Report: Britney Spears Serves Papers to Her Mother to Keep Her Away From Kids

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:20:44 +0000

Britney had tracked down her mom with the help of the paparazzi who are never far from her side.

The singer's bodyguards had asked some of the fotogs who camp outside her Beverly Hills home if they knew the whereabouts of Lynne Spears.

When the shutterbugs said the elder Spears was holed up nearly an hour away at a TV studio in Valencia, the singer grabbed her two kids — Sean Preston, 21 months, and Jayden James, 9 months — and hit the road in her Mercedes.

Review: Softly strikes pleasant, if short, key

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:20:44 +0000

Air Force Academy Band musicians are among the states best. So its a pleasant surprise to hear one on his own, doing what he loves best which is the case with Softly, a recent solo piano CD by Andrew Benton.

Softly is true to its title. Its low-key enough to serve as dinner music, but artful enough to reward close listening.

The 10 songs range from J.S. Bach to Britney Spears yet they hang together, unified by Bentons contemplative, subtle approach. The songs are mostly slow, and even the occasional up-tempo number such as the Armstrong, Pritchard and Wright Good Riddance is played with a light, subdued tone.

As a society we have to ask ourselves: what are we feeding our children? This is not intended to be a discussion about mechanically separated chicken or high-fructose corn syrup. No, another kind of food: music. It is, after all, the singular most powerful expression of the human soul.

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:20:44 +0000

All things ASCAP were the buzz of Music Row this week as the performing rights organization sponsored a golf tournament and hosted two No. 1 parties.The week kicked off with more than 250 soggy music industry VIPs at the 20th annual Music Row Ladies Golf Tournament at Old Natchez Country Club in Franklin. The players with tee times before lunch escaped summer showers, but those who hit the course after lunch got soaked.

"Playing in the rain made it more fun," said Jensen Sussman, manger of publicity at Equity Music Group who played on the Equity Music Group team. "It's a great story."After all, Sussman pointed out, the tournament isn't exactly for serious golfers."I play golf once a year for the tournament," she said. "Last year, I had a great swing but I couldn't make contact with the ball to save life. It's just a lot of fun. Music Row shuts down, and all the women go play and the men caddy for you. It's a gr...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Paris Hilton told CNN's Larry King she would never again drink and drive and that her time in jail was "a time-out in life."

In her first televised interview since leaving jail, a demure Hilton said Wednesday that even though she's an Aquarius and "we're social people," her time behind bars taught her "there's a lot more important things in life" than partying.

"I'm frankly sick of it," Hilton said, with loose, re-blonded locks and camera-ready makeup. "I've been going out for a long time now. Yeah, it's fun, but it's not going to be the mainstay of my life anymore."

ELLEN GOODMAN: Gay marriage mecca? Massachusetts is more a laboratory than launching pad

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 14:17:13 +0000

Back in 2004, a month before the first wedding bells rang for same-sex couples, then-Gov. Mitt Romney offered his opinion that "Massachusetts should not become the Las Vegas of same-sex marriage."

It wasn't that he wanted to protect Massachusetts' reputation. He wanted to protect the country from what he regarded as Massachusetts' folly. For that purpose Romney unearthed a 1913 law that said couples couldn't be married here unless the unions would be legal in their home states.

Frankly, I rather fancied the idea of Massachusetts as the new Vegas. What happens here stays here. At about the same time, Britney Spears explained her 55-hour marriage to a childhood friend by saying, "I do believe in the sanctity of marriage, I totally do. But I was in Vegas and it took over me."

Compassion for Edwards' wife nudges issues aside

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 14:17:13 +0000

As Elizabeth Edwards walked to the makeshift stage to the jagged edge of the Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up," her audience of 150 went quiet.

They wanted the issues, which they got. But they also wanted to see the woman, to hear how someone facing inoperable cancer decides to go on the campaign trail. It is a question that hums in the background virtually everywhere she goes.

At the official opening of the John Edwards for President headquarters here last weekend, the 57-year-old spoke on issues such as gay marriage and her husband's plan for 100 percent universal health care, which he would pay for by revoking tax breaks President Bush gave to people making more than $200,000 a year.

Paris Hilton: "I've Been Through A Lot"

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 05:08:25 +0000

Being locked in a cell was a "traumatic experience" and something she never expected after driving with a suspended license, a subdued Paris Hilton said on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Wednesday.

During the interview, Hilton, in toned-down lace, spoke softly as she sat across from King.

"I've been through a lot," said Hilton, her blond hair cascading across her forehead. "And it was a pretty traumatic experience, something that I really have grown from." Photos: Paris Gets Ready For Her Close-UpAsked why she was going public about her experience, she told King, "I just want to let people know what I went through." It was her first broadcast interview since being released.

AUGUSTA, GA. - Familiarize yourself with a new threat, anal leakage. Seems people think it’s quite all right to soil themselves to get skinny. So now when we see someone with a wet spot on their “arse” do not be alarmed, because they should be carrying a spare set of drawers. Unless, of course, they didn’t read the warning label! “You look like you’ve lost weight!” “Yeah, it’s my Alli, man.” You can sure smell the paper mills today.

I don’t understand the residents of the CSRA. When they see a marked sheriff’s office car speeding without lights and sirens going, they assume he’s not on a call but is just speeding around and call in to complain about it. When I drive my unmarked sheriff’s office car, I drive the speed limit and the locals get irritated; you can see it in the rearview mirror. I guess that’s because they don’t recognize it as a deputy’s car. So which way do you want it, CSRA? Do you want me to speed so you can, or obey the law like we all should?

I’m fed up with lazy parents blaming food companies for their fat kids. It’s your inability to say no that is the root of the problem. When I was a kid I was thin because my mother controlled what we ate. That’s what parents do. Having a cartoon on a box of cereal is not the reason your kid is fat. It’s your poor parenting skills.
