Watch the video that made headlines in Hollywood of Britney at Burger King. Do you recognise anyone? Yep, Kyle's driving the car and Jackie is hiding "Britney" (their producer Georgie) under a jacket! Can we believe any of the rumours about the troubled superstar?
Here´s the link to the video.

Gossip from the Brits:
Alesha Dixon could barely get into the front door at the bash because so many people were bothering her for pictures. She got a bit cold, so got one of her “three or four” helpers to drape a coat around her.
Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole shouted “bring on the party” at the bash as she carried on living life to the full without her cheating husband, Ashley Cole (Daily Star).
…while her band-mate Sarah Harding knocked a glass of champagne over Andrew Lloyd Webber. His female friend demanded an apology from the singer (Daily Mirror).
Amy Winehouse tried to get the crowd to cheer for her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, currently in Pentonville Prison.
Billie Piper had a sneaky cigarette outside the back of the venue (Daily Mirror).
Klaxons’ Jamie Reynolds was so drunk on the red carpet he answered questions by playing air guitar (Daily Record).
Richard Hawley got well-wishing text messages from Billy Bragg and Jarvis Cocker during his car ride to the awards.
Sean Lennon was at the bash – but not to support his dad’s former bandmate, Sir Paul McCartney, apparently. He said he was there to support Mark Ronson (Daily Star).
Vic Reeves’ seemingly drunken slurring on stage, which led to presenter Sharon Osbourne shoving him off and swearing at him, was in fact caused by the autocue packing in (The Sun).
Beth Ditto’s plan from the start was to get drunk and sleep on her flight back to Arkansas. “I figure you can be drunk on the plane,” she said (Daily Star).

Jack Black has denied speculation that he will one day play late comic John Belushi in a biopic.
The actor has been likened to Belushi in the past but said he believes the common practice of comedians playing other comedians is doomed to failure.
He told Canadian newspaper The St Catherine's Standard: "[Belushi's] life is not as funny as his work, and watching me do an imitation of him doing his Saturday Night Live bits won't be as funny as watching him do his SNL bits."
He added that a biopic would fall into the same trap as Jim Carrey's portrayal of comic Andy Kaufman in 1999 movie Man On The Moon, saying: "Just because the guy is an amazing and compelling artist doesn't mean that telling his story is going to be interesting to watch."
John Belushi died from an overdose of cocaine and heroin in 1982 at the age of 33.

Sex tape allegedly depicts rocker with a woman that’s not his wife.
Celebrity sex tapes are the cream of the crop for celebrity media. The fervor over Paris Hilton’s was unprecedented, and now paparazzi is on the lookout. Except Paris, unlike Gene Simmons from KISS, isn’t married.
That’s right, genessecret.com has posted a video that allegedly shows the KISS frontman having sex with a model who is not his wife, Shannon Tweed. Of course, the reliability of this website is questionable, and it would not be unusual for a scandal to be invented for the purpose of drawing hits on a website.
Or perhaps it’s a publicity stunt for the married couple’s reality TV series, “Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels.”
Oh, and by the way, the model in the video is an Australian blond named “Elsa.”

Actor and singer Edison Chen has apologised and promised to suspend his career in the aftermath of a sex photo scandal which has gripped China.
Several people have been arrested after 1,300 private shots which Chen, 27, had taken were put on the internet.
He told a news conference he was "deeply saddened" and wanted to "apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused".
Chen said he was stepping down from his showbusiness career "indefinitely".
Canadian-born Chen is a famous Asian actor and hip-hop artist.
He appeared in the Infernal Affairs trilogy, which was later made into the Hollywood film The Departed.
He was also in The Grudge 2 with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
'Malicious and deliberate'
The explicit photographs include at least six women celebrities.
The affair has led to least 10 arrests and threats of further criminal action.
Chen said: "I admit that most of these photos being circulated on the internet were taken by me.
"But these photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone."
Hong Kong police say the photos were uploaded by staff at a computer repair shop which Chen took his laptop to.
"There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the internet with malicious and deliberate intent," said Chen.
"This matter has deteriorated to the extent that society as a whole has been affected by this, and in this regard I am deeply saddened."
'Naive and silly'
Chen confirmed he had been helping the police investigation but believed it was too late to save his career. He said he would focus on voluntary and charity work.
"I have decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. I have decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and search my soul," he said.
Those under arrest are accused of copying and distributing explicit pictures.
They were published across the internet and could be found on China's most popular search engine, Baidu.
Pornography is officially banned in China and the internet is restricted and closely monitored by the government.
One of the women implicated, singer Gillian Chung, apologised last week for being "naive and silly" but did not confirm the photographs were authentic.

Big Brother's biggest mouth Charley Uchea was almost hit by a bus after stumbling out of a nightclub this weekend.
The leggy reality star had been partying hard but it was when she decided to stagger home that disaster nearly struck.
After her near miss with an oncoming bus, Charley fell in a heap onto the pavement.
She's acting like a right proper Charley, and she'd better watch her step in future - especially in those teetering heels!

Amy Winehouse missed her scheduled rehearsal for the Brit Awards on Monday (February 18), which had been set for at London’s Earl’s Court venue.
The star had apparently just learned that her incarcerated husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been swapping signed photos of her for heroin.
According to The Sun, Winehouse, who is scheduled to perform a medley at tonight’s (February 20) ceremony with Mark Ronson, Adele and Daniel Marriweather, the news has pushed her closer to leaving Fielder-Civil.
The newspaper reports that Winehouse’s family are preparing for a divorce, and plan to offer him a lump sum of cash to “disappear” should the split occur.
An anonymous source is quoted as saying; “Amy has opened her eyes recently. She’s grown close to this other Blake, Blake Wood [who she has been hanging out with recently], and is trying to live a better life.”

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston prepare for face off?
| Etiquetas: Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston
Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, who are likely to run into each other on February 23 at the Beverly Hills Hotel doing the honors as hosts for a fundraiser, are preparing for the eventuality in their own way.
"Jen has finally decided this would be her night to get even," a top studio exec says in the new issue of OK!.
"She'll have herself drop-dead gorgeous for the evening and supported by some of the most powerful people in Hollywood."
Aniston who is currently filming for Traveling in Vancouver, Canada, has been frequenting a spa there in between takes to make sure she looks her best.
Jolie, however, is playing it cool. The Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency "hardly ever thinks about Jennifer, to be honest," a friend of hers told OK!.
"She's got more important things on her mind than Brad's ex-wife."
Jolie isn't going out of her way to prepare for the event.
"This isn't really anything out of the ordinary for her, and she's not doing anything differently to prepare for it," the friend adds.

Aretha Franklin crowned queen on PETA´S 2008 worst-dressed celebrity list
| Etiquetas: Aretha Franklin, Eva Longoria, Kylie Minogue, Lindsay Lohan
Attention celebrities: If you do not remove the unsightly hair from your back - in other words, fur coats - and recognise that animals need their skins more than you do, be prepared for PETA's poison pen. Voters on PETA.org.uk and PETA US’s FurIsDead.com made the following compassion-deficient celebs with affinities for fur and leather the "biggest losers" on PETA's 2008 Worst-Dressed List:
Aretha Franklin
How 'bout some R-E-S-P-E-C-T for animals? Aretha, when you waddled into the Grammys in yet another vulgar fur, you looked as if you were going to perform "I Am the Walrus" by The Beatles. You might be a queen, but you don't know jack about compassion.
Marilyn Manson
Always draped in leather from head to toe, Manson has enough skeletons in his closet to fill a pet cemetery. As if wearing dead animals isn't foul enough, Manson says that he wears his cow-skin pants 24/7 - only peeling the smelly things off to have sex. That alone should be enough to tarnish leather's dated sex appeal. Manson might only be the shock rocker's stage name, but his wardrobe is a real-life tale of blood and guts.
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria is short on compassion. In her trashy furs, she looks like the streetwalker of Wisteria Lane. Eva is one "desperate housewife" in need of a quickie divorce - from her stylist.
Lindsay Lohan
I Know Who Killed Me isn't just the title of Lindsay Lohan's latest bomb, it's the cry of the animals snuffed out so that this "mean girl" can pose in their pelts. Lindsay, there's no road to recovery for the foxes who are anally electrocuted so that you can look skanky.
Kate Moss
Nothing completes the transition from supermodel to super tramp like a fur coat. If Kate could see clearly through those bleary eyes, maybe she’d clear her closet of those furs.
Kylie Minogue
What does Kylie Minogue have in common with her python purse? They are both cold-blooded. Come on Kylie, it's not cool to clutch an accessory made by nailing snakes to a tree and skinning them alive.
