Lohan and Rotem Get a Little More Personal

Posted Dec 15th 2007 11:11AM by TMZ Staff

A dolled up Lindsay Lohan dined with Britney's fake impregnator J.R. Rotem last night at Katsuya -- as Lohan is looking to revive her illustrious singing career. The wait is over!


Upon exit, Lindsay covered her face while J.R. helped her into his super awesome Lamborghini -- but she couldn't resist dropping the mask and giving the paps a couple of shots for the road. Cheese!

Britney: 101 Ways to Cause Chaos, Part 1

Posted Oct 6th 2007 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

Fallen pop idol Britney Spears must not have a care in her weaved head, given the way she is traipsing all over L.A.! TMZ caught the popwreck in several different locations yesterday, and each situation offered behavior more strange than the last!


Unfitney was seen shopping on Melrose yesterday, with producer and latest BFF, J.R. Rotem, when a large group of paparazzi began to swarm inside the store. The boutique employees began to chase paps around the store -- literally -- to get them to leave. Brit Brit was then assisted out of the store with the help from two police officers.

TMZ sources say that from there, Britney went to the recording studio for a few hours. But this is only the beginning of her chaotic day... stay tuned!

The Hills Come Out at Night

Posted Jan 12th 2007 12:07PM by TMZ Staff

It was an MTV-star-studded evening at Area last night for the launch party of "The Hills." Lauren "LC" Conrad and her onscreen gals showed up ready to mingle, and get the second season off and kickin'.

Music producer "J.R." Rotem (recently dropped by Britney) had mad love for TMZ calling the site the "classiest" of them all. Could be because we're the only ones who care!

Brody Jenner and Kim Kardashian flashed their pearly whites, followed by Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis and all his oily glory. While NBA star Dennis Rodman seemed a bit overwhelmed by the lights/camera action, Jesse McCartney and Jack Osbourne were unfazed by the attention.

See all of last night's chilly action in today's Star Catcher.

Has Britney Been Replaced?

Posted Dec 18th 2006 10:20AM by TMZ Staff

With the clock already running out on his fifteen minutes of fame, Britney Spears' recent make-out partner, "J.R." Rotem, is making a last-ditch effort to stay in the spotlight ... by lingering with Bai Ling.

The two were spotted trying to sneak out the back entrance of Teddy's nightclub at the Roosevelt Hotel over the weekend, as "J.R." attempted to get his silver Maserati from the valet.

After "J.R." packed the "Lost" actress into his ride, along with a few of his buddies, the group sped off into the night. Britney must be devastated.

Hottest Videos -- Week of 12/10

Posted Dec 16th 2006 12:01PM by TMZ Staff

Yippee! Angelina and Brad are back in America. Brangelina was caught in a rare PDA at the party for "The Good Shepard." Welcome back, gorgeous ones.

Britney's new spit-swapping partner has been added to the TMZ roster of Hyde celebrities. Get ready to see more of this multi-platinum record producer if he keeps locking lips with Brit.

The Weasel is really hurting for publicity, so much so, that according to the Odessa, Texas Police Department, video of him getting punched on stage was a fake. Poor Pauly... that's just sad.

Forget Britney, Rotem's Got TWO New Starlets

Posted Dec 15th 2006 10:00AM by TMZ Staff

Is "J.R." Rotem already over Britney Spears?

After cameras caught the music producer locking lips with the soon-to-be-ex-Mrs. Federline, the two haven't been seen anywhere near each other. Instead, Rotem was chatting it up at hip L.A. eatery Koi last night with "High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale and 17-year-old "Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere. Maybe it was a business meeting. Maybe he was trying to save the cheerleader.

As the group left the restaurant, Rotem turned the photog frenzy into an impromptu press conference, promoting upcoming CDs for the two ladies. The best part -- Rotem saying, "but we're not really trying to use this to promote." Yeah right.

Brit's New Dude is a Reject

Posted Dec 13th 2006 9:46AM by TMZ Staff

Hooking up with Britney Spears doesn't get you as far as it used to.

Two nights after cameras spotted music producer "J.R." Rotem locking lips with the Britster at The Grove, her rumored rebound guy tried to use his newfound star power to get into Hollywood hotspot, Hyde. Sadly for him, but amusing for us, Rotem got denied.

Moments after his reality check, Rotem took the loser walk down to another nightclub, where they welcomed the Gotti look-a-like with open arms.

To Rotem's credit, at least he didn't stand around and pout like another D-lister we know...
