Britney Spears’ Lollipops Are Laced with Morphine

Britney Spears’ Lollipops Laced with Morphine So you know those lollipops that Britney's always sucking on? According to National Enquirer, they're not so much the sort of candy you'd want your kids to have in their mouths. Rather, they're the sort of candy you're afraid your kids will pick up from the pervy old neighbor's house on Halloween. According to The Enquirer: Britney was introduced to the “drug lollipops: while on her “ONYX” tour in Europe in 2004, said her friend. In Amsterdam, she visited legal marijuana...

I Don’t Really Want to Talk About Britney Spears, But I Guess I Have To

Britney Spears Us Weekly Cover Honestly, this whole thing strikes me as something of a non-story. Some jackass who was an extra on Britney's most recent video shoot got invited to her late-night after-party at The Standard Downtown, along with some other extras from the shoot. Britney got topless and made out with him, and this is a cover story? Says the guy, 21-year-old Matt Encinias, who probably made a pretty penny in exchange for his story and pics: "Britney was the first one to undress, and then everyone else followe...

Kim Kardashian’s Reality Show Boots Kelly Osboune and Kim Stewart’s

kim_k.jpg I think I smell another C-list feud. Kelly Osbourne and Kim Stewart were set to do a reality show together on E! next season. It was supposed to be a Simple Life replacement, except with less famous and less interesting people. Unsurprisingly, "the network just wasn't into Kelly and Kimberly's show." Instead, it looks like they'll be the mystery network airing the Kim Kardashian reality show I mentioned last week, which co-stars her gazillion brothers and sisters, including Brody Jenner, who has to win some sort of award for real...

Not So Blind Item

Which troubled, hard-partying Lollapalooza performer cleared out a bathroom over the weekend in Chicago and then smoked what our spy-in-the-stall swears was a crack pipe?

Explaining Mena’s Haircut

mena_bald1.jpg When we ran this photo of a newly shorn Mena Suvari earlier in the week, one of the readers commented that it had to be for a movie role. That's correct. Miss Suvari didn't pull a Britney; in fact, the new look is for her role in the film adaptation of Hemingway's The Garden of Eden, where she's playing Catherine, the new wife of writer David. Filming wrapped recently in Spain, so I guess Mena's waiting for her hair to hit the requisite three inches before she gets extensions put in. ...

I Think We’ve Found Lindsay Lohan

Cirque Lodge Aerial Photo, Lindsay Lohan, Rehab The consensus these days seems to be that Lindsay's at the Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah. It's a high-end rehab facility popular with celebs and the very rich. It only accommodates 16 patients at a time, so you better believe Lindsay skipped to the top of a long waiting list. According to Radar, the rehab comes complete with its own helicopter, and is nestled in the beautiful Rockies. But Radar also notes that, when it comes to drugs, nearby Park City may not be so different from LA: While th...

The VMAs Are Here

The MTV Video Music Awards are fast approaching, and the nominees have been released. The best group category proves once again how tragically out-of-touch with the under-24 culture I am becoming. I guess I recognize most of these names, but, with the exception of Fall Out Boy, I can't name a single one of their songs. I just want to curl up in my room and listen to August and Everything After. Is that so wrong? Is it? Anyway, the nominees are: Fall Out Boy Gym Class Heroes Linkin Park Maroon 5 The White Stripes The best new artist category confuses me, because most of these people aren't new artists. I mean, Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 1994, right? Amy Winehouse had an album go platinum in the U.K. in 2003. How exactly are we defining "new" in this context? And can someone please tell me what song Gym Class Heroes and Peter Bjorn & John gets played on the radio? I even Googled them and I couldn't figure it out. Lily Allen Gym Class Heroes Peter Bjorn & John Carrie Underwood Amy Winehouse The best female artist nominees don't matter, because Rihanna's going to win and Beyonce's going to be sooo pissed about it. Beyonce Fergie Nelly Furtado Rihanna Amy Winehouse And I don't know any of the songs by anyone in the best male artist category, either, except for JT. Oh, Akon does "Smack That," which, if I recall correctly, was already awarded Song of the Year by Ms. magazine, so I don't know that it really needs this accolade as well. Let someone else have a chance. The noms: Akon Robin Thicke T.I. Justin Timberlake Kanye West The VMAs will air on September 9th on MTV. />The MTV Video Music Awards are fast approaching, and the nominees have been released.
