With the new year approaching, now is the time to reflect on 2014 — more specifically, 2014 selfies. There were shirtless selfies, cleavage selfies, selfies that sucked, and that time Kim Kardashian’s butt almost broke the Internet. Butt we digress — see what we did there? Check out this year’s most vital celebrity selfies and tell us: What does your year look like in selfies? In case you place of protection’t already seen it, Nicki Minaj‘s #SoloSelfie for Beats by Dre is very vital. Watch it before the year is up.

Is it possible that Brooke Shields invented the selfie? Probably not, but the actress has been taking selfies since at least the ’90s. Watch her discuss her throwback photos with Huge Morning Buzz Live host Nick Lachey.
