Britney Spears recently put up for sale at 7.9 million is in a gated community, but many precautions are being taken to keep out the looky-loos. At a recent open house strictly for real estate agents, every agent had to produce a photo I.D., AND sign a confidentiality agreement! Not only were cameras banned, but cell phones too. We were surprised to learn the place is being sold furnished and the decor couldn't look LESS like it belongs to a young pop star. It looks more like a grandma's house. Would YOU buy the furniture?
Britney Spears couldn't resist attending Robin Thicke's performance at the House of Blues Thursday night even though the experience was bittersweet. Brit has long harbored a crush on Robin - back in 2004 she reportedly was seen with him a few times, looking affectionate. (This was before she met Kevin Federline.) No romance developed but she admitted she was very fond of him and would like to have gotten to know him better. Robin's happily married now, so Britney's just another fan with a backstage pass.

Farrah Fawcett opened QUITE a can of worms when she complained to UCLA hospital that medical information about her cancer treatment had been leaked to The National Enquirer. An internal investigation turned up administrative specialist LaWanda Jackson as the perp, and she's facing criminal charges for viewing a thousand patients' personal records without a legitimate reason. But as the hospital investigated further, LaWanda turned out to be the tip of the iceberg. Actually, closer to 127 nosey employees had peeked at celebrities' records - including Britney Spears'. The hospital is in a dither - they can't fire EVERYONE! Layoffs and penalties are in the works.

Britney Spears is perfectly happy with the fact that Kevin has full custody of their kids. She's in the process of getting control of her medication and concentrating on getting her own life together. She has plenty to worry about and it's nice to know the kids are safe and happy with their dad. Besides, Britney is paying for BOTH hers and Kevin's lawyers, so fighting this doesn't make much sense. Britney can visit the boys twice a week and have an overnight. Six months from now she'll be reevaluated and probably get half custody. On July 31, Britney's father Jamie's conservatorship and control over her could be over. Is Britney delighted, or has she started to appreciate his efforts?
Madonna has reached out to Britney Spears and this weekend Britney is set to film video footage that will appear on the big screens on Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" tour. Madonna also wants Britney to perform in person for several of her concert dates. The UK's Sun newspaper says Madonna want to give Britney some career guidance and get her back on track. That also includes, we presume, plenty of Kabbalah brainwashing. Still, it IS a major opportunity for Britney. (Interesting how they've both changed since this photo was taken. Madonna looks better - Britney doesn't.)

This is how Britney Spears looked arriving at the airport from Louisiana: stained suede boots and a raucous print synthetic looking saggy dress. And that hair. She looks positively middle aged.

This is how Jennifer Aniston looks at the airport- simply dressed, but appearing years younger than Britney, although she is 13 years older. And she didn't need a stylist to dress her. Somebody had better buy Britney some fashion magazines. (Note Jen's Smartwater accessory)

Britney Spears have six new men in her life and not one of them is a photographer or a boyfriend. In case you hadn't noticed, she is now shadowed by armed guards trained by the Israeli military. She's shelling out $25,000 a week for the hired muscle and now her every move is watched by at least two guards, all the time. Her private security forces check out all restaurants, hair salons, even coffee shops - before she enters. (For WHAT, we can't imagine.) Britney can boast that she has the best security in Hollywood - presumably they protect her from everything, including herself.

Michael Jackson was the surprise guest (he didn't sing) at the huge birthday party of Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigiers at the Peterson Auto Museum last night. Britney Spears was also there also in another too-tight outfit. It was a fashiony crowd and Michael looked sadly dated in his satin embroidered shirt and shiny pants. Christian Audigiers has a major celebrity following (that means he gives them loads of free clothes.) Remember - he used to be the designer for Von Dutch. A few years ago, it was revealed that the original Von Dutch - a rockabilly hot rod customizer from the 50's - when he was alive, was an alleged racist and nazi sympathizer! Christian bolted from that company name and started his own Ed Hardy line, based on a tattoo artist with no known negative attributes.
(Do you think this woodcarving resembles Barbra?)
Back in the early 90's, When Barbra Streisand couldn't sell her compound in Malibu after five years of trying, she donated the 12 million dollar Ramirez Canyon property to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Barbra purchased the original house and land in 1974 - through the years she added more land until there was a total of four houses and over 22 acres. When she gave it to the city she got a massive tax write-off and never looked back. The Conservancy was grateful, but needed a LOT of money to maintain the houses and lush grounds that include a stream and several bridges. At first the Conservancy rented out the place for weddings and conducted private tours to pay the upkeep. But neighbors (Britney Spears is two houses away) got riled up and banned tours or wedding parties on their private gated street. Now the four once exquisite houses are falling into ruin - rats, water damage, and neglect. Barbra's pricey leather outdoor furniture is in tatters. The hand carved wood is warping. The grand piano that Paul Simon gave her is out of tune. Without revenue, the conservancy is just letting the houses fall apart and they don't know WHAT will be done with the property. It's a sad, wasteful story.

Miley IS the New Britney in more ways than one. First, the ever-present wad of chewing gum in her mouth! Typical teenage stuff, but not photogenic. Second, she's got a coffee habit like Britney. Third, and most important, because she's super-popular, the paparazzi have decided she's their new number one target. The crowd of photogs around Miley grows bigger every day.
Okay, so Britney upped the ratings on "How I Met Your Mother" and she seemed to do a decent job of acting. BUT we're hearing that the whole episode was aggravating for everyone on the set. An insider on the show revealed that Britney's cameo caused havoc. The usually peaceful set was invaded by bodyguards stationed everywhere, detaining all who entered. Everyone on the set, -crew, extras etc - even the actors- were expected to wear WRISTBANDS for access to their own show! (It didn't set well with the show's stars.) Photographers were perched on roofs, in the parking structure, and surrounded the set. Helicopters buzzed overhead. Most of the actors on the show never even met Britney because she was always surrounded by beefy security. They heaved a sigh of relief when she left. Anyone seeking to hire Britney has to factor in this stressful chaos and upheaval that follows wherever she goes. Is it worth it?
There's a tug of war going on at Britney Spears' house between her and her father Jamie. Dad wants Britney to move back to Louisiana and spend time with her family. He figures that not being around nightclubs, temptations, and paparazzi would be the best thing for her. Britney's not thrilled by the idea - she imagines herself bored stiff in her hometown and she's scrambling to find more work (like her TV cameo on "How I Met Your Mother") or recording, to keep her WAY too busy to leave LA.

Okay, We have to admit we find Britney Spears shopping at discount stores on her new allowance, amusing. First, the Broadway shoe warehouse, now she's moved on to Forever 21 and Claire's discount accessories in the Beverly Center. Brit checked out the two for the price of one pairs of earrings, but settled on sunglasses and a belly button ring. (Don't those cheap ones cause infections?) Ironically, she seems to be carrying an expensive handbag - from happier times no doubt. We predict her next stop will be Santee Alley downtown.
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
This photo of Britney Spears is significant because she's shopping at the Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse on Sunset, conveniently located right across from In-N-Out Burger. She's scouring the place for a pair of boots. Apparently she's sticking to that $1500 week allowance her father has her on because this is a discount store. Not many celebrities are in the habit of shopping there, so she caused a lot of excitement. Actually, we'd rather see Britney in a better quality pair of boots, but she's obviously more comfortable shopping here than at Barneys.

The judge is keeping her little boys Jayden and Preston are out of reach for now, but Britney Spears is making an effort to fill the void they left. She's always had a fondness for parakeets (although keeping them alive is a challenge) so, according to an insider, she sent an assistant to Petco in West Hollywood to buy two baby blue parakeets. She named them Preston and Jayden, and Brit supposedly DOTES on them. Her pal explained "She calls out their names and sings to her little birds, but it's painfully clear that she misses her sons."
When Britney Spears' father Jamie finally took a close look at her finances he was appalled first by a $225,000 American Express bill for one month! Brit's parents are trying to track down how Britney spent 22 million dollars since she split with Kevin. They're not sure exactly when Sam Lutfi declared himself her manager and took control of her finances, but the wild spending has been going on for awhile. According to the Enquirer, Jamie was outraged by the bills for rental cars- sometimes three at a time, besides the $250,000 Mercedes sports car Britney bought. Brit paid 7.2 million for a house with all it's furnishings, and then totally redecorated. She spent $200,000 on chandeliers alone, much more on jewelry, cameras, and flat screen TV's - just SOME of the things Jamie listed as missing from Britney's house. Brit's business manager says Lutfi sent outrageous invoices and contracts but he refused to give him any money. Sam Lutfi has a lot of explaining to do.
Hollywood is speculating about why Eva Mendes checked herself into Cirque Lodge in Utah for substance abuse problems. Insiders say "Eva has always been cool, never overindulged in public" and the one thing she struggled with was her weight. Kirsten Dunst checked into the same rehab looking thin as a toothpick. Just about every female celebrity arrested from Paris to Nicole, Lindsay, along with Britney Spears, has had prescription Adderall (which is prescribed for ADHD) in her purse. In Hollywood this drug is not used for ADHD, it's a form of Dexedrene and it keeps one awake while killing the appetite. (College students love it.) Pills are indiscriminately popped like aspirin day and night. Recently we've learned that they are very addictive and can cause all kinds of craziness. Just maybe, this explains why so many Hollywood women are having behavior problems

Things are moving fast for Britney. She had a screaming British fit in the hospital when she learned that her father Jamie has been named the conservator of her estate. Wait until she finds out that a restraining order will be keeping her constant companion Osama Lufti OUT of her life! And just where does that leave Adnan Ghalib? We don't know how her father feels about him, but it doesn't look promising. Presumably he will be forced to rejoin the dog pack and become a paparazzo again - oh yes, and a tester for male enhancement products.
Photo Credit: Splash News
We LOVE the fact that Adnan Ghalib has been using Britney Spears as a guinea pig. After all, he is on a test panel for a male enhancement company. (Incidentally, in the roster of testers, he lists his profession as 'filmmaker" and says he works in what he calls "the" industry.) He tests and gives his opinion of various male sex oriented products like Viagra that increase virility. How much he's paid for this we don't know, but we wonder if Britney knows and if she puts in her two cents.
Photo Credit: Splash News
Britney Spears' British paparazzo "boyfriend" Adnan Ghalib is living high on the hog since he moved into Brit's Malibu house, but he DOES have responsibilities. Sources say he is now working as Britney's personal assistant and driver/bodyguard. He's also been cleaning her house and running errands, for which Britney supposedly pays him "thousands of dollars" a week. As a side job, he's said to be peddling off the record interviews to magazines for $1000 and up. And Britney's English accent gets more pronounced every day. If Ghalib is a Muslim, what's the deal with the crosses?

Granted, we predicted that thanks to Amy Winehouse, beehives would be the "next big thing" in hipster hair but frankly it never occurred to us that Britney Spears would jump on the band wagon. As usual it appears that she has declined help from experts and opted to do it herself. Maybe Amy should give her some tips.

Britney Spears is going cold turkey while she's in the psych ward "under observation " at Cedars Sinai, and withdrawal from Starbucks and Taco Bell is just about killing her. She's come to the brutal realization that she can't have whatever she wants while she's locked up there. Patients can have no personal possessions and absolutely no food or drinks can be brought in. And of course there are no vending machines because they can't have money. Patients have 3 choices for sustenance: They can eat regular hospital food (mystery meat and jello) or they can arrange to pay $175 a day for gourmet hospital food (a full menu,) or they can arrange to have the nurse order from nearby Jerry's Deli. Jerry's is the ONLY place allowed to deliver to the psych ward - they have a contract with the hospital. And plenty of cold turkey.

Miracles DO happen. The other night when Britney Spears was photographed looking particularly thrashed, she popped into the Lisa Kline store on Robertson for a new look. When she walked OUT in her new cranberry dress and jaunty hat, she looked remarkably better, as if she'd spent time at a spa. What's Lisa Kline's secret?
Photo: WENN
Yikes! This is what Britney looked like the day the news about her sister Jamie Lynn's pregnancy hit the news. We wonder if it was news to her too - she seemed to have a hard time conjuring up a "response" to the revelation. On the other hand, if Jamie's three or four months along like we suspect, and expecting a Spring baby, you'd think Britney would have heard about it.
Now that Britney Spears' album has dropped like a rock to #41, her label Jive has all but given up on her. They're disgusted because Britney wouldn't cooperate and promote the record, and they're not investing any more money in it. Jive also took a hit when Jordin Sparks had the lowest sales of an American Idol winner, ever. They've already got a new girl to take Britney's place. Jive signed Australian model-turned-singer Samantha Jade and they have big plans for her. Samantha, who's only 20, writes her own songs, and sang the title song for the dance movie Step Up. Jive will be releasing her album early next year with great fanfare. Watch out, Britney!

This is how Britney Spears dressed to go to court this week. Afterward she made the inevitable stop at a gas station for sustenance. What do you think of her outfit?

Britney Spears was seen shopping on Melrose Avenue with this guy a few days ago and we wonder if anyone out there can identify him. Is he a boyfriend? A fashion expert? Hairdresser?
This just in: Astute readers identified the guy as music producer JR Rotem - and it's strictly business!

Now that her kids are gone, Britney Spears is aimlessly wandering the streets with her puppy to keep her company. This is the same dog whose leg she broke so we're relieved to see him out and about. Note that Brit the human sponge has finished her 1500 calorie frappucino and she's drinking Jennifer Aniston's Smartwater. She needs all the help she can get.
Is ANYBODY really surprised that Britney Spears lost custody of her kids? She seemed to be doing EVERYTHING she could to hasten the process. Out in bars every night. Photographed having emotional breakdowns. Dragging the boys to Starbucks constantly for coffee and cigarettes. Not the zoo - Starbucks. She hauled the kids to Robertson to shop on the most photographed street in LA. Car crashes, no California drivers license. Her own mother sides with K-Fed. Britney never stayed home under the radar. It's almost as if she WANTED to lose custody. Right now it's all for the best. Let's see if Britney finally deals with her mental problems. If she gets her act together, she'll get her boys back.

Another day, another dreadful photo of Britney Spears running all over town for no apparent reason. Today she chose to offend the hairdressers union by revealing her amateur hair extensions close up. (Can't she get Paris Hilton's extension people to come to her house in that truck?) And now the PETA fanatics will probably turn on her for wearing what looks like a fox trimmed leather jacket. Some people can do no right.
Let's clear up this rumor once and for all. A story circulated that Britney Spears was 86'd from Chateau Marmont for appalling behavior that included smearing food all over her face. Radio talk shows pounced on the story and spread it further. Yeah, Britney has problems, but she's not THAT far gone. The food deployer turned out to be a fun loving chubby drag queen dolled up as Britney. SHE must have had plenty to say as she was hauled out of the place!
We're still reeling from Britney Spears' performance at the VMA's. From here she looked like she was in a daze, barely connecting with the other dancers or audience. (Too many lollipops?) Her plain outfit looked two sizes too small and gave her a stuffed sausage look. When male dancers lifted her she seemed like dead weight. Did she bother to sing AT ALL? We never saw her lips move with the music. Even more embarrassing than her awkward dancing were the looks on the faces of celebrities in the audience. They could barely contain their shock and pity. We wonder if Criss Angel backed out at the last minute.
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
Is Britney selling designer handbag knockoffs (Versace?) out of the trunk of her car? No, but apparently when she shops on Robertson she wants to be SURE she has enough money. The everpresent plastic coffee cup is accounted for and we assume she's getting nervous about appearing on the VMA's because her nails are bitten to the max.
Las Vegas Illusionist Criss Angel is milking his MTV collaboration with Britney Spears to the absolute max. He inserts himself in every possible photo op with her. Criss, 39, and Brit, 25, both have the same manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm and Jeff masterminded their working together (and stirring up PR together.) There is NO romance, but Criss is enjoying the camera flashes and Britney might benefit from his magic at the MTV show - IF she shows up. Whether she's "ready" won't be decided until the LAST minute. By WHOM, we don't know.

Here's Britney Spears leaving a Beverly Hills tanning salon last night - she's wearing a cute little dress, but those new extensions! We didn't think they could get any faker looking, but seeing is believing. (Did K-Mart open up a hair augmentation department?) And it seems like no tanning salon wants to brag that Brit's a customer because she's always being made fun of for her orange-y looking skin color. We bet most of the freebies she used to get have dried up.
Thanks to all you readers who took action after you read here about Britney Spears' neglect causing her little Yorkie London to break his leg. Apparently many animal lovers reported her to the ASPCA and they went to her house to investigate. She wasn't home, so they haven't gotten any definitive answers yet, but steps have been taken to protect Britney's pets. Two things can be learned from this issue: First of all, remember that the ASPCA actually CARES about saving animals and rescues them- while the self-aggrandizing cult called PETA is more interested in getting face time on TV. And secondly, The National Enquirer originally broke this story - some of you out there don't believe the Enquirer is accurate - time to wise up!
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
Britney Spears has crossed the line. We can put up with a lot of bad behavior but NOT cruelty to animals, We were justifiably worried when Britney bought this tiny twelve week old Yorkie that she named London. If she's irresponsible with kids, how can she be trusted with animals? The Enquirer has revealed that London now has a BROKEN LEG in a cast. Because Britney put the three pound pup into a crib with her boys and they treated him like a toy and tossed him on the floor where he was found whimpering in pain. Britney's cousin Alli noticed he wasn't walking right and he was taken to the vet. Britney's kids have Kevin to watch out for them - her pets have no one. It's sickening.

Excuse us Britney, but isn't that innocent LOOKING water bottle one of the reasons that Lindsay Lohan ended up where she is? (HERS were full of vodka.) We can't help but notice the profusion of lollipops in that car and can only hope they're as innocent as they look also. Seems like Brit's left eyelash is trying to make a run for it.
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
Guess what's IN those lollipops that we so often see Britney lapping up? According to The National Enquirer those pops are laced with DRUGS! They say Britney discovered marijuana laced lollipops in Amsterdam three years ago, and found a place to buy them in Santa Monica. Apparently she soon graduated to pops laced with a powerful narcotic - more potent than morphine. It's fentanyl citrate - the suckers are approved by the FDA to treat severe pain in cancer patients, not girls with bad air days. It explains Brit's persistent craving for "sweets." She keeps the pops in her purse and pulls one out when she wants to get high. When her mother Lynne learned about these drug lollipops, she hired a detective to keep an eye on her estranged daughter.

Britney Spears shopped on Robertson at Kitson and Lisa Kline today and we're showing you this picture for two reasons. First, we're amused because she's making her female companion cover her hair with the same unattractive headband/scarf that SHE'S been wearing. Second, we're worried about that adorable puppy who looks so confused. He's too young to be driving around with her in her convertible in the hot sun all day. We're watching you Britney.
We've established that Britney Spears' muscular companion is really more than a bodyguard. And less than a boyfriend. Actually, there's no romance, but the guy has many talents - he's a bodyguard, a manny for the kids, and most important of all, he keeps the people he's working with OFF drugs. While Britney was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, her right hand man had his own bedroom. And it happens Kevin Federline is relieved to know the guy is keeping an eye on Britney and the kids.
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
Stop the presses! Britney Spears got out of her car in Malibu with NOTHING on her head! She wasn't wearing a scarf or hat to cover her questionable roots. She must be gaining confidence because she wants us to know she's "no pushover."
Never a dull day in Britney Spears' life. She's been heavily photographed with the Cro-Magnon type shown above who MIGHT be a bodyguard, trainer or paramour, depending on Brit's mood. At the same time Britney's drug counselor named John Sundahl has spilled the beans "We're a couple" to the Enquirer. Sundahl ,38, went on to document their romantic time together and says Kevin Federline has subpoenaed him to testify in their custody battle. But if you saw the photo of Sundahl in the Enquirer you'd laugh - the blonde golf shirt clad "dad" looking guy is NOT Britney's type. All we know is, the guy in this photo is NOT John Sundahl - so who IS he?
We've been worried about irresponsible Britney Spears' messed up life, but now we're worried about the puppy she just bought. This weekend she saw this tiny Chihuahua and impulsively purchased it on the spot. Why is it you have to be more responsible to buy a gun than a puppy? Pounds are loaded with abandoned Chihuahuas desperate for homes. It's just wrong.
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
Poor Britney. Does she really think she's going to have a good time at Les Deux when she goes out looking like a valley housewife? The place is filled with exquisite young women. Make an effort!
Photo Credit: Buzz Foto
We hate to say it but Britney Spears seems like she's losing touch with reality. Why else would she go out looking like an off-duty Eastern European stripper? It's not just booze or drugs or tacky fashion - we're afraid she might have serious mental problems. She's lost it and she won't listen to anyone. When you're rich and struggling with possible mental illness and IN DENIAL, what can anyone do? We feel guilty making fun of her because every day it's more apparent that she's hanging by a thread. It's entirely possible that her next stop will be a mental hospital.

This picture of Britney Spears leaving a Beverly Hills nail salon might lead you to assume that she's trying to give up two bad habits: smoking and flashing. She's sucking on a lollipop instead of inhaling, and she's wearing that long dress over her bathing suit to cover herself up while climbing in and out of the car. Of course these notions could also be the last thing on her mind.

Monday night Britney Spears just couldn't "get no satisfaction." She had high hopes and got all prettied up and went out looking for a good time but it was an off night everywhere. She went to three clubs - Winston's, Parc, and Josephs, but none were lively enough to suit her, so she ended up heading home earlier than usual.
Sounds like Britney Spears wants to call Paris Hilton a big fat moocher in the worst way, but she's holding back from naming names. On her website, Britney makes reference to the "unhealthy friendships" she acquired after she split up with Kevin. That's when Paris took Britney "under her wing" and trotted her around Hollywood night after night for several weeks. (Whether she advised Britney to stop wearing underwear is suspected, but not verified.) Their friendship ended as quickly as it began. Britney admits she was swept away by the excitement when she was taken out to dinner and parties with these newfound friends. Later, the balloon burst- she found out SHE had paid for everything. Britney says THAT proved to be "a huge learning experience for me." Looks like SOMEBODY won't be seeing Paris on visiting day.
Britney Spears had a happy weekend, counting her blessings that Lindsay Lohan was the one with the DUI and not HER. Brit celebrated by taking a spin in the sunshine with a new toy - a jaunty convertible Mini Cooper. And without a bodyguard in sight! Of course, they are probably in a car ten feet behind her.
During Britney Spears' last visit to The Grove mall in West Hollywood, she decided to use the first floor ladies room in Nordstrom. Her bodyguards took charge and prepared the restroom for her visit by chasing everyone out. An employee from the makeup department who was shooed out became irate ( it's not advisable to mess with those cosmetic girls!) She called store security and told them "A man just chased me out of the ladies room." Store security guards immediately confronted Brit's guards outside the bathroom and told them "Leave now or you'll be arrested!" Just then, Britney came out smiling and they all strolled away.
Bodyguards can be nothing but trouble at times. Britney Spears just fired her crew of security guys and it's getting to be a habit because it happens every few months. Insiders say it's because after a few months of togetherness, the guards and their boss become friendly. The guards get very protective of their employers and start to give them advice like "Are you sure you want to go to Hyde tonight - there are loads of photographers there." Since Britney doesn't like being told - or advised - what to do, she gets rid of them! Her former guard Big Rob is suing Britney for unpaid overtime etc, but he still occasionally works for K-Fed. Naturally, that aggravates her!
We're relieved to hear that Britney Spears FINALLY gathered the courage to fire her manager Larry Rudolph. While she was in rehab she was stewing over how to get rid of him gracefully. Brit had changed handlers earlier his year and brought back her former manager Larry. THAT'S when everything started to go wrong. Larry, who barely knew Kevin Federline, pushed Britney to divorce him. He assumed Kevin was the root of all her problems. Britney was upset and vulnerable and she did as she was told, even though she still loved Kevin. Britney was so distraught over the bustup that she started abusing substances. Larry urged Britney to pal around with Paris Hilton - another horrible mistake. Britney had time to think it all over in rehab and she realized Rudolph had nearly ruined her life with his bad advice. Larry saw it coming - we hear he put his house on the market a few weeks ago.
Last night around 8 pm our eagle-eyed reader Cynthia bumped into a healthy looking Britney Spears at the Shell gas station at the Nevada-California state line. Apparently Britney was taking a bathroom and leg stretching break on her way home from Las Vegas. (Did she attend Shanna Moakler's birthday party there?) She and a lookalike girlfriend were riding in a black Escalade with two large bodyguards. Proving she HAS learned a few things, Britney wore SHOES. (She's famous for using gas station restrooms barefoot!) The girls bought CD's in the station, Britney squealed "Yeah, we gotta have Whitesnake!" After charming a few fans, the girls drove away with Whitesnake blasting.
We know where Britney Spears was Sunday night - and it wasn't a bar..... exactly. She had dinner at Citizen Smith in Hollywood with her mother Lynne and her mini-me little sister Jamie Lynn. They sat in the back of the restaurant and managed to have a quiet meal of "upscale comfort food" that included chicken skewers, mac & cheese, and shrimp. All three were wearing Laker basketball jerseys - a step up from Britney's recent hat and granny shawl getup.
Photo: SplashBritney Spears must be feeling mighty paranoid up at Promises rehab because she wanted to clear the place out of other patients. Apparently Brit didn't know who to trust - she feared that other people being treated in her section of the rehab might be selling stories about her. She inquired about buying out all the rooms and keeping them empty while she's in residence. At $48000 a pop it would add up, but she can afford it. Eventually she was convinced that other residents are not a threat and it's actually a good idea for her to socialize with them. Since doctors believe that her recent behavior problems may be more post-partum depression related than anything else, we wonder if Tom Cruise will offer HER a movie role like he did Brooke Shields.
Kevin Federline and Lynne Spears have called a truce and they're working together to care for Britney's babies and make sure Britney completes her treatment in rehab. The first time Britney checked into Promises, we told you that Kevin took advantage of her absence and seized his sons who were being cared for at the Malibu house by Lynne. That's why Britney broke out and she and her mother finally reached an agreement with Kevin. He's caring for the kids, with the help of his family and Lynne, while Britney is away. Kevin told Britney if she doesn't complete rehab treatment, she won't get the boys back. Right now Kevin and Lynne are together interviewing new nannies to help with the kids. We hope whoever gets the job will email this website!

This missing bombshell explains a LOT. Britney had a good reason for busting out of Promises rehab early Wednesday. K-Fed had KIDNAPPED her children! Not long after Brit checked into the Malibu rehab, Kevin appeared at the Malibu house and TOOK the children away from Britney's mother. Her mom tried to get police help but they wouldn't get involved since Kevin was their father and had legal custody. Plus, of course Britney was not there. He took the children to his house in Sherman Oaks. Kevin confided to friends that he thought Britney was "crazy" and he loves his children too much to leave them with her family. Kevin's family, including his mother, are at the house with the kids. His friends say he has a very "normal" family. THAT's why Brit broke out of rehab and ran straight to a lawyer's office. (above) Kevin reasoned with her and let her visit the kids to see they were all right. He told her she must complete rehab in order to get the children back. So now she's back in treatment and motivated.
We're not buying Star's story about Kevin Federline threatening to have Britney's hair analyzed for drugs. They claim he planned to use the results against her in court in their battle for child custody. The tabloid claimed THAT'S why Britney cut off all her hair. If that were the case, why would Britney leave all her chopped off hair behind on the salon floor? She knew it was collectible and could easily end up on eBay or in a lab. We don't believe the lice story either.
We just found out exactly what Britney was doing Sunday night at her friend's party that was at On The Rox - not the Roxy. Brit's friend had rented out the private club On The Rox and arranged for karaoke to be set up. Britney arrived with girlfriends who roamed around and left her alone at a corner table in her blonde wig. But Britney DRANK with a vengeance. She asked that all her cocktails be served in plastic cups SO PEOPLE WOULD THINK IT WAS SODA. She downed tequila, vodka, Midori sour, and asked for champagne. What a mix. The karaoke started and a guy got up and started to sing Brit's "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" hit. "Britney freaked out and was nearly crying." another guest told us. She asked the manager to "PLEASE STOP THIS SONG" and he said "I can't do that - he's a friend of the party host" -he didn't realize who she was, so she told him. He had no time to react, because she stormed off in a fury. All we can say is thank goodness for rehab.
We hear that Britney's hair has been removed from sale on eBay. Could it be someone purchased it privately? We only hope the possessor of this castoff hair has the sense to RUSH it to the nearest lab and have it analyzed so we can find out what drugs - if any - she has in her system. The only substance we can picture causing the urge to shave one's head is crystal meth. But Red Bull may also play a part in this.
A reader sent us this photo of Boy George and insisted he sees a striking resemblance between Britney and the lead singer of Culture Club. We don't happen to think all bald heads look alike, but Britney does appear to be past her prime like George. We think it's time for Britney's mother to step forward and take control - to smack her daughter and march her into immediate and disciplined treatment.
So Britney went on a self destructive spree and first got her head shaved and then went to a tattoo parlor for some skin art. We're thinking that SHE IS TURNING HERSELF INTO JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. She's already got the wife-beater. Have you ever heard the feminist phrase "I've BECOME the man I wanted to marry?" (Her neck even looks thicker.)

Britney, Britney, Britney. Don't you have any friends to clue you in on the basic needs for survival? Judging by your past behavior, we guess not, so WE are taking on the task of educating you about the use of public restrooms. First of all, you are no longer in Louisiana - gas station bathrooms in Los Angeles are LAST choice in dire emergencies. When we are on the road and need a bathroom fast, we civilized LA people look for a nice supermarket, a fast food restaurant, a hotel, a department store, or a Starbucks. Gas stations stopped taking "pride in their clean restrooms" in the 70's and most of them haven't been cleaned since then. We can only imagine the horrific scene (and scent) that awaited you when you were forced to use the mens room because the ladies room was locked at the Malibu station in the picture above. Somebody PLEASE get this message to Britney.
We had a source at Cirque de Soleil's Zumanity show in Las Vegas who told us all about Britney Spears' visit last weekend. It's the THIRD time Britney has seen the erotic show and this time she brought a party of eight including her boyfriend Isaac Cohen.They had a whole row to themselves. The source said that Britney looked "spent" from too much partying. But the most revealing info was the fact that Brit's friends ONLY laugh when SHE does. Whatever Britney did - they mimicked her - if she stood up and clapped- they did the same - if she sat quietly, so did they. With that kind of entourage- no WONDER no one gives her good advice! For the third time, Britney did NOT go backstage and the cast was disappointed.
Here's an interesting rumor. While Britney Spears is flaunting that Encino model Isaac Cohen, we hear she's secretly fiddling around with Chris Judd. Yes, THAT Judd who was married to Jennifer Lopez. Keep in mind he's a dancer ( and a far more successful one than Kevin Federline ever was .) Britney LOVES dancers, but is she seeing Chris just to get back at Kevin? Right now, she's keeping the relationship under wraps. We can't imagine Britney being attracted to Chris because he's actually a decent guy, but he would be a nice step up for her.
Everyone's asking "What possessed Britney Spears to flash her pantiless bottom at photographers over and over?" Someone offered us the theory that perhaps Britney was inspired by the movie Babel which was released a few weeks back. A main character, played to perfection by Rinko Kikuchi, is a disturbed mute Japanese schoolgirl who is desperate for attention. She leaves her underpants at home and flashes startled onlookers in restaurants and such. Apparently the looks on their faces are gratifying to her. Maybe the newly single Britney was crying out for help with the same inappropriate behavior.

Finally someone has taken the incentive to force Britney Spears to stop flashing the press! She dined at Mr Chow for her 25th birthday Saturday night and her two male companions were very fussy about how she arrived. One thoughtful dude actually HELD her knees together and forced her to climb out of the car that way. Somebody give that guy a medal - he did what none of her other "friends" had the sense to do. Paris and Nicky Hilton and Lindsay Lohan joined Brit inside where they partied in the private room. Afterward they all took off for Hyde. Two unexpected party guests turned up there-club promoter Ingrid Casares and her expartner Chris Paciello. Chris is a mafia goon who recently got out of jail after informing on his mob bosses- (shouldn't he be in the witness protection program?) Let's hope Britney doesn't pick him as her new best friend.
Paris Hilton has opened up new worlds for Britney Spears and Brit is having the time of her life, while her friends and family are worried. Every since Paris latched onto the newly single Britney, Brit has been picking up her friend's sloppy habits. Night after night the girls are out boozing and partying (at Hyde, Le Deux, and all the other clubs) and it doesn't stop at closing time. The party continues at Paris's house. The urban crowd - including Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg - packs Paris house all night and the music is driving neighbors mad. Typically, Britney ends up crashing at Paris's place and wearing the same clothes the next day. And Britney is starting to dress like Paris - flashier and with no underwear! In contrast - her estranged husband Kevin Federline seems to be without credit cards or liquid assets, and he's NOT thrilled. You're right Britney, having a good time IS the best revenge, but don't fall off the cliff!
One quick question: we thought Britney got her hair cut into a cute little bob, but when we look closely at the top of her head in this picture, it looks like she has fake hair. Are those extensions or a weave or a wiglet or WHAT? Does anyone in Hollywood have real hair any more?
Britney Spears has managed to make her husband Kevin Federline's dreams come true. She turned an out-of-work dancer into a model, an actor, and a singer, while also getting him red carpet treatment at the hottest clubs. He's been checking out locations for his record release party on Halloween night and it looks like he's pretty much settled on Xenii. This will be Britney's first big night out since their second baby was born. Kevin seems to like the after hours club Xenii - he was there until 5 AM Sunday morning. Those brave enough to pre-order K-Fed's CD "Playing With Fire" from his online store automatically are entered into a contest to win a trip to LA to attend the party. Second prize - no kidding - are the sneakers Kevin wore when he performed at the Teen Choice Awards.
Get used to looking at this face. Britney Spears' little sister Jamie Lynn is on the fast track to becoming the teen idol that Britney once was. Her family has carefully planned every step for the fifteen year old - from her dancing, singing, and gymnastic lessons to her Zoey 101 TV series for teens. Now that Britney is a wife and mother there's plenty of room for another teen popstar and Jamie is growing up fast. Jamie wants to work on her acting before recording her first album. Behind the scenes her family and handlers feel she has more natural talent than her older sister and she's on her WAY. Hopefully she learned from her sister's mistakes.
She's not talking, but it looks like Britney Spears revealed what sex her baby will be! Britney and her hunky driver/bodyguard/nanny popped into the upscale shop Sugar in Westlake recently. "They arrived in a white Range Rover - (isn't that the car she gave Kevin awhile back?) Britney wore a top with many stains, and she had extensions in her dark hair. It was hot and she looked frazzled. Her "Manny" held the baby while Britney looked for loose fitting comfortable clothes for herself." The eyewitness remarked "He seems like a lot more than just a bodyguard." Other shoppers looked on from a polite distance. She tried on a few things and selected over a thousand dollars worth of tops and little dresses for herself. "She was very polite and nice to everyone. At one point she asked another customer "Who cut your hair?" She loved her haircut. She spotted a trendy plush baby blanket - IN PINK- admired it - and quietly added it to her purchases. The blanket was around $75 - $100. Nobody commented on the color, they just looked knowingly at each other as she left.
Britney Spears wasn't fooling us when she got riled up by split rumors and loudly declared once and for all that she LOVES her husband Kevin Federline and has no plans to get rid of him. She PROVED her love by putting her money where her mouth is. She spoiled her husband with the ultimate status symbol in credit cards: the coveted titanium Centurian BLACK American Express card. The card has both her and his name on it. Only a tiny percentage of big spending AX members in the world are invited to carry this exclusive card. THAT ought to prop up K-Feds ego and give him a solid feeling of security- for now, anyway.
While Britney Spears plays housewife and mom, K-Fed is STILL in the recording studio fiercely reworking his music. According to sources "He can't make up his mind - he keeps redoing things over and over. It's never quite right." Of course expensive studio time doesn't matter when your wife is loaded. Coworkers say Kev is "THE MAN" , swaggering about, calling the shots, and chainsmoking (hand rolled cigarettes) when his famous spouse isn't around. "But when Britney shows up, Kevin changes - he gets all meek and keeps saying 'Yes, Dear'."
So who really wears the pants?
