Hey, if you'd ever kissed Dennis Rodman, you'd have germ fears for the rest of your life, also.

So who can really blame Madonna? The Material Paranoid Girl requests a new toilet seat in her dressing room for every night of her Confessions world tour.

A source revealed the following to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper:

"The seat has to be inspected by her people, then installed - with an unbroken seal - by plumbers before every gig."

In defense of everyone's favorite 47-year old singer, this isn't such an outrageous demand. There were rumors years ago that Mariah Carey required certain color M&Ms at every show. As Madonna's spokesperson, Liz Rosenburg, said:

"Who wouldn't want a new toilet seat wherever they go?"

No, seriously, she wants to know. Leave a comment about the issue please.

Other Madonna requests on tour include:

• Three candles to protect her from negative vibes and mean-spiritedness
• A relaxing foot spa complete with lavender and camomile body soak
• Kabbalah water
• A love seat

The Gossip is fine with all this. Madonna has earned it. A friendship with Lindsay Lohan, however? Now we have a problem.

Our counterparts at hotonlinenews.com are reporting that Britney Spears is not taking too kindly to the laziness of husband Kevin Federline. In fact, the pop star recently axed a pool boy for hanging out with her deadbeat of a husband.

"I was hanging out a little bit. She came out screaming at Kevin for lying around, then looked at me like I was to blame," ex-employee Jon LaLane told In Touch Weekly.

The next day, LaLane says he got a call from one of Spears' representatives, telling him not to report for work. Don't call us, we'll call you, Jon.

LaLane, son of the famed exercise guru Jack LaLane, and who is also in a band called BlowGun (far too easy to even waste time on a one-liner) says he and K-Fed (below) would talk music by the pool. That's probably a bad sign, if you think about it. The band is clearly not getting it done commercially if he's cleaning pools -- and Federline is not exactly the guy an aspiring performer should be bouncing ideas off of.

In any case, LaLane claims that pregnant Britney would get jealous when her hubby talked to anyone else. Britney, whose Manny made headlines for awhile, apparently is allowed to talk to whoever she wants. We now know who wears the pants in this house, not surprisingly.

"She wants Kevin on a leash. She fires everybody. I figured, 'Why not me?' I just didn't expect her to be so mean. It's a revolving door there. She's not the nice person everyone thinks she is," LaLane said.

Oh, get over yourself. She fired you, move on. Go clean Lindsay Lohan's pool, Jon -- the Gossip is pretty sure there's a "special" treat in it for you.

Lindsay Lohan is out of the hospital. We know, we're as bummed out about this fact as you are.

Fortunately, the exhausted waste of breasts is not out of the news. The night owl slimy, annoying snake and her man of the moment, Harry Morton, got tattoos at an L.A. parlor during a 3 a.m. visit last week.

What sort of ink did Lohan receive? Sadly, not the fatal kind. Instead, she had a tiny white heart inscribed between her thumb and index finger on her left hand, according to Page Six. We assume this was so the actress could literally crush a heart whenever she chose to. Don't say you weren't warned, Harry.

Morton also scarred himself for life. He's now sporting a cross tattoo, although the location was unspecified. At least he knows how necessary praying is when Lohan is in your life.

Overall, this is Lohan's fourth tatto. The others are:

1. The word "Breathe" on her right wrist: Reminders are required during all Lohan specials.
2. A small star inside her left wrist: She'd have gotten a larger one, but her body weight couldn't support it.
3. The phrase "La Bella Vita" on her lower back: Loosely translated to mean, "The gross ho bag."

Everything appears to be alright, but our friends at hollyscoop.com are reporting that the incomparable Britney Spears was terrified recently by a false labor scare. The 24-year-old singer, who is now very pregnant (seven months in, to be exact) with her second child, went into false labor last week and was rushed to hospital.

"Britney started cramping. She had a real scare," a friend who must not care about Britney's privacy at all told In Touch Weekly.

Britney is now out of hospital but has been warned by doctors that she may have to spend the last month of the pregnancy in bed.

She has also been told to improve her diet, which has never been the healthiest. Guess that means she has to cut down on those pork rinds. Oh, and no more Taco Bell, you hear!

Spears has admitted to junk food cravings since becoming pregnant with poor Sean Preston's will-be-sibling, but has now hired a nutritionist to make sure she stays in shape as her pregnancy winds down.

"She wasn't eating enough vegetables. But Britney is now determined to enjoy the rest of her pregnancy and stay healthy after she gives birth," the friend added.

It is not the first time Britney and her deadbeat husband, Kevin Federline, have been faced with a pregnancy scare. When the pop star was pregnant with Sean Preston, she feared she had suffered a miscarriage after four months.

Get well, Britney. We kid (a lot), but we love you.

Before, we went Old School with Will Ferrell. Now? It's all about Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The actor got down with his silly self at the premiere in L.A. over the weekend.

If the former band mates of Lance Bass were surprised at his homosexual outing, they were still supportive of such a lifestyle.

For example, Justin Timberlake may now be a bad boy - but had nothing but good things to say about Bass:

"Lance is one of my great friends," Timberlake said in a statement issued by his rep, Ken Sunshine. "I support him and wish him all the happiness in the world."

We can only assume JT was not present to express these sentiments himself because he was busy laughing at his rep's last name. Sunshine. That's funny.

Meanwhile, Another former group member, Joey Fatone, told People: "He took years to really think about how he was going to tell everyone. I back him up 100 percent."

You know where we're going with this, right, folks? Yep, looks like these guys are all in sync with their support of a friend.

First, let us make recent celebrity announcements perfectly clear to those whose attention has been focused on lesser events such as mass destruction in the Middle East, Avian Flu concerns and Beyonce video controversy.

Oprah is NOT gay. Lance Bass IS gay. In visual form:

So, here's the question, Gossip fans: Which revelation is more shocking? Did you see Lance's liberation coming? What about the straight stance taken by Oprah? Let us know!

Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson may be tying the knot this weekend in St. Tropez â€" marking the first of at least four vow exchanges the on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again lovers have planned â€" but don't expect TomKat to follow suit.

According to TV Guide, a spokesperson for Tom Cruise said that the rumors of a weekend wedding the actor and his (possibly-fake) baby's momma, Katie Holmes, are bogus. As far as the source claims it knows, the plans are for nuptials to be exchanged in late summer/early fall at one of Cruise's homes and not in Holmes' hometown of Toledo, Ohio.

In a statement, Toledo expressed a collective, "Thank you!"

In a blog, The Hollywood Gossip offered a hearty, "We'll be there! Just tell us the date and time and we'll show up!"

P.S. Suri Cruise is not real.

Man, that headline was too easy. But we couldn't pass it up once we heard that Prince and his wife of five years, Manuela Testolini Nelson, filed for divorce on May 24, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Testolini Nelson, 29, used to work for Paisley Park Studios, the recording and production complex Prince opened outside Minneapolis back in 1987.

The Minnesota native wed his bride in 2001 in a small, secret Jehovah's Witness ceremony in Hawaii, with the Manuela taking her husband's name.

For those of you unfamiliar with the man who once changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol in a show of resentment to his record label, Prince is actually Prince's given name, and he actually has a last name, too -- Prince Rogers Nelson was born in 1958.

While Prince was releasing a number-one album, 3121, performing on SNL and American Idol, getting into legal trouble for painting his trademark symbol and the 3121 logo on the house he is renting from NBA star Carlos Boozer, and making his usual cryptic comments, his bride has been running Gamillah Inc., which houses a production company, a line of designer candles and other businesses.

This was Prince's second marriage. His first, to backup singer and dancer Mayte Garcia, was annulled in 1998 after two years.

Speaking of legal documents involving Prince, Britain's HM Publishing Holdings filed a trademark lawsuit against the artist's NPG Music Club (named after his former band, the New Power Generation) website on July 3, protesting its use of the "NPG" moniker. The company believes it owns license over the acronym with its Nature Publishing Group, or NPG.

Prince's attorney has said that his client's right to use the name is not in jeopardy and that the recent decision to shut down the site had nothing to do with the lawsuit against him. The Gossip has long been an unabashed Prince fan, and while we never wish to see him having trouble, we're hopeful for more news about this eccentric singer soon.

THIS is the way to ensure a long-lasting marriage: do it many, many times. The wedding ceremony, that is.

Pamela Anderson confirmed Wednesday she's ready to tie the knot with Kid Rock finally in France. And California. And Michigan. And Tennessee. Maybe Delaware.

"I'm going to get married a few times this month to the same guy," said the buxom-laden actress, who wore a white veil pulled-back from her face during a news conference about her new online poker site, PamelaPoker.com.

No, no, not poke her. Poker. Come on, guys.

Anderson's nuptials to Kid Rock, whose real name is Bob Ritchie (haha!), will take place near St. Tropez, France. They are reportedly planned for Saturday. From there, who knows ...

"We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville," she said.

She offered no other details on the ceremonies - and The Gossip assumes Pam was referring to cities just now, not names of friendly strippers.

When it comes to dealing with jitters before the big day(s), Anderson replied: "I have two words for you: champagne." We wonder if Jennifer Aniston is taking the same approach for her engagement with Vince Vaughn.
