contactmusic.com: Kevin Federline has added his support to wife Britney Spears' plans to launch a new magazine to counter rumours they read in the press. Spears recently vowed to publish "the real deal" about their lives and relate other celebrity news too. Speaking to American magazine Steppin' Out, Federline says of thier idea for 'The Real', "It's not just us. Everybody has been lied about in the tabloids. "Everybody has false truths and false images and false stuff perceived on them. Maybe not as much as me and my wife get. But everybody has it." Federline feels the proposed venture would provide a valuable service to fellow celebrities, adding, "I think a magazine like that, would attract all the stars. I think they would want to go to that magazine and tell the truth! "I'm not kidding. This is something I want to do for real."

indiaenews.com: Pop star Britney Spears’ parenting mistakes are being used by a baseball team to make a positive difference.
According to contactmusic.com, Spears was criticised earlier in the year for driving her then eight-month-old son in her lap and then later had him in a car seat facing the wrong direction.
The baseball team is set to host a ‘Britney Spears Baby Safety Night’ where fans will get information on car seat safety. Members also qualify to win a free car seat.
Spectators can attend the event for free if they either bring a baby or child aged four or under, carry a baby toy or just simply dress up as babies themselves.

nationalledger: It's a frightening thought. While Britney Spears and her husband Kevin Federline were cuddling and making headlines downstairs, Britney's mother-in-law was busy parting away with porn legend Ron Jeremy upstairs, according to a report from the NY Post.
Ron Jeremy and Brit's Mom-in-Law in Vegas
Its better that way, as the double entendres would be flowing had the locations been reversed.
Page Six reports that Ron Jeremy was spotted partying with Federline's mom in a VIP sky box at Tao Las Vegas. It's a brief but scary item and there is no word on how the two know each other, if they just met that night or if Federline's mother was just a fan.
As with the Page Six porn revelation for Tori Spelling, we need more details -check that, perhaps less is better.
Britney and Kevin made news as well while in Sin City.
The often maligned couple were actually spotted getting cozy with each other. Shocking - a married couple in love and giving fans a PDA.
According to a report the very preggers Britney turned up just after midnight to kiss and hug Kevin in front of hundreds of star struck onlookers. Shock and awe.
After half an hour of hanging out, Britney, 24, and a small group of girlfriends went to another club, the report details.

nationalledger: Tom Cruise was 'honored' by Minor League baseball's Lake Elsinore Storm with a Tom Cruise Night on Friday, June 30 where the team gave away a Tom Cruise Bobblecouch to the first 1,500 fans through the gates.
The California League team's promotion was said to be quite successful.
Now the Newark Bears Professional Baseball Club announced that on Friday, August 4, the organization will host Britney Spears Baby Safety Night.
The team's web site is touting the event.
The Bears invite all fans in Northern New Jersey to receive information on baby car seat safety, and receive an opportunity to win a free car seat courtesy of AAA. Fans who dress as a baby, brings a baby toy, or brings their baby (children 4 and under) will receive FREE admission. All fans in attendance also look forward to baby themed promotions, as well as a SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE.
We're guessing it is not Britney. Lottery ticket will also be given away, though it's not clear if that is a Britney related event.
The former pop star did spend last weekend right here in Las Vegas.
The minors is quite the animal in the world of sports and with the success of the Tom Cruise bobblecouch more stars can expect to see their names used to sell ticket to minor league ball games.
Right now there are several of the bobblecouches on sale on eBay, the popular online auction house starting at around $12 bucks.
Can a Mel Gibson safe driving night be far behind?

On Saturday (29JUL06), Federline filmed the video for his new song at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace and wrapped around 10:30pm, when the club then opened to the public. Federline and his crew stayed to celebrate and Spears, who is expecting the couple's second child this autumn (06), stopped by shortly after midnight. After spending half an hour with her husband, the TOXIC singer then headed back to Tao with a few girlfriends and watched the action on the dance floor. Federline remained at Pure where he took centre stage, emceeing from the DJ booth and playing his song four times to get the crowd going.

TMZ: Who's a bigger gold digger, K-Fed or Anna Nicole Smith? And by bigger we don't mean waist size.
A new feature on AOL describes the three ways to be labeled a gold digger in Tinseltown.
You can marry up in status à la K-Fed, make a killing on a divorce settlement (prenup not included) like Ivana or just play one in the movies like Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind."
The site also features polls which ask who is the best at marrying rich - Anna Nicole is in the lead with 49% - and which alleged gold digger's victim got the worst end of the stick - currently Mrs. Federline is tops with 59% of the vote.
So 'get down girl, go head get down' and pick who you think are Hollywood's most notorious gold diggers.

britneyexperts: When surfer girl Bethany Hamilton was attacked by a shark off the North Shore of Kauai, Hawaii, in 2003, she lost an arm--but not her drive. Now 16 and still home-schooled, Hamilton has blossomed as an entrepreneur, building a miniempire of merchandise, including a perfume called Stoked and an eponymous line of accessories sold at teen favorite Claire's. She is also working on a young-adult fiction series and three advice books. "It's been really exciting," she says. "I'm happy I'll be able to tell my story and inspire other girls."
She won't be telling that story for the first time--or the last. Soul Surfer, her autobiography, came out in 2004, and the movie version is set to start shooting this fall. Who might play Bethany? The filmmakers' target list includes Emma Watson (Harry Potter's friend Hermione) and Britney Spears ' sister Jamie Lynn.
Hamilton's love, though, remains surfing. She spends three weeks in a typical month traveling to competitions and has surfed off Brazil, Indonesia and Australia. But there are no waves like home. "Hawaii," she says, "will always be my favorite."

contactmusic: PROMISCUOUS singer NELLY FURTADO credits a series of failed movie projects for helping her to perfect her performance skills as a pop star. The Canadian singer has taken a handful of acting classes so she's ready for her big break - and she insists her video work is much better as a result. She says, "Acting's taught me a lot that I've used already in performance, videos, photo shoots, and even in the studio. I didn't learn anything about television until I came into the business. "I wasn't in the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB (like BRITNEY SPEARS and CHRISTINA AGUILERA) - no disrespect. When I came out, all my peers had been in the Mickey Mouse Club. I didn't know anything about camera cues or posture." Furtado has recently pulled out of Iraq War drama NOBODY'S HERO due to commitments with her pop career.

britneyexperts: Ah, bubble gum pop.
The sugary stuff currently comes in flavors such as the Pussycat Dolls, Ashlee Simpson and Rihanna ... but some of us still can't get the taste of these girls' predecessors out of our mouths.
So, as Britney Spears readies her bags for a return trip to the maternity ward and as Mandy Moore continues pursuing Oscars rather than Grammys, we look back at the pop princesses who ruled at the turn of the century -- and look forward to new albums from Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson.
Obviously, all four of these not-so-innocent-anymore young women have given us plenty to chew on over the years.
Britney Spears
Age: 24.
From: Louisiana.
Best known for: Her dance moves and personal life.
Arrived on the scene: Got her break at age 11 on the "New Mickey Mouse Club," which also featured Aguilera and future boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Spears' 1998 debut single "... Baby One More Time" went platinum.
Personal life: The pair had a messy breakup after which Timberlake wrote a song accusing Spears of cheating. In 2004, Spears married a childhood friend in Las Vegas -- before promptly annulling the union.
She then filmed a reality show with fiance/backup dancer Kevin Federline. The pair married in 2004 and had their first son, Sean Preston Federline, last September.
Highlights: Spears, the best-selling female artist of the 21st century, won her first Grammy in the Best Dance Recording category for "Toxic" (off 2003's "In the Zone"). And her MTV kiss with Madonna -- in addition to creating buzz -- seemed to symbolize the passing of the Queen of Pop torch.
Lowlights: UPN's "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic" was met by dismal ratings and reviews in 2005. Earlier this year, the paparazzi caught her driving with her newborn in her lap.
Latest release: The only thing due from her is a second child.

people.aol.com: Kevin Federline traveled to Las Vegas for work – to shoot his "Lose Control" video – but, with wife Britney Spears in tow, managed to find time for fun.
On Thursday night, Federline, 28, Spears, 24, their 10-month-old son, Sean Preston, and seven friends hit the Sin City restaurant Tao at the Venetian, where Mom and Dad dined on Buddha Chicken and Kobe Sirloin and baby Sean enjoyed mashed carrots, spinach and asparagus prepared just for him by head chef Josh Thomsen, a source tells PEOPLE.
On Saturday, Federline, who will perform "Lose Control" at the Teen Choice Awards on Aug. 20, filmed the video for the song at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace.
Once the video had wrapped at around 10:30 p.m., Pure opened to clubgoers and Federline and his crew stayed to celebrate. Spears, who is expecting the couple's second child this fall, stopped by shortly after midnight and received a hug and plenty of attention from her husband, an observer tells PEOPLE.
After half an hour of canoodling, Spears headed to Tao at the Venetian with a few girlfriends and watched the dance floor from a private perch, while at Pure, Federline took center stage, emceeing from the DJ booth. And he knew how to work the crowd – "Lose Control" was played four times, and by the final spin, the crowd was chanting along.

nationalledger: Angelina Jolie is a mom to three separate children and seems to understand exactly how to place those kids in their respective car seats. In a long distance driving lesson for Britney Spears, Jolie wheeled down the Pacific Coast Highway with baby Shiloh and the paparazzi in tow in a safe and reasonable manner.
The reason it was long-distance lesson is that Britney was in Las Vegas this weekend with hubby K-Fed and baby Sean P.
But still 'Mrs. Smith' was again tooling around Malibu in her ultra safe Land Rover with baby Shiloh in the back seat, away from long camera lenses and safely restrained.
That's a far cry from Britney's earlier exploits in the Mini-Cooper (pictured) and her drive down the PCH with Sean P on her lap that may even result in a TV episode this fall.
