Britney Spears on the cover of Rolling Stone!

Britney Spears looks sexy, toned and smiley on the much anticipated cover of
Rolling Stone this week. The magazine doesn't hit stands until Friday, but while Britney is off getting used to performing again in Europe before her stateside promotional appearances, we've got a taste of the interview. In it her longtime manager calls Circus the album that will "cement her legend status." Here are highlights:

• On chaperoned dates: "Right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad," Spears says. "He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier. … So I had to get dessert first. And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older. … We're trying to ask him questions, like, 'OK, you're into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?' And he was like, 'Oh, all kinds.' … But you know how silly we are, so we were just cracking up."
• On her life: "I feel like an old person now . . .I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don't go out or anything."
• On her kids: "Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they're such special people . . . [they] are starting to learn words like 'stupid,' and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn't get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids."

Britney's come a long way since her first provocative cover of the magazine that launched her sex symbol status, and thankfully a long way since her last one too.

There are still moments of sadness in Britney's interview, but at least she's got that bubbly sense of humor back.

Debra Messing Talks About Her Weight Loss

taken from: http://gossip.about.com/

The Starter Wife star Debra Messing proudly appears on the January cover of Shape magazine in a gorgeous blue string bikini top and very short shorts. She looks happier than ever and ready to hit back at critics who were cruel as she tried to lose the post-baby weight.

"It was written about in the tabloids a lot. On one page it showed the actresses who got skinny in six weeks or less, and on the other page was me! I was so depressed and frustrated," she told Shape.

After her son Roman was born in 2004, Debra, 40, said she hired a personal trainer, but just couldn't keep up. "I was exhausted! I couldn't work out three hours a day and do my job as a mother and an actress." It's been three years and she has finally put the 42 extra pounds behind her.

Hopefully sending a positive message out to her fans, Debra said, "I'm very proud of how I dropped the weight because I think it was the healthy approach. I've finally taken ownership of my body."

It's refreshing to see that kind of honesty coming from such a big star. Someone should send a copy of the article to the celebrity moms who 'magically' lost all the post-baby weight in two weeks. Can you say liposuction?

Ashlee, Justin, Michelle, Other Celeb Darlings!

Taken from popsugar.com unless otherwise stated

Ashlee Simpson's baby bump stood out leaving Kamasaku restaurant on Friday and around LA on Saturday. Ashlee doesn't have much longer before the arrival of her
supposed little boy and she already has help lined up for the transition. According to
Life & Style, Tina Simpson is moving in with the new parents for a little while after Ash gives birth. With Jessica talking to the baby, Pete gushing
with enthusiasm, and both families ready to help out, this newborn is already surrounded by a lot of love.

Justin Singing for Charity

Justin Timberlake took a break from golfing to rally some of his musical buddies to put on a benefit concert as part of his tournament for Shriners Hospital. Rihanna, Leona Lewis, and the Jonas Brothers were just a few of the acts that took the stage on Friday night at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Of course, Justin himself was all over the stage, and it looks like he joined in on almost every act of the night. Jessica Biel had to wait for her man backstage, but she was right there in his arms to party into the wee hours after all the big performances.

Michelle Williams and her Little One

Michelle Williams and Matilda got into the Fall spirit with their bundled up clothes on a walk around Brooklyn on Friday. Matilda's hat might be a little too big for her and need to be folded up and out of her eyes, but that adorable blazer fits just right. The weather is cooling down in New York before the long Winter, but it looks like these girls know how to keep warm — and from the sounds of it, things are definitely heating up between Michelle and Spike Jonze just in time for the long freezing months.

Renee, Emmanuelle, Ginnifer and Kerry Looking Pretty

It was all about the ladies on Thursday night at the Courage in Journalism Awards in LA. Renee Zellweger and Ginnifer Goodwin showed off their legs while Emmanuelle Chriqui looked stylish in black and white. One of your choice underrated actresses Kerry Washington stood out all glammed up in her gorgeous glittery gray strapless dress. Amy Adams, Maria Bello and Rita Wilson also came out for the event, and it's clear that these actresses didn't need any men to strut their stuff and have a good time.

Jessica in Dallas

Jessica Simpson kept Daisy close as she launched her new perfume, Fancy, in Dallas on Saturday. The day before, Tony Romo and his broken pinky came out to see his girlfriend perform at the State Fair of Texas, and in return she gave constant shout-outs to him. Gushing as usual, Jessica said, "Sometimes, to find a love as big as that, you have to go through some heartbreak, some ugly ones and some butthead ones. You go through that to really appreciate where you are in life right now." Even if the couple isn't engaged yet, Jessica doesn't seem to have any complaints about the love of her life.

Reese Witherspoon Looks Cherry!

Reese Witherspoon was fully equipped for the yucky London weather today, breaking out her hat, trench coat and big gray umbrella. She wasn't about to let a little rain get her down, smiling big as she roamed the streets and ducked into a coffee shop. Reese has been busy visiting with Jake and showing Ava and Deacon the sights, but it looks like she's also managed to find time to explore England by herself too.




How Nicole Kidman's Daugther Got Her Name!

The mystery of Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman's name choice for her daughter has reportedly been solved, with Kidman's father saying "Sunday Rose" was inspired by an Australian arts patron notorious for her lurid love life.

Antony Kidman said the unusual name chosen by Kidman and her country music star husband Keith Urban was first suggested by him and his wife, who drew inspiration from prominent Australian arts patron Sunday Reed.

"I have read a bit about Sunday Reed and her husband John. She was a key mover and shaker in the arts around the beginning of the century. The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it," Antony Kidman told the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Wednesday.

Sunday Reed lived for nine years during the 1930s in a three-way love triangle relationship involving her arts patron husband and one of Australia's best-known artists, Sidney Nolan. She eventually became Nolan's muse.

Nolan is best known in his homeland for a series of stylized paintings of famous outlaw Ned Kelly, who battled police in an armored suit and whose final days were turned into several films variously starring Mick Jagger and late Australian actor Heath Ledger, who died of a drug overdose in January.

Sunday Reed was also niece of one of Australia's richest men and Nolan painted his Ned Kelly series, several of which hang in the Australian National Gallery, in her living room.

Reed committed suicide 10 days after the death of her husband in 1981.

The Telegraph said Nicole Kidman and Urban had spent a long time looking at a quote by Nolan about birth, hanging in a Sydney art gallery, shortly before announcing Kidman's pregnancy in January 2008.

"When you are young you are given a good view of life, because of your closeness to birth," Nolan wrote.

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, Kidman's first biological child, was born on Monday and weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces (2.93 kg).

Kidman and former spouse Tom Cruise adopted two children during nearly 10 years of marriage that ended in divorce in 2001.

Beyonce and Jay-Z!

Congrats to Beyonce and Jay-Z who tied the knot tonight in NYC. We've been watching the details unfold as tents went up and flowers arrived, followed by guests for the big event. The marriage license was put to good use, as the Bonnie and Clyde of '03 have become husband and wife. Jay-Z and Beyonce wed at his Tribeca apartment with family and close friends including Gwyneth and Chris Martin. Jay-Z has a show in North Carolina tomorrow night so the honeymoon may be on hold but knowing these two, they'll be living it up this summer in some fabulous destination.

Kate and Lila!
Kate Moss wasn't about to let a little model rivalry get in the way of taking her kiddie entourage to Disneyland on Friday. Her daughter Lila looks happy as could be; unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for one of the other children. We have seen a whole new side of Kate on her LA trip, and even though we're used to Kate the rocker chick, her new maternal side is growing on us too.

Michelle Williams Speaks For First Time: 'My Heart Is Broken'

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on February 1, 2008 10:25 AM

Michelle Williams is speaking out for the first time since the tragic death of Heath Ledger, the father of their two-year-old daughter, Matilda.

The heartbreaking statement reads:

"Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up in the best memories of him."

Britney's Parents Take Control!

Taken from intouchweekly.hollywood.com
Britney Spears’ parents have won round one of their war with their daughter’s controversial confidant Sam Lutfi to gain control of the singer, who is currently undergoing analysis in the psychiatric unit of the UCLA Medical Center.

Commissioner Reva Goetz made Brit’s dad, Jamie Spears, and family attorney Andrew Wallet conservators over her estate. She also granted the right to get restraining orders against “persons they deem dangerous or harmful." A restraining order was immediately issued against Lutfi. "Because of the seriousness of Miss Spears' condition, I think it’s necessary these orders are granted," said Commissioner Goetz.

Lynne Spears let out a sigh of relief on hearing the decision in Los Angeles Superior Court. “The parents wanted Sam out of the picture and that’s what they got,” a family friend tells In Touch. “This is exactly what they were hoping for.”

The ruling means Britney’s parents can move in to her home, can make any and all people move out, change locks, cancel all credit cards and revoke all powers of attorney.

Attorney Blair Berk, who is representing the Spears family, was also present during the proceedings and sat with her arm around Jamie. The two were engaged in deep conversation. Burke also represented Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson during their DUI cases last year.

The ruling is effective and will be re-evaluated on Monday, February 4. The next hearing in the long-running child custody case between Britney and ex-husband Kevin Federline is on February 22.

“It is hopeful that with the help of her family and the current temporary conservatorship in place, Britney will be able to get healthy quickly so that she can prove to the court that she is serious about being mother to her boys and will act in their best interest,” celebrity family law attorney Goldie Schon tells In Touch. She adds of Commissioner Goetz: “She was a family law judge for a long time and therefore is well equipped to make these decisions for the family to protect Britney from herself. The judge found, in effect, that Lutfi has been harassing Britney - thus the civil harassment restraining order.”

Hilary Duff With Her New Fragrance!

Taken from socialitelife.buzznet.com

Hilary Duff captivated the Aussies when she arrived in Sydney yesterday to promote her new fragrance, Wrapped With Love. What an awkward-sounding title. Sounds like a murder victim. Over 1000 people invaded the Myer's store where Hil was shillin' her self-described "yummy" fragrance. "I don't want to eat it, but it's very yummy", the veneer-wearing starlet said. She's smart. For real, she's looking hotsy lately, though. I think she finally adjusted to those veneers. Some fans waited over nine hours to meet her! And some of them were sobbing when they finally approached her to get their fragrance signed. Some people seem to need jobs in Australia.

BizGirl is signing off :)
