| Britney Spears To Auction Off 2008 VMA Dress For Haiti Relief - MTV Posted: 25 Jan 2010 09:01 AM PST
On Friday, Britney Spears was granted permission by a judge to auction off one of the dresses she wore to the 2008 VMAs to raise funds for Haiti relief. The pop singer was in court to discuss the status of the conservatorship under her father, Jamie, that has been in place for two years.
"She is very enthusiastic about making a donation for the Haiti relief," her lawyer, Samuel Ingham, told Commissioner Reva Goetz. No additional information was given about how and where the dress will be auctioned off, or which charity would benefit from it. At the 2008 VMAs, Brit dazzled in two silver dresses and she hasn't specified which would be auctioned. According to The Associated Press, Spears' father was also granted permission by Goetz to auction off various property and assets belonging to the pop star that no longer benefit the estate, much of which was from the Circus tour. Brit reportedly did not speak at the portion of the hearing that was open to the media. It was her first status meeting since completing her tour. In the meeting, it was decided that no change would be made to Spears' conservatorship. Spears' auction follows several other efforts by celebrities to raise money for Haiti. Friday night's "Hope for Haiti" telethon raised $58 million as of Saturday night. Earlier that day, Canadian superstars like Justin Bieber, Nelly Furtado, Celine Dion and Ryan Reynolds appeared at "Canada for Haiti." And Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus were just added to the star-studded lineup on Simon Cowell's benefit single, a cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts."

| Britney Spears 'Mini-Vacations' With Sons - Post Chronicle Posted: 21 Jan 2010 08:37 AM PST Britney Spears takes regular vacations at a hotel close to her home. Britney Spears, the '3' singer has amazed staff at Los Angeles' Mondrian Hotel by checking in with sons Sean Preston, four, and three-year-old Jayden James - her children with ex-husband Kevin Federline - for a few days every month, even though the building is just a few minutes away from her house. A source at the hotel told The Sun newspaper: "She's no reason to be here. Last time she had staff running around after her kids as they had both caught flu and she had no medicine for them. "She uses the gym, is waited on and she uses the babysitting service." Britney - who is rumoured to have split from her boyfriend of 10 months, Jason Trawick - recently told how she has recently learned to relax more and is feeling much less stressed since her much-publicised breakdown in 2007. She said: "I'm learning to take better care of myself and not get stressed or down about things. I'm taking my time and not letting myself get under any pressure other than to just feel happy about myself and to work on my music. "I want to show people I am a strong woman. I have a lot of great things ahead of me that I want to accomplish." (c) BANG Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |

| Make My Day - American Reporter Posted: 25 Jan 2010 11:05 PM PST Make My Day PARIS FOR PREZ by Erik Deckers American Reporter Humor Writer Indianapolis, Indiana
Printable version of this story INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- It was the snit heard 'round the world. The snarky, scantily-clad video response that got pundits tongues wagging about something other than politics, at least until their wives saw them. Maybe its echo has faded from the news, but it still makes me wake up screaming in the middle of the night. Paris Hilton says she's running for President. The vapid blond heiress and star of "The Simple Life," announced her candidacy in a spoof video on FunnyOrDie.com. Hilton said she was running because that "wrinkly white-haired guy" - John McCain, for those of you emerging from under your rocks - used her image in a television spot against his opponent, presumptive President of the United States, Barack Obama. "Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton, and I'm a celebrity too," she said without a sense of irony or shame. "Only I'm not from the olden days, and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot." Oh man, this is really bad. I've always been a big supporter of third party candidates, but my one litmus test is whether they can even spell "candidate." And that they haven't starred in an Internet sex video/ I swear, if she wins, I'm moving to Canada with Alec Baldwin, unless he chickens out like he did last time. (Big wussy. The guy swore up and down he would move to Canada if George Bush became President, but we're stuck with him and his 17 brothers.) Still, I don't think she's got a real shot, so I'll probably be here for a while. "But then that wrinkly white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which means I guess I'm running for President," she continued. Yeah, right. By that logic, since her boyfriend used her in that sex video, I guess that would make her a slut. . . Uh, oh. This is worse than I thought! Do they get the NFL in Canada? Can I get the Dish Network to work up there? "So thanks for the endorsement, white-haired dude, and I want America to know I'm, like, totally ready to lead." Oh, good, as long as you're totally ready. I mean, we wouldn't want someone who was , like, only concerned about whether certain other world leaders are, like, hot, or whether the White House clashes with her outfits. She'll probably appoint Extreme Makerover's Ty Pennington the Secretary of the Department of the Interior to make sure. "I'll see you at the White House," she concluded. "Oh, and I might paint it pink." Looks like I've got a tough decision to make. Do I go for the big city or the small town? I've been to Toronto, and it's a nice city with a strong arts community. But if I lived in a smaller town, I'd be closer to nature and some really good fishing. Dryden, Ontario is gorgeous in the summer. But even as I pace the floor and gnaw on my fingernails, I have to admit, her energy policy made some sense. "We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight, while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid and electric cars. That way, offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in, which will create new jobs and energy independence. Energy crisis solved. I'll see you at the debates, bitches." But then she, like, totally shot herself in the foot when she said she was considering Rihanna, the R&B artist, as her vice presidential nominee. Come on! Rihanna?! Are you kidding me? Everyone knows she doesn't have the foreign affairs experience needed to re-establish the U.S. as a world leader. Plus, she was born in Barbados, so she's not a natural-born American citizen, which means she can't take on that role. While some people would say Britney Spears, Hilton's fellow celeb and John McCain commercial target, is the emotional favorite, I think Cameron Diaz is the better choice. She can shore up the Hispanic vote and improve relations with Latin America. Of course, you'll also need Ashton Kutcher to head up the Department of Homeland Security (Hey Iran, you've been punk'd!). And what do you think of Scarlett Johansen as the Secretary of State... ? Uh, excuse me. I don't know what came over me. If anything, I'm worrying too much about something that will never happen. Hilton is only 27, eight years too young to run for president, which means I don't have to worry about a global disaster for eight more years. But with her sordid past, I doubt she could even be elected dogcatcher of Putnam County. Besides, I'm hoping Lindsey Lohan will be out of rehab and ready to run for Senate by 2016.
