Full Biography
A pneumatic blonde model and former Playboy playmate, Canadian-American actress Pamela Anderson (a.k.a. Pamela Anderson Lee and Pamela Lee) burst onto the scene in the early 1990’s and defied skeptics by staying there. As star of the international television phenomenon, “Baywatch” (Syndicated, 1989-2001), Anderson cemented her seamless transition from modeling into acting and Page Six cover girl – the latter following her many love life travails with rocker boyfriends-turned-husbands Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. An internet-leaked sex tape with Lee did little to impede this one-woman entertainment juggernaut’s late nineties momentum. After over 15 years of fame, Anderson transcended to the next level of celebrity by becoming something even bigger – namely, a pop culture icon – and all of this without really any substantial credits under her belt. Ironically, this surreal objectification of her as “Superstar Sex Symbol” served as the driving sub-plot of the 2006 comedy “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” Through many years, augmentations and PETA protests, Anderson never failed to fascinate a public, which, not unlike the smitten Borat, viewed the jiggling actress as America’s idealized blonde bombshell.
Born on July 1, 1967 in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada, Pamela Denise Anderson grew up in the scenic city of Vancouver. In a scenario that only a Hollywood writer could devise, Anderson was literally discovered while simply minding her own business at a sporting event – specifically, a British Columbia Lions football game. At halftime, a network camera man, looking to kill a few seconds between quarters, was scanning the crowd, looking for someone to embarrass on the stadium’s giant Jumbo-Tron screen, when he spotted the drop-dead gorgeous 22-year old Anderson in the bleachers, wearing a form fitting Labatt’s Beer t-shirt. Upon seeing her giant image on-screen, the crowd reportedly broke into a collective cheer louder than any ever heard for the B.C. Lions in their 41-year history. That was all Labatt’s Beer needed to know. Within days, the then-brunette received a contract from the beer company, offering her the job of "The Blue Zone Girl" – Labatt Beer’s official spokesmodel. Soon after her discovery, the actress embarked on a career-making decision to get breast implants. In her early 20's, Anderson got her first pair of implants. From there, her cup size continued to swell exponentially for a time, before plateauing at a 36DD. In 1999, however, Anderson decided to downsize her implants to a slightly less cartoonish C-cup. And with that… a superstar was about to be born on both sides of the border.

Moving to Los Angeles in the late 1980’s, Anderson received a warm welcome, to say the least, from her American cousins to the south. Within only months, Anderson was offered an opportunity plenty of young women only dream of – the opportunity to pose for Playboy magazine. Named Miss February of 1990, Anderson’s issue set record sales numbers and brought her to the attention of television producers. Always on the lookout for fresh eye candy, Hollywood hired Anderson to basically just stand and look beautiful, which she did marvelously on such shows as "Married... With Children" (Fox, 1987-1997), "Married People" (ABC, 1990-91) and "Top of the Heap." (Fox, 1991).

But Anderson’s big break was still to come. Cast as Lisa “The Tool Time Girl” on the highly rated Tim Allen sitcom, "Home Improvement” (ABC, 1991-99), Anderson's steamy sensuality stood out on like a beacon as she traded barbs with Allen while clad in a tool belt and short-shorts. In 1993, two years into her “Home Improvement” gig, Anderson received an offer that would forever change her life – a regular role on the syndicated drama, “Baywatch.”

Taking the role proved to be the savviest decision of Anderson’s career. If the starlet’s star was rising before, “Baywatch” sent it into supernova. For five seasons, this Canadian import personified the ultimate California Girl every week in the form of lifeguard C.J. Parker. The show’s undisputed star just below star/executive producer David Hasselhoff, Anderson helped propel “Baywatch” to the top of the ratings and redefined jiggle TV for a whole new generation. By the time Anderson left the show, “Baywatch” had become the most watched television program in the world, seen in 148 countries and translated into 32 different languages. Still, Anderson yearned for new challenges after the show’s 1996-97 season. For obvious reasons, producers desperately wanted Anderson to stay, even offering to renegotiate her contract. But in the end, Anderson knew it was better to leave the dance too early, than too late. And so, in 1997 – after five years of slow-mo rescues and sexy CPR’s – an era was ended. But not completely… Six years after hanging up her red one-piece Speedo, Anderson was talked into returning for a quick cameo in the 2003 made-for-TV movie, “Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.”

Eyeing features as her next logical career step, Anderson parlayed her "Baywatch" success into starring roles in two straight-to-video thrillers, "Snapdragon" (1993) and "Raw Justice" (1994). Her big-screen debut, however, did not arrive until a few years later, when she signed on to star in the big-budget action feature, "Barb Wire" (1996). Based on a popular graphic novel of the same name, Anderson played the film’s titular heroine – a tattooed, rubber-clad mercenary who took no prisoners and looked good doing it. Unfortunately, as lethal as her character was, the reviews on “Barb Wire” were even worse. The futuristic comic-book adventure quickly died at the box office.

Returning to the smaller pond of television, Anderson found another acting job and second niche as an executive producer on her next series, the tongue-in-cheek actioner, “V.I.P” (Syndicated, 1998-2002). In it, Anderson played Vallery Irons, a small-town girl who becomes famous after saving the life of an actor – and so thus, naturally, opens her own security firm. In any event… critics naturally loathed it, but Anderson’s fans watched religiously anyway.

Despite less than stellar acting gigs, Anderson’s name stayed front and center in the press, thanks to her high-profile personal life. After being romantically linked throughout the nineties with a string of bad-boy celebs – including blonde-loving lothario Scott Baio, “Baywatch” co-star David Charvet, Poison front man Bret Michaels, and pro surfer Kelly Slater, among others – Anderson finally settled down with Tommy Lee, drummer for the heavy metal band, Motley Crue, after an exceptionally brief flirtation. The couple wed on a beach in Mexico on Feb. 19. 1995 – the bride in a white bikini; the groom shirtless in shorts. Confounding fans who gave it two months tops, the couple’s wild union would produce two children – Brandon Thomas in 1996 and Dylan Jagger in 1997.

Anderson’s marriage to Lee did not come without its share of PR nightmares, however. Wherever the couple went, paparazzi were in hot pursuit, resulting in more than one altercation between Lee and shutterbugs outside of clubs. In June of 1996, word leaked that a homemade pornographic videotape starring Anderson and Lee had been obtained. The video – which was reportedly stolen by a contractor who was renovating their home – allegedly also included footage of Anderson and Lee’s bizarre quickie beachside wedding ceremony. When the tape surfaced for sale on the internet, Anderson and Lee quickly moved to block its distribution, but it was already too late. The damage was done – though, some would argue, it only enhanced her reputation as a sexpot. Anderson and Lee filed a $90 million copyright-infringement suit against the Internet Entertainment Group (IEG), the company which distributed the video, to claim a share of the profits of their purloined video. Following appeals, Anderson and Lee were awarded $1.5 million, plus legal fees.

In 1998, Lee was arrested following a domestic dispute at their home in Malibu, in which Anderson accused her husband of kicking her in the back while she held their son. She was offered to be taken to the hospital, but declined. After pleading no contest to kicking Anderson, Lee was sentenced to four months in prison. While he was serving his sentence, the couple officially divorced. Over the years, Anderson and Lee reconciled a number of times (most recently in late 1999), but it never seemed to work out, though after much post-divorce rancor, the two finally called a truce for their children’s sakes. The two would even become friends again in a few years.

As the 21st century dawned, Anderson remained more relevant than ever. In addition to launching her own line of shoes, clothing, and pet accessory products, Anderson became an outspoken champion for animal rights. A celebrity spokesperson for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Anderson gained newfound respect among animal lovers the world over by volunteering her time and money to such charitable causes as the Canadian Seal protection fund and the PETA boycott of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) over their allegedly cruel practices farming their chickens. She also frequently lent her image – including a famous semi-nude pose with the tagline "I'd Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur" – to the cause.

In March of 2002, Anderson surprised the world by publicly revealing that she’d been diagnosed with Hepatitis C – an incurable viral disease that affects the liver. How Anderson came to be infected was unclear; but the popular belief was that it most likely resulted from sharing tattoo needles with her husband. For the record, Lee publicly denied ever having the disease and took Anderson to task in the press for what he insisted was a lie on her part. In an October 2003 appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show, Anderson jokingly estimated that she did not expect to live more than 10 to 15 years – a statement which was misconstrued by the tabloids as true.

With her divorce behind her and "V.I.P." coming to an end, Anderson announced she was taking a year off to focus on her health and to also spend more time with her children. Even so, Anderson stayed in the public eye by writing a regular column for Jane magazine. She also teamed up with Marvel Comics legend Stan “The Man" Lee to create the animated series "Stripperella" (Spike, 2003), about a campy super-heroine based on Anderson’s own likeness. The actress provided the voice of Stripperella, as well as her alter ego, the demure Erotica Jones. Ads for the sexy comic touted the memorable catchphrase: “Exotic dancer by night, and superhero by… later that night."

In 2005, Anderson made her much-anticipated return to television as the star of the wink-wink titled Fox comedy, "Stacked" (Fox, 2005 -06). This time, Anderson played Skyler Dayton, a blond bombshell who works at a book store – hence, the double-entendre title. The subject of an intense bidding war between ABC, NBC, and Fox, “Stacked” premiered to strong ratings, but slipped dramatically as the series went on. In January of 2006, Fox finally slammed the book on “Stacked” eight episodes into its second season.

Despite the disappointment of her cancelled series, Anderson continued to make appearances on screen. In the 2006 mockumentary, “Borat,” she played a crucial role as the object of Kazakhstani journalist Borat Sagdiyev’s affections (played by British funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen.) Though Anderson, herself, actually appeared only briefly in an end cameo, much of the film’s loose plot centered on the tactless foreign journalist’s quest to find and meet the sex symbol. Throughout the film's promotion, studio publicists laughably maintained that Anderson (like everyone else in the movie,) was simply an unwitting dupe of the filmmakers. This claim, however, seemed incredibly unlikely, given that Anderson was “kidnapped” on-camera for the film’s denouement. She would later admit to being in on the joke.

On a personal note, the actress was flying high as well when on July 18, 2006, she married her longtime on-again, off-again fiancée, Detroit rocker, Kid Rock, in Saint-Tropez. The couple also held additional wedding ceremonies in the U.S. However, barely four months later – and only weeks after a sad miscarriage announcement – in November, Anderson surprised the public by applying for an annulment. Both camps went back and forth as to why – Anderson's camp claiming Rock was incensed at her appearance in "Borat;" Rock's camp insisting it was due to Anderson's partying ways. Regardless of the reasons, the couple insisted they would make the split amicable for the sake of the the children.

Full Biography

A bubbly, blonde pop music sensation who built a fan base with a girl-next-door sweetness, catchy tunes, flashy dance moves and a magnetic sexual appeal, Britney Spears went from a small-town Louisiana girl to the veritable heir to Madonna's media saturation crown, beginning with the release of her first single in 1998 and holding fast well into the next millennium – and much like Madonna, the attention quickly shifted away from her artistry and focused squarely on her personal dramas. Starting in 2004, a much mocked marriage to back-up dancer, Kevin Federline, the birth of two babies in quick succession, and a seemingly self-imposed exile from the music industry kept her name in the forefront – though mainly as a gossip curiosity piece.
Born Dec. 2, 1981 in the rural Louisiana town of Kentwood to parents Jamie and Lynne Spears, the young girl started training for her future superstar status as a small child. A skilled dancer and gymnast – as well as a capable singer – Spears had the determination and stamina to get to the top, starting her career in the entertainment industry early – too early, in fact – for producers of the revamped "The Mickey Mouse Club" (The Disney Channel, 1989-1994). Producers of the star-making kiddie show turned down the talented youngster because of her age when she first auditioned in 1990. Mindful of her potential, Spears was hooked up with an agent and temporarily moved with her mother and baby sister to New York City the following year. Here, she starred in the off-Broadway production, "Ruthless," a stage comedy loosely based on "The Bad Seed." Playing the evil but seemingly angelic child was an enjoyable role for the 10-year-old Spears, who next wowed judges with her debut performance on the televised talent competition, "Star Search" (CBS, 1983-2004) in 1992. A year later, she was finally welcomed into the cast of the "Mickey Mouse Club," becoming a part of an elite cast that included future TV star Keri Russell as well as fellow teen pop luminaries Justin Timberlake and J.C. Chasez of *NSYNC and Christina Aguilera. As part of the ensemble, she could do all the dancing, acting and singing her heart desired, but unfortunately, the show ended its run in the midst of only her second season.

When "MMC" called it a day in 1994, the young star-in-the-making returned to Louisiana and attended a private junior/senior high school in nearby McComb, MS, but missed the excitement of the entertainment world. In 1997, she signed with Jive Records, beginning a partnership that would make Spears a household name. In 1998, she toured the malls of America a la teen pop star Tiffany did a decade earlier, getting her bouncy, blonde image into the minds of the people while, at the same time, getting her promo tape into their stereos. Her debut single "...Baby One More Time" was a smash hit in the last days of 1998, thanks, in part, to the provocative schoolgirl uniform-sporting music video that accompanied the catchy and oddly edgy tune. While the fresh-faced teen sensation improbably crooned "My loneliness is killing me," audiences of all ages were transfixed – from middle-aged men creepily fixating on the singer's short plaid kilt and midriff-baring blouse, to seven-year-old girls hopping around the playground, strangely pleading "Hit me baby, one more time." Spears' debut album went multi-platinum while her single stayed at the top of the charts in the first months of 1999. Upping her visibility, Spears' controversial Rolling Stone cover (clad only in a bra and hot pants, surrounded by stuffed animals while talking on the phone) had parent groups up in arms when the overtly sexy image hit stands in April – nearly eight months before the star's 18th birthday. Meanwhile, Spears and her inner circle began a long-standing policy of sending mixed messages, proclaiming the star's commitment to Southern, church-going values and remaining a virgin until she married.

Appearances on a myriad of specials and awards shows and a guest stint on the ABC sitcom "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (ABC/WB, 1996-2003) helped keep her in the minds and hearts of the public in between record releases. When her follow-up effort, Oops!... I Did It Again dropped in 2000, her audience welcomed it with open wallets. Another round of multi-platinum sales were made, and the video for the lead-off title track won the performer more kudos, proving her dance talents with an eye-catching routine in a fetching red vinyl catsuit. When Spears appeared at that year’s “MTV Video Music Awards,” tearing off a man's tuxedo to reveal a flesh colored body suit, her sexy image was solidified. Indeed, it became central to her routinely controversial image, with fans and media debating over lurid topics such as whether or not the young star had received breast implants. Spears' sex appeal was tempered for her more family value-minded fans by her sweet and seemingly chaste relationship with longtime boyfriend (and former Mouseketeer) Justin Timberlake – by then, the lead singer of the hugely popular boy band *NSYNC, which shared the same musical management as Spears. Expressing herself, showing her versatility and growing up in the public eye while losing very few of her original preteen fans, the singer seemed poised to stand the test of time.

Though potential roles in the TV series "Dawson's Creek" (WB, 1998-2003) and the feature "Scary Movie" (2000) came to naught – reportedly due to her busy schedule – new projects with Spears' name attached sprung up frequently. Rumors of her co-starring with hot Latin singer Ricky Martin in a sequel to the 1987 hit musical, "Dirty Dancing," were not realized, but the singer/dancer made another major impression on TV viewers. Following a second erotically charged performance on the 2001 “MTV Music Video Awards,” during which she undulated in a barely-there harem outfit to her new song "I'm a Slave for U" while an albino python wrapped around her neck, viewers of both sexes were blown away yet again by her brazen “barely legal” performance. Britney-mania continued with her saucy performance in the HBO live concert, "Britney Spears: Live in Las Vegas" (2001) – a production that demonstrated her adult sex appeal as much as it did her propensity to lip-synch. Not satisfied with just conquering the music market, Spears tried her hand at publishing, co-authoring with her mother the autobiographical tome Britney Spears' Heart to Heart (2000) and the novel A Mother's Gift (2001) – the latter of which was turned into the ABC Family Channel telepic, "Brave New Girl" (2004), which Spears and her mother co-executive produced.

After much build-up, at last the young diva made her big-screen acting debut – with a healthy dash of the more proven skill, singing – in "Crossroads" (2002). Directed by Tamra Davis, the critically panned flick focused on three childhood friends on a road trip of self-discovery. Neither the mawkish film nor Spears' candy-coated, “aw-shucks” performance were exactly Oscar material, but it did appeal to a certain audience of die-hard Spears fans – namely the preteen and teen female and occasional smitten male. A blight on an otherwise world-conquering 2002 – including opening her own New York restaurant NYLA (which became a spectacular failure) and continuing to tour around the globe –was Spears’ very public break-up with Timberlake, amid sordid rumors of infidelity on her part. On the defensive, Timberlake rather ungentlemanly confirmed to much feigned shock that he and Spears had, indeed, put an end to her much-discussed virginity (as well as latter outing her as the cheater in his future solo hit single and video, “Cry Me a River”). Amidst all the professional solo triumphs and personal set-backs, she found time for a brief cameo in the comedy hit, "Austin Powers: Goldmember" and to record songs for a variety of film soundtracks.

By 2003-04, the media saturation of Spears and her fellow teeny-bopper idols (including Aguilera, Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC) resulted in the beginnings of the inevitable backlash, with the singer making news more for her personal escapades than professional activities. In a move many saw as desperate for all parties involved, Spears made headlines when, during an appearance on the 2003 “MTV Music Video Awards,” she opened the show in a musical sequence opposite her idol Madonna and her reported rival Aguilera, in which she shared a lip-lock with the Material Girl. That was followed by the release of her fourth album, In the Zone, in which the singer further pushed provocative boundaries in an obvious attempt to establish herself as a grown-up artist and to capitalize on her always buzzed-about sexpot charms. The album received a critical drubbing in most quarters and did not entirely live up to commercial expectations. The disc still provided hit singles, including the ubiquitous dance floor favorite "Toxic" and its controversial, overtly sexy music video, which was briefly relegated to late-night-only airings on MTV. Oddly, during the promotional period for the album, Spears appeared in many increasingly provocative, skin-baring photographs, including a recreation of a 1960s-era Angie Dickinson shot with her bare bottom peaking out of a strategically stretched sweater for the cover of Esquire, yet she claimed in interviews she did not approve the shots, still trying to project – albeit, unconvincingly at this point – an innocent, girl-next-door persona.

The wild child beneath the surface was bubbling over into her public persona, with the mainstream and tabloid press endlessly chronicling every juicy aspect of her behavior – which allegedly included late night partying and hook-ups with celebrity lotharios Fred Durst and Colin Farrell. The dam seemingly broke loose in January of 2004, when the singer shocked fans with a surprise marriage to her childhood friend Jason Alexander in an apparently booze-fueled New Year's Eve wedding in Las Vegas – something she called "a joke that had gone too far." The marriage was annulled within 55 hours (with a lucrative pay-off to Alexander), but that did not stop Spears' shocking second rush to the altar later that same year – this time to seemingly gold-digging back-up dancer, Kevin Federline. This union was not without its controversy either, as at the start of their romance, Federline was an expectant father involved in a relationship with actress Shar Jackson – who had already bore him one child not long before. Their engagement was announced in June, with plans for a fall 2004 wedding. Somewhere between romances, Spears continued to self-promote with faux-revelatory documentary specials on MTV, ABC and E! networks, and she performed a surprisingly uninspired live version of her universally panned Onyx Hotel tour for the HBO special "Britney Spears: Live in Miami" (2004). The blonde idol pulled out of the final leg of her poorly received tour after injuring her knee in June of that year, requiring surgery and four months of recuperation (she also admitted that her head "really wasn't into" the tour).

As a newly married woman in September of 2004, Spears increasingly found herself the subject of snarky bloggers and tabloid magazines. Much of it she brought on herself, as she was constantly photographed leaving gas station bathrooms barefoot and chowing down on Cheetos while cruising around town in a number of luxury vehicles. Worse yet, she often looking disheveled and messy coming in and out of seemingly every fast food restaurant in the greater Los Angeles area. And interestingly enough to the public – she seemed not to care what people thought of her or her new husband. This was most apparent when Spears and Federline sold home movies taken during their courtship to UPN, resulting in the May, 2005 premiere of their reality show, "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic" – complete with the questionable catchphrase: “Can you handle our truth?” By this time, it seemed the answer was no – and that no one cared to. Critics were less than kind, to say the least. In fact, the show made the couple an even bigger laughing stock than before, what with the constant stream of nonsensical baby-talk, mugging close-ups and uncomfortable pawing of one another. But Spears seemed happy – especially after giving birth to her first child, Sean Preston in September, 2005.

Not long after her son’s birth, however, Spears found that the media had zeroed in on something more sensitive than her fashion sense or choice in men – her mothering skills. In a quick succession of scandalous incidents, starting in early 2006, Spears was photographed driving with her infant son on her lap; with her infant son in the wrong car seat, facing the wrong way in a convertible – and finally – tripping on a NYC street, almost dropping the baby, while teetering on heels and trying to hold onto a glass of water. The public lambasting of Spears as bad mom was at an all time high that spring – enough that by the third incident in New York, some celebrity first-time mothers and organizations stuck up for her, especially after video footage shot through a restaurant window hit the internet, clearly showing Spears clinging to her baby and crying after the tripping incident.

By the fall, the public scorn seemed to shift and redirect toward Federline – especially after he was spotted all over L.A. and Vegas, partying with cronies, while his wife, now pregnant with their second son was M.I.A. When a bedraggled Spears was forced to do damage control by sobbing to Matt Lauer on a notorious “Dateline NBC” interview in June, fans began counting down the days until Spears come to her senses and left the man they considered the ruin of the old Britney. The week the wannabe rapper released his first album, Playing with Fire – to a unanimous and expected critical beatdown – the public got its wish. On Nov. 7, Spears filed for divorce from Federline, citing “irreconcilable differences” and asking for physical and legal custody of one-year-old Sean and two-month-old Jayden, but for Federline to receive reasonable visitation rights. Spears gave the date of separation as the day before – the same day she flaunted her revamped post-pregnancy physique during a surprise appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman” (CBS, 1993- ).

Following her divorce announcement, Spears made news of a different kind. Free from her troubled marriage, the singer began a seemingly non-stop series of nights-on-the-town – first, with fellow party girl, Paris Hilton, then by herself or with new friends. When Spears was shot on three different occasions getting out of cars sans underwear, she became the toast of celebrity blogs and late night comics the world over – many of whom seemingly relished Spears' new out-of-control lifestyle. Her parenting again was called into question, as everyone – including her estranged husband, who was now, looking more and more the stable parent – wondered who was at home, minding the boys while Spears hit the club scene. Her partying ways continued into the new year, along with rumors of lesbian behavior dropped by her brief boyfriend, model Isaac Cohen, who spilled the beans to the press of her supposed sexual appetites. During the months of nighttime cavorting, Spears changed her hair color repeatedly – and after a one-day stint in rehab for undisclosed reasons – shaved it off altogether, leaving fans in shock at her radical appearance.

The weekend after photos of a bald Spears hit the media, the troubled star checked herself into rehab for another one-day stint, only to take off with no explanation. Only days later, after an alleged confrontation with Federline, who reportedly threatened to take the boys away if she did not reenter rehab, Spears once again entered Promises Malibu, her mother Lynne driving her back again. Things went from bad to worse once Spears was released on March 20. Allegedly feeling her family and manager had turned against her by forcing her to seek help that she did not believe she needed, she began cutting people out – including even her mother, whom Spears reportedly believed was siding with her soon-to-be ex-husband in his quest for custody. Things went from bad to worse once Spears was released from Promises on March 20. Allegedly feeling her family and manager had turned against her by forcing her to seek help that she did not believe she needed, she began cutting people out – including even her mother, whom Spears reportedly believed was siding with her soon-to-be ex-husband in his quest for custody.

In a summer of seemingly one train wreck after another, Spears started appearing in the press wearing a variety of hats with wig attached, attacking a photographer with an umbrella, spontaneously frolicking in the ocean in her underwear, making out with a college-age extra while skinny-dipping in a hotel pool and hitting clubs left and right – all while Federline began lining up witnesses for his custody fight – including issuing subpoenas covertly to many in his ex's inner circle, including assistants, nannies and her long-time manager, Larry Rudolph. After a disastrous photo shoot with OK magazine in August – during which Spears reportedly seemed "out of it," went to the bathroom with the door open, wiped her greasy fingers on expensive frocks and then took off with some of the pricey wardrobe provided without even finishing the interview or shoot – things seemed to be reaching a boiling point for the girl who had cut out everyone in her life who cared for her. When the singer was announced as the opening act of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, public interest ran high – could she pull it off? Performing her first single off her first studio album in some time, "Gimme More," Spears bombed so spectacularly – that even she appeared to realize it, giving up mid-song. Her lip-synching was off, her dance moves lethargic and she even stumbled a bit just walking through her routine. It did not help matters that she was poured into a sequined bikini that was not flattering to her figure. Critics wasted no time slamming the singer, who reportedly left the stage in tears, for not only phoning it in, but for partying in Vegas non-stop in the days leading up to the anticipated performance.

If Britney-watchers thought that things could not get worse for the former pop princess, they were wrong. Only weeks after the VMA disaster, a judge ordered Spears to surrender custody of her two children to her ex-husband, ruling that Federline would take custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James only two days after said ruling “until further order of the court.” The order stemmed from an unspecified oral motion made by Federline’s attorneys and was handled in a closed-door hearing. The judge’s order did not state the reason for the change in custody and all transcripts of the proceedings were ordered sealed. However, that did not prevent many in even the mainstream "respectable" media from taking a stab at what moved the process from court-ordered parenting classes and drug/alcohol testing to losing physical custody only days after the previous rulings that still allowed for 50/50 custody. Some suggested it was because she had recently been photographed driving with the children in the backseat, sans a valid California driver's license; others guessed it might be a failed drug/alcohol test. Whatever the reasons, the ruling surprised many with its abruptness. Spears responded by chirping happily to paps who followed her to her tanning salon, but not long after, her long-estranged mother and her little sister arrived from Kentwood. After missing her first scheduled visit, it was announced that the judge was suspending her visitation rights only two weeks after the original ruling. The reason given: Spears had failed to comply with the judges orders; the specificity of which, was not given, leading to further speculation.

Spears remained relatively quiet throughout the rest of 2007, following the court’s Oct. 1 custody ruling. But she was back in the news in a big way on Jan. 3, 2008, when, following a scheduled visit, she refused to turn over Sean Preston and Jayden James to Federline’s bodyguard. The bodyguard arrived at her Beverly Hills home at 7 p.m. to pick up the children, but Spears failed to relinquish them; a violation of her visitation rights. Police arrived on the scene around 8:30 after receiving a call about a “custodial dispute,” followed shortly by Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Soon, news helicopters, paparazzi and an ambulance were also on the scene – Spears allegedly locked herself in a bathroom with Jayden and refused to come out. Eventually, the fire department and a mental evaluator arrived, and her two children were finally whisked away and delivered to Federline around 11 p.m. Spears was detained by police, who said she was allegedly “under the influence of an unknown substance,” before being sent by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she remained for 72 hours under a 5150 hold – an involuntary confinement administered when a person has been deemed a danger to themselves or others as the result of a mental disorder.

After making news in mid-January for failing to report to a child custody hearing, Spears was seen again leaving her home in an ambulance during the wee-hours of the night on Jan. 31, 2008. Apparently, the singer had not slept for several days, prompting her psychologist – who felt her condition had deteriorated – to call in police and have her brought to UCLA Medical Center on a “mental evaluation hold.” She was again placed on a 5150, with the possibility of an additional 14-day hold looming over her. In the meantime, her parents petitioned the court to take over her health and finances in conservatorship, as well as start the restraining order process to keep Spears’ sketchy “manager” Sam Lufti away from their daughter. In little more than a day and a half, Jamie Spears and a lawyer were granted conservatorship and Lufti was indeed looked at by the courts as a threat to Spears. A restraining order was issued after Lynne Spears terrifying declaration was leaked to the press – including allegations of Lufti drugging her daughter, cutting her phone lines, allowing paparazzi in her house and hiding her dog to upset her. No sooner had Spears 14-day hold been announced, then the singer was released quietly from the hospital for outpatient care – supposedly for a bipolar disorder.

Happy valentine's Day 14

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, or gifting candy. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The mid-nineteenth century Valentine's Day trade was a harbinger of further commercialized holidays in the United States to follow. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.



Valentine's Day and its equivalents in other cultures
In the West
Valentine's Day also has regional traditions in the UK. In Norfolk a character called 'Jack' Valentine knocks on the rear door of houses leaving sweets and presents for children. Although he was leaving treats, many children were scared of this mystical person.

In Wales many people celebrate Dydd Santes Dwynwen (St Dwynwen's Day) on 25 January instead of or as well as St Valentine's Day. The day commemorates St Dwynwen, the patron saint of Welsh lovers.

In France, a traditionally Catholic country, Valentine's Day is known simply as "Saint Valentin", and is celebrated in much the same way as other western countries.

In Denmark & Norway Valentine's Day (14 Feb) is known as Valentinsdag. It is not celebrated to a large extent, but a lot people take time to eat a romantic dinner with their partner, to send a card to a secret love or give a red rose to their loved one. In Sweden it is called Alla hjärtans dag ("All Hearts' Day") and was launched in the 1960s by the flower industry's commercial interests, and due to influence of American culture. It is not an official holiday, but its celebration is recognized and sales of cosmetics and flowers for this holiday are only bested by those for Mother's Day.

In Finland, Valentine's Day is called Ystävänpäivä which translates into "Friend's day". As the name says, this day is more about remembering all your friends, not only your loved ones.

In Slovenia, a proverb says that "St Valentine brings the keys of roots," so on February 14, plants and flowers start to grow. Valentine's Day has been celebrated as the day when the first works in the vineyards and on the fields commence. It is also said that birds propose to each other or marry on that day. Nevertheless, it has only recently been celebrated as the day of love. The day of love is traditionally 12 March, the Saint Gregory's day. Another proverb says "Valentin - prvi spomladin" ("Valentine — first saint of spring"), as in some places (especially White Carniola) Saint Valentine marks the beginning of spring.

In Romania, the traditional holiday for lovers is Dragobete, which is celebrated on February 24. It is named after a character from Romanian folklore who was supposed to be the son of Baba Dochia. Part of his name is the word drag ("dear"), which can also be found in the word dragoste ("love"). In recent years, Romania has also started celebrating Valentine's Day, despite already having Dragobete as a traditional holiday. This has drawn backlash from many groups, reputable persons and institutions but also nationalist organizations like Noua Dreaptǎ, who condemn Valentine's Day for being superficial, commercialist and imported Western kitsch.

In Turkey, Valentine's Day is called Sevgililer Günü which translates into "Sweethearts' Day".

According to Jewish tradition the 15th day of the month of Av - Tu B'Av (usually late August) is the festival of love. In ancient times girls would wear white dresses and dance in the vineyards, where the boys would be waiting for them (Mishna Taanith end of Chapter 4). In modern Israeli culture this is a popular day to pronounce love, propose marriage and give gifts like cards or flowers.

In the Americas

In Brazil, the Dia dos Namorados (lit. "Day of the enamored", or "Boyfriend's/Girlfriend's Day") is celebrated on June 12, when couples exchange gifts, chocolates, cards and flower bouquets. This day was chosen probably because it is the day before the Saint Anthony's day, known there as the marriage saint, when many single women perform popular rituals, called simpatias, in order to find a good husband or a boyfriend.

In Colombia, the Día del amor y la amistad (lit. "Love and Friendship Day") is celebrated on the third Friday and Saturday in September, because of commercial issues. In this country the Amigo secreto ("Secret friend") tradition is quite popular, which consists of randomly assigning to each participant a recipient who is to be given an anonymous gift (similar to the Christmas tradition of Secret Santa).


In Asia
Thanks to a concentrated marketing effort, Valentine's Day has emerged in Japan and Korea as a day on which women, and less commonly men, give candy, chocolate or flowers. It has become an obligation for many women to give chocolates to all male co-workers. In Japan this is known as giri-choko (義理チョコ), from the words giri ("obligation") and choko, ("chocolate"). This contrasts with honmei-choko (本命チョコ); chocolate given to a loved one. Friends, especially girls, may exchange chocolate referred to as tomo-choko (友チョコ); from tomo meaning "friend".

By a further marketing effort, a reciprocal day called White Day has emerged. On March 14, men are expected to return the favour to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine's Day. Originally, the return gift was supposed to be white chocolate or marshmallows; hence "White Day". However, lingerie and jewelry have become common gifts.

In South Korea, there is also Pepero Day, celebrated on November 11, when young couples give each other romantic gifts. There is an additional day for single people, Black Day, celebrated on April 14.

In Chinese culture, there is a counterpart to Valentine's Day, called "The Night of Sevens" (七夕); according to legend the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid meet in Heaven on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. A slightly different version of this day is celebrated in Japan as Tanabata, on July 7th of the solar calendar.


In Western Asia
In Persian culture (Iran) Sepandarmazgan is a day for love, which is on 29 Bahman in the jalali solar calendar. The corresponding date in the Gregorian calendar is 17 February. Sepandarmazgan were held in the Great Persian Empire in the 20th century BC hundreds of years before its acknowledgement by western world.

This day is currently celebrated in Iran despite some restrictions made by government, and young Persian boys and girls may be seen on this day going out and buying gifts and celebrating.

How Android will change the mobile world

In 2007 we had great announcements on the mobile phone field. First with Apple releasing the Iphone, then OpenMoko with the Neo 1973 and finally Google with a new open source platform called Android.

From all the facts stated above, Android is the one shaking the open source community and also all the communication market. First let me explain how all this Google’s OS thing started. Back in July 2005, Google acquired Android Inc a small company located in Palo Alto which created applications for mobile phones. From that day, speculations about Google getting in the mobile arena started. However nothing was done about Android until late 2007 and the question is, why it took so long for Google do something about it.

The BBC spread rumours that the giant Internet Search Company initially wanted to reinforce their online applications aiming mobiles like Google Maps and Google Calendar, and were trying hard to deliver that.

Now if you stop to think about it, this makes a lot of sense as most of these mobile applications released by Google will cover all the needs and with little detail- they are free.
Google My Location will be replacing the GPS, cutting those extra costs that people pay to have this service. Gmail is free and Outlook will be no longer necessary.

Despite that, Google set a $10 million challenge which developers from the whole world will help to create new applications for the OS.
These are not the only changes that Android is bringing to the table. Now consumers will also be affected by the new OS; as it can be fitted to any device, the research to buy a new handset might be harder than before, when we used to have specific handsets like BlackBerry, Palm and Iphone. Also Android is leading consumers to a Smartphone evolution, which for old users can be a dramatic change.
In addition Google is attempting to bid on the 700MHz auction that will be vacated by analog TV in 2009. The rumours are about Google getting cheap calls for mobiles or even free internet access.

So how is Android affecting the other telecom providers? Well major mobile voice and data carriers in the U.S. have pledged to open their networks to outside handsets and applications. Carriers including AT&T and Verizon are already opening their network for outside handsets, however it is uncertain if this will cost more for consumers- And I’m not even talking about the Voip communication. One application that will come with Android is Gtalk which allows the user to make calls using internet protocol (IP) in case of mobile phone the WiFi would be used to do such thing, which could cause free phone calls.

These changes are pretty good on one hand as we will have more options as consumers, however we could face lack of support coming from telecoms as it would be more expensive to train personnel in different applications and OS.
Nobody knows if Android is coming to be a good thing for mobile companies and consumers, or if it’s just Google’s Achilles’ heel like Steve Job quoted. What we know so far is that it is creating a good expectation.

ROMANTIC ON 2008 VALENTINE’S DAY?

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY 2008!

For Valentine’s Day, this face-reading expert has studied the character features on the faces of Hollywood stars to find out: Are they romantic or not? If you want to find the perfect, romantic partner, your Valentine, you should read this. Keep in mind, love is blind and marriage is an eye opener.

Are you looking for a romantic man in all the wrong places? The secret to find one could be the nose on somebody’s face, or the groove between the nose and the mouth. The Chinese believe that the face provides the answers to your most important questions about personality, internal gifts as well as sex life, popularity, and life expectancy. Who is romantic in Hollywood? Let’s find out if your partner has these same features in his face.

Antonio Banderas. His full lips and eyes reveal that he is one of the most romantic men in Hollywood. His mouth also reveals that this Spanish-born actor has a nice personality. That makes spouse Melanie Griffith indeed one lucky lady! Oh, Antonio says love is the only game not called off because of darkness.

Brad Pitt. No wonder Brad Pitt has been selected many times as the sexiest actor in Hollywood! Chinese face readers agree with this claim completely. His lips are meant for kissing, eyes are full of romantic inner energy, and the cheekbones and jaw line show a pleasant disposition. Brad’s the one the ancient Chinese had in mind when they said a caress to a young girl is faith—to a married woman, hope—to an old woman, charity.

Johnny Depp. Many women agree he is irresistible. Especially his eyes. The eyes represent intelligence, creativeness and vitality. The ideal eyes are large, full and well set with the space of one eye-width between the eyes. Johnny’s eyes say my lips want to kiss your lips then take the scenic trip.

Mick Jagger. According to the Chinese face reading, almost everything on his face is associated with romance and sexual activity. He has large a mouth with full lips, high cheekbones, protruding ears and deep laugh lines. But watch out for Mike’s right hand—that’s the one that went to Night School.
