Really early this morning, I posted a teaser photo released by BritneySpears.com that features Britney Spears and her cavalcade of dancers doing dance rehearsals for her upcoming The Circus starring Britney Spears Tour. The site has since been updated and a whole slew of new pics from tour rehearsals have been released:

Britney Spears’s Circus topped the charts – with a lot of hard work – and now she’s promising to do the same in her upcoming world tour. In an exclusive rehearsal photo posted to Spears’s Web site, Britney claps to the beat in simple, comfortable dance gear. Jamie King, who choreographed her 2000 tour, is back on duty, and the singer, 27, looks svelte and toned in a tank top showing off her arms, and even the mom-of-two’s tummy! The arena tour, her first in five years, kicks off in New Orleans March 3 with special guests The Pussycat Dolls.

Woot! She looks damn good, y’all! After the jump, check out a BUNCH more photos from these tour rehearsals …

Last month, Michael Lohan — estranged father of daughter Lindsay Lohan — launched his official blog to much fanfare and began publishing blogposts about things as varied as his daughter Lindsay Lohan to, well, his daughter Lindsay Lohan. The last blogpost that piqued my interest was a quick message about how he and his daughter Lindsay Lohan have called a truce … and then I kinda forgot that he existed. But today, Michael Lohan has posted a new blogpost asking for all y’all to help him … help his daughter Lindsay Lohan. Here is the full text of Michael Lohan’s latest blogpost, as always all spelling and grammatical errors are his own:

Like I said in the past, “if I see or hear of anyone or anything causing harm or is seen as a threat to my children,” I will speak about it, and do anything I can to try to intervene regardless of the repercussions on me. With that said, after seeing promise and thanking God for Lindsay’s freedom from SaMANtha’s bondage, I see now, that since SaMANtha has once again, weaseled her way back into Lindsay”s life, things have taken a dark turn. While I was enthused that Ali was with Lindsay, rather than SaMANtha, I am torn to see that SaMANtha has once again manipulated Lindsay into leaving her little sister in LA, only to join SaMANtha on another DJ gig in Boston. Was this again, a means for SaMANtha to earn more money through Lindsay”s presence? Did SaMANtha’s fee drop so much and so quickly when word got out that they parted ways? Are we so blind? Is Lindsay so blind? I know Dina and my kids aren’t because they tell me so. But then again, why does Dina tell me one thing and do another?! When a mother or father sees their child in turmoil (losing weight, not working, and purportedly cutting herself) are we supposed to stand by , remain silent and pretend it isn’t happening? Or are we suppose to step to the plate and not care what people think, and do something about it? Well, as you can see, I’m not going to sit back and let it slide. I am asking everyone out their to intervene in every way possible to help Lindsay, and quite possibly, save her life. Help this wonderful, good hearted and gifted young lady to see what SaMANtha is doing to her and how she is destroying her life. Help her to see that ever since SaMANtha came into her life, nothing good has come of it. As a matter of fact, Lindsay hasn’t used her gifts like she did before meeting SaMANtha. Just LOOK! The proof is there! These aren’t just words, but FACTS! PLEASE HELP!

Seriously … just when you thought that Michael Lohan couldn’t sink lower into desperation in order to gain a little attention he has to sink, well, lower. Who is he talking to in this post? Why does he think that throwing out random accusations to anyone who stumbles across his blog (which, I must surmise, isn’t very many people considering that no one has even bothered to leave a comment on his site … most likely cuz no one is there to read it)? Daddy Lohan has always seemed to me to be a very needy person … with this new blog, he comes across as a whiny child who doesn’t get the attention that he craves so he acts out, screaming as loud as he can to get people to notice him. I really think if Michael Lohan got a life of his own and refrained from trying to live a life thru his daughter Lindsay Lohan he’d be a much happier person. But, honestly, I doubt he’ll ever change. I’m sure he’ll be whining and crying for years and years to come. Sad.

Amy Winehouse continues to enjoy her extended Caribbean holiday as her never-ending vacay in St. Lucia rolls on … when last we saw Amy, the poor dear appeared be crawling on her hands and knees in desperate need of booze after the restaurant/bar she was in ejected her. Today, we get to see a couple new photos that show Amy looking much less desperate … and much less dressed. Here is a pic of Amy offering aid and assistance to a new friend of hers as she played a friendly game of Scrabble:

AMY WINEHOUSE scores a couple of extra points during a game of Scrabble – by throwing off her top. The singer stripped down to just a tiny pair of bikini bottoms as she helped a fellow holidaymaker with her triple word scores. A guest at the same hotel told The Sun: “While taking a break from her usual antics on the beach, Amy spotted some people playing Scrabble and decided to offer her spelling knowledge. “But only after whipping off her top! It was quite a sight.” Amy, who is preparing to fly home from St Lucia in a last-ditch bid to save her marriage to BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, has had quite a trip. As well going topless to show off her healthier figure to the world, she’s had TWO holiday romances and even performed a Baywatch-style beach rescue. But perhaps the recovering junkie’s strangest move is her new love for Scrabble. She recently enjoyed a game with Sun reporter Emily Smith, joking: “I am trying to think of something clever. No, I ain’t got the right letters for rehab.” Amy’s holiday wasn’t all good clean fun though – she’s regularly been seen drinking and openly smoking joints … She also put on a number of performances for guests in the lobby, including the drunken keyboard-playing attempt … The onlooker continued: “A live band had been booked to play on the night the video was taken, but that didn’t stop Amy from making an impromptu performance. “However, after a long period of trying to figure out what the buttons on the keyboard did, she could only remember the lyrics to Peter Andre’s Mysterious Girl!”

The girl continues to be a HOT MESS but at least she’s a much less reckless hot mess than we are used to seeing. I still contend that her time in St. Lucia is very good for her health … at least, better for her health. After the jump, check out the uncensored NSFW version of the image above along with another photo of Amy’s topless Scrabble game …

A tanned and sexy Josh Duhamel returned from his Maldivian/Caribbean honeymoon with new wife Fergie Ferg this past Monday but has already bid his ball and chain wifey adieu as he was seen, with bags in hand, at LAX Airport yesterday leaving town … alone:

I’m sure these photos are NOT cause for concern … as big name Hollywood celebs, both Josh and Fergie may need to jet off to far flung destinations at a moment’s notice and one’s spouse may not always be available to accompany. Tho, it’s worth recalling that Josh was snapped enjoying a bit of alonetime on the gold course while he was still on his honeymoon with Fergie so … yeah. While I doubt that the constraints of married life have caused Josh to flee so soon after returning from his honeymoon, something tells me that the sly smirk on his face is a bit telling. Have a great trip, Josh! And don’t forget to call the wife every 14.5 seconds :)

Alyson Hannigan and her husband Alexis Denisof (both lifelong members of the Buffyverse) were on hand for a screening of her CBS series How I Met Your Mother at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in North Hollywood, CA yesterday and, hot damn, did she look amazing. As you may recall, Alyson announced to the world that she is pregs with her first child back in October and altho she and the bump made their red carpet debut in November, I don’t think I’ve ever seen her look so stunningly beautiful — pregs or not:

She looks … just stunning. See, and I don’t even think it’s just the pregs glow that expectant mothers get that really makes these photos shine. For me, it’s a combination of Aly’s amazing smile, great styling and fashion sense AND the miracle of life incubating in her womb. She just looks so beautiful … tracking the burgeoning of Alyson’s bump has to be the best Bump Watch I’ve ever undertaken. What do y’all think … isn’t she a sight?

A couple of weeks ago we got our first listen to Kelly Clarkson’s new single My Life Would Suck Without You … a few days later, the song was made available for download on iTunes and it immediately became the #1 most downloaded song. Earlier this week we were told that fans would be given a preview of the vid during tonight’s episode of American Idol … but why wait, you can watch the video in full right here:

The vid is pretty cute, there’s an awful lot of cutesy boy-girl love in this music video. I think I was expecting a bit more excitement but it is pretty simple. Much like the song itself reminds me of her hit song Since U Been Gone, I have to admit that this video resembles that video as well. Mebbe she’s trying to make lighting strike twice? In any event, I love the song … and I quite like the video. I can’t wait to see/hear more. After the jump, check out the music video for My Life Would Suck Without You in full …

We are just about 2 months away from the start of Britney Spears’s new concert tour The Circus starring Britney Spears and fans the world over are starting to get antsy for new information. Accordingly, BritneySpears.com has been updated with a new photo from the tour rehearsals that shows Britney surrounded by her troupe of dancers … a tease for a batch of other new photos that are scheduled to be released later on today:

Along with this new photo, Britney’s official website promises that “pictures from tour rehearsal are coming your way” and will be released today. From the looks of just this photo, it appears that tour prep is coming along nicely. It’s so great to see Britney lookin’ like her old self again. I have high hopes that The Circus starring Britney Spears will be a smash hit for her. I can’t wait to see it for myself.

Additionally, BritneySpears.com is providing a seating chart that will show ticket holders where their seats are in relation to the three ring stage on which she will be performing:

Now VIP ticket holders can see where they will be seated. As you may recall, I posted a similar seating chart back in early December … but this one is more clear, better to decipher. Where will YOU be sitting when Britney comes to your town?
