Another Rehab Romance for Britney?
It looks like Britney Spears sparked up another romance while in rehab – this time with musician Howie Day.
The newly detoxed Spears met Day while at Promises, and according to Life & Style (via MSNBC), "fell hard" for the troubled singer-songwriter while in the facility, so hard that she's bringing him to a family wedding in June. Britney "just lights up" when she talks about Day and apparently thinks he's "the best kisser ever."
Still, Mama Lynne Spears isn't so stoked about Brit's new paramour because of his troubled past – he's been arrested -- once for locking a fan in his tour bus bathroom and another time for verbally abusing a flight crew while he was drunk.
Tabs Turn on Angelina
Angelina Jolie's cozy relationship with one celeb magazine is getting her a roasting by the other Jolie-deprived celeb glossies, Page Six is reporting. According to sources, Us Weekly, Star and the rest are "so fed up with getting scooped by People," they've gone after Jolie and Brad Pitt "with a vengeance."
One of the tabs reports that Jolie has a "twisted double life," and another alleges that she leaves her kids at a day care center instead of with her four nannies – and amongst other special arrangements, that no cell phones are allowed in the center because Angelina's afraid that pictures of the kids will be taken (because they're not already photographed all the time?). Angie's rep says, "I wish people would leave them alone. They're trying to do something good." And even though Page Six suggests Jolie share pictures of her next kid – supposedly a child from Chad – TMZ has been told that no adoption is in the works.
Joe Francis Ordered Back into Jail
"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis has been ordered by a Florida judge to turn himself in and start serving jail time for contempt of court. According to the News-Herald of Panama City, Fla., Judge Richard Smoak has demanded that Francis report to the feds by noon Thursday and sit in the clink. Francis was supposed to settle up with seven underage girls who said they were "victimized" by Francis and his cameras, but when he didn't negotiate in good faith last weekend with the other party, he was hit by the judge for contempt. "He may have snookered us and gotten out Saturday," said Smoak, "but he's coming back.

Good Boy Charlotte
It seems that Joel Madden has learned a tip for dealing with the paps -- that saying "please" actually works better than brute force.
As Joel left swanky Mr. Chow with girlfriend Nicole Richie, his actions were a marked change from the last time the pair left the swanky joint, when a snarky Madden pushed his way out, causing one female photographer to file a "crime report" claiming that he injured her after shoving her into a car.
But no more Mr. Nasty Guy for Jo-Jo! This time, the Good Charlotte frontman excused his way through the crowd of paparazzi waiting to photograph him with Wrong-Way Richie, saying "please" a total of six times! Richie seemed to get a kick out of her boyfriend's overt politeness and can be seen laughing as she is escorted to a car.

Lance's Ladies Look Alike
Lance Armstrong has a thing for svelte ash blondes!
The seven-time Tour de France champ was married for five years to Kristin Richard (upper left), and had some fun with rocker Sheryl Crow (upper right), and has recently been spotted hanging out with fashion designer Tory Burch (lower left), who all just happen to bear a striking resemblence to each other and to another highlighted hetero...
If Kristin, Sheryl and Tory bulked up, fried in the sun for two weeks, went on a year-long bender and shaved every smidgen of body hair, they'd be a dead ringer for Armstrong's workout buddy, the shirtless wonder himself, Matthew McConaughey (lower right)!
Instead of recycling his blondes, Lance might want to listen to Ms. Crow: "A change would do you good!" Livestrong!

Britney's New Dude: 'We're Growing Very Close'
Britney Spears' newest rumored boyflavor of the month, Jason Filyaw, admits that he and Brit have been "growing very close" since their "special" relationship began, and even used the L-word to descibe his feelings for her.
In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Filyaw, self-described as "very spiritual," would neither confirm nor deny that he is dating Spears, but admitted, "I love her, I support her 100% and we are close." Filyaw, who's been attending AA meetings with Spears, also revealed that he is helping Britney with the spiritually "deep" part of her recovery.
The 33-year-old lead guitarist for the rock band RIVA says he met Spears long before she checked into Promises Rehab Center, and that they go "way back" to 2003, when he recorded some music with Britney at The Hit Factory in New York. Filyaw claims they stayed in touch, but "a few weeks ago ... we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."
Ah, spring.
