“Quincy” Sues, Madonna Saves, and Piers Wins

Many of you may not remember Jack Klugman, the star of the television series’ “The Odd Couple” and “Quincy M.E.” I used to love to watch “Quincy M.E.” growing up. During the late 70s/early 80s, “Quincy M.E.” was about as edgy a show as you could find on network television. In the show, Jack Klugman (who played Quincy) was sort of a combination between Hugh Laurie’s “House” and all three CSI teams combined. Each week, Quincy would examine a body, figure out something suspicious was going on, and then solve the crime – all within an hour! Now, at the … 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 →

Get a Piece of Britney

Why not? Everyone else is… or has… While I realize there are many of you who would rather not even see the name Britney Spears let alone have it attached to something you wear, know this: it’s helping the environment. Yes, you can help save the planet by shelling out a few bucks to own clothing items worn by the pop star during her recent guest appearance on CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother.” About a half dozen items of clothing (how many scenes does she have anyway) will be auctioned off to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council. The … Continue reading →

Throwing His Hat into the Britney Ring…Ladies and Gentlemen, Mel Gibson

That is right! Mel “I am just now recovering myself from a brush with celebrity infamy” Gibson is now playing one of his strangest roles ever – as friend to Britney Spears. What could Mad Mel and the Pop Tart have in common? I don’t know but when they were spotted having dinner together this past weekend, sources tell People magazine that this is not the first time they have met. The source says, “Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible.” Lord knows Robin has had enough … Continue reading →

Britney’s Big Buy for Her Baby Sis

She may be on a recently imposed $1,500 a week allowance, but that didn’t stop Britney Spears from dropping some serious cash to pay for her soon-to-be born niece or nephew’s new nursery. The reforming pop star reportedly spent more than $30,000 to have professional designers create an ocean-themed pad for her 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn’s unborn baby. The nursery is also the new home to a one-of-a-kind elephant Britney bought for the child who will be the first cousin to her own two boys Sean Preston and Jayden James. According to reports, big sis Brit ordered a six-foot tall … Continue reading →

Medical Employees Axed for Spears Snooping

I guess the temptation was just too much… The allure of knowing all about Britney Spears has landed more than two-dozen medical employees, including doctors in hot water. In fact, at least 25 staff members at the UCLA Medical Center are either looking for new jobs this morning or are enduring severe disciplinary actions, according to the Los Angeles Times. The newspaper is reporting that the breaches occurred during Spears most recent hospital stay. (The 26-year-old troubled pop star was involuntary hospitalized at the medical center’s psych ward for one week beginning January 31st.) According to the L.A. Times article, … Continue reading →

Britney Spears Sitcom Star?

Will the real Britney Spears please step forward? It’s no secret that the 26-year-old pop star is guest starring on an upcoming episode of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” but who would have imagined the response from her co-stars would be so, well, uh, positive? Apparently, the reforming pop wreck is actually acting… normal. But is it all an act? According to news reports, the singer arrived on the series’ set promptly at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and is expected back later today to finish shooting her scene. Show producers say Spears is portraying a receptionist in … Continue reading →

TV Star Expresses Shock About Britney Spears Appearing on Sitcom

Well, that didn’t take long. Within hours of CBS announcing that Britney Spears landed a guest role on an upcoming episode of “How I Met Your Mother” the sitcom’s star went public expressing his shock about the news. “I was shocked that Madame Spears was willing to come and do some acting,” series regular Neil Patrick Harris told TV’s “Entertainment Tonight.” Instead of revealing whether or not he would be sharing scenes with the troubled pop star the 34-year-old actor focused on Spears’ lack of acting experience. “She hasn’t acted in a while,” Harris noted before adding, “This is a … Continue reading →

Brit Scores a Small Bit on a TV Show and Gets an Allowance to Boot

Maybe she was jealous of her baby sister’s new TV role? Or, perhaps, Britney Spears has simply tired of her daily Starbucks and retail therapy routine. Either way the troubled pop star is heading back to the small screen. Ms. Meltdown just scored a guest role on CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother.” The last time the mother of two appeared on TV was in April 2006 when she played a conservative talk show host on an episode of NBC’s “Will & Grace.” Prior to that she and ex-husband Kevin Federline enjoyed a brief stint as reality TV stars on … Continue reading →

Jamie Lynn Spears Back on TV and Papa Spears Stays in Control

Coming soon to primetime… Jamie Lynn Spears… minus her growing baby bump. The pregnant “Zoey 101” star (and Brit’s little sis) will appear in an episode of the ABC comedy, “Miss Guided” on March 20th. But don’t be looking for signs of a bun in the oven. Show producers say the episode was shot in October after Spears wrapped “Zoey 101,” but prior to the teen announcing that she is expecting her first child. The sitcom, which is considered a midseason addition to ABC’s primetime lineup, stars Judy Greer playing a formerly awkward high school student who returns to her … Continue reading →
