The Brit Gets Richer in Vegas

Britney Spears has clearly hit a hot streak – first she gets rid of K-Fed, and now she's scoring at the blackjack tables in Las Vegas.

The pop princess, on the Vegas leg of her national re-intrduction tour, partied with Mario Lopez and played the tables to the tune of $10,000 at the Palms' high-limit lounge, The Mint, according to People. While at the Palms, Spears did some work as well, mixing some new tracks at the hotel's recording studio.

"She looks and sounds great," says a source. "Her voice never sounded better ... She's ready to kick ass."

TomKat Makes Italians Molto Furioso

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took off on their honeymoon yesterday, but they left a bad taste in the mouth of the Italian locals whose hometown they invaded for the last week. As the New York Daily News reports, roadblocks and gridlock were the order of the day in Bracciano, a suburb of Rome, and what did the townspeople get for all their trouble? Nary a "grazie" or an "arrivederci." A 76-year-old man, Sergio Pagliaro, and his wife waited for hours in the rain for a mere glimpse of the newlyweds, but they were denied. "After all the hype and the publicity, nobody has seen anything of this wedding. They did not even come out to say hello."

Sawyer to Supplant Gibson? Larry King?

Diane Sawyer is likely to be the next host of "World News Tonight" after the 2008 election, replacing current anchor Charlie Gibson, but, until then, what's she going to do with herself. Other than staying at "Good Morning America," says Page Six, she might take over as the host of "Nightline" for a while, or even replace the aging Larry King as host of his CNN show, though that rumor is probably a false one. And who would take over for her at "GMA"? Perhaps ABC's Kate Snow, or NBC's Campbell Brown.

Party Favors: Kimberly Stewart's Liver is Fine ... Penguins Beat Bond at Box Office ... OJ Nixed on Some FOX Affiliates

Kimberly Stewart is really really mad that her father blabbed about a liver illness to "Rolling Stone" magazine. According to Page Six, Rod told the magazine that her daughter had "a serious illness" from too much drinking, though Kimberly says that her hepatic health is just fine. "I love my dad, but sometimes he has a big mouth and not just when he's singing," says Kimberly ... "Happy Feet" took the weekend box-office crown with $42.3 million, just edging out the latest James Bond installment "Casino Royale," which opened with $40.6 million ... The controversial OJ Simpson interview won't be airing on some FOX stations, including Mobile, Ala., and Providence, RI.

I really resent the antics of Hollywood star freaks being portrayed as ,Normal. Ho's,pimps,bastard kids,sluts,dopers,crack heads,shimmy shakers,T&A queens,queers, and lesbos are all being trotted out to thr public as normal Hollywood folks.I remember River Phoenix ,gasping for air, in front of Johnny Depps club, as he died from a drug overdose.That was my clue to a good life. We are normal not you Hollywood freaks.Former SAG member,me. The Rayman

Britney, if your going to take advice, go to NY Post, Liz Smith and read her column. She said it perfectly, follow her advice and hold your head up and for God's sake stay away from Mario!!!!! Another loser!!!!

Now that Britney has removed that 185 pound tumor from his ass I bet she feels alot better. The tumor known as K-Gone is probably living in Motel 6 somewhere, just remember they leave the lights on.

Where are Britney's children?

I think the best thing she could do for her image is to be a good mother. For now, she needs to realize she can't pretend to be the innocent ingenue any more... those days are over.

The Italian citizens have a right to be mad with TomKat.

Diane Sawyer needs to stay at ABC.

Anderson Cooper should replace Larry King.

Seriously:  1911 days ago

Britany's kids are with their nannies, just like most of celebrites with kids.
They pick a day, have a cesarean section so they don't have to
go through labor and feel actual pain, have the kid and then pass them off
to someone to take care of. Nice.

As for Kimberly Stewart. Who gives a rat's ass? She a star's daughter and
that's her only plus. Just another party girl who gets attention.

I'm very curious as to what/when Britney will do next, as far as her career is concerned. The girl hasn't had a hit in years, I'm not sure she has the same fan base she had before (teeny boppers).

She needs a major image makeover, and partying and gambling are not the way to do it when you have a 7 week old infant and a 1 year old son that need looking after. True she does need "me" time, but she really needs a reality check.

Tom and Katie, whatever makes you happy and smiling, go for it. I have never seen Katie so radiant and she truly looks happy, her smile says it all. Congrats!

ALL Fox staions and affiliates should ban OJ. It's disgusting and makes me ill thinking about it.

Where is Shaina Moakler when we need her? She needs to give these two a reality check: A good slap and rip the hair extensions out. One needs to go back with her kids and find a normal life, the other one needs to be shipped off for citizenship in the Bahamas and join that other looney.

Shanna Moakler is a filthy over-hill pig who is trying to get famous by picking fights with Paris.
Britney and Paris, on the other hand, are really cute together. While everyone here gets excited, the two are out having fun and getting on with their lives. So should YOU.
