I Respect That Paparazzo with Britney Spears!

The other night, i was shocked how Britney Spears got into a paparazzo’s car and simply drove off … well, now that i think of it, it might have been the only thing to do, with all the hoards of drooling paps all over her!The paparazzo, Adnan, who is a Brit, might have been the only guy that night, who treated Britney as a human being!He helped her, by driving her to all the places she needs to go, helping her to go to the facilities at one supermarket and trying to ward off the paps!To many, Britney is a big walking $ ! When she’s in public, it’s the prefect chance to snap as much photos of her as possible and to make a good deal of green ones! But Adnan saw her in a different way!He saw her as a human being, being harassed by shouting paps with lenses shoved into her face!I don’t think anything happened between Brit & Adnan that night … when he tells X17online that it was the best night of his life, it doesn’t have to mean it was a wild romp!By the way, he’s a paparazzo … but all through the night, he didn’t take one photo of Britney! He could have made thousands of buck with exclusive photos of her … but he didn’t!There’s another thing bothering me about this matter … i came across many comments over at X17online concerning Adnan and Britney … it’s true, everyone has the right to post their own opinion about anything, but some people think in strange ways! .

Britney Spears could be a suicide risk, says Hollywood addiction …

A leading Hollywood addiction specialist fears Britney Spears could be a suicide risk – insisting: “She appears to be crazy.”

The pop star has had a year of alarming behaviour – and was as bad as ever this weekend with bizarre trips to gas station toilets while talking in a fake British accent and finally arranging a “date” with a paparazzi photographer.

Now Beverly Hills analyst and addiction expert Marty Brenner fears she is showing the kind of behaviour that “could end in suicide” if she does not get help. “She appears to be crazy,” said Brenner, who has not treated Spears.

“She is disconnected from life.

“She’s losing it now, and she’s going to eventually lose it altogether if she doesn’t get the help she needs.

“She’s exhibiting bipolar signs and she’s clearly fighting depression.”

At the weekend, Britney pulled over on a busy road to snap a photo of a mural, then flipped when photographers refused to move out of her way. She screamed “Mother*******” at them and smashed her camera against a car. Later, she stopped numerous times at gas stations and at a Wal-Mart to use the bathroom.

She was heard using a bizarre British accent – and also making a ranting cellphone call about studios while in the toilet.

She then got a cellphone number for her favourite photographer and then – with other photogs watching on and filming the whole thing – arranged to meet him at a hotel where they stayed for several hours.

Brenner says Spears’ latest ploy for attention may be due to her 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn’s announcement that she’s pregnant. “Britney now needs to cry out for even more attention,” he said.

Spears' teen pregnancy puts parents to the test

Gossip columns buzzed. Entertainment shows sizzled. Parents and preteens froze with fear.
Jamie Lynn Spears, younger sister of troubled pop star Britney Spears and star of her own Nickelodeon show, announced last week she was pregnant at 16.
That meant parents and fans of Spears’ show, Zoey 101, might have some explaining to do.But before you have “the talk,” know that topics of sex and pregnancy don’t have to be scary or uncomfortable, unless you get carried away with threats and graphic details.
Kathleen Waldron, a faculty member in the College of Human Services at Arizona State University, advised keeping it simple. She said many of the kids who watch Spears’ show may not even realize that you must have sex to get pregnant.
“Kids have all kinds of weird little ideas in their heads that we can’t even appreciate,” Waldron said.
Younger kids may just ask about the grind of motherhood. They’ll want to know how Spears will care for the baby and how she’ll miss sleep when the baby cries at night, Waldron said.
But preteens may have a different take. Waldron said they could be wrapped up in how a pregnancy can derail everyday teenage life.
No mall. No movies. No life.
“Those are the issues kids are going to be much more tuned in to,” Waldron said.
To make it even easier, parents could just leave the subject alone until a child brings it up or asks questions, Waldron said. Why go there when you don’t have to, yet?
“Don’t give out any more information than they can process,” Waldron said.
Turn the subject on them. Waldron said parents should ask their children what they think about Spears’ pregnancy.

How Mama Spears raised her girls

The 2007 award for gall might well have gone to Lynne Spears, who was writing a book about parenting due for release on Mother’s Day 2008. But, overcome with common sense, the Tennessee publisher of religious books had second thoughts about Spears’ mothering skills.

So, "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" is on hold, leaving fans wondering about Lynne Spears’ secrets of raising Britney Spears, 25, and her sister, Jamie, 16, who’re premiere topics of gossip and leers.

The better known of the two, Britney, sometime-singer and off-and-on mother of two infants and bed partner for whomever she taps for the night, is regarded in drug- and alcohol-rehab circles as a "train wreck." Jamie came into her own notoriety by divulging she’s pregnant by an 18-year-old boyfriend. The notion he might be arrested for statutory rape of an underage girl makes titillating blog chatter, but not likely to happen in the world of sleaze the Spears girls inhabit.

Mama Spears can salvage her tome. She could find a new publisher and rewrite it as a paean to girls without proper upbringing who mock social convention to become favs of bloggers and paparazzi because of wicked behavior.

What would Britney Spears be today if not just a has-been singer who bar crawls regularly in a quest for a new bed partner, had she not shaved her head in a fit of pique, attacked a car with an umbrella, flashed the paparazzi without underpants, been in and out of court and rehab and briefly slummed high-class saloons with the equally jaded Paris Hilton?

As for Britney’s sibling, Jamie, the current moment of fame rests on her pregnancy, lousy timing and worse reality.

SPEARS & LOATHING

NOW THAT Christmas is behind us, let's turn our attention to the real issue of the day: teenage sex.

The announcement that teen TV star Jamie Lynn Spears, little sister of tabloid wreck Britney Spears, is pregnant at 16 is newsworthy, not because of her age – after all, 750,000 teenagers in the U.S. get pregnant each year – but because her blessed event has already become a lightning rod for moral and legal conflicts.

For example, social conservatives are conflicted because if they condone her decision to keep the baby and not secure a hasty abortion, will they be condoning teenage sex?

Then there's the potential legal conflict. For example, there are questions whether the father of the child, 19-year-old Casey Aldridge, will face statutory rape charges because Spears was 15 at the time she got pregnant.

And if that's the case, will he, too, be sentenced to 10 years in prison like Genarlow Wilson and Marcus Dwayne Dixon, two Georgia boys who in separate cases were sentenced to a decade behind bars under Georgia's mandatory sentencing for statutory rape? Both Wilson and Dixon, who were eventually released, had consensual sex as teenagers with young women their age. Both are black.

Aldridge is white, and involved with a celebrity.

Celebrity Paydays, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Sammy Hagar and Madonna Top The …

Celebrity Paydays, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Sammy Hagar and Madonna Top The List

by Paul Cashmere – December 25 2007photo by Ros O’Gorman

50 Cent, Jay-Z, Sammy Hagar and Madonna had the biggest paydays in the music industry this year. Fiddy did best. He made $100 million in a single day.

Forbes magazine has compiled the Top 20 paydays of 2007 for the entertainment industry. The four performers from the music industry made the list as well as one music executive, David Geffen.

50 Cent won paydirt when beverage Vitaminwater was bought by Coca-Cola for $4.1 billion. Instead of taking a cash payment for endorsing the product, Fiddy took shares in the company. When Coke cashed in, Fiddy cashed out, to the tune of $100 million.

Jay-Z banked $82 million in a single day when his clothing label Rocawear was sold to Iconix Brand Group for $204 million.

Sammy Hagar added $80 million to his bank account when he sold 80% of his tequila company Cabo Wabo to Gruppo Campari. The company has an option to buy the remaining 20% over the next five to eight years, so Hagar can look forward to a nice little superannuation.

50 Cent plays concert in Kosovo

Some fans thought he would not show up as the threat of violence has escalated with Kosovo set to declare independence from Serbia.

Speaking to Reuters before performing, the 32-year-old said: “I haven’t missed a show date in my career.”

Riot police were on guard during the gig at a stadium in Pristina.

50 Cent – real name Curtis Jackson – said: “I’ve been to Iraq. I performed for the soldiers. I’ve been to Israel. I’ve been to Beirut. They actually bombed the week after I left.”

He is currently in the middle of a European tour promoting his latest album, Curtis.
