Britney is back at work after returning from her hometown of Kentwood, Lousiana where she was attending her aunt's funeral. Sandra Bridges Covington, 59, was the older sister of Brit's mom Lynne. She passed away from breast cancer on Jan.21. Britney flew back to LA Thursday afternoon on a private jet with Jayden James and Sean Preston. She then evidently went right to a dance rehearsal at Screenland Studios in Burbank. Entertainment Tonight mentioned that Britney might have been working hard in the dance studio for a surprise guest appearance at the Grammys! Stay tuned on that rumor.

Patrick Loves A Strong Woman

We just can't get enough of Patrick Dempsey, especially after Grey's this week.

We just can't get enough of Patrick Dempsey, especially after Grey's this week. While his character Derek seems kind of undecided on what he wants in a relationship at times, Patrick knows exactly what kind of woman he wants - a strong one. He doesn't have to look far though, considering he's already married to one. But Patrick says his wife Jill stops short of being bossy. Details reports:

“She doesn’t boss me around. But she certainly is strong enough to let me know where she stands. I want a strong woman. Otherwise I wouldn’t be married to her.”

“Jill’s good for him,” says Ellen Pompeo, his Grey’s flame. “I think maybe Patrick needs discipline. I don’t want to make it sound like Jill’s a dominatrix, but structure is something he craves. To me, what stands out about him the most is his sense of duty to his family. Jill’s a really lucky girl that way. Women throw themselves at him. I’ve never seen him flirt, you know, in a serious way. He’s always looking at his watch or phone—‘Gotta get home to the girls.’”

So sweet! We don't doubt that he has women following him around all the time. Luckily with guys like Patrick around, being a family man is still a possibility in Hollywood. I also love that he looks like he is in the pages of Details while filling his car with gas. Love his style! All class.

Will Smith Warms Up the Crowd

Will Smith knows how to get a crowd going!

Will Smith knows how to get a crowd going! The actor was filming in 11 degree temperatures in NYC with more than 1,000 extras. While they were waiting around to shoot a scene the actor found a way to take their minds off the super cold day. The Fresh Prince busted out Summertime to the crowd which sang along during the chorus. I know I would have been dancing along with the crowd as well.

Grammy Awards

JT Gets Hands-On

Too bad we're talking in the metaphorical sense here.

Too bad we're talking in the metaphorical sense here. With Sundance coming to a close, Justin's getting ready for his big Grammy performance on February 11th, which he'll rehearse with the winner of My Grammy Idol. Five finalists have been chosen, and JT had a major hand in the selection. Here's more:

"I was hands-on," Timberlake tells PEOPLE. "I looked at some tapes and gave my opinion."

The winner of the text-message and online vote will be announced just moments before the performance on Feb. 11, though the field will be narrowed down to three finalists by Feb. 4.

"To become a recording artist and the first time the world gets to hear them is at the Grammys, I don't think the opportunity gets any better or bigger," says Timberlake, who competed on the talent show Star Search as a kid.

The newly single star got a preview of the finalists' voices last week when they sang En Vogue's "Don't Let Go" for him. "They all have great voices," he says, adding with a goofball grin, "A couple of them are lookers too!"

Looks like newly single JT is keeping his eyes open at all times, but after Britney, I doubt he'd go for a potential pop star. For more pics in Park City, just read more

Kevin Bacon's Six Degrees

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are having a good month.

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are having a good month. She just won a Golden Globe and Kevin finally figured out what to do with the popular Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Instead of capitalizing on it, he's started a great charity called SixDegrees.org. It's a social networking site for charity where you can (among other things) support the causes of participating celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Kanye West. Kevin will match the the top six non-celeb fundraisers by donating up to $10,000 to their cause. To find out more about it go to SixDegrees.org
