Britney forced to cut topless scenes from raunchy video

Britney Spears has been forced to tone down the video for her comeback single 'Gimme More'.
In the original video, the singer flashed her breasts and appeared with what look like leaves covering her bare nipples.
However, The Sun reports that the singer has now cut out those topless scenes.
As to why Britney would take a step like this, well that's because US censors would have only allowed the video to be broadcast at night if the cut had not been made.
And while fans will not get to see Britney topless, they will be able to hear her new album sooner than expected, for record label Jive has decided to release it earlier than the Nov. 13 date.
The album, Blackout, will now be available to fans on Oct 30 due to 'unauthorised leaks'.
Though Jive has not detailed Blackout's tracks beyond "Gimme More", it has been reported that the album will feature the songs "Heaven on Earth," "Piece of Me," "Break the Ice" and "Radar," one of the leaked cuts.

The Britney Spears Sex Tape Scandal

Things have just gone from bad to worse for Britney Spears – with new reports emerging that the pop-tart has been caught up in yet another sex tape scandal.
Just one day after losing primary physical custody of her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline, an unnamed 28-year-old man has confessed his sex tales with the 25-year-old to a U.S. tabloid magazine.
The mystery man - who bedded Spears while she was vacationing on Hawaii in June 2007 – claims to have caught their sweltering one night affair on tape.
However her one-night-stand man claims that he has refrained from releasing the tape because of his slapdash performance.
He told the In Touch Weekly: "It was just normal sex, we didn't do anything crazy. It was a little disappointing. It lasted for about 25 minutes and then we passed out."
The 28-year-old was living in Hawaii when he met Spears at a bar on 7 June 2007.
They retired to her room at the Four Seasons hotel on the KonaKohala Coast where they had sex.
The mystery man admits Spears had no knowledge he was filming their sex session.

No Sex Before Marriage For Miley Cyrus

Following false claims that she was in the family way at the tender age of 14, Miley Cyrus is eager to distance herself from that fellow Disney scandal-monger, Vanessa Hudgens.
The Hannah Montana star responded to the pregnancy rumours by telling Extra that she is saving herself:
“It’s given me the street cred to say that would be impossible, because I’m living my life the way I believe is right and that is to stay pure,” she insisted.
When asked if she believes in sex before marriage, she replied, “No, I don’t at all!”
Britney Spears once claimed that she didn't believe in sex before marriage - and look what happened to her!!

Seized pic is not child porn: Elton John

Sir Elton John has confirmed that he is the owner of the picture seized by police in a child porn inquiry. However, he insisted that the picture had been 'widely published and exhibited throughout the world' without objection.
The controversy began a couple of days ago when officers from Northumbria Police took the picture away after being called in by the management of he Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead, Tyneside, just hours before it was due to go on display.
On his official website, Sir Elton John says that this would not have been the first time that people would have seen the picture by Nan Goldin, which depicts two young girls playing together in front of a kitchen sink. One is skimpily dressed, the other is naked and lies beneath her, knees bent and legs splayed towards the camera.
"The photograph entitled Klara and Edda belly-dancing (1998) is one of 149 images comprising the Thanksgivinginstallation by renowned US photographer Nan Goldin," Times Online quotes Sir Elton, as saying on his website."The photograph exists as part of the installation as a whole and has been widely published and exhibited throughout the world. It can be found in the monograph of Ms Goldin's works entitled The Devil's Playground, has been offered for sale at Sotheby's New York in 2002 and 2004, and has previously been exhibited in Houston, London, Madrid, New York, Portugal, Warsaw and Zurich without any objections of which we are aware."
Honey Luard, of the White Cube where the Thanksgiving collection was first displayed in 1999, said: "The image would have been part of our show. To my memory there was no outcry at the time. Nobody objected to the picture. Nan Goldin is internationally acclaimed, a highly respected artist."

George Clooney Injured in Bike Crash

George Clooney and a companion were injured on Friday when their motorcycle collided with a car on a narrow road across the Hudson River from New York City.
Clooney suffered a broken rib and scrapes while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot in the 3:30 p.m. collision. The two were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said.
"He's doing fine," Rosenfield said. "He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal."
Clooney and Larson were traveling north and sped up to pass on the right of a 1999 Mazda Millenia that was preparing to make a right turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. Both were wearing helmets.
It wasn't known whether the Mazda's driver, whose identity was not immediately released, used a turn signal, Kelly said. The accident was under investigation.
"It's a he-said, she-said right now, but you can't pass on the right in Weehawken or anywhere in Jersey," Kelly said.
Rosenfield said the accident occurred when the vehicle signaled a left-hand turn, but turned right and struck Clooney's motorcycle.
"The car signaled left. George was riding to the right. The driver decided to make an abrupt right turn and clipped George," he said.
The 46-year-old actor was in the New York area to film the dark comedy "Burn After Reading," co-starring Brad Pitt, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand. Clooney's recovery shouldn't interrupt the production's schedule, Rosenfield said.
Clooney's latest film, "Michael Clayton," will be released next month. He and Larson have been spotted together at several film festivals and movie premieres in recent weeks.

O. J. Simpson denies robbing sports memorabilia dealer

Former American football star O.J. Simpson has denied that he robbed a sports memorabilia dealer at a hotel recently.
He pleaded his innocence, saying that the memorabilia in question was already stolen stuff.
"Everybody knows this is stolen stuff. Not only wasn't there a break-in, but Thomas Riccio (the auction house owner) escorted us up to the room. In any event, it's stolen stuff that's mine. Nobody was roughed up," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
"I'm O.J. Simpson. How am I going to rob somebody and get away with it? This is somebody going to get his private (belongings) back. That's it. That's not robbery. I don't hang out with gangsters; I hang out with golfers," he added.
The sportsman-turned-actor allegedly raided a suite at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas last Thursday, pretending to be part of a group interested in buying memorabilia items from collector Alfred Beardsley.
The articles included the suit that Simpson wore when he was acquitted of the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
Simpson now faces charges including robbery with a deadly weapon, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.
