Kim Kardashian and her friends are creating rumors that Kim is engaged to generate publicity. Apparently Kim picked up a few tricks when she used to hang out with Paris Hilton, according to Page Six:
"Kim is trying to create attention in her life because nothing else is really going on with her," said our source. "The whole debate over her engagement is buzz, and that's what she wants. She's not engaged, but her friends are telling all their celeb weekly contacts that she is."
Kim also tried to get some press a few months ago by saying $50,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from her bag at the airport. However she never filed a police report and the authorities informed the media it was all a publicity stunt. Next thing you know we’re going to find out her ass is fake and she wears a prosthetic for the camera. God, that would suck. It’d be like when I was a kid and found out Santa Claus wasn’t real. Except I’d probably cry more and, this time, a bike won’t stop the tears. Unless it’s the kind with a squirt gun on the handlebar. Those are sweet!

Britney Spears meltdown last night will obviously cause permanent damage in her custody battle with Kevin Federline. Former prosecutor Susan Filan, and MSNBC’s senior legal analyst, says that Britney’s refusal to turn over her children to police was “a very serious no-no in the world of courts.” People reports:
As for the standoff that ensued, as well as, it has been assumed, arguments in front of the children by the parents, Filan said the courts are also likely to take a very dim view. She also said that this could pave the way for Federline to be in charge of determining all future decisions involving the boys.
Susan offered her opinion on the final outcome of Britney’s actions:
“The court may very well have to intervene and cut off visitation, which is tough for a court , because a court doesn't want to deprive a child from its mom. This is really emotional stuff."
Concluded Filan: "These kids are now, I think, directly being harmed by the mother who … is spiraling out of control. I think she's just about done."
She’s the senior legal analyst for MSNBC and Susan Filan is just now starting to think Britney Spears is a danger to her kids. Hmm, those are some keen observational skills. It only took her about a year to reach the most obvious conclusion in the history of family law. Someone get Susan Filan a cookie. She earned it today.
UPDATE: Kevin Federline slipped into court under the radar and will testify in the emergency hearing that is currently in progress, according to TMZ.

Britney Spears’ blood test allegedly came back negative for substance abuse which police initially believed was the cause of Britney’s behavior. Life & Style reports:
“Her blood test just came back, and, thank God, it was clean. There are no traces of drugs or alcohol of any kind,” a source close to the Spears family tells Life & Style.
This information jives with a comment TMZ made earlier today:
We've been reporting for several months now that Britney doesn't have a drug or alcohol problem -- that her instability is mental, not chemical. Well placed sources tell us what happened last night is not rooted in drugs, and that of late, her mental state has deteriorated to the point that what happened at her home was not unexpected.
So, to the family member that said “Thank God, it was clean.” You’re right. Thank God Britney Spears only held her kid hostage because she’s batshit insane and not because of drugs. Phew, what a relief. I mean, if it were drugs, then this whole thing might be a real disaster or something. Now it’s just another anecdote the Spears’ clan will laugh about over Easter: “Hey, remember when Britney had a standoff with the police? Ha ha! God, she’s a stitch!”
UPDATE: Michael Sands, a representative for Kevin Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, just informed the media that Mark Kaplan feels it would be inappropriate to do any press today. Michael Sands said he couldn't comment on anything at this time. He also refused to confirm if the children are okay.

 Britney Spears was placed on lockdown for a mental evaluation Friday after the pop star locked herself in a room with one of her children at her L.A. home and refused to hand him over to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
A source says it was the pop star’s court-appointed child monitor who called police. “She had already put Preston in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden,” says the source. “The cops came and got through the door and tied her down to a gurney.”
Spears, who according to police appeared to be “under the influence of an unknown substance,” was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where the source says she will be on a minimum of a 72-hour lock down for mental evaluation.
Spears, who has visitation rights with her two sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, was scheduled to give the boys over to Federline at 7 p.m. Thursday.
According to police, officers responded around 8 p.m. to a call “about a custodial dispute regarding Britney Spears’s children,” says Los Angeles police Officer Jason Lee.
Nearly three hours later, police determined that a court order stated that the singer’s children, who were with Spears at the time, were supposed to be with Federline, and a transfer was arranged, according to Lee.
“While officers were on the scene, they observed Ms. Spears under the influence of an unknown substance,” Lee added.
LAPD called the incident an “ongoing investigation” and says, “for her own welfare, [Spears] was taken to the local hospital for treatment.”
Preston was taken to the hospital by Federline’s assistant, and Jayden was in the ambulance with the monitor, a source says, adding that the boys “won’t be back with [Spears] for a long time.” Federline took his sons home early Friday morning. Spears’s father Jaime remains at the hospital.
Meanwhile, Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is due in court at 8:30 a.m. to attempt to strip Spears of her visitation rights. Attorney Tara Scott from the law firm of Trope and Trope will represent Spears even though the firm has asked to withdraw as counsel.

Britney Spears’ custody standoff may be defined as a hostage situation that could result in her arrest. Officers rode in the ambulance with Britney which means she is technically in police custody. The seriousness of the matter involves the time she was alone with Jayden in the house. He was taken to the ER by the police and released a few hours ago to Kevin. Here’s OK! Magazine’s rundown of the events:
At some point, 2-year-old Sean Preston is removed from the house, leaving only little Jayden inside with his mother.
8 p.m.: The police are notified of a custodial situation at Britney's house and officers are dispatched to The Summit. But when they arrive, they find that the court-appointed monitor, who has been locked out of the house, is not in possession of the paperwork required to allow them to enter Britney's house.
9:20 p.m.: K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan arrives at The Summit with the required paperwork. He and five police cars enter the gated community and drive up to Britney's house.
10:30 p.m.: More than a dozen police officers, as well as two ambulances and a handful of fire rescue trucks are now on the scene. Sometime before 11 p.m., Britney's cousin Alli and Brit's assistant Carla leave the house, leaving Brit alone with Jayden James.
11:45 p.m.: Britney is taken out of her home strapped to a gurney and placed into an ambulance, which is escorted by 13 police cars with sirens blaring to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, arriving at approximately 12:30 a.m. Jayden is brought to the hospital in a separate vehicle.
Britney Spears is currently on 72-hour lockdown for mental observation where she will later be booked for “as-yet-unnamed offensives.” We all saw this day coming, but, I hope I speak for the rest of you, nobody wanted to see a toddler held hostage then watch the police kick in the door and strap his mom to a gurney. So I’m going to put the snark on the back burner for a minute. But, don’t worry, Kevin’s lawyers are already meeting with the judge and I’m sure the end result will be rife with folly. If not, I’ll make a joke about my penis.

Britney Spears was strapped to a gurney and taken from her home after a custody standoff with the police and local fire department. The police are saying Britney was under the influence of an unknown substance when she refused to allow her children to leave her house with Kevin Federline's bodyguard. The Associated Press reports:
Officers were called to Spears' house around 8 p.m. to respond to the custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline over their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, Lee said.
By about 10:30 p.m., six police cars, two ambulances and a fire truck had entered the gated-community that includes Spears' house. Several police cars were seen in the area earlier in the night.
Spears turned over the children around 10:50 p.m., Lee said.
TMZ is reporting that Kevin’s lawyers are meeting with the judge this morning to strip Britney of her visitation rights. She is currently on “5150 hold” at Cedars-Sinai hospital which means there is evidence that Britney is a danger to herself and others.
UPDATE: Us Magazine has a time line of Britney's meltdown. She's being treated at the hospital as a "special needs" patient which indicates indicates either an overdose or suicide attempt.

Britney Spears was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital over night after police were called to her Studio City home.
At around 8 p.m. police responded to a call “about a custodial dispute regarding Britney Spears’s children,” said LAPD officer Jason Lee.
Nearly three hours later, police determined that a court order stated that the singer’s children, who were with Spears at the time, were supposed to be with Kevin Federline, and a transfer was arranged, according to Lee.
“While officers were on the scene, they observed Ms. Spears under the influence of an unknown substance,” Lee added. “She is now being taken in for an evaluation, more than likely to a hospital. There were no reported injuries to anyone involved including the children.”
In addition to multiple officers, fire trucks, two ambulance and a police helicopter were all on the scene. At one point, Spears was seen being taken to an ambulance on a gurney.
After Spears arrived at the hospital, her father, Jamie, and her ex, Federline – as well as both of her sons – were spotted there. A source confirms that the boys were not being treated for any injuries.
Spears, who has visitation rights with her two sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, was scheduled to give the boys over to Federline at 7 p.m. Thursday. A bodyguard for Federline arrived to pick up the boys at the designated time, but Spears refused to relinquish her sons, according to a source.
Police – as well as Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan – arrived at the house close to 8 p.m., though Kaplan was later seen leaving.
Earlier in the day, Spears showed up 90 minutes late to a scheduled deposition in her custody case – and stayed for only a fraction of an hour.
Back at her Studio City home directly after the hearing, when a photographer asked if Kaplan was nice to her, Spears, 26, responded with an emphatic, “No!”
When reached, Spears’s lawyer Sorrell Trope, who on Wednesday filed a request to withdraw from the singer’s custody case, said only: “No comment.”

 Australian pop star Natalie Imbruglia and her rocker husband Daniel Johns announced their separation in a joint statement Friday.
“While we are very sad that our marriage has ended, we want to make it clear that our parting is amicable and we remain friends,” the statement read, noting that the decision has not been made “lightly or quickly.”
The “Torn” singer, 32, and Silverchair frontman, 28, had been together since 1999. The split comes just days after their fourth anniversary: They wed on New Year’s Eve in 2003 at the Thala Beach Lodge, an exclusive resort on Australia’s northeastern coast. (According to media reports, guests included singer Kylie Minogue, actor Guy Pearce and Virgin mogul Richard Branson.)
However, their work commitments often kept them apart, with Imbruglia based in London while Johns toured frequently in Australia and North America.
“Our career demands and our lives in different parts of the world have brought us to the point where unfortunately this difficult decision was necessary,” they said in the statement. “We have simply grown apart.”
The two musicians – tabloid darlings in their native Australia – also vowed that their breakup would not play out in the media. “We will not be making any further public statements whatsoever in regard to this very private matter,” the statement read. “[We] politely ask that people respect our sincere wishes in this regard.”

 Britney Spears’s visit to the Los Angeles office of Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, didn’t go exactly as planned on Thursday.
She was 90 minutes late, and left after less than a quarter hour of questioning.
The singer, wearing a hot pink dress and heels, arrived for her despostion after numerous previous failures to show. Less than an hour later, she drove off in her white Mercedes without speaking to the press.
Yet back at her Beverly Hills home, when a photographer asked if Kaplan was nice to her, Spears responded with an emphatic, “No!”
Spears, 26, was expected to be grilled about her past drug and alcohol use, her apparent failure to follow court orders and other matters that might pertain to her parenting skills.
Asked if he got information he was looking for, Kaplan replied stoically, “In 14 minutes?”
He described her demeanor as “cooperative,” and said the appointment was only scheduled from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m. “I would’ve preferred it had gone on longer,” he said.
The attorney added that he hasn’t decided whether to pursue sanctions against Spears for being late. He also said another deposition appointment had been set, but gave no details.
Although he said Spears gave a reason for being an hour and a half late, he did not specify what the excuse was.
“A deposition can be emotionally draining, because Kevin’s lawyer can ask very personal questions about her relationship with her kids – and she’ll be under oath,” says L.A. family lawyer Lynn Soodik, who’s not involved with the case.
On Wednesday, Spears’s legal team filed a request with a court asking that it be removed from the singer’s custody case, citing a “breakdown in communications” with Spears.
A hearing in that matter is set for Feb. 4. Until then, the firm of Trope & Trope still represents her.
Kaplan has already completed a number of depositions with Spears’s associates, including her longtime friend, Alli Sims, former manager Larry Rudolph and former bodyguard Daimon Shippen.
Kaplan will use evidence gathered from the depositions to try to persuade the court that Federline, 29, should be granted primary physical custody of their children, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, in any final ruling.

Kelly Brook put on a new bikini and enjoyed some more of her St. Barts vacation with boyfriend Billy Zane yesterday. But apparently Kelly’s idea of a good time is cramming sand down Billy’s crotch, according to the Daily Mail:
Instead it was all good clean fun as Kelly took great delight shoving handfuls of wet sand inside Billy's loose-fitting swimming shorts while he looked on somewhat bemused.
If I were Billy Zane, I’d look on bemusingly as well, if that were a word. By all normal laws of science he should be cleaning shoes at the bowling alley. Instead he’s got a busty British actress girlfriend that, yeah, maybe puts sand on his nads. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Very itchy sacrifices that will totally chafe afterwards. I should know. I dated a sandcastle artist once. My taint still feels like the Sahara.
