WELCOME TO THE SPOTLIGHT

Britney Spears debuted her "Womanizer" video on ABC Friday night, but it wasn't Britney who caught my eye. It was male model Brandon Stroughton.

You may have seen Mr. Stroughton before, because of course this gorgeous guy is an underwear model. He works with LA Models.

As for the "Womanizer" video, it reminded me a lot of "Toxic." Who can complain though? I'm just glad to see Britney is back (and she brough hottie model Brandon Stroughton with her!)

Welcome back Brit, and welcome to the spotlight Brandon!

Poor, poor, Britney Spears.

The girl is doing everything she can to get it together, and now this. Her former boyfriend/ paparazzi photographer, Adnan Ghalib, claims he has a sex tape starring Spears.

Ghalib told Heat Magazine:

"There is such a tape, but I won't discuss prices for hypothetical enquiries. Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further. I am not interested in selling out any other details about Britney."

Evidently, Heat has another "source" other than Adnan who has seen the alleged Spears sex tape and said:

"The video starts with Britney undressing. She was wearing some cheap clothes. The sex wasn't particularly kinky but Britney wears a pink wig throughout."

I don't know if I believe Adnan or not. This guy only dated Britney for a quick buck and some time in the spotlight.

What do you think? Does Adnan Ghalib really have a Britney Spears sex tape?

Britney Spears' mother, Lynne, is trying to sell a "tell-all" book about the Spears family; so she's all over the media.

Lynne was all over the "Today Show" this morning trying to sell copies of the book that exploits her daughter.

In the interview, Lynne also refers to Britney as "resilient":

I guess you have to be resilient when you're a Spears! Those folks will sell you out whether you're a mother, brother, daughter or sister!

Lynne's new book is called, "Through the Storm." In the memoir, she also talks about how Jamie Lynn told her she was a pregnant teen and how the family had no control over Britney's breakdown.

Anything to make a buck, I guess!

Despite the fact that she totally flopped last year, Britney Spears may get to perform at MTV's Video Music Awards again this year.

In case you forgot what happened last year:

"Piece of Me" was nominated the following VMA categories: video of the year, best female video and best pop video.

If Britney does get to perform, I expect that she'll do much better. I mean she isn't hopped up on Sam Lutfi's pills and going through a nervous break down again this year.

The VMA's should give Britney one more chance. We all have our crazy moments!!

Britney Spears has evidently been cast by Quentin Tarantino to play a lesbian murderer in his remaked of the 1965 cult classic "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!"

The "Pulp Fiction" director picked Spears to play dancer Varla. The movie follows three thrill-seeking strippers encountering a young couple in the desert.

"Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant. She's delighted. She thinks it could turn her career around," according to a source.

"It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She's playing the most important character."

Maybe Spears should just give up singing and take on acting. She has been much more successful in that industry since her recording career went south.

Osama "Sam" Lutfi's luck has officially run out! His fag hag, Britney Spears, doesn't want anything to do with him ever again.

"Britney has made clear to everyone that she does not want to be further harassed or contacted in any way by Osama 'Sam' Lutfi, now or at anytime in the future," Spears' attorney Samuel D. Ingham III said in a statement to The Associated Press.

Sam was Britney's right hand man, until she went tee-totally crazy. That's when the Spears family moved in and Lutfi was booted out and accused of feeding her drugs.

When Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, was put in charge as her conservator - he got a restraining order so that Sam couldn't legally contact her.

Today, that conservatorship was extended through the end of the year. Meanwhile, Jamie gets full control of Britney's finances and business decision making.

The fairy tale is over.

While neither camp has revealed any details from Tuesday's hearing, rumor has it Britney Spears can have her kids for overnight visitation again.

As we told you earlier, Laura Wasser is back as the Spears' family attorney. Lisa Hacker, Britney's parenting coach was also evidently in court to testify on her behalf.

Evidently Britney is doing so much better that the commissioner feels she is capable of caring for her kids over night.

No word yet on how soon the boys will be sleeping over with Spears, but all parties are do back in court on July 15th.

Britney Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Federline are back in court today, and it appears that Laura Wasser is back in Brit's corner.

Wassler is evidently back on the scene to push for more custody for Spears. Laura was fierce time around, but she quit the custody case when Britney started going crazy.

Commissioner Scott Gordon had a closed meeting Tuesday with Wasser and Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. The hearing itself is also closed to the media.

Fox News is reporting that Britney went in smiling but came out teary-eyed once. They say she was wearing a white shirt and white sandals. Federline was wearing the same tan suit he wears to everything else.

When all was said and done, there was a change to Britney's visitation rights (probably thanks to Wasser). However, neither side is talking about the developments.

Spears seemed happy leaving court even talking with reporters on the way out. I guess it is good to have the Wasser back!

A journalist who went undercover as a photographer has written a tell-all book about Britney Spears. Ian Halperin says Britney tried to kill herself twice and often used drugs.

Evidently, Spears' suicidal tendencies date back to the birth of her second son in 2006. Her family has even evidently backed up these claims.

Halperin also claims that Britney was doing lots o' drugs last year.

"I partied with her and was able to really monitor what type of stuff she was using," he writes."It's very concerning."

The reporter also writes that the Spears family and Britney's former manager Sam Lutfi are also responsible for some "sleazy and destructive" behavior.

This is going to be good.

You may soon get your chance to buy a piece of Britney Spears.

Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, is evidently going to sell the pop singer's assets including her Studio City mansion.

Jamie got authority from the court to carry out the liquidation on Tuesday.

No word yet on where Spears will move. Hopefully she'll take something more low profile.

Britney and her dad are both evidently in Lousiana waiting for Jamie-Lynn to have her baby.

"America's Got Talent" is back and so is Britney Spears.

Well sorta-- Meet Derek, the new Britney Spears! Yes, this Britney is a man!

This guy does Britney better than Britney Spears does Britney. He's definitely got talent!

I'm shocked that Pierce was so closed minded about it, but his gimmick is all an act anyway.

I think Derek makes a great Britney Spears, I just hope he does a better song next time.

Classic Britney! Hit me back one more time!

"America's Got Talent" airs on Tuesday nights on NBC!

As strange as it sound Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are on vacation together relaxing in Costa Rica. I hope those two crazies don't come back married or something!

According to Entertainment tonight, the stars left for the mini-vacation on Tuesday morning with Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, in tow.

There were some rumors that Brit-Brit's kids, Jayden James and Sean Preston, might join the festivities. That is just a rumor. The boys aren't allowed to leave the country without special permission, as per Britney's custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

No word yet on when the circus is coming back to the main land.

According to Fox News, Gibson and Spears were spotted having dinner together in California in March and the two used to live in the same Malibu community.

It's looks like Britney is getting better, ya'll!

After what Kevin Federline's attorney called the “recognition of the progress that has been made, a progress of structure and stability" in Britney, she's gettin' more time with the boys!

Spears was awarded extended visits with her sons after a child custody hearing in Los Angeles Superior County Court on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.

Britney's parents are tickled pink! Jamie and Lynne Spears said in a statement, “We are so pleased with Britney’s progress, and we are very appreciative of the court’s recognition of this progress.”

K-Fed maintains full custody, and they'll go back to court on July 15th for a progress report.

It looks like I have a reason to watch another episode of "How I Met Your Mother." Britney Spears was back on the set this week for her second appearance on the show, what will probably mark the second time I ever see the show.

I don't care much for Britney as a singer these days, but she is hilarious when "stunt cast" on sitcoms. Spears' last appearance on "HIMYM" and several years ago on "Will & Grace" have been two of her best performances ever.

Britney's sitcom success has even led Lindsay Lohan to appear on five or six episodes of "Ugly Betty."

Britney's new episode of "How I Met Your Mother" is scheduled to air next Monday on CBS.

Britney Spears was involved in a car accident on Saturday night in Los Angeles, and cops administered a field sobriety test to see if she was drunk.

Spears was driving onto the freeway at just before 8:30pm when she whacked a 2006 Nissan in the rear which in return smacked into the car it was following.

According to the police report, Spears "attempted to brake but failed to stop her vehicle."
The Nissan was "pushed forward into another older model vehicle."

Britney was given a field sobriety test, and guess what - SHE PASSED! I'm so proud!

Additionally, no injuries have been reported!

The doctors who got busted snooping at Britney Spears' medical records earlier this year got a slap on the wrist while other hospital workers were fired or forced into retirement.

According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, doctors at UCLA hospitals who wrongly peeked at the records of pop star Britney Spears got off lighter than other staffers, reports released Friday by state health inspectors said.

The breaches on Britney's private info evidently happened twice. Once in 2005 at a hospital in Santa Monica when she gave birth to Sean Preston and again earlier this year when she was hospitalized in the psych ward at UCLA.

The article says at least 53 UCLA staffers -- including 14 physicians -- looked at Spears' medical records on the two occasions, even though they were not treating her. Eighteen non-doctors resigned, retired or were dismissed after their prying was discovered, according to data provided to The Times by UCLA. No physicians quit or were fired.

UCLA officials have evidently known that employees have peeked at the records of celebrities and even their own colleagues for years, but they have been unable to uproot the problem.

Madonna and her daughter Lourdes evidently want to 'save' Britney Spears.

The grandmother of pop was a guest on the Yo on E! satellite radio show and said that she wants to help Britney, the fallen pop star.

"For real ... Let's go save her," Madonna said. The 'material girl' also said her 11-year-old daughter feels the same way.

"[Lourdes] knows Britney, (but) she doesn't really watch TV or read gossip stuff," Madonna said in the interview. "I think she sort of gets the drift of what's going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney."

Madonna, whose new album "Hard Candy" arrives April 29, told Yo on E! that she plans to spend the summer in New York, and that she is considering a tour this fall.

Rumor has it Britney Spears is looking through scripts to star in her own reality show after an amazing performances on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother."

Britney Spears should just give up singing and become an actress. I'm not kidding either.

One of my favorite episodes of "Will and Grace" features Britney Spears as a lesbian playing a right-wing Christian. She's hilarious!

Now, the only episode of I have ever watched of "How I Met Your Mother" features Britney Spears as a ditsy receptionist. Watch a little bit here:

Britney's "comeback" on MTV flopped. Her comeback on CBS was really funny. So, maybe... just maybe... Britney Spears should just stop singing and become an actress!

Britney Spears' court-ordered "people" have come to an agreement with her former buddy Sam Lutfi.

Lutfi and Britney's conservatory have agreed to extend the restraining orders against Sam for another 30 days.

Papa Spears, Jamie, wants Sam to stay really, really far away from his daughter and have no contact while she recovers.

Lutfi is accused of giving Britney drugs, and that could have lead to her very public breakdown.

The conservators were due in court on Monday to plead their case on why Sam's restraining order needs to be extended, but that won't be necessary now.

TMZ is reporting that Lutfi met with the conservators last week, and now Sam instantly thinks it is a good idea for he and Brit to spend some time apart. Two weeks ago at this time, we were expecting Lutfi to rush the Spears estate at any moment.

I wonder what was said in that meeting to change his mind?!

Kevin Federline is evidently a bit smarter than we ever thought.

Britney Spears' ex-hubby might be getting an actual job... at a Mexican restaurant. Well, there's a little more to it than that.

K-Fed wants to buy his favorite taco stand. The Mirror is reporting that Federline has asked Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, to be his business partner.

Jamie has experience running restaurants, and it will most likely be Britney's money that funds the entire project.

I guess papa Spears will do whatever it takes to get Kevin off Britney's payroll!

Just because you work in a hospital, doesn't mean you can check out the medical records of the celebs who are treated there!

Some folks at the UCLA Medical Center are in deep trouble for doing just that with Britney Spears' records after her stay in the psych ward there.

UCLA is well on their way to firing at least 13 employees and has suspended at six others for sifting through Britney's confidential medical records.

Six physicians are also being investigated for looking at Spears' online records without due cause.

"It's not only surprising, it's very frustrating and it's very disappointing," said Jeri Simpson, the Santa Monica hospital's director of human resources, who handled the discipline in the first instance.

"I feel like we do everything that we possibly can to ensure the privacy of our patients and I know we feel horrible that it happened again."

Simpson said UCLA treats celebrities "all the time and you never hear about this."

It is amazing what can happen to you if your name is Britney Spears.
