Can Brit Save Career with Big Surprise?

It could be the last chance for Britney Spears to be more than a tabloid tart – yet another "surprise" performance, this time at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Rush & Molloy report that, as rumor has it, Brit-Brit is getting ready for a not-so-secret splash at the VMAs, and that she's been prepping with manager-mogul Jeff Kwatinetz (recently canned by Kelly Clarkson, as TMZ first reported). Her record label, reports the News, is "worried any missteps (or a no-show) could hurt her comeback." Unlike chicken-greased photo shoots or topless hot-tub hookups, of course.

Meanwhile, the rash of subpoena-serving in the Britney-K-Fed divorce spread Tuesday, with another of Brit's ex-assistants and her manny-bodyguard getting their own speedy deliveries. Shannon Funk, who TMZ caught cavorting with OK! mag staffers, and Daimon Shippen, the manny who many thought might be a paramour, were served at the airport and getting of his car, respectively, reports People.

Imus Slapped with Suit by Rutgers Baller


And now, the deluge. Shock jock Don Imus got rapped with his first civil suit stemming from Nappy-Headed-gate, as Rutgers' star center Kia Vaughn filed a lawsuit yesterday alleging libel, slander and defamation on Imus' part, reports ABC News.

Vaughn's lawyer, Richard Ancowitz, says that the suit was filed "to restore the good name and reputation" of Vaughn, and that by calling his client and her team "nappy-headed hos," the I-Man "referred to [Vaughn] as an unchaste woman," which is apparently untrue. Imus, of course, settled with CBS Radio, which fired him earlier this year, for $20 million.

Kim K – I'm Just a Flat-Assed Waif!


Kim "The Tush" Kardashian just shakes her bootay head at the notion that she's had any kind of gluteal implant, but claims that she's small potatoes compared to her much more bodacious relations. "I'm Armenian; you should see all the women in my family," says Kim to King magazine (via Page Six). "The women have bigger breasts and bigger butts." (Gulp.) Kardashian says blame it on her genes: "That's how I was born. I'm not gonna fight it."

Party Favors: Ellen Nabs Hillary for Season Premiere ... Crystal Wants Conan's Slot?


She had the first President Clinton on her show, and now Ellen DeGeneres will be getting the (prospective) next President Clinton as she rolls out the first show of her fifth season. Sen. Hillary Clinton will be joining Ellen in New York as she kicks things off in NYC Sept. 4 and Sept. 5, and the funnywoman promises other "big surprises" beyond. ... Speaking of comics and talk shows, could Billy Crystal of all people have been angling for Conan O'Brien's slot once Big Red moves to "The Tonight Show"? Page Six reports that Crystal wants a late-night show, something in the range of, oh, five years at $20 million a year.

46. That lawsuit should be thrown out of court. There is absolutely NO WAY she will win any money. Her attorney has to prove the harm caused to her by Imus' statements and from where I'm sitting there is no harm. He did not name her specifically, so how can she prove it hurt only her? Secondly, the man was fired and fined, so what damage did it to her reputation? give me a break. Just another pathetic individual trying to make a fast buck. I hope when her case is dismissed, Imus turns around and sues her for filing a wrongful lawsuit.

47. To I-man the poster, too bad you're filled with lack of confidence and extreme hate for yourself. People that love themselves, have no time in expressing hate for others. So good luck with your self on that. As for Imus and the lawsuit, I hope she takes him for every thing the settlement gives him. How ironic, he and his wife runs a ranch for kids (which is a huge tax write off), yet he spews such ugly against kids. What's up with that??? Not only does he look dead, he's dead in my book!

48. Kim Kardashian is really pretty and I think she is smart. She seems sweet.
Only thing is , the girl should not have made a sex tape . If you make a sex tape, right after you and your lover view, you detroy it. I do not get her dating BGO (Black Guys ONLY).
If I were pretty, rich, connected like her ,I would take my pick of nice guys...some Black (but good men with money, not an RJ ) and good White guys(rich good guys).

49. Yea, all you Imus fans, the lawsuit IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Further, she's gonna get $um too! Hit 'em in the pocket, racists will think twice before they spew their hatered. Ouch!!

50. i was all for imus apologizing to the rutgers women-i gained alot of respect for them for the way they handled things--but now i think this lawsuit cheapens the whole deal. it seems like all of a sudden it's all about money instead of the respect they earned from everyone--
big mistake

51. KIM KARDASHIAN ---------- STOP TALKING!!! JUST STAND THERE AND BE PRETTY BECAUSE YOUR SPEAKING VOICE AND YOUR FAUX JESSICA RABBIT ON ROID'S MANNERISMS ARE ANNOYING AS ALL HELL!!!!!!!!

I WATCHED YOUR CRIBS EP LAST NIGHT AND I HAD TO MUTE THE TV IN ORDER TO KEEP WATCHING, DID ANYONE ELSE SEE IT AND NOTICE HOW COMPLETELY PHONY HER WHOLE I'M DEAD SEXY ATTITUDE IS? HOW CAN ANYONE STAND TO BE AROUND HER OR IS THAT JUST HER UN-REHEARSED ACT FOR THE CAMERAS?

Posted at 12:51PM on Aug 15th 2007 by Don't talk just stand there and look good

52. Does Don Imus ever have any other expression on his face?

Posted at 12:56PM on Aug 15th 2007 by Kygirll

53. she has to proof that the comment was made specifically at her. Slander is a very hard thing to prove
I am happy he is coming back. I am a big fan
You go Imus!

54. Where is he supposed to be coming back to? He's not coming back to CBS.

Quote:
CBS also announced that former NFL quarterback and CBS Sports broadcaster Boomer Esiason will replace the legendary shock jock at WFAN, along with co-host Craig Carton.

Good riddens! I hated the jerk long before he made those dumb @ss remarks.

55. what is it with all you fans of paris, britney, and lindsey who call everyone that doesn't like her fat? you guys are seriously pathetic. not everyone who doesn't like her is fat. and besides she's not that little herself now. you guys need to grow up

56. All of the guys in that stripper fake rape case should sue jesse and al now for defaming them and using the rutgers follies as a deflection shield for their stupidity. The rutgers broad is in a miff at being alluded to as an unchaste woman........wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bet her cd in her cars has lots of ho words blaring out of it with that rap crap and she just singin` along snappin` her fingers too. Can we spell MONEY HUNGRY?

57. Kia Vaughn is hitting CNN tonight ~ I think with Larry King. Going for her 15 minutes of fame.
As for the POLL Smoker remark - did you google those names?
Never said we didn't care. Just seems strange, he settles his contract dispute and she files a lawsuit... If she was that upset, it should have been filed four months ago.

Posted at 2:07PM on Aug 15th 2007 by just saying...

58. Kim K is right about Armenian women having big boobs & behinds ... I am Armenian myself & trust me, the ladies are big in those areas. The foods they cook are usually in heavy lard & starchy ... everything is homemade. Good food but too heavy for me to handle.

59. This woman suing Don Imus is pathetic. She's making her whole team look bad, greedy and pathetic. It makes you understand why Don Imus was vindicated because his comments were never that bad.

60.
Don Imus does not have the power to make or break anyone, White or Black.

Bill Cosby is a very intelligent Man.
They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English

except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor

with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job making a

decent living. People marched and were hit in the

face with rocks to get an education, and now

we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up
their end in this deal.


These people are not parenting. They are buying
things for kids. $500 sneakers for what ? ?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2 ? ?

Where were you when he was 12 ? ?

Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol ? ?

And where is the father ? ? Or who is his father ?

People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something ? ?

Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?


What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa .

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks, have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer
