"What Was I Thinking????"



She is going on a media blitz!

Lindsay Lohan is on the cover of the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, saying things that will probably come back to haunt her.

Here are some HIGHlights from the interview.

On partying, but being a homebody at the same time:
“I have it in me to go, go, go. I’m still young. I love life. I love music and being around that. I love people, and I’m a very social person. But I also love being home, quiet and normal…I’ve always been a homebody…Seriously…I was just running away from what my home had become.”

On the last year:
“When I look back on this last year, it’s like, what was I thinking?”

On the paparazzi:
“The cameras are constantly there, and they’re constantly looking for the negative. So one roll of the eyes and you’re deemed drunk. One wrong step, your ankle twists, and you’re drunk. They can declare, ‘Lindsay drunk in the day!’ Which I never was in my life, actually.”

On her dreams of a music career:
“I’d love to work with Timbaland. I’d love to work with Kanye West, 50 Cent if I could.”

On the one thing she can’t give up:
“I always feel like I need a cigarette with coffee. But I’m trying to smoke less.”

This Is Disgusting



Is nothing sacred for him????

Larry Birkhead continues to pimp out his daughter!

Anna Nicole Smith's sperm donor took their daughter, Dannielynn, to visit the grave of her mother for the first time. And, of course, OF COURSE he brought along Entertainment Tonight to exploit the child and get ratings from the sensationalistic coverage.

Heath Ledger's family would never disrespect their departed son like this!

Naturally, Larry sat down with E.T., and the news show is gonna milk the interview over a few episodes.



LARRY AND DANNIELYNN BIRKHEAD VISIT THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH ON THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH

February 5, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)– ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT's JANN CARL was exclusively with Larry Birkhead and daughter Dannielynn this week in Nassau, Bahamas as the 17-month-old made her first trip back to visit her mother and brother's graves, one year after her mother's sudden death.

In an a multi-part interview to begin airing on Wednesday, February 6th, Birkhead says the visit is difficult for him, but he arranged it for his daughter, "It's tough. Even though she doesn't understand, it was important for us to come. One day I can tell her that we went to visit her mom." When they arrived at the unmarked gravesites, Dannielynn placed a pink toy turtle on Anna Nicole's plot and whispered, "mama."

On why the graves of Anna Nicole and Daniel are without tombstones, Birkhead says, "A rough draft came back with a sketch of a picture I didn't care for. I could just hear her hitting me over the head saying, 'Why did you let that picture go down!?'" Birkhead reveals that the design of the headstone will be "so grand and big. It's going to encompass Daniel's stone too."

When asked how he feels about making the journey from Los Angeles to Nassau, Birkhead speaks candidly, "I don't like the fact that they're here, I never did. I know that Daniel didn't want to be here and I know that his mother was only here because of what was going on between us with the paternity question. To me it feels really odd." On if he has considered moving the graves, he says, "I'm going to leave the decision to Dannielynn when she's older. It would probably be very hard, if not impossible to take both of them and I definitely don't want to separate them."

In an effort to keep Anna's memory alive for their daughter, Birkhead tells ET, "I keep a lot of memories around. I quiz her and she knows Mama. I say, 'Where's Mama?' and she'll give Mama a kiss on the picture."

Every Little Bit

Lynne Spears' entire declaration to the court and her shocking allegations against Osama Lutfi!

I, Lynne Spears, declare:

I am the mother of Britney Spears (“Britney”)., who is the subject of this action. I have personal knowledge of each of the facts set forth in this Declaration, and can testify completely thereto, except as this matters stated on information and belief, and as to such matters I believe them to be true.

This past Monday night (Jan. 28), Britney’s father, Jamie, and I (in separate cars) went to Britney’s house in Beverly Hills because we had heard news reports that Britney had just been in a big fight with Sam Lufti aka Sam Lufti (“sam”), the man who has inserted himself into my daughter’s life, home and finances, and that she was crying. We were very concerned about her safety. We arrived at the Summit Community gatehouse in BHPO at approximately 10 p.m. I was with my friend Jackie.

The guards at the gatehouse stopped us there for awhile. Jackie, Jamie and I finally proceeded to Britney’s house and entered it. We were able to enter the house because it was not locked. Britney does not lock her doors and currently there are no security guards around her residence. Britney was not home. We found Sam, and sam said as we walked in the door that Britney only wanted me to come to the house, and that she was afraid to see her dad.

Two or three paparazzi came into the house and entered the kitchen. They greeted Sam. The paparazzi then reported to Sam where Britney currently was. From the conversation between Sam and the paparazzi I determined that sam had given Felipe (another paparazzi) one of Britney’s cars to get her out of the house when he heard that Jamie and I were on our way to see Britney. I also understood from the conversation that Sam disabled all of Britney's cars. (she has several at her residence.)

Sam had told Britney that Jamie and I were coming to the house to do an intervention, and that Britney panicked and took off with Felipe. Another man named Chad Hardcastle was in the house.

I also heard the evening that Britney’s and Sam’s fight that evening, Sam had told Britney that she was an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore, that she cares more about Adnan, her current boyfriend, than she cares about her kids, and that she does not deserve her kids.

The paparazzi reported to Sam and addressed him with great respect. They treated him like a general. He instructed them to get her back to the house. They later told Sam that Britney was on her way back.

Britney then came back to the house with Adnan, who is also a paparazzi. Sam then told Jackie that we needed to do whatever he tells us. I objected. He then told me, “I’m the one who spends 24/7 with your daughter. I sleep in cars outside her house so she can’t leave.” Sam then said, “You people throw everyone under the bus, if you don’t listen to me I’m going to make your name sh** in the papers.”



As I looked around the kitchen, I noticed that in the middle of the kitchen table there was a large car battery. At some point during the evening I learned that the car battery was there so Sam could charge his cell phone. Although Britney has several cell phones, he told us that he had disposed of all of the phone chargers and had made the house phones unworkable.

Sam told Jackie and me to tell ADnan to leave Britney alone and to get the F*** out of the house. Jackie refused. Sam then said to tell Britney that Adnan is gay. Adnan stayed at the house a little longer. Sam quietly said something to Adnan and Adnan promptly left the house.

Britney came into the room looking for Adnan. Sam told her that Adnan was in the bathroom. Britney then asked me, “Is Adnan gay?” While Britney was out of earshot, Sam told Jackie and me that we should pretend that Adnan was in the bathroom so Britney wouldn’t leave.

Britney then became very agitated and could not stop moving. She cleaned the house. She changed her clothes many times. She also changed her three dogs’ clothes many times. Britney spoke to me in a ###### and with the level of understanding of a very young girl. Britney then picked up a bottle of pill sand read part of the label and asked us, “What does insomnia mean?” Sam told her that the pills will help her stay awake.

Sam told Jackie and me that he grinds up Britney’s pills, which were on the counter and included Risperdol and Seroquel. He told us that he puts them in her food that that was the reason she had been quiet for the last three days (she had been sleeping.) He told us that the doctor who is treating her now is trying to get her into a sleep-induced coma so that they could then give her drugs to heal her brain.

Sam then encouraged us to sit down on a sofa and do “tequila shots.” Jackie and I said we did not want to. Britney seemed to follow our lead. Sam then got some wine out and said, “Let’s all do toasts with wine.” Britney said that she didn’t want to, she wanted a pretty glass. Sam found a glass with a stem and poured wine for Britney when we were not looking. Britney refused to drink her wine and asked to drink mine.

Shortly afterward, Sam went back into the kitchen and was standing behind a raised bar so that we could not see what his hands were doing on the counter. Sam then said to Britney, “let’s go upstairs,” and Britney followed him. Britney had calmed down by the time she went upstairs.

A little while later, Britney came downstairs. She seemed agitated again and told us that she wanted to go to Rite Aid for lipsticks. It was now past midnight. Jackie and I said we would take her. Sam told us that he wanted to follow us in his car. We told him that he shouldn’t because the paparazzi were in front of the neighbor’s house and would harass us. As were were about to drive off, Sam jumped into the bask seat of the car. The paparazzi followed. Sam and I were sitting in the back seat, with Chad as well. He told me that he gave Britney something (when they were upstairs) to make her more light-hearted, happy, and fun. We entered Rite Aid and Britney chose her lipstick. The manager said it is dangerous out there, which it was. When Britney gave the cashier her credit card, the cahsier told her it was not working. I paid for the lipstick and the manager told us we could leave through the side door so no one could see us. Sam insisted we leave through the front door and he put his arms around Britney and me for the paparazzi to take photos. I disengaged as quickly as I could.

Sam told me,” You’d better learn that I control everything. I control Howard Grossman, Britney’s business manger. I control her attorney's and the security guards at the gate. They don’t listen to Britney, they listen to me. That’s why Jamie was gone tonight.”

At another point in the evening, Sam bragged to me that he is the one who receives Britney's checks and that one of them was for me. I told Sam that I hadn't gotten any checks from Britney. Sam then told me that they are in his car. He told me that if he weren't in the house to give Britney her medicine, she would kill herself. Then he said to me "If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave."

He then proclaimed that he has been in the family for a year and that he had one nothing but good for Britney. At this point, it was two or three in the morning. Britney was meandering around the house. She would let me hug her, but she was out of it.

At one point during the night, Sam was screaming at me and Britney said to me, “Sam treats me like that.” Then she picked up the house phone and said, “Look at the phone, it doesn’t work.” Sam then blamed the dead phone on Britney. Jackie spoke up and said to Sam, “You said you cut down the phone wire.”

Britney then said again at some point during the night, “When do I get to see my babies?” Sam answered, “Wednesday. “ Britney then said, “What do I have to do to see them?” Sam responded, “Take the pills I tell you to take.” Britney said, “I don’t like the pills and I don’t like the psychiatrist. Can’t I see another psychiatrist so I can see my babies?” Sam responded, “If I told you to take 10 pills a day, you should do what I tell you to see your babies.” Jackie then said, “Britney, your parents can help you find a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist needs to get to know you to give you the right medicine.” Sam then raised his voice and said, “Why don’t you get back with Kevin.”

Britney then said, “I’ll do anything to get them back.”

At some point during the evening, Sam said that Britney decided that he should be her manager.

Adnan has called me and told me he’s worried about Britney. He told me that Sam hides the phones and tells her he has lost them. He also hides her dog, London. She looks for him all over the house crying and then Sam brings the dog from the hiding place and acts like her savior.

While we were at Rite Aid, Britney went in and out of her British accent.

At 4 a.m., I was exhausted and wanted to leave. Sam blocked my car so I could not leave. I threatened to call Jamie on the phone.

Britney said, “I want my Daddy up here. I want to talk to my Daddy.” I reached Jamie on the phone and gave the phone to Britney. I heard her tell him that she wanted to see him. He said, “right now baby?” and she said, “no.” He said, “10:00 in the morning?” and she said, “no, noon.”

I spent the rest of the night at Britney’s house and for the first time in a very long time, when I lay down to sleep, I felt very agitated. I could not fall asleep at all. I felt like I had had coffee. Jackie, who had gone home earlier, later told me that she also could not sleep at all, and felt like she had had coffee.

Jamie came to pick me up the next morning. Jamie gave Britney a big hug and said to her, “baby, you’re OK?” Britney said, “I’m fine,” then burst into tears.

“To my knowledge, Britney never went to sleep that night and was very agitated for most of the night.

Sam and Chad, however, slept in the “smoking room,” a small room downstairs on the first floor of the house.

Later the next day, on January 29, Jackie showed me a text message she had received from Sam: “Thanks for telling Jamie all your bulls**t. He just hit me. Now you guys did your deed. Much accomplished. Good job.

I did not see Britney again until I arrived at her house on Wednesday night after Sam called me and told me to come to the house. When we arrived, Britney seemed subdued. The police arrived and took her to the Neuro Psychiatric Institute at UCLA (“NPI”). While at NPI, I l earned that Britney informed her doctor, Lee Sadja, MD, that she had also taken Aderol.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on January 31, 2008 at Los Angeles, California.

Mills Owes Lawyers $3 Million…But Sues Them Instead!



Heather Mills is a piece of work!

The still not-yet divorced wife of Paul McCartney has decided to sue her former attorneys, to whom she currently owes almost $3 million, for giving her "bad advice".

Mills owes almost 20 months of unpaid legal bills to her divorce lawyers Mischon de Reya, one of Britain's top and most well-known divorce firms.

Insolvency lawyers at Mishcons are expected to pursue legal action in the next few weeks, alleging Mills often refused to take their legal advice. That sounds more like the Heather we know and love!

Mills is also preparing to go to court for an intense, five day hearing, which will determine how much of Paul McCartney's fortune, over $1.2 billion, she'll receive.

Paul has already offered Mills $22 million for their 4 year marriage, but she's not content with that amount.

Mills is asking for about $75 million, ownership of several properties throughout Britain, and fighting against a confidentiality clause.

You know what that means… Someone wants a book deal!!!

Mimi Don't Do Ugly



The bomb that was Glitter has not deterred Mariah Carey from making more movies!

Snitches from the set of her latest film, Tennessee, report that Mimoo's character in the movie had do be uglified and, no surprise, Mimz wasn't too happy about it!

La Carey plays a Southern waitress who goes off on a journey with two brothers in search of their father. While she consented to cornrows, she reportedly passed on the fake nose and bushy eyebrows that had been conceived for the part.

What's so bad with playing the Ugly Betty, biyatch? You can't be glam all the time!

"When she saw the nose, she called her people and decided against it," says an on-set source. "She was not a diva about it, but she did seem very insecure about her appearance."

Sounds pretty diva, to us!

Time to Spice Down Our Lives

The Spice Girls rolled into the Toronto airport today, and Victoria, Emma, and Geri all had their littlest ones. The rest of the crew probably wasn't far behind — we know how these families like to stay close together while on tour. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and in the case of the Spice Girls reunion, the party is getting cut short. Last Friday the Girls announced that they were canceling their tour dates after February 26 so that they can get back to their families and other commitments. Sad for all the fans around the world who won't get the chance to see the group, but the Girls did make an apology video explaining why they had to end their run.

Jamie Feared Lutfi Might Get Wise



Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, submitted a declaration in support of the conservatorship, stating that they didn't tell Britney about the conservatorship because given her "emotional and psychological condition and her dealings with Mr. Lutfi, I believe Britney is incapable of keeping information from Mr. Lutfi. In particular, I believe if she knew I was planning to seek a conservatorship, she would tell Mr. Lufti about the planned conservatorship."



Jamie's Lawyer Denies "Hostile Takeover"



Attorney Jeryll Cohen, who reps Jamie, submitted a declaration to the conservatorship commissioner, claiming Brit's divorce lawyers got it all wrong when they assumed Jamie was a control freak.

In the declaration, Cohen says Ron Rale, a high-powered lawyer at Trope and Trope, "accused Mr. Spears of attempting 'nothing more than a hostile takeover of our client for improper purposes.'"

Cohen says Jamie was looking "for the least ugly way to save this young woman's life, bring her back to her babies, and keep her safe from predators."




Jamie to Brit: I Gotta Cook for the Super Bowl!

In a declaration signed by Jamie Spears, he claims on Sunday, February 3, "I was unable to visit the hospital during the day because I had to work: I am a cook, and I was catering a large Super Bowl party."

Jamie continues, "While I was working Britney called my cell phone at least four times. She called me about every 20 minutes." During one call, she said, "Daddy what are you doing?" Jamie responded, "I told her I was cooking. Britney said, 'What are you doing cooking, daddy? Why are you not here with me?' I told her, 'Baby, daddy's got to work.'"

Jamie continued, saying that Britney asked him to "hurry up and get here ... because you gotta get me out of here."

Jamie said Brit asked him to bring her some vanilla ice cream.

When Jamie got to the hospital, Brit was unreceptive. "I leaned over to kiss her. She turned her head away from me. I said to her, 'I love you.' She said, 'No you don't.'"

Britney became upset, claiming "someone was lying to her" about who was keeping her at UCLA. Jamie said, "No, I'm not keeping you here." A nurse came in to tell Brit that the hospital was keeping her there, not her dad.

According to the declaration, "Britney told me that she had fired her lawyers and that she had new lawyers."

Ledger's Death Ruled "Acute Intoxication"



The NYC medical examiner has finished the toxicology report following the death of Heath Ledger, and has just ruled that the actor's death was caused by "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine."

The NYPD found five medications in Ledger's apartment after his death, including anti-anxiety medications alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan). The sleeping medication zopiclone (Imovane) and the sedative temazepam (Restoril) -- which is used by people with "debilitating insomnia" -- were also found. Doxylamine is an antihistamine used in the short-term treatment of insomnia.

M.E. Calls Ledger Death "Accident"


The medical examiner has ruled that Heath Ledger's death is an "accident," resulting from the "abuse of prescription medications."


***********************************************************************

Heath's Dad on Cause -- "Drugs Proved Lethal"



Heath Ledger's father has issued a statement following the release of the Medical Examiner's report:



"We remain humble as parents and a family, among millions of people worldwide who may have suffered the tragic loss of a child. Few can understand the hollow, wrenching, and enduring agony parents silently suffer when a child predeceases them. Today's results put an end to speculation, but our son's beautiful spirit and enduring memory will forever remain in our hearts.

While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath's accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage."




Our family enjoyed an extremely happy two week visit with Heath just prior to the New Year. Those recent precious days will stay with us forever. We as a family feel privileged to have some of his amazing magic moments captured in film. To most of the world Heath was an actor of immeasurable talent and promise. To those who knew him personally, Heath was a consummate artist whose passions also included photography, music, chess and directing. We knew Heath as a loving father, as our devoted son, and as a loyal and generous brother and friend.

We treasure our beautiful granddaughter Matilda (to our dear Michelle) as well as an unbelievably wonderful network of close friends, forever, around the world. Families rarely experience the uplifting, warm and massive outpouring of grief and support as have we, from every corner of the planet. This has deeply and profoundly touched our hearts and lives. We are eternally grateful.

At this moment we respectfully request the worldwide media allow us time to grieve privately, without the intrusions associated with press and photography.

Feds Want to Know How Heath Got His Meds




The feds are trying to figure out how Heath Ledger got all the prescriptions for the dangerous combination of painkillers and sedatives that led to his accidental overdose.

TV Guide reports that the Drug Enforcement Administration has launched an investigation into how Ledger got prescriptions, if in fact they were prescriptions. According to officials, the DEA has requested copies of Ledger's autopsy as well as the original police report from the crime scene. The NYC medical examiner said this morning that he found the cause of death to be a lethal array of opiates and benzodiazepines; oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine.

The NYPD has not indicated whether the bottles of medication found at Ledger's apartment, which include some of the drugs found in his body, were specifically prescribed to Ledger.

TMZ spoke to three clinical psychiatrists today, all of whom said it would be "highly unusual" and "reckless" for one physician to prescribe this combination of meds, and suggested that more than one doctor would have to have been involved, or that Ledger could have obtained them by other means.

Britney Released!



Britney Spears has been released from the psychiatric ward at UCLA Medical Center, the L.A. Times is reporting.

According to the paper, Spears slipped quietly out -- compared to the massive fanfare that went on the night she went in.

A law enforcement source tells TMZ the hospital let her go "because she was no longer required to stay there after 11:30 AM." We have not confirmed this independently, however, if the hospital decides Britney is no longer a danger to herself or others, the hospital loses its basis to hold her against her will.

Britney Free -- How It Went Down




Britney SpearsTMZ has learned UCLA doctors determined Britney did not pose the legal danger to herself or to others, such that they could continue to hold her against her will.

As a result, she was released today and we're told she's already back home.

The conservatorship is still in place. Sources connected with the case say they anticipated that UCLA would probably release her before the 14-day extension because she became cooperative and relatively stable.

We're told the goal with Brit's mom and dad was to establish the conservatorship while she was hospitalized so she would return home to a controlled environment rather than the chaos that consumed her life.

EXCLUSIVE: Michelle Williams Tells Matilda: “Daddy Went Away”



Holding daughter Matilda, Michelle Williams arrived in Perth, Australia, Wednesday for Heath Ledger’s funeral.

Sources say it is her love for their 2-year-old daughter that is providing the strength as she mourns the late actor’s untimely death.

"Michelle was always really vulnerable, so this has shaken her quite a bit," a friend of Williams tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now. "She's mourning and trying to figure out what to do next.”

Matilda, though, “is too young” to know the heartbreaking reason why her father isn’t around anymore.

“Michelle and the family are showering Matilda with love right now to cushion it so she isn’t really aware,” a source close the family tells Us Weekly in the newest issue.

The source adds: “Michelle basically told Matilda, ‘Daddy went away.’ Matilda still doesn’t grasp it.”

Matilda, who was often seen around New York City on Ledger’s shoulders before his shocking January 22 death, “looks just like her father,” a friend close to Williams told Us.

Her mother agrees.

“All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day,” Williams, 27, said in a statement Friday. “His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still.”

EXCLUSIVE: Sam Lutfi Admits He Gave Britney Spears "a Handful of Pills"



Sam Lutfi, who is now on the receiving end of a restraining order imposed by Britney Spears' parents, was the one person by her side as she unraveled over the past six months.

In the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, Spears' de facto manager and confidant opens up about her bipolar disorder, how he medicated her, what happened the night she was hospitalized, and how her parents reacted.

"In the depressive episodes, it's all crying," Lutfi tells Us. "But in the manic episode, there's very little crying or sympathy or compassion. She becomes another person. She becomes somebody that just doesn't care about anybody or anything."

"The British accent is part of the mania," he adds. "She'll stick to the British accent because she becomes comfortable with it... But you know, when the pink wig comes on, it's getting bad."

Lutfi says that when Spears was involuntarily committed to treatment at UCLA Medical Center on January 31, her mom, Lynne Spears, arrived and tried to remove her daughter from his guidance. "Well, he is better family than you guys will ever be," Spears responded, according to Lutfi.

Lutfi tells Us that he gave Britney "a handful of pills" before her parents arrived. "I said these pills are working wonders, they are miracle pills," he recalls. Spears, Lutfi says, agreed that the meds were helping her sleep.

(In their restraining order against Lutfi filed yesterday, Spears' parents accuse him of drugging their daughter and being verbally abusive. Jamie, who has been named as his daughter's conservator, "is doing what he has to do to save Britney," a source tells Us.)

Spears is one of nearly six million American adults suffering from bipolar disorder, a mental illness consisting of extreme shifts in mood, thought, energy, and behavior patterns.

Lutfi, 33, tells Us only he, Spears, and her psychiatrist know what brought on her bipolar disorder "roughly five years ago."

When the ambulance arrived to take Spears, "she was very quiet," Lutfi tells Us.

"When I told her, she wrote me a note and put a big heart on it and it said, 'I love you, Sam. Are there people coming? Circle yes or no,'" Lutfi recalls. "Oh, my God, it was funny, just the cutest little thing. I circled yes and I gave it back to her, and she looked at me and she's like, 'Oh, lord, here we go again.'"

Attorneys are fighting on Spears' behalf to take conservatorship away from Jamie. Having Jamie in control of her estate and medical decisions is a worst-case scenario for Spears, sources tell Us.

Check out the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, for a complete portrait of Spears' life at UCLA and more from Lutfi.

Mother Allowed Britney Spears to Get Breast Implants as a Teen



The new issue of Rolling Stone offers some insight into what has lead to Britney Spears’ downward spiral.

Among the revelations:

• As a teen, the singer’s mother, Lynne, allowed her to get breast implants. But after going under the knife, “she regretted the implants, particularly because her chest was still growing,” a friend says. “When her natural breasts became larger, she had the implants removed.” But Spears kept the surgery a secret. Adds the friend, “When other girls did their boobs [they admitted it] and moved on, but Britney was brought up to lie about herself.”

• The singer never bonded with her father Jamie, mostly because of his heavy drinking. “It was upsetting for Britney Spears to be around her dad,” a pal tells Rolling Stone. “He came backstage one night, and he was wasted. She was devastated. Britney would tell friends that her father was emotionally abusive.”

• When Britney was just beginning her career in the 1990s, she was bribed to work around the clock. “If she didn’t want to come out of the trailer, the label would come to me saying, ‘Please talk to Britney, make sure she performs, and we’ll take you on a shopping spree,’” a close friend says. Adds her former driver: “We would wake Britney up at 6 a.m., and she’d work on a video for three or four days straight for 20 hours a day.”

• Throughout her career, she lobbied “ to appear sluttier,” the magazine claims, to appear more mature. (As a kid, her parents let her walk around the house naked, Rolling Stone reports.) “Every girl in America was wearing crop tops and booty shorts, and Britney felt like she was being held back,” says a friend. “She would joke about wanting to do videos topless.”

• Darrin Henson, who was the choreographer for several videos from Britney’s first album, says: “Britney would come offstage after performing in front of 15 to 16,000 people and start crying because she thought she was terrible. The girl doesn’t know who she is.”

• She reportedly began sleeping with Wade Robson around the time of the 2001 VMAs. “In February 2002, Timberlake discovered a ... note from Robson in Britney’s room. Britney and Timberlake were performing on Saturday Night Live that night, and they sat backstage miserable — he refused to accept her apologies,” an insider says. “The breakup was a terrible shock, particularly as it was followed by Britney’s parents divorce two months later.”

• Britney’s 2002 split from Justin Timberlake devastated her. “Justin had his head screwed on so straight... He became the great force in her life, but it started a pattern — she began to look for guys to help her get away from the people who could control her,” an insider says.

• Britney’s original concept for her 2004 video “Everytime”: “To die in an overflowing bathtub with pills and booze strewn around, and get reincarnated as a baby,” a source says. But Spears’ label objected, and she refused to shoot initally. “Finally, Britney agreed to do it, but first she said, ‘I need three Red Bulls, and call my doctor,’” the insider says. The video, which co-starred bad boy actor Stephen Dorff, ended up featuring her running away from the paparazzi before drowning in a bathtub.

• During a January 13 shopping trip to Betsey Johnson in Sherman Oaks, California, with paparazzo beau Adnan Ghalib, Britney threw a temper tantrum after her credit card was denied. She screamed, “F—k those b---ches! These idiots can’t do anything right!” in a “base animalistic shriek only heard at family member’s deathbed,” an insider says. She then threw “a big bottle of soda on the floor…on piles of discarded merchandise,” before changing into a new shirt, throwing her old one on the floor, and storming out.

• During the same Betsy Johnson spree, a fan asked for a picture for her little sister. Britney turned to Ghalib and screamed, “‘I don’t want her talking to me! Then she whips around and stares the girl deep in the eyes, her lips almost vibrating with anger. ‘I don’t know who you think I am, b-tch … but I’m not that person.’”

• Sam Lutfi — who was recently slapped with a restraining order — tells the magazine he may pen a book based on his troubled days with the singer. “You know, this is so much more than a magazine article — we’ve been doing dictation, she’s been telling me her story, and I’ve been writing it all down. It would make a great book!” Lutfi says.



Here is an excerpt from the Rolling Stone coverstory The Tragedy of Britney Spears:

t;line-height:100%">A pop star at the mall is an eternal cause for happiness, especially on a Sunday afternoon in the Valley. One moment, shoppers in the Westfield Topanga mall are living in the real world, monotonously selecting a new shade of eye shadow or rubbing perfume on wrists, but upon the rapture of Britney Spears, they are giggling, laughing, orgasmic, already sharing their secret on cell phones. "Her legs are actually really skinny," an adolescent whispers into her Sidekick, as Britney beelines for the Betsey Johnson boutique, pseudo-punk designer of evening dresses and splashy heels worn to suburban high school proms. In person, Britney is shockingly beautiful — clear skin, ruby lips, a perfectly proportioned twenty-six-year-old porcelain doll with a nasty weave. She cuts through the crowd swiftly, the way she used to when 20,000 adoring fans mobbed her outside a concert, with her paparazzi boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, trailing behind. Only a few kids are in the store, a young girl with her brother and two blondes checking out fake-gold charm bracelets. Britney rifles the racks as the Cure's "Pictures of You" blasts into the airless pink boutique, grabbing a pink lace dress, a few tight black numbers and a frilly red crop top, the kind of shirt that Britney used to wear all the time at seventeen but isn't really appropriate for anyone over that age. Then she ducks into the dressing room with Ghalib. He emerges with her black Am Ex. The card won't go through, but they keep trying it. "Please," begs Ghalib, "get this done quickly." One of the girls runs to Britney's dressing room, explaining the situation through a pink gauze curtain. A wail emerges from the cubby — guttural, vile, the kind of base animalistic shriek only heard at a family member's deathbed. "#### these bitches," screams Britney, each word ringing out between sobs. "These idiots can't do anything right!" Ghalib dashes over to console her, but she's already spitting, growling, throwing a big bottle of soda on the floor so that it begins to spill underneath the curtain, and then she's got a box of tissues and is throwing them on top of the wet floor along with piles of discarded merchandise. A new card finally goes through, but by then Britney is out the door, leaving her shirt on the ground and replacing it with the red top. "#### you, #### people, ####, ####, ####," she keeps screaming, her face splotchy and red as she crosses the interminable mall floor, the crowd behind her growing larger and larger. "Leave us alone!" yells Ghalib. The siblings run after Britney to get a video to put up on YouTube, and some of the shopgirls run after her to hand off the merchandise she left behind, and there's an entire bridal party wearing yellow T-shirts who have pulled out camera phones too. A crush of managers in black shirts and gold name tags try to keep the peace, but the crowd running after Britney gets larger, and now the shopgirls have ­started to catch up to her, one of them slipping spectacularly in her platform shoes, grazing her elbow. She pulls herself up, mustering the strength to tap Britney's shoulder. "Um, I'm from the South too," she mumbles, "and I was wondering if I could get a picture with you for my little sister." Britney turns to Ghalib and grabs his arm. "I don't want her talking to me!" she screams. She whirls around and stares the girl deep in the eyes, her lips almost vibrating with anger. "I don't know who you think I am, bitch," she snarls, "but I'm not that person."

Looking SO Much Better!




Accompanied by a nurse from her rehab facility, as well as her father Mitch, Amy Winehouse took a break from the Capio Nightingale Hospital in London on Wednesday.

The recovering addict paid a visit to husband Blake at Pentonville prison, where he's been incarcerated since November.

Wino appears to be healthier than she was a few weeks ago, which is a good sign that rehab is working…which means she needs to stay in rehab!

Janet Gets Naked (But Keeps Her Clothes On)



Janet Jackson is on the cover of the new Parade magazine, and in a candid chat she talks about her marriages, men cheating on her, her faith and the out of wedlock child her father had, amongst other things.

Here are some highlights from the interview!

Janet on love
“I was always reaching out for love. I kept searching for it, seeking it. Infatuation, lust—that stuff only lasts so long. You can get that from anybody. But true love is supposed to be forever. Jackson says she has found that love with record producer and hip-hop artist Jermaine Dupri, 35. They have known each other for six years now and may already be married, although that is a question Janet will not address beyond admitting that they are a couple and she is crazy about him. “This time, I wasn’t going to be the first to reach out,” she says. “It was Jermaine who touched me first. Love came to me. He’s such a wonderful, sweet, very loving guy that I said to myself, ‘I’m not going to fall head over heels for this person.’ ”

On the Janet’s father’s out-of-wedlock child and how it has affected her
Janet’s father had an out-of-wedlock child with a fan of the Jackson 5. Five years later, he had another affair with an employee of his sons’ record label, Motown. His infidelities nearly ended his marriage and deeply affected Janet. “Besides my mother’s beauty and her smarts, what I always wanted was her strength,” says Janet, who is very close with her mother, Katherine, 77. “It’s a very cold world, and to have gone through what she has had to experience, from having polio as a child to those things with my brother Michael, and then for my father to have had another child!” Janet says angrily. “I’ve been cheated on a lot. I know what that feels like and how that hurts the heart. But, I mean, to give us a half-sister. I can’t even fathom what that’s like for Mother. For her to stay with my father all these years and never abandon her kids, that’s true love.”

On her two previous marriages

Janet was married twice and kept both marriages a secret until they ended. “I wanted to keep something for myself and not have it be public,” Janet says. “But after two divorces, I thought I was jinxed. Maybe marriage isn’t for me? Maybe it’s my fault it never works. I was always faithful. I always tried to give of myself. I was very loyal. But maybe I’m the problem. I’m to blame.” She continues, “It was awful, and I was so tired of being hurt. When it was over, I put shields up to protect myself from being hurt again. I didn’t want to go there anymore.”

On Her Faith
“Jehovah’s Witnesses was the religion we were raised under. I’d get up on Sunday mornings, go to the Kingdom Hall, go again on Thursday night and go to book study on Tuesdays, because that was my mother’s routine. I believe in God. I feel that spiritual connection. But, most of the time, I didn’t pay attention in the Kingdom Hall. I was asleep. I know that’s awful. I was so tired, so busy, so knocked out, I’d fall asleep.”

On Growing Up in a 'Religious World'
“Being a Jehovah’s Witness, you grow up in a very religious world. But as a kid I loved Prince and The Time, one of my favorite groups, and would listen to them all the time even though you’re not supposed to do that. When I was 16, I was promoting my first album and I went with Mother to see The Time’s concert with Prince. I did not want to sit next to Mother because I knew they were dirty. I was trying to be cool and calm, but oh my God, I was sweating bullets! How am I going to sit at this show and watch Vanity Six and Prince and The Time and sit next to Mother? She’s going to think, ‘Good Lord, what is my baby into? She really needs more of God in her life! Where did I go wrong?’ I could just hear Mother blaming herself for everything! Luckily, I got someone else to swap seats with me so I was able to enjoy the show and have the same great time I would’ve had if I were there without Mother."

Kylie Definitely Over Her Ex



Kylie Minogue turned heads in Germany on Wednesday! The singer looked stunning at the 43rd Goldene Kamera Awards in Berlin.

Despite what you may have read, Miz Mionogue is NOT reuniting romantically with her former flame.

Kylie is adamantly denying reports that she is back with her French actor ex-boyfriend, Olivier Martinez, even though they were pictured together in Paris last week.

Minogue and Martinez broke up last February, reportedly due to his infidelity.

Last Sunday, the pair were pictured at Olivier's Paris apartment. They were then seen walking back to her hotel, and the next day were seen walking Olivier's dog together.

In response to being photographed last week, Kylie stated, "I had dinner with my ex-boyfriend and next thing I know there's a debate about whether we're having a family. We didn't even talk about that. As I've maintained, we're friends."

Good. Kylie's not a dumb dumb.

She knows better than to get back with that cheat!

“I’ve been a fan of the campaign since the early days, and I remembered when RuPaul and Mary J. Blige did it,” Fergie says. “They pick controversial people who aren’t afraid to speak their mind, and that’s definitely me. I’m very proud to be a part of it.”

Fergie, 32, wants to educate her fan base, which largely consists of teens and young adults.

“[MAC is] going toward one demographic, and I think I can be very helpful with that,” Fergie added. “I know certain people who are very proud of having unprotected sex and the fact that they haven’t caught anything yet.”

Shiloh’s Scare



Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, the 20-month-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, needs extra protection!

According to the latest issue of Life & Style, new threats are being made against the golden child and Brad & Angie are beefing up security after a chilling note targeting their daughter was discovered at one of their homes in early January.

Here’s what the insider had to say:

On the scary note: “Someone got to their doorstep and left a threat against Shiloh. The person included a photo of Shiloh and a note that read, ‘We got this close already.’”

On Brad & Angie’s reaction: “They’re freaked out. Shiloh has somebody protecting her 24-7, and Brad and Angie are trying to avoid taking her out of the house.” (Shiloh hasn’t been photographed in public since Jan. 4)

The latest threat came less than two months after shots were fired outside Brad and Angie’s Los Feliz house on Nov. 27.

Christina Aguilera Shows Off Post-Pregnancy Body



Christina Aguilera flaunts her svelte post-pregnancy bod at at signing of her new DVD, Back to Basics - Live and Down Under at Best Buy in West Hollywood on Tuesday.

This is Christina’s her first appearance since the birth of her son, Max Bratman, in mid-January.

In an interview earlier in the day, Christina told Ryan Seacrest that her experience being pregnant will play a role on her next album.

She said, “I’m very excited! I’m so inspired. This whole incredible thing that’s taken place in my life, between the pregnancy and the birth… I’ve got so much in me to write about. This next record, I want to have a lot of fun with it. I’ve been brainstorming for the last nine months of my pregnancy. This next album will have a whole new me. A different me.”

Christina also talked a little about celebrating Max’s bris at 8-days old: “He did have a bris! It was really interesting because I’m not Jewish, but my husband is. I never really knew a lot of Jewish people growing up, I never knew about a bris. It’s all a learning process. Of course, we’re such a non-conventional couple that we had penis balloons everywhere.”

Penelope Cruz Is Into Win-Happy Javier and You

Penelope Cruz (though she and Monica are looking more and more like twins these days) flaunted her sexiness and sultry eyes for the cover of You Magazine. Her man Javier has been raking in the awards this season for his work in No Country For Old Men, but Penelope has stayed off his arm on the red carpet. Boo. I guess these two prefer to frolic on the beach together rather than slap on the formal wear and pose for cameras. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that she'll come out for the Oscars (and that the show happens at all), because they way Javier's been winning — not to jinx it or anything — Penelope may be in line for a thank you shout out from the podium.

Bruce & Ashton Are Both Out of Their 20s (Just by Slightly Different Amounts)

Ashton Kutcher may be turning 30 tomorrow, but he's never too old to beat up on his wife's ex-husband Bruce Willis. Of course, it's just play fighting and the two men are really seriously good friends. Food for thought though, who would even win in a fight? Even being 22 years Ashton's senior, Bruce is pretty burly. The whole family — Demi, Ashton, Bruce, the girls — all went out for a little pre-birthday lunch in LA this week showing off just how buddy-buddy dad and step-dad are. While I'm especially excited to see Ashton back on the big screen with Cameron in What Happens In Vegas, his family man side is about as endearing as it gets.

Poppa Spears To The Rescue?




Jamie Spears has a plan to help his daughter now that she's been released from the psych ward.

Daddy's moving in!

That's right, sources close to the Spears family reveal exclusively to Access Hollwyood that Jamie is planning to live with Brit Brit.

He will monitor her along with another person that will act as a guardian/sobriety coach, the source revealed. “[They will] try to keep her calm,” added the insider.

Jamie and a lawyer have been named co-conservators of Britney with the ability to make decisions for her.

We have a feeling, though, the former pop star is going to try and have that changed ASAP!

The Family Speaks



Britney's parents are not happy about her release from the hospital on Wednesday.

They claim that the UCLA Medical Center let Spears go, even though the psychiatrist treating her wanted the fallen pop star to remain hospitalized.

Jamie & Lynne released the following statement late Wednesday evening.

"As parents of an adult child in the throws of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted."

We agree!

Hopefully Brit's parents can make sure she gets the help she needs.

Britney's Dad Enters By Force!



The drama!

After Brit Brit and her paparazzo lover, Adnan Ghalib, left the offices of Spears' lawyer, they made their way back to the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Poppa Jamie Spears showed up too. And so did the police!

The pair were eventually reunited, but not until after a very tense evening.

OK! magazine recounts the timeline of events.

- Around 5:20 pm PT, Britney and Adnan visit the office of Spears' new attorny, Adam Streisand, hired to contest the conservatorship the court instated over the former pop star.

- Around 7:00pm PT, Britney managed to sneak out of Streisand's office building and return to the Beverly Hills Hotel! According to a source, a paparazzo from Adnan's photo agency, FinalPixx, snuck them out of the building by hiding Adnan and Brit under a black blanket in the back of his car.

- Back at the Beverly Hills Hotel, several of the police who were there earlier remain on the grounds as do a number of bodyguards who are keeping watch in the hotel's parking garage.

- Shortly before 9:00pm PT, Brit's father Jamie Spears arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel. According to eyewitnesses, Jamie talks to the hotel's concierge and waits in the lobby. "He looks very tired," says one witness. "It looks like he just wants someone to help him out."

- A few minutes later, Jamie was approached by the concierge and a pair of men who may have been plainclothes police officers or hotel security officials, who led him to a private conference room, where Brit's father showed them what appear to be legal documents. Sources says Jamie is likely asking for the hotel's cooperation in getting his daughter back to her home.

- Around 9:20pm PT, more police arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel and begin gathering in the lobby, outside in the valet parking area and upstairs on the second floor of the hotel, where Britney and Adnan were holed up.

- At 9:30pm PT, Jamie Spears entered Britney's room with what is believed to be legal documents in his hand. Meanwhile, down in the hotel's private parking garage, a number of hotel guards are kept watch on Brit's Mercedes.

Paris Hits Harvard

Paris Hilton went to college yesterday, but obviously not to receive an education. Instead she picked up her trophy for being named Harvard Lampoon's Woman of the Year. Clearly Harvard doesn't have the same high standards for its award recipients as it does for its students. Paris was as eloquent as ever when she accepted the cup, saying, "Harvard is hot! Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine standing here, standing on the steps of the Harvard Lampoon. It's really exciting and I've had such a great time." It's always refreshing to hear Paris making fun of herself, but hopefully the masterminds at Harvard don't have the heiress in mind for a graduation speaker.

Kate Hudson Preggers Rumors About to Go into Overdrive



While it may seem like we just sit around looking for celebrities dressed in XL clothing (or displaying a protruding belly), we're also busy standing at the supermarket checkout line reading the National Enquirer.

Based solely on this not very in-depth research, it seems that Kate Hudson may be pregnant—that or she's somehow involved in an Area 51 conspiracy to conceal UFOs.

(Attempts to reach her publicist for comment were unsuccessful.)

Recent photos of Kate as she makes the rounds to promote her movie Fool's Gold have led the magazine to suggest she could be preggers.

However, don't look to the movie's poster for any clues. Kate tells E!'s Daily 10 that those aren't her breasts on display, "they're definitely enhanced."

In addition, the weekly tab claims she and Owen Wilson are back together and that he recently spent the night at Kate's Pacific Palisades home, "but they're not ready to take their relationship public."

None of the speculation has us shopping for baby shower gifts yet, but we we are back to studying her waistline and wondering...just wondering.

Rumoro Uno: Is Jared Padalecki Leaving Supernatural?



Fear not, Supernatural fans. Tudo bem! Tudo joya!

(For you speakers of English, I think that means "Everything is okay! Everything is happy!" Though it could also mean "All bottom! All jewel!" so be careful using it.)

This posting is especially for all you Brazilian fans of Supernatural (and fans who know Brazilian fans) who have been emailing WWK HQ, frantic about a Brazilian blog report that had some jaw-droppingly tragic "news" regarding the fate of Supernatural and the desires of one Mr. Jared Padalecki.

Lucky for you, I just so happen to have spent the past year or so trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese through the illustrious self-taught method of "Vino e Telenovela," so I am more than happy to use my newfound skills to translate this for you and set this whole rumor straight.

The title of the article is "Exclusive! Supernatural Has the Leg in a Cave!"

Um...On second thought, I'm going to stop Portuguessing and ask someone a little more qualified to wax Brazilian. So, here's what a fluent Brazilian native says of the article: "It says that Supernatural is being canceled. There will be no fourth season, because Jared Padelecki is tired of the life of an actor. He says he wants to spend more time with his family and rest."

Rest? Tired? Wha? Jared is the freaking Energizer Coelho! Is there any chance in Hades this could possibly be true?

The verdict: absolutely not. According to Jared's reps, the CW reps and sources close to the show, this report is 100 percent false. (É falso!) Jared's reps insist he never said anything about wanting to leave the show, and further, according to the CW rep, "We have not decided the fate of any of our series yet." (Not surprising, given the strike and the fact that those decisions normally don't come till May.)

According to his rep, Jared just did a bunch of international press to promote the show, so it's possible something got muddled in translation, leading to all the confusion. Suffice it to say, your boy Jared is going to stick with Supernatural for the foreseeable future, so there is no need to worry.

In the meantime, please make sure to check out Supernatural this Thursday on the CW. It's a brand-new episode, and here's an exclusive tease on the ep from boss Eric Kripke for you fans:

"Episode 10 is about a killer who is able to kill people in their dreams. Sam and Dean manage to find a way to go into dreams to face him, and that’s where the battleground is. And in that episode, we learn the backstory of the character Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) and how he got into hunting, in the first place. He’s always been such a mysterious character that it was a big, fun reveal to finally learn something about his past. We also have a big change for Dean's character arc in that episode. Up until this season he’s been living with this death wish, where he doesn’t care that he is dying, and he just wants to squeeze as much out of life as possible. But he ends the episode in a very different place. That’s a very momentous thing for us, because he really makes a 180-degree turn in his character."

Lipstick Jungle vs. Cashmere Mafia: Who Wins?



You know that scene in The Parent Trap where Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills realize they were separated at birth and their dreams of one big happy family were squashed because their parents just couldn’t get along?

Well, you might feel something similar watching this Thursday’s premiere of Lipstick Jungle on NBC, which at first glance seems a genetic carbon copy of that other Cashmere show.

See, the story has been told since last spring that Candace Bushnell (author of Sex and the City) and Darren Star (producer of Sex and the City) were working together on a TV version of her book Lipstick Jungle (Page Six even said they were living together at the time) but couldn’t see eye to eye. Hence, mommy and daddy separated and created two new series with very similar premises: Star’s Cashmere Mafia by ABC (which premiered last month) and Bushnell’s Lipstick Jungle by NBC (which premieres Thursday).

When you see Lipstick’s premiere ep, you may want to start singing, “Let’s get together, what do you say?” ‘Cause while Lipstick is, in my opinion, the better show, combining elements from the two series would make one fantastic series.

So, just because I'm so very helpful, I did a little head-to-head matchup between the shows. Read on to find out which show comes out ahead on such points as best man-candy or best working-mom character. It will also help you envision what might have been the ultimate post-SATC series: Cashmere Lipstick Mafia Jungle, from Candace Bushnell and Darren Star. Read on, and then post your vision for CLMJ in Comments.
Lipstick Jungle

The Category: The Plot
The Winner: Lipstick Jungle

LJ’s three high-powered women living in New York City somehow seem to click better than Cashmere’s four. The characters seem a bit more real, the storylines a bit more entertaining and, though it takes a few episodes to get into, Lipstick is ultimately the more addictive show because you actually care what happens to these women.
Kim Raver in Lipstick Jungle

The Category: The Married Lady Who's Looking Elsewhere
The Winner: Nico (Kim Raver) from Lipstick Jungle

Sure, we can sympathize with Miranda Otto’s heartbroken character, Juliet, on Cashmere, since her bored husband had an extramarital affair and prompted her wandering eye, but Juliet is just too obnoxiously frigid and forced, whereas Kim Raver’s Nico does some very bad things (she’s the one with the wandering eye) and yet somehow manages to draw us in and make us like her. Besides, it's Kim Raver. Even Jack Bauer digs her.
Bonnie Sommerville in Cashmere Mafia

The Category: The Single, Confused Chick Looking for Love
The Winner: Caitlin (Bonnie Somerville) of Cashmere Mafia


We'll always love Lindsay Price, because she was Mrs. Steve Sanders on 90210, but her LJ character, Victory, is kind of annoying. And maybe we're still a little jealous of Bonnie Somerville 'cause she dated Zach Braff, but her flighty portrayal of Caitlin is cute. Plus, she's into gals and guys! Sorta hot. [Ed. note: Very hot.]
Frances O'Connor

The Category: The Struggling, Juggling Mom
The Winner: Zoe (Frances O’Connor) from Cashmere Mafia

We children of the '70s can’t help but love Brooke Shields, but truth be told, her Lipstick character, Wendy, is waffly, wavering and the weakest link of the series, while Frances O’Connor’s similar character over on Cashmere is sincere and endearing.
Lucy Liu, Cashmere Mafia

The Category: The Powerful Exec Who Can't Find a Man
The Winner: Mia From Cashmere Mafia

This character doesn't really exist on Lipstick, so we really didn't have any other choice than to let Mia win by default. But really, it's because Lucy Liu is a former Charlie's Angel, and we don't feel like getting our asses kicked today.
Robert Buckley in Lipstick jungle

The Category: The Man-Candy (Crucial to Any Chick Show!)
The Winner: Kirby Atwood (Robert Buckley) from Lipstick Jungle


His six-pack’s debut in the second episode alone is worth tuning in for. And though his storyline with Kim Raver’s very much married Nico will make you blush, it’s the most intriguing and ultimately surprising of any of the storylines. And did I mention the abs?

Shame! Shame! Shame!



Life & Style magazine put little Shiloh Jolie Pitt on the cover of their magazine this week.

The sensational and untrue story claims that her superstar parents have increased security after discovering a chilling note threatening her safety left outside one of their homes.

But it's all lies, Poppa Pitt says!

"This is absolutely not true and reckless and dangerous to put these ideas out into the world," says Brad.

Agreed!

Nice to know the story is complete bullshiz, though.

Mum's The Word



The court spokesperson had no official comment on the emergency hearing requested by Britney's father on Thursday.

Though Jamie wasn't at court, his lawyers were.

"Everything about this matter is sealed," says the court rep.

However, we do know that Jamie Spears will stay on as conservator.

We think it's good that the Spears family is on the offensive.

They need to be in order to ensure that Brit Brit gets better!

Wino To Perform Via Telecast At The Grammys!



It's going to be a late night for Amy Winehouse on Sunday.

Despite being denied a visa by the U.S. embassy in London, the multiple Grammy nominee will be performing at music's biggest night!

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Wino will appear via satellite.

The Grammys are broadcast live starting at 8:00 P.M. Eastern, so even if Amy opens the show or is one of the first performers, she won't go on earlier than 1:00 A.M. Monday morning, London time.

Girl needs her rest. She's in rehab!

Wino will also accept her awards via satellite, if she wins.

That means Amy won't go to bed till well after 4:00 A.M., when the album of the year winner is announced.

We do hope she wins, though. She deserves it!

Keeping It LoPro



Trying to keep a low profile, Eva Mendes was spotted leaving a friend's house in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The actress, accompanied by boyfriend George Gargurevich, left rehab on Wednesday.

However, Eva's publicist has said that she came to LA to take care of "personal business" and has every intention of going back to rehab to finish her treatment.

We hope she does!

Britney Can't Hire New Lawyer!!!



Brit Brit met up with lawyer Adam Streisand yesterday, presumably to try and fight the conservatorship established by the court which gives her dad and an independent attorney control of her life.

Unfortunately, Spears can't legally hire the new lawyer, the courts have decided.

A publicist for Streisand has just give PerezHilton.com the following statement, explaining what has happened:

"At the request of Britney Spears, Adam Streisand, a Partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP, met with her yesterday to discuss her legal rights in connection with the conservatorship over her person and estate. Following that meeting, Mr. Streisand learned that the court had issued orders that prevent Ms. Spears from retaining counsel of her own choosing, and on that basis, Mr. Streisand has decided he will not represent her at this time."

Winehouse's Visa Rejected!



Even though she wanted to come to America for the Grammy Awards this weekend - she's nominated in six categories - Amy Winehouse will be forced to stay in rehab after being turned down by the U.S. Embassy in London.

And that's a good thing!

Wino's health is the priority right now, not collection awards.

The singer's publicist has released the following statement after the visa rejection:

"Amy Winehouse will not be performing at this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony.

The singer has been invited to appear at the event on Sunday (February 10) after receiving an amazing 6 nominations for the prestigious awards.

Unfortunately, her application for a visa to enter the United States of America has been rejected at this time by the American Embassy in London.

Amy has been progressing well since entering a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago and although disappointed with the decision has accepted the ruling and will be concentrating on her recovery.

Amy has been treated well and fairly by the Embassy staff and thanks everyone for their support in trying to make this happen.

There will of course be other opportunities and she very much looks forward to visiting America in the near future."

Get well, Amy!

He's Not A Doctor!!!!!!!!



Osama Lutfi has hired a publicist so that people can find out the truth about him. Uh huh.

His new mouthpiece is a fella named Michael Sands, who up until this week - when he was fired - was the spokesperson for Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Well, Sands held a press conference on behalf of Lutfi Thursday morning and he talked a lot of shit.

However, one of the most alarming things he said was the following:

"Sam has been providing prescription medication, cocktails is what its called for Britney's medical issues. Sometimes the medication really doesn't work and you have to change it and you see outrageous behavior displayed in public."

He should not have been giving her ANY cocktails, alcoholic or medicinal.

Britney Spears needs to be under the constant supervision of DOCTORS and trained medical professionals!

Thankfully, her parents have a restraining order against Lutfi.

Stay away, Osama!
