    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."

    After realizing the real meaning of the song, several US radio stations have threatened to ban the single.

    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.

    Stupid people. Why can you have a song all over the radio sung by a girl about kissing a girl and yet you're forcing Britney Spears to change the name of a song simply because of its suggestions. Stupid.

    Lindsay Lohan's hitting a slump?

    ABC dramedy Ugly Betty cut from six episodes to four. And, in fact, E! reports that Lohan will also be cut out of the episodes she's already filmed, as "she was not so interested in creating a character." But this was right after she left rehab and I feel she is more on her game now. While I would never condone her past behavior, I do think she is a great actress. She just doesn't always get great roles.

    To make matters worse for LiLo she is being sued. The actress is being sued by the three men who were in the SUV she drove during a 2007 car chase that resulted in her subsequent DUI arrest, People reports. Yes, I know, it is her fault but man when it rains it pours.

    Angelina Jolie's recent interview in the Italian version of Vanity Fair gave a tidbit of insight on her views about marriage.

    "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards . . . But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us [to get married]. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?' "

    I think it's cute her kids compare their parents to Shrek and Fiona. I think it says a lot about the couple; a good lot at that.

    This isn't the first time Paris has caught Benji straying. According to a source, he also cheated on her with a groupie earlier in the month. When Paris found out, she was devastated. "She's miserable and constantly sobbing about his infidelity," says the source.

    Benji and Paris have dated for around eight months, and she’s been accused of hooking up with other dudes during that time as well, so I guess all is fair. Maybe she'll end up staying in London with her new BFF.

    Madonna and Guy Ritchie have decided to adopt a second child from Malawi. The little girl's name is Mercy. The singer already has one Malawian adopted child, David Banda.

    Despite court battles regarding 22-month old David, this adoption should go through much more smoothly. Madonna and Ritchie had been granted temporary custody of then 13-month-old Banda in October, under the stipulation that they would be visited twice for evaluation by the official.

    Mercy has been living in an orphanage because her family in Malawi are too poor to look after her.
