Britney Can Really Pick the Winners

lufti_and_britney.jpgBarbara Walters announced this morning on The View that Britney Spears’s manager and sometimes boyfriend Sam Lutfi called her to discuss Britney’s mental-health situation. He reportedly said Britney is receiving treatment for her “mood swings.”

Walters’s co-hosts on The View questioned whether he’s qualified to talk about this. Walters responded:

“I don’t know if anybody is telling the truth or not telling the truth … He has been with her constantly. He seems to be enormously supportive.”

Actually, he seems like a huge jerk who is totally unqualified to talk about mental-health issues. Page Six reported this morning that three people have taken restraining orders against him in California, including his ex-friend Danny Haines, who had this to say about when he cut Lutfi out of his life:

Lutfi humiliated him, e-mailing naked photos of him to his family, friends and co-workers. He texted and called incessantly and, according to court documents, told Haines he hoped his sister would be “raped to death.” Haines says that in one e-mail to him, Lutfi wrote of Haines’ mother that he hoped “Satan devours her flesh and bones” and he looked forward to the day when he would “p— on her burial.”

Btw, Barbara Walters is still a serious journalist.

Save the Whales (Sorry, Cows)

According to the Reliable Source at the Washington Post:

Generation Y finally has its own Jane Fonda, and it is Hayden Panettiere… The bubbly 18-year-old starlet is kickin’ it ’70s style, snagging an arrest warrant for her face-off with Japanese dolphin hunters and raising the roof at a “Save the Whales Again!” rally yesterday in Dupont Circle…

But she really lit up when asked about the incident last fall when she and five other surfboard-riding activists disrupted a Japanese dolphin kill. “It was like ‘Mission: Impossible’! We had masks on… The water was so red with blood… This baby dolphin popped its head up and looked at me…”

No fear of a Fonda-like backlash? “We’re saving magnificent animals. I don’t think anyone objects to that. I don’t trust people who don’t love animals.”

Do you think our favorite lilliputian animal-lover brought her purse? You know, the big leather one she’s selling? Guess animals aren’t worth saving unless they’re “magnificent,” huh?

P.S. It turns out Hayden was wearing a “Save the Whales” sweatshirt and… Ugg boots. (Hint: They’re not made of plants.)

Smoky Spice

posh_marc_jacobs.jpgFrom hottie reader Cassandra, a tip about Victoria Beckham:

The most famous Spice recently teamed up with fashion designer Marc Jacobs for a line of t-shirts to benefit the Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University. The tees feature a naked Posh covered by the words “Protect the Skin You’re In,” and will sell for $35 at Marc Jacobs boutiques to raise money for the skin-cancer charity.

“Since we have moved to California, I have realized how important it is to practice safe sun for myself and to keep the skin of my three boys well protected as well,” Beckham said. “Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc and Robert [Duffy, Jacobs's business partner]’s initiative.”

Never mind that she is always, always tan. It could be fake, but you know what definitely doesn’t so much help your skin? Smoking.

Various reports of her secret habit have cropped up over the years, most recently in an article from October:

MelB asks me if I “mind smoke.” I don’t. She hands a cigarette to Victoria and Geri.

“Don’t tell anyone,” says Mel B. “It’s bad for our image, apparently.”

Battlefield Earth

In response to the Tom Cruise indoctrination video made public recently, a group of anonymous hackers have declared war on Scientology via YouTube.

The techno warriors sound the siren for SPs — or “Suppressive Persons,” those who reject Scientology — to join them and vow to systematically destroy all that the religion cult stands for:

“Your choice of methods, your hypocrisy, and the general artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell.”

As of this morning, the two-minute video has logged more than 1.3 million hits since it was posted a week ago — suggesting the anti-Scientology force really is as legion as it purports to be. (If you’re unsure where you stand in the war, you can brush up here.)

I just hope this is ultimately settled with dance fighting.

Lie of the Tiger

Sylvester Stallone, 61 years young, has admitted he used human growth hormone to get totally jacked for the new Rocky and Rambo movies. (And here I figured it was all push-ups and egg whites!) As he tells Time Magazine, HGH ain’t no thang:

“HGH [human growth hormone] is nothing. Anyone who calls it a steroid is grossly misinformed,” he says. “Testosterone to me is so important for a sense of well-being when you get older. Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it because it increases the quality of your life. Mark my words. In 10 years it will be over the counter.”

What interviewer Joel Stein forgot to ask — or, more likely, didn’t know about because he didn’t do any research because he’s Joel Stein — is how Stallone reconciles this attitude with his apology to an Australian court in May 2007 for importing HGH into the country:

“I made a terrible mistake, not because I was attempting to deceive anyone but I was simply ignorant to your official rules,” Stallone said in a letter to Sydney’s Local Court. “I feel terrible that my breach of the rules has set a poor example to members of the public, whose opinion I cherish dearly.”

This was after he threw four vials of the stuff off the balcony of his hotel room when Australian customs officials came to search it. So he knew their official rules well enough, huh?

According to Stallone’s lawyer, he takes HGH for an unspecified medical condition. Yes, it’s a terrible disease called Still Trying to Play Rocky and Rambo at 60 Syndrome. It’s so rare, there’s only been one recorded case of it.

Well, Stallone pleaded guilty and paid a $3,000 fine, so now he doesn’t have to pretend he’s sorry anymore. When you’re pushed, lyin’s as easy as breathin’…

(Hat tip to Sal Marinello, who also points out another of Stallone’s sins: Selling his own line of nutritional supplements that are supposed to give you a body like his. Yeah, just add HGH!)
