After amassing nearly 40 music videos in her career thus far, Britney Spears opened up to MTV about the ups and downs of shooting her latest effort titled “Till the World Ends.”
The pop icon is no doubt the queen of uber-popular music videos, but as fun as shooting one can be, it’s also a lot of work. Brit told, “The set was a little much. It was grimy and gross and it felt like there was poop everywhere when there wasn’t,” the 29-year-old recalled. “It was sweat and it was disgusting sometimes … [I] tough it out.”
Another sticking point during the shoot was the discomfort in which Spears felt while dancing around in heels. “It hurts … but it looks good,” she said, adding that sometimes she changes into Uggs, “It wasn’t a full-length shot, so a girl’s about comfort when it’s not showing.”
At the end of the day, the video was a more positive experience than not. “It was a lot of fun. I had never worked with Ray Kay before. I was really happy with the work we did.”
Making the most of his time across the pond, Justin Bieber attended the unveiling of his new waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London, England today (March 15).
The “Baby” singer looked enthusiastic as he gave his wax likeness a once-over while fans and photographers snapped up pictures.
As for Justin’s girlfriend Selena Gomez, it seems she’s been having a hard time dealing with derogatory comments made about their relationship by Bieber fans.
The “Wizards of Waverly Place” babe told David Letterman, “It’s hard. It hurts, it really does. I don’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong. I’ve been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it. I have a strong family and great fans.”
She’s one of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood, but Vanessa Hudgens has insecurities just like the rest of us.
Back in her teens, the “Sucker Punch” starlet was constantly critical of her legs. She told FOX Pop Tarts, “I grew up dancing a lot, so I was self-conscious of what I would call my ‘tree trunk legs’ because they are very muscular.”
“When you are dancing a lot every day you become very muscular and I did not appreciate that at the time, but now I’ve learned to love them.”
Vanessa also had some weight issues when she was younger. “I used to go to Cold Stone Creamery, get a tub of Butterfinger ice cream, and eat it all before bedtime. And my fingers were permanently stained orange from Cheetos.”
Stepping out to pay her respects, Jessica Alba was spotted arriving at a funeral in Inglewood, CA on Tuesday (March 15).

Miss Alba added, “Having the belly grow is fun and exciting.”
Below are pictures of Jessica Alba at a funeral in Inglewood (March 15).
Leaving her New York City apartment earlier today (March 15), Mary Kate Olsen made yet another fashion statement with her unique choice of outfit.
The 24-year-old blonde turned heads as she wandered out into the Big Apple wearing a cheetah print hat, round black glasses, a brown scarf and an over-sized black jacket.
Clearly on the cutting edge when it comes to fashion, it come ass no surprise that Mary-Kate’s new rumored beau is a shoe designer named Seth Campbell, according to US Magazine.
A source close to the pair told Us, “Their relationship is fairly new. They’ve been able to have a few dates on the down low. He’s a downtown kind of guy, likes to party every now and then.”
MK split from boyfriend Nate Lowman last winter after two years of dating, but things seem to be going well with Campbell, who is said to be adjusting to the spotlight that comes with dating an Olsen twin.

The 35-year-old told KIIS FM radio host Ryan Seacrest that he and Posh are both elated about the news – but hadn’t expected it after doctors told them to expect another son.
Becks told Seacrest, “It’s something we obviously hoped for, but obviously when you have a baby, [the biggest concern is] it’s healthy and everything’s good with the mom. But when you have three boys, you just kind of assume you’re going to have another one.”
The LA Galaxy hunk also talked about his future in soccer in light of his Galaxy contract having a quickly approaching expiration date. He told, “I haven’t thought about what I’m going to do – whether or not I’m going to continue to play, which I think I will because I think I can still play at the top level. I still love the game as I did when I was 21-years-old, so there’s no reason to stop yet.”

Christina added, “You can judge people based on the way they look. I love that fact we get to sit here with our backs turned away from these people and completely use just one sense to hear these voices. I’m not looking for vocal acrobatics, who has biggest range high and low. I’m looking forward to getting moved.”

Having been the subject of rocky romance rumors over the past few months, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have ended their relationship.
The “Social Network” star and his now ex-girlfriend actress confirmed reports of the parting – calling the split “mutual” after having first started dating in 2007.
In a joint statement, reps for the couple told: “Addressing the media speculation regarding Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s relationship, we are confirming that they mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other.”
Of the Timberlake/Biel breakup, an insider echoed the same sentiments by telling People magazine, “There are no hard feelings. It was completely mutual and they both decided it was time to move on.”
In Hall Pass, gonzo directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly channel current comedy king Judd Apatow’s brand of post-modern humor and infuse it with their own crude style to tell the debaucherous tale of suburban husbands seeking wild sex adventures after their wives give them a week off of marriage. Obnoxious characters in absurd situations are abundant in this standard “man-child must mature” movie, but the brothers failed to find the key ingredient at the center of all of Apatow’s cinematic concoctions: the heart and soul that carries the story and balances its tone.
The 40-Year Old Virgin had Andy Stitzer’s innocence and sincerity. Knocked Up had the unlikely but adorable romance between Ben and Alison. Even Funny People had the burgeoning friendship between fan and idol as an emotional anchor. There’s nothing of the sort in Hall Pass, because its protagonists don’t show much affection or empathy toward anyone until the hasty conclusion suggests the would-be bachelors have learned their lesson. This fabricated moral climax is merely an afterthought to the jokes and gags that drive the movie, but at least there are enough laughs to help you forget about its lack of structure or substance.
And that’s a sad thing because the film inherently questions some of the unspoken laws of marriage, a significant narrative path worthy of further exploration. Why can’t Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) look at an attractive woman without offending their wives? Because as it turns out, the ladies are incredibly insecure and actually initiate their husband’s extra-marital fantasies by ignoring their sexual needs. When the tables are turned and both Grace (Christina Applegate) and Maggie (Jenna Fischer) find themselves in risqué situations that test their own loyalty, we witness an interesting gender-reversal that underscores some fundamental truths about the differences between men and women. If Mike Nichols or Woody Allen would’ve made this movie, these plot points would have been in sharp focus, but Hall Pass isn’t cultural commentary; it’s a Farrelley Bros. film.
That means you’re in store for all kinds of gross-out gags, from a pair of poop-puns to a close-up on a pair of penises (I kid you not). The writers-directors are relentless in making their audiences squirm in their seats, whether it’s because of an awkward circumstance or a depraved act. It’s not the raunchiest romp I’ve ever seen on film, but it certainly aspires to be.

She had one heck of a 30th birthday, but Paris Hilton has fallen victim to a cake theft.
During the hotel heiress’ birthday bash in Hollywood, a party crasher that goes by the name “Paz” snuck into the fete and swiped the starlet’s $3200 cake.
Not too concerned with getting caught, “Paz” then bragged about the escapade on his Facebook page, writing, “I crashed Paris Hilton’s Birthday Party and Accidentally Stole the Whole Cake.”
After being convinced by a pal to crash the party, he later wrote, “I woke up this morning with a birthday cake in my living room,” wrote Paz. “It’s big. It’s red. It says ‘Paris’. And its f***ing delicious.”
The disappointed CEO of Viridian Spirits, which made the cake with Lucid absinthe, told press, “We had the cake designed especially for Paris with Lucid in the batter and a beautiful representation of Lucid’s artwork on it, which she had requested to meet the Moulin Rouge theme of the party.”
