actress. (Consider Beetlejuice, Heathers and Reality Bites, to name just a few!)

Here's the chic-looking starlet attending Valentino's fashion show in Paris this week. Work it, Winona!

Aww - what a good mom!

Former 90210er Tori Spelling was spotted at Hansen's Cakes in Beverly Hills the other day with baby Liam, who has his first birthday on March 13th!

Congrats, Liam! Those cakes look de-lish.

Jessica Alba's pregnancy might prevent her from partaking in Fashion Week as much as she would ordinarily - but that doesn't mean she can't get something for a few months down the road!

Our Parisian correspondents caught Jess slipping out of some of the Fashion Week festivities yesterday afternoon in the City of Lights.

Hopefully the Dark Angel picked herself out something nice for the fall - after all, she's not gonna be pregnant forever!

What happened to Elisha Cuthbert's career? With TV's 24 and starring in hit teen flicks like The Girl Next Door, the Canadian native was poised to be a big breakout star.

Guess Captivity didn't help things.

BTW, we miss the longer locks, Elisha! Your House of Wax look was the hottest - time to grow the hair out again!

We caught Paris' new boyfriend Benji Madden just moments after he got a new tat last night - no, not the one on his neck! This one's on his stomach.

Think it's for Paris?

Despite her portrayal of Lucy Spiller on Dirt, Courteney Cox rarely has much time for the paps - but last night at Beso, we must have caught her in-character!

The former Friend left the trendy Hollywood eatery in a fine mood last night, pausing to sign autographs and pose for pics with fans.

Of course, as smokin' hot as Courteney was looking, we can't blame her for putting on a show - hell, if we looked like as much like the eternally fine Demi Moore as Courteney did last night, we'd make sure the cameras caught us too!

We spotted Matt Dillon bidding a sincere goodbye to his lunch date outside Mozza yesterday afternoon.

And yes, that really is Matt - not Kevin! They're really looking similar these days, huh?

Hey, Five Brothers is a popular show - who wouldn't want to look like Johnny Drama?

Having been reunited with her old pal Samantha Ronson, seems like Lindsay may be up to her old tricks.

Club hopping from new hot-spot Foxtail to GOA, we're hoping Lilo stuck to drinking water - but at least she let Samantha do the driving!

Page Six is reporting that Tom Brady may be the newest bod to don a pair of Calvin's (and nothing else).

Apparently, Calvin is "confident that Brady will blow the competition out of the water."

Gisele is one lucky lady!

Ryan Phillippe was hiding behind his hat while leaving Foxtail, Adrian Grenier was hiding behind his cause at Villa, and poor Tara Reid was trying to hide while being denied!

The C-Lister had to wait an interminable time behind the velvet rope (one pap even commented on the "uncomfortable silence" as she waited for the door guy to give her the yea or nay), before she eventually got her entourage in, while the onlookers applauded!

Meanwhile, Brittny Gastineau, in a tie-dyed dress, breezed right in! Since when does one or two measly shows on E! trump American Pie and countless plastic surgery disasters? Ok, Brittny was solo, so maybe that helped.

Oh, and we also got a few words from porn legend Ron Jeremy.

TV Guide reports that former O.C. star Mischa Barton was offered the role of "reformed party girl" Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl - but the actress' rep tells Us that while she was approached, "she will not be on the show."

WHAT! Bad move, Mischa. Return to your nighttime soap opera roots! Unless you really, ya know, wanna keep making spectacularly amazing movies?

Serena and Blair of Gossip Girl are basically the new Marissa and Summer (from The O.C.) anyway - why wouldn't you wanna be a part of that?

It certainly seems like everyone is in Paris for the last of the Fall Fashion shows.

Last night, Rihanna, Hip Hop superstar Kanye West and his fiancée Alexis Phifer, Vivica Fox, Jimmy Jean-Louis from "Heroes" shone at the Swarovski Party.

Vivica especially sparkled in a sequined dress - did you love it or hate it?

Ever wonder how Brooke Hogan stays so trim?

Slapping on a pound of makeup (for extra resistance training?) and letting her hair go loose, photogs just happened to catch Brooke in the middle of a workout with a friend in Miami, where she's shooting another season of Hogan Knows Best.

Or could it be she's just running away from the image of her father cheating on her mother with one of her girlfriends, as the National Enquirer claims?

Mary-Kate and Ashley showed up for Uncle Karl's RTW show in Paris today decked out in Chanel (well, MK, at least in her two toned sunglasses and quilted handbag.)

But it seems like there may be some mutual admiration goin' on there - apparently the show was full of Olsen lookalikes, according to the AP, complete with disheveled 'dos!

Wonder if Karl's planning on putting out his own coffee table book of "inspirations" featuring the twins?

At long last, the cops admit it - Amy's not a pervert!

The Sun is reporting that Scotland Yard has declared that no charges will be brought against the singing sensation in connection to an alleged conspiracy to pervert the course of justice for her husband Blake Fielder-Civil's ongoing case.

“A 24-year-old woman arrested by appointment at an east London police station on December 18 will not be required to answer bail following advice from the Crown Prosecution Service," a Yard spokesman told the Sun. "No further action will be taken.”

Amy's rep, of course, was quick to chime in with his client's elation at her release from police scrutiny, declaring that "Amy is pleased to be discounted from the investigation and thanks the police for their professionalism in their dealings with her."

Whew! Hopefully this sets the stage for Amy to make her way across the pond again soon - as soon as she's fully rehabbed, that is!

Ashlee may have revealed recently that she's not engaged, only "promised" to Pete, but she definitely seems to have more than a promise ring wrapped around her finger!

Pete not only donned what looked like his soon-to-be fiancee's hoodie, but was carrying her YSL bag to the car as well!

Who knew it was Ashlee who wore the size 2 skinny jeans in that relationship?

Owen Wilson must be part polar bear!

Despite the fog, the rain, and the chill, we caught Drillbit Taylor himself taking another dip in the ocean yesterday morning.

No sign of his dog, though - looks like Owen's sticking to two-legged friends for now!

Britney wore a sexy belly-baring top to rehearse at Millenium dance studio yesterday.

Guess we can finally put those Adnan pregnancy rumors to rest!

The Star is reporting that Jennifer Aniston hooked up with sexy Sex and the City star Jason Lewis at the Miramax pre-Oscar party.

That was on February 23, the same night Jen could have crossed paths with Brangelina at The Night Before benefit at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The report claims a source says the two were playing footsie under the table and that Jen was "rubbing her foot up his calf!"

Well we don't know what happened that night but the next night, Jen was at pal Courteney Cox's Oscar party with this hottie!

So which is it and WHO is it?! We still haven't ID'd this guy but we're told he's a Canadian actor Jen met on the set while filming Traveling in Vancouver.

remember this back in August 2006?

The Sun is reporting that William Spears, Brit's uncle, has said that Brit's now pregnant sis Jamie Lynn was unplanned just like her own unborn baby!

The guy doesn't have Britney's millions; he's just "country," living in a trailer somewhere in Louisiana -- so could it be that he's spouting these quotes for some media $$$?

Anyway, according to The Sun, Willy Spears says Brit and Jamie Lynn's dad Jamie was shocked when he found out his then-wife Lynne was pregnant again, because he had a vasectomy after the birth of Brit!

Then, as a show of solidarity with his wife, the couple decided not to do a DNA test but to name the kid Jamie Lynn in honor of what he believed they had miraculously created together, despite is operation. Awwww!!!
