We’ve seen plenty of strange moments over the years from Britney Spears. Many of those odd photos included strange hairstyles. Nobody can forget the photo of Britney Spears with no hair at all during her bald ambition phase. Most of us think of Britney Spears as a blonde.

Britney Spears just traded in her flaxen tresses for raven hair. That’s right, now Britney Spears has black hair instead of blonde. It’s not the first time Britney Spears walked on the dark side but it’s been awhile. In fact, Britney Spears natural color is dark. Plenty of fans already prefer her black hair over the overprocessed blonde look she had for so long.

Whether Britney is blonde or has black hair, bloggers still think she’s hot. The past couple of years have really made Britney more mature instead of acting like a Disney brat. Britney’s new attitude and darker hair just make us think she’s…well, hotter. We’re lovin’ your look Britney!

In 2006, Alexa Ray Joel put out her own short album that included her single, “Invisible”. Not invisible anymore, Alexa Ray was rushed to the hospital recently after taking 8 pills at her New York City apartment.

A friend with Alexa Ray called 911 to let them know she took the pills. At this point, it is unknown whether the overdose was accidental or an attempted suicide. Was Alexa Ray just partying like other famous Long Islanders such as Lindsay Lohan? Did she get upset after the very public and controversial divorce between mom Christie Brinkley and former hubby Peter Cook. Only time will tell.

Alexa Ray is in stable condition and getting the help she needs at the hospital. We wonder how daddy and mommy feel about all this…

Hollywood Howie — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 00:58:37 +0000

We know guys like Bobby Brown are bad boys because they tell us. On the other hand, the Tiger Woods scandal involves this clean-cut looking golfer who always maintained a squeaky clean rep. Was he just duping the public all along?

Tiger Woods’ quiet life was disturbed forever after his early morning car crash on November 27 outside his Florida home. After Tiger was unable to give a logical explanation for the early hours crash, several women decided to claim they were having an affair with the married pro golfer. Are these babes just looking for a few minutes of fame or is Tiger a stud after all? One of the woman says she carried on with Woods for 31 months.

Tiger responded to all the media hype on Wednesday with the following statement:

“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. … Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. … Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.”

Bloggers wonder if Tiger realized being in the public eye meant…well, having no privacy. Hey, you don’t get paid the big bucks for nothing!

Hollywood Howie — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:03:40 +0000

We’ve heard plenty about Amy Winehouse and her habits over the past year. Most recently rumor about Amy have a boob job surfaced all over the Internet. Amy’s daddy Mitch just confirmed the reports. He said his daughter had breast surgery to the tune of 35,000 pounds and is starting her life fresh after a long battle with drugs.

The Daily Express said Mitch told them, “As far as we were concerned, she wasn’t an offender… she was someone who was sick and who has not been sick now for a year. (She’s) fantastic. Her boobs are great as well! She looks absolutely fantastic. I didn’t have to pay for it, that’s all I know. I didn’t have to pay for the boobs. There is no total recovery, it’’s a recovery and if you look back to where we were a year ago, we are on a different planet. We are in a different space and a different time and a different person.”

Amy hung out for an extended Caribbean stay early this year to kick her habits. Wonder when her and the twins will be able to go out and play?

Is Chris Brown Still Hot For Rihanna?

Hollywood Howie — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:51:07 +0000

Who can forget the major brawl between Chris Brown and Rihanna with those nasty pics of her battered face all over the Internet? Recently Brown came clean about his feelings for sensational singer Rihanna to Hot 97 DJ Angie Martinez.

We’ve been friends since I was like 15, we got serious when I was like, 17. Feelings are feelings and they don’t go away overnight…I really care about her.” When asked if he would date someone new, Brown said, “”I’m taking my time right now. I’m back to square one. I still got feelings for Shorty, I gotta get over the hump.”

Seems Will Smith and Puffy called Brown to offer support during the crisis. Brown grew up in an environment with domestic violence and never wanted to be part of such a scene. Brown knows he let a lot of fans down with his actions despite his apologies and said, “I’ve learned from my mistakes and I’m learning from them. And I regret every moment, every second of it.”

Horny Old Men Gone Wild

Hollywood Howie — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:16:39 +0000

It seems like all the horny old men have gone wild lately. Most recently, Dr. Phil was sued by a woman named Shirley Dieu who claims she sought therapy from Phil in 2007. Instead she was allegedly held captive in Dr. Phil’s production offices, forced to stare a man with no clothes and then the doc grabbed her left breast. Dieu claims Dr. Phil tried to “brainwash” her, subject her to physical and emotional abuse and forced her to be in the same room “with a completely naked live man while he exposed his entire naked body, genitals and all.” When Dieu allegedly tried to escape she claims she was “blocked by the staff to prevent her from leaving.” We assume she is suing for an insane amount but it’s undisclosed at this point.

Meanwhile, David Letterman publicly admitted he had sex with his staff members than had to face the heat from his wife. Staff members who brought the scandal to light are already being banned from The Late Show set.

Now Peter Cook, ex-hubby to Christie Brinkley, claims Brinkley is keeping him away from his kids and wants her imprisoned - or at least to take anger management classes. What is making all these old guys go wild?!?!

Hollywood Howie — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:23:54 +0000

As America still speculates about the questionable death of Playboy pinup Anna Nicole Smith and her son, it seems someone is talking about her deadly desires. Before the demise of Anna Nicole, it is rumored she wanted to kill off the son of her late hubby, J. Howard Marshall II.

According to Anna’s ex, Mark “Hollywood” Hatten, Smith was constantly high on drugs. When she was drugged out, she was start, “begging me to kill E. Pierce Marshall”. It seems Anna claimed after her husband death, Pierce was purposefully, “standing in the way of her money.”

Despite Anna’s pleas to get rid of Pierce, apparently Mark didn’t want to have anything to do with this alleged plot. Hatten decided to tell Pierce’s lawyer about it. While Hatten was doing time in jail, he claims he was interviewed by the FBI twice about the matter.

Anna and Howard K. Stern met with the FBI and an agent let them know about Hatten’s claim. Word on the street says the agent did not believe Hatten’s tale. The FBI concluded there was “insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot.” But what about the untimely deaths of Anna and her son? Hmmm…

Lindsay Cracks Up

We’ve been watching lovely Lindsay Lohan crack up for years. Dedicated fans such as ourselves can never forget those infamous “Firecrotch” moments, her partying days and that sticky relationship with DJ Sam Ronson. It seems Linds is cracking up again - this time, she was behind the wheel of a Maserati. Has she been taking driving lessons from Britney Spears?

Anyhow, it seems Lindsay borrowed a Maserati then proceeded to smack it up. The guy who lent her the car decided to just rent her another one instead. The big problem - Lohan never paid the dude. Apparently, Lindsay pimped out rides from Specialty Car Craft, a rental company owned by Dennis DeSantis.

According to DeSantis, LiLo owes him a lofty $10,260 for a variety of cars she rented. The total amount owed increases to $12,310 when you consider related towing and detailing expenses. While DeSantis forgave Linds for cracking up the Maserati, now he is considering legal action for this unpaid bill. Nobody was able to reach Lindsay’s peeps for comment.

Did Jennifer Lopez just take over the White House? Well, not exactly but she did make her presence known. JLo and hubby Marc Anthony recently went to Washington D.C. for a couple of special Latino events. While there, the couple visited another famous couple - Barack and Michelle Obama. Lopez and Anthony also brought the twins Max and Emme along - who actually did take over the White House!

Seems the twins were being typical kids and Anthony laughed, “Max was tearing apart the White House!” Afterwards, Marc and Jen attended a 32nd Annual Gala celebrating Latinos and Marc received a special Lifetime Achievement Award. Anthony announced the creation of the Marc Anthony Scholarship Fund. Lopez and Anthony were also seated with appointed Supreme Justice Court Sonia Sotomayor.

President Obama said about Sotomayor during a speech to the audience, “She’s someone who we adore and who will make us really, really proud in the coming years”. So are Max and Emme the next residents of the White House? Guess time will tell…
