Britney Spears may be focusing on her career these days - but it's worth remembering that nothing makes her happier than her babies! Here's a classic shot of Britney and her Jayden in sunnier days - before the custody battle, before the conservatorship, before all that drama. Doesn't she look happy to be spending time with her firstborn? (Then again, who wouldn't be happy to be photographed with a cutie like Jayden?) Keep your head up, Britney - you may have given up custody over your boys for now, but in your lawyer's words, there's no such thing as a permanent custody order! Will the pop princess ever get full custody again? We sure hope so - there's nothing we love to see more than a happy Britney!

Some of the housemates think there will be a double eviction tonight. Darnell - who is facing the public vote along with Mohamed and Rebecca - kicked off the discussion when he asked some of the other 'Big Brother' contestants if they thought new people might enter the house tonight. No-one thought it was a possibility, prompting Darnell to add: "Unless two leave."

Kim Kardashian addressed the rumors that she'll appear on the next season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars. Hopefully, the stage is being reinforced using NASA technology, or a bunch of "celebrities" that time forgot will meet an untimely doom. People reports:

“I don't know where that's coming from, I can't really comment on that,” the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star told Ryan Seacrest during a call-in Thursday to his KIIS-FM show. Still, Kardashian admitted she “would be honored if they asked me.”
While Kardashian confessed she doesn't know her way around a ballroom dancefloor, she joked, “I can get down in a club.”

Anyone get the feeling Kim Kardashian is about to dump Reggie Bush for Gumby? Don't worry, it'll come to you. In the meantime, Kim can definitely get down in a club alright. A club sandwich! HA CHA CHA CH- I'm going to pour steaming hot coffee on my face.

It is official, friends. Brenda Walsh is back!

The CW has confirmed that Shannen Doherty has joined the cast of the new 90210, reprising her role as BW for a multi-episode arc.

WOOOO-HOOOO!

“Shannen is looking forward to returning to 90210,” her rep told People.com.

So what's Bren been up to? Well, she's apparently become a famous actress/director who spends her time between LA and London, and heads back to West Bev to direct a high school musical!

Brenda and Jennie Garth's Kelly will, no doubt, cross paths, as Kelly is now the school's guidance counselor. There had better be at least one Dylan reference in each of Shannen's episodes. Are you listening CW?

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck enjoy a day playing on the swings at Jonathan Beach Club in Santa Monica, Calif., on Tuesday afternoon.

While pushing Violet on the swings, Jennifer let everybody get a good look at her belly!

Earlier in the day, Jennifer and Violet visited the Children's Art Studio in Brentwood.

Miley Cyrus wants a boyfriend. The Disney princess, who has been linked to Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers, told the "Today" show she's "lookin'" for a boyfriend. "It is hard when you are hanging out with guys, even guys that are just your friends," the 15-year-old star said. But she's quick to remind everyone she's not growing up too fast -- the "Hannah Montana" phenom still gets in trouble with her parents sometimes. "The worst is cell phones getting taken away," she said. "It's the worst!"

Uh-oh—don't let that crying kid on YouTube see this, lest we prepare for a tsunami of waterworks that could very well short-out the entire internet: None of the surviving Golden Girls showed up to Estelle Getty's funeral. Not even her own daughter. Inside Edition tracked down two of the three to find out where they were:

Bea Arthur, who played Estelle Getty's daughter on the show, tells INSIDE EDITION she's been grieving for years over Getty's long decline due to dementia, and could not deal with the emotion of a funeral.

Arthur: “She's been out of it so many years, not recognizing anyone. It's a Godsend. She's at peace.”

Rue McClanahan, Getty's former Golden Girls co-star who is living in New York, tells INSIDE EDITION that she couldn't attend the funeral because she recently had surgery.

McClanahan: “I'd like them to know that I didn't {attend the funeral} because I can't fly right now with knee surgery. I don't know why Betty and Bea didn't go, maybe because they, too, have said their goodbyes to her when she was alive.”

For those keeping track, that leaves the whereabout of dotty Rose Nylund—aka Bette White—unaccounted for, but once she's gotten a hold of, we're certain she'll have a delightful story about an ancient Viking funeral custom carried over into modern St. Olaf culture that requires you to skip your fellow warrior's funeral in favor of a cat-neutering rally in the Valley.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said the U.S. Federal Communications Commission "arbitrarily and capriciously departed from its prior policy" that exempted fleeting broadcast material from actionable indecency violations.

"Moreover, the FCC cannot impose liability on CBS for the acts of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, independent contractors hired for the limited purposes of the Halftime Show..," wrote Chief Judge Anthony Scirica for the three-judge panel that heard the case.

Based on the award winning novel of the same name by Jonathan Trigell, Jack (Andrew Garfield) is released from prison at the age of 24, having been institutionalized for most of his life after he and another boy murdered a child, when they were themselves children.

Here is Zac Efron doing his best “Really, I’m Not Gay” by motorboating “girlfriend” Vanessa Hudgens for the camera. It sure looks heterosexual, but let’s remember it’s Zac Efron we’re talking about here. You could just as easily pretend that Vanessa’s rack was some beefy dude’s ass crack and the salt water running [...]

Madonna has sparked fears her turbulent personal life is taking its toll on her health. The '4 Minutes' singer - who is currently rehearsing for her forthcoming world tour - has reportedly fired two dancers, while her tour manager is allegedly threatening to quit due to her "spectacular mood" swings. Madonna has been rocked by claims her marriage to Guy Ritchie is on the rocks and by allegations she is having an affair with baseball star Alex Rodriguez. Her brother Christopher released a tell-all book about her last week, which is said to have devastated her A source close to the singer revealed to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable. "She's down physically and mentally. The situation with Guy is very, very tense. The way everyone is going crazy with the A-Rod story, her brother's book and her physical exhaustion are all taking their toll. "She feels nobody has taken her side. One of her closest pals says she has never seen Madonna so low. She has been feeling down and looking really gaunt." As Madonna struggles to cope with the stress, she has been diagnosed as anaemic and the usually super-fit star has suffered a knee injury. Following her knee injury, doctors have ordered the 49-year-old to take a break and she is reportedly staying with close friend Gwyneth Paltrow at the Hamptons resort in New York. Medics have advised she lessens the strain of her dance routines when she does return to rehearsals. The source added: "Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings. "She has a blood analysis done every few days - including one during last week's rehearsal in front of everyone."

Taking a break from her various filming duties, Audrina Patridge was spotted having a relaxing dinner out at the uber-trendy Ivy restaurant.

The “Hills” babe looked to be thoroughly enjoying herself following her three-hour meal as she walked toward the parking lot, swarmed by paparazzi.

Jennifer Aniston has put the baby talk on hold for John Mayer, according to one tabloid. The 39-year-old beauty doesn't want to "freak out" her moody rocker beau, says Life & Style. The twosome, who have been dating since early summer, are also reportedly planning their future together -- and even thinking about moving in. When asked about the romance, John told USA Today, "All I can tell you is that I have made every decision in my life with complete authenticity. My feet are firmly on the ground. If you do things from the heart, it feels awesome."

There are a few things we are able to gather from the latest trailer for The Hills‘ fourth season: First of all, a lot of the drama has been kept under wraps this time around, meaning the cast is getting better at keeping their mouths shut or the public has simply lost interest. Also, the [...]

We forwarded Matthew McConaughey's people your favorite suggestions of Bongo Romcom and Miller Chill, but it seems he chose to go the Old Timey Gold Prospector route, and named his son Levi Alves. The OK! magazine exclusive currently gracing Gelson's checkout aisles and 7-Eleven service counters reportedly netted McConaughey $3 million; paired with the earnings from his Beef Guild spots, this additional income allows the actor the freedom to pursue smaller passion projects like Surfer, Dude. Flanked on the cover by girlfriend Camila Alves and tiny, perfect Levi, McConaughey still manages to maintain sultry eye-contact with the camera, as if to say, "Yeah, I'm a dad. But I'm not dead. Catch my drift? Is anyone else's shirt chaffing them? Boy, I could sure go for a lobster roll. Is there a clam shack in the area?" McConaughey explained to the magazine how the delivery room was transformed into an flip-flop-devouring bongo-vortex:

"We found a great rhythm," Matthew tells OK! about the delivery of baby Levi. "Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music."

"We ended up having an epidural because, on the large contractions, the umbilical cord was being compressed. They went in and tried the vacuum. This is where I learned — and no one tells you this — but having a baby is a bloody, pukey, sweaty, primeval thing! And I mean that as a beautiful thing. It is wild. But the vacuum didn't work, and the doctor said, 'C-section.'

"I said, 'Come here, little man. I saw the pecker and screamed that we'd been right all along about him being a boy. Then I brought him over to her [Camila],' Matthew said.

You'd think for $3 mil, they'd have forked over a couple shots of the beaming, shirtless new father, chest heaving and drenched in a variety of bodily fluids as he held aloft his bepeckered Prince Simba to the strains of "Drum Circle of Life." Oh well. We'll take what we can get.
