Britney Spears has been working hard lately, from her trip to the recording studio last night to appearances on How I Met Your Mother, so it's no big deal that the pop star could use a little vacation. Here's the twist — according to ET she's on her way to Costa Rica right now with Mel Gibson! While this isn't the first time Brit and Mel have spent some time together, he still seems like a interesting choice of vacation buddies. The good thing is that Jamie is along to keep an eye on Brit, so maybe some fun in the sun is all she needs to recover from her little car accident this week.

This is definitely a step up from her green machine moment on Tuesday night, but Beyonce still looked a tad disheveled out in NYC yesterday afternoon before heading up to Boston. The singer looked very enthralled next to her husband Jay-Z watching the Boston Celtics narrowly beat the Cleveland Cavaliers (yay) in the NBA playoffs last night. There was with nary a baby bump in sight, but if there is a little one on the way, you think he/she is next in line for a House of Dereon modeling gig? Ugh.

Victoria Beckham had another day of looking impeccably stylish in her high-waisted skirt as she left the Dorchester Hotel in London. She's been busy this week making her way around town but also found the time to give a couple of interviews to The Sun and GMTV. While she doesn't always show her pretty smile, her sweet and down-to-earth demeanor easily came through when talking about her husband, her kids, and her friends in Hollywood. Here are a few highlights:
- On hanging out with George Clooney at the Costume Institute Gala: “I have only just got to know George. He was so nice, a real gentleman and absolutely hilarious. He has a great sense of humor. But I think David is better looking than him. Definitely.”
- On getting involved at the boys' schools: “They love it when Mummy and Daddy turn up to serve lunch. My parents do it and David’s mum has done it too. I’d rather go to Pumpkin Patch at school than dinner at the Ivy."
- On her star-studded trip to Napa: “It was a wild weekend. You know me, I don’t drink, but it was a great weekend. They are such nice people.”
- On spending time with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: "Do you know we go to lots of different things together and they're great and really normal. And people don't want to hear that, people want to hear that people are weird."
While we think Posh was just messing with us about the drinking — we know she loves her wine — sounds like she's already campaigning for David to be this year's Sexiest Man Alive! That's definitely a nomination we can get behind.

Jamie Lynn Spears may be getting into the home stretch of her pregnancy, but she's not letting that get in the way of matchy matchy accessories running errands with Casey in Kentwood yesterday. From the earrings to the bangle to the shoes, JL was getting in the spirit of her upcoming baby girl with all the pink. Between her two baby showers and frequent shopping trips little Jamie Lynn has to be almost ready for her daughter to arrive — or as prepared as one could ever be, I suppose.

Is there a movie festival going on? Because the only topic at Cannes so far seems to be Angelina Jolie's twins! This morning Angie looked radiant in white showing up for the Kung Fu Panda photo call with her costars, while the interview alongside Jack Black where he divulged the double big news aired on The Today Show. It would seem that Angelina's costars are hell bent on leaking all the baby news, because Dustin Hoffman spilled the beans on a supposed due date — August 19! Seems a bit late, no? In the interview Angelina gushed:
- On being pregnant: “I'm very happy . . . I'm like most women, I love being pregnant.” She added that pregnancy makes “you feel like more like a woman than you've ever felt. You just feel like everything about your body is there for your baby.”
- On her children's heritage: “They have a real pride in who they are,” she said. “Our daughter's very proud that she's African. And our boys are very proud that they're Asian — they know about their country . . . down to their food or their flags or their music.”
- On teaching them about the world: “We keep nothing from them when we take them around the world, so they're more resilient than we are as adults." Jolie added that her curious kids “ask great questions about life. They ask questions about war that are poignant and spot-on because they’re the questions we should all be asking ourselves.”
Check out the video after the jump, but I'm not sure I've ever seen Jolie so animated (heh) talking about her family, the movies, the babies, and how popular Mr. Black is amongst the Jolie-Pitt clan. I can't help but love where she's at right now with her family lounging around happily in France awaiting those two new arrivals.
