Lets Get This Party Started
Train Wrecks
Brit's Breakdown, Part Two

Pop catastrophe Britney Spears is a non-stop tornado of trouble. After walking off the set of her disastrous OK! magazine photo shoot two weeks ago, Brit-Brit continued her busted breakdown while filming a new music video. Sources told the Daily News that she seemed "disoriented" and "erratic" during the shoot for her new single "Get Back."

The tawdry trainwreck seemed "wobbly," said one source, and had to keep stopping for frequent bathroom breaks. "You could see she was getting a bit wobbly, but no one expected her to throw a complete fit. Suddenly, she was in floods of tears and stormed off set. She eventually came back but was sobbing hysterically."

The shoot, and Spears, had to be called off early.

Usher's Gift Gaff

He's got it bad: The nuptials for R&B smoothie Usher and girlfriend Tameka Foster were called off, but that hasn't stopped would-be wedding guests from grumbling about gifts.

Reports the Daily News, the millionaire couple registered for their wedding at Crate & Barrel and Williams-Sonoma. Among the items on their wedding wish list, $8 asparagus tongs and a $4,000 espresso maker. Some guests thought the registry was tacky.

"You'd think that he'd invite people to give to a favorite charity," the source said. "Does he really need another toaster?"

Steve Martin's Surprise Marriage


How mahvelous! Funnyman Steve Martin and longtime girlfriend Anne Stringfield tied the knot yesterday in a surprise ceremony. Martin and Stringfield invited friends to their L.A. home for what was supposed to be a dinner party, but shocked guests by getting hitched instead.

Saturday Night Live chief Lorne Michaels served as best man, and guests included Diane Keaton, Tom Hanks and Eugene Levy, reports People.

This is Stringfield's first walk down the aisle, and Martin's second. He was married to actress Victoria Tennant for nine years.

Party Favors... Diddy No Darling On Riviera...Catherine Zeta-Jones, Not So Eggs-ellent

P. Diddy's star is slipping -- at least in St. Tropez. The bad boy rapper showed up at trendy Tropez hotspot Les Caves Thursday night but was refused a table at the swank eatery. "He is so B-List here, no one even acknowledges him," reports a source to Page Six. ... Welsh wonder Catherine Zeta-Jones may be a star chef on-screen, but in real life, still gets scrambled in the kitchen. She tells Gatecrasher that, "I still can't boil an egg because I never get it runny enough if I want it runny, and I never get it hard-boiled enough before it explodes, so I think egg-boiling is the hardest thing I've ever done." But, she adds, dessert's no problem. "I can make you tiramisu anytime you want."

31. Has anyone considered the possibility that Britney is suffering from undiagnosed post-partum depression? She's young, she wasn't raised in a sophisticated atmosphere, she's made the foolish choices of a very young person with a lot of money, she's already divorced... it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out she had developed post-partum depression and she didn't know to recognize it, and it's simply progressed. Her bizarre manic-depressive swings would not be unusual. The earlier commenter who mentioned the possibility of bi-polar disorder could well be right, too.

32. Every site is reporting Brit's so called melt down BUT there are many pictures of her during the shoot and not a single one shows a crying melt down.

Also every star in Hollywood is accused of taking too many bathroom breaks. It serves a purpose for the story teller as a quick easy way to accuse the stars of drug abuse.

It's sad that every magazine and blog has turned into the lie and spin it to sell it National Enquirer.

33. I think Britney needs some time with her kids and "real" People - get her way from her blood suckers and calm her down and she will see the forest from the trees But she needs to get away from the paperazzi too. A small town get away is what she needs.

34. It’s also sad that most readers have the mentality of a mosquito and believe whatever is fed to them never stopping to think maybe these writers have an agenda to sell a story.

35. Congrats to Steve Martin! But I thought that he was married to Bernadette Peters prior to VictoriaTennant. Can someone confirm this for me?

37. I have to agree with poster 26, although it seems her public meltdown is on every site. I have looked at the video shoot pictures and it is truly heartbreaking. There is one pic of her squatting down with her little dog. She has this odd blank stare with a vacant look. It's so haunting. I am not a fan of Brit, but if this were my daughter, I would do evertything in my power to get her the help she needs. I wouldn't care that she might not speak to me again nor shut me out. I would be more interested in saving her life. To me, this a form of abuse to just sit around and do nothing. This is someone's daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend etc. Why will no one help her? It is truly a disgrace. I don't hate nor love her, I can only feel the upmost sympathy for this whole situation.

If you take enough pictures of someone eventually you will get one with an odd look on thier face. How funny that there were many, many pictures taken and out of them all throughout that entire day that was the only one with a odd look.
Where are the crying melt down pics?
Oh that's right there are non because it never happened.

39. I know all that is being said about Britney is gossip, but if it is true, why doesn't someone help this girl? There has to be someone who is close to her and could recommend a therapist. Also, if all of this is true, why hasn't her ex-husband or mother stepped in to have the children removed from her custody? I am frightened and sad for Brittney, but even more so for her innocent children.

40. I hope Steve Martin's new bride will get him out of the house for a bit of sun before he turns into a vampire. He looks like death warmed over!

I realize you are obviously a fan, but you must not know anything about mental illness. You have to look beyond the pictures. I take pictures all the time and I never get one such as this, but if I did, it would distress me. It's not just the video shoot pictures. Britney is disintegrating right in front of everyone's eyes and it is truly heartbreaking. As a fan, I realize you must care for her. I can totally understand that, but denial is denial. It doesn't make anything better for her or her fans. I don't need to see crying pictures of this woman to know she has serious problems. People say it's just the tabloids creating gossip. I would believe that, except for the fact that I have two eyes.You love her, I pity her. It's just that simple. Sometimes people see what they want to see. I have nothing to gain or lose in my opinion. She means nothing to me, other than a sad story, where parents are not doing anything to help their child. Maybe you feel that by defnding her you will change people's minds. I can respect that, but I don't think it will happen. There comes a time when professionals need to take over. I think that time should be be now. If not, soon we won't be on any blog writing about Britney.


Have a nice day.

I'm not a fan of hers. I just see someone that is already down and doesn't deserve or need the media making up or exaggerated stories for their own financial gain. If she did something dumb then fine report it but don't make up lies as you go which happens all the time and people like you eat up and love every minute of it.
