More legal woes for Britney Spears

Crying Britney SpearSuperior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon granted Kevin Federline attorney, Vincent Kaplan, an in-chambers ex-parte hearing Thursday morning that was also attended by a representative from the office of Britney Spears' attorney, Sorrel Trope 29 September 2007.

Federline filed for enhanced custody of the couple's two sons citing safety concerns in view of Britney's erratic behavior and lifestyle. Commissioner Scott Gordon is presiding over the case, on 8 Aug 2007.

The Thursday hearing is possibly linked to a new set of charges filed on September 21st by the office of Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. According to Access Hollywood.

Britney was charged with misdemeanor hit and run and causing property damage for a parking lot incident on August 6 in which she hit a parked car while pulling in but made no attempt to contact the owner of the car.

The charges filed also mention that at the time of the incident Britney did not have a valid California driver's license.

Spears was photographed behind the wheel of a car with her two sons Jayden and Sean Preston in the back seat, On Tuesday (September 25)

It is possible Britney has obtained a valid driving license since the 6 Aug 2007 parking lot incident. If not, she may well have dug herself deeper into a hole and that could well be what the ex-parte hearing is all about.

"She also had several massive bodyguards surrounding her all night.

"As she made her way around the party her entourage marched in front, holding back other guests who included John Mayer and Jon Bon Jovi and shouted, 'Get out of the way! Mariah's coming!' "

The 38-year-old singer showed off her new svelte figure in a tight purple gown at the party, which she revealed was down to a diet of bland soups and water aerobics.

Mariah said: "My secret is bleak diets, basically soups and fish prepared really blandly.

"I have a wonderful trainer whose name is Patricia, she lives in St. Barts, poor girl. People say to me, 'Only you would fly someone from St. Barts in the Caribbean to New York to work out.' We do water aerobics mostly.

"I don't feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically. I'm not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It's just not me."

Naomi Campbell's racism claims

Naomi Campbell has accused British Vogue of snubbing her because she is black, despite gracing its cover eight times.

The supermodel joined other black style icons - including Iman, Andre Leon Talley and Tracy Reese - on the panel of the Blacks in Fashion event on Friday, where she claimed the magazine has repeatedly refused to put her on their cover.

Naomi said: "I've never been on the cover of British Vogue and I've asked a million times and they've always refused me.

"They'll put the same white model for half the year, I swear like six times, but wouldn't put me on once in my own country. But I still want my British Vogue cover!"

Despite her claims, Naomi has been on the cover of British Vogue eight times since 1987 - twice with other models, once with hip-hop mogul P. Diddy and five times on her own.

The 37-year-old catwalk queen also claims she has struggled to get ahead in the fashion industry because of her ethnic origin.

She said: "The only time they care about black models is in February because it is Black History Month.

"Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington would go to big designers and say, 'If you don't pick Naomi to be in your show, then I don't want to be in it.' That's how I got Prada and Helmut Lang.

"The only reason I got the cover of French Vogue was because Yves Saint Laurent called up and told them he'd pull his ads if they didn't. So of course I got the cover."

Jessica AlbaActress Jessica Alba has revealed to a secret vice - she is fond of downing bottles of whisky. The Hollywood beauty criticizes people who collect bottles of distilled liquor for she considers it to be a waste of alcohol.

Instead, she would rather drink it. "I drink it with friends and my father. What's the point of collecting it when you are not going to enjoy it,” Contactmusic quoted Alba, as saying.

"It is such a short life that you might as well enjoy it," she added. The actress, who won the female hottie award at the Teen Choice Awards, once asserted that she has one healthy habit of drinking a lot of water.

The 26-year-old actress is best known for her roles in Dark Angel, Sin City, Fantastic Four, Into the Blue and Idle Hands.

After the split, the Oscar winning actress had panic attacks for about a month.

She said: 'Right around Christmas time I was sitting in a parking lot and I felt like I just couldn't get out of the car. I thought, okay, half of the parking lot has dealt with this. Okay, let's make it a little bigger - half of this city has dealt with this. Okay, let's make it a little bigger - half of this country, until I finally got out of the car.'

She compared the moment to a scene from her movie 'Walk the Line', for which she won an Oscar, saying: 'There's this moment in 'Walk The Line' where June Carter says, 'I was never aware of how much I was seen.'

'I was very aware of how much I was seen. It was this moment of self-discovery and loss of identity and who was stepping out of the car, you know? Who is that person?'

My boobs are sagging, Charlize says

Charlize TheronHollywood star Charlize Theron is terrified her breasts are sagging.

The 32-year-old actress believes she has turned wrinkly and developed droopy boobs since turning 30.

She said: "I'm 32 and as you get older you get wrinkles and your boobs sag. You get wisdom too, so it's not all bad. But you can't really do anything about ageing."

The South African star also revealed her body issues are putting her off motherhood.

She said: "Getting pregnant doesn't excite me, but having kids does. I know I'll be a mother one day.

"It's just that I don't really want to look like a whale!

"But I'm sure the idea of something growing inside you is pretty powerful."

Theron is not the first star to express concerns over the impact of childbirth and the pull of gravity on their breasts.

Singer-and-actress Jessica Simpson, 27, recently said: "If I have kids and my breasts end up hanging to my waist, that's when I might start to think about having something done to them. Right now, they're perky and cute!"

Theron's new film In the Valley of Elah - in which she plays a police officer - is due out later this year.

A bleary Britney kicks off MTV Awards

Britney kicks off MTV AwardsSomewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing.

An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards — but for all the wrong reasons. Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, "Gimme More," Spears looked bleary and unprepared — much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles.

She lazily walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching; and, perhaps most unforgivable given her once taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape.

Even the celebrity-studded audience seemed bewildered. 50 Cent looked at Spears with a confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless.

Some comeback.

The VMAs was hoping to reinvent itself on Sunday. After suffering poor reviews and a decline in ratings over the last few years, MTV moved the show to Las Vegas' Palms Casino, shortened the show from three hours to two, and changed the show's setup to focus more on performances than awards.


Dancing Britney SpearTo that end, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, Kanye West, Fall Out Boy and the Foo Fighters were each hosting four separate suite parties, where much of the show's performances would be held.

Timberlake's
suite was packed with revelers, alcohol and eight lingerie-clad stripper types on raised platforms. Before he accepted the Quadruple Threat of the Year award at his suite, the DJ summoned the partygoers to watch the monitor and go crazy if Timberlake won.

He did, they did, and Timberlake said: "I want to challenge MTV to play more videos!" Then he was whisked away by bodyguards and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Rihanna won Monster Single of the Year for her ubiquitous hit "Umbrella," and Beyonce and Shakira won Most Earthshattering Collaboration for "Beautiful Liar."

Other performers were appearing on the show's main stage, in front of an industry-only audience seated at tables, like at the Golden Globes.


Britney Spear in BikiniThe Palms' casino floor, already glittering with slot machines and blinking lights, was transformed into a dazzling red carpet, as the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Kid Rock, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Garner and a newly blond Nelly Furtado were among those who posed for the cameras.

And Nicole Scherzinger, making her solo debut from the Pussycat Dolls, gave a performance for the gawking fans, performing her new single with the rapper Lil' Wayne.

While Spears' performance was a showcase, others were delivered in snippets: Akon crooned a bit of his "Smack That" before an award was announced, while the cameras zoomed in on performances from Fall Out Boy and the Foo Fighters mid-performance in their suites, giving viewers the sense that they had happened upon an intimate concert.
