That's what the parents of 16-year-old Blake Peebles, from North Carolina, finally decided to do.
Blake -- who, yes, looks a lot like Sanjaya -- wanted to drop out of high school so he could dedicate all his energy to pursuing a career as a competitive Guitar Hero player.
"We couldn't take the complaining anymore," says his mom. "He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time."
Blake does have in-home tutors, but still.
Blake has done well in local tournaments, including one he...
That's what just ONE of the lawyers in Britney Spears' custody battle cost.
$700 an hour!
And Stacy Phillips is claiming Britney hasn't paid the $338,414.87 she's owed for just a couple months of work. That number is after courtesy deductions and $75K she expects to receive next month. Britney's camp is balking at the number, but Stacy says because she handled all the conservatorship stuff, her legal work was very complex and took up a lot of hours.
BUT $700 AN HOUR???! For a child custody case?
Jesus Christ, is she turning Sean and Jayden into solid gold? What the hell is ANYBODY doin...
A Dutch filmmaker is beginning work on a film based on the disappearance (and presumed death) of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. It'll be based on the book Vuurkoraal by a Dutch journalist. (Google Translate can't seem to translate "Vuurkoraal" into English for me ... can any of you do it?)
I assume the film will be in Dutch, although it would probably be a lot more profitable if they did it in English and marketed it here. This is the same country where people rushed out in hordes to ...

“I think that maybe Lauren is tired of [being on the show], but we’re just beginning. We’re not even remotely sick of it.â€
Heidi Montag, without even a hint of irony, tells Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. ...
Answer: Because it sucks.
The network and producing studio issued a statement Monday saying they won't be sending out DVDs of the highly anticipated show before its September 2 premiere.
"The CW and our studio partner CBS Paramount Network Television have made the strategic marketing decision not to screen '90210' for any media in advance of its premiere," the statement said. "We're not hiding anything -- simply keeping a lid on '90210' until 9.02, riding the curiosity and anticipation in...
Oh, Lily.
You just can't stay out of trouble these days, can you?
Lily was stumbling between London clubs at 1:30 in the morning when a random fan started talking shit to her. The obvious response? Lily punched her three times. The paps say she landed all three punches solidly. And she would have kept going, except her friends pulled her away and put her in the car.
Rock on, Lily.

I suppose the biggest question is really why this took so damn long.
Dita Von Teese has teamed up with Wonderbra to create a line of lingerie inspired by looks from the '40s and '50s.
"I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath," she says. "Lingerie shouldn't be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you. It's not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood."
I actually think this is awesome and I'm excited to buy it. In fact, I...
It's actually a pretty long list.
I have to kill both Amanda Beard and model Lily Donaldson, both of whom Michael Phelps is rumored to be dating, but before I do that, I have to kill anyone involved in the creation of Windows Vista and the decision to install it on any fucking new laptop. From what I can tell, Windows Vista is in no way better than XP, it's just very different and therefore impossible to navigate when you're used to using XP. Oh, and it's crashed twice already. Like, full-on core dump. While I was trying to do complicated things. Like connect to the Internet. Incredible. How long did Microsoft take to...
Uma Thurman puffs on a cancer stick while on vacation with fiance Arpad Busson.
And I am certainly in NO POSITION to judge anyone else for smoking ... but I'm nearly at a month smoke-free! Not a SINGLE cigarette! Boo-yah, motherfuckers!!!

Woo hoo for Christina Applegate, who announced at a taping of Good Morning America today that, just a month after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she is free of the disease.
"I'm clear," she said. "Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. ... They got everything out so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer."
Christina's battle seems easy, but it's in large part due to the fact that she got checked early and regularly for signs of cancer, knowing that she was at risk.
