What the hell ... it's like a rollercoaster with Britney Spears these days ... one day she's lookin' a fright and the next she's lookin' a'ight. Check out these screencaps from the ABC promo for her upcoming appearance at Mardi Gras:


Eh? Eh? Not to shabby, right? I'm telling you ... if she really put her mind to it she can get back in the saddle and salvage some portion of her fame again. Click HERE and scroll down midway the page to see the video. [Source]

But it looks like Brit Brit is getting all the help that she can ... check out these pictures of her trying to sneak away from a famous guru's abode in Beverly Hills. Guru Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa (thanks KT) is credited with helping Madonna get her singing voice back in shape after she gave birth to Lourdes ... looks like Britters is serious about getting her shizz together:


I just hope that Britney doesn't try to make the turban thing happen ... I fear, even when at her peak, it would never work. That said, I wouldn't mind if we got to see a pic of Brit in a turban ... you know ... just for chuckles. [Source]

So ... the word going around about that chick that K-Fed was pictured with is that her name is Sandy Lakdar who comes complete with an IMDB profile and a My Space profile:


It appears that this chick has a reputation for ... partying with the stars. What exactly is K-Fed doing with her while his wife is away on vacation? Could things be so innocent between him and this French chick? I guess we'll see how things turn out ... What Will Britney Do? [Source, Source]

OY ... the nonstop barrage of freaking adorable pictures of the Jolie-Pitts just won't stop:


The fam look so happy in France ... little Zahara is pointing up at the Eiffel Tower and it's so cute I need to heave. [Source, Source]

Whoa ... either Paris Hilton let Kimberly Stewart dress her in this outfit or she has seriously lost all control of her faculties:


This whole ridiculous getup is a complete and utter mess. She looks like the Easter Bunny threw up on her ... Boo!!! [Source]

It's a good thing for Nick Carter that he can still woo the ladies ...


... even if they're the drunken, slobbering, effed up ladies. Hey, beggers can't be choosers. [Source]

It's been a long time since we've had pictures of Ryan Phillippe here on PITNB so here you go:


Yeah, he's not doing anything out of the ordinary ... just lookin' hot. I didn't think you'd mind. [Source]

I barely paid any attention to the Elle Style Awards that were held in London earlier this week ... but I did come across these great pictures of Dannii Minogue who showed up at the event:


I love Kylie but I love Dannii as well. It'll be great once Kylie gets back on her feet again ... but until then, it's nice to have Dannii holding down the fort for her. [Source]

The New York Times Magazine has decided to highlight what they call the Great Performers of 2005 and photograph them in new and interesting ways. Says the magazine, The New York Times Magazine has tried to eschew [the] notion of competition by saluting the performances that moved, surprised and thrilled us, regardless of whether they were nominated for awards. Here are a few of the pictures:


I generally really like the photos over all. None of them are super shocking ... but they are subtly intriguing. The picture of Reese Witherspoon with the stars on her neck is very interesting. I also like the simplicity of the Michelle Williams and George Clooney photographs. Head over to the NY Times Magazine website to see them all. [Source]

And since we're talking Oscar nominees ... let's take a look at what Motorola has up their sleeve to WOW Hollywood with. The RAZR was first introduced to the world thru the Academy Award gift bag and this year Motorola is introducing the PEBL in the same way:


OY! The Hollywood elite always get hooked up with the best toys ever! This year's Academy Award nominees will receive a special-edition PEBL phone in a gunmetal color finish - the only consumers to have this edition of the just-available phone. Ugh ... it's so sick! Expect to see this phone showing up all over the place. Now that Kim Stewart is rockin' the pink RAZR I'm seriously gonna have to upgrade soon. [Source]

Um, is it just me or is Lindsay Lohan on, like, 8 different magazine covers each month? It's almost like we see her on a new, different cover every other day ... so anyways, here is L. Lo on the cover of the April issue of Seventeen magazine:


Whoa big hair! My first inclination is to hate this cover ... but the big hair kinda works for her. [Source]

Patrick Dempsey is on the cover of the new issue of Details magazine ... and even tho I am not a Grey's Anatomy fan (I know, I know ... I hear it's an amazing show but I just don't have the time to pick up a new show) but that doesn't mean I'm not a Patrick Dempsey fan -- so let's enjoy:


Ol' Patty is a good lookin' dude ... it's nice to see him score with a hit TV show ... cuz that means we'll get to see more of him. [Source]

And finally, those of us who live on this side of the pond weren't able to watch Madonna's appearance on the UK version of Pimp My Ride ... which very sad:


Fortunately, we can download the whole show from Madonna-TV.com. Enjoy! [Source]

I am happy to report that I am starting to feel better ... I think my illness is subsiding ... I didn't really have a great night but I am having a much better morning. Here's hoping I'm on the road to recovery.

Things are so crazy for me right now ... I have so many things to do ... all this traveling is really starting to pile up ... altho, I am getting more used to it. I have a million things to do today, including fixing my car. OY! When it rains it pours ... and right now, I feel like I'm in a tsunami!

Gotta jet ... I'm out.
