Tyra Banks has been fielding some real questions about her weight.  According to some cruel reports she gained some 40 pounds.  She found out the rumors upon having heard some rumors leaving Australia.  Her relatives heard the same rumors and left messages of support.  Tyra googled herself and found out the sources of reports.  She has been devastated by them, it prompted her to dedicate her Feb 1 show to combat the stories.  She has put on weight, though not nearly as much as those recent tabloid stories suggested. (Banks believes the pix were snapped at an unflattering angle.) "She has a very womanly, gorgeous body that goes up and down," says her good friend Heidi Klum. In fact, Banks says that since she retired from modeling in 2005, the number on the scale has fluctuated from 148 lbs. to 162 lbs.

Paris Hilton has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in her drunk-driving case, Hilton entered a plea of no contest Monday to a lesser charge of reckless driving and was placed on 36 months probation. She must also pay a fine of $390 and attend an alcohol education program. "We believe this was an appropriate resolution given the facts in this matter and both sides' desire to avoid a trial on the original charges," says Hilton's attorney, Howard Weitzman, who is also representing Nicole Richie in her pending DUI case. Two weeks ago, the heiress pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor counts of DUI and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher.

Britney has been stepping out with Isaac Cohen. The pair spent a romantic weekend together in Las Vegas, in a $40,000 per night suite.  Even though she has been trying to say that they are longer together.  Many critics have remarked about similarity to Kevin's look this guy is.  Maybe she misses her boo..

A North Carolina artist was intrigued by the public obsession with celebrity has found herself feeding that obsession with a painting of the only actress Angelina Jolie as the Virgin Mary hovering over a Wal-Mart check-out line. Kate Kretz has painted for about 20 years, but none of her previous work has garnered the attention given "Blessed Art Thou," showing this weekend at Art Miami, an annual exposition of modern and contemporary art.  The painting has gotten much attention from celebrity web sites and too many blogs. Since the buzz started, the number of daily unique visitors to Kretz's own blog has jumped from an average of 30 to 15,000 on Wednesday.  Well, no matter what, it is a nice painting.  Sorry but I have to take her down a peg only because she had called her biological daughter “a blob” with less personality than her two adopted kids, and had criticized Madonna’s adoption of a baby boy from Malawi.  We all know she was saying the baby has unlimited potential, a clean slate and still finding herself.

A meeting of minds met in NYC on the eve of Martin Luther Kings Birthday.  Jews in yarmulkes and Muslims in Kufis sat side by side at the Islamic Cultural Center of NY, searching for Common ground during a ground breaking celebration.

"I'm actually working on my third album, so you will be seeing and hearing a lot from me in the upcoming months."

Britney Spears was asleep early.
According to some reports, Brit was passed out drunk and had to be carried out.  Others said she was exhausted and left the club. The 25-year-old reveler's nap time unfortunately coincided with her hosting gig at Caesars Palace's Pure nightclub, where she was leading the annual countdown from the VIP lounge for which she pocketed, per the Las Vegas Review, a Journal, a hefty $300,000. The New York Post reported that around 12:45 a.m., Spears, who purportedly had been drinking champagne and dancing to her own song "I'm a Slave 4 U," "went into a dead faint and just fell right to the floor." The newspaper went on to claim that she was quickly whisked away from prying eyes by her entourage and removed from the club. Her people dispute the claim.  It may end up costing the diva $400,000, she was under contract when she collapsed for exhaustion.  The club said she was penalized for leaving early.

  Spears was in Sin City with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, who were being tended to by a nanny during the party. Needless to say, she was not with estranged hubby Kevin Federline.  That honor went to the people of Miami's Mansion nightclub, where Federline rang in the New Year alongside Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, Wilmer Valderrama and Hilary Duff.

Lindsay Lohan is trying to turn things around.  I guess now seeing the errors of her behavior has checked into a rehab clinic.  She wanted to put a end to the booze swilling, pill popping tirades of the past.  Lindsay who is 20, was wearing a baseball cap (Lola), Green Flannel shirt, and black tights. We wish her luck. Following the announcement that Lindsay Lohan is entering rehab, the actress' manager-mom, Dina, says her daughter is doing what she needs to do. As of Jan 28th she is back to work.  Lohan's latest movie, the thriller I Know Who Killed Me, began shooting again on Thursday, and her scenes are scheduled to start filming Friday.

The George Michael is in court again, this time to answer for the Drunk driving charge from October.  He had a lot of trouble in 2006 with drunk driving.  He has had a bunch of trouble, just look at our October Issue.. He plead not guilty of the charges. George Michael on Wednesday denied being unfit to drive after being found slumped over the wheel of his car in London last year. Michael, born George Panayiotou, was not at Brent Magistrate's Court to enter his plea, with his lawyer acting on his behalf.

He is charged with being unfit to drive.

The son of music legend Lou Rawls is suing the son of Motown legend Marvin Gaye, claiming he was attacked by "four large dogs" during a visit to Gaye's Hollywood home in 2005.  The complaint by Lou Rawls Jr. against Marvin Gaye III was filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court. Rawls claims the dogs "bit, clawed and physically and mentally injured" him, causing him to suffer "loss of blood, tearing of flesh, multiple dog bite wounds, fear of disease" and other injuries, according to court documents. He is seeking unspecified damages.

According to The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist's (Prince) camp, the media shy music maestro is reportedly currently in talks with several Las Vegas publishers, piquing interests with his concept '3121 Magazine.' "The magazine will feature interviews with musicians and exclusive photos taken by Prince," a statement announced. "Currently on location shooting publicity shots for a new singer he is working with, Prince will be back in Vegas to ring in the new year at 3121."  Oh yeah, that's also the name of his new weekly nightclub gig at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and his latest platinum selling opus.  The statement continued: "When Prince is not bringing down da' house at 3121 on Friday and Saturday nights, he is busy pursuing his current hobby, photography and it appears that his work is quite extraordinary, capturing private candid shots with the same air of his unique jam sessions. '3121' Magazine would provide the perfect outlet to showcase his photos."

A Sister Station in California is in hot water for a contest it held.  The station held a water drinking contest and a contestant died afterwards.  E.107.9 The End, today's hit music station in California (FM), was going crazy trying to figure out what happened. The woman had drank nearly two gallons of water without going to the bathroom.  She died hours later of water intoxication. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has launched a homicide investigation into the death of Jennifer Lea Strange, a mother of three who died after drinking too much water during a radio-station contest on Jan. 12.
The Strange family is also expected to file a wrongful death suit against KDND-FM, the station responsible for the contest, the winner of which won a video game console. On Tuesday, KDND's parent company, Entercom/Sacramento, fired 10 employees connected to the contest, including three morning disc jockeys. The company also took the morning show off the air. To add insult to stupidity: As participants in KDND-FM's water-drinking contest chugged bottle after bottle, a listener called in to warn the disc jockeys that the stunt could be fatal. At one point, the DJs even alluded to a college student who died during a similar stunt in 2005.

"The Wave is one of my favorite radio stations, so to be joining the station is incredibly exciting," he told industry trade magazine 'Radio & Records.' "Pat and I have a lot of exciting things planned, and I can't wait to get started."  The new show will replace the five year time slot which was commandeered by smooth jazz luminary Dave Koz, who plans to embark on world tour in support of his forthcoming 'At The Movies' CD.

Angelina Jolie is smoking mad about Madonna's African Adoption.  She feels that Madonna used the countries weak laws to circumvent normal adoption policy.  Human rights groups agree with her however.  She stopped short of calling the adoption criminal.  And since we are on Angelina and Brad, Jennifer Anniston has asked if she could see the newest child of Brad.  She feels that she is now able to be happy for him.  She/Jennifer is thinking of either adopting or having her own child soon.  She is not thinking of dating right this second but hopefully have a son soon or in near future.

David Styles commonly known as Styles P was driving his 2003 Mercedes on the Saw Mill Parkway in Westchester County when he was allegedly cut off by a truck driven by 50 year old John Henson.  According to an interview by Hot 97's Miss Info, Styles P got out of the car to ask what happened and the older man  lost control of the car after flipping him the bird.  Hitting both his car and P., styles suffered a broken leg.  Styles who released his sophomore album Time is Money last week was treated for his injuries at Westchester Medical Center. Henson was charged with second degree assault and is expected to appear in court in Jan 2nd.  Styles said the media has blown a minor accident out of proportion.  He said all that happened was that the man said he was scared by P, and that he backed into him, after flipping him the bird.  He said that he had not threatened the man, and had weapons/things in the car but not on his person. He said that he was just trying to straighten up the story, since the story got out that he tried to cut off the man back.

and days of auld lang syne?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

Ruben Garay, the webmaster of World of Britney (worldofbritney.com) and arguably her biggest devotee, has announced plans to shut down the six-year-old site in the wake of the "Toxic" singer's recent run of questionable behavior. "As Britney keeps losing her identity and credibility within fans and industry people, so is [World of Britney]," Garay writes. "I believe Britney is unfortunately done (for me at least). No matter what anyone thinks or how they may disagree, it's very hard to maintain the respect needed to keep things going." The Web shrine, which bears the motto "Dream, Create, Deliver, Inspire" and has meticulously chronicled all things Spears for the better part of the millennium, will continue to run until Jan. 31. We have to agree, this is getting bad, even the editors here are afraid to pick up copy when it has Britney's name on it.

A nationwide talent search for dancers fleet-footed enough to back up Beyonce Knowles came to the pop diva's hometown as hundreds turned out to audition for 40 open slots.

After two more stops, in New York and Chicago, Gaston and Beyonce will review the tapes.  There will be 30 finalists from each city.

Rather, he says in the video, "What it was, was a lot of small things that were happening in my life, and a lot of small moments that were starting to accumulate that were telling me very loud and clear that I was a long way from my program of recovery, and they were making my life unmanageable."
