    On Saturday evening, Britney Spears caused a minor accident on a Los Angeles freeway.  When she failed to stop, her Mercedes rear ended the care in front of her which caused that car to bump into another one. The driver of the third car didn't notice any damage and drove off. A sobriety test was performed on Spears and she passed. She probably was texting. [Source]

    Singer Amy Winehouse performs onstage at Lollapalooza in Grant Park on Aug. 5, 2007 in Chicago
    Amy Winehouse
    won't be releasing a new album anytime soon. Her label, Island Records tried to send her on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas but Winehouse refused. They tried to make her go on vacation but she said "no…no…no".  "It was hoped they would make some decent progress recording the album. But Amy pulled out at the last minute," an insider told the UK tabloid The Sun. She's not the kind of artist you can just stick in the studio for a month and get an album done. And I now think early 2009 would be a good result." Oh and as if she needs a new addiction, one of her so-called friends has told a tabloid that "We've had cannabis, cocaine, crack, heroin and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil ... ironing is definitely her new favorite."

    What is society's obsession with sex tapes? The late Marilyn Monroe had a 15 minute sex tape that sold for a reported $1.5 million dollars. The New York man who bought the tape said it will be kept from public view. I'm sure now that people know this is out there, somebody will eventually get their hands on it and it will be plastered all over the net. [Source]


    Monica
    has been away for a minute but she'll soon be back with a new album. The R&B singer left a message on her fan-site stating some details about her upcoming album. Interestingly titled 'Lessons Learned' the album is expected to be released in August via J Records. Expect to hear a single sometime in June/July. [Source]


    Am I the only one that finds it funny that just days after announcing their engagement now Usmagazine reports that Ashlee Simpson is pregnant? Are we trying to cover up the whole baby out of wedlock situation? I think so. [Source]
