Kevin Federline has been quoted talking about a magazine he and Britney plan on launching that will counter the gossip and fake news made up by the tabloids:

This sounds like one of those things you talk about with your spouse when you’ve had a few, like “Wouldn’t it be great if I started my own business?” and then they go and tell your friends about it when you haven’t really thought it through and didn’t want the news to come out.

I really doubt Britney and Kevin are clever enough to harness the talent to start a huge venture like this. Britney couldn’t even accept help getting prepared for a primetime TV interview, so this unlikely to happen.

Remember when Britney was said to be creating her own line of baby clothing and even took out a trademark for it? What happened with that?

She’s suing a bunch of tabloids from overseas in the hopes of getting some cash, so that’s probably where she got this half-baked idea.

I already published these pictures of Britney at Kevin’s Pure video shoot, but the only other recent pictures are blurry ones of Britney driving around talking on her cell phone, which seem too lame to post.

Page Six has this big story that P. Diddy slept through his own party in Saint Tropez, but you know, at least he’s oversleeping to attend parties and is keeping his business appointments, unlike La Lohan, who has it the wrong way ’round:

Hollywood parties are business appointments, though. I’m all confused.

Diddy throws enough parties that I’m sure people will forgive him for showing up a bit late. I just want to know if he’s still serving Cristal.

In attendance were Ivana and a possibly surgically enhanced 24 year-old Ivanka Trump, Paris and Stavros, Penelope Cruz, and the Duchess of York and her oldest daughter, Beatrice.

Diddy has just recorded an album in which he sings for the first time. He said it was nerve-wracking:

Here are some far-away pictures of Diddy on a trampoline at his party from Hello! Magazine, and a few of Paris at the party from JiveRecords.eu.

Posh Beckham got a sleek new haircut recently. She was said to be tired of the extensions, which were damaging her natural hair and causing some baldness. I bet her lack of eating was contributing too, but this is great new look for her. It also might spell the end of the extension trend:

Posh was also said to be tired of women imitating her, but this just means that everyone is going to get their extensions taken out and sport pixie cuts for now.

It’s too bad for us long-haired women, but I for one am not going to cut my hair yet. Long hair is still pretty, and natural looks will always be in style.

Barbra Streisand must have seen those terrible pictures of herself that came out recently, or maybe she just wants to spruce up for her latest concert comeback. Regardless she’s seen outside a plastic surgeon’s office clutching a juice box while covered in a black veil.

It will take more than surgery to fix Babs. Maybe she should call Madonna and get some tips on how to slim down while cashing in on tired old gimmicks to sell out concerts. Barbra desperately needs the help, her high-priced concert tickets aren’t selling well and her longterm fans are pissed at paying big bucks for her last tour, which she claimed was her final one.

Jessica Simpson’s hair is a mess, she needs a dye job, and she’s wearing orange lipstick that emphasizes her trout pout, but who’s looking at her face anyway? She’s wearing a completely see through dress. A short chubby woman with overplucked eyebrows and equally bad lipstick tries to look important by shielding Simpson, but she can’t hide those exposed boobs, even though she’s the right height.

Ken Paves is seen in the background, so Jessica has no excuse for that hair, unless Ken advised her to go for the JBF hair look. She may as well look like she’s getting laid even if she has to resort to transparent dresses to look sexy. Ken probably scratched her arm with a hairbrush to make it look like she’s having rough sex.

Jessica Simpson has admitted that Madonna “influenced” her latest crappy single, “Holiday,” I mean “Public Affair.” It’s a wonder Madonna hasn’t filed suit yet because the song is nearly indistinguishable from Madonna’s hit.

That’s like that “Opal Mehta” author saying she was “influenced” by the books she lifted passages from.

Lindsay Lohan probably thinks it’s cute or whatever to wear her Pink Taco boyfriend’s undershirt out in public for all the paparrazi to see. She could have fit one of those white diaphanous shirts she likes to wear into one of her giant purses for the day after, but it was already stuffed full with three bikinis.

Lohan is probably going to have to give a statement in the suit against her mother, Dina, who is being sued for switching Lohan’s record label to get a more high-profile deal. Now that Lohan’s music and acting career is taking a nosedive, that settlement is going to be worth a lot less.

Here is Lohan looking all busy and unable to balance her accessories while gleefully showing off her store-bought goodies. Her shirt isn’t as see-through as Jessica Simpson’s, but she’s working with what was in her boyfriend’s closet.
