Britney’s head-shave meltdown and Paris Hilton going to jail – here are the events that will turn TEN years old in 2017
WHETHER you've been having fun or not, it's fair to say that time flies.
We are waving goodbye to yet another eventful year but, as we greet 2017 with open arms, we can't help but look back on the happenings of years gone by.
Namely the year 2007 - with a number momentous events which will soon be celebrating their tenth anniversary.
Take a look back at these stories which now happened almost a decade ago and prepare to feel very old...
Britney Spears shaved her head
That’s right as of 2017 it will officially be ten years since our jaws dropped to the floor as we woke up to the news Britney Spears had shaved her head.
In a moment which shocked the globe, Britney turned up at a California tattoo parlour and shaved herd head in full view of the paparazzi.
Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz called time on their romance
If we’re honest we probably forgot they were ever together but after Britney and before Jessica Biel, came Cameron.
According to friends of Justin Timberlake he allegedly told friends: “Me and Cameron, we’re done.”
Harsh Justin. But at least he didn’t make a music video where he broke into her house.
The birth of Princess Andre
She's hit the headlines recently for her Instagram selfies and pre-adolescent posing but can you believe Princess Andre was born almost ten years ago?
Back before we all had to decide if we were Team Katie or Team Peter, before Alex Reid became Roxanne and Katie's husband number three cheated with her bestie, there was just Katie, Peter, Harvey, Junior and a series of ITV2 cameras.
It was a simpler time.
The last Harry Potter book was published
The final instalment in the book series that had us all hooked came out almost ten years ago.
That's right - almost a decade since we locked ourselves away and panic read the final Potter novel for fear of someone spoiling the ending for us.
We've now got the eight-part film series, a Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them spin off movie and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child the play... whatever next? Harry Potter theme parks? Oh wait...

Jade Goody causes a national incident by 'bullying' Shilpa Shetti in the Celebrity Big Brother house
We all still remember the moment Jade Goody was evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house after a number of fiery exchanges with Bollywood star Shilpa Shetti.
The usually baying crowd was replaced with an eerie silence as Channel 4 decided it wouldn't be appropriate for Jade to meet what would inevitably be a mob, on the other side of those doors.
Following the fallout Jade apologised to Shilpa and all was forgiven, she even went onto Indian Big Brother in an attempt to build bridges with the angry nation.
She tragically died of cancer just two years later.
Mischa Barton got a DUI
The stunning O.C. girl next door got arrested back in 2007 for driving under the influence and without a valid license.
She addressed her very public fall from grace in an interview with Ryan Seacrest when she said: “Obviously, I’m 100% responsible for my actions in this case and I’m really disappointed in myself."
The Spice Girls reunited
That's right, we didn't say the Spice Girls launched their third album or made Christmas number one... we said they actually reunited.
That epic Girl Power reunion was actually almost a decade ago, with Posh, Baby, Sporty, Ginger and Scary taking to the stage for the first time since 1998 when Geri broke our hearts and broke up the band.
Paris Hilton went to jail
The year of the badly behaved socialite 2007 also saw Paris Hilton get banged up behind bars for repeated driving offences including a DUI and driving on a suspended license.
She was sentenced to 45 days in jail of which she served 23.
Despite the whole situation being a "traumatic experience" for her she still managed to swing by Larry King to describe the ordeal for him (and his audience).
Jamie-Lynn Spears announced her pregnancy
2007 was certainly an eventful year in the Spears household, with her older sister apparently in the grips of a meltdown, Jamie-Lynn Spears announces that she is expecting at age 16.
She gave birth to her daughter Maddie in 2008.
Steve Jobs launched the iPhone
At the start of 2007 you had never even seen one of these puppies but these days you would probably have to have it surgically removed from your hand in order to put it down.
It is almost ten years since Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched his multimedia device combining music, internet and phone.
Who would have known that would catch on...?
