Balfour Remains Behind Bars and Britney’s Son Remains Hospitalized

The main suspect in the brutal murders of Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and young nephew, will remain behind bars until December, according to new reports. William Balfour, the man police are calling a “person of interest” in the slayings of 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, 29-year-old Jason Hudson and 7-year-old Julian King, could have walked out of jail a free man today, but the Illinois Prisoner Review Board denied him the chance. According to news reports, Balfour’s hearing ended this morning with a decision that there is probable cause to believe that he violated parole and should remain behind bars. Balfour … Continue reading

It’s Over! Britney and Kevin Settle

So much for seeing Britney Spears and Kevin Federline square off in court. The legal saga that has surrounded the reforming pop star and her wannabe rapper ex-husband for nearly two years is drawing to a close… for now. The former couple has reportedly reached a settlement in their prolonged and at times ugly custody battle over their two young sons. While the agreement has yet to be authorized by a judge, reports say Federline will retain sole custody of 2-year-old Preston and 1-year-old Jayden. Meanwhile, Spears who currently sees the boys three times a week (with one overnight visitation) … Continue reading

Britney and Alison Score

Finally, it’s good news for popwreck Britney Spears. The malfunctioning mother of two young sons may be on the right track after all… at least that’s how a judge sees it. The singer was just awarded overnight privileges with her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1 by a judge assigned to her custody case. The decision was announced a few hours ago and already rumors are spreading that Spears might regain all of her custody rights (the ones that were completely stripped from her following her mass meltdown in January) by the end of the summer. Sources connected to the … Continue reading

Celebrities Getting the Royal Treatment—Simon Cowell and Britney Spears

SIMON COWELL Most ousted “American Idol” contestants would be thrilled to see music mogul Simon Cowell get the royal boot from his high horse, but it doesn’t appear as though that will be happening anytime soon. In fact, the cocky Brit is actually getting the royal treatment in his homeland. According to British newspapers, Cowell has just been awarded a privilege typically reserved for members of the royal family and eminent politicians – he can now park his car wherever he wants to. The paper is reporting that the “Britain’s Got Talent” judge made a fuss about parking restrictions in … Continue reading

K-Fed–From Super Daddy to Sugar Daddy

The ladies love Kevin Federline’s big, fat… tips. And why not? Britney Spears’ ex recently rewarded a cocktail waitress with a $2,000 tip on a $365 meal tab. No word on what she did to deserve the huge bonus, but that’s fodder for another blog. This blog is all about the Benjamins and how purported pauper Federline is making like a king with his ex-wife’s money. Last week the Superior Court of California released K-Fed’s financial records detailing his spending habits between May 2007 and January 2008. The documents were collected in conjunction with the ongoing custody battle Federline is … Continue reading

Hollywood Dads—-Who Are They Kidding?

It’s been more than a year since Ryan Phillippe and his Oscar-winning actress wife Reese Witherspoon split, but only now is the actor speaking out about life post-divorce. The 33-year-old father to the couple’s two children Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4 recently told USA Today that “it’s bizarre” to see photos of his ex-wife and her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal splashed on the pages of entertainment publications. No word on how he feels seeing them together in person. Phillippe told the newspaper that he goes out of his way to avoid looking at pictures of his ex and her new … Continue reading

Oops, She Did It Again! Britney Spears Recommitted to Hospital

Same sad scene different day. It was déjà vu for Los Angeles paramedics last night as they once again returned to Casa Crazy (a.k.a. Britney Spears’ mansion). According to news reports (have you turned on your TV this morning), the popwreck was strapped on a stretcher by emergency personnel and taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center for a 72-hour psychiatric hold. An unnamed police source told reporters: “Spears was escorted by police and is on her way to get help.” We all know by now that the 26-year-old singer has been stripped of all custody involving her two young … Continue reading

Pop Culture Updates: The Grammys Go On WITH Writers and Britney Speaks to Her Kids

In a previous blog I mentioned that the striking writers guild agreed that its members would not picket next month’s Grammy Awards. Now, there’s even more good news for the awards show that honors the country’s top musicians. Yesterday Writers Guild of America directors decided to grant an interim agreement for the February 10th ceremony. This means the Grammys will escape the blow that befell this month’s Golden Globe Awards. It also means that the stars will be out in full force and fans will be treated to a complete red carpet fashion show as celebs make their way into … Continue reading

Jenna Bush Sets a Wedding Date and Britney Tries to get Pregnant-—AGAIN

It’s not easy putting together a wedding in less than four months, but I have a feeling Jenna Bush won’t have a problem pulling it off. Ah, the perks of being the first daughter. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed by the White House, published reports say the 26-year-old twin daughter of President Bush will marry her fiancé Henry Hager on May 10th in Texas. So much for a White House wedding… According to sources, Jenna Bush is planning a small wedding to be held at the president’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. By choosing the gated, 1,600-acre Prairie Chapel ranch, … Continue reading

Commish to Britney: Keep Away From Your Kids!

So much for Britney Spears’ claim in OK! magazine that she would “die” for her kids. The trainwreck didn’t even bother to show up for a court appearance that could have helped her regain custody of her two young sons. Monday afternoon a court commissioner ruled that the derailed singer still may not see her children Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. According to court documents, the boys father Kevin Federline maintains sole legal and physical custody of the kids “indefinitely.” “The word victory is not something Mr. Federline or his counsel would ascribe to this situation,” Federline’s lawyer, … Continue reading
