Everything About These Entertainment Magazines From 2004 Is So 2004

So, remember 2004? If you're over the age of 14, I sincerely hope that you do. It was a magical time — a time when Paris Hilton was at the top of her game (the "famous for being famous game," which she's no longer even really playing), Britney Spears had just married K-Fed, and Edward Cullen was still just a dream boy in Stephenie Meyer's mind. A lot can change in 10 years, and these magazine covers prove just how true that is. Check out these 17 magazine covers that will remind you of everything that happened in the entertainment world in 2004.
