In the rearview mirror, objects often look smaller than they did when we passed them. Lots of people were thrown--or threw themselves--into the spotlight this year, many of whom we will never see again, unless they have shrewd publicists or the reality shows get desperate. But they can always think with fondness or remorse of 2005, when, for a while, theirs were the names on everyone's lips.

JENNIFER WILBANKS Runaway bride must repay the city--but did she keep the Crock-Pot?

DAISY WRIGHT The nanny broke up Jude Law and Sienna Miller, at least for now. Her real impact? More jobs for matronly baby sitters

NICK LACHEY Post-split, Mr. Jessica Simpson may get the Land Rover. But probably not the attention

ASHLEY SMITH The well-prepared Georgia hostage got free by offering Christian literature to her captor--oh, and crystal meth

EDWARD MOSS: Upside of looking like Michael Jackson: got to play him on E! Downside: see upside

TARA REID Fading starlet lost her girls-gone-wild travel show, Taradise. Could Paris Hilton go next?

JOHN O'HURLEY Character actor cha-cha-chaed his way to B-level celebrity on Dancing with the Stars

W. MARK FELT As the mysterious Deep Throat, he was endlessly fascinating. Revealed in his twilight years as a former FBI official? Less so

MIREILLE GUILIANO: French Women Don't Get Fat author made buttery croissants très O.K.

MICHAEL BROWN The former FEMA head not only fumbled the Katrina evacuation but also fluffed up his résumé
