Hi Gorgeouses!
I’m still here! Still gossiping! Baby hasn’t come yet. SOOOO, on tap today: BRITNEY to submit to random drug tests; MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY jogging topless (what else is new…); JLO officially preggers; ANGELINA and BRAD need a bigger bed; and, MORE!!!
Big Brother is OVAH! I will miss it SO! But, we’ll talk about it next post, when probably everyone has seen the finale, kay? LOVE! BUT, what ever will we do without our thrice-weekly Big Brother?? I’ll keep my eyes open for scoop on Daniele and Nick — how curious are we about THAT?
check it!!!
BRITNEY GETS TO KEEP THE KIDS…ON CONDITION THAT…
Brit Brit gets to keep her kids. BUT, there are MANY court-ordered conditions to this…. Get this:
1. Brit must submit to random drug and alcohol tests twice a week because the Court found that there’s "a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by the Petitioner [Britney]."
2. Neither Brit nor Federline can take the kids out of the state unless they have the written consent of the other parent or court order.
3. Both Brit and Fed are forbidden to talk smack about the other or his/her family or spouse, in ANY WAY, to the children. They are also forbidden to allow their employees or friends or whomever to do so.
4. Brit and Fed must successfully complete a "Parenting Without Conflict" program.
5. NO ONE is allowed to use corporal punishment on the children. No spanking.
6. Brit and Fed must "engage in joint co-parenting counseling." They will split the cost of the therapy, and the Court will assign a therapist if the two can’t agree on one.
7. Neither Brit nor Fed can drink or ingest non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours before taking custody of the children.
8. Brit has to meet with a parenting coach EIGHT HOURS EACH WEEK, at least. This coach will observe and evaluate her ability to parent and her interaction with the children.
WOW! Pretty brutal! But, it’s all worth it for Brit to keep the kids. And, with her career in shambles, maybe this will help her shift focus and get productive in other, more important ways. She’s now FORCED to focus on her parenting and on her kids. And, she’s finally FORCED to get some THERAPY! Ultimately, it’s all good for the kids. They get their mom (as crazy as she may be), and they get her NEW-AND-IMPROVED — FOCUSED on them and on being a responsible parent and ADULT for once! This is good news, methinks! How ’bout you, Gorgeouses?
BRAD AND ANGELINA NEED A BIGGER BED
The whole family sleeps in the same custom-made 9-foot-wide bed! That’s Ang, Brad, Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh! And, they want a BIGGER bed for the 5th, 6th, 7th kid, etc.,etc.. Here’s what Brad tells a Toronto Film Festival interviewer (qtd. from The Associated Press):
"We’re not done. They say, `Any plans for a fifth?’ And I say, `And
a sixth, and a seventh, and an eighth, and a ninth.’ That’s my answer,"
he said."We also made a 9-foot-wide bed" that can fit him, Jolie and all
four children, Pitt said. "Just big enough. One more and we’ll have to
go to 11 feet."
Sounds cozy…and crowded…and so NOT SEXY like one would hope for the hottest couple alive….
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY JOGGING TOPLESS
This is TOTALLY for you, Gorgeouses. I’m SO not into him. Click to enlarge, if you MUST. Hee.

JLO IS OFFICIALLY PREGGERS AFTER YEARS OF TRYING
They did it! Marc Anthony and JLo are 12 weeks pregnant with what looks to be TWINS. It’s official. Apparently, they’d been trying for 2 years and finally opted for in vitro fertilization. Of course, it was a success. And, (most likely) twins are on the way. CONGRATS to the happy couple!!!
ALSO PREGGERS AND HAVING A BOY…SURPRISE SURPRISE….
I predicted girl, and it’s a boy. Way to go. But, FINALLY, we have confirmation. Christina Aguilera is, indeed, preggers. CONGRATS!
IT’S BAD…REALLY BAD….
Can you believe that’s Amy Winehouse? How sad is that? And, who’s doing worse? Her or Britney. In this pic, she’s looking out the window of her London flat — waiting for the mail…. Apparently, despite how BRUTAL she looks, Amy’s getting ready to record her next album, Back to Black. As she told the UK’s Daily Mirror, "I’m sorted out. Nothing is wrong with me…. A lot of fuss made about nothing.” Here’s hoping. Yikes!

LAVENDULA says
well those our great rules for brit and k-fed to have to adhere to.thats so nice for jlo and cristina.if you have a 9 foot bed how big is your bedroom?amy looks awful in that pic.she really needs to get her stuff together.wow.
Laural Dawn says
I think those are GREAT rules for Brit. And, with the exception of the court ordered therapy, I think they are pretty good parenting rules in general. I mean, maybe the no drinking within 12 hours is a little extreme – but it’s 50/50 custody so I think it’s good. Truthfully, when Matt was really difficult we went to counseling to figure out how to parent “the same” since we had a hard tome agreeing. It was the best thing we ever did.
I’m thrilled about JLO and Christina! So cool!!
Renee says
I had to LOL at the #7 and I agree that they should be following the law…no illegal stuff for them at all.
I would have added to that list that Brit needs to wear clothing when out in public! I mean why does she get to be indecently dressed in public? I mean she’s not even that good looking…slap an indecent exposure ticket on that woman!!!
Her family should be ashamed of her!
Yay on all the preggers even JLO although I hope she is much better than Brit at this…I’m thinking she will be since she had to pay to get preggers.
And for the Jolie-Pitt bed…ya know, I’m all for it…but “DOES THE WORLD REALLY NEED TO KNOW THIS???”
Tug says
I will have nightmares thinking of Skeletor’s babies… 😉
Hopefully these court appointed people will be able to help where no one else could with Brit…those poor, poor kids. And so CUTE.
Matthew used to do it for me, but he really needs a shower. And hair cut.
Jen says
Hopefully now that they are so closely monitored Brit and K-Fed can focus on the kids instead of themselves.
Great preggers news!
One thing I learned after feeling judged in some of my parenting decisions…don’t judge others. If that is what works for the Jolie-Pitts then more power to them. Nothing like a good night’s sleep and a few cuddles anyway. I bet this forces them to be a bit adventurous on the sexy side 😉
I WILL MISS YOU BIG BROTHER!!
Beck says
I HOPE that all of those rules make Britney and KFed into decent parents – those poor babies.
I look Amy Winehouse gorgeous in the morning,too, so I’m not going to point fingers….
Anne says
Um…yes I guess the rules are good but…
7. Neither Brit nor Fed can drink or ingest non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours before taking custody of the children.
Um? Hmmm…
Maybe I’m confused…
But…isn’t it against the law to “ingest non-prescription controlled substances” PERIOD?????
Or are the rules different for Brit and Fed???
Kath says
OI! Finally someone is going to slap Brit & KFed into shape. Those poor little boys…hopefully there are caseworkers out there to follow through with all the great recommendations.
As for the Jolie-Pitts, well, wow. That’s about all I can say. Now I am all FOR cosleeping, but, wow. And THAT many kids? I mean, wow.
And a JLO/Marc baby? Ewwwww…just the thought gives me shivers.
