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

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?

Gordon Ramsay Continues To Convince Me He's an Asshole

Whit Honea — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 15:48:00 GMT

Chef Gordon Ramsay admits that he's not a hands-on dad. That's unfortunate, but understandable. The guy works hard, what with the cooking and the TV and the loud, loud cursing. He doesn't have the luxury of his other famous friends like the Beckhams that just sit on a bench and plan tours, respectively, for a living. He's getting his hands dirty. Nothing wrong with that.

The part that annoys me is that instead of doing what any normal person would do and at least pretend that they wished they could spend more time with their children, he wears his absentee parent label like some sort of badge. Shouldn't time away from your kids be a negative side-effect and not something to be proud of?

He recently told Larry King that "The time I have with the family is little. But it's quality. I've never been one to be home, I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4.30 and bath and change nappies."

He goes on to say that he has often neglected his children Megan, twins Jack and Holly, and Matilda, and that he's not ashamed of it. I know, I already mentioned he isn't ashamed, but I wanted to make sure everyone caught that. Who goes on TV and says they're glad they neglect their children? Even Britney pretends to care about the kids.
