Britney Spears Daily Bible Reading

Madonna is the only one getting her Jesus love on. Britney Spears reads the Bible daily.

This under order of Papa Spears according to rumor. The Daily Mirror reports that Brit is required to read the Bible for hour every day. Her dad is keeping an ever watchful eye on the re-rising pop starlet.

“Brit is also banned from tucking into junk food (not sure she is keeping to that one), leaving the hotel unless accompanied by security, or meeting K Fed without her dad or manager.”

Egads. He even manages her time spent online says the source; she feels like a prisoner. I don’t know how much I buy this story. The girl wears boobie tassels on a nightly basis. Of course, whatever laws he is enforcing seem to be working as she is slowly rising from the broken pieces of her past. It’s probably best that she steers clear of K-Fed and the rest of the crew that helped her fall into crazy.

Who am I to judge? The closest form of Sunday worship I participate in is Never-Ending-Pancakes at IHOP.

Ron Silver Passes Away

Actor and longtime political activist Ron Silver died Sunday morning, succumbing to a long battle with esophageal cancer after battling the disease for the past two years. He was 62.

Per NY Post:

“Ron Silver died peacefully in his sleep with his family around him this morning,” said Robin Bronk, executive director of the Creative Coalition, which Silver helped create. “He had been fighting esophageal cancer for two years and his family is making arrangements for a private service.”

The actor started the left-leaning Creative Coalition in 1989 but switched to the GOP following the Sept. 11 attacks, speaking at the 2004 Republican National Convention. His “West Wing” character Bruno Gianelli underwent a similar conversion on that TV show. His early credits included “The Mac Davis Show,” “Rhoda” and “The Stockard Channing Show.” Silver is best known for playing legal scholar Alan Dershowitz in 1990′s “Reversal of Fortune,” a movie about the successful appeal of Claus von Bulow’s conviction for putting his socialite wife into a permanent coma. He had also won a Tony Award as a take-no-prisoners Hollywood producer in David Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow.”

Ron was married to Lynne Miller from the December 1975 untill July 1997. They have two children, a son named Adam who was born in 1979 and a daughter named Alexandra who was born in 1983.

Very sad news. Our condolences go out to his family.

Brooke Hogan – Fashion Disaster

Ugh. Brooke Hogan tries far too hard or not enough. I can’t decide which. She looks like a Britney Spears “Gimmie More” reject. If you are going to rip someone’s style at least rip something good. Like the pink thong on the outside of leather pants outfit. Now that was classy.

I feel somewhat bad for this girl. Either she is clueless as to how terrible her music/style is or she is that oblivious to reality in general.

Mel Gibson Cheating on His Wife- Photos

Good luck talking your way out of this one Mel. Photos of Mel Gibson hugging, kissing and frolicking on a beach in Costa Rica with a bikini clad girl have surfaced.

Radar came across the damning evidence of Mel vacationing with a young beauty. Mel’s wife, Robyn, seemed to be M.I.A. Her husband was entertaining his rumored mistress, Oksana. She is Russian musician who he has been seen with before. According to the site she was constantly on set with Gibson while he was working on “Edge of Darkness.” Oksana spent ample time in his private trailer and 3 consecutive days lurking around the set.

Witnesses spotted the pair enjoying the waves near sunset at Mel’s vacation digs. This is the same place he and Britney Spears went to “relax.”

“It was near sunset. The two of them were playing in the surf, ducking into waves,” said an eyewitness. Then Mel sort of took hold of her and she came willingly into his arms. They put their arms around each other and kissed pretty passionately for about four or five seconds.”

I am sure it was all very innocent. Maybe she fell and he was just kissing her ouchie. Or he was offering to give her a mustache ride. You be the judge.

UPDATE – Mel Gibson’s real mistress, Oksana Pochepa, has confirmed she is the one in the photos here. She also confirmed she and Mel have been in a relationship for some time now. You can read more by clicking HERE.

America’s Next Top Model Stampede – Video

Casting for the next season of Tyra Banks schools some models nearly killed a couple of model hopefuls. While a huge herd of wannabes waited to get their turn to try out for “America’s Next Top Model,” a car overheated and backfired. This caused model mayhem.

As you can see in the video, screaming erupted after some idiot yelled to the crowd that there was bomb. Obviously there was no bomb. Fencing was knocked down as thousands of women scrambled to get out of the area. A total of 6 women were injured.

Via NY Daily News:

“The girls were running like it was 9/11 part two,” said Jennifer Brown, 27, of Kensington, Brooklyn. “I feared for my life.” Another stated: “The metal barricade fell down,” said Kiara McCarthy, 19, of Levittown, L.I. “All of a sudden we heard this roar from behind us and we looked behind us and there’s a wave of people falling on top of us.”

Then after the scare, the remaining models were forced to stay in line no matter what.

“I had to pee in a cup and change my clothes in the street,” said Mona Knight, 18, of the Bronx, who arrived at 11:30 p.m. Friday night. “There was no organization whatsoever.”

“Everyone was so compressed, I don’t think they could breathe,” said Alex Saavedra, 23, who escorted his girlfriend to the audition. “Then they started passing out.”

Soon the auditions were shut down after the riot caused the stampede. The 6 injured women are currently in the hospital and in stable condition.

This is a great idea. A bunch of short models who are already living on 3 cheese cubes, Diet Coke and cigarettes were herded into a confined area. Yup. I can tell Tyra was the brains behind this.
