Excellent birthday, speaking from a gal also born on that day...but 28 years ago.

Britney Spears has embarked on a passionate affair with a backing dancer in a bid to win back the original dancer in her life - ex-husband Kevin Federline, it's claimed.

The singer is said to have fallen back in love with the father of her two boys after spending time with her former spouse while on the road with her Circus act.

"They are seeing each other every day," a source tells OK!. "When Kevin's had the boys for the day, they greet their mom with hugs and kisses, and their dad fills Britney in on how they spent their time. It's just like any other family when one of the parents comes home from work."

Two months after news broke of the alleged violent fight between Rihanna and Chris Brown, a PSA about domestic violence starring Keira Knightley is set to debut in theaters.

The two-minute clip, which will start airing April 6, depicts Knightley being violently kicked and beaten by a man.

"While domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it," says the actress, who volunteered to act in the clip for the charity Women's Aid. "Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week." Atonement director Joe Wright directed the spot.

Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has banned their children from watching her concerts.

Kevin decided the shows were too raunchy for Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, after watching a dress rehearsal of 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears'.

However, Britney wanted her kids to see her perform and so treated them to a child-friendly version of her 90-minute show, which opened in New Orleans on Tuesday night (03.03.09).

"Seinfeld" isn't coming back, but its stars will be together again this fall on HBO.

The network says that Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will appear in several episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The HBO comedy stars Larry David, who helped create "Seinfeld."

We don't have HBO but if we did I'd definitely watch.

Pop star Jewel and TV host Nancy O'Dell have dropped out of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

Both women sustained injuries during training for the show that prevent them from continuing the competition, the network announced Thursday. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while the "Access Hollywood" host will need surgery to repair a torn knee cartilage, the network said.

A replacement for at least one of the women may be announced during Monday's season premiere, said executive producer Conrad Green.

"Obviously this has caught us a bit by surprise," he said, adding that any replacement would have "literally a couple of days to learn the routine, as opposed to a month."

Her much-anticipated Circus tour is kicking off Tuesday, March 3, 2009, but Britney Spears has even more to look forward to. Marking her first-ever apparel endorsement, the princess of pop has been named the next Candie's Only at Kohl's spokesmodel. The singer will be stepping into the shoes of Heroes star Hayden Panettiere who was the face of the shoe line for two years. As part of her new gig, Britney will appear in Candie's print, television, in-store and online ads this year. Candie's and Kohl's also plan to follow Spears on her comeback tour, rolling out pink carpets and VIP lounges for her fans.

Colin Farrell has been leaning on Keira Knightley following his recent split from girlfriend Emma Forrest.

The Irish actor, 32, split from novelist Emma last month after the pair had dated for almost a year.

And Farrell is now seeking solace in Knightley - his costar in new movie London Boulevard.

Bleck. I don't like Colin Farrell and I'm fairly certain Keira will not get caught up in any of his so-called charm.

Miley Cyrus can't understand why everyone's making such a big deal over a photo of her cleavage.

The 16-year-old was recently snapped jogging with her shirtless older beau Justin Gaston. Miley was sporting a cleavage-baring top - and her assets were there for everyone to see.

I don't understand it either. When you wear a bikini under a top and you're running it's not easy to hide cleavage if your top moves, too. I'm so tired of people picking on her. Good grief!

So, we all know that Izzie is sick and that whatever she has is not going to be good. Rumors have it that her illness has been devised as a way to give Katherine Heigl a smooth (and permanent) exit from the show, but we've gotten no confirmations yet as to whether or not that's true.

According to Spoiler TV, Justin Chambers revealed in an interview with TVGuide.ca that "Izzie has cancer, so I'm there to support her."

It really sucks to know Tim McGraw will probably get sued for what he did Tuesday at his concert, but I think he is more awesome now than ever. After seeing a man assault a woman in one of the front rows at his show, he pulled the man away from her and up on stage.

"The disoriented heckler got to his feet and took a couple of menacing steps toward McGraw with hand raised, prompting the country singer (not a small guy, for the record) to cock his own fist before crew members grabbed the would-be attacker and escorted him forcibly offstage."

Some of the worst Hollywood kissers...

Jason Segal, Outed by Alyson Hannigan: "Alyson refused to kiss him or do any romantic scenes with him, because he smelled like smoke. He thanks her for forcing him to do that because now he not only smells better, he feels better as well."

Angelina Jolie, Outed by James McAvoy: "I can tell you what it was like to kiss her on a film set: It was awkward, sweaty and not very nice."

Tom Cruise, Outed by Thandie Newton: "Kissing Tom Cruise was slightly icky and sort of wet. I'd really go home at the end of the day actually moaning about how hot it was and how many times we had to do it."

Defamer has the remainder of the list.

So Callie isn't my favorite Grey's Anatomy chica, but she's sassy and seems to be pretty comfortable in her own skin. I believe this even more now that she is the latest woman to be featured in a Got Milk? campaign.

Look how hot Sara Ramirez looks in her red dress with her milk moustache. You gotta like a girl who has curves and wears them well. That dress is killer on her, I'm jealous.

The little blurb she wrote for the ad says:

"In show business your figure, well, shows. That's why I drink milk. Studies suggest the nutrients in milk can play an important role in maintaining a healthy weight. Staying active, eating right, and drinking 24 ounces of low fat or fat free milk a day helps you look your best. Bravo."

All I can say is "You Go Girl!."

Isaiah Washington broke his silence about being fired from Grey's Anatomy.

"Shonda Rhimes called me on Thursday of last week and told me that I would not be returning to the show," Washington says. "Just like she personally called me and invited me to the show. It was full circle."

Things got ugly after he apparently made a prejudiced comment to castmate T.R. Knight in regards to his sexuality. Washington apologized and went to a rehab to help him with anger management. But apparently ABC still considers him a liability and did not renew his contract for season four.

This explains the absurd ending to season three. In which Washington's character broke up with his fiancée, Christina Yang (Sandra Oh) on their wedding day. It followed suit with the entire episode where nothing went well and everyone was depressed. Lovely.
