Britney Spears' Mom To Write Book On Parenting
Oct 27, 2007
Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, has revealed plans to write a book about raising her family in the limelight called "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World". The timing is peculiar as her daughter, Britney, is being questioned on her own parenting skills. Lynne Spears' book is currently slated for Mother's Day 2008 release, and is being published by Thomas Nelson Inc., a Christian book publisher.
The publisher declined to make any further comments on the impending book, stating: "That is all we're releasing at this time. I have not seen a manuscript so I cannot comment on the content."
One has to wonder if Momma Spears has the best intentions in mind, considering Britney's troubles and public meltdowns.

It's splitsville for Emma Watson and rugby hunk beau
Harry Potter star Emma Watson has broken up with rugby hunk beau Tom Ducker.

“She is very upset. He was her first love,” The Sun quoted the friend, as saying.
A spokesman for the teenage actress has revealed that the couple broke up because the magic was lost in their relationship.
“They just drifted apart as teenagers do. Emma is now just concentrating on her A-levels and the new film,” spokesman said.
The couple started dating in the beginning of this year and their romance went from strength to strength as she whisked him to the French Riviera for a holiday this summer.
The actress’ pals claimed that she dumped Ducker after seeing pictures on a website of him with a string of teenagers at a party.
However, some insiders said that the pair had already split when the photos were taken.

No ruling today in Britney Spears' custody case
The hearing in the child custody dispute case between pop star Britney Spears and ex Kevin Federline ended Friday, October 26, without a ruling. Britney's visitation rights were extended over the weekend and a ruling is expected sometime Monday or Tuesday.

Britney arrived with cousin and former assistant Alli Sims wearing a dark dress, shades and her signature high boots.
Once the hearing started the media was asked to move out.
Before the start of the morning session Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, requested that Britney's deposition be videotaped to record not just what she says but the way she says it. At her last hearing, while talking with Commissioner Gordon, Britney chose her words carefully, such that they appeared sincere on paper, but laced them with heavy sarcasm.
LA Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon turned down the request to preclude a media leak of the videotape.
It is believed the hearing focused on the adverse report by the court appointed parenting coach.
According to TMZ Britney left the courtroom as many as three times during the course of the hearing to go to the bathroom. She looked distraught and according to one observer was crying.
When an Extra reporter asked Britney how she was doing Britney shouted, "Eat it, lick it, snort it, [bleep] it!" and walked back into the courtroom crying.

Poll finds Britney Spears one of the Unsexiest Women Alive
Britney Spears' frequent show of skin and more notwithstanding men find her one of the Unsexiest Woman Alive. Topping the list of celebrities who don't turn on men is 'Sex and the City' actress Sarah Jessica Parker.

In a scathing attack on the 42-year-old actress, Maxim.com writers - who compiled the poll - likened Sarah Jessica to famous US racehorses Barbaro and Secretariat and insisted they would rather get up close and personal with her 'Sex and the City' co-star Chris Noth.
One Maxim.com writer said: "How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women and still star on a show with "sex" in the title?
"Pull your skirt down, Secretariat, we would rather ride your co-star Chris Noth!"
Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse - whose beehive hair and prominent eyeliner has been copied by teenage girls worldwide - finished in second place.
Another Maxim.com writer revealed: "When we first heard this chick boast about her reluctance to go to rehab we thought, now there is a girl we can party with! But upon beholding her openly hemorrhaging translucent skin, rat’s nest mane and lashes that look more like surgically attached bats, we were the ones screaming, 'Nooo, nooo, nooo!' "
'Grey's Anatomy' star Sandra Oh is in third place, while 49-year-old "menopausal" singer Madonna finished fourth and was ridiculed for her adoption of Malawi boy David Banda.
The survey said of Madonna: "Madonna traded pioneering sexuality for, like other old Jewish women, self-righteous bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration.
"Combine a Paris Hilton-like pet accessorizing fetish - only for dirt-poor foreign babies - with a mug that looks Euro-sealed to her skull, and you've got Willem Dafoe with hot flashes."
Britney Spears - whose behavior has spiraled out of control this year with her wild partying, drug taking, shaving her head and bizarre performance at the MTV Video Music Awards - rounded up top five.
One Maxim.com contributor claimed: "Britney has lost the ability to perform, but gained two kids, two useless ex-husbands, and about 23 pounds of pudge."

- Sarah Jessica Parker
- Amy Winehouse

Britney Spears' Hit and Run Case Dismissed
Britney Spears got a breather from the courts Thursday when her hit and run case was dismissed but her troubles are far from over with a custody hearing coming up and a charge pending for driving without a valid California license.

Robard-Rifkin was reportedly paid approximately $1000 for damages her car incurred.
Meanwhile, Britney, having pleaded not guilty to the charge of driving without a valid California driving license, is not off the hook yet.
Britney got herself a California license on October 2nd but the L.A. City Attorneys don’t think it compensates for not having one at the time she was charged.
Flanagan said today that the judge wants to place her on probation for the violation for no less than 12 months.

Hollywood Halloween How-To
Oct 25, 2007
By Ben Silverman

Britney Spears
Brangelina
Kid Rock and Tommy Lee
Miss Teen USA contestant Lauren Caitlin Upton
Homer Simpson It's not exactly an innovative choice because the bumbling Simpson patriarch has been a television staple for the past two decades, but with a hit feature film tucked under his poor, sagging belt, Homer is ripe for reinvention. You can't swing a radioactive cat in a Halloween store without hitting a Homer mask, though you can always go au naturale by painting your face a bright, pukey yellow. Finish it off with a crisp white shirt, straight blue pants, a stuffed pig and a box of fresh pumpkin donuts. Mmmmm … scary donut …
Hannah Montana and Billy Ray Cyrus Leave it to Disney to revitalize the career of Billy Ray Cyrus by featuring both the country crooner and his arguably more talented daughter Miley Cyrus in this wildly popular children's show. Though we're sad to see Billy Ray's epic mullet disappear in favor of a hipper, Bon Jovi-esque 'do, feel free to bring it back for this father/daughter ensemble. And chances are your little girl is dying to dress like Hannah -- just manage those expectations (cubic zirconium is just as shiny as diamonds, honey) and you'll be the talk of the middle school Halloween soiree.
Larry Craig
The senator from Idaho quickly became America's dirtiest politician when he made an unseemly pit stop in an airport bathroom stall, a decision that could prove costly to the GOP but offers a timely costume opportunity for shy Halloween wallflowers. Just encase yourself in a few sturdy sheets of cardboard, scrawl the words "Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport -- Tricks and treats welcome!" on the outside, and glue a fake hand to the bottom, palm facing upward, of course. And if anyone asks, it wasn't you in the stall.

It's been quite a year for the troubled British chanteuse. Powered by two catchy singles, her album "Back to Black" seared up the charts and shot the soulful singer into the blinding light of tabloid scrutiny -- not exactly where you want to be if you've got issues with booze and heroin. Luckily for the rest of us, her distinctive beehive and penchant for problems makes fine fodder for an ironic Halloween outfit. Pile up your hair, slap on enough eye makeup to make Tammy Faye blush and pass out 12-Step pamphlets to anyone sloshing a drink. Someone's gotta go to rehab …
