A tipsy Jessica Simpson gets a hand from Tony Romo as she tries to get in the car after seeing 80s metal band Metalskool perform at The Key Club on the Sunset Strip.

Late Monday night, LAPD officers reported to Britney’s gated community, where photographers had apparently breached security. Brit was outside the gate, barefoot, in a screaming match with Sam Lutfi.

Brit later returned home, where her mother and father both arrived to speak with her. She then left the house in an SUV, headed towards Beverly Hills, with another photographer, believed to be Adnan’s pal Filipe Teixeira. (We have those pics here.)

Britney later jumped out of the SUV and into Adnan Ghalib’s car. I guess they’re back on.

Then, to top things off, Brit and Adnan got a flat tire, so they used to down time to smoke cigarettes in the car.

According to a statement from Adnan’s photo agency:

“The truth is that Sam Lutfi started an argument with Britney and the two ended up in a screaming fight. Sam continued to verbally abuse Britney as she sat barefoot on the curb at her Summit home crying holding her dog London. Britney called Adnan for help and he heard the distress in her voice and drove to the Summit immediately. While outside the gates he was denied access as Sam Lutfi had informed the guards that he was not allowed entry. When Adnan then tried to call Britney it seems that Sam had turned all of her cell phones off.”

Oh, Britney. I don’t even know what to say any more.

While her sister’s cranking out fashion misses like crazy, Nicky Hilton’s look has been a series of home runs lately.

She and mom Kathy went shopping on Melrose on Monday.

Filming of Michelle Williams’s next movie, Blue Valentine, has been put on hold while the actress copes with the death of her fiance Heath Ledger.

“We will hold off until she is ready,” says a source connected with the film. “The production is in the process of sorting it out in respect to her.”

The film co-stars Ryan Gosling, whom Michelle was rumored to be dating.

“We’re hoping she will still come back and do the film and are happy to wait,” the source says. “The film is tailor made for those two so of course we would want to wait. You can’t get much better than them.”

Apparently this is going to become a habit.

After ditching paparazzo fling Adnan Ghalib, Britney hit up a Ralphs in LA with paparazzo Felipe Teixeira.

Look at him carrying her purse! How sweet!

He’s seeing dollar signs.

Hooray!

Looks like the Grammys will move forward, even with the WGA strike.

In a brief statement, the Writers Guild of America announced Monday that it has inked an interim deal with the Recording Academy allowing scribes to work on the nonsinging parts of the show.

“Professional musicians face many of the same issues that we do concerning fair compensation for the use of their work in new media,” said Writers Guild of America West President Patric M. Verrone.

“In the interest of advancing our goal of achieving a fair contract, the WGAW Board felt that this decision should be made on behalf our brothers and sisters in the American Federation of Musicians and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.”

Babs announced today that she’s received word from Sam Lutfi that Britney’s been receiving help for “mental issues which are treatable.”

“She has been to a psychiatrist,” Walters said, recounting Lutfi’s explanation over the phone. “She, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment.”

Also, Mama Spears landed in LA on Sunday night. Perhaps we can get some help for this girl yet!
