The Britney Spears bandwagon rolls on.

You might think the embattled 25-year-old pop star and mother of two would be laying low before the highly anticipated OK! magazine cover story that's about to hit stands.

The doozy of a profile apparently includes less than flattering pics of Spears from a shoot in which several incidents of bizarre behavior reportedly occurred, like using a Chanel couture dress to pick up dog poop.

But there she was yesterday afternoon, shopping at the M.A.C Cosmetics store on not so private Robertson Boulevard. My spies report that she picked up some mascara, eyeshadow and fake lashes before heading out the back door.

And there she was again, this time spotted at the Abbey, a gay bar and restaurant in West Hollywood.

And, wait, there she was again, going high profile for a din-din at WeHo's Il Sole (lobster risotto, if you must know).

Yep, that Brit's making more whistle stops than a presidential candidate—even with a possible train wreck of a story due any day now.

Natalie Portman did not strip completely naked for new movie 'Goya's Ghosts'.

The Hollywood beauty was believed to have stripped off for the graphic torture scenes in the movie - in which she plays the muse of painter Francisco Goya who is accused of heresy during the Spanish Inquisition - but she has now revealed she used a body double for some scenes.

Natalie said: "There's a long shot of a nude woman, but it's not me. You do see some parts of me unclothed, but if they end up on websites making it look like I'm nude, I'm going to be really, really angry."

The 26-year-old actress - who played a pole dancer in 'Closer' - has also denied she accepted the controversial role to rid herself of her squeaky-clean image.

She added: "I didn't do the scene in order to prove something. I just want to get on with my life and do what feels right."

Lindsay Lohan is heading back to rehab just days after completing a lengthy stay at Promises in Malibu, California.

The news comes after the troubled actress was arrested for drink driving and drug possession on Tuesday morning (24Jul07).

Lohan was pulled over by police after she was reported for driving erratically through the streets of Santa Monica, California, in hot pursuit of a car being driven by the mother of an assistant, who quit on Monday (23Jul07).

Police have confirmed the former assistant's mother was the person who reported Lohan, calling authorities on her cellphone.

Lohan had been celebrating a friend's birthday in Venice, California.

She was charged with a DUI and then police reportedly found cocaine in her pockets when she was booked.

Lohan has cancelled a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where she was due to promote her new movie I Know Who Killed Me, and she'll also be a no-show at the film's premiere later this week, according to reports.

Kelly Clarkson has only ever kissed five boys - because she is scared of catching herpes!

The 25-year-old singer insists she doesn't like smooching because it's too "personal" and she is always worried about what she might catch from potential suitors.

She said in an interview with Blender magazine: "I have major trust issues. I don't make out with people. That's a waste of my kisses and my time. And it's so personal - it's, like, my face. Plus I'm afraid of mouth herpes!"

Kelly previously dated US rocker Graham Colton, who she met when Graham's group, the Graham Colton Band, were the opening act on her 'Behind These Hazel Eyes Tour', in 2005.

They split in February 2006 after dating for around seven months due to conflicting work schedules.

Tom Cruise amazed guests at David and Victoria Beckham's 'Welcome to Los Angeles' party by doing the splits.

The Hollywood superstar - who hosted the bash for the soccer superstar and his Spice Girl wife - was showing off his acrobatic dance moves while gyrating with wife Katie Holmes.

A source said: "The party was in full swing when Tom amazed guests by doing the splits while he was dancing with Katie."

David and Victoria - who moved to Los Angeles earlier this month with their three sons after David joined the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team - danced intimately for much of the evening.

At one point, during a romantic song, David pulled Victoria close to him and whispered: "I love you so much."

Guests at the exclusive party, held at Hollywood's Museum Of Contemporary Art on Sunday (22.07.07), were treated to a delicious banquet which included the traditional English dish of sausage and mash and the American favourite, burgers and fries.

They were also served vintage champagne and fresh fruit cocktails in black crystal glasses.

Celebrities in attendance included, Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kutcher, Demi's ex-husband Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCartney and Eva Longoria.

Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who were also seen getting down on the dancefloor, helped Tom and Katie organise the bash.

Paris Hilton is planning to swap her gas-guzzling Range Rover SUV for a Ford hybrid, after the car manufacturers gave her an eco-friendly vehicle as a gift.

Paris said at music magazine BPM's green party at Los Angeles' Avalon nightclub: "I'm getting a car from Ford, a hybrid one.

"They gave me one. So, I think driving hybrid cars is the new way to go, and recycling."

'The Simple Life' star - who recently spent 23 days in jail for driving with a suspended license - is also planning to use her MySpace page to encourage fans to go green.

She said: On my MySpace, I'm going to start writing about ways kids can help save the world, because anyone can do it, no matter how old you are or where you're from.

"I just want this world to be a better place for my grandchildren.

"I'm scared with what's going on in the environment, so I hope people will help and make a difference. Everyone can."

Mariah Carey has slammed internet pranksters for creating a fake advertising campaign for her upcoming fragrance M By Mariah Carey.

The Hero hitmaker has signed a deal with cosmetics giant Elizabeth Arden to create the scent, which is expected to hit stores in September.

In recent weeks, a so-called ad, purporting to be for Carey's official perfume, has been circulating on the internet.

However, an Arden spokesman says, "An image of MC with her fragrance bottle photoshopped in the corner is being featured on several blogs today, and is categorically not the advertisement for her new fragrance, nor is it even remotely close.

The real ad for M by Mariah Carey will debut exclusively on TMZ during the second week of August."
