It was a week of parties in Tinseltown this week with everything from babies to (appropriately) birthdays being celebrated. Stars dressed up in their very finest million dollar dresses, suits, and jewelry to attend some of the very classiest, and not so classy, affairs. And as always, the paparazzi were there to catch all of it! Here were the hot spots in Hollywood this week.

Of the two most popular baby showers this week, there was the shower for Jamie Lynn Spears. Sister Britney flew in for it and even though there were still those that were still trying to find something wrong with Britney, really the worse thing she did was smoke. It was nice that she was able to make it to celebrate the coming of her sister’s child. Jamie Lynn looked very happy too!

But that wasn’t the only baby shower this week. Tori Spelling also had a baby shower to prepare for welcoming her second little one. I’m sorry but aren’t you only supposed to have a baby shower for your first? Isn’t it considered a cash grab after that point?

And George Clooney was beaming with girlfriend Sarah Larson on his arm at the birthday party that Giorgio Armani threw for him. But they weren’t the only power couple there. Others included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as well as Victoria and David Beckham.

Britney Spears went back to court today with her ex Kevin Federline to review her visitation situation and see if there was room for improvement. Turns out, there is. Britney has been doing a lot of work the past few months to restore her name and stop acting so freakin crazy! Love her or hate her, you gotta admit that she’s made a vast improvement! And today was further proof of that. From Contact Music,

“Britney Spears has won a boost in her child custody battle following a hearing in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning.
Sealed documents were reviewed in a closed court session, and though the existing custodial arrangement remains in place between the singer and her ex-husband Kevin Federline both parties insist there has been progress.
Spears‘ custody rights were suspended in January after police and emergency services were called to the singer’s home after she refused to hand over one of her sons to a Federline bodyguard following a visitation period.
Ever since then Spears has been fighting to regain visitation. The arrangement was modified a month ago when Federline agreed his troubled ex could spend time with their sons again as long as the visits were properly supervised.
And speaking outside court after Tuesday’s hearing, Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan called the court meeting “a step going forward” for both his client and Spears.
He said, “The order that was in place has remained in place but there has been a graduated expansion of time.”

The exact length of time is unknown as all parties were fairly quiet on the subject but rumor has it that Britney will have three days a week with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Let’s hope she continues on this path. Whatever you think of her, it’s always better to let kids see a happy and healthy mom!

It’s too bad that just when you think that a new “good girl” has come to Hollywood, they seem to blow it by appearing on the Internet or in a magazine with their body hanging all over the place. And such is the case with Miley Cyrus. She recently did a photo shoot for Vanity Fair in which Annie Leibovitz shot her in at least one provocative pose in which Miley was clearly not wearing a shirt and her top half could have easily been exposed. She says in USA Today,

“I think it’s really artsy. It wasn’t in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie. She’s so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you’re like, ‘OK.’ “

But then Miley decided once the photos came out that maybe they weren’t so “artsy” after all and that they veered more toward the “skanky” side. In her next statement she said,

“I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” she said in a statement issued by her publicist, Jill Fritzo. “I never intended for any of this to happen, and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

It’s unfortunate that with young woman such as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears giving young female celebritites such a bad name in Hollywood that people are forced to look to a 15 year old girl for a role model. Isn’t she supposed to have role models and not be a role model? She may be a little young still to tell the difference between artsy and skanky and it’s probably best not to take photos just because someone asks you nicely.

Despite a lack of coverage on the tragic and troubled couple, Kathy Griffin, known for her non-entertaining and ultimately boring show, “My Life On The D-List,” says that they are still an item. Kathy’s been hanging around with Adnan for an episode of her show, and says that Adnan was getting calls from Britney on his cell. From InTouch:

“Britney Spears’ relationship with photographer Adnan Ghalib has been on and off many times, and now Kathy Griffin confirms the former couple is still in contact. Kathy, who recently spent time with the British paparazzo for a hotly anticipated episode of her hit show My Life on the D-List, tells In Touch that it’s not over yet. “As far as I know, Britney is still attracted to him,” she says. The revelation is surprising since the pair has not been spotted publicly together since her father, Jamie Spears, took control of her life weeks ago. Kathy says she was shocked by “the astonishing number of calls Adnan took from a ‘private caller’ whose name rhymes with Prlitney Splears,” during the afternoon they spent together shopping at Victoria’s Secret. But Britney, 26, has been keeping her options open, too, since she’s been getting close to ex-husband Kevin Federline lately. In an unrelated incident, Adnan, 35, was reportedly treated by medics on the evening of April 12 after he was said to have sustained a knife wound to his arm, a black eye and facial lacerations. According to a report, Adnan claims he doesn’t know who attacked him but is “doing okay.” Britney and Adnan reportedly called it quits in March. “He drives like a maniac,” Kathy says of Adnan, and jokes, “I took a Dramamine!””

Whoa, whoa. Some random person attacked poor Adnan? Awww. My guess is that Jamie Spears paid off someone to beat the crap out of Adnan to keep him from hanging around Britney. So, despite a lack of actual public together-ness, and reports that in March the two were calling it quits, Kathy claims the two are still knee deep in romance. As well as that Adnan drive like a lunatic.

And this is really what the whole conflict comes down to. Remember when you were in school and your mom says “That boy/girl is a bad influence! Don’t let me see you hanging around him/her!”? That’s the whole Sam Lutfi/Britney Spears issue in a nutshell. Britney Spears‘ parents both agree that Sam Lutfi and their daughter should not associate, and they’ve even issued a restraining order on Sam to keep him at bay. From InTouch:

“Britney Spears‘ former BFF and onetime manager, Sam Lutfi, has agreed to stay away from the singer until July 31. Sam was issued a restraining order in February after Brit’s mom, Lynne Spears, accused him of drugging the singer. Restraining orders can be extended up to five years, according to legal experts. In the meantime, Britney’s father, Jamie, and a lawyer retain their conservatorship of her estate until July 31, when it will be reviewed by the court. Their control is expected to be extended.”

So around early August or late July, Britney might be getting either further control from her parents, or more independence. At this point, it’s really hard to say what Britney’s best interests even are, though it appears that her father’s conservatorship over her property and self, might be helping. Perhaps in August, Britney might make some turn-around. Things have already quietened down a lot in that area, and she’s even been invited back to “How I Met Your Mother.”

Britney Spears has been well on her way to recovery lately. She’s on medication for bipolar disorder, has regained visitation with her sons and seems to no longer be into doing things such as shaving her head or holding her children hostage. With all of these wonderful steps forward, it seems that Britney wants to make things right once and for all by going back to where it all started to go so wrong - with her divorce from Kevin Federline.

The two recently spent a romantic weekend together in Hawaii and Britney began talks of them getting back together and raising their family as two parents in love. She also gave him a very expensive Jacob & Co. diamond-encrusted watch. From digital spy,

“Britney’s father James, who is also acting as her conservator, and mother Lynne are said to be thrilled by their reconciliation.

“[James] personally approved the mini-vacation and birthday present purchases,” a source told the Daily Star Sunday. “There is nothing more he and Brit’s mom Lynne would love than for her and Kevin to get back together.

“Kevin’s whole attitude to his ex-wife has changed. He can see she is responding to treatment for her bipolar disorder, staying sober and trying to rebuild her life and career.”

While I don’t care much for Federline, and I have begun to lose faith in Britney, I do think it would be great if these two could find their way back to each other. Their two children deserve parents that are happy, together, and sober.

Stars in Tinseltown are always hooking up, breaking up, and getting back together it seems. It’s hard to know what’s rumour and what’s fact but there are some stories that just can’t be denied. Here are this week’s stories of stars that are making a love reconnection, as well as the ones that will never again make any kind of connection.

One couple that we will never again see gazing into each other’s eyes are Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. Brown has just come out with a book revealing everything, and I mean everything about his marriage to Whitney. The book includes stories about his drug use and how he cheated on her. If you catch these two staring at each other, you can bet they’re giving each other the stare of death.

But are they or aren’t they? It’s reported that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline may be reuniting after they spent a weekend away together and Jamie Spears has also been rumoured to have been trying to convince K-Fed to go back to Britney. Now that’s embarrasing.

And there’s no talk yet of Jessica Simpson getting back together with her ex John Mayer but there’s a lot of talk about how much she wants to. Is she that stupid that she’s forgotten about her relationship with Tony Romo?

And perhaps the most embarrasing reunion of all is that of the New Kids on the Block. Let’s all give one big , “HA!” They must have run out of money because what else could have possibly possessed this group to think it was a good idea to reunite? If you take away “New” (because they’re not), and you also take away “Kids” (because they’re not), you have “on the Block.” And everyone knows that when you’re “on the Block,” it’s only a matter of time.

Britney Spears has been making great headway lately on her road to recovery. The first step was when her father, Jamie Spears took conservatorship of her estate. After that, she really seemed to be cleaning up her act. She started teaching children dance, she was allowed visitation again with her two young boys, and Britney even stepped back into the right kind of spotlight by appearing on the show How I Met Your Mother, which afterwards she sold her wardrobe from the set and gave all the proceeds to charity. Things were really looking up.

But all of that came to a grinding halt on Monday when a judge in the California Court of Appeal decided that the conservatorship of Britney’s estate should remain in her father’s hands for a little while longer. From People,

“On March 11, attorney, Jon Eardley, who claimed to represent the pop star, filed the appeal to challenge Jamie Spears’s role. Eardley has not been available for comment since Boren’s decision.

On Feb. 14 Eardley filed a civil-rights challenge to the conservatorship, leaving the case in limbo for nearly two weeks – until a federal judge declined to hear it.

Jamie Spears was named co-conservator of his daughter’s estate on Feb. 1 following her second hospitalization in a psychiatric facility, when it was determined she was unable to care for herself. His control is in effect until July 31.

In addition to a $58,800 payment to the conservatorship for attorney fees and other costs, Jamie was given weekly payments of $2,500 and the authority to tap his daughter’s funds to lease a car for her security team. The pop star also cannot leave California before a scheduled April 7 hearing without permission from the court or from her father.”

Jamie Spears is undoubtedly tickled by the dismissal since he has more pocket money than Britney herself these days. Even if he is making a good deal of cash out of it, I do think this decision is for the best. Britney is a troubled girl and although it’s good to see her starting to make some of the right moves, it did all begin with her dad taking control of things. It would be a mistake at this point to hand the reins back over to Britney and see it all go to hell again. Hopefully by the end of July, the pop star really will have her life back together and she can finally take charge of her own decisions once again. And hopefully, the choices she makes at that time will be the right ones.

Britney Spears, be-all and end-all of bad Hollywood mothers, has been trying to improve her image. First, she cleaned up her act enough to get back her visitation with her two boys and now she has made a guest appearance on the sit-com How I Met Your Mother. Not only may this do good things for her career, which I’m sure was the original motivation but Spears will also be donating the wardrobe she wore on set to charity. From People,

“A least six items of clothing from the pop star’s wardrobe on the show will be auctioned off to benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council, according to the Associated Press.

The auction will begin Monday, right after the episode starring Spears airs on CBS.

Producers of the show sponsored the sale, which will include a navy print Juicy Couture dress, a yellow Nannette Lepore dress and a cream Nannette Lepore cardigan with blue flower details, all worn by Spears during filming.“

Hopefully this will speak to Spears’ new outlook on life and will only be foreshadowing of the improvements she is about to make on her life and how it affects those in it. It could just be a publicity stunt as well but even so, if she’s going to make these kinds of stunts that benefit other people, more power to her.

Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon supposedly made the mutual decision to divorce, according to Ryan. I have an idea that Ryan might have wanted a divorce so he could feel free to pursue more celebrity booty, and Reese wanted a divorce because she was sick of him cheating on her. But he says that’s not so! Ryan denies pretty much all of his hook-ups. From Us Magazine:

“Ryan Phillippe wishes ex wife Reese Witherspoon happiness with her new beau Jake Gyllenhaal.

“He’s a good dude,” Phillippe said on The Howard Stern Show Thursday. “I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is.”

Phillippe described his 2007 divorce from Witherspoon as a “mutual” decision.

“Leading up to it, we had been spending so much time apart,” he explained. “That’s a huge part of it. There are so many obstacles.”

The Stop-Loss star, 33, spent much of the interview denying hook-ups with an array of famous women.

A make-out session with Britney Spears in May 2007? “Not true,” the actor said.

Hooking up with Ashlee Simpson in March 2007? “Again, not true,” Phillippe responded. “I stood next to her at a place called Les Deux, a club in Los Angeles.”

Sex with his I Know What You Did Last Summer costar Jennifer Love Hewitt? “I did not have sex with [her],” he said. “It did occur to me. She was very young and her mother was there all the time… but I was in a hot tub with her when she was 18.”

“I know Lindsay Lohan wanted you,” Stern pressed.

“Yeah,” Phillippe responded.

Phillippe conceded to Stern that Angelina Jolie is “probably” the hottest actress he’s filmed a love scene with.

“Is she very sexual?” Stern asked.

“I would think so, yeah,” Phillippe responded, though he also denied hooking up with the actress while they filmed 1998’s Playing By Heart.”

Howard Stern is such a skeez; it’s not a wonder he wanted Ryan Phillippe on his show. Two guys, that have no respect for women, sitting around, chatting it up. On the other hand, Ryan might be telling the truth about his affairs, and them being nonexistent. At least he’s putting on a happy face for Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal.

It’s not that she keeps getting fatter; it’s that her belly just looks very pregnant. Is it a baby bump, or lasagna? Another baby is definitely not what Britney needs right now, and I don’t mean to offend all you Papists out there, but if she is pregnant, Britney needs to make a Planned Parenthood visit stat. From L.A. Rag Mag:

“Why so sad Brit? You are rich and famous, and even still sorta pretty and talented… sorta. Oh, and you have kids, remember?

What is going on with our favorite “cool mom”? Britney Spears continues to keep everyone guessing as to whether or not she’s expecting a third child. When we see these pictures it keeps us guessing, but remember people: she is a druggie; she likes to eat when she is coming down. It helps… trust us.

If she is prego, she hasn’t changed her lifestyle. Coloring and bleaching that hay on her head and even eating sushi. Aren’t the ladies with babies on board supposed to avoid raw fish?

Oh well, she is a cool mom. Keep smoking and get that hair colored, you are looking much better… but fatter.”

It’s true that Britney is definitely starting to look a little less, “crawled out from underneath a rock” but, I concur that she is getting bigger. Hopefully, Spears is just gaining some weight, and eventually she’ll work it off again. Not a bad thing, she was looking pretty haggard before.

I guess not even glamour and fame can protect your health. It’s true that sometimes even the big Hollywood celebs get sick. Here are the stars that have been recently battling some sort of sickness. Some serious, some not so serious and some that I can’t even believe made it to the headlines.

Nicole Richie’s fiance and baby daddy, Joel Madden is thought to have cataracts. These make him more sensitive to bright lights and so he usually will be seen wearing sunglasses.

Salma Hayek is currently over her health issues, at least until she decides to have another baby. The Hayek suffered from gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with her baby girl. Although she appears to be back in full health, this type of diabetes is not only known to recur with a subsequent pregnancy, it can also place the person at risk for Type 2 diabetes.

Valerie Bertinelli who has been busy promoting her new book that goes into great detail about her marriage to Eddie Van Halen won’t give up any information about his illness. The details of what he’s suffering from are unknown but he is undergoing tests and he has beaten cancer before.

And moving on to mental health issues, although Britney Spears has been showing signs of improvement, it’s still not enough for the courts who is keeping her father as conservator for the troubled star until July 31.

And lastly, it came out this past week that Patrick Swayze is suffering from pancreatic cancer. No scandal involved here, but heartbreaking nonetheless. We can only hope that his treatments are going as well as his reps are saying they are. He is currently travelling to Stanford University’s cancer centre every day, with his wife Lisa Niemi.

Despite recent reports of Jamie Lynn Spears being troubled about all the attention her sister, Britney Spears was getting, instead of her, Jamie Lynn is a happy mommy-to-be. By the way, those bastards at the “crisis clinic” had better hope and pray that they don’t get sued. Turning away a teen with a crisis? Assholes. Anyway, Jamie Lynn’s happiness is, for the most part, what counts. Sources are saying that Jamie Lynn is having a boy, which is pretty amazing, considering the fact that Britney has sons as well. The sisters should probably consider themselves pretty lucky; at least they won’t have to suffer through a repeat of their own decisions. From In Touch:

“Looks like it could be another grandson for Jamie and Lynne Spears. According to reports, their youngest daughter (and sister of Britney) Jamie Lynn is getting ready for a baby boy. The young mommy-to-be was spotted at luxury baby boutique Petit Trésor in West Hollywood on February 25 picking up presents for a baby boy and has also purchased about $7,000 of “very basic” furniture for a nursery, including a round crib, changing table and armoire, all in white. “This is the most fun I’ve had shopping in a long time!” Jamie Lynn was overheard saying. ”

I know we here at HH are at least happy that Jamie Lynn is less depressed at this point, and hopefully, she’ll continue to be positive. However, in no way, shape or form does that mean that the situation either sister has been placed in by their own choices is appropriate. The fact that Jamie Lynn is building a nursery also establishes that she plans to keep the baby, which should make for interesting news later. Sorry Britney, but most of us are hoping she does a better job with her kid than you; sad but true.

While the entire world seems to be trying to think of solutions to help Britney Spears, that doesn’t seem to be the case for pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears, who is having a hard time with her pregnancy. She has been having severe morning sickness and because she’s gained weight. She is  upset that her mother and father are spending so much time trying to get Britney back to good mental health while she is left at home and having to turn to a crisis centre for help. From Page Six,

“the 16-year-old turned to the Crisis Pregnancy Center of Southwest Mississippi for help on Friday. “

According to a family insider, Jamie Lynn is frustrated that her mother is focusing so much of her energy on her older sister. “Jamie Lynn wants her parents to stop babying Britney,” the source says.

“It is stressful for Lynne and Jamie because they know Britney is in trouble and they want Jamie Lynn to understand it. The teenager was turned away at the Crisis Pregnancy Center because the facility was not open.”

Jamie Lynn is also  concerned about the fact that she has already gained twenty pounds and Page Six also says,

“For a lot of women it’s not big deal, but for a 16-year-old, it has stressed her out.”

There are just so many things wrong with this picture. Yes, her parents need to be with her big sister but I believe that they also need to realize that they do have a younger daughter at home that is going through something very major as well. Why do they both need to be with Britney? And as Page Six also reports, when Jamie Lynn went the crisis centre was closed, the director of the facility stated,

“I don’t know why Jamie Lynn Spears would come here on a Friday. We’re closed. Jamie Lynn’s not in our Mommy and Me program or taking parenting classes with us. I don’t know why she would come. She hasn’t contacted us about coming here or ever called. She’s never made a financial donation or anything like that.”

Now I realize that there probably wasn’t anything the centre could do about being closed. But did they have to speak about Jamie Lynn like she’s some kind of idiot because of it? And this crisis centre, that is funded by a church, is laughing at people for going because they’re not part of their Mommy and me program? Oh, am I sorry, wasn’t it also because Jamie Lynn has never given them any money? They should be ashamed of themselves.

The parents of the Spears girls need to realize that they have two daughters. And while Jamie Lynn may just outwardly be concerned about her nausea and weight gain, she is a sixteen-year-old girl about to become a parent! She may have a little more going on in her head that she could really use her parent’s help with. God, it’s no wonder Britney’s so screwed up!

Well, smart may be a bit of a stretch but it does look like she may be jumping off the crazy train. Of course we all know that Britney is back visiting her boys and that her father, Jamie Spears is pretty much in control of everything she does. All of this may be doing some good as Britney recently dumped her short-time beau Adnan Ghalib. Britney managed to get a hold of his cell phone and apparently there were all kinds of text messages on there that were more than just friendly little chats between friends. Britney’s reaction was to throw his cell phone into the pool as Adnan watched. Celebedge reports,

“Britney lost it and started yelling,” an insider told the Sun. “She was demanding to know who sent the texts and shouting, ‘What’s this about? You’re cheating on me.’” Adnan swore up and down they were just from a friend, but their content was described as “saucy stuff with sexual references” by the paper’s insider.”

Well, good for Britney. Maybe she really is starting to wake up and realize that if you’re going to date someone who was married at the time of your hook-up, he’s probably not such a stand-up guy.

When will the retarded desk jockies over at Social Services finally get off of Britney Spears‘ ass and take a closer look at the infamous child collector, Angelina Jolie. Tell me, please, mothers of the world, where and when is it ever appropriate for a mother of a six year old, to buy their child gum that says “I [heart] My Penis”? Can someone please explain this to me? From Us Magazine:

“The day before Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt finalized their adoption of 4-year-old son Pax, Angelina spent the afternoon with son Maddox, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

After treating him to a matinée of The Spiderwick Chronicles at Hollywood’s ArcLight theater, they hit the gift shop.

Six-year-old Maddox picked out a pack of gum labeled “I [Heart] My Penis.”

“[Angelina] laughed and bought it,” a witness told Us.

Check out the latest issue of Us Weekly for more on how Angelina stood up Jennifer Aniston and maintains the power over her.”

Absolutely ridiculous. It’s not prudish, or oppressive to know when to say “No,” to your kids. Something like that for a child barely over the age of kindergarten is not appropriate. Kids certainly should not be ashamed of their genitals, or taught that it’s bad to have them, or anything. But come on. Christ on a cracker. Show of hands, ladies, how many of you would actually buy this for your kid at that age?

Although a court hearing on Tuesday brought forth no changes in the Britney Spears and Kevin Federline custody suit, on Saturday changes were made so that Britney could have visitation rights again. For the first time since January 3, Britney had a three-hour visit with her sons. Sean Preston, who is 2, and Jayden James, 1, were both allowed to hang out with their mom for three hours this past weekend.

Although the visit was supervised by Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears and Britney’s psychiatrist, it’s good that she is back with her boys. Several positive changes have taken place in Britney’s life that made this move happen. The first being that her dad took over conservatorship over her estate and finances and for that reason alone, her life has had some drastic improvement.

Kevin Federline was also happy to see his boys back with their mom for a visit. US Magazine says,

“Mr. Federline looks forward to his children having their mom in their life. Federline is doing everything that he can to make up for the fact that the boys are with him and keeping family around and trying to have them not aware that there’s any change whatsoever.”

It’s great that Britney seems to be making some positive changes to get her life back in order. It’s even better that she has her boys back for visitation. Hopefully, she is starting on the road of recovery and will remain there permanently.

That’s pretty rough, I know, but wow. Like, to hell with all the partial panty-less shots of Paris, and Britney. Jerry Hall, the ex-supermodel, flaunts her stuff, for all to see. Nice. From The National Enquirer:

“Even though Jerry agreed to annul her marriage to the rock star nine years ago, the former supermodel, 51, still is hot for 64-year-old Mick, pals say.

And when the couple -who have four children together - both showed up at a party at London’s Nobu restaurant in early February, 6-foot-tall Jerry flashed her famously long legs to reveal she’d “gone commando!”

“Jerry was wearing a black below-the-knee dress and black stockings,” said an insider. When she flashed Mick, at first he was shocked, but then he laughed it off.”

Texas-born Jerry is aware the wrinkly rock has been romantically involved with 43-year-old designer L’Wren Scott - who stands a towering 6-foot-4 - for the past six years, says the insider.”

Who wouldn’t flash their vag at Mick Jagger? My god, he’s amazing. “Wrinkly”? Pht. Mick Jagger is still the hottest thing since Zippo. Jerry Hall isn’t doing too bad herself either. Despite being in that show, “Kept” where she got to choose a boytoy from a bunch of contestants, the winner said he never talked to her again and thought she was too old. Lame. Jerry Hall is hawt, despite being 51.

Gotcha! But in all fairness, did it really surprise you all that much? Alright, so Britney Spears isn’t really going steady with her father in the romantic sense of the phrase. She and Jamie Spears were seen however, enjoying some father-daughter time during a dinner date. From Us Magazine:

“The singer, 26, and her father Jamie - whose co-conservatorship over her was recently extended until March 10 — hit Hollywood restaurant Social Hollywood shortly before 8 p.m.

She wore diamond earrings and a chocolate brown dress with spaghetti straps; her father carried her fur coat for her.

They spent more than two hours dining before calling it a night.

Though Spears‘ relationship with her father appears to be improving, one celeb says she wouldn’t mind taking over parenting duties for the troubled pop singer.

“She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months,” Heidi Klum says in a new interview with German broadcaster ARD. “I would help set her straight.

“I am sorry when a young person gets thrown so off track,” Klum says, according to a transcript obtained by the Associated Press. “She has, of course, lived an extremely wild life.”"

It’s good to see that there’s at least some speculation about Britney’s family life improving. Right now, she can use all the support she can get. That’s not to say, let a bunch of people related to her take responsibility for her. It’s more along the lines of defending and helping her keep a on a solid path to doing better for herself.

You know, the first time I saw the picture of Britney Spears, driving with her kid in her lap, I was kind of nostalgic about my own childhood. Who the hell hasn’t been in their parents’ lap while they were driving? It’s actually like a traditional American pastime to teach your kids to drive that way. Anyway, it hardly matters. Take a look at the above picture, and tell me what you see wrong. At least Britney’s kid was in the front of the car. The Beckhams‘ kids weren’t even lucky enough to ride in the trunk. From In Touch:

” We don’t know what they do in Great Britain, but in this country children as young as David and Victoria Beckham’s sons (Brooklyn is 8 and Romeo is 5) shouldn’t be crammed into a sports car like this. Let’s hope Becks didn’t actually drive with the kids like that.”

Am I the only one who notices the plaintive look on David and Victoria Beckham’s kid’s face as he stares plaintively at the camera? He looks like one of those damn kids from Ethiopia. My guess is, he’d like to ride in the front seat. Or at least in the trunk. Say what you will about Britney Spears, and redneck parenting, but my mom never made me ride in a place where you couldn’t even comfortably fit a medium-sized dog. Nice going, Becks!
