We saw her here twice at the end of the year at the L.A Live Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and as a surprise guest at Madonna's Dodger Stadium concert in November.

Britney was the most talked about celeb on the newspapers scale for eleven weeks in 2008.

Also high on the "Celebrity Heat Index" was Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt.

USA Today says that, individually, the three rank after Spears. But put them all together, and stories on the trio dominated the entertainment news this year.

Other highlights were:

  • Hottest Breakthrough: Robert Pattinson

  • Hottest Breakup: Madonna and Guy Ritchie

  • Hottest Mom: Jamie Lynn Spears
