In order to demonstrate our extreme case of pop culture amnesia, every Sunday I bring you What a difference a year makes, a pleasant retrospective on our favorite celebrity self-loathing-inducers' past. One year ago today, here's what everyone was talking about:

• If Colin Farrell was really as bloated as he looked in these pictures, Miami Vice might make you sort of sick to your stomach. [Perez Hilton]

• Paris Hilton could no longer bear the symbolic weight of her sham marriage plans manifested through her enormous engagement ring, left the ring, and later the man, at home. [The Superficial]

• Kevin Connolly nabbed himself the other Hilton and he sure as hell wasn't about to let her go. [DListed]

• Thanks to some last minute photoshop genius we were saved from the sight of Mariah Carey's pubes. [Gawker]

• We also learned that one time someone actually did love Jennifer Aniston. Not, Brad Pitt, mind you, but someone. [Defamer]

• The cinematic masterpiece that was The Dukes of Hazzard premiered, raising the bar for films everywhere. [PopSugar]

• Oh, and Mischa Barton showed us some tit. [A Socialite's Life]
