VH1's Big In '04 had all the buzz on the year that was, and boy, what a year it was!

From the Red Sox to the "red states," 2004 was surreal and full of surprises, scandals and thrills. Pop culture icon Nick Lachey hosted; Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Maroon 5, and Velvet Revolver rocked the house; and such headline generating celebrities as Donald Trump, Jamie Foxx, Mandy Moore, Josh Duhamel, Paris Hilton, William Shatner, Anna Nicole Smith, Stevie Wonder and Usher attended and participated. The third annual Big special was taped at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, December 1st and premieres on VH1 on Sunday, December 5th at 9PM ET/PT.
