The pair fell out last year but have recently attempted to revive their relationship – with Lynne arriving in Los Angeles on Monday to comfort the troubled star. Spears was spotted out shopping for a new car with her mother the following day, according to the New York Daily News. And Lynne hopes that now she is back in her daughter’s life, she will be able to provide the “Toxic” singer with the stability she needs. Wow, what a great step in the right direction. Keep this up Britney and soon you will have your adorable kids back.

Miley Cyrus has dispelled rumors that she and youngest Jonas brother Nick Jonas are dating. “We’re just really good buds,” she told USA Today. Cyrus answered readers’ questions in the newspaper’s Wednesday edition. One reader asked, “Do you ever worry that your friends like you only because you’re famous? Kind of like the reason Miley Stewart hides that she’s really Hannah Montana?” To which Cyrus replied, “It’s definitely easier to make friends now. Good friends? Just like Reese and Jake?

Ethan Hawke – already the father of two children with his ex-wife Uma Thurman – is about to become a father again, this time with Ryan Shawhughes, described as the former nanny to his children. “I can confirm and they are thrilled,” says Hawke’s rep Mara Buxbaum. “No further details will be made available.” Wow what an upstanding citizen. Way to borrow a page from the Woody Allen book of life.

Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have purchased exclusive rights to tragic video footage of Heath Ledger allegedly snorting cocaine at a party two years ago. The footage, which PageSix.com hears was bought for $200,000, was shot without Heath’s knowledge, at the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A. following the SAG awards on January 29, 2006.  In the video, Heath is shown talking while at a private party after sniffing a cocaine-like substance off a table with a rolled up bill in his hand. As he speaks, his face noticeably twitches. An insider tells PageSix.com that Heath says at one point, “I’m gonna get so much sh*t from my girlfriend. We have a baby together… Matilda, Matilda Rose.”

And finally, American Pie star Jason Biggs is engaged to his girlfriend, actress Jenny Mollen, a rep for the actor confirms to PEOPLE. The couple looked cozy at the premiere of 29-year-old Biggs’s new comedy Over Her Dead Body Tuesday night, and Mollen, 28, was sporting a impressive ring. The pair met on the 2007 set of My Best Friend’s Girl, which is set for release this fall. I wonder if the ceremony will be held in the Dirty Jerz? I mean he is a Jersey boy through and through.

Happy Monday kiddies and away I go. As I right this I am chillin’ in my new pad enjoying my life.

Lindsay Lohan and The Hills star Brody Jenner were spotted “all over each other” during a night out in New York on Friday, leading to speculation the pair are an item. The troubled actress and Jenner, who was recently linked to Paris Hilton, partied together at two nightclubs, the Beatrice Inn and The Box, during their night on the town. A source tells People.com, “She likes him. It’s early, but they are more than friends. He seems to like her back. Wow, I never picked these two to date. Is it just me, or didn’t Lindsay once date Talan from Laguna? Hum.

Britney Spears’ longtime companion, Sam Lufti, has revealed the singer has sought treatment for a series of mental issues. Lutfi called Barbara Walters over the weekend in a bid to clear up reports about the “Toxic” singer’s health. And when Walters asked him if she could talk about their conversation during The View on Monday, Lutfi agreed. She told viewers about their chat, stating Lutfi referred to himself as Spears’ manager. She revealed, “I can’t vouch for this; he seemed to be very knowledgeable and he certainly was very nice.” Well at least it is a step in the right direction. Next up? Rehab. Hopefully next season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Now that would be suite.

Michael Jackson will make a surprise comeback at the Super Bowl this weekend in commercials to promote the 25th anniversary of “Thriller.” The star is to be honored in a Pepsi commercial, based on the ghoulish “Thriller” video, which will air during the showdown game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants on Sunday, February 3. Hum, I just hope his hair does not catch on fire, yet again. Or I kind of do. I wonder what plastic smells like when it is set on FIRE.

Ellen remembers Heath

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Happy Thursday Kiddies and away I go. The move is in effect ya’ll.

Ellen Degeneres paid a touching tribute to tragic actor Heath Ledger at the end of her show on Wednesday. Degeneres called the Brokeback Mountain star “an amazing, amazing, talented young man,” before devoting the finale of her show to a clip of her and Ledger `riding’ on a bobsled in front of a green screen. I love that show, I Tivo it on a daily basis, and it actually brought a tear to my eye during that clip.

Troubled pop star Britney Spears has failed to regain visitation rights to her children after an emergency custody hearing in Los Angeles. The singer had been due to make a desperate plea to a judge at L.A. County Courthouse to allow her to see her sons but arrived at the building and then left before entering the courtroom. And her absence may have affected the outcome as it has been reported that the star’s current visitation rights will remain the same, according to TMZ.com. The star allegedly entered the building through the basement to avoid the waiting paparazzi but turned and fled soon afterwards, without going into the room where the hearing was taking place. A member of Spears’ legal team told a court official, “I don’t know whether she’ll be here or not. I don’t want to delay the hearing.” Guys this is a good thing. Britney is an unfit mother at this stage. Britney simple concept. Get the help you need, and then you get your kids back.

Speaking of Miss Britney, someone is coming to her defense. Paris Hilton has defended Britney Spears against accusations of bad parenting, insisting the troubled singer is a “great mother.” Spears is currently fighting to win back visitation rights to see her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline after she was stripped of all custody rights following a stand-off with police earlier this month. The dramatic events of January 3, 2008 were sparked after she refused to hand back her youngest son, Jayden James, to Federline’s minder following a scheduled visit. But Hilton sympathizes with her former partying pal, and has called on the media to stop harassing the star. Oh Paris, I don’t think Britney needs your help at this juncture of time. Stay far away, she does not need you in her life right now. She needs help.

Allhiphop.com reports that Lil’ Wayne, born Dwight Carter, was arrested near Yuma, Arizona last night for drug possession. He was taken into custody by law enforcement officials and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The rapper is being charged with possession of cocaine, possession of ecstasy and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was in Arizona for a concert – he performed at the “Takeover Tucson” concert on Sunday, January 20. TMZ.com reports that police uncovered 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy pills on his tour bus, as well as a 40-caliber pistol. Wayne reportedly has a permit for a concealed weapon in Florida, however it is unclear if that carries over to Arizona. Ok, I could understand a small dime bag, but 105 grams of pot? Seriously that is insane.

OK, two more stories to report and than back to business. Tom Hanks’ actor son Colin is directing a documentary about the modern music industry. The King Kong star was inspired to scrutinize record sales and downloading after realizing kids were no longer growing up with the “thrill” of buying music from a store. He says, “I’ve bought music online but I’m still very big about going into a record store. “I’m very proud to say that I actually paid $14 for the Radiohead CD, and then actually went into the effort of converting it in pounds so I could buy it on the (British band’s) website. Is it just me or can you not only associate Colin Hanks with his role in Orange County.

And finally, some uplifting news, well somewhat uplifting. Apparently, Jaime Lynn Spears has agreed to turn over her baby to her mom Lynne Spears. Oh good for her. 16 is too young to be a mom. This is a good thing JLS.
