  • Britney Spears got good news in court yesterday–she’ll receive an "expansion of time" with her two children, and the court said she could be granted overnight visitation in the next month.  This should be welcome news to ex Kevin Federline, who can soon resume his life of crashing parties and pretending he’s important
  • Rihanna continues to play it coy with comments about her relationship with Chris Brown, telling a magazine interview, "We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now."  I guess you could call two people all but humping their brains out in public "very close"..
  • Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson will all turn 50 this year, and Madge was asked if the 3 would be throwing a party, to which she said, "If there is, I’m not throwing it. I’m tired of throwing parties!"  OK, but honestly–who would attend a party the other two wack jobs would throw?
  • Taylor Swift admitted to Seventeen magazine that she became unpopular in junior high, saying, "That was really sad, to sit there and wonder, ‘What’s wrong with me?’"  Makes you wonder if all those kids who dissed her back then imagine they were her best friend
  • Contract talks between producers and the Screen Actors Guild ended yesterday with tense words about the union’s demands for higher fees from DVD sales and online content, with the other side calling them "unreasonable".  Of course, these were the same issues that caused the writers to strike–except producers think actors and writers pay no attention to each other…
  • Barbara Walters dished more from her upcoming memoir Audition on yesterday’s Oprah, revealing that the cast of The View were forced to keep mum on co-host Star Jones’ gastric bypass until she herself went public about it.  They were supposed to say it was "portion control and Pilates", but no one is sure–Star was choking on a chicken wing at the time…

  • Madonna previewed her new album Hard Candy for fans last night at an exclusive New York show,  featuring Madge trading moves with Justin Timberlake on her hit 4 Minutes and generally not moving like most 49-year-old mothers of 3 do.  Considering the number of F-bombs she dropped, she’s not talking like one either…
  • People Magazine’s annual 100 Most Beautiful People list is out and it features Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Alicia Keys, Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson.  Why that guy Hurley from Lost didn’t get picked, I’ll never know…
  • Daughtry is getting serious in the competition for the best-selling American Idol contestant, as sales of his self-titled debut CD just hit 4 million.  Only Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have sold more so far–and yes, he did lose to Taylor Hicks
  • Mariah Carey’s E=MC2 topped the album charts for a second week in a row, but it’s likely to be unseated by the debut of Madonna’s Hard Candy, which is on target to sell about 300,000 copies.  The last time these two were ruling the charts we all liked Bill Clinton
  • David Blaine held his breath in a water-filled sphere for just over 17 minutes on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, setting a world’s record.   What surprises me is that Simon Cowell of American Idol fame hasn’t tried this–he’s a big bag of wind
  • Tom Cruise is in talks to star in a fourth Mission: Impossible film.  The premise is a simple one–he has to convince the world that Katie Holmes really loves him and has not been brainwashed by Scientology

  • Taylor Swift’s self-titled CD has hit the triple-platinum mark, meaning she’s sold three million copies of it so far. And if there’s a better example of how a teenage musical sensation should handle herself, I haven’t seen it yet…
  • Whitney Houston’s concert appearance at a music festival on the island of Tobago was a disappointment to fans, as she struggled through performances, failed to hit the high notes and left the stage after just 30 minutes saying, "I love you Trinidad!"  On the good side, she didn’t try and get any audience members to give her drugs
  • Rihanna will team up with Maroon 5 for a duet of a song the band previously recorded called If I Never See Your Face Again, which will be on re-releases of both of their last albums coming out in June.  M5 frontman Adam Levine wanted to do a "battle of the sexes" version of the song and Rihanna was the first person he thought of, since he and the band are huge fans of hers…
  • CSI star Gary Dourdan, who plays investigator Warrick Brown, was arrested on drug charges when police found him asleep in his car with what appeared to be cocaine, heroin, Ecstacy, and prescription drugs in his possession.  I guess they didn’t buy his story that he was "preserving the chain of custody"…
  • Rosie O’Donnell has weighed in on the Miley Cyrus photo spread controversy, posting on her blog to "Leave Miley Cyrus alone…Disney [is] making her apologize", referring to the Vanity Fair photo that makes the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star appear topless.  Rosie figures she got rich and tried to wreck her career–someone else should get the chance, too…
  • A Rolling Stone article quotes a former LA madam as saying Charlie Sheen had been a regular customer of hers as late as last year, with one account of her dropping off 4 women at his penthouse and Sheen giving her a $20,000 check for several hours’ service.  I’d be totally disgusted with him if I weren’t so damn jealous
  • Ex rapper Vanilla Ice dodged a legal bullet when domestic battery charges against him were dropped after his wife recanted allegations that he kicked and struck her during an argument.  She knew better than to call him a pathetic fraud

  • Mariah Carey’s E=MC2 CD debuted at #1 on the sales chart, with first-week sales that not only surpassed all her previous albums but was the biggest week of the year so far.  It’s also her 6th top-ranked album, second only to Barbra Streisand and tied with Madonna and Janet Jackson
  • The American Idol Live 2008 tour will kick off  July 1 in Glendale, Arizona and continue thru September 13, with tickets for all tour dates going on sale May 17.  Get more info and the complete tour itinerary from American Idol’s website…
  • Madonna’s documentary about Malawi, I Am Because We Are, debuts tonight at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival.  The title is translated from a Zulu saying, which she says means "we are not defined without each other"–and of course, our mega-millions Manhattan duplex
  • The big-screen Sex And The City is out May 30 and Fergie will contribute a revamped pop/hip-hop take on the show’s theme called Labels Or Love.  Here’s a 30-second clip of the tune:
  • Taylor Swift, who missed her own prom while touring with country superstar Brad Paisley last year , finally got her chance recently–with an all-star Alabama high school basketball player as her escort.  She called it, "an amazing, amazing substitute for my prom"–and her date is probably still wearing the tux
  • One-time The View host Star Jones, whose 2004  wedding to Al Reynolds was more public than perhaps anybody wanted, now would like a very private divorce from him.  There’s as much chance of that happening as there is Barbara Walters begging her to come back…

  • Miley Cyrus says her huge hit See You Again is a more grown-up song than the songs from her Disney series Hanna Montana.  That’s right–Miley has finally broken through to that all-important 15-17 age group
  • Colbie Caillat has recorded a duet with Taylor Swift which will be on Taylor’s next CD.  The two met when Taylor brought Colbie a song that she wanted help with finishing, and that collaboration let to the duet
  • Madonna set another chart record–this time in the UK, where 4 Minutes became her 13th #1 song–more than any other female solo artist there.  It means real acceptance from her new British neighbors–she’ll finally be invited down to the pub
  • I hear that Britney Spears will be returning to CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother after her first guest star appearance made a great impression with the cast and the show’s audience.  Even star Neil Patrick Harris is excited–well, about as excited as he gets about a woman
  • President Bush will be on Deal Or No Deal tonight via video, where he will thank a contestant for his service in the Iraq war.  I hope the president does right by him and gets the CIA to figure out which suitcase has the big money in it…
  • I read that Paris Hilton wants to marry current boyfriend Benji Madden of Good Charlotte fame as part of a double wedding with BFF Nicole Ritchie and Benji’s brother and bandmate Joel–who happen to have a baby together–because Paris believes she could make millions off the pictures.  The pure ego and greed that drives that kind of thinking is truly amazing–and frightening
