New Britney news this morning: Spears is back in rehab. (She checked into rehab in Antigua for less than 24 hours last week and then checked herself out.)Britney’s manager, Larry Rudolph, confirmed yesterday that Spears had voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehabilitation facility for treatment. Rudolph asks that the media respect her privacy as well as the privacy of her family and friends during this difficult time. And there are several reports out this morning that Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline had a blowout fight on Friday and Federline threatened to have Spears’ hair tested for illegal drugs.

But wait, what is this? Britney has left the rehab facility on her own will as of about 12:30 this afternoon. Britney, I am begging you please, go back and stay. Please I am down on my knees. Get your life and your mind back together and as one.

The divorce between Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro is now final. The paper work has been finalized and both are swinging single. Carmen call me.

Former “American Idol” top 10 finalist Bucky Covington now has his own weekly blog on the “USA Today” website. Covington, recently divorced from his wife, also has a CD due out this Spring. I wonder if he will finally get his teeth fixed now that he is swinging single.

Get your tap-shoes out bitches, as they have now officially announced the new season of Dancing With The Stars contestants. And here they are.

It is going to be a good one.

Well this is some exciting news for all my fellowite Dirty Jerzites. Now you can smell like Jon Bon Jovi, as he is releasing a brand new cologne. I wonder if it will smell like armpits and leather pants and hair spray?

And finally,

Jessica Simpson is the spokesperson for Pizza Hut. Jessica told Elle magazine that she is allergic to cheese so she can’t eat the pizza! That is like Lindsay Lohan being allergic to vodka. Ha good one mango.

This story just frankly scares me. It appears that Pink says that she worked at McDonalds back in the day but she was usually tripping on acid. Pink said that she would ask for bathroom duty and sit in the bathroom and watch the tiles! I always that knew that Pink was a druggie in her past. She just has that aura about her.

Ok well here is the big story of the day. According to TV’s Extra, pop superstar Britney Spears is in a rehab facility, but TMZ.com and People magazine claim she left.

The 25-year-old entertainer checked herself into Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Center in Antigua “two or three days ago,” according to People. TMZ.com states she refused to stay at the facility and checked out less than 24 hours later. Extra claims Britney was last seen boarding a private jet in New York City Monday night with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, en route to Miami. Please Britney, get your life back in order. I want the Britney of old, where she was America’s Sweetheart.

“American Idol” producer Nigel Lythgoe yesterday dispelled rumors that Michael Jackson would appear on the show this season, but then added that this season promises the biggest surprise ever on the show and says that it will be within the next two weeks. I wonder what that surprise could be. Maybe that they will have a trap-door setup in the floor so the people who get voted off, just drop of the stage.

Al Gore is putting on a series of concerts in the name of global warming. Snoop Dogg, John Mayer, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are already signed on and word is they’ll even do a show in Antarctica. I wonder if they will come over to Randall’s Island in New York City.

And this really just makes my year. It appears that The Spice Girls are reuniting. It is being reported that will be reunited for the Princess Diana 10^th Anniversary concert this summer, than doing between 20 and 30 other shows throughout Europe and Stateside.

Robyn Troup, the girl who won the contest to perform with Justin Timberlake at the Grammy, has now signed a deal with Timberlake’s management company. By the way, Troup was voted off of this season of “American Idol”. It just shows how huge AI really is.

Speaking of AI, the top twenty four were announced last night. One of them is from the Dirty Jerz, and goes by the name Antonella Barba. But please do not vote for her. I already have my 2 picks, one guy and one girl. My guy pick is Jack Osbourne look-a-like Chris Sligh, and my female pick Haley Scanato. So get your dialing fingers ready, because voting begins next Tuesday night. 

Former “SNL” comic and political commentator Al Franken has officially announced that he will run for Senate in Minnesota. I am such a huge fan of Al Franken and have loved him on The Daily Show. If I lived in Minnesota I would totally vote for him.

Shock jock Howard Stern got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky on Tuesday night. From what I heard, Howard asked Beth to strip totally naked, and he whispered sweet nothings in her ear, than he pulled out the ring. I just hope it wasn’t a penal ring. Oh that old gag.

There are reports out this morning, including one in today’s “New York Post” that Heather Mills is going to be on the forthcoming installment of “Dancing With the Stars”. I wonder if she will dance to Come on Eileen. Get it, she has one leg kiddies now that is just funny.

Paula Abdul has come out telling “Us Weekly” magazine that she has never been drunk in her life. Yeah and Hitler loved Jewish people. And Michael Jackson is not a kid touchier.

Former “American Idol” top 10 finalist, Kellie Pickler’s father is in jail yet again, this time for threatening his new wife with a steak knife. Pickler’s father was just released from prison last year after serving a sentence for assault and battery. Um, OK. When is he going to learn. Thank the Lord, Kellie is now living out of a suitcase hitting the road, promoting her album.

Oh Miss. Thang, please say this is not true. Whitney Houston has slammed reports she is getting back together with her estranged husband Bobby Brown after the couple was spotted dining together on Sunday. The star was in town to perform at music mogul Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Awards party on Saturday, but skipped the actual ceremony to enjoy a quiet dinner with Brown.

And finally,

Former Poison front man Bret Michaels will be looking for love on a new reality show to be broadcast on VH1. Rock of Love With Bret Michaels will feature the singer searching for a woman who can keep up with his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. The show is being made by the producers of rapper Flavor Flav’s hit VH1 show Flavor of Love, and will have a similar format. The women, who will live with Michaels at his “Los Angeles rock palace,” will be put through various challenges to test their devotion to him. They’ll also be tested on their knowledge of rock ‘n’ roll.

That’s it kiddies.

As I just mentioned, The 49th Annual Grammy Awards aired last night and The Dixie Chicks dominated the ceremony, winning all five awards they were nominated for, including Album, Record and Song of the Year. Mary J. Blige took home 3 awards for her album “The Breakthrough”, including R&B Album of the Year. And the Red Hot Chili Peppers took home four awards for their latest endeavor, “Stadium Arcadium”. The Police opened the show last night and are expected to announce their reunion tour today. They’re expected to bring that tour to Fenway Park for two shows, July 27th and 28th. I have seen The Dixie Chicks in concert 3 times, and they are a hell of a performer, and are not afraid to speak their minds.

This story just blows my mind. It appears that a craptastic movie starring Eddie Murphy can still make a killing. “Norbit” won the top box office over the weekend, taking in $33.7 million. The latest Hannibal Lecter movie, “Hannibal Rising” came in second with $13.35 million and Mandy Moore’s “Because I Said So” ranked third with $9 million. I wonder if a video of me taking a dump can make that much money? I mean I don’t see why not if Norbit can make that much!

Some of my loyal readers may be wondering why Pat O’Brien has missed the first several episodes of “The Insider” during February sweeps. It turns out that he took a fall at home and opened up a huge gash in his head. He should be back to work soon. Oh thank God, I was wondering.

MSN is reporting that troubled star Lindsay Lohan is “amazing”, “great” and “happy” four weeks into her stint in a Los Angeles rehab center, according to her mother Dina.

Lohan checked into the Wonderland Center on January 18 in order to “take care of my personal health.” Dina says it’s having a positive affect on the actress. She tells People magazine, “She’s amazing. She’s great and she’s happy. “She’s in a really good space right now.” Gotcha Dina, if you say so. I wonder if laid off the Grey Goose long enough to give a proper statement.

It appears that Kevin Federline has found love again after splitting from Britney Spears.

Although his estranged wife recently broke-up with her boyfriend, model Isaac Cohen, Federline is having no problems with the ladies. He was recently spotted with a stunning blonde called Angie. The rapper arrived at a Maxim magazine party in Miami, Florida last week in his Rolls-Royce with his date and spent the night holding her hand and kissing her. I kind of miss the K-fed of old. He is in a much better place now than Britney is.

OK 2 more stories to report. Well it didn’t take long for Britney’s ex-flame Isaac Cohen to open a giant can of worms, but he is talking. Cohen was paid $10,000 by an England newspaper, where Isaac is claiming Britney MADE him have sex on a revolving bed while watching themselves in the mirrored ceiling. He said that she LOVED all night sex in her marital bed while her wedding dress hung framed on the wall outside and she grumbled when the sex stopped as she struggled to cope with a bitter divorce and fear of losing her children! If that isn’t enough info for you he goes on to say “She loves sex and is incredibly adventurous. When the sex stopped Britney was like a little girl lost and unable to cope”. He also went on to say that she was “burnt out” and “A shy a sweet girl who was desperately sad about what happened with her marriage”. HA HA HA HA This is great. I always love Britney when she is deshelved.

And finally,

So I have a question to ask you. What happened to Paris Hilton’s dog Tinkerbelle? Paris is on the set of her new movie “The Hottie or the Nottie” and she is introducing people to Tinkerbelle. The people on the set are saying that its a different dog! Where is the original? Um, OK. Leave it to Paris to attempt to pull a fast one over on us.

Is Drew Barrymore hooking it with Zach Braff from “Scubs?” The two of them have been spotted all over Hollywood, kissing, and playing my favorite game, Grab-Ass. The two actually do make a really cute couple.

Britney Spears is single again after reportedly getting dumped by boyfriend Isaac Cohen after just one month of dating. Cohen broke the news to the singer during a long-distance phone call on Sunday evening while she was in New York City and he was in Los Angeles. Cohen’s agent, Brandi Lord, confirms the split to US OK! magazine saying, “They are no longer an item.” The pair met through Spears’ choreographer and began dating in mid-December, a month after Spears filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline. I think it is only a matter of time, before she makes her move on the single K-Fed.

From the I am a complete whore category, Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman spice up their year-long marriage by cooking Sunday dinner in the nude. The superstar insists she and her man are the “coziest couple ever” and they get sexy once a week for “naked Sundays.” Thank God, I still participate in Topless Tuesday’s at my apartment.

This is some exciting news. The ‘Dreamgirls’ are reuniting for the Oscars. Jennifer Hudson has already confirmed she’ll be performing solo at the Academy Awards on February 25, and now she’ll team up with Beyoncé Knowles and Anika Noni Rose for another stunning performance. I don’t know if any of you guys have seen the movie yet, but PLEASE go out and see it or rent it once on DVD, it really is a great movie.

The creators of Laguna Beach are hitting the East Coast …. They’re coming to Brooklyn .. Casting interviews are being held for students by appointment. The creators will aim to “paint an accurate picture for America what life is like for the average Brooklyn High School Student.”

Ok, One more story to report today.

R. Kelly was in Miami, for the Super Bowl, over the weekend and his appendix burst. He had to be rushed to the hospital and is still in the hospital this morning. OK, Um was he filming him urinating on a minor and videotaping it when his appendix burst?
