Britney Runs over 'Paparazzo's' Foot

Hours after losing visitation rights with her two young sons, the struggling pop star apparently ran over the foot of a photographer for celebrity Web site TMZ.com. Spears was driving away from a Beverly Hills medical building, her car surrounded by photographers, when the incident occurred about 5 p.m. Thursday. Sounds like that reporter should be on a diet patch so they can move faster.

"Things happen at certain times and she was just a little impatient," said the man, whose name wasn't released. "She got a little impatient for whatever reason. I say let bygones be bygones."

Gotta respect the guy for not making a big deal out of it in this sue happy world we live in I guess. At least for now...

Britney Spears Turns Herself In

Not to a
commercial collection agency, which she will probably be looking at in the future the way she is going, but to the police. On Monday night, Spears reported to a Los Angeles police station to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license, police said.

Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in around 9 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later. Spears was fingerprinted and photographed, he said.

"She was fine, cooperative," Lopez said. "She did her business and came out."

"They were nice," she said of police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.

The charges stem from an Aug. 6 wreck during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.

Who is your favorite band?

I'm pretty much a rocker type music listener, and more precisely I like classic rock and alternative, but I have a lot of musical interests. It is tough for me to pick one band that I like the most, but I would have to say it is The Doors currently.

The other reason I bring this up is because I am thinking of picking up some Van Halen tickets soon because a friend of mine is a huge fan and they put on one hell of a show. Definitely one of the better groups that has ever been formed. I tend to like the David Lee Roth Van Halen, but my buddy is more of a fan of the Sammy Hagar era.

Silver Bells

Is it almost time for Christmas shopping to begin? Well for many it probably is, but why would I talk about silver at this time of year? The demand for silver has been exceeding production every for for the past seventeen years and it continues to do so. The increased demand makes the investment in silver one that should be a good one. Basic supply and demand economics states that when people want more of something than there is of it, the value will rise. Silver is in this situation right now.

Through Monex Deposit Company you can purchase silver or other precious metals for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s silver and precious metals investment leader.

Jay Leno regretting retirement announcement?

Recently it was said that Leno was going retire and that NBS is going to hand over the reigns to his late night show to Conan O'Brien. Leno I guess is upset that Conan will be given the show. I'd rather watch a show selling diamond rings than to watch Leno, but apparently he is the most popular late night show there is. A recent poll on AOL says that both Leno and Letterman are more popular than Conan. I find this utterly ridiculous. There is no way that anyone in the 18-40 market would rather watch these 2 has beens over Conan. This is what NBC was betting on when they decided to try and keep Conan here when Leno retires in 2009. Leno agreed to Conan replacing him so that NBC could keep him at the network.

Britney gets kid 1 night a week

I don't think we'll be hearing any Britney birth announcements anytime soon. I wonder if they would just take the kid right out of the delivery room and put them into foster care.

L.A. County Court Commissioner Scott Gordon partially accepted her lawyer's plea to give Spears monitored overnight visitation. Spears, who was in court, was sworn in as the afternoon hearing began. She testified, but we don't know what she said.

Spears left the courtroom visibly upset. The overnight visits will be monitored. The parties have not reached an agreement on choosing a different monitor than the one who is already in place. more

Madonna Nears New $120 Million Deal

Looks like Madonna will have plenty of money for the kid's animal print bedding now. I know she was really struggling to make ends meet. So glad she was able to get herself at least some money to feed her family.

Pop star Madonna is close to leaving her long-time Warner Bros. Records label for a wide-ranging $120 million deal with concert promotion firm Live Nation Inc., a source familiar with the talks said Wednesday.

The story was first reported on the Wall Street Journal's Web site, which said Madonna would receive a mix of cash and stock in exchange for allowing Live Nation to distribute three studio albums, promote concert tours, sell merchandise and license her name. full story

Imus is back

After getting canned for calling the Rutgers female basketball team "nappy-headed hos", Imus has been with out work for some time. No more. His mailboxes have been full of offers apparently and he is ready to get back on the airwaves on December 1st.

WABC has hired Imus for the morning spot, currently occupied by Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby.Imus, recently settled a wrongful-termination lawsuit with his former employers for a reported $20 million.

When asked about Imus' new show, Rutgers women's coach Vivian Stringer said, "He has every right to go back on the air."

'Ebony and Ivory' Named Worst Duet Ever

Yeah...this song is kind of silly. Pretty surprising that it was named the worst duet ever though. This song wasn't exactly unpopular and there ahve been some really bad duets in the past. Someone probably was out there singing about kitchen faucets, or even some sort of Island in the Sea. That song is probably in the same mold as this one was and that isn't mentioned as bad, but one of the best!

In a BBC rankings deal these were the other worst duets:

Runner-Up: 'You're the One That I Want'
Arthur Mullard and Hilda Baker

Other Hideous Duets:
3. 'Dancing in the Street' -- Mick Jagger and David Bowie
4. 'Little Drummer Boy' -- Bing Crosby and David Bowie
5. 'Save Your Love' -- Rene and Renata
6. 'The Girl Is Mine' -- Paul McCartney a Michael Jackson

Some of the Best were:

1. 'Foggy Dew'--Sinead O'Connor and The Chieftains
2.'Fairytale of New York'--Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues
3. 'Under Pressure' -- Queen and David Bowie
4. 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' -- Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
5. 'Walk This Way' -- Run DMC and Aerosmith
6. 'Islands in the Stream' -- Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
