Britney Spears has many demands, but when she is staying at a hotel while on tour she has some interesting ones indeed.

Among her requests: a room that has "never" been smoked in, humidifiers in all areas, a selection of current magazines, fresh flowers she'll arrange herself, chick-lit novels, DVDs of Marilyn Monroe movies, 100-watt light bulbs, running routes for Hyde Park and more. She won't need special pillows because she bring her own. And one more thing: Security will sleep outside her room.

She also recently decided she wanted to shell out $30K on an oxygen chamber.

"Since her Vancouver gig, where she ran off stage as it was too smoky, she's become paranoid about breathing in too much bad air," a source told British newspaper The Sun. "She's keen on an oxygen chamber that will reverse any smoke inhalation damage."

Spears isn't the only star to indulge in the the expensive gadget - Madonna, Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson all own one.

Tom Hanks has declared he is finally confident about his acting ability.

"I no longer feel insecure about my acting. Early on I took any job that was offered, milking it for the money," said the double Oscar-winner.

"I had no idea what I was doing - that's when insecurity and self-loathing start."

The 52-year-added that he has also thrown away his vanity.

"After a while you have to give up being vain. In [new film] Angels And Demons I have to wear a Speedo to go swimming," Hanks told Britain's Radio Times.

"It takes a real man to slap on a Speedo and say, 'I'm ready for work.'"

Game on. The race to 1 million followers on Twitter has a new player, after singer Britney Spears' manager made it known she has joined the competition.

For those who have not heard about it, the race started earlier this week when actor Ashton Kutcher challenged cable news channel CNN to a Twitter duel, promising to ring CNN founder Ted Turner's doorbell if he wins.

Then on Wednesday, Spears' manager posted the following statement on her Twitter page. "Let's get Brit across the million mark!," he wrote. It was the equivalent of the United States joining World War I after sitting on the sidelines, because Spears is a Twitter powerhouse with more than 940,000 followers as of Thursday afternoon.

Kutcher had challenged CNN to the Twitter race, saying he would donate 10,000 mosquito bed nets to charity for World Malaria Day in late April if he beat CNN, and 1,000 if he lost. CNN agreed to do the same.

And Kutcher wound up the winner. Go Ashton!

It's one of the most shrouded summer movie mysteries: What will actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like as masked baddie Cobra Commander in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"?

The 28-year-old actor isn't giving away any details, but Gordon-Levitt says the villain's look was the main reason he signed on for the movie, based on the popular Hasbro toy line.

"The way the character looks, that's what ultimately convinced me to do the part," he says. "I saw the designs and drawings of the way they interpreted my character for this movie - the costume, the whole getup - and I was like, 'Oh, wow. I get to be that guy? Fantastic. Sign me up. Please. Thank you.'"

A source said: "'She-Hulk' comics are popular so it's only natural that the character makes the transition to the big screen.

"The idea is to make She-Hulk sexier but even more savage than the Hulk, which is why Megan is the big favorite for the lead. She'll be green of course and will have to hang on to a few more pieces of clothes than the male version when she transforms!"

Megan Fox has a nice body, I admit this, but she does NOT have a Hulkish body. This will not work and I hope it's not set in stone.

Happy Birthday to Robert Downey Jr. who turns 44 today.

Robert currently riding high on his success in 2008 (Iron Man and Tropic Thunder), both commercially sound and picking up an oscar nod for the second. Over the next year he's got The Soloist (meh comments from Showest) and Sherlock Holmes coming up. That should keep him in the spotlight for at least next couple of years.

During the press junket of "The Soloist" Friday, April 3, Robert Downey Jr. has finally broken the silence over "Iron Man 2" possible plot. When asked by MTV whether this "Iron Man" sequel will be based on the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline, he responded by saying, "Not really.

"What we know is ['OC' characters] Kirsten Cohen, or Kirsten Nichols as she was born, and Jimmy Cooper lived in Newport Beach in the '80s," he said. "So there's a total possibility that in one episode, Lily could have been friends with Kirsten or Jimmy Cooper when they were young. I would love to do that."

Britney is now having to rename one of her singles from her latest album, Circus. The song is called If You Seek Amy.

One of the lines in the song goes, "All the boys and the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy."

So, in an attempt to secure radio play for the song, Britney's camp has decided to change it up. But, rather than re-write the lyrics they've opted to only drop the "k" from seek.

It will now be called If You See Amy.

Country music man and "Nashville Star" judge John Rich, of multiplatinum country duo Big & Rich, has penned a campaign anthem, "Raisin' McCain," to rally the redneck nation behind the Republican presidential nominee. The song will debut tomorrow night when Rich hosts the Country First Concert in Panama City, Fla., which will feature an appearance by McCain himself. Meanwhile, rapper Ludacris has composed a tune for Barack Obama that's more trash-talking than melody. "Politics: Obama Is Here" slams Hillary Clinton as an "irrelevant bitch," McCain as old, and President Bush as "mentally handicapped." The rant has been condemned by Obama.

Ryan Gosling made his deejay debut Tuesday night at Green Door lounge in Hollywood, with a surprising guest in the crowd - his ex-girlfriend Rachel McAdams.

Arriving at 9 p.m., the actor settled into what is said to be a weekly gig at the lounge's Tuesday jazz night. McAdams arrived later "supporting Ryan," says a Gosling pal.

I would love to see these two back together!

The 40 Year Old Virgin co-stars Steve Carell and Seth Rogen are to reteam for a new Ghostbusters movie, according to Internet reports. Woohoo! I hope this doesn't meant it will be too spoofy.

Lori Loughlin hardly looks old enough to be one of the parents on The CW's updated version of "90210," but the former "Full House" star tells ET she has three children -- one of whom is 16 -- so she is definitely in the ballpark when it comes to age.

Though I'd be worried if I were CW because every show Lori stars in ends up crashing and burning by the end of the season.

Blake Lively does not want to be compared to Paris Hilton. The "Gossip Girl" star says the weirdest rumor she's heard about herself is that she acts like the heirhead. "Since I have a dog and blond hair, that must mean we're alike. It's a dumb thing to say. I don't think that makes us similar," Lively tells the new issue of Seventeen. "I don't know her, but I don't like being compared to anyone by somebody who doesn't know me. I'm my own person. I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables and I don't like sex tapes."

Actress Elisabeth Rohm and her fiancé, entrepreneur Ron Wooster, welcomed their first child - a baby girl - on April 10th. They named their daughter Easton August. The name "Easton" came to Rohm in a dream, according to Rohm's publicist. Easton came into the world weighing 6 lbs, 13 oz. and measuring 18 inches in length. Her original due date was April 28, which also happened to be Rohm's birthday!

In an exclusive statement, Neil Patrick Harris responds to the Associated Press article that suggested he would like Britney Spears banned from the set of his CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. "It seems that yesterday a writer took some quotes of mine and speculated an opinion about their intent. I write to you to set the record straight," the actor says. "Britney did a great job on the show. She really did. In fact, we are all hoping that she returns rather soon to reprise her role as Abby."

Hmm, makes you wonder what he really said, but I'm glad he cleared it up because we all know how I like Brit. I do also very much like NPH I think he is a fantastic actor and his character on HIMYM is hilarious!

In other Brit news, Justin Timberlake will repotredly attend a Spears family BBQ this summer. This is after a personal reach by Jamie Spears in hope that this could possibly help Britney in her fight for sanity...? Not sure if I believe that is how it went down, but I wouldn't mind seeing the two back together though I don't believe it will happen.

Oh the speculation that arises every time Britney Spears moves! I love the girl, but come on must we assume every step of her life? Is she making furniture, designer clothes for children, starting a $100K world-wide tour? I don't know. I hope she is able to do all of it, though it would be weird for her to have a furniture line. I mean Cindy Crawford does, but does Britney need one? Ah well. Whatever floats her boat I suppose. Though I'd love to see her design clothes for children. =o)

As for her love life it seems the rumors of her reuniting with Kevin Federline have died down, thank God. But now the mill is spouting out about Moby being infatuated with her. Moby has proclaimed his undying love for Brit and even claimed he wants to marry her. Whoa. Do they even know each other? I think he just wants his name somehow associated with her so he shows up in google searches. ;o)

Actually, what he really said was: He said: "The fatter she gets, the weirder she gets, the more I love her. I found her moderately appealing in the late 90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat!" Oh yeah, that would make me trip all over myself with giddy joy for him...uh no!

Christina Aguilera was paid $1.5 million for a photograph of her baby. Jennifer Lopez was paid $6 million for her a photograph of her twins. However, both of these pale in comparison to Angelina’s babies. According to National Enquirer editor Barry Levine, Angelina's twins may command almost $10 million. Whoa. But you know something, she and Brad would probably end up adopting another child with that money...or donating it to starving people in Africa.

*~*~*~*

To further prove to the world that she is getting her act together and maintaining said act; Britney Spears is now going to take part in the Kid's Choice Awards. However, people are speculating a reunion between her and Federline. As far as I am concerned, such a reunion would be hazardous to all of the improvement in her life and I don't believe the rumors are true.

I do think the two will be able to have an amicable relationship for their children, but anything romantic would be disastrous.

It is no secret that I love Will Smith. I think he's hilarious, hot and quite charismatic. (No, I don't care if he is a scientologist). Anyway, he is currently filming for the movie "Seven Pounds" where he plays a character who falls in love while attempting to kill himself. The lucky lady is Rosario Dawson who was also his co-star in Men in Black 2.

Brian and I just watched "I Am Legend" on my birthday Saturday. We both loved it. I mean seriously, loved it. The bad reviews are ridiculous. Those people just don't like when one person can continuously be in successful movies.

Anyway, the plotoutline on IMDB for "Seven Pounds" is: "The emotional story of a man who will change the lives of seven strangers." And I have to say it sounds like a winner to me. But even if it didn't, I'd still watch it for the pure fact of Will Smith being in the credits.

In unrelated news, Network chiefs at CBS are so thrilled with Britney Spears' guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother; they want to give Brit her own show. The pop singer's cameo as a secretary on this week's episode attracted 10 million viewers, it's highest ever ratings. I think they should have her guest star a bit more before signing her for a sitcom, but I'm proud of her, you go girl!

*~*~*~

Ryan Phillipe and his girlfriend, Abbie Cornish, might be expecting. This is totally uncomfirmed and at the moment I don't want to believe it. Esepcially since I think they look like brother and sister. Maybe this is all related to some movie plot we're no aware of...?

Sorry Demi but this is just disgusting.

On Monday night's Late Show With David Letterman, actress Demi Moore revealed one of her beauty secrets: detoxifying leeches. The 45-year-old recently traveled to Australia for a full-body cleanse - which included the aide of "highly trained medical leeches" being placed in her bellybutton.

"You feel [them] bite down on you, and you want to go, 'You bastard!' and then you relax and watch it swell up," she said. "They have a little enzyme that when they are biting down in you, it gets released in your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit - and your health is optimized," she added. "It detoxifies your blood - I'm feeling very detoxified right now."

Maybe she was joking? Didn't Mystery Science Theater make fun of a movie with some weird youth drink? I think they can totally make fun of this situation even if a movie is never made. Eck eck eck!

It would not be shocking if Britney Spears opened her own dance studio. Dancing is therapeutic for her and she has fun working with children. I'm not sure if it will happen, but I do know there is speculation. I think she should definitely open one, but not until things settle down in her personal life.

George Michael is coming back to the U.S. for what he calls a "rounding off" of his career's first phase. "I don't want to do anything on this scale again," he says. "No more stadiums. I'd like to be the Tony Bennett for my generation."

Have you ever seen Benji Madden? He is Paris Hilton's latest beau and he is hardcore grunge looking with tattoos from head to toe. I mean he is a total rocker, okay?

Well. Benji's birthday was yesterday and Paris decided to do something special for him. She took him to Ole Henriksen Face & Body Spa in West Hollywood for a facial. OH MY GRACIOUS. Can you even, I just...there are no words.

Britney's ex? boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, showed up to her gated community on Monday night. And for the first time since her dad and brother took over her life...they opened the gate. I wonder what that is all about. Hmmm. Good news is she has started working again. Britney Spears attended a table reading with the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" on Monday. She will have a guest starring role on their March 24th episode.

Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are in Miami, where they're currently playing husband and wife on the set of the upcoming film Marley and Me. Rumors of course are that they are now a couple. From Vince Vaughn to Owen Wilson...? I don't know. Though I so like Owen and Jennifer, I'm not sure I think they should be romantically involved. I think they both have personal things to work out first. Like her still being upset over Brad and Angelina and well you know...his recent suicide attempt. I'm all for a friendship for them, but anything else would scare me.

And yes, it is true, PETA has signed porn star Jenna Jameson for their latest "Pleather Yourself" ad campaign. She said: "I've worn a lot of pleather in my life. Anybody that knows Jenna Jameson knows I've lived half my life in it." Must we talk in the third person!? Bleck. Looks airbrushed to me, but I'm all for helping PETA. =o)

The judge in the Britney Spears' conservatorship case ruled that Britney Spears' estate pay Jamie Spears $2,500 a week and allow him to lease a car while he handles Britney's affairs. The ruling was made Wednesday according to court documents that the press got a hold of yesterday.

The AP reports:
Goetz also ordered Spears' estate to make a $58,800 payment to Samuel D. Ingham III, the court-appointed attorney who represents Britney Spears in the conservatorship case. She also authorized the pop star's psychiatrist to hire two other doctors and pay them retainers totaling $9,000 from her estate.

My hope is that he'll use that money to pay for her medical treatments and court fees in getting visitation back. If he doesn't, then he's just as much of a loser as the other men in her life.

In other news...

And of course on the baby front:

Lisa Marie Presley hasn't just gained weight folks, she's pregnant with her third child. Lisa Marie's rep confirmed that the singer and her husband are expecting a child in the fall.

Brooke Burke is celebrating the arrival of her fourth child, her rep has confirmed to In Touch. She gave birth to her first son - and second child with fiance David Charvet - at 11:31 a.m. Wednesday. The baby weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces and was 20.25inches long. The couple have a daughter, Heaven Rain, who was born in January 2007, and Brooke also has two girls - Neriah, 7, and Sierra, 5 - with her first husband.

*****

The stars of Sex and the City have dropped hints about the question on the minds of all fans: what happens in the upcoming movie? "Something major happens that fundamentally changes who Carrie is," Sarah Jessica Parker told LOGO’s NewNowNext.
The movie "doesn't pick up right where the series ended," Parker says. "It's a few years later... it's so packed with stuff."

Britney Spears got to see her babies. Yay!

Spears' dad, Jamie, was present during the three hour visit, as per the new agreement hashed out with the Federline creep lawyers this week.

Britney's psychiatrist was also on hand.

Okay, so the supervision of her Dad I can deal with, but did they really need to have her psychiatrist on hand. I suppose this is the only way she can show maturity in the situation though.

Oh and lets talk about Rihanna for a bit because it's funny.

Rihanna bought $35,000 worth of art from Todd Goldman as a birthday present to herself.

The Umbrella diva is sending half to her New York apartment and keeping the other half in her Los Angeles home.

She bought several paintings. They are:
"Fat kids are harder to kidnap"
"Goodbye kitty in a microwave"
"Gold digger like a hooker just smarter"
"My mom says not to run scissors"
"Barbie is a slut"
"A salt with a deadly weapon"
"Smurf blue balls"

What!? Maybe funny but I'd like to think she has better things to spend $35K on.

What!? Why would Heidi Klum offer to take in Britney Spears? That just seems so bizarre to me. Though everything surrounding Brit is bizarre, but even so I'm surprised. I wonder if she really meant it. Ima gonna have to dig deeper on that story.

In other entertainment news...

The movie "Jumper" did well this first weekend of being in the theaters. Hayden Christensen plays a young man who discovers that he has a genetic abnormality that allows him to teleport or "jump" anywhere in the world, but he also finds out that there is a war to annihilate "jumpers" like him. Also starring the cutie Rachel Bilson (who is reportedly dating Hayden), Samuel Jackson and Diane Lane.

Dog loving fool Paris Hilton turned 27 years old today. Wahoo. Blah.

Rumors are circulating that Minnie Driver might be pregnant. Driver is dating a man named Matthew who lives in England, but that's all I have been able to dig up.

Prince and the Village People plan to sue a Swedish website for allowing users to download their songs without permission. However, attorneys representing the music acts admit securing the lawsuit is proving difficult because they cannot identify the culprits. Lol. Shouldn't they just be happy that people still want to listen to their music. Hehe.

And there is some trash going around about Dinner: Impossible chef, Robert Irvine. The gossip states he has lied about most of his credentials as a chef before being on the Food Network. I don't know what is true, but I do like watching his show and it does seem he has a lot of experience. If he owes people money then he needs to pay up though, I can't stand moochers. It's also being reported that he lied about his college degree, his being a "knight" in England and his having been a full-time chef at the White House. Oh tis a great shame when people fib.

Waiting in a forever long line I perused the tabloid headlines to see the latest celebrity gossip. One of them in HUGE letters spelled out "My Mom slept with my husband" next to a picture of Britney Spears. I hope to God it's not true, but I would have to say that could explain an awful lot.

From the very beginning I have felt most of Brit's stupidness has been dramatized by Kevin Federline. I think he is a total creep and he gets off on putting her flaws and errors out in the light. As if he is some kind of perfect father. Rather than anyone follow his ever move he makes sure all eyes are always on Britney. I hate that!

In other "oh no she did not news" we have celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. She threw a tantrum during New York Fashion Week on Friday night. Because she was denied entrance into the Marc Jacobs fashion show.

And two lovely ladies you'd never guess would need rehab are indeed in rehab, Eva Mendes and Kirsten Dunst both checked into the Cirque Lodge. Which you may recognize as having been the center where Lindsay Lohan recently spent a good bit of time.

And last but not least, a tentative deal has been made to end the writer's strike which has been ruining television for months on end. You can read the details here.

Awww how sweet is he!? Precious.

It's not always about celebrating celebrity babies...sometimes in the entertainment world you receive bad news. What became of the former child star who played a HUGE role in the 1994 movie "The Client"?

Brad Renfro, age 25, was found dead yesterday in his California home by his girlfriend. Foul play is not suspected; Renfro was an admitted heroin and methadone addict. Very sad.

And of course the gossip mills are still going on about Britney Spears. It is so ridiculous, it even gets reported when she is spotted leaving a grocery store with her new boyfriend. Good grief people, let the girl buy her milk and eggs! She will be on the latest cover of OK! magazine this week so be sure to scoop the issue up for some (hopefully) positive news on Brit.
**
John Mayer tells sports people not to mess with his ex Jessica Simpson. He wrote an entry on his personal blog defending her after recent attacks from Dallas fans that she has been nothing but bad luck since she and Tony Romo started dating. News flash...maybe his head isn't in the game because he is a BAD football player! Let's not give Jessica too much credit here, mmkay!

And after 12 years on stage, raking in over $280 million, the Broadway play "Rent" will be closing the curtain on June 1st of this year.

Plus American Idol began running some of their auditions on air last night. Turns out someone from Smryna, Delaware made the cut and went onto California so I'm interested in checking it out. Hopefully there won't be a Sanjaya to make a mockery of this year's season.

For those of you who are home during the day to watch All My Children or you are such a fan that you tape it, you are probably thrilled that Rebecca Budig will be back in as Greenlee in a week or so.

Rebecca Budig left the show two years ago and moved to LA, but she is now back in New York and back on AMC. Woohoo! Rebecca married "Bachelor" Bob Guiney in 2005 and moved out to LA to be with him. The couple are still happily married and happy about this opportunity.

In other news of course is the next downhill spiral of Britney Spears. I have a soft spot for her and so I'm not happy about the media being so horrible. The girl is clearly distraught and depressed. The last thing she needs is everyone hating her based on all the negativity she receives from the press. No one ever says anything when her life is calm and happy, but as soon as something bad happens it is all you hear about. It is no wonder she is now in a hospital under suicide watch. Every time I see a picture of her she looks like a wreck, crying and lost. Then you see photos of Kevin Federline and he is smiling. I really believe he instigates it all and makes her look more out of control than she is.

Big whig quote of the moment:
"Bill (Clinton) is every bit as black as Barack. He's probably gone with more black women than Barack," the former UN ambassador quipped on a live TV interview - immediately adding, "I'm clowning."

Ali Larter, Christina Ricci, Marisa Tomei and Rumer Willis are all coming out to help Donna Karan celebrate her new fragrance, DKNY Delicious Night.

So if you happen to be in the area and think you can be all sleuth like you should grab your camera and stroll on down to her 711 Greenwich St. studio because that's a lot of pretty faces to capture.

In other news our favorite low life Kevin Federline has claimed poverty to a Superior Court judge. The judge ruled that Federline should receive $120,000, given "the notable disparity between the parties' income." And so as if the FedEX hasn't done enough damage to Brit already, now he's taking her to the bank. I'm not a Britney lover (though I did buy her new album) but I despise Kevin Federline FAR far more! Sorry Brit, next time you should aim a little higher with your men.
