were laughing and joking constantly, he was very protective of her and a
complete gentleman, making sure she had a cocktail or a water whenever she wanted one.”CS1
“Unlike the wild streak Britney has shown while at the club
previously, she was very understated in the company of
her new man. Rather than circulate around the club, or
make repeated trips to the bathroom, she seemed content to just
laugh and joke with her new guy. “

night laughing and joking, and they had a total of three drinks between them
the whole time they were in the club.”

Britney and Kfed Secret Meetings
Despite reports popette Britney
Spears and failed rapper ex Kevin Federline have been meeting in secret, insiders say the pair are definitely not
reconciling.
According to an insider, for the benefit of their children
Sean Preston and Jayden James., Britney 25 and Federline 29 are now finalizing their custody
plans, hoping to put an end to the acrimony surrounding previous negotiations.
"They are definitely not getting back together, but
decided a bitter war was not the right answer, and not
a healthy environment for their two sons."
The source claims Britney has had a private investigator
watching Federline for much of the last two months in the hope of catching him
out as a bad parent and building a case for full time custody.
“Britney was very bitter about the whole rehab issue. She
felt threatened by Kfed’s renewed enthusiasm for parenting and that her mother
Lynn seemed to side with him,” the insider said, adding.. “She was sworn on revenge, and hoped to win back full time custody, but she has
since come to her senses and believes both parents should be involved in the
upbringing of her sons.
Federline was reportedly so effected by Britney’s attempts
to entrap him, that he moved to a new secret location to escape surveillance.
“Kevin knows how determined Britney is and how possessive she is of her kids.
He initiated a meeting to try and appease her in early May.”
Kevin was spotted visiting Britney
at her
Hollywood home on three
occasions since she left promises on March 21. Sources claim Kfed initially
contacted her in late April with the first visit at her Hollywood Hills home on Sunday April 22. He visited again a few weeks later
on May 13.
Insiders say that on both
occasions, Kfed entered the home in his regulatory white t shirt and bag shorts in what appeared a
morose state, though was decidedly more cheerful after a two hour heart to
heart.
According to the insider, “Kev and Brit discussed their
situation patiently and amicably. They had a mutual family friend present to
monitor and witness everything and they discussed the things that concerned
them about their mutual approaches to parenting..
“Both agree that as they both share parenting that they
should both be hands on with their kids during designated custody periods.
There’s no point in offloading them on nannies.”
Meanwhile Britney again proved she has forgiven mum
Lynn for her stance with Kev and rehab, hosting another family day at the Bel
Air mansion she is currently renting from
Las Vegas casino entrepreneur
George Malouf.
Present at the home was Brit’s kids Sean Preston and Jayden
James, mum Lynn, her sister Jamie Lynn and boyfriend
Casey Aldridge. The Spears clan reportedly had a fun days swimming and
playing with the kids in the back yard. They also enjoyed a catered lunch
outdoors.

Robbie's private pitch. Several hopefuls, some as young as 18 played a 50 minute game on Robbie's ground outside his mansion
inside the upscale Mullholland Estates.
Many of the young Latino hopefuls werent even aware of Rob's
fame, but were attracted by the teams strong
reputation and high end facilities. According to 19 year old Eyal Delfipo, " Ive never heard of Robbie
Williams, but he has a great ground and a good team, does he know how to

Reese And Ryan's Ugly Custody
Battle.
After filing their divorce petition on November 8 last year
and agreeing on a temporary custody agreement, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe
are now said to be an ugly battle for their children,
four year old Deacon and eight year old Ava.
In the Superior Court divorce petition filed on Nov 8 2006,
Witherspoon, 31, asked for visitation for Phillippe, 32, and "exclusive
use of the family residence."
In a response filed by Phillippe also cited irreconcilable differences but asked for joint legal
custody and physical custody of the children as well as visitation granted
"to both parties, equally allocated."
Now with the ongonig custody battle heating up, insiders say
Ryan is asking that visitation rights be more "equally allocated".
According to an insider, Ryan is unhappy wih the current
situation that sees Reese having most time with the children. He is also
arguing that her hectic work schedule and "obsessive," commitment to
her career will not provide enough hands on time for the children, instead
leaving them with a nanny.
The 32-year-old actor is also alleging Reese's inew
relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal sees her paying
less attention to their children. "Ryan is definately bitter about her new
fling, and int responding well," the insider claimed.
Still, Ryan has not requested any spousal support from
Reese, who earns significantly more as one of
Hollywood's highest paid actresses.
The couple, who married in 1999, did not sign a prenuptial
agreement meaning Ryan is legally entitled to 50 per cent of Reese's
considerable fortune. Documents show that both parties agreed on the cause of
their marriage breakdown, with each citing "irreconcilable
differences".
Cameron Happy For Justin?
After spending a weekend in Las Vegas with her latest fling, illusionist Criss Angel, Cameron Diaz seemed to be in a lighter mood than usual,
despite the much publicized hook up of her ex Justin
Timberlake with actress Jessica Biel and
forecasts of a poor performance for Shrek 3 at the US box office.
Recovering from her wild weekend in
Las Vegas last weekend Cameron opted to
bond with galpal Drew Barrymore in LA on
Wednesday night, dining at upscale eatery Il Sole, later heading for the star
studded Chateau Marmont in
Hollywood, before speeding off
with Drew in her black Porsche for a sleep over.
After heading of from Drew's Beverly
Hills home in her Toyota Prius on Thursday
morning at around 9am, health conscious Cam headed for her gym at around 2pm.
Dressed in a skimpy white halter, trainers and tight fitting black track pants,
Cam was gracious to trailing media and answered all questions.
When asked how she felt about Justin
Timberlake's current fling with Jessica Biel,
Cameron maintained her upbeat disposition, replying, "What ever happens we
will always be friends. There will always be media reports, though our
friendship will last beyond that."
With that she marched into her gym, where she spent over an
hour with her trainer. Asked again if she had any bitterness about her ex JT
upon exiting, Cameron avoided the question, instead plugging a forthcoming
movie project."Ive just landed a new role in a movie called What Happens
in Vegas, with Ashton Kutcher," she
squeeled.
Diaz' new movie turns out to be a comedy
with Ashton Kutcher about a couple who
wake to discover they got married during a wild night. One of them also
won a vast jackpot playing with the other’s money, so each tries to undermine
the other to get the winnings until they start falling in love, "its a very cute story," Cameron added.

45-day jail sentence six days ahead of schedule -- but only if she's on her best
behavior. In other words, she must serve 39 days
minimum, and there's no way out earlier.

federal mandate which offers a chance to leave the joint early -- for inmates
sentenced to 11 days or more. According to the mandate, every four days that an
inmate spends behind bars "in an acceptable manner" will count as six
as long as the prisoner is on good behavior
Jail For
Paris
In a shock court decision, reality starlet Paris Hilton will is to serve a 45 day jail term from
June 6 after violating probation after driving
on a suspended license.
Paris looked decidedly
conservative as she arrived at LA Superior court, resplendent in black slacks,
a white blouse and grey blazer, with her hair tied back in a pony tail covered
with a black head band.
Paris walked into the
courtroom with her parents, flanked by two security guards.
Inside the court, Paris, her
manager Elliott Mintz, her lawyer Howard Weitzman and her parents took the
stand.
Paris argued that she was unaware her license was suspended, while the prosecution
argued that she was, validated by the fact that there was paperwork in her car
confirming the suspension.
Paris was her usual sassy self
during the swearing in process, laughing and rolling her eyes as the judge
mentioned she was to be treated " just the same
as evey other person whop enters that courtroom." Her tone changed
radically after a 15 minute recess and her sentence was handed down.
Both Paris and her mother
began to cry, holding one another’s hands in the dock.
Paris father
had a grim look, also holding his wife's hand. After the hearing, Paris and her family headed back to her Hollywood Hills
home, driving the route in her grey Range Rover.
Hilton was already on probation after pleading no contest
last January to alcohol-related reckless driving. The DMV had suspended
Hilton's license as a result of her DUI bust.
Paris was
stopped by the CHP last January 15, and again by the L.A. County Sheriffs on
February 27.
According to the papers, Hilton also failed to enroll in an
alcohol education program within 21 days of the order directing her to do so.
The legal papers asked that "Hilton be ordered to serve 45 days in
County
Jail."
Paris has also been ordered "not to consume any alcohol for a continuous period

Britney Comeback Gig
Comeback queen Britney Spears impressed a bulging crowd of
around 2000 people at
San Diego's
House Of Blues on Tuesday night.
The Toxic princess performed six different songs, kicking
off to an excited crowd after a support set by a DJ. Britney performed all of
her hits including Baby One More Time, I'm A Slave For
You, Breathe One Me, Do Something and Toxic.
The performance seemed to be aided by a backing track,
though a sexy and seductive Brit did do her own singing. Britney set the crowd
roaring and howling with her hot look. Wearing a brunette wig, she wore a
sparkly bustier, white knee high boots, and a
white skirt.
Brit performed with a team of four female backing dancers
who were very erotic and sexy dancing like strippers on chairs before Britney
appeared. Brit's taking charge of her own choreography and regular practice
definitely paid off, with some very tights sexy moves getting the crowd going.
Despite cheers and chants, Brit chose not to give an encore,
instead slipping backstage quickly after offering a big peace, thank you, I
love you to the crowd.
Before arriving in
San Diego,
Britney's tour bus was pulled over by the police just north of
San Diego after they had apparently received 911 calls from other motorists complaining
that the bus was moving too slowly.
When the bus pulled off the freeway and stopped at a gas
station, there were already fans waiting to greet the star. Jesse And Nadine's Career Conflict

Lindsay's DJ Galpal
Fresh from rehab and music mad Wild child Lindsay Lohan is now in the throes of a passionate
affair with high profile club DJ Samantha Ronson. The loving ladies returned from a week
in
Tokyo club
land on Saturday and insiders say they are still going strong.
Sources say Lindsay and Samantha have been an item since New Years eve, when they partied together in
Miami at Mansions nightclub. Since then they have been a regular fixture together,
seen everywhere from Plumm in NYC to LAX in
Hollywood .
They just returned from a weerk in
Tokyo together,
where Samantha played various clubs including her model twin sister Charlotte's
party called "Endless Fun," where she promoted a fashion line.
"They are practically inseparable," said the
insider. " They have been together constantly for
the past few months. Lindsay is very open about her sexuality and they are now
very intimate with one another, alternating between each other's homes in LA
and NYC," the source said.
At upscale nightclub Plumm in NYC just two weeks ago,
Lindsay and Samantha shocked club goers with their brazen disoplays of
affection for one another. "Lindsay took up her usual position next to
Samantha in the DJ booth, helping hr to pick songs and mix tunes, but this time
she was rubbing her back and shoulders and kissing her neck."
"At one point, Samantha lined up a few tracks and they
both disappeared into a nearby restroom, not returning for 15 minutes,"
the insider claimed." When they came back Lindsay looked absolutely wired and
Samantha had a huge grin on her face," the source added.
Lindsay and Samantha have been close since 2004, having met
when Samantha’s song “Built This Way” appeared on the sountrack of movie, Mean Girls in which Lindsay played the lead. Nowadays Samantha is renowned for hosting nights at some of

Nadine Vists Jesse
Taking leave from recording duties on the latest Girls Aloud
effort in
London , smitten songstress Nadine Coyle rushed to be by the side
of hunky new beau Jesse Metcalfe this week as he
battles his demons in Promises rehab center in
Malibu
California .
Sources say Girls Aloud singer has spoken to Jesse everyday
since he checked in to the center on March 19. Best known as the hunky gardener
on the ABC show 'Desperate Housewives' and the
star of the film 'John Tucker Must Die,' Metcalfe
checked in to
exclusive
Promises
Center after a week long binge which
culminated at the Mondrian Hotel in
West Hollywood , where staff asked him to
leave due to his extreme behavior.
Nadine headed to LA late last week, arriving in LA with her
father Niall to visit Jesse at the center. Sources at Promises say the
emotional reunion took place last Friday.
"They were both in tears and very happy to see
one another, kissing and hugging. She arrived with her father who delivered her and picked her up nearly four hours
later."
Rather than brave the nearby
paparazzi infested
village
of
Malibu , Nadine and Jesse instead strolled the grounds, taking in the spectacular
ocean views. After walking a sizeable distance from the main compound, they found an isolated spot, where they enjoyed lunch together
after ordering in from a local gourmet seafood cafe.
Despite visiting hours being limited to two hours, Jesse
negotiated a reprieve from Promises strict routine in order to spend quality
time with his girl.
According to a Promises source, "they are obviously
very into one another, they both talked intensely for nearly the whole time
they were together, though they also made some time for some intense making
out. She took a napkin and wiped his mouth at
one pint and they fed one another
spoon fulls of food, it was all very sweet."
The Promises insider says Nadine visited Jesse for the next
consecutive days, bringing Jesse gifts which included books, clothes and DVD's.
Sources say Nadine will remain in LA for around 10 days before heading back to
LA to fulfill her career obligations.
"She is currently staying at Jesse's home in
Beverly Hills ,"
the source said, adding "Nadine mentioned how much she loves LA and Jesse
so she's also spending some time during the visit to heck out potential living
spaces.
The Promises source says Jesse has since turned himself
around due to his stint in rehab. "Jesse has been a model patient since he
arrived, the insider said. "Unlike other
celebrity patients he has his ego under control and is willing to share in
group therapy sessions and do daily chores around the center."
The insider said that after an initial week of detoxifying,
Jesse now adheres to a rigorous schedule of group and one on one therapy, as
well as lectures devoted to understanding what triggers his compulsion to drink
and do drugs. He also hits the gym everyday which is perfecting his already
impressive physique.
Ironically, just like his character in Desperate Housewives, Jesse has been designated
gardening duty, which has seen him assisting gardening staff with trimming
lawns and raking leaves. "The chores are part of a humbling exercise, that helps to ground the patient, and helps them
to better understand themselves.
According to the source, although Jesse is progressing well,
he will remain in the center for another month. He was recently allowed to
leave the center alone, due to his quick reaction to treatment. Dressed in
Jeans, gym boots and a denim
shirt, he browsed local clothes
stores, buying a shirt from a local store and hitting the local Starbucks
where he was bombarded by Paparazzi.
In November this year, Jesse's latest feature film, Loaded
will be released in the
US
. In the movie he plays a young, wealthy club kid whose life spirals downward
into an out-of-control world of drugs, sex and violence.
Who Is Robbie’s Wingman?
He’s been spotted hovering in the background of nearly
every photo of Robbie Williams taken this year, but
who is the shaven headed bloke shadowing the former
Take That singer as he hits various LA hotspots?
Oly Travena, aka Oly T as he calls himself is a former
boy band singer and fashion model, currently on
contract in LA. Hailing from
London , insiders say he
met Robbie two years ago at a party in LA.

interests. Oly is just developing his career as a
singer so looks to Rob for inspiration and advice,
while Rob looks to Oly for friendship and support."
The insider says Oly also lives with Rob at his
Hollywood Hills home, living rent free in exchange for
assistant and chauffeur duties. He fits this in when
he isn’t on modeling assignments or recording
sessions.
“Oly also does odd jobs for Rob and drives him around
as he doesn’t drive. You’ll see him behind the wheel
of Rob’s black Range Rover whenever they are out
and
about in LA.
“They are best mates, they play football, chase girls
and make a bit of music together, but nothing
serious
as yet.” Oly also shares Rob’s penchant for women,
acting as his wingman as they hit LA hotspots while
on the pull..
It seems Oly is as much a lothario as his mate.
According to sources he’s having already notched up an
impressive list of conquests while staying in LA with
Robbie, including Rachel Stevens, Carrie Underwood and
Danny Minogue.

saying, "We go to therapy once in a while... but I'm happy, don't get me
wrong, I love her."

Toxic princess Britney Spears appears to be reaping the benefit of her
stay at the luxury $40,000 a month Promises rehab center in
Malibu .
Rising everyday at 6am,
sources say Brit is now involved in a strict routine consisting of physical and
psychological therapy, including yoga, counseling sessions and psycho drama
sessions.
Insiders say the twice
daily psycho drama sessions are used as a technique to help clarify antisocial
personality traits. “They aid patients with addictions in the process of
realizing the extremes of their behavior, clarifying what drives them to
indulge,” says a clinic source.
Insiders say Britney is
staying on the 15 acre
Malibu property which houses
three separate buildings that host sleeping quarters, counseling sessions and a
kitchen with eating facilities. “She is progressing well at the center and has
settling into the routine,” the source says. “

is to also attend regular AA meetings. The starlet is now attending up to four a week at various locations around
Santa Monica and
West Hollywood .
At 10 am on Sunday
morning, Kevin took Sean Preston and Jayden James to visit their mother in
rehab. The family reunion was short-lived, however, as
Kevin took the kids home after less than an hour, with observers saying he
appeared in a morose mood while returning home.
On Monday night Brit
went to Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Pacific
Palisades from 8 - 9 pm. According to witnesses Brit smoked and chatted with
others who attended the meeting.
She left in a white SUV
owned by Promises, with a group of people assumed to be associated with the
center, some patients, some staff. Brit changed her
look a little and wore a dress with heels, but hid under her signature hoodie.
Meanwhile Brit’s ex Kevin Federline has been criticized for his wayward
parenting, with his young sons Jaden and Sean Preston seldom seeing the light
of day. Observers say the children are rarely outside during their current
routine, which sees them spending most of their time indoors at Kevin’s Tarzana
home or while visiting Britney in rehab.
“They are seldom
outdoors, which could be bad for their health,” the source said. Kfed is
reportedly annoyed by the prospect of people profiting from the photographs in
advance of him brokering a deal to sell them,” an insider said.
Kfed is also rumored to
be negotiating a deal with an LA based production company to make a second
reality TV series, this time about his current plight as a single parent,
raising his kids, while Brit recovers in rehab.
Beckhams woes in finding an LA home
After a harrowing month spent trying to locate the right property, it seems Victoria
Beckham has found a nest for her man and her clan, clinching a deal to
occupy a $20 million dollar mansion once occupied by Meg
Ryan.
Could it be Posh has a Russel Crowe fetish? secretly hankering for permananet stubble,
alcohol breath and Aussie drawl from her metrosexual soccer star David?
Insiders say Ryan actually occupied the house when she had her famous tryst
with Crowe way back in the nineties, which inevitably led to
the downfall of her then marriage to Dennis Quaid.
Insiders say the pair did far more in the upscale property
than rehease lines for Proof Of Life. The Bel Air
property, just a stone's throw from Tomkat's residence is a steal for the
Beckham's who originally set their LA property budget at $30 million.
As per their aversion to any renovations, the home is fully
decked out in Mediterranean decor, with ten bedrooms and five bathrooms.
There's also a tennis court, swimming pool, gym, but as yet no soccer field.

Robbie's La La Land
The wild Hollywood lifestyle of embattled crooner Robbie Williams is at the core of his addiction issues,
with regular private parties at his
Hollywood
mansion filled with drugs booze and sex.
According to an insider Robbie's fear of
media scrutiny saw him preferring private over the top parties at his
Hollywood mansion rather than let loose in LA's host of
hipster nightspots. At home Robbie was able to truly indulge his wild side and
avoid the cameras and comments.
Sources say Robbie often hosted private parties, sometimes two in a week,
letting a select group of friends and acquaintances know by email and text
message. Some of Williams in house nights followed the popular LA "tray
party," trend, whereby various illegal an legal
drugs are placed on a tray for all to share.
According to a source who attended several of the parties "There were
masses of drugs on hand, including piles of cocaine,
heroin, weed, GBH and ecstacy and various prescription pills, like
Vicodin and Xanax. It was like a chemist. There was also well stocked bar with
a barman serving virtually anything you wanted," a source claimed.
The source claimed Williams house parties were always
bawdy, with people romping naked and having sex openly in front of others.
"People were going into rooms and having sex, dancing half naked, swimming
in the pool and chasing one another about, it was a really wild time. This
would carry on till well past sunrise, I can remember staying for two days on
one occasion.
The insider claimed Williams was quite spontaneous about his
parties, holding up to six a month if the mood struck. On other occasions, the
often solitary singer would lie low, remaining at his home alone watching
movies.
The source says, those attending the parties were generally
known to Williams and selected by people close to him, including his housemate.
"It was a typical LA crowd, many were Brits involved in the entertainment
biz, while others work in fashion and music," the source revealed.
While there were many drugs on hand, the insider
say they seldom saw Robbie indulge. Despite having a house full of
guests, the eccentric star would often retreat to his bedroom with a new gal
pal, and remain there for the entire duration of the party.
In addition to attracting LA's glamour set the source claims
high class hookers were another mainstay of Robbie's wild nights." A team
of working girls often showed up towards the end
of the evening. Robbie's assistant would arrange it and they would disappear
into a bedroom with two girls each."

Britney's Lost Night
After her bizarre head shaving incident on Friday night,
torn starlet Britney Spears is said to be sorely
regretting her new do and will remain in exile until she decides what to do
with it.
Insiders say Brit's mum Lynn is furious, while her manager
Larry Rudolph is also annoyed, stating its a big no no
for her image. Insiders say Brit will now face the added chore of being fitted
with a wig whenever she performs or has to face a photo op.
According to an insider, "Britney was wasted when she
visited the hairdresser and tattoo parlor, she's been taking a cocktail of
Vicodin and anti depressants and hasn’t been herself since the Grammy's. It was
the ultimate act of self sabotage, her way of telling her critics she doesnt
care less what anyone thinks of her."
The source claims Brit finally succumbed to pressure from
friends and family and checked into the
Crossroads Clinic in
Antigua last week, but left after she objected to the spartan conditions and the fact
that she wouldnt see her kids for nearly a month.
"Britney doesnt really think she has a substance abuse
or alcohol problem. She's always partied as much its just that before she didnt have two kids and she did it at home with her
partners. As someone in her early twenties she'd jus lay off for a week and
work out everyday, now that she hasnt been doing that, its effected her
physically."
Meanwhile an out of control Britney headed to Cedars Sinai
Medical Centre in
Beverly Hills at around 2am
after her bizarre night of shaving her head and getting new tattoos. Sources at
the hospital say a manic Brit wanted help after she started suffering panic
attacks.

anxiety attack and needed medication to calm her down. After she was examined
by a doctor she was given a sedative and driven home by a minder."
Kfed And JT Bond
Britney Spears exes Justin
Timberlake and Kevin Federline were surprisingly chummy when they met at JT's
pre Grammy bash on Friday at LA's prestige music venue Club Avalon.
Insiders say the pair converged on the red carpet while
entering the venue and shared a close moment. As Kfed stood answering questions
to media along the red carpet line, Timberlake walked past the media scrum,
avoiding questions as he hurried into the club where he was performing.
"When Justin got level with Kfed on the red carpet he
yelled hey Kev. A surprised KFed then turned
around smiling, he then held out his arms and they hugged, Kev was obviously
surprised and said, "Love you man," and Justin responded, "Go
for it man, rock on."
Insiders say the exchange, was relatively brief, but the
pair were seen chatting again inside after JT's 40 minute set later that
evening. "The were talking and laughing for about 20 minutes, they were both laughing and slapping one another."
Insiders say the pair not only share taste in women, but also for cigarettes of
the herbal variety. " They rolled up backstage

The party, which raged on well after 3am attracted a
plethora of stars, including the likes of Scarlet Johanssen, Cisco Adler, John
Maher and Jessica Simpson, The Black Eyed Peas, Nic Lachey, and a squiffy Alicia Keys. Insiders say JT partied a little too much,
which is the real reason he failed to perform again at a post Grammy’s party
the following day.
Timberlake claimed a 103 degree temperature, prevented him from performing at
the Clive Davis Pre Grammy's bash on saturday but insiders say it was a little too much
indulgence. Fortunately the crooner was fighting it for Grammy's Sunday,
offering a killer rendition of the classic Aint No Sunshine.
Friday's concert was more substantial.lDanity Kane opened
the show with a brief set and then
Neptunes'

boys by her side.
Brit was seen choreographing a team of dancers and gettin'
into the groove herself. "She actually nursedJayden in one arm while
directing two dancers with the other," a witness said.
Brit's assistant was on hand and helped Brit with th two boys during the dance studio session. Jayden and Sean
were overseen by her nmanny while she clapped her nahs and offered encouraging
words to the dancers as they sweated it out for over 40 minutes to a gruelling
routine.

Spears has a new favorite nightspot in LA, burlesque club Forty Deuce on Melrose Blvde.
Taking yet another night off from her kids and recording her forthcoming album,
Brit and pals have attended the club on three occasions in the same week.
Not content to just watch the show, club sources say a
wobbly Brit decided to storm the stage while the club’s eight member
troupe were on a break. Drink in one hand ciggie in the other, Brit gyrated to
the retro hit “I Love Roc And Roll,” By Joan Jett
According to a club source, “she downed several cocktails at around 11pm and
was pretty wasted, howling at the dancers and trying to jump up on stage at
every opportunity.Aty one stage security had to get her off the stage so the
show could start.”
“Britney needed help walking from her car into the club when she arrived,
and she proceeded to get worse. Brit is particularly interested on one of the
dancer at the club, a 22 year old brunette named Lisa, who she wanted to meet
after the show,” the insider claimed.
Sources say a decidedly wobbly Brit headed to the club on three occasions over
recent weeks, on December 13, 16 and again on
December 19. Forty Deuce, famous for its team of eight trained burlesque
dancers, charges $20 entry and stages three separate shows throughout the
