David Blaine to attempt to break world record for staying awake

blp-000112.jpg
David Blaine is trying to remain relevant in the field of public endurance feats that he stupidly popularized. When you starve, drown, get buried alive, frozen, and spun around for days, it’s hard to top yourself, but Blaine is going to try. The worlds most celebrated modern masochist is going to attempt to break the world record of staying awake for more then eleven days, and he plans to do it standing up:

“I’m dropping 30 pounds,” he told me. “I do two hours every day on the treadmill. I’m on a raw diet that includes brown rice. No red meat. No animal products besides cooked fish.

“It’s been tried before. In 1959, Peter Tripp stayed awake eight days, but it resulted in permanent brain damage. In 1964, 17-year-old Randy Gardner did it for a high school science project. He lasted 11½ days but recovered fully. No damage. A guy in London tried but fell short. Another did 19 hours [sic] but slept two hours each night, so that doesn’t count. Also he was seated in a rocking chair. If I do this thing, which you claim I’m doing, I’ll do it on my feet. Standing up.

“After 36 hours of sleep deprivation it’s like being drunk, 72 hours and paranoia sets in, Day Four the mind goes into hallucinations and you’re dreaming while awake. The problem is there’s no way to know how to offset brain damage or to train for this because there isn’t sufficient research. I believe the first guy’s mistake was not being in great physical condition. Also he used stimulants to keep awake, which I assume did him in.

[From Cindy Adams' column in the NY Post]

On November 1st, Blaine blogged that he would begin his next challenge in May, 2008 and that he was training for it and eating mostly raw food.

This is the guy who thought he could break the world record for holding his breath after he spent a week underwater. He seems to routinely overestimate his ability. How much can you prepare for not sleeping for a week and a half? Does it make a difference if you’re thin and fit? Doesn’t that seem like the kind of thing you’d need to be both physically prepared and genetically predisposed to accomplish?

The longest I’ve ever stayed awake was for three days in college, and it was probably more like two and a half days. It’s hard to remember as it wasn’t an entirely natural experience. It’s uncomfortable and makes you crazy not to sleep. David Blaine is just a little crazy to even attempt it. He somehow has escaped unscathed from all the trials he’s put his body through, but you can’t help but think that his brain has been affected or he wouldn’t think it’s a good idea to keep pulling stunts that push his body to the limit. Maybe if the news cycle wasn’t so fast Blaine could take a break for a year.

Will Smith says Scientology teachings are 98% identical to Bible

dgg-017337.jpg
Add Will Smith to the list of celebrities duped into endorsement Scientology by rockstar-level perks and star treatment not afforded the members who end in forking over their life savings and all free will to the harmful cult. There are even rumors that along with giving celebrities free vacations and catering to their every whim, Scientology pays heavily for the priceless endorsements given by high-level stars.

While not admitting that he’s a current member of the cult, Will Smith gives an implicit endorsement to them. He compares Scientology to the Bible in a new interview with Men’s Vogue. He shows that he has little understanding of Scientology by saying “like 98 percent of the principles [of Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible”

Fox News says that Smith is “coming out” as a Scientologist, but while he gives them a raving endorsement he minces words a little, never directly admitting that he’s a member. He says “in all of the experiences I’ve had with Tom and Scientology,” suggesting he’s a dabbler doing a favor to Tom in mentioning it, and isn’t a full blown follower of the cult. So, like Jerry Seinfeld, maybe he’s just saying stupidly that it’s A-OK with him but that he isn’t currently involved with it:

Smith admits in the issue of Men’s Vogue on sale Tuesday that he has studied Scientology with Tom Cruise and doesn’t disagree with its basic tenets.

In doing so, he finally “comes out,” joining Cruise, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and a handful of other Hollywood types in their devotion to this controversial religion.

For a long time, Smith has denied joining the Church of Scientology with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, explaining that it would go against the beliefs of his late grandmother. But for some time, insiders in Hollywood have insisted the Smiths were, indeed, brought in by Cruise.

Smith concedes that his kids are being home-schooled, just as are those of Cruise, Travolta and other Scientologists.

In the article, Smith refers to “Thetans,” who are space aliens in the vernacular of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

“… in all of the experiences I’ve had with Tom and Scientology, like 98 percent of the principles are identical to the principles of the Bible,” Smith tells Men’s Vogue writer Hudson Morgan.

“The Bible says, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ And you know, there’s a Scientology principle: ‘Do not create experiences for others that they cannot comfortably perceive.’”

He continues: “The Bible talks about your spirit being immortal, that you were created for existence beyond your physical body. Well, that’s no different from Scientology. I don’t think that because the word someone uses for ’spirit’ is ‘thetan’ that the definition becomes any different.”

[From FoxNews.com via The Huffington Post]

By acting like Scientology is this benign religion, celebrities are doing their part to help dupe countless people into trying it. It’s a harmful cult that stops at nothing to discredit and harass anyone that dares question their illogical, sneaky, and cruel tactics. It’s not a religion, nor do it’s teachings have more than a superficial resemblance to the bible. And unlike the Bible, which is free and available to all, the Scientologists have gone to great pains to hide their central beliefs, holding out on their version of the origins of mankind and what will happen at the end of the world until members reach the highest levels, which take years of study and tens of thousands of dollars.

Scientology was started by a failed drug addict science fiction writer whose express purpose was to get rich by bilking people. Will Smith may make a living out of pretending to slay evil-doers, but he’s sure stupid enough in his personal life to do their bidding. Maybe good will prevail in the end and Will Smith will denounce Scientology, but they probably have enough dirt on him to make that very difficult for him.

Update: US Weekly notes that Smith lumps Scientology in with more established legitimate religions in that same interview, saying “I’ve studied Buddhism and Hinduism, and I’ve studied Scientology through Tom [Cruise].” So he’s not saying that he’s a member, just that he tried it. They also note that his wife, Jada, is “more gung-ho about Scientology than Will.”

Tom Cruise and Will Smith are shown at the Lions for Lambs premiere on 11/1/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

Lindsay Lohan Wants To Become “The Human Magnet”


Either Lohan is after a superhero role or all that time in rehab has taken Lindsay into an entirely new realm of weird. I have never heard of “magnetism lessons,” but Li-Lo has found herself a coach to achieve the power.

“I’ve always been interested in off-the-wall abilities. And this is a really interesting phenomenon. I’d love to find out more about it and try and pinpoint what causes these supernatural abilities.”

[Starpulse]

The theory is that you can move magnetic and metal objects using the power of your mind. To achieve her desired X-Men Magneto power, she has hired Aurel Raileanu to come to LA to enlighten her. Raileanu is a 40 year old Romanian hospital worker who made the Guinness World Records for lifting a 50 pound tv set. She has reportedly offered him a huge amount of cash for his troubles.

Lindsay may be set on treating him like a hired teacher, but it appears he has different ideas. Seeing the chance to cash in on her star power he admitted to the Daily Star he is looking for more.

“The last serious relationship I had was four years ago,’ he tells the Daily Star. ‘I would very much like to get married.”

[From The Daily Star]

If she has so much time and money to burn, why doesn’t she go out and buy one of those annoying hairless dogs to carry around in her purse like every other Hollywood nut job. Perhaps she should try a hobby that might be easier. Like collecting stamps or…sobriety.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Here is Lohan reporting for her first day of community service at the American Red Cross in Pomona, California. She is serving ten days of community service and won’t get any jail time for her two DUI arrests. That’s entirely fair considering how many people’s lives she endangered. Maybe she helped them move a bunch of copy machines. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Paris Hilton dons stripper soldier costume in honor of our troops (update)


Paris Hilton gave a red carpet interview before her Halloween party at LAX last night and said that her super-short army fatigue dress was in honor of our troops. She said “I’m wearing this for the troops because I know they’re having a hard time right now and don’t really get to celebrate Halloween.” It looks like she’s doing that charity work she mentioned on Larry King Live back when she got out of jail.

At least she gave a shout out to the troops serving in Iraq.

Maybe every time Paris wears a slutty outfit she can come up with a creative charitable reason. Like she’s wearing a bikini in honor of the poor refugees who don’t have clothing. That way, she can continue to wear skimpy outfits while promoting various vaguely related causes.

Speaking of Paris and charity in the same breath, her Rwanda trip hasn’t been canceled, just postponed. She told Extra that the trip will be next year. In the mean time all she has to do is continue dressing like a slut and she can feel content that she’s helping save the world.

Update: Paris dressed as a prisoner later that night and said it was in honor of the disproportionate number of minorities incarcerated in the US. Ok, I made that second part up.

Thanks to WENN for these pictures.

Nicole Richie says she didn’t smoke; Another pregnant celebrity did

kerrykatonasmokingwhilepreg.jpgSix months pregnant Nicole Richie has denied yesterday’s report from The NY Post that she was seen smoking outside of two different restaurants in NY. She says through a rep that not only did she not smoke, she also was nowhere near NY recently and has been out of the country:

Richie’s rep tells Extra that accounts of Richie smoking are “irresponsible and untrue.” And while columnist Cindy Adams claims Richie lit up outside New York restaurants DaSilvano and Nobu (with fiance and father-to-be Joel Madden, even), Richie and Madden are reportedly abroad and nowhere near New York.

[From USWeekly]

Richie has said that she wants a natural birth and told Diane Sawyer that she doesn’t allow people to smoke around her and has given up anything that could possibly harm the baby, including caffeine and sushi. While there is only hearsay to back up reports of a pregnant Nicole behaving irresponsibly, there’s another pseudo celebrity in Britain who can’t deny pictures of her smoking after going on a drinking bender three months into her pregnancy. Former Atomic Kitten member and “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” winner Kerry Katona, who recently announced that she is due with her fourth child in May, was photographed smoking after she reportedly downed four martinis and a shot of vodka:

Kerry, twice Celebrity Mum of the Year, downed FOUR MARTINIS and a slug of VODKA in a pub with pals—despite being 12 weeks into an already troubled fourth pregnancy.

Then she popped to a restaurant over the road for a Chinese meal—and puffed greedily on a ciggie outside in the cold. One surprised drinker said: “Everyone knows Kerry’s pregnant so it was a bit of a shock to see her drinking and smoking.

“But she just said, ‘What the hell, a couple can’t hurt’.

“She went to the bar and ordered pints for the others and Martini for herself. It was the same round when the others were buying—and she also had a shot of vodka. She knocked it back in one, winced and then wiped her hand across her mouth and put the glass down.”

Her behaviour is even more shocking after her pregnancy with Heidi was beset by a string of miscarriage scares before the litle girl was born in February.

And the 27-year-old ex-Atomic Kitten star was also rushed into hospital last month—on the day she announced she was pregnant again. At first Kerry—who is married to ex-cabbie Mark Croft, 37, and also has daughters, Molly, six, and Lilly-Sue, four, by her first husband, former Westlife star Brian McFadden—was told she’d lost the baby.

But when she returned later the same day still feeling unwell, doctors discovered its heartbeat.

[From News Of The World via Gossip Rocks]

News of The World isn’t the most reliable source, and while Katona was photographed smoking, they may have embellished the part about how much booze she downed. There was a lot of controversy over a statement that Rachel Weisz made last year about how European doctors said that it was ok to drink while you’re pregnant - except not in the first three months while the fetus was most vulnerable. I had my only pregnancy in America, and my doctors told me not to drink at all. Once a midwife said I could have a glass of wine if I was in labor and I looked at her like she had two heads. Some obstetricians will tell you that an occasional glass is fine, especially in Europe, but it doesn’t seem worth the risk to your baby to me.

There was a recent study that found that moderate drinking posed no ascertainable risk to the baby after three months, and British associations are rethinking a ban on alcohol during pregnancy. When there’s no benefit to the baby from drinking though, why would you risk your baby’s health?

So Kerry Katona is supposedly downing shots and martinis when she’s barely three months’ pregnant, and she’s justifying smoking by making the ridiculous statement that stress from not smoking is worse for the baby! Commentors on ONTD on the post about Nicole Richie smoking brought up this photo that appeared in The Roanoke Times about a woman worrying about stress to her fetus from nearby construction noise - while she was smoking a cigarette. Snopes.com verifies that this is an actual newspaper clipping that was not doctored.

George Clooney installs intruder egg-throwing machine at his estate

jtm-029903.jpg
Prankster George Clooney helped design a special egg-throwing machine at his Lake Como estate that will send raw eggs in the direction of intruders that cross an infrared sensor. He asks his staff to tell him if people get egged, and it sounds like he gets a real kick out of it:

[George Clooney] recently installed an egg-throwing machine at his mansion on Italy’s ritzy Lake Como. The machine, which the hunky actor helped design, hurls rag eggs at those who cross an infrared sensor in front of his 15-bedroom Villa Oleandra. “He’s thrilled with it,” says a source, “and has told his Italian staff to give him daily updates on what happens to the worst offenders!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, November 5, 2007]

You know that device is for the paparazzi that hang out hoping to get some photos of Clooney cavorting with one of his many lady friends. I wonder if someone will try to sue him when an expensive camera gets ruined.

Meanwhile there’s even more evidence that Clooney hasn’t lost his quirky sense of humor, or that he just gets stupid when he’s drunk. He took a big metal ball off a piece of sculpture art at a Milan hotel during a party thrown by Georgia Armani. George proceeded to act like it was a bowling ball, hurling it down the hall and causing about 20k worth of damage in one shot. Armani quietly picked up the tab for Clooney’s dumb move:

The designer [Georgia Armani] hosted a part at the Hotel Prinipe di Savoia Milano during Fashion Week in Milan in 2006. Since the Michael Clayton star lives in nearby Lake Como, Georgio invited him as a guest. To get the party going, the grinning actor took a heavy metal ball that was balanced as an obelisk on a sculpture and started using it as bowling ball! [He] threw the ball down the marble hallway, yelling “Strike!” Hotel excs estimated that George did $20,000 worth of damage to the hallway. According to an insider at the hotel, an embarassed Giorgio, 73, paid the bill himself, just in time for this year’s Fashion Week.

If this happened like In Touch is reporting, why did it take a year for the news to get out? They’re saying that Armani just paid the bill, so maybe it took that long for the hallway to be repaired or maybe he was waiting to see if Clooney would offer to pay for it. Who does stupid shit like this except drunken college students? You think Clooney would know better, and maybe he does and just assumes that whatever happens he has the cash to deal with it.

Clooney is shown on 10/2/07 on the set of Burn After Reading, thanks to PR Photos.

Halle Berry’s offensive remark removed from Tonight Show, w/ video

halleberryjayleno1.jpg
Halle Berry was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on 10/19, showing him pictures of her face distorted that she made on her Mac. She shows what a technological idiot she is by asking Jay if he’s hip and knows about this program Photobooth on the Mac where “you point the camera toward you, and it morphs your face into all these silly other people.” (That’s so Kai Power Tools circa 1996, but whatever.) She says she uses the program to mess with her face and cheer herself up when she’s feeling down. The first picture she shows is of herself with a distorted nose, blurting “‘This one, this is like my Jewish cousin!”

She then said “That’s mean!” Jay said “I’m glad you said it, ok great,” and she answered “OMG have I just like ruined my whole career?”

Here’s a video clip of that part of the show with the remark cut out.

Page Six reports that the audience was dead silent afterwards and that they added the laugh track afterwards when they cut out the “Jewish” part.

She was embarrassed after the show, realizing the enormous anti-semitic blunder she’d made, and then try to backtrack by saying her Jewish assistants thought it up, not her. She apologized to everyone, and asked The Tonight Show to cover her ass by cutting that remark, which they did:

According to one audience member, “She introduced the first photo by saying, ‘Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!’ - it was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, ‘I’m glad you said that and not me.’ When the show aired, they cut out her ‘Jewish’ comment and added a laugh track to the bit.”

Another guest in the audience told us, “If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word ‘Jewish,’ though obviously there is no audio. NBC covered her a - -. Ms. Berry should know how unbelievably inappropriate her comment was . . . She should be ashamed of herself.”

Berry, 41, who sounded like she was near tears, told Page Six last night: “I so didn’t mean to offend anybody - and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did.”

The gorgeous actress, who is 4 1/2 months pregnant with her first child, by boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, said, “What happened was I was backstage before the show and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said [of the big-nose picture], ‘That could be your Jewish cousin!’ And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn’t mean to offend anybody. I didn’t. I didn’t mean any harm.”

Berry, who even offered to call Page Six’s source and apologize in person, said, “It was just a lighthearted segment that was meant to make fun of myself. There was a picture where I said I looked like Monica Lewinsky and one where I said I looked like Jay. It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize.”

[From Page Six]

That’s all pretty weak, but at least she owned up to it and apologized afterwards. Halle Berry just lost about 20 points in my estimation. If I didn’t have a strong opinion of her before, I do now. It doesn’t seem mean-spirited so much as just ignorant and stupid.

Thanks to user JonDonnis on Superior Pics for the full video download. We cut this version from that.

Jessica Seinfeld busted plaguarizing recipes (update)

jessicaseinfeldbusted.jpg
When we covered the story of how Jessica Seinfeld kissed Oprah’s ass for making her new cookbook a best seller, I mentioned that commentors on Amazon were saying that the book was not as good as an earlier one that also had recipes to trick your kids to eat vegetables by sneaking them into other foods, The Sneaky Chef. It turns out that not only is the idea for Seinfeld’s book unoriginal, the recipes are suspiciously similar to that Sneaky Chef book, which came out this April.

Seinfeld’s book Deceptively Delicious is the top selling book in the US now, and she might need the proceeds from sales to pay for hefty litigation from Missy Chase Lapine, the author of The Sneaky Chef.

Just listen to how close the earlier book’s recipes are to Seinfeld’s:

But chef and baby-products mogul Missy Chase Lapine came out in April with a book, “The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals.” Lapine baked her spinach brownies with Al Roker on the “Today” show; Seinfeld shared her spinach brownies with Oprah on that show last week.

Mothers on Oprah.com and parenting sites have noted similarities after perusing the puree-spattered pages of both. Some wondered whether the wealthy Seinfeld didn’t have cooks who helped cook up her recipes.

Seinfeld writes about having an epiphany that, “While I was cooking dinner, pureeing butternut squash for the baby and making mac and cheese for the rest of us, I had the crazy idea of stirring a little of the puree into the macaroni. … The colors matched -you couldn’t really see the squash in there -and the texture was perfect.”

Lapine, who founded the Baby Spa natural products line, writes: “If you want to hide something in macaroni and cheese, you have to match the color of the dish. You could easily introduce white bean puree in the mac and cheese.”

Seinfeld and Lapine both have recipes for mashed potatoes with hidden cauliflower, grilled cheese with secret sweet potatoes, green eggs made with pureed baby spinach, and carrot-laced tacos.

Lapine stayed hidden herself when we called, but Craig Herman, an executive at her publisher, Running Press, said ominously: “I won’t be able to comment until next week.”

[From NY Daily News]

I could see if Seinfeld had one or two of the same recipes as the earlier cookbook. You might independently come up with a couple of the same combinations if you’re using that concept, like cauliflower with mashed potatoes or spinach in brownies. But green eggs with pureed baby spinach, carrots in tacos and grilled cheese with sweet potatoes? That’s too unique to be a coincidence.

One commentor on Amazon said she did a taste comparison with her friends and their kids of those recipes Seinfeld ripped off from Lapine’s book, and the original Sneaky Chef won for every recipe that Seinfeld copied for Deceptively Delicious. There was just one draw, for a peanut butter and jelly muffin recipe.

I hope Seinfeld has to give a high percentage of the proceeds of her book to the earlier author. It’s not fair that celebrities and their relatives can go into any field they want and become instant successes on name power and insider connections. (Thanks Commentor Granger for bringing this up on the earlier post.)

The author of The Sneaky Chef, Missy Chase Lapine, is a chef on the faculty of The New School in NY City, and is the former publisher of Eating Well magazine. She also founded a natural baby care product line called Baby Spa. What did Jessica Seinfeld do other than leave her rich husband right after her honeymoon to hook up with an infinitely richer husband? Oh that’s right, she was in marketing at Tommy Hilfiger, and she has kids. That must qualify her to write a cookbook.

Maybe this will make publishers and financial backers think twice before greenlighting projects by celebrities who think that they can go into anything on a whim. Seinfeld probably read The Sneaky Chef and thought “I can do that too, and if I change the recipes a little no one will ever know.”

Update: People Magazine reports that Seinfeld told The Wall St. Journal “I’ve never held that book in my hands, and I swear that on my life.” That’s a curious choice of words, especially considering that the full chapter listing of all recipes is available for The Sneaky Chef online at Amazon.

Britney applies for job as bartender, continues tour of coffee shops


Another day, another “Britney is f’cked up” story. Today’s episode of Britney’s all-too-public travails involves the pop star, who has more wealth than most of us could amass in several lifetimes, applying for a job as a bartender. She spoke to the bartender at the latest hotel she checked into and actually submitted an application to apply for a job. Maybe she wants to do research for an upcoming video where she’ll play both a bartender and a patron, wearing different color wigs to make her dual roles that much more believable.

A court-ordered-sober Britney Spears applied for a new job on Thursday as a … wait for it … bartender!! — Sources inside the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, Calif. tell TMZ Brit checked in Thursday and at around 10:30 PM went downstairs and started talking with a bartender.

We’re told Spears told the bartender she wanted to do what she did — then asked for and obtained an application from the night manager to work in the hotel’s “Cameo Bar.”

We’re told the application is currently with Human Resources

[From TMZ.com]

There are several ways this could go for this hotel. They could actually give Britney a job, dealing with the influx of hoards of paparazzi and gawking members of the public who will invariably turn up. They’ll make some money for a day and benefit from the notoriety that comes with having Britney as an employee. She won’t figure out how to mix a jack and coke despite the fact that she drinks them every day, but she’ll bring in the business. She’ll quit within a few hours and they won’t have to deal with her after that. From the website for the hotel, the place looks like it’s too fancy and dignified for that.

A more likely scenario is that someone who works there will get a copy of her application and sell it to a tabloid or to TMZ. She never graduated from correspondence course high school, so there are bound to be misspelled words and funny responses when filling out her employment history. I wonder what she wrote in for her previous jobs? She can count pop star, television sitcom guest star, and reality show star among them, although she only did one of those well.

Oh and the reason Britney didn’t answer the door during her first scheduled visit with her boys wasn’t because the intercom at her posh mansion was broken, as was suggested in previous reports. She just didn’t want to deal with the parenting coach, according to TMZ:

Sources tell TMZ the real reason Britney Spears didn’t answer her buzzer when her kids came to visit last Thursday is because she wants nothing to do with anyone who tries to tell her how to be a good parent. — We’re told Britney was well aware that her kids were coming at 10:00 AM.

[From TMZ.com]

Now that story sounds more likely than the “broken intercom” tale. Maybe the person who broke into Britney’s house over the weekend smashed the intercom on their way out.

Britney is shown eating jelly beans from inside a mobile phone shop. She also visited a coffee bean coffee retailer and spilled coffee on herself yesterday, you can see the stains in the picture. Thrilling, isn’t it? Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Britney Spears charged with hit and run and driving without a license

britneytears1.jpg
Britney Spears has been formally charged for the August 6th fender bender she caused in a parking lot. Multiple paparazzi filmed and photographed the incident, in which Britney rammed her car into the side of a parked Mercedes station wagon. She got out afterwards and looked at her own car to assess the damage, but didn’t think twice about the other person’s car or look at it and she definitely didn’t leave a note. Here’s the video of the hit and run if you didn’t see it the first time.

The woman whose car that was even told the press that she was never contacted by Britney or her people. Now, at the worst time for Britney, although pretty much any time in the last 6-8 months could have been considered the worst time for her, she’s being charged with a hit and run causing property damanage for that fender bender. No one was hurt or anything, but she was incredibly careless and self-centered, and as JayBird wrote at the time she should have realized she wouldn’t get away with it.

Well, she didn’t, and she also didn’t get away with driving without a license on top of that. She doesn’t have a license to drive in the state of California, where she’s lived for years. It is unknown if she has a license in Louisiana, but if she did have one at some point it’s surely expired by now.

Both the hit and run and driving without a license charges are misdemeanors, and she could get up to six months in jail for each. It’s doubtful she’ll see the inside of a prison no matter how much we’re praying for it, though.

Spears was seen in tears entering her latest lawyer’s office Friday afternoon after she learned of the charges. She will be arraigned on October 10th.

Britney may as well just order up a few pitchers of frozen margaritas, pop a couple Xanax (thanks Diva) and settle in. She’s got a lot of things weighing on her and probably just wants to be comfortable and oblivious in that giant hole she’s dug for herself. There’s a rumor that she’s being urged to go back to rehab, but given her attitude about the last time she was in I doubt that’s going to happen.

Thanks to INFDaily for the header image and FlyNet Online for the video.
