We love End Of The Year Lists!New York Magazine has compiled a list of The Best Quotes of 2007. Consider it an opportunity to remind yourself that most of us are a lot smarter than celebrities. Take Mel B. for instance, who responded “Who’s Lee King?” when she was asked her opinion on the Spice Girls’ music leaking onto the Internet. Or Tommy Lee’s patent of the new catchphrase Kid Pebble after his MTV VMAs scuffle with fellow Anderson ex Kid Rock. And who could forget Paris Hilton responding “I like them all!” When Larry King prompted her to quote her favorite scripture during her first post-jail interview.

Here’s a sample of some of the Best Quotes of 2007:
