This day in 2004, ONTD was created! Just a little celebrity gossip community on LiveJournal, who would have guessed that we'd still be here 14 years later, with over 380,000 entries made, and over 66 million comments posted?

Sorry that my birthday graphic is a measly screenshot
I decided to do a little look-back at the first posts made on June 26, 2004, but it seems that the community wasn't active until July 8, 2004. With no headlines, photos, sources, tags, or formatting.... I present to you some riveting first few posts:
The first ever ONTD post:
Britney Spears buys her own engagement ring for her upcoming marriage to Kevin Federline
-A post notifying the community that Hilary Duff will be on the Jay Leno show that night. (Lots of H.Duff hate in the comments!)
-A mish-mash of celebrity news that really encapulated 2004: JT/Cameron Diaz, Britney prenup speculation, Hilary Duff and Joel Madden stuff, and "Does Kristen hate Tobey more than I do?"
