Sassy Smith — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:31:00 GMT

Tattooed daddy, Travis Barker was out and about with his two kids - Landon Asher and Alabama Luella - on Monday in Malibu. Fierceness all around - apples don't fall far from the tree!

More pics after the jump!

His kids (with ex-wife Shanna Moakler) are adorable! Travis is currently taking legal action against Rockstar Energy Drinks as they used his image without his consent.

Soulja Boy Cranking Out Soulja Baby?

Whit Honea — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:59:00 GMT

Teenage hip-hop phenom Soulja Boy, aka DeAndre Cortez Way sure knows how to crank it.

The star has allegedly impregnated a 19-year-old woman who lives in Atlanta. The woman claims that she and Soulja Boy were dating for much of 2007, but that he is refusing to speak to her now that she is pregnant:

"I'm not just some groupie looking for a payday, me [Soulja Boy] and have history.

"But ever since I told him that I [am/might be] pregnant, he stopped returning my calls and texts... If I don't hear from him soon, I'm going to have to get a lawyer."

Yes, lawyers are also not interested in a payday (unless it's the peanut bar, lawyers love candied peanuts).

In case you still don't know how to crank it:

Britney Loses Visitation Rights

Karen — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 17:03:00 GMT

What an idiot. Yesterday K-Fart's lawyer Mark Kaplan called an emergency hearing and it was decided that Brit-Twit will not see her children until further notice, for failing to comply with judge's orders. We're not sure at this time which of the orders she messed up, but we'll bring you details once we know.

The next hearing is October 26th.

Britney Hopes a Healer Will Cleanse Her Soul, Famecrawler Recommends Gloves for Shaman

Karen — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:04:00 GMT

The troubled pop star, after losing custody of her kids, has decided to arrange a meeting with a head shaman near a reservation at the base of the Grand Canyon.

A source said: "The head shaman has agreed to perform the ritual on Britney, which is a great honour.

"The shaman will wave sage over her head and daub her temples with a magical potion. And the learned Indians will chant mantra and perform a special dance around her."

Britney decided on this method of cleansing after hearing Owen Wilson doing the same after his attempted suicide.

I can just see this going down. Either Britney will be surprised that you can't text a shaman to cancel or postpone, and once she finally does arrive, the paparazzi will be all over this like a pack of wolves. I can't imagine that will be okay with a shaman. The healing will be a big joke to Britney, and then she'll ask the shaman to be a back-up dancer, because clearly, no one else wants the job.

Britney's Biggest Fan Doesn't Know Who J-Lo Is

Karen — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 19:31:00 GMT

It must have been a slow night in Paparazzi Land last night since the paps ended up asking Chris "Leave Britney Alone!" Crocker what he thought of J-Lo being pregnant.

If that weren't enough, they asked the television star wannabe his/her advice for Britney Spears. Surprisingly, he/she didn't break down ~ it was pretty sage advice.

Britney Spears Threatens to Commit Suicide

Karen — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 02:57:00 GMT

Britney's recent win of weekly overnight visits with her beautiful babies isn't enough to keep the pop-star happy. It's been reported that Britney threatened suicide in a phone call to Kevin Federline:

"I'm going to drive off the cliff! It's going to be your fault that I killed myself," she then sped down Mulholland Drive that runs along a steep road.

She is getting a ton of attention from the paparazzi, on a daily basis, but I guess she needs her ex-husband to pay attention too. Of course she's only digging her hole deeper and deeper if this is true. I really wish she would get some professional help.

Britney Spears Neglects More Little People

Karen — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 20:03:00 GMT

Suck-up-to-the-stars OK! Magazine is reporting that Britney Spears cancelled auditions yet again, for back-up dancers for her upcoming TOUR. Tour? What the hell?

Spears had scheduled dancers auditions from 9 to 5 yesterday, but text messaged at 11:00 to say she wasn't coming. Some of the dancers appeared dejected after receiving the news. When Usmagazine.com asked one of the 37 auditioners whether she was disappointed, she replied, "Whatever."

OK! Magazine says the 25 year-old trainwreck is claiming the flu, but she was later blinded by the paparazzi while coming out of a tanning salon. Yes that's what I do when I'm spewing chunks and recovering: head to the tanning salon. Lying much?

Apparently, the flashbulbs were so overwhelming, she has to be escorted back to her car, at which time her Starbucks radar went off and she pulled an entire franchise out of her hideous mega-purse and whipped up a 5000 calorie Frappacino.

So this TOUR. Hmmm. Think she's serious? I mean, doesn't she have to be in court every other week to prove she's a superstar parent? If she's canceling auditions like that, who's to say she won't cancel shows, say, an hour after they are supposed to start?

An aside: She is STILL wearing those fugly brown boots. Any bets on what they smell like?

12 Reasons Not To Buy Britney's Album, The Blackout

Karen — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 17:31:00 GMT

The Blackout indeed. I couldn't think of a more fitting title for this album, except maybe, The Trainwreck. I wonder if Britney's "people" helped her name it and are all snickering behind her back.

People.com has the exclusive on the cover art for Britney's new album and it isn't what Fox News was reporting, which I thought looked like an old picture anyway. Here's the cover:

The song list is out too, (not this, but some are there) but only 12 songs? Seems like Underachiever Spears is at it again.

Some of the song titles really interested us here at FC:

1. Gimme More - More what Babygirl, Cheetos?

2. Piece of Me - Honey, we've seen MORE than enough of you!

3. Radar - That's what your car gives off every time you go anywhere - directly to the paparazzi.

4. Break The Ice - Nice meth reference honey. Think we don't speculate on how you dropped all that weight?

5. Heaven On Earth - Hyde? Paris Hilton's Vagina? J.R. Rotem's Armpit? Oh wait, Taco Bell!

6. Get Naked (I Got A Plan) - You got a plan? I bet it doesn't include panties, sugarpants.

7. Freakshow - This one is about K-Fart, right? Projecting much, Darlin'?

8. Toy Soldier - You realize Eminem wrote this song already, right sweetie?

9. Hot As Ice - Yet another meth reference? We GET it honey, you're not fat anymore.

10.Ooh Ooh Baby - The visual from this title makes me want to scrub vigorously

11.Perfect Lover - See #10

12. Why Should I Be Sad - Because your life is in the toilet and clearly, no one has told you yet.

The album is set to release early on October 30th, because of several leaks to the internet. There's also talk of the young mother going on tour. I'd type more but I've rolled my eyes so many times over Britney that they are permanently fixated to my frontal lobe.

Britney Really IS a Moron, or TMZ Makes Up Stories

Karen — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 01:19:00 GMT

According to x17online, Britney left the courthouse extremely happy (video) with the judgment that she could have her kids for one overnight a week. The thing is, according to TMZ, (who reported she left the courthouse visibly upset contrary to photos) she was extremely disrespectful to the judge.

TMZ is reporting that she went back and forth with the judge, interrupting him and being really sarcastic. They start 3 paragraphs with "We're told..." but it doesn't add up. After reading x17online and TMZ for some time, I gotta say the latter is great at being an online rag mag.

While Britney certainly has a lot to learn, I have a real problem with TMZ making up a bunch of bullshit just to get people to read. Not cool.

Judge to Britney and Kevin's Lawyers: Hug It Out, Britney Has Issues?

Karen — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 19:02:00 GMT

We've been reporting all morning about Britney's requested emergency court hearing so she could have her kid overnight, and the fact that she slept in and missed it. The orders have come down from the judge and he wants the two lawyers to work it out, after rejecting the petition from Britney's camp.

There has been some talk of Brit's Mom Lynne being appointed as the supervisor during these supervised visits, especially since Britney has "privacy issues."

I call bullshit, Nipple Chick. Don't make me pull out panty pictures and call up Tony "I saw Britney naked" Baretto.

Video: Britney's Reason For Missing Court Appearance

Karen — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 18:01:00 GMT

X17online is reporting that they followed Britney to Target last night where she filled a prescription for sleeping pills. Apparently she seemed frustrated with the paparazzi, went in, and then came out all smiles. I guess Cheetos were on sale or something, y'all.

So Britney returned home, popped a pill and slept in this morning. K-Fart's lawyer had this to say, even before Britney failed to show up for the court appearance she requested:

"The fact that a party, one week after a full court hearing, attempts to change the orders of the court, in the absence of an emergency or without any new facts, suggests a continued lack of respect and understanding for what an order of the court actually means. "

I'll say. Who does she think she is?

Video: Britney Drives To Mom's Place Close to Tears, Court Today

Karen — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:06:00 GMT

Britney drove to where her mother is staying last night, and looks close to tears in the video.

She is heading back to court at 8:30 this morning to request overnights with the kids after passing several drug tests. She's hoping to show the judge how serious she is about her babies and with the addidtion (intervention?) of Mom Lynne, I can't help but wonder if Britney is actually getting her shit together.

Kevin Is Alright With Being Britney's Ex Wife

Karen — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:14:00 GMT

Once upon a time, when Kevin and Britney got together, we all said, "golddigger," and "wifebeater" because of the bling and the wifebeater undershirts that Kevin sported on a regular basis. But it seems that ex-wife Federline is claiming in Life and Style Magazine that Britney was the Ike Turner of the relationship and she hit him regularly. He also claims (Are you sitting down? Put your glass down too because I don't want your keyboard to get soaked) that the reason she hit him, is because she felt 'threatened that his talent would surpass hers.'

May I remind you of this?

It's Britney's bitch.

PETA Hounds K-Fed to Gain Custody of Britney's Dogs

Karen — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 13:03:00 GMT

PETA is sticking up for their furry friends and are worried about Britney's ability to look after her dogs, in light of her recent loss of custody with her kids.

A letter from PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk, she writes to Fed-Ex: "For the sake of your children and the animals who are at risk while in Ms. Spears' custody, we hope that you will do the right and best thing for all involved and pursue a custody order for the animals so that your sons can continue to have the company of the animals they've grown to adore."

I had no idea PETA cared that much about Alli "I'm Yer Assistant Riding Yer Coattails Y'all" Sims, or whatever her name is.

Tatum O'Neal Has Great Advice For Britney Spears

Karen — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:02:00 GMT

The Paper Moon star lost custody of her own children because of a heroin addiction, so she knows of what she speaks.

She "needs to be in recovery and get her disease of addiction together," said O'Neal, 43. "I relate to her and feel really sad for her," O'Neal told Entertainment Tonight in a interview due to air Thursday night.

Mother to three children: Kevin, Sean, and Emily. The couple divorced in 1992 and remain openly hostile toward one another. When O'Neal became a heroin addict in 1995, ex-husband John McEnroe took and kept custody of their kids.

"I did everything that she doesn't want to do," said O'Neal. "I did the drug testing ... It was very humbling, but I wanted those kids back. But I wanted those kids more than I cared about getting [back at anybody]. I wanted those kids in my life because my mother lost custody of me when I was six years old. So I relate, you know, and I feel sad."

"Not being able to see my kids is like part of me is missing," a recovering O'Neal told PEOPLE in 2002. "Part of my soul is missing."

"Hopefully she will figure [it] out," O'Neal told ET. "But it's going to be hard and she will do it publicly and that sucks."

Kevin Federline To Keep Custody, Brit Gets Supervised Visitation

Karen — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 03:03:00 GMT

Lawyers for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline met on Wednesday for another court hearing to decide the fate of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline was present in court but...

...Britney stayed at home to receive the news. Commissioner Gordon upheld his October 1st decision, giving Kevin Federline full custody until further court order.

Britney will have visitation rights, but her visits with the boys will be supervised.

The next hearing is scheduled for October 26th.

Britney Spears Is Heading Back to Rehab?

Karen — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 00:14:00 GMT

According to MSNBC, she is reportedly going back to rehab, to the same place she spent one day in back in February: Crossroads in Antigua, owned by Eric Clapton.

This news comes on the heels of Britney losing custody of her kids, and getting in serious trouble with Commissioner Gordon. We can only hope the young mother gets some serious counseling and actually responds to it this time around.

Britney Spears "Very Optimistic" About Getting Her Sons Back But Commissioner Gordon is Pissed

Karen — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:04:00 GMT

So it seems that Britney never actually failed a drug test, she neglected to have one. Uh huh.

Also, she thought she had this entire week to get a driver's license, not just until today. Uh huh.

Does that sound like a couple of lame excuses? Well kids, that's because they are.

Commissioner Gordon (I still laugh at his name - Jinkies!) ordered that Brit-Brit and Kevin abstain from using alcohol for 12 hours before having physical custody of the boys. TMZ shot video in a club well after midnight Thursday night and Britney picked up the kids on Friday.

Further to that, Britney was to get documentation signed and delivered to Kevin Federline's lawyer by Monday morning at 10 a.m. or appear in court. She failed to do either.

The judge also ordered both Kevin and Britney to obtain valid California driver's licenses. There's video from Sunday of Britney driving from a Greek restaurant with the boys, and without a license.

So today, Britney ran around checking off the laundry list of things she needs to get done, and as of tonight, has a valid driver's license.

"Scheduling conflicts and errors in communication led her to believe that her deadline was later this week rather than [Monday]," close friend Sam Lufti said. "However, once we finally realized what was going on, we completed the list of tasks. ...So everything's looking good."

Oh really Sam? Is it? Because everyone else in the world, you know, the people with brains in their heads, seem to think that things are NOT going good, not at all. In fact, Britney really needs a friend who will stop bullshitting her, saying what she wants to hear, and concentrate on helping her properly ~ like with tough love and good solid advice. Tell that twit to call me or any of my Mommy friends and we'll give her the skinny on being a good parent.

Now here's the big question: when Britney heard all these orders from the judge, did she just sit there nodding, all the while thinking of her next taco or Red Bull or manicure? Just wondering.

Do you think she really cares about those boys? Personally, I don't.

Britney Has More Patience Than I

Karen — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:02:00 GMT

This video makes me want to scream.

I had my kids 5.5 years apart, and no paparazzi, thank goodness. Jayden James is crying the entire time, which is unnerving enough. By the time Britney gets both very young baby boys strapped in and what looks like a diaper change done, she jumps in the front seat only to have to watch out for 18,534 photographers who just took 5 million pictures of her butt in pink shorts. As she grips the steering wheel she makes a face I have made countless times. The one where you're screaming inside but can't say or do anything about it.

No wonder she seems to be going bonkers. I would too.

Britney Doesn't Beat Her Kids, She Just Smacks Them

Karen — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 15:03:00 GMT

In recent court documents, there was a curious mention, despite no public mention of corporal punishment being used on the Spears-Federline boys:

“Each party is restrained from using corporal punishment with the minor children and from allowing anyone else to do so.”

K-Fed's family says the pop star had been abusive towards Kevin himself, “Sometimes she’d hit him with her fists,” a member of Kevin’s family told OK! magazine. “She threw things at him. There’s no doubt Britney has a temper.”

One of Brit's friends jumped in, “If she was cooking and Preston would reach for the burner, Brit would tap his hand and tell him, ‘Don’t touch that! It’s hot!,’

"That is a very different thing than smacking your children with a belt or ruler.” The friend also revealed to OK! that Britney is trying to make things right by hiring nannies. “She’s got a lot on her plate,” the friend added. “But to accuse her of hitting her kids is far-fetched. She would do anything for those babies and would give her own life in a heartbeat to make sure they have a good life.”

Anything? How about rehab? A parenting course? The facts remain that that courts have stepped in a ordered drug testing and parent education. If she really wanted to do something for those kids, she'd provide an environment that is stable, and far far away from the constant barrage of paparazzi.

Britney in the Bathroom: I Can't Believe I'm Posting This

Karen — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 23:03:00 GMT

At least one rumour about Britney isn't true: the one where she got a videographer to go buy her some tampons, while um, dressed like one.

A Finalpixx videographer was the lucky guy who got called into the Quizno's restroom when Britney needed an escort back to her car, where her two sons and assistant were waiting. The video is ridiculous - especially the noise from all the chairs being tossed and trampled on while the photodogs scramble to get footage.

Britney Spears Wants To Be Orange

Karen — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:03:00 GMT

Back from her Atlanta tampon run, a baggy-eyed Britney went with a friend to a tanning salon at midnight Wednesday morning.

If she wants to look like Jessica Simpson, she really needs get those dead animals off her head. I swear she's out robbing little old ladies graves for that hair. Also, I'm pretty sure I donated that shirt to Goodwill in 1993.

I am surprised as hell to see a bottle of tanner in her head at midnight though. Yay for drug testing!

Elizabeth Hasselbeck Does Crafts in the Park Without A Judge's Orders

Karen — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:04:00 GMT

Look Britney! You could be hanging out with Elizabeth Hasslebeck! In the park! Doing crafts! Like the judge said!

Oh wait, that would probably push you right over the edge. Nevermind.

Rod Stewart's Son is an Angry Brat

Karen — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 19:11:00 GMT

Sean Stewart, aspiring model and son to Rod Stewart, is about to stand trial facing the charges from last April where he threw a brick at a truck, assaulting a couple, Tobalus and Ericka Stein, outside a Hollywood party. The couple claimed to have suffered "shock, horror, fright, worry, grief, shame, embarrassment, anger and chagrin." That trial begins October 3rd.

Stewart is also involved in another legal battle with Daniel Refoua, who claims he was "attacked, assaulted, battered, punched, beat, hit, struck, tortured and imprisoned" by Stewart during an incident which took place in the Hollywood Hills in January 2006. A trial date has not been set for that incident.

What is with the overuse of the English language in these two cases? It leaves me bewildered, confused, befuddled, perplexed, puzzled, perturbed, dumbfounded and baffled.

Stewart, 27, is also the producer of Sons of Hollywood, a reality show where he describes himself as "out of control" and a "wild child." Sweetheart, I would have gone with over-privileged brat in need of anger management classes, but you are your own marketing team I suppose.

Britney Needs Some Comfort

Karen — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 16:03:00 GMT

Retail therapy with Sean Preston wasn't cutting it for the young mom, so...

...Britney took Sean's pacifier (seriously, that kids is WAY TOO OLD for a pacifier, and pacifiers are completely disgusting and unsanitary, but that's me being a judgmental mom) and was sucking on it while shopping on Robertson Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

I guess the whole swearing off men is leaving her longing for something.
