Britney’s boyguard and inexperienced manny, Perry Taylor, wanted to become a US Navy Seal, but a bad stint in the Navy caused by too much boozing and carousing squashed his dreams and forced him to take a career in security:

Perry may have been a drinker like a lot of young people, but he’s still ten times better than K-Fed, whose only brush with responsibility was working as a back up dancer and trying to start a career in a field he’s completely inadequate in.

Britney and K-Fed were photographed together for the first time in weeks. K-Fed looked tired and uncomfortable with his family, in contrast to the calm and slightly bemused look that Perry Taylor sports when he’s helping Britney with Sean Preston, which isn’t even in his job description. Perry seems like a stand up guy with a regular past that isn’t too embarassing.

Here are Perry’s family pictures, which are a bit blurry and not terribly interesting, but you might want to see them. Thanks to BritneySpears.nu for the story and pictures.

Kate Beckinsale has reportedly moved out of the home she shares with her husband of almost two years, director Len Wiseman:

The Sun is a terrible source, and they run fake news all the time, but if this is true it must mean they’re having trouble at least. We’ll just have to wait and see.

One of the commentors, Agent Orange, on the board where we found the news notes that Wiseman made Kate a star and that this could be the end of her career:

Kate is rather popular and we doubt this will mean that she no longer gets roles.

Here are Kate and Len out in Santa Monica in March and April

In an interview with Matt Lauer to air in Thursday night, Britney defends driving with her baby on her lap, saying that she often sat on her dad’s lap as a child while he was behind the wheel, and that the practice is “country”:

In this case “country” is code for “stupid,” which is sure to piss off non city-dwellers everywhere.

Britney also defends her marriage with the absent Kevin, saying it’s awesome that he’s not living in the basement:

It’s not true that Kevin’s living in the basement because he’s sleeping on a friend’s couch in an apartment in Studio City, California and hasn’t seen Britney in weeks. In her book that’s awesome because Kevin is even more “country” than she is and she’s afraid he’ll endanger Sean Preston if he comes back to smoke up the house again with his pals.

It’s sad that she thinks the paparrazi is the cause of her emotional state, but she should blame Kevin for that, not the hoards of photographers that follow her everywhere.

Maybe being humped by dolphins skeeved Jessica Alba out so bad that she became a germ-o-phobe, because she admits to using antibacterial Febreze liberally when she has to stay in hotels:

It’s not like Alba’s staying at the Comfort Inn, so she has a serious problem if she can’t trust the cleanliness at the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.

Alba hasn’t been seen with her boyfriend, Cash Warren, in some time. She was said to have broken his heart by deciding to move to NY in the near future, and may have discouraged him from proposing to her. Commentors on Jmazone.de note that Warren may be working in Vancouver, which could explain his absence.

Britian’s The Sun, which we do not trust, is reporting that Britney and Kevin spent the weekend together and that Britney is upset that Kevin wants to make a movie that glorifies his psuedo-gansta past, similar to “8 Mile,” except “8 Mile” was moderately accurate:

[via]

Now, if Britney and Kevin spent the weekend together, why do they mention it as an afterthought? They haven’t been photographed together in over two months and this would be huge news. The paparazzi follow them everywhere and there’s no way this part of the story is true.

It might be true that Kevin is planning a film based on his life though. That sounds like the sort of thing the incompetent rapper would try. He claims to have been in a gang in Fresno, California, but he was vague and declined to give details because there aren’t any.

Kevin, you’ve only hustled for Britney’s money, and that’s pretty inventive of you but it doesn’t really make you capable of a film career beyond the unwatchable “Chaotic.”

In related news, a couple of days ago we reported that Britney was going to design baby clothes. It’s probably true because sleuths at Socialite’s Life discovered that Britney has trademarked her infant son’s name, Sean Preston, suggesting that she’s planning a line of clothing under his name.

Here are outtakes from Britney’s magazine spread for Glamour UK. The official pictures came out in early May of this year. [via]

TMZ has a report stating that one of Kevin Federline’s boys has denied the rumors that Kevin and Britney are headed for a divorce:

Kevin’s staying in an apartment in California and hasn’t been spotted with Britney in 74 days according to Us Weekly’s counter. His friends are quick to say he’s still with Britney but clearly he’s not. Whether she’s filed and signed divorce papers yet is another matter.

The National Ledger points out that Kevin’s friends may say he’s still with Britney but that Britney and K-Fed’s publicists aren’t saying a word. Kevin’s publicist put out a press release when he donated his hair, so you know if he’s still with Britney they would be all over that.

Here is Britney at an Orange County resort yesterday with her manny, Henry.

Josh Harnett’s people have denied that he has broken up with Scarlett Johansson, as has been widely reported. Hartnett has been seen out with several different women, and people assumed that he had broken up with gorgeous Johannson, but his reps say that’s not true:

Hartnett was said to have broken up with Johansson back in late March, but they were spotted leaving a NY spa together after a couples’ massage about a week later.

Hartnett made a reference to his relationship problems in a video interview aired on TMZ in late March, saying:

For her part, Johansson is quoted as saying in January that she doesn’t think “human beings are monogamous creatures by nature.”

It sounds like Scarlett and Josh are having the type of on-again off-again relationship that is common with urban 20-somethings.

Here is Johansson at the CFDA Fashion Awards at the NY Public Library last night. She is pictured with Kerry Washington and Terrence Howard. [via]

Brad Pitt may be jealous of the former murder suspect who is running Angelina Jolie’s security force. Angelina calls the head of her security team, Mickey Brett, her “rock,” and seems to relinquish control to the man who has been her bodyguard since 2001. She’s supposedly even asked him to be Shiloh’s godfather:

If that’s true it doesn’t bode well for Pitt, who’s been widely blasted for serving as Angelina’s nanny, adopting her hobbies and interests, and generally catering to her every whim. Angelina may seem like she wants a “yes” man, but wimpy guys are easily discarded. Brad may look like less of a man when compared to a tough security guard who can set limits with Angelina.

Mickey Brett is considered a thug and is said to be responsible for the heavy-handed tactics of the Jolie-PItt security force in Namibia. Journalists have been followed, threatened, and beaten senseless for trying to get pictures of the famous family. Brett was suspected in the 1993 hiring death of a British tycoon, but was eventually cleared of charges due to lack of evidence

Pitt is said to be fed up with the heat and seclusion in Africa, and it’s reported that he plans to move the family back to the states in early July so that he can start work on “Oceans 13.”

Here are pictures of Pitt taken in NY about a year ago. [via]

On Thursday we reported that it looked like trouble for The O.C’s adorable on and off-screen couple, Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody. The pair were spotted separately last week, with a disheleved Brody jamming out at a concert and Bilson getting drunk at clubs with her girlfriends. It looks like we were wrong that the two were having trouble, since Brody and Bilson were caught out shopping by the ever-present paparrazi last week. They’re standing a little far apart, though we wouldn’t read too much into it.

Everyone was confused about Britney’s new baby-loving male companion. Some claimed it was her producer, J.R. Rotem and there was even one crazy rumor that we zealously reported that Britney was having an affair with her producer and that the baby she’s carrying might be his.

Later the guy was confirmed to be Britney’s male nanny, who perhaps does double-duty as a bodyguard. People were calling him by the uncommon name “Perry.”

It turns out the guy’s real name is “Henry,” and he seems rather likeable from this brief description:

Britney has an absent and soon to be ex - husband, but she has a sweet male nanny and a brand new Porsche! She was spotted out in the hot new convertible taking driving lessons so that she can learn to drive standard.

She’s giving the bird and hopefully the boot to Kevin, and taking back her life.

Here is Britney out driving her new car with a male instructor - not the manny. [via]

Update: This guy’s name is actually Perry, and you can read more about him here.
