Britney Spears has been denied 50/50 custody of her two sons.  The LA County Commissioner decided she could have 2 days visits (noon to 7pm) and one overnight visit with Sean Preston and Jayden James.  Britney has a deadline of Friday to baby proof the house as well.  The Commish said in his ruling, "the environment at Britney's house ranges from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all."  The parenting coach also said in her report that Britney rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play."  That is so sad for tater tot and small fry.

Britney Spears was pulled over last night by an LA Sheriff deputy.  Well, actually it was Ali driving Britney's white Mercedes, which is new and already has expired temporary tags.  The two were warned, but the best part of the entire traffic stop, was the drunk guy who decided to back his ass up to Britney's passenger side window and do a little drunk rump dance for her!!  Man, I love that guy!!

So, it turns out that it was not Prince Harry in the royal family blackmail story.  I guess the person being blackmailed for $100,0oo in order to avoid the release of a sex tape that shows him engaging in gay sex and giving cocaine to a royal aid is about twelve times removed from the throne.  In fact, I haven't even heard of Viscount Linley, but I guess he is the son of the late Princess Margaret.

So, Britney Spears was in court Friday for her scheduled custody hearing and it was complete chaos at the court house.  Britney acted a bit odd during the hearing, leaving THREE times to use the bathroom, each time changing her hairstyle and sunglasses before heading back to the proceedings.  Then, on one of her trips back in from the bathroom, a reporter asked her how it was going inside and Spears responded like a poet, saying, "Eat it, lick it, snort it, F@#k it."  Nothing but class.  There should be a ruling in her custody battle by today.  Britney wasn't too sad after the hearing, she was still up for a night on the town Friday...with Dallas QB Tony Romo.  Britney and her cousin Ali picked Romo up at Ketchup in LA and the three headed to Les Deux to party.

According to the Australian media, Justin Timberlake is being a bit of a butt to his fans down under!  First of all, he went out for lunch and was less than nice to the restaurant staff.  He enjoyed free lunch, didn't tip his wait staff and just walked off.  Then, he went outside and a photographer said, "If my kid could see me now, he'd be so excited!"  That is when a pissy Justin replied, "I can't believe they let you reproduce children."  Then, JT walked right past the waiting fans, blowing them ALL off for autographs or pictures.

David Copperfield offered a Seattle woman $2 million to stay quiet after she accused him of raping her in the Bahamas.  Oddly, the FBI seized $2 million in cash from Copperfield's Las Vegas warehouse last week.  The FBI and the victim apparently set up some sort of a meeting with Copperfield to exchange the money, but we have no word how that was set up.

Britney Spears continues to learn to be a good mom.  Yesterday, she met Kevin Federline and a parenting coach at the Beverly Hills Hotel.  It was actually for their court appointed "Parenting Without Conflict" class, which is supposed to teach them to cooperate with each other with proper communication skills.  In other words, act like adults and don't trash each other in front of your two toddlers.  Is that too much to ask??  Britney was said to be quite the mess when she arrived, since it was the first time she was going to be in the same room as Kevin in months.

"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul says she will NEVER AGAIN do a reality TV show!!  Paula says the producers of "Hey Paula!" completely manipulated the tapings and editing of the show to make her look like a complete whack job.  Paula said they were on a mission to make her look bad  and it was not accurate at all.

According to Star Magazine, the reason for Ellen Degeneres complete meltdown on TV over Iggy the dog....had nothing to do with Iggy.  Insiders say Ellen is a mess because her three year romance with actress Portia De Rossi is all but over.  One source said, "Ellen would never have broken down like that on TV if things were right in her home life.  Portia has been telling Ellen she's very unhappy at home.  When it comes down to it, she wants to be with someone younger and hotter.  She wants out, but Ellen has been begging her to stay.  Portia is really everything in this world to her."

The dancers that backed up Britney at this years HORRID MTV VMA performance STILL have not been paid.  The poor dancers, who careers will forever be tainted from that horrible performance, were paid a small amount when hired, but then never saw checks for their practice times and the performance.  There is speculation they fell through the cracks when Britney fired her management, The Firm.

Jennifer Lopez still has such a hard time dealing with her breakup from Ben Affleck that she won't even go back to Ben's hometown of Boston anymore to tour.  Ben proposed to Jennifer there and there are just too many memories for her there that she can't deal with.  Since their split in 2004, Jen is not friends with Ben anymore, since he has trashed their relationship in the media.  Meanwhile, J. Lo hasn't officially announced yet that she is pregnant, but her ex-husband Criss Judd has!  He told a reporter at a film festival in Beverly Hills recently that he was excited for her and her pregnancy.

Oprah admitted on a recent show about mistresses and the wives of the men they are sleeping with...that she too was once "the other woman."  Oprah said it is the one thing she regrets in life and said that she even caught her married man with ANOTHER mistress besides herself!  No wonder she won't marry!!

The first CBS show of the new fall season to get the ax?  "Viva Laughlin" after just 2 episodes.  The Hugh Jackman-produced adaption of a quirky British musical just didn't fly here in the U.S.  That is pretty sad, since we embrace some serious crap.  For this week, the time slot will be filled with a "CSI" repeat.

God bless all that is Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag of "The Hills."  Not only are they publicity whores on a whole different level, but they are also real American heroes.  The two did interviews yesterday to talk about their harrowing experience with the raging California wildfires and how the two almost died!!  Heidi said Spencer was down the hill behind their home with a garden hose, keeping the fire at bay and Heidi yelled (in her bikini, I'm sure...), "Come back here....the firemen are coming!!"  Heidi went on to say, "Spencer was down there wht a garden hose and I was like, oh, what have our lives comes to!"

Madonna should get permanent custody of her adopted African son five months earlier then she had hoped.  She will appear before the high court in Malawi next month for a review of her temporary adoption order.  And, it's expected the hearing, which was originally not due to take place until April...will grant her full custody of two year old David Banda.  Originally, the order had stipulated that at least 18 months should elapse to assess Madonna's suitability as a parent. The lawyer added, "If this is true, it would appear the rules have been bent."  Officials were also supposed to visit the Madonna's home twice to observe the family interaction, but so far, they have only come by once.

Joshua Jackson, aka Pacey from "Dawson's Creek," will be joining the doctors of "Grey's Anatomy."  Josh has signed a multi-episode deal, which will have him joining the cast on episode 11.  He will be a hot doctor.   Nice.

Britney Spears was out again, doing her usual stuff...Starbucks and McDonald's...all while trying to hide her newly injected Angelina Jolie lips.  Brit just got her lips shot up and clearly isn't comfortable with them yet.  She did finally give in a pose for the paparazzi, but her lips did look a little crooked on top.  It also looks like Britney was able to spend a little time with her kids over the weekend.  Spears was seen out with Jayden and Sean....and some cranky looking court-appointed monitor.  

Dominic Purcell and his wife Rebecca have seperated.  Dominic, best known as Lincoln Burrows on "Prison Break" and his wife have 4 children together, ranging in age from 4 (twins) to 8.

Is Mike Meyers a freak?  Sources on the set of his film "The Love Guru" in Canada, Mike has 2 personal assistants that follow him EVERYWHERE.  One assistant has the job of "unbrella holder."  This guy's sole purpose in life is to make sure NO sun rays hit Meyers delicate skin or eyes.  Then, the second assistant walks with Mike, holding a fresh bottle of water with a straw for sipping.  Here is the next strange thing.  "Mike gets easily distracted by the sun hitting any reflective surfaces, so he makes people run around the movie set with black tape to cover up each one."  "When they are filming outside, the sun moves and before you know it, there's black tape covering everything and people are running around with rolls of it."  That's weird.

James Cameron and Olivia Newton-John are just two celebrities that have already been forced to evacuate their Malibu homes.  Just a few residents who may be on the list next to leave their homes in the fire zone?  Jennifer Aniston, Sting, Bill Murray, Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Courtney Cox, Tom Hanks and Goldie Hawn.  The fire was possibly started when strong winds downed a power line, which ignited dry brush.

 

50 Cent apparently beat the snot out of a costar on the set of his new movie "Righteous Kill" after he was accused of not learning his lines.  The rapper allegedly got into a "heated argument"  with costar Frank John Hughes...and by heated, I mean paramedics were called to the set.   A source says Frank tried to correct 50 and he got really upset.  Next thing you know, Hughes was on the ground being pummeled by Cent.

Amy Winehouse, her husband Blake Fielder-Civil and a third person were arrested in their hotel room yesterday in Norway.   The three were caught with seven grams of marijuana and were released after paying a fine.  Police were apparently tipped off.  Apparently, in Norway, once the fine is paid...case is closed.

Britney Spears has another issue that I am sure will come back to haunt her.  Yesterday, Spears ran over the foot of a paparazzo while she tried to navigate her car through a mob of photographers.  Britney was leaving a medical center, where it appears she had some sort of a plastic surgery on her lips.  I don't know what, but they were red and swollen, which may have meant lip injections to make them fuller.

Meanwhile, Britney Spears has more to worry about then her lips, since she has temporarily lost visitations with her kids.  The Superior Court Commissioner, Scott Gordon, made that ruling after finding out Britney never gave the drug testing company a phone number she can be reached at.  Spears said she can't be reached because of bad cell reception in Malibu and instead gave the number of an assistant, which is never answered.  The next court hearing on her children will be October 26th.

Last thing I will say today on Britney...apparently she has settled her civil case with the woman whose car was hit in her August hit and run.  Britney will reportedly pay the woman $1,000 for damages and pay for her rental car costs.

Jessica Simpson makes reference to post-Nick Lachey in her November interview with InStyle magazine.  She says, "I've had my heart broken since my divorce.  That's O.K.  I believe you fall in love more that once and you get your heart broken more than once.  Trust me, I have cried myself to sleep."  I think we all know she is talking about John Mayer.

Uh-Oh.  Has Owen Wilson fallen off the wagon??  It was just August that Owen tried to take his own life and then sought out-patient treatment for his drug and alcohol addiction.  Well, he was spotted on October 5th at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, allegedly, hammered.  Witnesses say he staggered out of the bar.  That makes me sad, I hope it is not true.

Lionel Richie's baby gift for his pregnant daughter Nicole is a new home!!  Not just a small starter home either...a $7 million dollar villa in Century City, Los Angeles.  Nicole and Joel have been staying at his home in the valley, but Lionel doesn't think that is the safest place to raise the baby and wants the couple living in a gated community.  Man, Joel Madden is set for life.

Mischa Barton had HUGE plans when she turned her nose up at "The O.C."  Mischa is now starring as a lesbian in Russia that finds love at a t.a.T.u concert.  Of course, t.a.T.u is a fake teenage lesbian pop act from Russia.  Wow, good things for Mischa.

Pam Anderson says it was a game of poker that led her to her new husband.  Pam says she was in Vegas playing poker, when she took a break and had her driver sit in for her.  When she got back, she was $250,000 in debt to Rick Soloman.  Rick2, being the gentleman that he is, told her she could wipe the slate clean if she gave him a kiss.  She did and from that point on, they have been inseperable.  Pam said their relationship took 17 years to bloom but she is in a great place right now.

California is exposing its biggest tax cheats on the internet!!!  The top three?  Funnyman Sinbad, 70's superstar Dionne Warwick, and O.J. Simpson.  Sinbad owes $2,138,592.62, Dionne owes $2,665,305.83, and O.J. owes $1,435,484.17  Who would have thought those three have enough money to owe that amount!

Lindsay Lohan will return to rehab in Utah as soon as she finishes filming her new film "Dare To Love Me."  Lindsay says she wants to continue to focus on her rehabilitation from alcohol abuse and return to the Cirque Lodge in Utah.  Lindsay has been seen in LA shopping on Robertson Blvd, but not out at any clubs.  Good for her.

LAPD plan investigate Orlando Bloom for hit and run, after a car accident last Friday left a friend covered in blood.  Orlando left a club last week, flipped a u-turn and hit a parked car.  His friend in the back had a piece of metal from the frame of the car cut her head.  She also suffered whiplash.  The paparazzi has video footage of Orlando calmly walking away from the crash after, the paps talking him into turning around and doing the right thing, which he did.

LAPD says don't hold your breath if you want to see Britney Spears mugshot.  They have released a statement saying they DON'T release ANY celebrity mugshots.  What?  Do they think we are stupid?  EVERY celebrity that has been busted in the last 10 years has had their mugshot released within hours of booking.  Is this a new rule?

Poor Ellen DeGeneres.  She was crying like a baby yesterday on her talk show, begging the pet adoption agency Mutts and Mom's to reconsider their choice to punish her bad decision to give her adopted dog to a good friends family...by showing up at the families house and taking it away in front of the kids that had grown attached to it.  Ellen adopted the dog, but after several weeks, it was obvious the puppy wasn't a big fan of her cats.  That his when Ellen found some good friends who were willing to take the dog home and make it part of their family.  Well, the adoption agency she went through had a clause in their contract that says you return the dog to them if you plan to not keep it.  Ellen didn't see that part and thought she was doing a good thing by finding the dog a new home instead of dropping it back at a shelter.  So far, the adoption agency has showed no mercy.  They brought police to the families house and removed the dog, no negotiating.  Ellen begged yesterday for the agency to bring the dog back to the family.

Britney Spears reported to a Los Angeles police station to be booked on charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license in California.  She turned herself in about 9pm last night.  The charges stem from her August 6th hit and run.  Britney also blew off hundreds of dancers FOR THE THIRD TIME that showed up to audition for her next music video.  She decided at the last minute to not show, but had someone videotape the dancers for her.  Britney apparently had another fender bender over the weekend...but no worries...it was just a member of the paparazzi.   He told her he wouldn't sue her.

Michael Jackson is being sued for $7 million dollars by Prince bdulla Al-Khalifa of Bahrain, since Jacko has backed out of a deal to make two albums, write and produce a live-Broadway kind of sow with Jackson's movie and a cast album, and to write and publish an autobiography.  Prince Abdulla is angry that Jackson skipped out on him in June of 2006.  The deal would tie  Michael up until 2012.

Country singer Gretchen Wilson was a total redneck on a recent flight to Los Angeles.  American Airlines was forced to issue a in-flight citation and write up what the airline calls a "disturbance report."  Wilson was traveling in coach from Nashville to L.A. when she became "belligerent and verbally abusive" to the flight crew.  A flight attendant asked her to put her dog in its carrier for landing and Gretchen shot back with "F@#k you!"  This nice exchange was after the flight attendant had asked her to calm down and join her in the back of the plane to talk the problem over.   Word has it, Gretchen and her crew were drinking and had their privileges taken away.

If you spend the night with Derek Jeter, in the Penthouse suite at the Shore Club, would you expect to pay your own parking?  Probably not, either did the two loose girls that partied with him over the weekend.  The women were seen in the lobby the morning after their big night with Derek, screaming about not paying for parking.  They were then seen on the phone and then happy, after he clearly agreed to pay for it.  Jeter was seen all over Miami over the weekend, including a night out with Jingle Bell Bash artist Timbaland at Skybar.

Kanye West is NEVER happy.  If he doesn't win an award, he freaks, if he wins an award...he tries to give it away!!!  This happened at the Hip-Hop awards after Kanye won for Best Hip-Hop Video, then abruptly tried to give it to UGK and Big Boi for the song "International Player."  Big Boi told him no....and that it was not the time to be humble.

Vanessa Hudgens is the new face...I mean, feet of skechers. The "High School Musical" star will make $1 million dollars for a one year contract.  She will follow in the footsteps of Ashlee Simpson, Carrie Underwood and Britney Spears.
