Mark Ronson teams up a Kaiser Chiefs/Lily Allen duet on new KC album

THE STARBLOGGER — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:21:47 GMT

Lily Allen contributes vocals to a song on the forthcoming new Kaiser Chiefs' album.
Producer Mark Ronson is currently working on both Allen and the Kaiser Chiefs' own records, and had the idea of teaming up Allen's vocals with a Kaiser Chiefs track.

He said: "The other week I was struck with the brainwave, 'Why don't they do a track together?' I had a word with them all and everyone was keen so it happened."

Allen previously sang a cover of Kaiser Chiefs' song 'Oh My God' for Ronson's covers album 'Version'.

Speaking to The Sun Ronson said of the new song: "It sounds awesome. Lily and Ricky Wilson's vocals really gel and the instrumentals are top drawer."

Ronson then that he thought the track will go down a treat at festivals. "We're all hoping it's going to be a big one," he said. "I'd definitely rock out to it at a festival. It's a summer track, even if the weather is shit at the moment."

Paper Magazine's 25 Most Stylish Songbirds

THE STARBLOGGER — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:31:48 GMT

From Stevie Nicks' billowy dresses, to Grace Jones's power-suits, to Madonna's Gaultier bra, to Björk's swan get-up, female musicians have a long history of making fashion statements. These days, the current crop of songstresses, both up-and-coming and fairly established, are carrying on the tradition. To honor these women and their impeccable senses of style, we decided to compile a list who we think are the 25 most fiercely fashionable femmes doing their thing in the music biz today. As a way to keep things organized, we divided up the gals into those that rock an ethereal, very L.A. flower child look, those who go for the chic high-fashion thing, those who dress like an early-'90s club kid, those who think outside of the fashion box and those who we lovingly like to refer to as hot messes.

Victoria Legrand: One-half of ethereal Baltimore-based duo Beach House, Victoria sports flowy thrift store dresses that evoke a faded photograph look.
Becky Stark: Becky Stark, lead singer of Lavender Diamond, wears flowery frocks that compliment her angelic, operatic folk ballads.
Zooey Deschanel: Wide-eyed actress turned songstress Zooey Deschanel sings creaky folk ballads alongside M. Ward in She & Him, always donning a dress that we could totally see the Oliva d'Abo character on The Wonder Years wearing.
Joanna Newsom: Recently crowned the cover girl for PAPER's 2008 Beautiful People issue, Joanna dresses like a chic (think Sonya Rykiel and Stella McCartney) wood nymph.
Chapin Sisters: This sister act -- comprised of Abigail Chapin, Lily Chapin and Jessica Craven -- rocks an L.A. meets Appalachia kind of style.
THE ORIGINAL: Joni Mitchell

Chan Marshall: Performing under the moniker Cat Power, this Chanel-clad chanteuse was approached by Karl Lagerfeld outside of a New York club and he apparently told her: "Only a certain type of woman can look glamorous when smoking."
Eleanor Friedberger: As the be-banged sister half of brother-sister duo Fiery Furnaces, the former Miu Miu model likes mixing and matching thrift duds with the likes of Alberta Ferreti and Prada.
Lykke Li: The best thing to come out of Sweden of late, singer Lykke Li (who is in the process of relocating to New York) is known for sporting (generally black) deconstructed, Imitation-of-Christ-y numbers.
Jenny Lewis: She of Rilo Kiley fame loves a classy hot pant -- whether it be in flower jumper or sparkly high-waisted shorts form -- and vintage mini dresses.
Janelle Monae: The futuristic R&B sensation is a recent signee to Bad Boy records and her new album Metropolis Suite, out this month, introduces us to her alter-ego Cindi Mayweather. Monae's trademark look consists of a tuxedo jacket, mini bow tie and saddle shoes.
THE ORIGINAL: Marianne Faithful

Kid Sister: There's nothing childish about this hood-chic (and sometimes blonde) bombshell who kicks it with Kanye without breaking a bedazzled nail.
Katy Perry: Conservative she is certainly not, but referencing an '80s interpretation of the '50s for her style inspiration, the coquettish pop phenom still manages to keep it classy.
MIA: Don't be confused by a Marc Jacobs campaign -- the Sri Lankan/British singer, with her Day-Glo-hued, eccentric threads, has a style all her own.
Santogold: All that glitters isn't gold, but the MIA-likened musician backs her funky hip hop-meets-punk panache with beats that prove she's just as solid as her style.
Yelle: This Parisian starlet has invaded the States, bringing energizing anthems in coy pixie haircut and awesome neon nylons.
THE ORIGINAL: Salt N Pepa

Sabina Sciubba: Lead singer of the dance-tastic Brazilian Girls (who are not from Brazil) is known for her way, way out there looks -- from translucent face masks to dresses made from Chinese lanterns to silver-ball-adorned frocks.
CocoRosie: Sisters Sierra Rose Casady and Bianca Leilani Casady sport freaky, gypsy-esque duds mirroring their freaky, gypsy-esque sound.
Karen O: The lead wailer of New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs doused herself in olive oil for her first live show and hasn't looked back since. The bowl-hair-cutted singer tends to sport outrageous outfits for her shows, including (but not limited to) dresses made from safety pins, cat-suits covered in tinsel and lion-esque headdresses.
Lizzi Bougatsos: The queen of downtown art-rock, the lead singer of Gang Gang Dance favors a miss-matched Roma-style look.
Ebony Bones: The Brit it girl calls her look "cartoon couture" -- i.e. clothes made from Legos, neon-colored wigs and humungous necklaces.
THE ORIGINAL: Björk

Amy Winehouse: The controversial English crooner is not unlike a bad car crash: rockin' a raggedy beehive and some busted ballet shoes, we still can't look away.
Beth Ditto: The Gossip’s leading lady is large and in charge -- and proud of it. She manages to look truly amazing while sporting multi-colored leotards and flailing around onstage like a maniac.
Aubrey O'Day: Being one of five pretty ladies in Danity Kane, it's hard to stand out. But Aubrey, with her platinum tresses and boob-revealing party dresses (sometimes featuring brown splotches courtesy of her fake tan), always seems slightly unhinged -- in a good way!
Dirty Harry: So much for cleaning up nicely, as the British performer (née Victoria Harrison), who's been in the business since she was 15 and is good friends with Courteney Love, keeps it positively filthy instead.
Lovefoxxx: The lead singer of Brazilian electro outfit CSS loves performing barefoot, jumping like a madwoman into the audience and wearing a spandex jumpsuit... or two, or three, or four -- all at the same time.
THE ORIGINAL: Courtney Love

Miley Cyrus recently chatted with Access Hollywood backstage at the Idol Gives Back taping…
One thing they wondered, would she audition for the singing competition if she weren’t already famous?
“I probably would have, I swear,” she told Access. “I think that would have been so cool!”

Though she expects Simon would be harsh, Miley is hopeful she’d fair well with the “Idol” fans.
“Hopefully I would win. [Simon is] pretty cruel. Hopefully I’d take it home,” Miley added

Bay City, Again, Requesting Madonna, To Give Her A Key To The City

THE STARBLOGGER — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:53:54 GMT

The quest to reach out to Bay City's most famous offspring has begun.

Mayor Charles M. Brunner has drafted a letter inviting Madonna to come home to Bay City and finally accept a key to the city.

City Commissioner Christopher J. Shannon, frontman for a local rock band, is planning a Madonna tribute album in which he hopes to recruit local musicians to cover hits such as "Like a Virgin," "Express Yourself" and "Vogue."

Guy Greve, president of the Bay Arts Council, wants to go as far as commissioning an artist to sculpt a statue of Bay City's Material Girl.

"The local arts council would like to pay homage for her artistic contributions," he said. "I could see a sculpture of her in Bay City. One of Madonna's famous poses could be made into a sculpture."

Brunner said he has e-mailed a letter to Madonna's father, Silvio "Tony" Ciccone, who owns a vineyard in Suttons Bay.

"I sent it to the winery initially, because that was the only e-mail address I had," Brunner said.

"And I did get an e-mail back," he said. "They gave me, I believe, his personal e-mail address, so I sent him an e-mail and a copy of the letter inviting her to Bay City - so hopefully maybe something happens through her father."

Brunner is hopeful his words will atone for the actions of past city officials who have rejected Madonna on multiple occasions - much to the dismay of Madonna's family still living here, including her 96-year-old grandmother.

Madonna, who was born in Bay City in 1958 and spent a considerable portion of her childhood visiting family here, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this past month.

That prompted city leaders to reconsider bestowing upon her the infamous key to the city that Mayor Timothy G. Sullivan refused to give her in 1985, when Madonna was considered, by some, too risque for such an honor.

City officials in the late 1980s also refused to accept a professional sculpture of Madonna from an Italian artist, citing a belief that her popularity would fade out in time.

Nearly three decades since her rise to fame, that notion has failed to come true - Madonna remains a worldwide cultural icon.

Just this week, she knocked Elvis Presley from the history books, charting her 37th Top 10 hit with her new single "4 Minutes," a duet with Justin Timberlake. Presley officially was nudged from his standing as the artist with the most Top 10 hits in rock history, according to Billboard.com.

"Far and wide, she wields significant influence in the arts and entertainment world," said Shannon, Bay City's 1st Ward Commissioner. "For Bay City to turn its back on that, it would be a shame."

Perhaps best known locally for calling Bay City a "smelly little town" on national television two decades ago - a reference to a former oil refinery that once polluted the city - Madonna graces the cover of Vanity Fair this month, holding the world in her hands for the magazine's third-annual "Green" issue - her 10th cover for the magazine.

Local leaders say she's a living example to anyone growing up in Bay City with dreams of making it big in the arts world.

Since moving to New York City on a whim in 1978, Madonna has gone on to sell more than 200 million albums worldwide, as well as author children's books and star in and direct films.

Today, she lives with her husband, British film director Guy Ritchie, and three children in London.

Brunner notes that he met Madonna's father in January at the Great Lakes Environmental Film Festival. Tony Ciccone catered the wine for the inaugural event at the State Theatre in Bay City.

Brunner, a former rock band drummer, is hoping he'll make a lasting connection with Madonna and her family, though he was unsuccessful in reaching out to her longtime friend and publicist Lis Rosenberg, who did not return e-mails from Brunner or The Times.

"I'll do what I can," Brunner said. "I've got a one-page letter. I hope she gets an opportunity to read it. We'll just keep working on it."

Read a .pdf of Brunner's letter to Madonna.

Martin Ciccone, Madonna's older brother in Beverly Hills, told The Times that Bay City should invite Madonna to town and give her the key for her 50th birthday on Aug. 16.

"I'd say go for it," he said. "I cannot tell you what she would do. I want to say, yeah."

Shannon said that would be great, but as a founding member of Bay City's Hell's Half Mile Film & Music Festival, he's partial to having the singer slip into town, oh say, in mid-October.

"We could even play one of her films," he said

PEOPLE.com Previews Madonna's Hard Candy

THE STARBLOGGER — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:24:06 GMT

"Workin' up a sweat/ that's what music's for," Madonna sings on "Heartbeat," the pumped-up fourth song on Hard Candy, her latest album, due April 29. Indeed, the pop diva makes good on her promise – singing her way through an hour of Euro-flavored dance tracks infused with retro, house beats. PEOPLE.com took an advanced listen – and can reveal five fast facts about Madonna's latest.

• On "Spanish Lesson," produced by the Neptunes, Madonna does, in fact, go bilingual, offering liberal translations of phrases like, "Entiendo," which she says means, "I get it," over a funked-up flemenco guitar riff. (Literal translation: "I understand.")

• Kanye West offers a fast-paced rap on "Beat Goes On," the eighth track, breathlessly rapping, "I think I'm going to try something new."

• The singer indulges her choral side on the album-closer "Voices," which features production by Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nate "Danjahandz" Hills. The song builds to a dark, cinematic crescendo, as the album closes with one lone tone.

• Madonna sings, "You always have the biggest heart/ though we're 6,000 miles apart," on "Miles Away," a direct allusion to living and working far away from hubby Guy Richie.

• Madonna really wants you to dance: Two songs – opening track "Candy Store" and "Beat Goes On" – feature overt calls to action. "Gotta get up off your seat," she sings on the latter, bolstered by the Neptunes's production and West's rapping.

Madonna Wants Adoption Hearing Postponed because the date clashes new album HARD CANDY.

THE STARBLOGGER — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:45:04 GMT

Pop superstar MADONNA has appealed to a Malawian judge to postpone her forthcoming court appearance in her ongoing adoption case, because the date clashes with her U.S. promotional duties for new album HARD CANDY.

The Music hitmaker and her director husband Guy Ritchie are due to attend a hearing in Malawi next week (begs07Apr08), when a judge at the country's High Court is expected to formally approve

The Music hitmaker and her director husband Guy Ritchie are due to attend a hearing in Malawi next week (begs07Apr08), when a judge at the country's High Court is expected to formally approve the couple's adoption of two-year-old David Banda.

But on Thursday (03Apr08), Madonna's lawyers filed a motion to delay the important hearing until the end of April (08).

A court official says, "They have made that application at (the) High Court today and the judge is expected to respond this afternoon."

The initial 2006 adoption caused outrage in the African nation; Madonna and Ritchie were accused of side-stepping the official adoption process.

However, the Hollywood stars appear to have won over Malawian officials with their parenting skills. In a confidential report dated 25 March (08) - which has been leaked onto the internet - Probation Officer S. Chisale at the Ministry of Women and Child Development praises the couple for looking after Banda so well.

The report reads: "In the best interest of the child, I do recommend the petitioners (the Ritchies) to your Lordship for your consideration that they be granted an adoption order, having proved that they are suitable parents and satisfied the conditions in the Interim Adoption Order."

Madonna's new album, Hard Candy, is released at the end of April (08)

SPECIAL REPORT: BRITNEY SPEARS REUNITES WITH MANAGER LARRY RUDOLPH

THE STARBLOGGER — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:17:12 GMT

The Following Article Was Written By Hollywood-247

Readers won’t be at all surprised by yesterday’s (TUES) flurry of frenzied Hollywood news stories that pop-princess Britney Spears and former manager Larry Rudolph will soon reunite. It began with a flash from E! Entertainment quickly followed by US.com and then instantly on TMZ. But if they’d all read our column last Tuesday Larry told me exclusively on a visit to his new Sunset Tan salon at the just opened Palms Place that he’d been talking constantly to her father, Jamie and added: “Britney will soon be able to seriously think about resuming her showbiz career and that comeback will be the biggest story ever.”

Larry masterminded Britney’s incredible money making career and chart-topping success over the years—and they only split up when she was angry that he’d helped orchestrate her initial rehab stint in the Promises clinic in the hills above Malibu. But as he told me with a knowing look and a twinkle in his eye: “She’s dumped all those bad people that somehow got into her life. She’s got rid of all those terrible influences and if she stages a tour it’ll make the biggest showbiz comeback ever.” He even confirmed that she’s already been working out with a choreographer to get her dancing right back to peak performance level!

On the heels of a footloose and fancy free vacation with her boyfriend Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen was spotted yesterday doing what she does best… looking pretty for the camera. striking a series of poses wearing some awfully skimpy lingerie. And of course there were plenty of swarming shutterbugs trying to catch a glimpse.

But the workers at the photo shoot did their best to give the Victoria’s Secret beauty the privacy she needed, shielding her from the paparazzi whenever possible.

The day before, Gisele and Tom arrived back at LAX International Airport, returning from Ibiza, Spain where Bundchen was modeling for a Vogue eyewear gig.

Madonna on the cover of British 'Elle'

THE STARBLOGGER — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:39:35 GMT

Madonna is taking a page out of the Oprah Winfrey Handbook to World Domination by planning to build a girls’ school in Africa.

The Material One is in the process of applying to found the educational establishment in Malawi, where she adopted her son David in 2006.

She tells Elle magazine, “I’m buying land and getting permission to build a girl’s school. The women will play a big role in the future and rebirth of Malawi.”

Oprah co-founded the all-girls Henley-On-Klip Leadership Academy in South Africa in 2006. And Madonna, who currently governs a Malawi based charity project, isn’t the only U.S. star helping students in the African nation - Ricki Lake is helping to build a school founded by her Malawian nanny.

Kristen Bell’s Cosmo cover has just hit the newsstands in New York and comes out nationwide on Tuesday.

Here’s some of what the Heroes star has to say:

Kristen on playing “the pretty girl”: “The feedback I’ve always gotten is that I was not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl and not homely enough to play the ugly girl. So I’ve always been like, ‘I’ve got to be able to fit in somewhere!’”
Kristen on the gossip press: “I could spend all day weeping about the bad parts of this career, but I wouldn’t change it…you just buck up and build a thicker skin, you know?”

Kristen on what she would be if she weren’t an actress: “I’d be a vet. The Patch Adams of the veterinary world.”

Kristen on the weirdest rumour she has heard about herself: “That I got a boob job. I’m barely a B cup!”

Kristen on rumours that she dated Justin Timberlake: “I’ve never even met him, so you can understand why I was surprised to read an article about our torrid love affair.”

Britney Spears to make an appearance on “High School Musical 3"

THE STARBLOGGER — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:55:00 GMT

After her appearance in television series “How I Met Your Mother” boosted up the ratings of the series, it has been rumored that troubled pop singer Britney Spears will be tapped to join the Wildcats cast in the third installment of the successful Disney’s film series “High School Musical 3: Senior Year”.

The film series’ helmer desperately wants the former pop princess to make a cameo appearance in the film. “Britney is a modern day icon and having her in HSM would be incredible,” director Ortega allegedly explained. “If Ms. Darbus had a star pupil like her in the drama class, Sharpay would have some stiff competition.”

Further, it was said that her appearance will be backed up with a parody on her infamous gym hall dance routine from her hit debut single “Baby One More Time”. Aside from that, it is still unclear though whether she would appear together with the stars of “HSM”, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

The Aussie songbird gets personal with the lifestlye mag, opening up about men, how she relaxes and what she wears to bed!

Kylie on what she does to relax: “I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It’s a wonderful indulgence and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running overtime. It’s has much the knowledge that you can do it as the act of doing it. Peace and tranqulitiy. God. I sound like a new age spa voiceover! But it really is a way to escape.”

Kylie on what she wears to bed: “Ooh, that all depends! That’s all I’ll say!”

Kylie on whether it’s important for her man to be “domesticated”: “It sure helps. Not that I can talk, as I don’t want any rossettes in the kitchen. I always say my talent lay in other areas. I am also pretty handy with technical stuff, which might come as a surprise. My brother bequeathed his tool kit to me when he moved back to Australia from London. This being an act of such love and importance — as we know how men are with their tool kits — I have taken the responsibility as owner very seriously!”

"The internet reports are COMPLETELY FALSE, including comments from the fictitious Disney Channel spokeswoman Janey Moore."

LOL at whoever made up the fake spokespersons name. Hey JANEY! So, this means there are still going to be new Hannah episodes on the way, as well as a big screen movie! Are you so excited now?

Britney Spears Blender magazine Cover and Article Road To Ruin

THE STARBLOGGER — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:46:24 GMT

In four chaotic, self-destructive, fateful years, Britney Spears hit rock bottom … and kept on falling. Here, the inside story on all that went wrong—her missteps, her meltdowns and what friends say may be her last hope for rescue.

1.THE PAPS
Christmas lights dangle from tree branches in front of the Raffles L’Ermitage, the Beverly Hills hotel where Britney Spears slept last night—and where the paparazzi who keep watch over her now sit waiting. Although she owns a mansion in L.A., she often crashes in hotels because, the press speculate, her cupboards at home are bare: She likes to order room service. Spears is the only celebrity in the world under photographers’ 24-hour watch, a surveillance mode usually reserved for prisoners and suicides. Some of the core group of 15 or so lensmen who call themselves “her paps” pass the stakeout hours online, chatting with women via wireless laptop connections. Some smoke pot. Felix, the team captain for X17, the paparazzi agency with the closest ties to Britney, occasionally looks down at his phone to find a text message from Sam Lutfi, Spears’s confidant and de facto manager since last summer. Felix reads aloud: “She is inside.”

Whole Interview Continued Below!!!!

“Britney is money,” says another X17 photographer, standing next to the BMW that pictures of Britney have bought him. Someone tells the story of the day they followed her halfway to Las Vegas. She got takeout from Taco Bell at a rest stop in the desert. Then she turned the car around and drove home. “Britney is crazy,” says another, bemused.

We have been waiting since about 10 A.M., and the thrill, at 8:39 P.M., as two hotel security guards appear at the entrance to the garage, is libidinal: When Britney’s 612-horsepower Mercedes SL65 AMG shoots out of the driveway, rips west on Burton Way and up Foothill Road, it’s sweet release.

Britney drives like a rabbit being chased across a field. Trailed by 15 cars, she signals right, then turns left. Glides into a left-turn lane, makes a right. On Wilshire Boulevard, slows from 50 miles per hour down to 15, then bangs an illegal U-turn into brake-screeching traffic. The driver in the lead mutters, “Bitch.”

Then he’s cut off by a Mercedes SL500 steered by Adnan Ghalib, a daredevil-fearless paparazzo who usually rides at the front of the pack.

If Britney has been in hiding all day and her paps have gotten no pictures, they hope for a red light at the top of Coldwater Canyon, the last intersection before her house. Tonight they’re lucky. Britney stops; Ghalib pulls his Benz into the oncoming traffic lane, slams into park and the gang crowds around her car for just less than a minute.

Thus surrounded, Britney, wearing the same outfit she wore last night, doesn’t look at the photographers but focuses on a point in the air a few inches in front of her nose, slowly pivoting her head on the axis of her neck, clicks and flashes dicing her movement like a strobe. She seems to be basking, and she seems to be trapped. Even her vehicle looks resigned: A smashed headlight has been out for weeks, and she’s still driving on a spare tire from a flat she had in October. (Her paps changed it for her.)

When the light turns, the paps scramble back to their cars, Britney turns right, guns it and they let her go. The white car shrinks into the darkness, wriggling up Mulholland toward the gated community where she lives.

The Britney chase feels like a video game where, every moment, you’re sure you’re going to die; yet against all odds, despite all carelessness, nothing kills you. Even the photographers who do this every day admit that they’re scared by it. One X17 videographer warns, “Someone is going to get hurt, man.”

Without prompting, he mimes holding up a camera with one hand and dialing his phone with the other—explaining that the video of an accidental death cannot legally be sold, unless the cameraman can prove he was calling 911 at the same time. Clearly, he’s given this endgame some thought. There’s no way not to ask: Would a video of Britney’s death be the ultimate prize?
“That would be horrible,” he says. “No, no. Nobody wants that.”

2.THE POP STAR
Aside from Starbucks Frappuccinos, Britney’s primary nourishment nowadays is the attention of paparazzi, who slake the public’s unquenchable thirst for details of her travails. Britney has been a figure of fascination since her solo debut in 1999, back when she was everything a girl was, and wasn’t, supposed to be. The 17-year-old small-town Southern Christian Mouseketeer virgin-sexpot became a superstar—Lolita, Cinderella and Elvis Presley all in one—by tarting up a schoolgirl’s uniform and shimmying down the halls of a high school in the video for “ … Baby One More Time,” her first single. Britney’s image was a pop masterpiece, fashioned in her songs’ and videos’ provocative blend of innocence and experience. She grew into a Grammy-winning artist who, alone among female singers, debuted four consecutive albums (which, together, sold 75 million copies) at No. 1. Today, however, she’s become the undiluted essence of celebrity, and almost no one—not even Britney—seems much interested in her music. To promote her 2007 album Blackout, Britney did exactly one telephone interview, which lasted seven minutes. Disasters, not music, have become her product.

Steve Lunt, the A&R executive who steered her for most of her career, is baffled by the implosion. “It’s very upsetting to see what’s going on in her life,” he says. “She was always driven and focused. The most quietly, deceptively ambitious person you could meet. But when you lose your focus, it’s very hard to refocus.” Haltingly, Lunt adds, “You don’t know where this thing is going to go.”

For now, it’s off the rails. In the past 18 months, her transgressions, proven and alleged, have escalated beyond almost any in pop history. Next to Britney Spears, Courtney Love is Miss Manners. Since leaving her husband Kevin Federline in late 2006, she has flashed her vagina, shaved her head, physically attacked paparazzi and gone to rehab (twice). She has been charged with hit-and-run, effectively declared an unfit mother by the state of California and been fired by her lawyers (again, twice). She turned in the most disastrous performance of her career at MTV’s Video Music Awards show, got dumped by her management firm and has cleaned her hands of almost everyone who played any significant role in her first 25 years of life. She passes many days on what Ben Evansted, the paparazzo who took the most famous images of her genitals, calls “long drives to nowhere,” punctuated by stops at gas stations, tanning salons, drug stores, pet stores and fast-food restaurants. In December, OK! magazine reportedly paid $1 million for an interview with Britney’s mother, Lynne, and her sister, Jamie Lynn, in which the 16-year-old announced she was pregnant. When paps asked Britney what she thought of the news, she inadvertently revealed the degree of her estrangement from her family; with a scowl and a giggle, she said, “My sister’s not pregnant!”

If there was any remaining boundary between her public and private lives, it vanished just before Christmas, when she spent the night in a hotel with Adnan Ghalib, the alpha pap who works for a small agency called Finalpixx. Britney’s self-created Stockholm syndrome, it seemed, was consummated. Then, when it looked like things could not possibly get worse, police were called to Britney’s home when she refused to relinquish her two children after their scheduled visit on January 3. After a three-hour standoff, she was strapped to a gurney and taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The next day, she lost all visitation and custody rights to her kids.

Lindsay is a lightweight, Paris is a shoe-in for Junior League, compared to Britney. Her mess has become tragedy. Where did things go wrong? Many outsiders blame her problems on drug abuse, a theory given some weight when the judge in her custody battle wrote of her “habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol.”

But in scores of interviews with her former friends and associates, a more complex account of her agonies takes shape. A business associate who helped her prepare for September’s VMAs performance says, “There’s obviously some substance-abuse issues going on … But even if, hypothetically, she was out the night before the VMAs doing blow and then took a Xanax to come down and then got drunk right before the show—even if she did that—even that wouldn’t explain the performance. She wouldn’t have done that if there weren’t some self-sabotage going on.” (Spears did not respond to interview requests from Blender.)

Britney once had an A-list team of publicists, managers, lawyers and handlers that rivaled any superstar’s. Now she’s essentially reduced that staff to one person: Sam Lutfi, a 33-year-old Hollywood gadabout with a questionable past, a couple of low-budget film credits as a producer and no apparent qualifications for his current position. A prominent former Spears adviser says that Lutfi “has the potential to cause enormous problems, to sink her deeper in the hole and exploit her in a lasting way.”

Like all child stars, Britney Spears has been exploited, with varying degrees of calculation, since her career began—so much so that it may be the kind of relationship in which she now feels most at home. “She got chewed up by this new celebrity culture and spat out, so it’s hard not to feel some sympathy for her,” says VH1 Executive Vice President Michael Hirschorn. “She really was turned into a lab rat.” While her troubles include substance abuse, pressure from public scrutiny and a failure to understand that actions have consequences, many who’ve been close to her over the years agree that her most basic problem is something else. “This goes deeper,” says Melinda Bell, a former member of her management team. “It has to do with something about love.”

3.THE BREADWINNER
Jamie Spears, a contractor, and his wife, Lynne, a schoolteacher, were churchgoing people in the small town of Kentwood, Louisiana, when their daughter Britney was born. “They weren’t stage parents,” Steve Lunt says firmly. Yet from the time that 2-year-old Britney first asked to take dance lessons, her desire to perform has been the defining feature of her family’s life. Jamie had a drinking problem during Britney’s childhood (he’s now sober), and construction projects sometimes took him from his family for extended periods. That may have made it easier for Britney and Lynne to choose the gypsy life; when Britney was 10, she moved to New York with her mother to become an off-Broadway baby. She was a runner-up on Star Search the next year, and a regular on The New Mickey Mouse Club the year after that.

By 17, Britney was her family’s pillar of strength: Her record deal even saved her parents from bankruptcy. Lynne, as well as Britney’s brother, Bryan, were both on the girl’s payroll. “She was the breadwinner in her family,” says one former manager. “And when you know everyone’s living off you, you learn not to trust.” Moreover, again like most child stars, “she was never really taught how to live. Basic things: how to balance a checkbook, how things get done.”

Still, she made some very grown-up decisions, very early. Maybe the most grotesquely curious and controversial event of her early career was her rumored choice, at age 17, to undergo surgical breast enhancement. Speculation about the procedure triggered criticism and raised the question of whether she would actually make such an extreme, and extremely sexualizing, choice—or whether Britney Spears was being created as a sexual girl-golem by dirty old record execs. A publicist who knew her says the call was Britney’s and that the singer gave a startlingly simple explanation for her surgery at the time: “‘I work like a woman, everyone treats me like a woman, but I look like a girl.’”

“If that’s what she wanted, who would have told her no?” asks Eric Foster White, who produced or cowrote six songs on her first album, … Baby One More Time. It sold 20 million copies worldwide, and Jive Records released the follow-up, Oops! … I Did It Again, the next year. “You have to understand that there’s nobody in the equation who stood to benefit by giving it to her straight,” White says.

On her first concert tour, Britney cultivated little rituals of escape. She liked to read (The Celestine Prophecy was a favorite) and write in her prayer journal. Her other escape was a secret romance with Justin Timberlake, with whom she’d had a special connection since their Mickey Mouse Club days. Then it became public, and its eventual end only aggravated the snowballing confusion of her public and private lives. In 2002, she was devastated by their breakup—even though, he said, it was her infidelity with choreographer Wade Robson that ended their relationship. On a radio program, Timberlake talked about their sex life, and her image as a virgin was ruined. The breakup, according to those closest to Spears, began her personal collapse. “Ever since then,” says one friend, “she’s been mad at the world.”

Her rebound got ugly: reported cocaine use, flings with bad boys Fred Durst and Colin Farrell, and snubbing fans at premieres for her movie debut, Crossroads. (Despite the film’s critical failure, Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer wanted to meet with her; but Britney flaked on their breakfast appointment.)

That year, she also parted ways with her co-manager, teen-pop heavyweight Johnny Wright, whose creative vision had helped shape her image (her other longtime manager Larry Rudolph, a lawyer, was the deal-maker and helped with her personal life and finances). And then she crossed another fateful line, French-kissing Madonna at the 2003 VMAs. “I remember watching that,” says one of her former handlers, “and thinking, All it is now is sensationalism. Tweens and moms were appalled. The shock value wasn’t worth it.”

4.THE BRIDE
“Funny as shit,” says a former Jive executive, when asked what he thought of Spears’s decision, one night in Las Vegas in 2004, to marry a childhood friend from Kentwood, Jason Alexander. “She doesn’t connect the dots sometimes,” he explains. “Everyone thinks you only do those things when you’re drunk or you’re high. Britney can do things like that stone-cold sober.” The wedding was annulled 55 hours later, and Alexander gave a tabloid a sexually explicit account of their brief marriage.

Later that year, when Spears had a one-night stand with an LFO backup dancer named Kevin Federline (nicknamed Meat Pole for his manhood), “it turned into a three-day stand at the Beverly Hills Hotel,” according to a Federline family friend. “All they did was have sex and order room service.” Afterward, “he called his brother Chris, like, ‘You’re not going to believe whose back I broke,’” and, the friend says, bragged that they hadn’t used condoms.

Britney invited Kevin to join her on a promotional tour in England, and though he didn’t have a passport, one was quickly procured. On the flight home, they got engaged, and then she bought herself a $50,000 engagement ring.

Britney’s romance with Kevin also intensified her affair with the paparazzi. Two fantasies of love—with a man, and with the public—joined when she took Kevin to the beach one afternoon to show off her new boyfriend to the world. The number of photographers trailing Britney doubled after Kevin came on the scene, and the value of a premium shot of her climbed 500 percent.

She was rich and famous. He was, as she put it, “normal.” She claimed to love this about him, but the discrepancy caused trouble from the start. Britney’s solution? Equalize their status by starring together in a reality show. Against all advice, Britney insisted, and the result, UPN’s Britney & Kevin: Chaotic, ran for five episodes.

“I knew it was bad for her,” says a source who was involved in the deal. “But I thought, Fuck it. I’ll make a lot of dough.”

“Chaotic destroyed the image that we had worked so carefully to create,” says one of her advisers at the time, who opposed the project. “She thought that if she showed the world everything, everyone would love her for it. What it did, instead, was make her look like white trash—and that is not what she is. She’s better than that. It created an appetite for this wild and crazy girl and created this spiral where nothing can satisfy that appetite.”

Chaotic, a withering mash of fart jokes, bull sessions and deadening sexual compulsiveness, was mostly filmed by Britney and Kevin with handheld cameras. It is porn without skin, reeking with the unacknowledged despair of people who have become things, even to themselves.

In a hotel room, Kevin asks, “How do you feel?”

Britney: “Great.”

Kevin: “Why do you feel great?”

Britney: “The sex is great.”

Kevin: “What else is great? Is it just the sex?”

Cut to an interview where Britney explains how she overcomes obstacles to intimacy with Kevin: “I’m not really good with just really being intimate one-on-one, and I think it helped me to have a camera there, instead of it just being me and him.”

5.THE MOMMY
The couple had two children (Sean Preston, now 2, and Jayden James, 1; Federline has two previous children, with actress Shar Jackson). “She had this fantasy of being a wife and mother, so everything happened fast,” says one former handler, unsurprised that Britney and Kevin’s relationship quickly circled the drain. Kevin told friends of wild mood swings and fights, calling her “bi-polar”—eruptions sometimes triggered by the hours she spent jealously scouring the list of female “friends” on his MySpace page. Though sources close to the couple say Kevin was philandering and a bit of a freeloader, his experience with fatherhood also made him the more domestic spouse. “He was Mr. Mom,” changing diapers and rising early to cook breakfast, says a friend.

California child-welfare officials visited the couple’s home after receiving reports of negligence, supported by paparazzi photographs and video. To set the record straight, Britney sat for a tearful Dateline NBC interview with Matt Lauer. She did her own hair and makeup, wore a cheap outfit, chewed gum throughout the conversation and talked about how much she enjoys housekeeping. She was trying to show the world she was a regular girl and that her recent maternal mishaps—nearly dropping Sean outside a hotel, letting him ride in her lap instead of strapped in a car seat—had been unfairly magnified by relentless public scrutiny. But the interview, a PR disaster, only made her look more disconnected from reality.

That fall, Britney called former manager Larry Rudolph to New York for a meeting. (The two had parted ways around the time of Chaotic.) When he showed up, she announced she was divorcing Federline and wanted to rehire Rudolph and get back to work. Despite her best intentions, though, her discipline had waned, and as Thanksgiving approached, she went on a hedonistic, labia-flashing tear through Hollywood clubland with her new buddy Paris Hilton.

Last Valentine’s Day, an inner circle of family and friends gathered to persuade Britney to seek help for substance abuse, and she flew with Rudolph to a rehab facility in Antigua. The next day she checked out, returned to L.A., shaved her head, attacked a pap’s car with an umbrella and spent five days going wild before voluntarily checking into Promises rehab center in Malibu. She stayed for only 30 days of the center’s standard 45-day program and returned home in March.

She ended her rehabilitation early “because that would have required her to admit, in front of the world, that she had problems. That was the one thing she couldn’t do,” says one of Britney’s closest companions during this time, sounding eaten by frustration. “Is there anyone on the planet, except for Britney Spears, who cannot see that Britney has a problem? After that, she pushed her family, literally everyone, away.”

So, Britney was willing to let go of every intimate relationship she had, to avoid admitting to the abstract mass of “the public” that her life was a mess—even though everyone knew that her life was a mess?

“That would not be an unreasonable reading of the situation.”

A June divorce ruling in accordance with Britney and Kevin’s prenuptial agreement stipulated joint custody of the children. Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, challenged the financial settlement, which was in accordance with the prenup: a lump sum rumored to be about $1 million. In September, Britney agreed to give Kevin an extra $20,000 per month for the rest of his life.

On the same day Britney made this concession, Kaplan filed a challenge to the custody agreement. The court quickly gathered testimony of Britney’s odd behavior, ranging from classic Stupid Celebrity Shit (driving without a valid license) to hair-raisingly Freudian stories from a former bodyguard of “nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children, post-rehab.” Within weeks, L.A. County Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon temporarily suspended Britney’s physical custody of the children. He ordered her to undergo random drug testing, mandated parenting classes for the couple, forbade them to drink alcohol within 12 hours of assuming physical custody of the kids and gave a pathetically rudimentary list of guidelines about how to behave with their boys: “Each party is restrained from making derogatory remarks about the other party and the other party’s family or significant other, either directly or indirectly, to the minor children, and from allowing anyone else to do so.”

Here, the relationship between the California court and the kangaroo court of online gossip took a bizarre twist. The week before Commissioner Gordon suspended Britney’s custody rights, he had decreed that the children “shall be transferred in a properly insured and registered vehicle, which shall be driven only by a properly insured driver who has a current and valid driver’s license.” Two days later, TMZ.com posted a photo of Britney, who had still not gotten a license, driving her children in Malibu.

The next day, Federline’s lawyer convinced the judge to suspend custody rights.

This was not, by far, Spears’s only violation of the court orders. She had blown off drug testing and parenting classes and had been seen drinking alcohol within 12 hours before picking up the boys. (TMZ posted video of her in a club that night.) But from this point on, the infinite feedback loop between her bad behavior and its coverage online was sealed. TMZ and X17online.com videos of Britney, taken in the months following her custody suspension, show her running stop signs and rolling over a pap’s foot. She bumps another pap with her car, wincing, “sorry, sorry, sorry” in a baby voice; then, when she cannot figure out how to exit a parking garage, looks pleadingly to the paps and they assist her. They pump her gas, guide her through everyday confusion at a fast-food drive-through window and often pick up her tab. Not without reason, she seems to think there’s no need to settle her own accounts. She plays the role that they expect her to play. In a Van Nuys filling station, she picks up a $1.39 Bic lighter and walks away with it, looking into the video cameras and saying, “I stole something! Oh, I’m bad. Ohhh!”

Of all the paparazzi agencies, X17 has emerged during the past year as the one with the closest relationship with Britney. Brandy Navarre, who owns X17 with her husband, François, tells a story of the day Britney went to a tanning salon and told her security man, “‘Get X17 for me.’ She goes into a private booth and she starts giving us this message she wants to put out to her fans. She affected this Valley-girl voice, and she basically told us that it was her mother and Larry Rudolph who forced her into rehab, but that she was never on drugs or alcohol. She knew we’d put it on the Web site unedited.”

Navarre also brags that X17 scored the first interview with Sam Lutfi: “We were the first people to come out with his name and who he was.” Navarre first received tips from “funny pseudonyms,” and then, “out of the blue,” she says. “Sam started telling me things … that the TMZs and the Us Weeklys of the world die for.” Where Britney is concerned, Lutfi became X17’s Deep Throat.

6.THE WINGMAN
When Sam Lutfi met britney last year, they were both going through transitions. She had begun distancing herself from all of her old intimates; he had been barred by a restraining order from contacting Danny Haines, a 29-year-old man from Orange County who had been his close friend for two years.

There are at least two other outstanding restraining orders against Lutfi. Documents for both cases demonstrate his violent temper. This third case, however, raises deeper and more chilling questions about Lutfi’s character, and about his relationship with Britney.

Danny Haines, who spoke exclusively with Blender, met Sam Lutfi on MySpace in the fall of 2005. Haines was at a low ebb when they met, he says. The bare outlines of his situation bear some resemblance to Britney’s: His professional life was adrift, his relationships with old friends and family were in disrepair and he had some secrets that he didn’t want anyone to know.

Lutfi was fun to be with. He claimed to be friends with celebrities from Kate Beckinsale to Roseanne Barr, and he seemed to know every nightclub bouncer in L.A. With Lutfi, Haines says, “it seemed like you could break all the rules.”

Their fun was fueled by long, confessional conversations in which Haines described his unsatisfying, distant relationships with his family. Lutfi’s account of his own background—he grew up in a tight-knit family in Woodland Hills, California, where his mother reportedly owns several gas stations—sounded ideal by comparison.

Haines says Lutfi wanted to know everything about him—every secret, every problem—and Haines complied. It seemed that nothing shocked Lutfi, even when Haines, who is straight, told him about some X-rated, homoerotic modeling he had done for a photographer he’d met online.

Haines remembers the night when Lutfi offered to straighten out his life: “He said, ‘I can help you. I can help your parents. But you need to be honest with me. If you’re lying to me about anything, I’ll know.’”

To Haines’s fractured ego, Lutfi’s social skills and emotional intelligence were magnetic. He encouraged Haines to “stand up for myself” and at the same time worked to become indispensable to him. Lutfi ingratiated himself with Haines’s family, acting as a go-between and informal counselor.

Haines says their relationship was not romantic or sexual but that Lutfi was more jealous than a lover. He could be supportive one day and vicious the next, leaving voicemails tracing extremes from “You’re a worthless motherfucker” to “I love you, man. I love you to death.” He says that although Lutfi also made some feckless gestures toward an old-fashioned con job—Haines claims Lutfi borrowed about $18,000 that he did not pay back, though Lutfi’s mother finally settled much of the debt—Lutfi reserved most of his energy for emotional blackmail and extortion. “Everybody hates you,” he wrote to Haines, suggesting that Haines should just kill himself: “Seriously, sleeping pills, LOTS of them … ” (Lutfi declined to comment for this story.)

When Haines finally cut the cord, Lutfi humiliated him. He e-mailed naked photographs of Haines to his family, friends, colleagues and employer. Then he texted and called incessantly, telling Haines he hoped his sister would be “raped to death,” according to the restraining order. In an e-mail about Haines’s mother (“that Mormon bitch”), Lufti wrote, “I hope Satan devours her flesh and bones,” and said he looked forward to the day when he would “piss on [her] burial.”

Such communications moved Haines to seek the restraining order, which also protects his mother from being contacted by Lutfi. A few months later, Haines says that Lutfi called his brother-in-law to say he’d met a celebrity whom he wanted to set Haines up with. Later, Haines saw photographs of Lutfi with Spears in the tabloids. In those pictures, Lutfi was wearing a bodybuilding shirt and baseball cap that he had taken from Haines.

Haines, whose relationship with Lutfi was the subject of a few obscure blog comments after Lutfi’s other restraining orders were reported in December, says that he subsequently received an e-mail from Lutfi’s sister’s address, which he read as a warning: “One of your friends is writing to some magazines about your history with my brother … I don’t think that’s wise for him to do.” The warning came with what sounded like a threat: “Those pictures and your history isn’t so positive either and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that to be public as well.”

Informed of the details of Haines’s relationship with Lutfi, Jamie and Lynne Spears, who declined to discuss Lutfi on the record, both expressed grave concern to Blender about his ongoing involvement in their daughter’s life and have encouraged Haines to go public with the story.

“If Sam’s not doing anything wrong with Britney, if he’s not worried about being exposed,” Haines asks, “why would his sister be saying, Don’t talk about my brother and his past?”

7.THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Britney showed at least a glimmer of sanity when, on Saturday, January 5, she reportedly ignored “Dr. Phil” McGraw, the TV therapist who surprised her at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, then spoke about the visit to Entertainment Tonight. But even he would have been an improvement on Lutfi, who, Haines says, described himself as an “unlicensed counselor” in the court hearing that led to the restraining order.

The symbiosis between stars and sleazebags is as old as show business. The story rarely has a happy ending (see Anna Nicole Smith), and talent alone saves no one (see Judy Garland). Lutfi’s personal history adds a frightening element to the unsavory task of forecasting Britney’s fate.

For countless observers, Britney’s latest unraveling brought that impulse to the surface. A Detroit radio station announced, then canceled, a “Britney Suicide-Watch” contest, inviting listeners to name the date for a $1,000 prize. Just shy of grave-dancing, Perez Hilton g67britneySpears_article09.jpgloated that his Web site received an all-time high of more than 10 million hits on the day the star was hospitalized: “Thanks, Britney.”

Others voice what seem to be kinder thoughts. Just a few weeks before the January meltdown, Bonnie Fuller, chief editorial director of American Media Inc., which publishes Star magazine, told Blender that “everybody wants her to get better.” Then, asked to name her best-selling Spears cover story, Fuller answered, “BRITNEY HITS ROCK BOTTOM was a big one,” seemingly without irony.

“I think she’s really lost most of her fans’ sympathy,” Fuller continued. “She’s done the ultimate betrayal to her fans, by appearing to be a bad mother. That’s something that even the most steadfast fan has a problem with. You always want to think that your idols are essentially good. They may be misunderstood or misguided, may have fallen victim to addictions that they can’t control, but they’re basically good people.”

Britney became the tabloids’ wet dream by making herself the very image of a bad person. More than that: the worst person. There is, it seems, no limit to the number of things you can hate her for. She’s irresponsible, lazy, selfish, arrogant, stupid, tacky, rich and so depraved as to look almost subhuman. (Paris Hilton nicknamed her “the animal.”) She does not take care of herself, and still she could have sex with almost anyone she wants. She revels in her own violation and invites you to the orgy: “I can’t control myself/They want more/Well, I’ll give ’em more … ” she sings on Blackout.

After Britney’s catatonic VMAs performance of “Gimme More,” a short video called “Leave Britney Alone!” became a monster hit on YouTube. Chris Crocker, an androgynous actor from Tennessee, appeared on the verge of nervous breakdown, a lone voice crying out in her defense. It was a sequel to a video he had posted the previous week, “Back up, Britney haters!”: “I don’t just like Britney when she’s glitzy … I like Britney when she looks homeless. I like Britney when her hair extensions, her tracks are showing. I like Britney when her cootch is showing … Because I love BRIT. NEY. OK? Not the persona. The person. I love Britney for real reasons. I love Britney for Britney.”

Crocker, naturally, parlayed his YouTube fame into a deal for a reality show. There is no way of knowing how much of his screed was staged and how much was sincere. Yet the sentiment, like all fans’ feelings about celebrities, requires one fundamental correction: Chris Crocker can’t love the real Britney, because he does not know the real Britney.

Yet even the people who do know the real Britney don’t know her anymore. Her former manager Johnny Wright says, “I’m not pointing fingers, but I can’t believe that she woke up one morning and said, ‘I don’t want my family, or anyone else I knew, to be in touch with me anymore.’

“People say she needs to go to rehab. I think she just needs a friend—somebody not caught up in Hollywood, not looking for a paycheck. Somebody she trusts has to step up and break it down for her.”

When Wright worked with her, Britney had a personal assistant named Felicia Culotta. “She was her friend first, and she worked for peanuts. She had no other agenda than Britney’s well-being,” Wright says.

Recently he told her, “‘Felicia, you need to reach out to her.’”

Culotta’s answer was a measure of Britney’s isolation, and a sign of her peril. She said, “‘Johnny, they won’t let me in.’”

THE STARBLOGGER — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 21:18:53 GMT

Star Magazine claims that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins. She drank the same water everyone else is drinking. A source told the magazine that she just found out this past week. If this is true it will bring the Brangelina clan to 6 kids total!

Angelina has cancelled her trip to Europe. A source said, "Brad and Angelina are absolutely ecstatic." A second source said they are planning to adopt even more kids.

I'm telling you! These two are building their own army to take over the world. Screw Scientology, this is the real cult threat.

I'm surprised she's not making Brad carry the babies this time.

Sigh, remember the days when it was just Maddox? It seems like it was only a few years ago. Shit, it was only a few years ago! This bitch works fight. She'll have an army of 30 in 5 more years.

Katie Holmes Secret Pregancy - With Ex-Boyfriend

THE STARBLOGGER — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:33:42 GMT

The latest national enquirer featuring katie holmes front & center with a supposed 'secret' pregnancy...with her ex-boyfriend! (who i'm assuming must be chris klein) lately it has all been about tom cruise and his crazy secrets coming out (thanks to andrew morton's explosive new unauthorized biography) so maybe it's time to reveal some of katie's secrets! although a secret pregnancy does seem a little far fetched - i'm more inclined to believe there are lies about little suri that could destroy their marriage (gosh i hope it's not anything like rosemary's baby - could you imagine katie found out she gave birth to l. ron hubbard's baby? that would be insane!)

New couple alert? Paris Hilton and Jared Leto were spotted at the Sundance Film Festival getting down and dirty !

New couple alert?

Paris Hilton and Jared Leto were spotted at the Sundance Film Festival getting down and dirty with each other, in public no less!

I’m guessing a big NO — on the ‘new couple‘ theory, because I think Paris is ‘this friendly‘ with all of her male friends. She has plenty, you know.

A Anti- Scintology GRoup called Anonymous has started its campaign (Project_Chanology) to put an end to Tom Cruise Church!

My lights are turned off, blinds are closed and I am changing my phone number as soon as I finish this post. There is some drama going on that Tom Cruise isn’t going to be too happy about. A new anti-Scientology group called Anonymous has started its campaign (Project_Chanology) to put an end to Tommy’s church. The videos that are in this post should be watched with caution. The second one is a bit long, but devastating. Is Scientology really hurting anyone? Apparently so, as the video is crediting several murders to the Church. Who knew?

Quite a mission isn’t it? Guess it isn’t all about the thetans after all.

Visit Gawker for more info. They have great coverage on this.

Owen Wilson Caught Buying A Bong!!!!

THE STARBLOGGER — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:59:17 GMT

Owen Wilson was caught bong shopping and people are afraid he has relapsed. Give me a break. A source told Life & Style, "Owen spent 20 minutes in the Green House Smoke Shop browsing the pipes and bongs. He bought one of the biggest bongs and spent almost $300 on it. He was worried that someone might have seen him coming out…He hid behind a FedEx truck for 30 seconds before darting to his car!"

Maybe it was a gift? Maybe he has sinus problems and he uses it to clear them up.

Here's Owen swimming in the cold, cold Pacific ocean yesterday in Malibu.
