Britney Spears is Pregnant

Star is reporting that photographer Adnan Ghalib is bragging to his friends that he is going to the father of Britney Spears’ baby. One friend says that “Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he’ll be made for life.” As expected, Britney’s family is not happy about it. A Spears family source says that “Her parents know she can’t handle more children.”

Maybe this report will get Jamie Spears to stop letting Adnan visit his daughter. He has the legal say after all. Adnan is a total creep and Britney doesn’t need guys like that around.

Amy Winehouse back on drugs

Pals fear for the sanity of troubled Amy Winehouse, as it is revealed she is back on drugs. The tormented singer, 24, who only last month spent two weeks in rehab, has returned to her old habits after telling chums: “I can’t go on.”

Amy is taking cocaine, ecstasy, cannabis and booze to dull her emotional pain, according to friends. They shockingly revealed:

She got a reluctant pal to smuggle drugs into the London rehab clinic on her first night there.

Was “clean” for less than ten days in her failed bid to pass a drugs test to get a US visa to attend the Grammy Awards.

Fears that without drugs she is just a zombie.

One horrified friend told how last week Amy deliberately burnt her hand with a lighter, screaming: “My life is a shell of what it was. People talk to me and I just zone out. It’s like the whole world is now stillborn. Colours aren’t as bright and love doesn’t feel real. I don’t know who I am and I just feel numb.”

The pal added: “We were sat around the table when she held a lighter over her hand and let the flame scar her skin. Amy has been up and down in a way she never was before. One minute she’ll be fine, the next she’ll be in a heap on the floor, screaming she can’t go on. She feels that rehab is turning her into some sort of zombie with no emotion.”

The revelations follow Amy’s twitchy and erratic performance at the Brits.

Jamie Foxx to play Mike Tyson

Jamie Foxx will play boxer Mike Tyson on the big screen. The ‘Ray’ actor has already started working with Tyson on a sensational biopic of his life, the controversial former heavyweight champion has revealed.

Tyson said: “Jamie Foxx and I will be working together. He will play me in the film about my life. We have already had several discussions about it.”

There will be no shortage of material for Foxx to work with. After reigning as the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 until 1990 Tyson’s life went into freefall when he was sent to jail for rape in 1992. After his 1995 release he continued to make headlines and caused outrage when he bit a chunk of rival Evander Holyfield’s ear off during a fight in 1992.

Tasty…

Tyson, who is currently fighting bankruptcy, admits he struggled to cope even during the peak of his success. The 41-year-old sportsman said: “Even when I was training for a fight I would drink. This is the first time I have been clean and sober in my whole life.”

In 2005, Fox was received a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as legendary singer and pianist Ray Charles in ‘Ray’.

Diddy’s Acting Gets High Marks

The artist sometimes known as Diddy, Sean Combs, is getting high marks for his acting in the ABC special ‘A Raisin in the Sun’. The New York Times reviewed the TV adaptation of the Broadway play saying “There are no mediocre performances here… That Mr. Combs makes his desires seem like more than empty materialism must come in some part from the fact that he has been hungry at the same table… The play’s most poignant speech is his, and he delivers it with all of the dignified vengeance it demands, showing us that one of the great advantages of money is the power it provides to tell the wrong people off… Mr. Combs commanding and fierce.” I guess his Hollywood aspirations aren’t that far off after all.

Pink Speaks Out

Just yesterday it was announced that Carey Hart and Pink are divorcing after two years of marriage. Today, Pink released a statement on her website.

Hi everybody.

I wanted to reach out personally to all my fans/friends out there in the world. First and foremost, thank-you for all of your support and love, it means a lot to me right now. The most important thing for you all to know, is that Carey and I love each other so so much. This break up is not about cheating, anger, or fighting. I know it sounds like cliche bulls***, but we are best friends, and we will continue to be. All I know at this point, is that I want to make the best album I can, and Carey wants to do the best possible job he can with everything he has going on. He is a good man, so please support him as well. One never knows the future, but mine and Careys’ just might involve beach babies and sunshine one day. Just not right now. Thanks for the concern and caring.

X Miss P

Does that mean that while she was married, she was “Pink Hart”?

Still No Kids for Britney Spears

Today marked yet another custody hearing for Britney Spears, who has not seen her two young sons in over a month. The commissioner says she still can’t see them, though she can talk to them on the phone.

Also, Commissioner Scott Gordon finally excused her lawyers from Trope and Trope and allowed her to replace them with Stacey Phillips.

Finally, Gordon said that the motion filed to move things to federal court had no bearing on the custody case. We’ll see what continues to occur.

New Law for Britney Spears

Access Hollywood is reporting that a new law is being proposed to protect pop wreck Britney Spears from the paparazzi. Councilman Dennis Zine said that “[It cost] $25,000 dollars to take an ambulance with Britney Spears to the hospital. Tax payers paid for that. It is not going to be called the ‘Britney Spears Law,’ I am not going to give her credit for that because it is not about Britney Spears, it’s about the paparazzi violating everybody else’s rights, freedoms, and privileges. What the paparazzi have done is developed a lawless society where the rules don’t apply — on the wrong side of the street, jumping out of cars at the red lights, swarming the car, you don’t do that.”

Lily Allen defends chat show

Lily Allen has dismissed reports in the UK press that many audience members walked-out of filming for her new TV show last week. The UK pop star has taken to her blog to respond to reports in the national press that the first episode of the chat show was beset by problems.

This weekend, the Mail On Sunday claimed one third of the crowd at “Lily Allen & Friends” left because they were bored. However, Lily says some were forced to leave because the recording had overrun and people had to get home.

She wrote: “Thank you to the ever supportive ‘Mail On Sunday’, they insinuated a third of the audience left because they were bored with the content of the show. In fact, due to it being the FIRST show we’ve done we ran over a little and naturally a small number of the audience had to catch the last trains back to wherever they came from.”

Elsewhere in the online posting, Lily said she is nearing completion on her new album, the follow-up to 2006 debut “Alright, Still”.

Madonna Gets a Grammy

One of the first Grammy Awards to be handed out on Sunday went to the Queen of Pop, Madonna. The singer won for Best Long Form Music Video for her ‘Confessions’ tour at the pre-telecast ceremony. Congratulations to Madonna! I’m sure that once her new album comes out, she would get a lot more awards considering who she worked with on the album. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland have already proven how much of a powerhouse duo they are behind the sound boards and it’s sure to bring Madonna a good edge for next year’s awards.

Amy Winehouse is In

The US has changed their mind and has granted Amy Winehouse a visa to come to America. The reversal of decision came after the British pop wreck appealed the decision to reject her visa application. After initially being denied, Wino was set to perform at the Grammy Awards, where she’s nominated six times, via satellite. Now that she’s got her visa, she can fly out to LA for the big show and perform live! But in any case, I hope she stays in London and just focus on her health. It’s obvious she’s doing better and I’d hate if her traveling would put a glitch on that.

Justin Timberlake’s Movie Career

He hasn’t scored a hit with his previous efforts but Justin Timberlake is going full-speed ahead on his acting career as he is slated to star in a new film called ‘The Open Road’. Variety is reporting that the 27-year old ‘Sexyback’ singer will play a young man trying to reconnect with his father (who will be played by Jeff Bridges), a legendary athlete, as he struggles to get him home to his ailing mother’s (played by Mary Steenburgen) bedside. Has he not learned? He should just stick to what his really good at – and that’s singing, writing and producing music.

Sheryl Crow finds purpose in Motherhood

Sheryl Crow says motherhood has given her life a purpose. The ‘If It Makes You Happy’ singer, who adopted nine-month-old son Wyatt last year, is enjoying every moment of being a parent and the rewards it brings.

The 45-year-old star – who has successfully battled breast cancer – said: “Wyatt has changed everything for me, not only in how I look at my life, but right down to my sleep patterns! It’s been a wonderful experience having this little joyful, innocent spirit around. He’s rendered me fearless and also given me a sense of urgency about what I want to do with my life.”

Sheryl, who split from champion cyclist Lance Armstrong in 2006, adopted Wyatt alone and is grateful for the support her family has given her.

She said: “I don’t think I had any expectations about being a single mother, but I’ve had my family around a lot, so he’s not being entirely raised by a single parent. Whether it’s been easy or hard, it’s been a lot of fun.”

Kylie Minogue Still Friendly with the Ex

Kylie Minogue turned heads with her hotness when she attended that 43rd Goldene Kamera Awards in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday. While she was there, she made sure to clear up the rumors about getting back together with her former flame.

Kylie adamantly denied reports saying that she is back together with French actor Olivier Martinez even thought they were spotted together in Paris last week. She said about being photographed with him last week “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.”

Britney Spears Wants Manager to be Co-Conservator

Sounds logical, right? Well, maybe in a normal relationship. However, Britney’s business manager is Howard Grossman. He is good friends with….wait for it….Sam Lufti. He won’t comment on anything right now, though.

Sam is a sneaking thing, too, so any friend of his would be a little suspicious to me. Cops still haven’t served the restraining order on Sam because they haven’t seen him. The judge did find out, though, that he talked to Brit on the phone Sunday, so he added to the order that there could be no contact whatsoever between the two.

Amy Winehouse in the Hospital

Amy Winehouse has been brought to the hospital. But don’t fret, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The singer’s hospitalization was said to be needed, so says her father. Wino was suffering from dehydration, was vomiting a lot and needed to be put on a drip to get fluids and essentials back in her system.

The reasons for her hospitalization are actually symptoms of withdrawal and that’s good because it means that she’s not back on drugs. Wino’s dad said that she was moved to a hospital because her rehab facility did not have sufficient medical facilities. It looks like everything is going according to the rehab plan.
