Britney Spears' Rep Denies New Engagement Reports

A spokesperson for Britney Spears has shot down rumors the pop star is to wed again after she was photographed wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring.

The "Toxic" hitmaker sparked speculation she was set to marry her agent and boyfriend of two years, Jason Trawick, on Friday when she was spotted wearing a dazzling jewel on her left hand.

But Spears' representative insists the singer is not heading down the aisle anytime soon, telling EOnline.com the reports are "completely not true," before adding: "It's not an engagement ring."

Britney Spears recently refused to rule out the idea of settling down with Trawick, insisting she would "never say never" to a third wedding. The mom-of-two previously wed dancer Kevin Federline and had a 2004 quickie Las Vegas marriage to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander annulled after 55 hours.

Lindsay Lohan 'Ready to Accept' Jail Time

Lindsay Lohan is "angry" about her looming 120-day jail sentence, but is willing to accept her punishment and serve out her time, according to her producer pal Nathan Folks.

The "Mean Girls" star was charged with probation violation by a judge in Los Angeles on Friday and ordered back to jail for a fourth time.

The sentence - which also includes 400 hours of community service - came as she pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge relating to the alleged theft of a necklace from a California jewelry store back in January. The judge decided the accusation constituted a violation of her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI charge and Lohan was booked into a California jail before being freed on bail to appeal the sentence.

Movie producer Folks has now spoken out about his close friend's situation, revealing the 24 year old feels disappointed as she was looking forward to getting her acting career back on track with a number of new film roles.

He tells , "She is fine. Obviously, she is upset about (being sentenced to four months in jail)... She is angry because she has been working so hard on turning her life around. She didn't do what they said she did. She didn't steal that necklace."

Folks also claims Lohan - who was released from three months of court-ordered rehab in January - is prepared to go to jail and attend alcohol and drugs therapy to cement her recovery.

He adds, "Lindsay Lohan is ready to do her time. She wants to go to A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous) and N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous) and to serve her 400 hours (of community service). She has already been doing lots of charity work."

Miley Cyrus Inspires Campaign Against Gypsy Apartheid

Miley Cyrus may thought that she has less support on her Gypsy Heart tour in the U.S., but in some states, her upcoming shows are briefly inspiring. Ever since the former Disney darling said that "Gypsy Heart is not just a tour for me, but a mission to spread love", the Hindus and Jews community in Nevada began to ask her to raise awareness towards the Gypsy apartheid issue on her tour.

The Hindus and Jews wanted Miley to use her forthcoming tour to spread awareness among people about the apartheid issue suffered by around 15 million European Gypsies. The community hoped that the former "Hannah Montana" star could really "show her love" towards the Gypsy brothers and sisters who were facing societal exclusion and suffering from maltreatment and abandonment in Europe.

The particular community insisted that Miley could be a very effective campaign tool to pursue people's concern on the Gypsy apartheid issue. In the past, some other Hollywood stars had successfully led the world societies to fight against South Africa's apartheid issue. Therefore, the Hindus and Jews believed that Miley could serve for the similar campaign and they would support her for that.

Meanwhile, Miley's Gypsy Heart tour is a part of her "Can't Be Tamed" album promotion. It will start on April 29 to July 2. She will do the tour in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Philippines and Australia.

Lady Gaga Weeps as She Denies Copying Madonna

Lady Gaga burst into tears when she spoke for the first time to angrily deny the accusations she cheated icon of the Madonna song "Express Yourself" for her song "Born this way."

Critics and fans similar were swift to evaluate the single to Madonna's 1989 classic when it was released in February.

Gaga admits the allegations she copied her hero were heartbreaking, and she wept as she was questioned by a British interviewer about the persistent rumors of plagiarism.

In a feature for Britain's NME magazine, she says, "I am not stupid enough to put out a record and be that moronic. ... I'm a songwriter. I've written loads of music. Why would I try to put out a (copied) song and think I'm getting one over on everybody? That's retarded. What a completely ridiculous thing to even question me about. I will look you in your eyes and tell you that I am not dumb enough or moronic enough to think that you are dumb enough or moronic enough not to see that I would have stolen a melody.

"If you put the songs next to each other, side by side, the only similarities are the chord progression. It's the same one that's been in disco music for the last 50 years. Just because I'm the first f**king artist in 25 years to think of putting it on Top 40 radio, it doesn't mean I'm a plagiarist, it means that I'm f**king smart. Sorry ...

"Nobody in this room at any point looked around and said, oh my God, it's 'Express Yourself.' Not once...

"I was just f**king shell-shocked by it. It's so funny to hear you say, 'It must have been a homage,' I'm like, no. When I homage, I f**king homage with a big sign saying I've done it. Why would I not do that now?"

The "Poker Face" hit maker then wept as Lady Gaga added, "I feel like honestly that God sent me those lyrics and that melody. When you feel a message to give to the world and people are shooting arrows at it ... there's no way for something that pure to be wrong."

Gaga's Foul-Mouthed Rants Over 'Manufactured' Claims

Lady Gaga launched into a furious rant during a recent magazine interview over suggestions she is a "manufactured" pop act.

The pop superstar sat down for a chat with Britain's NME magazine and she reacted furiously when asked about her public persona and whether her wigs and costumes are all part of an elaborate act designed by her record label.

She raged, "Let me tell you something. If you f**king rip my hairbow and my wig off my f**king head, my shoes, my bra, every single thing on my body, and you throw me on a piano with a microphone, I will f**king make you cry.

"I feel I have been probed endlessly about who the f**k I am. I have been quite open about it. And still nobody seems to have a clue."

Gaga also launched into a furious tirade about songwriters and producers who send her their work, not realizing that she writes her own songs. She adds, "I'm not going to start churning out what you expect. If you want me to be a manufactured act, you can f**k off."

Lindsay Lohan Challenges Blak Lively for Film Roles

Actress Lindsay Lohan is getting serious about making a movie comeback, insisting she's keen to challenge Blake Lively for roles in two new movies.

Lohan, who is currently in talks to portray Victoria Gotti in the upcoming mob film "Gotti: Three Generations," reveals she's particularly interested in going head to head with Lively to play a good witch in "Oz: The Great & Powerful," opposite pal James Franco, and in Oliver Stone's latest film "Savages."

She tells the New York Post, "I think the only role I could play is Glinda (The Good Witch)... I'll only do the movie if I can work with (James Franco). We're, like, best friends."

Franco has been cast as the leading man in the film, while Mila Kunis is also reportedly onboard the project.

The "Mean Girls" actress also expressed interest in Oliver Stone's stoner drama "Savages," stating, "That's the role I really want."

Celebrity Lohan is keen to make her mark as an actress again following a string of film flops and two years of legal woes and personal crises, which culminated in prison and rehab stints in 2010.

Kim Kardashian Making Marriage Plans

Socialite and TV star Kim Kardashian is making plans to wed basketball player boyfriend Kris Humphries, and already has her dress picked out for the big day.

The couple has only been dating for five months, but Life & Style magazine reports it's getting serious and Kardashian has started talking about getting married -- and what her ceremony will be like.

The publication claims Kardashian is hoping for a big diamond engagement ring, designed by pal Lorraine Schwartz.

A source says, "Her idol is Elizabeth Taylor, who was a good friend of Lorraine's, so she wants to take inspiration from one of Elizabeth's prized possessions: her famous cushion-cut Krupp diamond. Kim's been talking to Lorraine about it a lot lately."

And Kardashian herself tells Life & Style that she has fantasized about her wedding ever since she was a little girl: "I've envisioned the whole thing. I can't wait to get married. I've found my wedding dress - I mean, I already know what my gown is going to look like. I've thought about it all for so long."

The source reveals Kim Kardashian plans to shop for a Chanel couture gown in Paris: "She wants a white, strapless floor-length gown that's traditional but sexy and makes her feel like a princess."

Lady Gaga Condemns Cosmetic Surgery

Lady Gaga has taken aim at celebrities who alter their appearance with cosmetic surgery, insisting she can't stand seeing stars flaunting their "brand-new faces" on the cover of magazines.

The "Poker Face" hit Maker is adamant she has never gone under the knife and she disapproves of artists who alter their looks because they are "promoting insecurity" among impressionable fans.

She tells Harper's Bazaar magazine, "I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have. I think that promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.

"And how many models and actresses do you see on magazine covers who have brand-new faces and have had plastic surgery, while I myself have never had any plastic surgery? I am an artist, and I have the ability and the free will to choose the way the world will envision me."

No Vulgarity in Nudity: Poonam Pandey

There is no vulgarity in nudity, said Poonam Pandey, the model whose offer to go nude before Team India if they won the Cricket World Cup shot the mercury up for the India-Sri Lanka final in Mumbai.

"We were all born nude. People take nudity as vulgarity. I see it in a different way. If I keep it as an offer for bringing the World Cup to India, which incidentally worked (laughs), I see no harm in it," Pandey told us in an interview.

The model's offer hit the headlines prior to the April 2 World Cup final in Mumbai. A court case was also filed against her over the issue.

"After such a long time Team India was again very close to winning the World Cup and I truly wanted to them to be successful. It (going nude in front of the team) was a sort of offering from my side to our cricketers," Pandey told us in an interview.

Does she believe that Team India won the World Cup just so it did not miss her offering?

"No, I won't say that. But I had prayed to God that if India brings the Cup I would strip in front of the team. I am yet to fulfil my commitment though," Pandey said.

But her parents were certainly upset.

"Frankly, when I gave the statement my parents felt very bad. But when I explained to them why I made the offer, they were relieved a bit," she said.

Poonam Pandey, an aspiring actress, is one of the contestants in the fourth season of the action adventure reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' on COLORS channel.

If she could face the whole country over the nudity controversy, competing 12 pairs of contestants in the 'Khatron ke..' show is nothing, the model said.

"I am not afraid of anyone. I wasn't afraid when whole India was after me. There is no chance I fear a bit about the 12 pairs of contestants. On the contrary, I would love to make people fear me," said Pandey.

Asked if she has any particular plan if she wins the reality show, Poonam Pandey said: "I want to keep it a surprise."

Celebrity Vanessa Hudgens Embarrassed Talking to Lawyers About Nude Snaps

Celebrity Gossips : Vanessa Hudgens was deeply "embarrassed" when she had to face a group of attorneys to talk about her naked picture scandal.

The "High School Musical" actress has been the victim of a number of nude picture leaks over the last few years and the latest set of shameful snaps, which appeared to show the star completely naked, emerged on the Internet last month.

Hudgens' team has been working with police in a bid to track down the culprit who leaked the images, and she admits she was horrified at having to explain the photos to her legal team.

In an interview with Britain's Capital Radio, Hudgens was asked if she was scared about her parents seeing the pictures, and Vanessa Hudgens replied, "The more embarrassing thing is talking to the lawyers and attorneys about it but, whatever, you deal (with it)."

Songwriter for Britney Spears Hits Out at Critics

A songwriter on Britney Spears' new album "Femme Fatale" has jumped to defend the pop superstar against criticism suggesting she didn't write any of the lyrics.

The singer has been a part of the songwriting process for at least one track on each of her last five discs, contributing the most to her 2003 project "In the Zone," including her Madonna duet, "Me Against the Music."

Spears is not credited as a writer on any of the tunes from her seventh studio album, prompting some detractors to take aim at the singer for relying on the talents of others to produce hits for her.

But collaborator Heather Bright, who co-wrote Femme Fatale's "Trouble for Me," insists few pop stars actually come up with their own lyrics and Spears should be applauded for not forcing her songwriters into giving her credit just so she can take a cut of the royalties.

In a post on her blog, Bright writes, "I would just like to address one thing! The media is talking trash about how Britney didn't write any of the songs on her album ... HELLO! Wake up everybody! NONE OF THESE ARTISTS WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS!!!!!! (there are a few exceptions ... lady gaga, will.i.am/BEP, chris brown is starting to write a lot of his own stuff...)

"Anyway... Britney could have come to me, like all these other A-list artists, and said ... 'Hey, you wanna be on my album? I'm gonna need writing credit for that song AND part of your publishing (royalties) even though I didn't write anything! And then I'm gonna go on tour and gross $150 million in ticket sales and not give you any of that, even though I'm performing your song!' I could rattle off a laundry list of artists who I've had that conversation with!"

And Bright has nothing but praise for Spears and her creative team.

She adds, "Britney's one of the few artists I've worked with who didn't try to take something that wasn't hers. In my experience, from a business standpoint, her entire team is nothing less than a bona fide class act!"

Pregnant Mariah Carey Poses Nude With Nick Cannon

Parents-to-be Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon will have a lasting memory of the singer's pregnancy - they've posed nude for a series of arty photos.

The couple is due to welcome twins within weeks and the "Hero" hitmaker decided to strip off to commemorate her impending motherhood, posing naked in the same vein as Demi Moore's iconic Vanity Fair shot in 1991.

Cannon reveals he wanted to get in on the act and joined his wife for the intimate images, which now decorate their Los Angeles home, but the actor admits he's already dreading the day his kids are old enough to realize the naked shoot isn't normal.

Speaking on his radio show on Tuesday, he says, "My children are going to have to see these pictures... It's a little weird.

"When they get older and their friends come over... they will see the pictures and say, 'Your daddy's butt naked!'"

Mariah Carey already turned her pregnancy into an art form last month when she adorned her bulging belly with a painting of a big butterfly and posted the shot online.

Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart's Split Rumors

They’re everybody’s favorite showbiz couple, but recently there have been rumors that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have split up.

The “New Moon” costars are said to have put their relationship on hold for the time being, as they’re both uber-busy with their careers.

An insider told press, “Things have been a bit rocky for a while. They both have hectic work schedules. Rob in particular at the moment, and their phone calls were getting fewer and further between. They started to only see each other on set and began to drift apart until a general apathy developed.”

“The excuses why they couldn't meet up basically got weaker and weaker, and Rob figured they should officially cool things off and have some time to figure out what they want.

There have been a few tears but the celebrity pair remains friendly. Kristen is hopeful of reconciliation once Rob has finished promotion for his latest movie. But as things stand, they're on a break and just mates.”
