Britney Spears sued by ex-bodyguard Kerry Vine
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Britney Spears is being sued by Kerry Vine, one of her ex-bodyguards. In court documents filmed this past Monday, Vine says he was injured while working at her Britney’s home in Los Angeles in March 2008. The documents state: “Advanced Security Concepts negligently operated their business thereby causing injuries to Vine who worked for Spears at the time. Spears breached that duty of care to the plaintiff by failing to ensure that he could safely perform duties that Advanced Security Concepts ordered him to perform.”
Kerry is suing for personal injury, battery and negligence which he says caused him to lose wages and incur medical and hospital fees. He also claims loss of personal property and earning capacity. The initial hearing will take place on September 2.
This is just the latest in a string of legal woes to fall into Britney’s lap. Last month, she was granted a restraining order against her former manager Sam Lutfi, which bans him from being within 100 yards of Spears for three years. Sam is also not allowed to contact the 27-year-old singer via email, phone or old-school snail mail. Lawyer Jon Eardley—who previously questioned why Britney’s father Jamie was made co-conservator of her professional and personal affairs last year—is also included in the same restraining order.

Eminem: I was like Bugs Bunny in rehab
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Meltdowns,
Eminem says he felt like Bugs Bunny during his stint in rehab. The rapper, who just launched his latest album Relapse, admits his worldwide fame left him feeling like a cartoon character when he checked into rehab in 2005 to receive treatment for drug addiction.
Marshall Mathers told BBC Radio One, “When I landed myself in rehab in 2005 I felt like I wanted to reassess everything. I remember sitting in rehab thinking, ‘Is this what it comes to, really?’ So when I got out I knew I needed to pull back from the spotlight because of the fame thing. I was like Bugs Bunny in rehab, Bugs Bunny walking in the room. The second you walk in the room…There were some people who were as supportive as they could be, some people that were like, ‘I don’t look at you as Eminem. I’m seeing you as Marshall.’”
Eminem recently revealed he wanted to kill himself at the height of his problems. According to him, he just wasn’t taking care of himself, and at times wanted to just give up. “I was in a dark place. I wanted to pull back from the spotlight to reassess my whole career. I got sober but it was pretty rough. A couple of years were bad for me.”
Cameron Diaz doesn’t believe in regularly flush the toilet after each use. Cameron does all she can to be environmentally friendly, and believes it is a waste of water to flush every time she relieves herself. “I do follow the, ‘If it’s yellow leave it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down’ saying. I believe in that 100 percent. But there are a couple of rules. You can’t go more than two or three times, if it’s consecutive, if you’re drinking a lot of water, without flushing. But if you have coffee or something, it’s going down!” Good to know, Cameron.
The 36-year-old actress—who drives a Toyota Prius, a hybrid electric car—has been interested in green issues since she was a child, and credits her parents with making her environmentally aware. As she explained on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, “It’s one of those things that is just a lifestyle choice. I was brought up that way so it’s something that I automatically do. I’m rigged that way.”

For the first time since the twins news was revealed, actress Sarah Jessica Parker is talking about being a mother again. In an interview with Billy Bush, the Sex and the City star also expressed concern for the welfare of the surrogate mother and addressed rumors about her marriage.
Although she’s already a mother to a 6-year-old son, Parker said they turned to surrogacy after exploring other options. “It would be a complicated – it would be odd to have made this choice if I was able to, you know, have successful pregnancies since my son’s birth,” she explained.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Style,
Anna Wintour, the legendary editor of US style bible magazine Vogue is making it know that she made a “gentle suggestion” to Oprah Winfrey prior to her front page photoshoot in 1998. According to Anna, it was just a gentle nudge: “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight. “I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper! She totally welcomed the idea, and she went on a very stringent diet. And it was one of our most successful covers ever.”
Oprah, 55, was featured on on the cover of Vogue, which carried the tagline ‘Oprah! A Major Movie, An Amazing Makeover’ in reference to her new film Beloved and weight loss. Anna has also called for better education to help halt rising cases of obesity in America. The 59-year-old fashionista - who recently commissioned a detailed feature on the issue - told 60 Minutes: “I’d just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses. There’s such an epidemic of obesity in the United States, and for some reason, everybody focuses on anorexia. We need to spend money time and education on teaching people to eat, exercise and take care of themselves in a healthier way. It provoked, which is really the point.”
People are “little houses” - did you get that?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Music, Videos, Paparazzi Videos, Where Are They Now?,
Surrounded by the paps as she ambled down the sidewalk on what was obviously a slow celebrity day, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee gamely kept her cool as she was hounded by pushy press and bright, flashing bulbs. She seemed fine if a little frazzled in the middle of the media crush, but she was all on her own until a single heroine stepped forth.
Found out who saved McPhee - and how - by viewing the video after the jump.
