Spears’ ‘Peeping Tom’ Gets Probation
Published August 21st, 2009 by Karen
A Los Angeles court official has confirmed that a woman found guilty of snooping around Britney Spears’s home has been sentenced to three years of probation and 240 hours of community service, according to an Associated Press report.
Los Angeles Superior Court spokeswoman Patricia Kelly said a judge in Malibu, California, found Miranda Tozier-Robbins guilty of peering into Spears’s house in Calabasas, California. The judge also ordered Tozier-Robbins to stay away from Spears’s property.
Tozier-Robbins was arrested in April, when police deputies caught her peeping into Spears’s windows while wearing camouflage and carrying video equipment. Tozier-Robbins said at the time that she was working on a documentary on the practices of paparazzi and might have sold any footage she got of the pop singer, who wasn’t home at the time.

kamilaJackson Autopsy Results Sealed Pending Manslaughter Investigation
Published August 12th, 2009 by KarenABOVE: Michael Jackson duets with Britney Spears.
The results of Michael Jackson’s autopsy are in, but officials won’t reveal the coroner’s findings while the investigation into the star’s death is still ongoing, according to a report on Rollingstone.com
According to the Web site, Jackson’s toxicology findings are also complete, but will also remained sealed, at the request of the Los Angeles Police Department. There is no word on whether the cause of Jackson’s death will ever be publicly announced.
Law enforcement officers working on Jackson’s death have focused their investigation on Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s personal physician who authorities believed gave the powerful sedative Propofol to the singer within 24 hours of his death on June 25th. An overdose of the sedative could cause a patient to stop breathing, which leads to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the body that could result in sudden cardiac arrest.
In the last few weeks, the police have raided Dr. Murray’s offices in Houston and Las Vegas, searching for evidence of manslaughter.

Published August 10th, 2009 by KarenABOVE: Newly-single Joe Jonas dances to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” while wearing some sort of unitard. Yes, it’s ok to laugh. The Jonas Brothers host the 2009 Teen Choice Awards tonight on Fox.
So, the 2009 Teen Choice Awards were handed out Sunday night, but the TV broadcast of the ceremony doesn’t air until tonight (Monday).
Basically, this means that by the time the show airs, everyone will already know who won/lost. So, if you memorize the winners now, you can amaze your friends with your psychic ability to predict winners during the show. Or not.
Doesn’t this sort of ruin some of the surprise?
Maybe the awards part of the show isn’t as important as the performances?
Anyway, if you’re too impatient to wait for the broadcast this evening, we’ve got the scoop on who took home the night’s big prizes Continue reading »
Britney Spears Boyfriend Faces up to Seven Years in Prison
Published July 12th, 2009 by Karen
When Britney Spears was making headlines for her shaved head, mental health issues and assorted hospitalizations, one of the strangest figures in her life seemed to be her paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib.
While Spears has embarked on a comeback and left Ghalib behind, her infamous ex is making headlines of his own, with Rolling Stone and TMZ reporting that he is facing up to seven years behind bars during his upcoming trial for with felony assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and battery after allegedly attempting to run over a man serving him with legal papers.
Spears isn’t always commended for making good decisions, but leaving this guy behind was a smart move.
FREE MP3 The Fallen “Bury Me Alive” Ex-Evanescence, ex-Idol: New Album, Same Sound
Published June 22nd, 2009 by KarenABOVE: Carly Smithson, AKA, Carly Hennessy, stars in her own very embarrassing homemade infomercial full of horrible pop songs and shallow declarations like, “I always wanted to be famous…Every little girl wants to be a pop star.”
Following their split with singer Amy Lee, the ex-members of Evanescence have teamed up with controversial American Idol cast-off Carly Smithson to form a new band called the Fallen (the name is borrowed from Evanescence’s breakthrough album, Fallen).
In addition to sharing some of Lee’s striking physical traits (jet black hair and light blue eyes), Irish-born Smithson has some experience singing Lee’s songs: She routinely performed “Bring Me to Life” during her time on the American Idol: Idols Live tour.
One of the most controversial contestants to appear on the show in recent seasons, many outraged viewers called for Smithson to be expelled from the Idol competition after it was revealed that she had released a disastrous major label album in 2001 (the album, Ultimate High, was released under the name Carly Hennessy). Skeptical Evanescence fans might want to check out the horrible pop and silly video of Carly’s “I’m Gonna Blow Your Mind.”
Many viewers felt that the show should be a forum for new talent, not industry has-beens. Smithson was eventually eliminated due to low vote totals.
It remains to be seen whether Smithson will be able to win over a rock audience, but based on some of her musical past, it seems that she aspires to be Britney Spears, not Joan Jett.
Smithson and the Fallen are currently offering fans a sneak preview of their forthcoming album in the form of a free download of lead single, “Bury Me Alive.”
Hmm…the title reminds us of Evanescence’s hit “Bring Me to Life.” So far the band name and song title aren’t very original, guess we’ll have to check out the song and see if the music just sounds like an Evanescence cover band.
We’re pretty sure it will.

Camouflaged Woman Spies on Britney Spears
Published April 17th, 2009 by Wendy
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department yesterday arrested a camouflage-wearing, camera-toting woman they say was caught peeking into the windows of Britney Spears’ Calabasas home, according to an AP report. The 26-year-old woman, Miranda Tozier-Robbins, was issued a citation for trespassing and disorderly conduct and released.
The incident occurred hours before Spears was scheduled to perform the first of two shows this week in Los Angeles. The 27-year-old singer’s whereabouts at the time of the episode were unknown and a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department said it was unclear what Tozier-Robbins was up to.
Spears recently moved to Calabasas for privacy’s sake from a hilltop Los Angeles home that was constantly being staked out by paparazzi.
Spears Halts Vancouver Concert Over Pot Smoke
Published April 10th, 2009 by Wendy
Now that she’s out of rehab, Britney Spears is down on abusers. Spears stopped her concert in Vancouver, British Columbia, Wednesday night for thirty minutes until pot smoke had cleared the air, according to an Associated Press report.
According to the AP, Spears’ concert was halted about 15 minutes into her performance, and an announcer told concertgoers to put out their cigarettes. Some audience members grew impatient while waiting for Spears and gang to return to the stage, the AP reported
“Don’t smoke weed,” Spears told the audience when she returned to the stage.
Spears’ publicist, Holly Shakoor, issued a statement apologizing to fans about the delay. The statement said “crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue.”
Eminem Takes Aim at Celebs in New Video
Published April 8th, 2009 by Wendy
Eminem debuted the video for “We Made You,” the first single off his forthcoming album “Relapse” on MTV yesterday, according to a Reuters report.
The video is generating some heat because it takes on our celebrity-obsessed culture, and spoofs such media stars as Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Ellen DeGeneres, not to mention offering a shot at ex VP candidate Sarah Palin.
“When you walked through the door, it was clear to me/ You’re the one they adore, who they came to see/ You’re a rock star, everybody wants you,” goes the track’s chorus over the Dr. Dre-produced beat.
Among other scenes, the video shows John Mayer crooning to a smitten Jennifer Aniston; Tony Romo doing a dirty dance with Simpson, Spock from “Star Trek” and Kevin Federline next to a dancing Britney Spears.
“Relapse” hits the shelves on May 19.
