From the Jonas Brothers to "High School Musical 3," 2008 was the year of the tween sensation. We witnessed Michael Phelps winning a record eight gold medals at the summer Olympics and the birth of twins for both Brad and Angelina and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. There were shocking splits (Madonna and Guy Ritchie) and scandals from Elliot Spitzer to John Edwards. Of course you can't talk about 2008 without mentioning the election and the names, Obama, McCain, Palin and Clinton. Other memorable news from the year included the pregnant man, FLDS, the disappearance of Caylee Anthony and the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. The magazine's year-end issue, which hits newsstands on Friday, December 19th, takes a look back at the people and events that captured the interest of the American public in 2008-for better or for worse. People.com correspondent Michelle Beadle discusses the "Best (and Worst) of 2008," plus the year's most "Shocking Splits," and "2008's Celebrities of the Year."
