Here we are 365 days later, and Rosie’s out, Whoopi’s in, and our beloved talk show hosts are poised for a comeback after a work stoppage by Hollywood writers tossed all of our late night shows into reruns. And let’s not even get into Ellen DeGeneres’s dog trouble. What a difference a year makes!

Here, then, are this year’s Top Ten Stories of 2007.
