So what is going on with Miss Britney Spears these days, it's been at least two days since we checked in, after all. First, I guess I may have been wrong in assuming there's nothing going on between Britney and her bodyguard, Damion -- depending on who you believe the two are or are not an item. Silver Lining If So: At least he's well versed in her parenting style! The two have been staying at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons amidst a whole bunch of rumors about child protection services visiting her house and being upset about the lack of a fence around her pool...or maybe it was Kevin's pool. It's all very convoluted, and I'm not sure any of the theories really hold any water (sorry, sorry).
At least she's got someone to hang out with all the time, because apparently her cousin Alli has been added to her ever-growing Not Speaking To List. Alli's not the only thing Brit's looking to get rid off, she's apparently put her Beverly Hills house on the market where her Malibu house still resides. Losing both homes? Sean Preston must be heartbroken!
Cute cute Emma Watson was looking all sophisticated and stylish on her way to The Late Show With David Letterman last night. This actress is always looking so pretty and poised, she's quickly becoming one of our new favorite starlets. She's even rumored to be Chanel's new muse! Lucky girl! Apparently Emma isn't totally used to all the media attention because she seemed a little nervous and fidgety when Dave put her in the hot seat. We wish we could give her a little reassuring pat on the back - not only is she adorable, but Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is already breaking box office records after only a day!

Jennifer ran into what looks like an old friend in Shaquille O'Neal at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons yesterday afternoon. Awwww, how great would a hug from Shaq be? After putting in some hard time at the gym, Jen was looking ultra fit even though her gorgeous Louboutins are a little worse for the wear. Shaq, a Miami resident, was in town for last night's ESPY Awards fun. Hopefully at the show he had a chance to plug Shaq's Big Challenge, his reality series helping kids deal with childhood obesity. Considering how much his weight fluctuates from off-season to the playoffs every year, he definitely knows a thing or two about fitness. Gotta love the big man.
Penelope may have had some plane troubles a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like she finally made it overseas and landed in Paris. She left her hotel and headed out in the city of love to do a photoshoot for L'Oreal. After that, we're assuming that she'll finally make it to Barcelona to join Scarlett on the set of Woody Allen's new movie. We can't wait to to get a few more details about the film, especially with two such stunning leading ladies.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was happy to pose while filming her latest Maybelline ad outside Pastis in NYC yesterday. Naturally, her hair and make-up looked tre bella, but what I'm really impressed with is her ability to ride that pink pink bike in those high high heels. I suppose that's why she's allowed multiple takes.
After presenting at the ESPY Awards, Kelly Clarkson took her pretty dress to Koi. Kelly's new album has caused a lot of controversy lately, but the pop star is still holding her head high and believing in herself, even in spite of her record label's complaints. My December debuted at #2 on the US Billboard Charts and dropped to #3 this week. Still not too shabby if you ask us. In an upcoming issue of Reader's Digest, Kelly talks about the current state of her career. Here's more:
On the RCA Records haters:
“They hated Miss Independent on my first album. It was No. 1 for six weeks, then they got behind it. They hated Breakaway. The song I wrote that they hated the most was Because of You. I fought and fought for it, it became successful and they finally got behind it. I’m not complaining, I’ll just say no until I get my way, and I did.”
On rumors that Clive Davis didn’t like her new album, My December:
“I just want people to hear it, instead of 100-year old executives making decisions on what’s good for pop radio. It’s people my age who listen to it. My gut hasn’t been wrong yet, so why wouldn’t I continue to follow it?”
Sounds like Kelly has plenty of faith in herself and a good head on her shoulders. We just hope that she's able to prove herself again; we wouldn't want this to be the December of her career.
Rachel Zoe was photographed walking down Robertson, Starbucks in hand, looking ready for some serious shopping. She looked chic in her round sunglasses and Chanel bag, which she wore with of-the-moment thigh-high boots, a denim Current/Elliott biker jacket, and printed scarf.
