interviews explaining exactly why these 40 videos are the very best of '07.
Among the many artists making this year's countdown are The Killers, Kanye
West, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Nickelback, Pink, Alicia Keys and Rihanna. The
Top 40 videos were determined by record sales, downloads, and time spent on

2007 was the year of the celebrity. Don't argue. Just accept it. And
"Celebrity Eye Candy: Best of '07" is here to sum it all up. Lindsay.
Paris. Britney. This year-end wrap has all their lunacy, bizarre behavior
and amazing genius. It will cover a year of terrible driving, shocking
arrests and inappropriate touching. Plus, it's got Matthew McConaughey's
total year of 'dudeness,' Suri Cruise being cuter than a whole new
generation of budding superbabies and Amy Winehouse in all her toothy
glory. If a big star took off their clothes, said something ridiculous or
just ate a funny sandwich, it's going to be in this show-- and you're going
to love it. In other words, if you have even the slightest interest in the
flaws, failures and triumphs of the famous or nearly famous this year,
"Celebrity Eye Candy: Best of '07" is the only show you need to watch. No
host. No talking heads. Just wall to wall famous people in all-new footage
and photos.
