She may not know it but her sordid past could have something to do with her behaviour now. Britney Spears was marketed as a well-adjusted and wholesome pop star but lawyer Eric Ervin, who worked with her when she was a teen, told US Weekly that it was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

The old Britney: Not that innocent?

In the same issue, the mag also revealed that Britney's paternal grandmother suffered from depression and killed herself when she was 31. Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, was a young teen at the time. Plus, two of Britney's uncles have criminal records.

The new Britney: Anything goes!

If you watched the American Music Awards last night (or the repeat this afternoon), you would have seen Joe Jonas falling down when the Jonas Brothers got on stage.

Show of hands, please, if you think Keira Knightley looks anorexic. Say she’s anorexic and the Pirates Of The Caribbean star will sue you for discrediting her. Keira recently said she has no regrets about her decision to sue the Daily Mail after the British newspaper suggested she was anorexic.

The paper printed photos of a stick-thin Keira in a bikini and implied her frame had inspired a teenager, who had died from anorexia. Keira was appalled by the article, sued the newspaper and was awarded a settlement. She insists it was necessary for her to get tough. Keira explains, “It could potentially have ruined my career because if I had been anorexic, there is no way I would have been able to do a lot of the action movies that I do. People wouldn’t have hired me. When things are written that are trying to ruin my career, as that one (story) was, I obviously have to take that very seriously.”

Huh? I'm a style icon? Really?

I must say, I don't normally think of Natalie Portman as a style icon but yes, it has happened. Nat has been named No. 1 on the InStyle magazine’s new style list. Nat topped the list because “she exhibits unwavering faith in the cut and quality of a great dress.”

The Top 10 is: 

1. Natalie Portman
2. Drew Barrymore
3. Cameron Diaz
4. Penelope Cruz
5. Jennifer Lopez
6. Anne Hathaway
7. Cate Blanchett
8. Sienna Miller
9. Helen Mirren
10. Joy Bryant

Now I can proudly call you my woman!

Just when I was wondering, “Whatever happened to Sarah Michelle Gellar?”, I spotted this news on her. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star has finally taken on hubby Freddie Prinze Jr.’s surname – five years after they wed!

Sarah has changed her famous three-part name as her wedding anniversary present to her actor hubby. A source tells Us Weekly magazine, “She officially changed her name to Sarah Michelle Prinze in honour of the occasion. On their anniversary, she showed (Freddie) her new driver’s license. It was so sweet.”

It looks like Jessica Simpson has given up on boys and now she’s out to get herself a real man. Well, at least that’s what she said on US talk show, The View.

She said: “I want a man. I need somebody who's a really great family guy. Like, if a kid were to come up to him and tug on his shirt, he'd pick him up and twirl him around. I definitely love a family man, a guy who’s not afraid to pick up the babies. Somebody who wants to meet my grandparents immediately. I think all those characteristics are what make a man attractive. I think, mentally, I need a guy who can really have a strong, confident woman. If he has a cute butt, that’s all right too.”

Honey, we’re all looking for that guy!

Let’s see you try to arrest me! (photo: Reuters)

Remember we told you about Hayden Panettiere and her bid to save the dolphins in Japan? Well, the girl is now a wanted criminal.

An arrest warrant has been issue in Japan for Hayden and six others who went into the water during the kill. The warrant states they were violating international commerce. In a statement to Access Hollywood about the matter, Hayden said, “Obviously this issue has generated a defensive behaviour on the part of both the Japanese authorities and the fishermen. I have grown up hearing - and adhering to - this phrase: ‘condemnation without investigation dooms one to everlasting ignorance.’”

The statement continues, “We must unite as a world to solve our increasing international environmental crises. We can no longer hide behind out-dated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet’s resources and the extinction of our species.”

Is Hayden worried she might be jailed, not at all she tells E! News. In fact, she says she might just return to try to save more dolphins!

Way to go girl!

Who wouldn’t want me for a mummy? (Photo: Reuters)

If you’re a big fan of Celine Dion, you had better catch the diva in action soon cause she says after she’s done with her upcoming tour, she’s settling down to become a mummy.

The 39-year-old French Canadian singer said she’s ready to have another child with her manager/husband, Rene Angelil. The couple has a son, Rene Charles, but Celine says, “I’m planning to get pregnant again. I’m crazy for it. I want more kids, lots more.” She says she regrets starting a family so late in life, “If I could start my whole life again, I would not be a singer. I would make children, lots of children!”

The multi-millionaire sure can afford it. In fact, Celine and Rene are building a mansion in Florida where Celine says she wants to settle down and raise a family.

This is a personal message from Hugh Hefner to Britney Spears: If and when, at any time, if you're interested (in getting naked for Playboy), I'm interested.

The Playboy mogul expressed his personal interest in Britney over Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show, quelling rumours that he has taken a "thanks, but no thanks" attitude towards the tarty pop star when she offered to strip for his sexy mag recently.

So what say you, Brit? We know you want it....
