According to a Brit snitch: "Britney wants to go from trashy to classy. It's going to be an uphill battle. She's still a country girl at heart."

Ain't that the truth.

The Spice Girls are reuniting, yadda yadda.... But who's the fetish model who's wandered into shot? Someone should get the slag a rabies shot. I love how they're all going to have a private jet each, and David will be with Victoria all the time so there's no chance of him cheating this time. Bet he's gutted.

Reports in America are suggesting that Lindsay Lohan had alcohol and cocaine in her system when she crashed her car on 26 May, and police are not denying the claim. The actress, who is currently completing an extended stay in Promises rehabilitation centre, crashed her Mercedes convertible in Beverly Hills and had to be taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Sources are now saying that the toxicology reports prove she had "nearly twice the legal limit" of alcohol in her system, as well as cocaine. LA cops also found a "useable amount" of the drug in the car.  Lindsay's lawyer, Blair Berk, would only say, "It's highly inappropriate for me to discuss a pending case. It is extremely unprofessional for law enforcement to do it."

"[My dress] is inspired by Swan Lake. You'll be seeing a swan. And you'll be inspired. My coach saw it and started feeding bread to it."

Paris Hilton is due to be released from jail tomorrow, after serving 24 days for violating her probation by driving with a suspended license. Crowded jail conditions and good behaviour reportedly contributed to the decision to cut her sentence from 45 days. Medical issues saw Paris briefly released from jail after just a couple of days inside, but accusations of preferential treatment led to her being dramatically summoned to court, and from there back to jail. Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, who wanted Hilton to complete her sentence at home, said the Simple Life star was being treated like a "criminal justice football".

Last week, Paris had a bit of a goss with the E! Online folk, who she told: "I'm so much more grateful for everything that I have, even just to have a pillow at night or food. You know my gratitude has gone up so much and I just realize that the media used me to make fun of and be mean about it. Frankly [I'm] sick of it and I want to use my fame in a good way.

"I am behind glass and I want to give my dad a big hug and they won't even let me do that. That's how the rules are, you have to be behind glass. I'm not a criminal, I'm not dangerous, so it makes me feel like that. It's hard but I'm stronger everyday.

 "I just can't wait to see my family and have a nice meal and be in my own bed and appreciate all the things I took for granted and never really thought much about."

She also confirmed that she suffers from claustrophobia and was having severe panic attacks when she first entered the jail.

Britney is reportedly joining '80s legend Cyndi Lauper on her True Colours concert tour. Two months after completing her own mini comeback tour, the troubled pop princess will be joining the likes of Debbie Harry, Erasure and Cyndi on stage on 30 June in Los Angeles. According to her choreographer, Misha Gabriel, Britney has been auditioning male backup dancers to join her act. The hopeful candidates went through their moves to the sound of Brit's as yet unreleased single, which one described as: "Dope. It reminded me of that one song you hear at 1:50 a.m., when they call last call at a club, and it's the hottest, nastiest song you've ever heard in your life and you've just got to put your drink down and dance to it." Yeah, whatever.

Lindsay Lohan's friends are cruel. They just goad the poor bastard with bowls of drugs to do something crazy they can laugh about. It's obvious that in this photo, our Lindsay is so high she's suffering a kind of blindness but they drag her on just for the craic.

The [now depo/arted] Theirry Henry throwin' some hoops with Gisele in promotion of something-or-other that I won't name here. It's on posh old Regent Street though. She kicked he ass.

Yah, todally! Zara Phillips plus rugby player boyf Mike Tindall at Royal Ascot Ladies' Day.
