The Top Ten Most Influential Hollywood Tots

They already list the most powerful individuals in the world, so why not create one that features celebrity children? The folks at Forbes magazine are at it again with their polls and lists, but this time they are targeting the World’s Most Powerful Toddlers. Magazine editors say they wanted to comprise a Top 10 list of the most influential child under the age of five for their upcoming issue, and the results are in: Topping the list (drum roll not needed) is… none other than Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ adorable daughter Suri. The 2-year-old cutie beat out Angelina Jolie … 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

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

Britney Reunited with Sons

Score another one for Britney Spears’ dad. The man who the troubled singer has publicly called a “bully” and once said she “can’t stand to be around” has come to her rescue—yet again. This time Jamie Spears, the temporary co-executor of her estate, helped get lawyers to hammer out a deal so the trainwreck could see her two sons for the first time in nearly two months. On Saturday Britney was finally reunited (briefly) with 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James–her sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline. The last time Britney saw her boys was the night of January 3rd, … 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

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

Britney Spears Probably Won’t See Kids Until April

At least that’s what some family law experts maintain, especially after someone from the Los Angeles police department leaked details contained in the report chronicling the events that unfolded the night the derailed popwreck caused pandemonium in the City of Angels last week. According to news reports, when Spears and her ex Kevin Federline square off in court next week for yet another custody hearing, police officers, firefighters and paramedics who responded to Ms. Meltdown’s home on January 4th will testify. And let’s just say what they will be talking about will NOT help Brit one bit. TMZ.com is reporting … Continue reading

Where in the World is Britney Spears?

Well, we know she’s not at Dr. Phil’s TV studio or at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center… Actually, paparazzi not only caught up with the popwreck for the first time since she was sprung from her forced mental evaluation, they even gave her a ride home. According to various news reports, the queen of meltdowns suffered a blowout last night in the middle of a busy Los Angeles intersection. The 26-year-old singer reportedly got a flat tire while driving her white Mercedes out of a drug store parking lot. Reports say the paparazzi-hounded mother of two continued to drive with the flat … Continue reading

Britney Spears Released From Hospital—Medical Staff Rejoices

So much for that 72-hour hold… Britney Spears has been released from Cedars-Sinai hospital. According to news reports, the smoldering trainwreck (who is reportedly still smoldering) left the Los Angeles medical facility Saturday with TV shrink and FOO (Friend of Oprah) Dr. Phil McGraw in tow. (More on his involvement in this mess later.) According to TMZ.com, hospital staff couldn’t be happier the pop wreck is gone considering the “hell” she put them through during her stay.

Britney Loses Kids Again—But for How Long?

You didn’t need to know anything about child custody laws to see this coming… As of late yesterday a judge banned Britney Spears from seeing her children. The newly issued court order states that Brit’s ex-husband Kevin Federline has been “awarded sole legal custody and sole physical custody of the minor children.” Those children being 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, both of whom are reportedly safe and tucked away in their dad’s Tarzana spread while their mother enters day two of a minimum 72-hour lockdown for psychological evaluation. According to court documents, Spears’s visitation with her children is … Continue reading
