I’ll be in Atlantic City as part of a personal experiment to see if money+booze+gambling+more money= fun/regret. So unless every other person in this hotel decide to stop sucking up all my bandwidth, I won’t be able to post too much… We’ll be back to full posting power February 3rd.
No, that’s not Britney Spears!
Blender admits it right up front — the shot is a composite to go with an article called “The Road to Ruin” (out February 12).
Writer Michael Joseph Gross spent a month interviewing sources and hanging with paparazzi to get an idea of the world according to the pop star. “Britney Spears has lost her kids, her fans, her underwear and her mind,” reads the cover line.
He adds that the Britney chase is “like a video game,” and the star “seems to be basking, and she seems to be trapped.”
Steve Lunt, the A&R executive who steered Britney for most of her career, is baffled by her now. “It’s very upsetting to see what’s going on in her life,” he says in the piece. “She was always driven and focused. The most quietly, deceptively ambitious person you could meet. But when you lose your focus, it’s very hard to refocus.”
“She got chewed up by this new celebrity culture and spat out, so it’s hard not to feel some sympathy for her,” says VH1 exec Michael Hirschorn.

Smallville’s Loise Lane goes topless for Tecin-Rebel’s March 2008 issue to prove she’s not afraid strip down for any role. Inside the magazine Erica discusses her movie House of the Dead and how easy it was for her to go naked for the first time on film.
Erica on her nude scene:
“It was difficult because it’s something I haven’t done before, but I’ve found that getting to other places emotionally in other projects has been harder. I was working on a show once where I had to play a character who was needy and whimsical, which was very different from my personality. That was more embarrassing because you really have to be vulnerable with your inner thoughts, whereas nudity is just about your body. It’s easier to shut yourself off outside then reveal your inner thoughts.”
Erica on her love scenes:“think it’s a little strange, especially if you haven’t really met the other actor before, and you just go to work immediately and hope your breath doesn’t stink. It was a very clinical thing for me, and it was for my co-star as well. I’ve never done a really in-depth love scene”

Police arrested and charged a teenager Tuesday night at Nashville International Airport. Investigators said he planned to hijack a commercial airliner.
The 16-year-old boarded a plane in California bound for Nashville.
Airport police said he smuggled handcuffs and other dangerous items on board.
Airport police in Nashville learned of a possible threat on an incoming flight. “Our police unit is in constant communication,” said airport spokeswoman Emily Richard. “We partner with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) who does all the security screenings here. Of course, the airlines give us heads up as well.”
A tip led guards to arrest a teenage runaway from a Los Angeles flight.
Investigators said he somehow smuggled handcuffs, rope and tape onto the plane. He also had a copy of the flight plan and schedules.
Investigators said he planned to hijack the plane and order the pilots to divert the course from Nashville to Lafayette, La. The teenager wanted to crash the airliner into a Hannah Montana concert.
Sources told NewsChannel 5 the teen didn’t have a chance. He was confronted on the plane and held until it landed. “There’s no way he could pull it off,” said Kyle Bartlett. “Why even try?”
“Sounds like a desperate cry for attention,” said Tracey Gray, another airport visitor. “Handcuffs and duct tape are not going to get you where you want to go.”
The teenager was taken to the Davidson County juvenile detention center where he was charged with felony terrorism. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved.
Richard said airport police are trained to “take things seriously, to investigate, to follow-up, to ensure passengers are safe when they travel in and out of our airport.” Airport police reacted quickly. The suspect did not have a weapon, but he did have handcuffs and a plan to hijack the plane.
The tip to police likely came from his parents. He supposedly used his mother’s credit card to buy the airline ticket. Sources said he may have made similar threats to do something like this in the past.
The suspect got the date wrong for the concert. It takes place Friday night instead of earlier this week.
