SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether "Lost" in the wild like a Fox or another Foxx playing a talent recently lost... a "Desperate" blonde or brunette... a media man or muckraker... or just a one-of-a-kind precious Stone, "VH1 Big in '04" brings them all together for a night of celebrating the year that was. Pop culture phenomenon Nick Lachey will lead the broadcast as this years' host alongside presenters Donald Trump, P. Diddy, Jamie Foxx, Matthew Fox, Eva Longoria, Mandy Moore, Michael Moore and Joss Stone who join an already lengthy list of participants for the irreverent annual tribute that celebrates and skewers the biggest people, trends and moments of the year.
