Let’s Link this Through

Yup, the Spiderman 3 trailer leaked. Enjoy. [Derek Hail]

TomKat and Suri the Fake Baby (looking fake as can be), arrive in Rome for the contractually mandated wedding of the century. [Glitterati]

Leann Rimes sides with Faith Hill on the whole Carrie-Underwood-sucks issue. Classy. [Tabloid Whore]

Holy crap, stop the presses. Jude and Sienna broke up. For the eight billionth time. I honestly do not remember them getting back together. I’m sure I wrote about it, but I have some sort of Jude-Sienna mental filter that keeps that sort of info from sticking. I’m glad of it. [The Superficial]

This constant stream of Anna Nicole stories makes me want to mix methadone with antidepressants, too. The power company pulled the plug on her place in the Bahamas yesterday. [Allie is Wired]

Vogue doesn’t want pictures of Britney Spears’ baby. Not even for free. Damn. [HGW]

A little treat for the straight guys who stop by on occasion/accident: Alessandra Ambrosia photo explosion over at CelebSlam. [CelebSlam]

K-Fed Shopping a Britney Sex Tape?

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

Hell hath no fury like Kevin Federline scorned. Britain’s News of the World reports that Britney’s soon-to-be ex-hubby is shopping a four-hour sex tape the two recorded at the beginning of their relationship, and that he’s already been offered nearly $33.5M for the footage by an Arizona company. He’s hoping for a pay-off from Britney in exchange for keeping the tape to himself. They also drop the bomb we’ve all been waiting for — that Brit filed divorce papers after catching Federline with another woman.

A K-Fed “pal” is quoted as saying, “This vid is dynamite and Kev knows it.” Firstly: the vid? Is dynamite? This reminds me of the drugs-are-bad videos we watched in elementary school. “Hey, man, wanna smoke a doobie? It’s dynamite! Pop in that tubular Betamax vid and we’ll ride a bogus doobie wave.” (Side note: whenever I need wacky ’80s words, I try to remember the names of the worlds on that last level of Super Mario Brothers. I don’t know what that says about me.)

Britney apparently “fears the raunchy footage will destroy her wholesome image” and “knows a full-on sex video could almost certainly ruin her chance of a career come-back.” Right, because Britney’s image is squeaky clean right now, and a sex tape is no way to launch a career. Just ask Paris Hilton.

They also report that Britney had flown into NYC to join her husband on his tour, but after he stood her up for dinner, she left the restaurant in tears and demanded keys to his hotel room at The Regency. When she let herself into his room, she found Kevin with another woman. It doesn’t sound like they were caught red-handed, but the fact that there was another woman there at all was enough to push Britney over the edge. She filed for divorce the next week.

Recapping Deaderline: Day 3

Friday, November 10th, 2006


Sorry I’m late on this, guys — I decided to take a break from tending to y’all last night to take a stab at a social life. We’ll see how this new experiment goes…

An in-depth review of Britney’s pre-nup shows that she filed for divorce on November 6 for a very good reason: one day later, and she would have had to pay a third year of alimony.

If there is anyone happier about this divorce than the celebrity gossip blogging community, it is, surely, Brit-Brit’s homewreckee, Shar Jackson.

In one more blow to FedEx’s pocketbook, Britney is shopping around pics of Jayden James … for free.

Rumors are circulating that Federline talked about divorcing Britney a month before she filed the papers to divorce him. A likely story.

And, finally, BRITNEY IS BACK IN THE RECORDING STUDIO! Hooray!

Deaderline: Day 2

Thursday, November 9th, 2006


Kevin Federline has responded to Britney Spears’ divorce filing. In the response, he asks for legal and physical custody of the couple’s two children and requests spousal support. He’s going to need it: his album debuted at #151 this week, and he’s dropped the price of tickets to his upcoming show in Chicago to $0.00 (that’s not a typo) after his recent show in NYC barely filled a sixth of the theater.

The ever-vigilant folks at Extra sent a reporter all the way out to Fresno to interview one of Kevin’s buddies from back in the day. He confirms that Federline didn’t hear about the divorce from his wife, and he is confident that Federline’s “rapping” “career” can survive his split from The Brit.

Don’t give up hope yet, Kevin! Jerry Springer — The Opera, a musical theater hit in England, is coming to the U.S. in Spring 2007, and they’re putting together a cast. They’re going to need dancers, Kev, and you’d be perfect.

And the Comment of the Year Award Goes To…

Joy from Pop on the Pop.

At 12:35 PST, Ms. Joy posted the following comment:

“How long do you think it’s gonna take Brit to divorce Federsperm?

He’s doing so bad, he’s really embarassing her.”

The divorce story broke at 1:31 PST that day.

Congrats, Joy!

YOU WANKER! THERE IS NO OTHER NEWS!

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

Have you ever seen The Second Civil War? You haven’t? It’s a 1997 comedy about an immigration issue that spirals into a second U.S. Civil War. It’s funny — you should watch it. (You should get high first.) The point is, there’s a very important scene in this movie: two news anchors are reporting live on camera on the in-progress Civil War. The man says “And, in other news,” and then the woman turns to him and screams “You wanker! There is no other news!” It’s been a running joke among my friends and I since, well, 1997. But it’s ever so fitting, now, as the celeb gossip world begins to wade through the emotional hangover that inevitably follows any Britney Spears Divorce Day. What else could possibly be of any import? I hear murmurings of some political elections that happened yesterday, and it’s possible they even took place in the U.S., but who cares? Britney Spears filed for divorce.

Alas, I have a job to do, and all the other celebs are all alive and well and going about their non-Britney-Spears-divorce business, so here goes:

Anna Nicole sold the video of her C-section. Check out the (very graphic) trailer. [Defamer]

Kanye West didn’t mean to be such a jackass at the MTV Europe VMAs. He was just drunk. So it’s totally okay. [HGW]

Apparently Rosario Dawson and Jason Lewis have been dating for two years. Don’t waste too many brain cells on that, because they split up. [Pop on the Pop]

R&B star Mya suffers a panic attack and is taken to the hospital after eating a marijuana cookie. [CelebSlam]

Oh, right, that election. [CNN]

Recapping Deaderline

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006


Yesterday was a great day to be a celebrity gossip blogger. Not such a great day to be Kevin Federline, but that’s someone else’s problem. As I’m sure you heard about on a gossip website, on a news website, on an Italian soccer website, from a coworker, from your waiter, in an AA meeting, from your 4-year-old child, on NPR, in line for the bathroom and/or from your pharmacist, Britney Spears filed for divorce from Kevin Federline yesterday. Let’s recap some of the highlights of our generation’s D-Day.

TMZ was quick to get ahold of the divorce petition, which demonstrated that Brit-Brit was not actually married on the day we all thought she was, September 18, 2004, but rather on October 6 of that year.

Kevin Federline (who Perez Hilton has brilliantly re-christened as FedEx) was filming an episode of MuchMusic’s Exposed when he got the news (via text-message) that Britney was divorcing him. Check out the video.

So does K-Fed get to coast on Britney’s fortune for the rest of his days? Nope. Brit had an air-tight pre-nup. FedEx gets basically nada.

What about the kids? Britney is asking for full custody. K-Fed may contest that, if only to cash in on the child support, but a quick analysis of the facts shows that things are looking good for Miz B on that front.

What did Britney do Tuesday evening, after the news of her divorce broke? She had dinner with friends in NYC, then went ice-skating with Larry Rudolph, her former manager. She was all smiles and looking fantastico!

And, of course, there’s the question of what finally pushed Brit over the edge. I’m sure more of this will trickle out over the coming weeks (yay!), but, for now, check out this account of their final blow-outs.

Only one thing remains to be said: WELCOME BACK, BRITNEY! We missed ya, girl
