Britney Spears was back in her favorite Primp hoodie for another typical day of errands and reckless driving yesterday. After getting her daily Starbucks fix with a Frappuccino, she headed to the gas station to pick up an energy drink. She then sped down the Pacific Coast Highway, apparently swerving through traffic. Britney's driving habits are definitely not going to help her get her kids back when her custody hearings continue next year. It sounds like cutting back the caffeine and getting a driver are just a couple of the resolutions she could afford to make after her ridiculous rollercoaster of a year in 2007.
There was no shortage of shocking headlines in 2007, and some stars were the talk of the town all year long. Whether they were the center of conversation for their glamorous lifestyles or for their trainwreck ways, we couldn't stop chatting about certain celebs. So tell us — who is the most talked about of 2007?
Lily Allen cuddled up to some furry friends, both real and stuffed, at the Harrods Winter Sale in London today. The starlet recently announced that she's expecting a little one next year, so we bet she didn't mind taking home a few of those cozy stuffed animals. We're not seeing any signs of a baby bump in her little black sequined number, and apparently Ms. Allen isn't the biggest fan of maternity wear. She even turned down offers to design clothes for future moms and said that she's not planning on incorporating any pregnancy wear into her clothing line. We can't help but wonder if this means that Lily decided to stock up on outfits for after the baby arrives at the department store's big sale.
Madonna's first film as a director, Filth and Wisdom, will debut in February at the Berlin Film Festival, out of competition. She's obviously a successful performer and businesswoman, but the movies have been her downfall in the past. Let's hope being behind the camera is a better fit for Madge. — AP
Carrie Underwood apparently spent the holidays with Chace Crawford's family in Dallas. It sounds like things are heating up between the adorable country star and Gossip boy, awww! — Us Weekly
The PR team for Stop Loss are trying to make sure that co-stars Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish promote the movie separately so audiences don't associate the movie with Ryan's divorce from Reese. Too bad it seems a little late for that, especially since Ryan and Abbie seem pretty together these days. — Page Six
Yulia Volkova, one of the girls from t.A.T.u., gave birth to her first son last night in Russia. Congrats to the new mom! — People
Paris Hilton is back in LA after a quick vacation in Hawaii and was straight out to her new favorite club, Goa, with Nicky last night. Yesterday everyone was abuzz with the news that Paris's grandfather is planning on leaving his $2.3 billion fortune to charity rather than his family (97 percent of it at least), but that doesn't seem to get in the way of Paris's good time. While I'm sure most of the Hiltons were already at least kind of aware of Barron's big plans, it's still a whole different thing for the world to know. Now being seen and making money for going to parties takes on a whole new meaning for Paris and Nicky. Tough work.
In case you missed it, Mischa Barton had quite an interesting day yesterday, getting charged with a DUI, having her mugshot taken, and being bailed out of jail by her mom. According to TMZ, Mischa blew a .12 on her breathalyzer test, was in possession of prescription pills, and had been smoking marijuana earlier that day (no surprises there). While this sounds like the kind of situation that immediately sends starlets to rehab, she's still set to host a New Year's Eve party at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. Apparently the news didn't put off the club whose rep said, “We are aware of Mischa Barton's incident last night, but at present she is still expected to host the CatHouse Grand Opening at Luxor Las Vegas on December 29th. We will let you know if anything changes." We still think she'll pull out of her duties, but if not, let's hope she keeps herself out of more trouble while in sin city.
