Daughter Lourdes Makes Madonna and Guy Ritchie Reconcile

After Madonna announced her divorce from British director Guy Ritchie last year, putting an end to an eight-year marriage, speculation ran rampant as to the reasons behind such a decision. One of the most circulated theory was that she was too controlling, which made things impossible at home. Now, it seems that the ...

Britney Spears Turns Designer

It feels very strange to actually be writing this, but Britney Spears' newfound "normal" lifestyle really seems to be working for the popwreck. Ever since her dad Jamie took over, there have been no more bizarre, aimless drives around L.A., pink wigs and visits to fast-food restaurants or gas station public bath...

I Guess It IS Over for Her

Well, then, what can I say - the Britney circus really had a great day yesterday, and while Brit Brit is probably sleeping peacefully now, knowing she has the kids off her back for at least another month, the rest of us mere mortals are left contemplating the disaster and wondering exactly when will anyone decide to ...

Pre-Britney Screw-Up Predictions

Today is a big day on the Britney front, and we're all wondering whether by the end of the day Brit Brit will still hold a chance (however remote) of ever getting near her kids, or if we'll witness yet another public meltdown, like the one that followed Britney's latest run-in with the law. And yes, fo...

Britney Naked, Yells to the Cops "I'm F***ing Hot"

I know we've all been hearing various bits and pieces about the night Britney decided to hold her own son hostage - and now that a more official version of what happened is available, we can very well see that many of the wild speculations about that fateful night were inaccurate to say the least. But I do have ...

Brit Brit Needs to Learn to Pay Attention to Her Children

I have a feeling we've had a little less Britney drama than usual over the past days. Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining, by any means, no - but I simply wanted to make a point that it's nice to report on Brit's comings and goings without having to worry that the pop wreck will do 10 cr...

Brit Brit Wants More. Give Her More!

The fact is, I'm officially confused. Really - what's going on inside Brit's head right now? It must be the biggest confrontation ever since World War II ended. On the one hand, I'm sure that she was not very much upset to lose her boys and know they are safely with K-Fed for a while. Why should s...

Britney Spears - Not On Drugs or Alcohol for a Whole Weekend!

This is just unbelievable - out of this world - too good to be true - amazing...should we dare trust it? Should we dare get our hopes up again? Well, what the hell...but better have a stash of alcohol at hand in case it turns out to be just as big a hoax as every other good Britney news over the past...well, years. T...

Britney Spears Is the Ultimate Moron

We've all known for a very long time that Britney is definitely not the sharpest crayon in the box, if you know what I mean. But now, after she infamously lost custody of her two boys and seemed perfectly happy about it two days ago, certain facts have come to light that prove - predictably - that it would have ...

Britney's TO DO List The Day She Lost Her Kids

Let's play a little game. No, I'm not playing Jigsaw and this is not a bad remake of the "Saw" movies, although it is grotesque, absurd and it does have a horror side to it. But just for a second, let's all pretend to be Brit Brit, who - as I'm sure you have heard and if not you can get up to spee...

BRITNEY UPDATE: Why Did Brit Lose Custody?

That's definitely the million dollar question these days. No, actually that was meant to be entirely metaphorical, seeing how even a five-year-old kid who can read and has a computer or a TV at home can probably come up with a pretty comprehensive list of why the world's favorite popwreck has finally lost h...

Britney Doesn't Know How to Care for Her Kids

Us magazine takes the Britney craze up a notch - and again, I find my power of imagination defeated by reality in the neverending Popwreck saga. This time, it's no more secret lovers, midnight romps in the pool with college students or drugs and alcohol, but an account on how the Britney madness is affecting her...

Brit Keeps Shared Custody - But Will She Stick to the Deal?

Britney definitely has one big lucky star out there - or by the looks of it, a whole constellation. Either that, or a whole family of fairy godmothers is working round the clock to keep the lucky breaks happening for the famous popwreck. And it seems to be working. Picture this: Britney gets to keep her kids for the ...

$2.000.000 - K-Fed's Pay Off?

Remember the news about Brit Brit's meeting with ex-hubby K-Fed last week? I'm talking about the one for which Britney actually wore a longs dress, didn't flash her vagina and was not drunk. The meeting was, as we've already told you, Britney's idea and took place in the Los Angeles offices o...

Has Britney Finally Called It a Day?

We sure seem to have a lot to say about Brit these days. But it's not our fault her life goes on under such intense scrutiny, or that things around her seem to spin out of control sometimes.

Britney Betrayed

The battle between K-fed and Britney is getting nastier. Not that we weren't expecting it, but it looks like nowadays, "speed" is the word, and Federline sure moves quickly.

Eddie Murphy and Melanie Brown from the Spice Girls have been involved for a couple of months, from July to December last year.

K-Fed Delivers the Deadly Blow

Do you remember a time when all we could do was stand by and watch as Kevin Federline, rapper/superstar/actor extraordinaire, slowly took over our lives?

Scary Spice Secretly Married. Not with Eddie!

You see? When celebrities really want to keep a secret, they can. The only conditions they must fulfill to keep their private lives away from the ever prying eyes of the media are: number one, to want it really bad; and, number two, to make sure that whoever they confide in (family members and friends included) are t...

Spears-Federline Divorce Officially Final!

Long gone are the days when Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were the bad kids on the block, outshining each other with their trashiness, sticking out their tongues at paps and going around town grabbing each other's groins.

The Britney Trainwreck Leaves No Survivors

For the past year, Britney has been doing nothing else but sabotaging her own career, but I guess there's practically no need for me to tell you that, since you've probably put two and two together by now.
