Bridezilla! -- the word that describes the pressure cooker of planning that drives brides-to-be ballistic has become a part of the nation's vernacular.

WE: WOMEN'S ENTERTAINMENT unveils the 'Bridezillas of 2004'. At the top of the '2004 Bridezilla Index' is Star Jones Reynolds, closely followed by Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez.

The 'Bridezilla Index' also predicts celebrities who are most likely to become brides-behaving-badly in 2005. The Index reveals that bridezilla-prone celebs of the year include Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Camilla Parker-Bowles, should they become engaged to their longtime loves.

The cable network, WE: Women's Entertainment first introduced the nation to brides-gone-wild with the reality series Bridezillas, in June 2004.

Seemingly sweet and normal women become controlling and bossy and as they navigate their way through wedding-planning stress, with the ultimate goal in sight - to have the Perfect Wedding Day. A new season of the popular series will premiere on WE in June, 2005 - just in time for Spring Brides!
