Lets Get This Party Started
Britney Teaching Other People's Tots?

Without kids of her own to dance with, Britney Spears spent yesterday afternoon shakin' it with a bunch of youngsters not too much older than Sean Preston.

The Britwreck, reports Usmagazine.com, got the five-year-olds grooving to the sounds of Madonna -- "Material Girl," in particular -- while clad in fishnet stockings, a short skirt, and her fave brown boots. Apparently, says Millennium Dance Complex owner Robert Baker, she had to introduce herself to the kids.

Britney hasn't seen her own children since January 3.

Wineheezy Slammed by Cole – "Bad Message"


Everyone seemed pretty stoked about Amy Winehouse's big Grammy night -- everyone, that is, except Grammy winner Natalie Cole.

She told People on Sunday night that she thinks Wino's wins send "a bad message" and that "it's not right for her to be able to have her cake and eat it too ... She needs to get herself together." Cole clarified: You don't get to just do your drugs and go onstage and get rewarded." Natalie survived a bout with drugs and alcohol in the early '80s.

Cole, as it happens, won her first Grammy back in 1975 as Best New Artist, as Winehouse did Sunday night.

Party Favors: Scarlett and Ryan – Not Getting Hitched ... Kareem Abdul-Jabblogger? ... Lil' Wayne Drinks Your Absinthe, He Drinks It Up!


Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, despite whispers that they're going to be tying the knot, are very much not, says Usmagazine.com. ... Even though he might not have been very chatty to a TMZ reporter recently, Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will be blogging it up for the L.A. Times, yakking online on pretty much everything from sports to history. ... Lil' Wayne couldn't get clearance to shoot his new video in Las Vegas casinos, but TMZ has learned that Palms and Sacramento Kings owner Gavin Maloof gave the rapper his house to use -- and plenty of Le Tourment Absinthe to drink in the video.

61. Natalie is so right. And #4, you're an idiot. Natalie, fought and won her battle against addiction, Amy on the other hand, is still a crackhead. Judging by your comment, you probably are 2. Good luck.

62. I think Britney is off to a GOOD start as far as trying to help herself. She doesn't sound like a real bad person just a really confused young lady who's life is in a tailspin and she needs to pick herself back up. And try and find the ones that will help her and not take from her. No one knows her family and they don't know anything other than what the press tells them about her. I think we all have had our own demons in life to release at one time or another. So she isn't any worse then the rest of us. The only difference is hers is posted on every world wide magazine every day of her life and National Tv. So I should say I'm not a Britney Spears fan but at the same time I'm not going to post any notes that would hurt her because I don't know her on a personal basis and I do hope that she can straighten everything out in her mind and her finances and her homelife and go on to live a normal life. Think she has given so much in life to other people such as family and friends it's time some of these people give her something back for free. Such as love carrying and understanding and above all patience. Good luck to you Britney my prayers are with you. You have so much going for the good you need to get rid of the bad.

I LIKE NATALIE, BUT SHE IS WRONG HERE. hAS SHE FORGOTTEN HER CRACK HABIT AND HOW SHE GOT A SECOND CHANCE...NATALIE TOO SENT A BAD MESSAGE TO OUR YOUTH WITH HER DRUG USE...NATALIE EVEN WENT INTO PROSTITUTION TO SUPPORT HER HABIT WHEN HER MOTHER WAS AWARDED CONSERVATORSHIP OVER HER FINANCES (ALL THIS IS FROM HER BOOK), SO HOW CAN SHE CRITISIZE SOMEONE ELSE, WHEN SHE HAS HAD THE SECOND CHANCE...AMY WINEHOUSE IS IN REHAB (AS NATALIE ONCE WAS) AND SO FAR IS DOING GOOD. MY QUESTION TO NATALIE IS WHY DON'T YOU CRITISIZE YOURSELF AND LOOK AT YOUR OWN BACKROUND BEFORE OPENING YOUR BIG MOUTH...NATALIE...JUST SHUT UP AND SING! CAUSE YOUR BACKYARD WAS AS DIRTY AS AMY'S. AMY WINEHOUSE HAD THE BEST CD OUT LAST YEAR!

64. Baseball Junkie, you're an idiot too. Britney did not only endanger her children in the vehicle, but also at home and basically the entire time they were in her "care". She was, is, and will continue to be unstable unless she gets the PROPER help. She has no business being around other children and especially her own...for now at least.
And for Sandy Pandy, wtf is wrong with you? I guess it would be ok for a bus driver to transport your kids while on drugs as long as he/she gets them home safely? God why do I even bother with you idiots here on TMZ? You're all crackheads.

65. How LAME of Natalie (milking her dad's memory for all its worth) Cole to act all high and mighty.

It was not a "best role model" award it was a best song/record/album etc award. Who is she the morality police?

all these sour grapes from a woman who would be nobody if it weren't for her dad. At least Amy earned her noms AND awards all on her own!

66. Natalie Cole got famous for covering her fathers songs, it’s called Karaoke, enough said.

67. Since when did the Grammys become an award for good character? I always thought that they were based on sales, and to a lesser extent, talent.

68. Probably dealing...BRIGHT STRIPS!!!

69. No 63, wtf has transporting my kids on a school bus got to do with what we are talking about here? Grammys are awarded to people who contribute to music and not based on moral character or drug or booze addictions! No, I wouldnt want a druggie to be driving my kids but thats not what we are talking about here. We are talking about an ex druggie putting down a current druggie. I am not an idiot actually but you are for calling me one when you dont know me. Maybe we should make a list of all the pothead, crack smoking, boozie artists that have won awards and see how many we can come up with?

70. Uh , if I recall, Brit took one of her kids and locked herself in the bathroom until they busted it down and hauled her off to the looney bin. Who is to say she wouldn't do the same to one of these kids she's "teaching"? There were other people at her home when she did this, no kid is safe around this nutjob.

71. oops sorry 63 i meant 62 :/

72. What a self-righteous, arrogant and bitter old broad Natalie Cole is. Amy Winehouse is struggling with addictions and if anyone could empathize with her, it would have been NC. What a bitter person she turned out to be. I still loved Natalie Cole's singing when she was high on drugs - I even recall her mother had to be her conservator at one time. Now if that comment was the other way around - boy we have to put up with the likes of super hypocritical Al and Jesse. Find your humility Natalie Cole.

73. Is this becoming a new trend in society? Has-been hypocrites like Natalie Cole and Jim Brown criticizing reigning respective stars Winehouse and Tiger Woods. Some of these celebrities grow so arrogant they can never accept the fact that time has passed them by. To balance this perception though for every Natalie Cole there are a hundred celebrities who ride off into the sunset with grace and dignity.

74. Sandy pandy--You have to ignore the less than average intelligence of TMZ posters. When they come on here and start calling others "idiots" and other names, they are just showing their limited mentality. I never will understand how people get so bent out of shape when you disagree with them. To go nuts on a blog tells me what an unstable type of person they are.

75. Natalie Cole stated exactly what I said as Amy was winning all the Grammy's. Natalie Cole should know - she's been there, worked hard and cleaned herself up.

Amy should NOT have been awarded for her behavior this past year.

And her live performance was horrible. I'm wondering if it was the first time she's performed without being wasted.
