Here are a few pics of the AMAZING looking Britney Spears showing off her bangin’ bikini body poolside at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, NV over the weekend. Brit Brit was joined by a few members of her entourage which included a couple of pretty hawt lookin’ dudes (who might be employees, friends or other) …

… unfortch, a shady person from her past was also spotted in Vegas over the weekend, creepin’ around where Britney was trying to relax, sparking rumors that she and he are still involved:

Just as things looked to be getting better for troubled Britney Spears it appears she has reunited with her badboy former lover Adnan Ghalib. The popstar is taking a break in Las Vegas before before attending the MTV Video Awards later this week. And she has been showing off her newly svelte figure, looking better than ever as she relaxed by the pool in a tiny bikini before heading out in a slim fitting sundress. But also in the city is Birmingham paparazzi Adnan, who has been accused of having ulterior motives by Britney’s father Jamie. The 36-year-old has barely been seen with Britney since she was hospitalised for psychiatric treatment in January. But despite Britney’s father’s staunch disapproval of Adnan, the pop star is understood to have started seeing Adnan again, TMZ.com reported. However sources claim the two haven’t got back together for purely romantic reasons - Britney is apparently terrified Adnan has an explicit video of her, filmed during the couple’s brief trip to Mexico in January. “Britney’s really scared that Adnan has a sex tape,” an insider told MailOnline last month. “She wants to get it out of his hands.” Britney’s father, who is still her legal custodian following a legal order earlier this year is said to have made his dislike of Adnan obvious. “Britney’s father can’t stand Adnan,” said the source. “He thinks he’s seedy, with ulterior motives.”

Uh, yeah … I think he’s seedy, too … I never liked him at all. He seemed hardly much better than that creep Sam Lutfi. I SINCERELY hope that Britney is not secretly seeing Adnan anymore … it would just break my heart to see her undo all of the amazing progress that she’s made in the past few months. I say no, they aren’t together and Adnan is just trying everything he can to get near her … but, I guess we really don’t know. Do any of y’all think she might still be creepin’ around with Ghalib?

Earlier today we saw pics of newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi taking a stroll together along the beach coastline in Malibu, CA this past weekend and I noted that they curiously ran into Gavin Rossdale and his eldest son Kingston James. Here are a few pics of Gav and Kingston playing together in the Malibu surf:

I love it … while Gwen Stefani is home taking care of her newborn baby boy Zuma Rock, Gavin is making sure that Kingston James isn’t feeling neglected or unloved. They make the cutest pair, these two. While I can’t wait for us to get our first glimpse of Zuma Rock, I am very content to see cute pics of Kingston James in the meantime. Gavin makes a kick-ass dad, yes?

Here are a few pics from the UK premiere of Guy Ritchie’s new movie RocknRolla which stars Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton (among others) and which premiered at the Odeon West End in London, England last night:

The way I understand it, the movie involves a bunch of shady folk trying to get their hands on some money put up for grabs by a Russian mobster or some such nonsense. As usual, it sounds like a Ritchie original. I will say this for the man, he really knows how to create interesting characters in his movies. The movies themselves don’t always have the kind of cohesiveness that make them great but they are generally worth seeing … well, except for his movie Swept Away, which starred his wife Madonna. That movie should not be seen by anyone, under any circumstances. And speaking of Madge, I think it was quite sporting of her to take a break from her Sticky & Sweet World Tour to come out for the movie premiere last night. She is such a good wife. Makes you feel kinda silly if you believed any of those break-up rumors, right? RocknRolla opens in theaters in early October.

Daniel Radcliffe, who will be starting previews of his Broadway debut Equus in about a week or so and is world famous for playing the part of Harry Potter, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Details magazine. In his coverstory interview, Daniel confesses to Details that his dream role would have him playing a character in drag, saying: “I think part of me would love to play a drag queen, just because it would be an excuse to wear loads of eye makeup.” Oh really, Daniel? Tell us some more:

There’s only one thing the boy wizard wants now that he’s all grown up—to play a drag queen. It’s a brilliant June day in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. Small white clouds dot the wide arc of midtown sky. Children’s voices mingle with music from a gilded carousel. And, sitting on a green folding chair, as moms pass with strollers and idlers sip iced tea, the world’s most famous English schoolboy is talking dirty. “Stepping out the motherfucking carr, they in awe,” says Daniel Radcliffe. “I’m looking like a starrr, bitch.” He looks up. “How was that?” Bright-eyed and bushy-browed, the British actor is gamely reciting some phrases we’ve come up with to test his American accent, in preparation for becoming a full-time New Yorker when he moves here this fall to star in the Peter Shaffer play Equus. We started with some conversational basics—softened t’s (”Can I get a bottle of water?”), smashed syllables (”Look at the size of that squirrel”)—and are now in the extra-credit section: Lil Wayne lyrics. Radcliffe tries again. “Stepping out the motherfucking carrr, they in awe, I’m looking like a starr, bitch. When you see me make a wish.” Britain’s richest teenager, who will turn 19 in a few weeks, sure does look like a star: knockabout-natty with a choppy brown coif, olive designer tee, navy blazer, and dark skinny jeans—these last are made by Absolut Joy, he says, looking down to check the button on his fly. “And I would like to say that that’s what lurks beneath” … “Whenever I can I want to leave Harry there on the screen,” Radcliffe says. “I don’t want to bring him into my normal life” … Maybe because he’s surrounded by people at least twice his age, Radcliffe tends to date older women. He’s currently single, although he explains that this is primarily due to time constraints. “Most of my friends have been girls, and I see how they are with their boyfriends and I think, I couldn’t do that,” he says. “I just don’t have the time.”

He’s a saucy little scamp, ain’t he? After the jump, check out a short video from Details magazine of Dan in David Bowie make-up talking about his last Details photoshoot (among other things) and a couple pics of the lad making his way into Equus rehearsals on Broadway … (more…)

This past Sunday I posted pics of 24 star Kiefer Sutherland enjoying an afternoon at the beach in Malibu, CA and today we have a few more pics of the man still enjoying his beachtime fun, except this time instead of being wet and wild, he’s just dry and mild:

I must admit that I think I prefer these pics of Kiefer dry better than the pics of Kiefer wet. I know, I know … it totally goes against my theory that people look better/hotter when they are wet but not so in this case, I think. In either case, it looks like he’s having a great time … at least he’s giving us something to keep us entertained while we wait for new eps of 24. What do y’all think … do you prefer your Kiefer wet or dry?

So, I made it back home to SoCal from Detroit safe and sound … another perfect flight without delays or baggage mishaps. I wish I could be totally contented with my travel yesterday except that because it was September 1, I was forced to pay $15 to check a bag of luggage for my flight. I guess most if not all airlines are now charging for every bag you check for flight … which, I think, really sucks. But, what are you gonna do? Before I had to catch my plane, Sarah, Mark and I went out for lunch at BD’s Mongolian BBQ and then snapped one last photo before I had to take off:

I really miss Sarah, Mark, all my Detroit peeps and family already … I can’t wait to get back to see them.

While flying back home yesterday, I was able to finish book 3 of the Twilight series Eclipse:

Even tho I still have a bit of difficulty with some of the hallmarks of this book series (specifically Bella’s weak nature) I am really caught up in the story. I loved the dichotomy that sprung up between the two loves of her life, Edward the vampire and Jacob the werewolf. I can see where the folks who are rooting for Jacob to win Bella’s heart are coming from. I find him much more endearing than Edward. All in all, the books are really an entertaining guilty pleasure for me. I really thought the corny parts of the books would get to me but I really don’t have a problem with them. Sure, I would love the prose to be a bit less … dorky (wack? nerdy? I dunno how exactly to categorize it) but if you just go with it, it’s not really so bad. I get that Stephenie Meyer is creating a world with her novels, the characters are not as “hip” as in other books (no matter how much she tries to “hip” them up with fancy cars, etc.) but they are consistent. You get lost in this world … and I can deffo see the appeal. I’m sold. I began reading Breaking Dawn last night … I’m intrigued where this book will take the story. I can tell by the Table of Contents that Meyer does change things up with this last book. I’m curious to see how it all ends. I’ve read up to the part of Bella and Edward’s honeymoon (which was a bit ridic to picture, I mean sex between those two characters seems so … wrong) and I have no idea where the story goes from there. The marriage seems like a great place to end the story … what could possibly be next? I guess I’ll find out.

In between reading chapters last night, I did watch the season premiere of Gossip Girl … which I enjoyed for the most part. I tried to watch Prison Break but I think I’m finally over that show. I don’t even care anymore. I’m to scratch that one off my DVR record list.
