Final Pixx: Adnan do you have any comments regarding these posted allegations?

Adnan: All I can say is that I have not been in contact with Britney since early Friday morning.

from contact...

EDDIE MURPHY's marriage to TRACEY EDMONDS fell flat after just two weeks because the bride refused to sign a pre-nuptial agreement, according to reports. The couple went their separate ways just 15 days after marrying in Bora Bora, and before they could make the union legal in the U.S.

Sources claim the relationship failed because Edmonds refused to sign away the right to Murphy's money. An insider tells the New York Post, "When it came down to the legal marriage, Tracey wouldn't sign a pre-nup."

Amy Is Our Future?

from contact...
MARY J. BLIGE is praying AMY WINEHOUSE survives her battle with drugs, because the future of music relies on her. Mary J. senses music is heading for a renaissance, and needs talents like Winehouse to help the industry recover from years of "drought".

She tells Fleetwood MAC star Stevie Nicks in the latest issue of Interview magazine, "Someone like Amy Winehouse is so important to the music business right now. It's very painful (to see her battle drugs). I hope she makes it. "I think it (the music industry) kind of got lost and we ended up in a drought for a while, but I see it making a turn, so instead of music being just synthetic, we'll see it going back to actual instruments. That's what I'm hoping for anyway, because that's the kind of music I'm making."

Brit Brit Files A Restraining Order?

Rumors are flying al over Hollywood that Britney Spears has filed a R.O. Against her paparazzi boyfriend of late.

X17online is claiming that Britney's sometime manager and pal Sam Lutfi showed the agency's photographers a copy of Britney's restraining order against Adnan last night. The LAPD has told PageSix.com that no restraining order has been officially filed, but that doesn't mean Brit hasn't started the paperwork

Scarlett Supports The Troops

Scarlett Johansson is going to war! The 23-year-old "World's Sexiest Woman" is heading to the Persian Gulf to spend five days entertaining U-S troops for the U-S-O. Maybe "entertaining" isn't the right word -- she'll be visiting military bases, signing autographs and just hanging out with homesick soldiers. Scarlett says, "I've wanted to go over and visit for some time, and now my moment has arrived.

JAY-Z and BEYONCE KNOWLES have not married, despite the increasing number of internet reports suggesting otherwise, a close pal has revealed. Jay-Z - was said to have married Beyonce in a secret ceremony at designer Giorgio Armani's mansion in Paris, France, last month. 

Reports claimed the superstar couple opted to shun the traditional exchange of wedding bands in favour of discreet tattoos of the Roman numeral 'IV' on their ring fingers - with the claims backed up by photo evidence of the small inkings. Sources have also alleged Knowles is pregnant - but a member of Jay-Z's entourage has dismissed both the claims, telling AllHipHop.com, "The reports are not true."

Possible Grammy Performers

The only name that has been announced so far as far as performing at the Grammys has been Foo Fighters. However I am hearing they (naras) are thinking about or have already sent invitations out to John Legend, Daughtry and Michael Buble. When I hear more names I will let you know.

The Grammys Are Going To Happen

The 50th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled to happen next month on February 10th in Los Angeles. There has been some conversation and whispers recently about whether the writers strike would put a halt to them.

They have asked for an interim agreement to be worked out so they they could write for the show but that doesn't look likely, however that just means less silly jokes on stage and more performances. Not necessarily a bad thing in my book.

If the writers do stage a picket, it gets a little sticky when comes to the artists who are also actors like Beyonce, Timberlake and Bon Jovi.

One industry exec bets that, in the end, the stars' music loyalties will win out: "While artists respect the writers, they will still attend the awards. The Grammys are a highly coveted celebration and a symbol of credibility to their peers." Grammy organizers, not to mention legions of music fans, are surely hoping that's right.

Clay Aiken Weighs In On American Idol

Clay Aiken sat down with Entertainment Tonight and talked about a lot of things including American Idol...

"I haven't watched 'American Idol' in three years now," he admits. "It stresses me out so much. I compare it to high school. I needed college to understand and know what I know now. Most people wouldn't be where they are if it weren't for their education. I see 'Idol' in the same way and I wouldn't be where I am without it, but I don't still go to my high school football games."

Paparazzi Busted For Crazy Driving

from tmz...
Paparazzi chasing Brit Brit were busted late last night in Los Angeles. Around 11:20 PM last night, according to law enforcement sources, police pulled over a total of eight vehicles driven by photogs, after they were observed driving evasively at a high rate of speed and making dangerous lane changes in and around Mission Hills. Four of the drivers were arrested.

We're also told that Britney herself told cops that one of the cars may have tried to "run her off the road," but she couldn't ID which car it was, so no action was taken

Kanye Struggling

from contact...

KANYE WEST is wracked with guilt over the death of his mother, believing the cosmetic surgery he paid for killed her. A recent inquest confirmed the tummy tuck and liposuction Donda West underwent the day before she died in November didn't contribute to her passing. 

She died from a "pre-existing coronary artery disease". But Kanye still blames himself for encouraging his mother to go under the knife. A source tells the National Enquirer, "It was his money that paid for the operation and his fame that opened up this very different world to Donda. "Donda was so proud of Kanye and all he had accomplished, and gave up her job as the head of Chicago State University's English department to look after his career. "It would never have occurred to her to have plastic surgery before Kanye hit it big. He can't help thinking it shouldn't have happened.

Eddie Murphy Splits With New Wife After 2 Weeks

from tmz...

Roughly two weeks after Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds ceremoniously tied the knot on a tropical island, the two have split!

"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further. 

While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends."

John Defends Jess

from people...

John Mayer on his blog yesterday defended his ex Jessica Simpson against the state of Texas. She is currently dating Dallas Cowboy QB Tony Romo and he hasnt played that well since they started dating.

"I don't really follow sports, but I have played some of my biggest and best concerts in your state, and having witnessed how dynamic the spirit there is, I'm betting emotions are running high right about now," Mayer – who dated Simpson on-and-off for about a year, before splitting last June – wrote in his latest entry. 

"All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know," the 30-year-old continued. "It's one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don't try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn't be able to, but it's less work for all involved.)" 

Writer's Strike Entering Week Ten

At a press conference in Brazil, Will Smith lamented that scaling back the Golden Globes telecast caused causalities that don't make much news. "We think it's just a T-V show, but there are hundreds of people hired to work on that show who could feed their families for two months with the money they would have made in the event."

More Idol Tonight

Tonight American Idol continues the carnage that began last night with the first round of auditions in Philadelphia. The second part of the seventh-season opener takes us to Dallas to see the good and the really bad auditions that Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson endured.

Get used to the disasters -- we've got a way to go until the Top 24 contestants will be named, on February 13th, and we'll be down to the Top 12 in mid-March. I really enjoyed last night's show except for the dude that came into the room in a cape, I didn't sleep well. :-)

Grammy Awards vs The Writers

The Recording Academy is hoping to reach an interim agreement with the striking Writers Guild of America ahead of the February 10th Grammy Awards. In a statement last night, Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said that the producers of the show "requested an interim agreement from the W-G-A for the telecast" and that his organization "remains hopeful that there will be a quick and positive response."

The Writers Guild has indicated that they weren't inclined to give an interim agreement to the Recording Academy.

I So Hope Someone Can Help Her

from In Touch magazine...

The warning signs were there — but few knew the extent of Britney Spears' anguish, until now. Days before Britney was rushed to the hospital on January 4, she left a suicide note, In Touch has exclusively learned. According to the insider, the troubled pop star left it on her bathroom counter, where it was allegedly found by Sam Lutfi. "The letter was very sad," says a friend. "It was filled with reasons why she shouldn't live, included lines from poems about death. She said in it she was sorry for never making her life what everyone else wanted. She mentioned how lonely and unfair life could be, how peaceful death seems and how your mind would finally be at ease." The friend adds, "She went on and on about wanting to just rest in peace."

Gabby Gives Yoko Romo Advice

from people magazine...

Eva Longoria has advice for Jessica Simpson -- ignore the flack you're getting from Dallas Cowboy fans over her relationship with Tony Romo! The same thing happened to Eva when she started dating Tony Parker. 

Eva told People magazine: "When I first started dating Tony, I got the same flack, and this was so many years ago that people don't remember. If he had a bad game, it was my fault; if he got injured, it was my fault; if he had a good game, it wasn't because of me. Believe me, the men are not thinking of us when they are on the field, particularly Tony Romo, who has 10 linemen coming at him. Do you think that he is really thinking about Jessica the moment that he is about to get sacked?"

American Idol 8pm Tonight On Fox 19!

The most-watched show on American T-V returns tonight. FOX's American Idol kicks off its seventh season with auditions from Philadelphia on a two-hour opener, followed by a second two-hour audition show on Wednesday. Over the course of the auditions, you'll see singers compete in San Diego, Dallas, Omaha, Nebraska, Charleston, Miami and Atlanta.

Judge Paula Abdul says the most-sung, and most-feared, tunes the judges dealt with on the audition trail. "It's not that we don't like the songs -- it's just that we don't want to hear them anymore. It's a toss up between Etta James's 'At Last' and [R. Kelly's] 'I Believe I Can Fly.' Or this season we heard so many of, believe it or not, Gnarles Barkley's 'Crazy.'However, they were some of the best auditions, because, believe it or not, the liberty that some of the creative contestants took with that song will surprise you."

There will be some changes this season. For the first time, contestants will be able to use instruments when they hit the Hollywood round. From there, the field will be narrowed to the Top 24, which will be evenly split between the boys and the girls. There will also be fewer mentors this year.

T-V Land has ordered a second season of Myths and Legends, which will look at, among other things, whether Jennifer Lopez has insured her butt for a billion dollars.

Kid Is A Giver

from contact...

KID ROCK has proved he's a generous rocker he recently rewarded a New York restaurant worker with $1,000 in cash for returning a pal's $200,000 watch.

Kid was dining at Manhattan's Southern Hospitality with some friends when one of the restaurant's employees spotted the watch on the floor - and promptly alerted the group to his find.

A source tells the New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "The watch wasn't even his (Kid Rock's); it belonged to one of Kid's friends." And that wasn't the only money the 36-year-old splashed during his visit - he also offered cash prizes to his companions if they completed various challenges. The source adds, "He was daring his friends to drink bottles of Tabasco and barbecue sauce. Two of his friends won $500 each (for completing the task)."

Wesley Snipes Goes To Court Today

After more than a year of legal wrangling, actor Wesley Snipes will be center stage in an Ocala, Florida courtroom today when his tax fraud trial gets under way.

The I-R-S claims the Blade star filed for more than 11-million dollars in false tax refunds and failed to file tax returns for six years.

His attorney said all he did was ask the I-R-S about innovative ways to save on his taxes, something "every other American is entitled to." Jury selection begins today -- the trial should take about a month. If convicted, Snipes faces up to 16 years in prison.

Britney Goes To Court Today Too!

Britney Spears' lawyers are giving her some pretty straight-forward advice -- turn up in court today if you want your visitation rights back!

According to T-M-Z, among the things her lawyers expect her to explain are the shenanigans that brought cops to her house a week ago, leading her to be taken away on a stretcher to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. If Brit goes A-WOL, her lawyers figure that the court commissioner will suspend her child visitation rights until an April trial on the matter.

T-M-Z is also reporting that the L-A Sheriff's Department isn't going to be giving Brit a hand if she decides to show. A source tells the website that Brit's been "totally uncooperative" -- not giving them information about when she's going to show up so they can prepare for the media crush.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star EVA LONGORIA is under pressure to become a mum because her husband wants his kids to watch dad play professional basketball. San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker fears he'll be too old to play professionally if he and his new wife wait too long to become parents. 

And his actress wife says, "Tony wants his children to be able to see him play... and I'd like lots of little TP juniors." But Longoria insists rumours she's already with child are premature - she's just fat. The Latina admits she's gained weight during a hiatus from Desperate Housewives, brought about by the ongoing Hollywood writers strike. She explains, "We've been on strike, so I've been home in Texas. I've gained 10 pounds just cooking and eating."

OJ Back In The Big House

O.J. SIMPSON has denied allegations he violated the terms of his bail agreement by attempting to contact a fellow defendant. Simpson was released on $125,000 bail in September  on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery after he led a raid on a sports memorabilia collector's Las Vegas hotel room. 

But his bail was revoked on Friday after the Clark County District Attorney discovered evidence suggesting he had tried to get in touch with fellow defendant Clarence Stewart via his bail bondsman, Miguel Periera.

Simpson is currently residing in a Clark County (vegas) Jail awaiting his appearance before the judge Wednesday morning.
