Sex Suit |
hecklerspray reports: Picture in your mind
what Britney Spears and Kevin Federline look like when they are having
sex. Britney's doing that hip-thrust thing, maybe Kevin has especially
composed an erotic rap. All very sexy.
Or not. Earlier in the year, US Weekly
magazine published a story about a leaked Britney Spears sex tape which
was so staggeringly unsexy that Britney's lawyers were "torn between laughter
and disgust," when they saw it. Now Britney Spears says that no such hilarious
and disgusting sex tape even exists. And to prove it, Britney is going
to sue US Weekly for $10 million.[see full story for more]-

George Coke Case Delay |
hecklerspray reports: Those of you eager to
see Boy George holding court in the Celebrity Big Brother house can get
a little bit excited - the Boy George cocaine court case has been postponed
until February.
What was the reason that Boy George's court
case has been pushed back? So he could "work on literary and recording
projects in England". Is Celebrity Big Brother literary? Not really. But
some of it is recorded. Kind of.[see full story for more]-
