Madonna Speaks Up for Britney Spears

She recently told E! that she wants to “go save” Britney Spears, and now Madonna is taking things a step further in the latest issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
Of Britney’s “very painful” situation Madge commented, “When you think about the way people treat each other in Africa, about witchcraft and people inflicting cruelty and pain on each other, then come back here and, you know, people taking pictures of people when they’re in their homes, being taken to hospitals, or suffering, and selling them, getting energy from them, that’s a terrible infliction of cruelty. So who’s worse off?”

The Material Girl, whose “Hard Candy” album comes out April 29th, also opened up about her own tumultuous upbringing in Detroit, Michigan. “I wasn’t a hippie or a stoner, so I ended up being the weirdo. I was interested in classical ballet and music, and the kids were quite mean if you were different. I was one of those people that people were mean to.

Rihanna and Chris Brown: What’s Really Going On?

The day after attending the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards separately, Rihanna and rumored boyfriend Chris Brown did their best not to be photographed together as they spent Sunday afternoon at the Grove shopping center in Los Angeles.
According to a source at the scene, the Umbrella singer and and her beau shopped at the Apple store but entered and exited the computer shop minutes apart.

The insider adds, “Then, while waiting for a movie to start, Chris chilled out on a bench with his hood up while Rihanna and her girlfriend headed off to get a bite to eat.”
There’s been much speculation as to the level of the two’s relationship, with Chris recently trying to pacify rumors of a serious relationship by saying, “We’re not in a relationship or anything.”
But with the amount of time they spend together, it sure seems like something’s brewing.

Paris Hilton Tries Out Belly Dancing

There’s an old saying that goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” And apparently that adage also applies to Istanbul, at least when Paris Hilton is involved.
The “Simple Life” babe was in the Turkish city yesterday as a judge in the Miss Turkey 2008 pageant when she became a little more involved with the proceedings than she had planned.

A performing belly dancer escorted her onto the stage during a routine and led Paris through a few traditional moves before letting her return to her seat. And Miss Hilton looked relieved to sit back down.
Prior to the competition, she told press, “This is my first time judging anything like this. I’m going to look at how the girls carry themselves, what they look like, the way they dress and what they say.”

Paris on Air.

Spencer Pratt Offers His Two Cents

Appropriately being released a day after the third season premiere of The Hills, Spencer Pratt debuted his new advice column for Radar magazine on Tuesday.
One reader asked of Spencer, “I just started dating this guy who I really like. The other night, we went out and got hammered. I ended up passing out in his bed. When I woke up, I discovered that I had wet the bed. I was so embarrassed that I left while he was still asleep. If I call him, do I have to apologize or can I pretend it never happened? Or do I have to wait for him to call me?”

In response, Pratt replied: “Wow! This is a situation you do not want to find yourself in. I personally would never want to be with a girl who gets so wasted that she’s pissing in bed. It’s time to sign up for AA, my dear, because drunks are not sexy.”
“Regardless, if the guy’s really, really, really cool, he might understand. But I wouldn’t count on it. Best bet is to be honest and tell him that was the drunkest you’ve ever been and that it was a huge mistake and it’ll never happen again. And make sure you buy him new sheets,” he added.
Meanwhile, Spencer’s girlfriend Heidi Montag has been busy with the launch of her second single, “No More,” in which she sings: “I wish that I never loved you. I should have never let you have my heart/You made me not want to feel again/Made me scared to open up/Now I’m better off/No more bad days/Don’t need you to validate me.”
Umm.

Jessica Alba’s Pampered Pregnancy

Dressed up in a sporty white zip-up hoodie and a pair of comfy grey sweats, Jessica Alba stepped out on Tuesday afternoon for a little personal pampering.
The Awake actress pried her way through a mob of paparazzi as she headed into Nails Design on Wilshire Blvd to get her nails done.

As previously reported by Gossip Girls, Alba and her boyfriend Cash Warren are expecting their first child together sometime in June.
Of the anticipation involved in becoming a first-time mother, Alba tells: “I’m excited. I’m going to love my child to the most that I possibly can. I have a different perspective on things now. Things that used to be so important, like my work, aren’t as much anymore. Now, it’s family.”

Jessica is soon to become a mummy.

Jennifer Lopez Shows Off Baby Twins

The much anticipated wait is finally over, as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony proudly showed off their newborn baby twins to the world.
Emme and Max candidly posed with their famous parents for a photo shoot which landed them on the cover of People magazine. And of the interview that will be accompanying People’s photoshoot when the magazine hits newsstands tomorrow (March 21), People deputy managing editor Peter Castro said in a statement: “They spoke candidly about the pregnancy, addressing everything from Jennifer’s weight gain to rumors of infertility.”
Rumor has it that People coughed up anywhere between $4 million and $6 million for U.S. rights to the first photographs of the babies - but a spokeswoman for People said on Wednesday that “recent speculation in the press is wrong,” refusing to comment further.

Wow, See Beauty.
