Britney Spears Gets Some Retail Therapy, Court Date

With a new single on the way and an album due out by year’s end (December 2nd), Britney Spears is all about finding the right clothes to make her look hot.

And the “Gimme More” songstress was spotted combing the racks at Calypso boutique in Los Angeles yesterday (September 18) looking cute and casual in a grey tank top with jeans and chunky heels.
Just when we thought her court drama was over, though, it sounds like Brit Brit may be back in court on October 15th. This time it’s over her charge for driving with an invalid driver’s license.

But Spears’ attorney Michael Flanagan told press he’s not too worried. “Ninety percent of my experience in court [with this charge] is, once you get the license corrected, they dismiss the case. If you don’t, it’s a $321 fine. Neither option has been given to Britney. This girl has come a long way in the last year, she’s a solid citizen. Let’s treat her as normal.”

Sex And The City Launches DVD

It’s theatrical release on May 30th drew massive crowds, and last night Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall helped launch the “Sex and the City: The Movie” DVD.

It was a glamorous affair as the New York Public Library was transformed for the pink carpet event. And SJP looked stunning in a shiny sleeveless black dress with silky black gloves and bright red heels.
Co-star Kim Cattrall maintained her penchant for racy attire with an open-buttoned black shirt/jacket combo with a pair of black trousers, while Cynthia Nixon kept it conservative in a gold belted dress with matching shoes.

Unfortunately for those hoping for a sequel, Parker says it’s probably not going to happen. She told press, “It has taken the last two years of my life to get to this point. To ask for anything beyond that, honestly, we would have to be greedy. I don’t really even feel that it’s in our control.”

“It wasn’t difficult to let go, I think that maybe it’s because I’ve always sort of looked at this as literature. Maybe it’s because we have had so many chapters to tell. It’s always bittersweet, but I never have felt a need to do beyond what had been on the page.”

Jessica Simpson Sings For Charity

She’s always been a fan of helping those in need, and last night Jessica Simpson took the stage at the 5th Annual Nina’s Night Out to benefit the Rape Crisis Center.

Held at the Pearl night club inside the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the shindig raised money to help women who have suffered from sexual assault.
And Jess looked stunning as she sang through new cuts off of her country album “Do You Know,” sporting a black and red top along with a pair of flair-legged jeans and black shoes.

Speaking of “Do You Know,” it sounds like Miss Simpson may be experiencing some initial success with the album as it debuted at #1 on the country albums chart.

She told press, “I’m extremely touched by the overwhelmingly positive response to the album. There is so much honesty and raw emotion in there. And, I’m just thrilled that country fans are giving it a chance!”

Rihanna Best Dressed

Given her worldwide fame and notoriety, Rihanna really can’t go anywhere on the globe without causing a bit of a stir. And yesterday the Parisian paparazzi were ready and waiting.

The “Take a Bow” songstress arrived at the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France before heading to the Murano hotel to get some rest.
And she looked sassy in a black and beige printed top underneath a fuzzy long white coat teamed with a pair of slim fit jeans and grey suede boots.

Speaking of fashion, Rihanna was recently named in the 10 best-dressed women of 2008 by People magazine for her ‘sugar and spice’ and ‘sophisticated mix of glamorous gowns and funky dresses.’

Audrina Patridge Moves Out

movers were active at the residence of Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge yesterday (September 18). And now we know why - Audrina has moved out!

That’s right, the trio of Hills ladies has now become a duo as LC and Lo Bosworth are left in the Los Angeles home. But it really didn’t come as much of a surprise.
Miss Bosworth recently told press, “Audrina and I know we’re never gonna be best friends. She and I don’t have personalities that go together very well,” while Conrad mused, “Audrina has to remind me that she’s not someone who’s going to betray me.”

The paparazzi stood by and snapped a ton of pictures of the three on/off friends sharing a tearful farewell before Patridge hopped into her white Mercedes Benz convertible and headed off for good.

Hayden Panettiere’s Mani/Pedi Afternoon

Treating herself to an afternoon of relaxation and pampering, Hayden Panettiere was spotted out at the Yuri Japanese Nail Salon in Los Angeles, California yesterday (September 18).

The “Heroes” hottie looked cool, calm, and collected as she reclined in the spa chair, receiving the salon staff’s full attention for her manicure and pedicure.
And as she waited for her nail polish to dry completely, Hayden enjoyed a neck and shoulder massage followed by a cup of detox green tea to top things off.

Miss Panettiere has an exciting fall season to look forward to, with the September 22nd premiere of the new “Heroes” season, as well as finishing up her latest film “I Love You Beth Cooper.”

Kim Kardashian’s Retail Romp

With all of the hard work and dedication she’s been putting into her Dancing With the Stars gig, it’s good to see Kim Kardashian taking some time for herself.

The “Disaster Movie” dame was spotted filming a segment for her reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” yesterday (September 18) on a shopping trip to H&M.
And Miss Kardashian looked sexy and stylish in a blue t-shirt style dress teamed with a black jacket, black leggings and a pair of black studded high heeled boots.

As for her big DWTS debut on September 22nd, Kim says she’s ready to win. “Mark and I continue to rehearse every single day, still make each other laugh, and are getting more and more excited to show everyone what we’ve been working so hard for!! Just a few more days!!!”
