Britney Spears on the Cover of Glamour Magazine

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:59:33 +0000

Britney Spears appears on the January 2009 cover of Glamour magaine. You can tell she is mentally more healthy because she talks about her "crazy year," and even says "I got your crazy," in her Womanizer song. In the magazine Britney says:

Britney On Making Positive Changes In Her Life:
“Recording this album has helped take my mind off certain things,” Britney says. “For me, my music is therapy.”

Britney On Getting Back In Shape:
“I’m getting there. Recently I started to appreciate my body a bit more from before I had kids. My body…completely changed after giving birth, and I have had to work hard at getting it back.”

Britney On How She Spends Her Free Time:
“I don’t like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people. I love my home and staying in bed and watching ‘Dancing With The Stars’ or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I’m kind of boring.”

Britney ends with this bit of insight:

“I would like to stop worrying so much because I worry all the time,” she tells the mag. “And to learn how to be happier, just in general. I have to learn to take things not so seriously.”

Britney Spears performed Womanizer for the third time, only this time it was on X Factor, but with a few minor changes. Like so many of Britney’s performances she doesn’t do much, but her dancers are fantastic. I’m not going to be too critical of Britney. After all she was crazy just months ago.

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:13:08 +0000

Although it was rumored that Alex Rodriguez would not be spending Thanksgiving Day with his ex-wife and children, he managed to squeeze in some time with family before running off to be Madonna’s sex thing.

The new couple spent Thanksgiving evening and night together, and the next day A-Rod attended Madonna’s Miami concert. During the show, the Yankees playboy handed Madge a water bottle from his first row seat.

This weekend the couple traveled to Mexico City where Madonna performed and Alex helped inaugurate a new sports stadium. He also spent two hours teaching children to bat.

If anyone knows wood, it would be him. Heh.

At the event, Rodriguez told the crowd, “It’s a pleasure to talk about baseball, to talk about the importance of keeping children off the streets, out of drugs and out of all the bad things that there are in this life.”

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 09:48:41 +0000

Ricki Lake is an actress and tabloid talk show host who is best known for her long running Ricki Lake Show and a recurring role on King of Queens. She made some significant life style changes in early 2007 and has lost 140 pounds ‘the old fashioned way‘. She once tipped the scales at 270 pounds and still can’t believe that she was ever overweight now that she has become accustomed to her new form.

The 40 year old mother of two sons, credits her daily delivery of prepared meals from Fresh Dining. The organic fare satisfies her and keeps her on track but she does worry that something could throw her off balance. She stays active and is satisfied with her current weight but does admit that she is guilty of wanting to lose more. Not immune to the pressures of staying thin, she said, “According to Hollywood standards, I’m not a thin girl, I’m a normal girl.”

The holiday season can pose problems for many people who suddenly lose their resolve and succumb to full blown grazing. She weighed in on the dilemma by saying, “I will be really conscious because I have this book coming out and I want to look great. I don’t need to lose any more weight but I don’t want to go backwards. So I’m not going to pig out this Christmas.”

We checked out the website and discovered that Fresh Dining, located in Southern California, was founded in 2005 and offers five plans: Fresh Dining, Fresh Lite, Healthy Lifestyle, Fresh Mommy and Whole Family.

Madonna, Alex Rodriguez in Mexico City

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 09:28:13 +0000

Alex Rodriguez and Madonna were together - in the same city, anyway.

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez was in the Mexican capital on the same weekend the pop star was performing there. It wasn’t immediately known if the All-Star third baseman and Madonna met while in Mexico City.

When asked what he thought about being in the city at the same time as Madonna, Rodriguez said it was “very good,” without elaborating.

Rodriguez spent two hours Sunday teaching kids to bat at a new sports center built on a landfill in the poor suburb of Nezahualcoyotl while Madonna prepared to perform for a sold-out second night in the capital as part of her “Sticky & Sweet” tour.

Rodriguez and his wife divorced in September, months after he made tabloid headlines for a rumored, but denied, dalliance with Madonna.

Less than four weeks later, Madonna and filmmaker husband Guy Ritchie announced their own split after nearly eight years of marriage.

Rodriguez, known by fans as “A-Rod,” was invited to inaugurate the sports center by Mexico’s richest man, Carlos Slim, whose Telmex Foundation sponsored its construction. The site includes two baseball diamonds and 25 soccer fields.

“It’s a pleasure to talk about baseball, to talk about the importance of keeping children off the streets, out of drugs and out of all the bad things that there are in this life,” the New York City-born Rodriguez said in Spanish.

According to New York Post gossip column Page Six, the picture is a gory teen thriller about a serial killer running wild through a coastal California town.

Karl Loves Britney For Her Art

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 08:04:00 +0000

If you, like us, were in the woods for four days eating sickening amounts of turducken and cranberry sauce topped off with pumpkin pie and whipped cream, you missed this gem.

Germany held their Bambi awards last week to honor those in media and entertainment. (To give you a vague idea of their merit, Meg Ryan took home the lifetime achievement award.)

Anyway, Britney Spears performed Womanizer, minus Chuck Bass, in a very Madonna-esque ouftit before Karl Lagerfeld presented her with the Pop International Award. We're not positive what that means exactly, but we do know that Karl admires Britney, "not only for [her] art, but also for [her] energy," (emphasis ours) and is thrilled she's come "back not just as a phoenix but as a Bird of Paradise."

You can't really catch the rest due to the German translation, but Meg Ryan's priceless face kind of says it all.
