While Britney Spears has been stripping and partying and cruising around town with Daimon Shippen, her ex-husband is looking for something a little more low-key.

A source close to Kevin Federline tells Us Weekly that the 29-year-old backup dancer, aspiring rapper and father of many children met with the program director at L.A. radio station KIIS-FM to talk about becoming a DJ.

"I know he's going to do some stuff at a station - he had an interview at KIIS... he's in talks to to be a DJ on KIIS," said the pal.

Can you see Kevin Federline as a spinster? It works as a career for DJ AM, a.k.a. Adam Goldstein, and he's dated some hot girls. As well as Nicole Richie.

A KIIS-FM source confirms the meeting, but calls any discussions about Kevin Federline "informal."

The source adds, "He really wants to be on radio. He's made that clear." Hopefully, his new girlfriend, Liz Hernandez, supports this career move.

The only question is whether he's as good at DJ'ing as he is at producing offspring (you know Jayden James won't be his last), or as bad as he is at rap.

He's terrible. Check out his video for "Lose Control."

Sorry, Larissa Aurora. You're old news.

Another Flavor of Love Girl has followed your lead and put out a racy calendar. Let's meet Shay Johnson.

She was known on the show as "Buckeey," and she's trying to live up to that reputation below by bucking any sort of conventions that say ugly women should not pose in naked photos. Good for you, girl!

Shay is merely the latest in a string of Flavor Flav cast-offs trying to extend their 15 minutes of reality TV fame into a solid half hour by posing in the buff.

Or, in the case of Jennifer Toof nude, doing a lot more than just posing! She's released a sex tape.

It's hard to say which girl will be the next to shed her clothing in order to prove Mr. Flav wrong. But, no, Naomi Campbell was never on that show. She just decided to get naked because she could.

Talk about splitting hairs.

When Hollywood's whore-able ho-tel heiress and the reigning celebrity gossip king (or queen, as he calls himself) get together in Southern California, the only question on our minds is who we'd rather be stranded on a desert island with.

Well, we might pick Hayden Panettiere before either one. Just maybe.

But let's assume Paris and Perez Hilton were the only pair of options in this scenario. Clearly, they know the kind of conundrum this poses.

As Paris Hilton and the celebrity gossip blog god who co-opted her name (as well as copyrighted celebrity photos without permission) strut down the street, the debate is on...

Who sucks worse? It truly is a duel to the death.

 

Charlie Sheen is no Tameka Foster.

That's the general sentiment of the actor's lovely fiancee, Brooke Mueller, as she recently gushed to People magazine about her man and their upcoming nuptials.

"I definitely want a big wedding," Mueller said. "But Charlie and I haven't planned anything yet."

Sheen and Mueller, though, are in no hurry to tie the knot. "We just got engaged and both of us want to enjoy the journey right now," she said. "We really want to live this part of our lives."

That's the sort of beautiful, profound attitude we can only hope other engaged couples, such as Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, follow.

Last month, Sheen proposed to Mueller, a real-estate investor, with an 11-carat, nearly $500,000 engagement ring during their 10-day vacation at the Four Seasons Hotel in Costa Rica.

"I was totally caught off guard when he popped the question!" Mueller says.

"We were having a romantic dinner in the hotel room with room service when he asked me to marry him. I was thrilled. I smiled all night and kept looking at the ring because it was so beautiful."

As for what attracted her to the 41-year-old star of Two and a Half Men, Mueller â€" who was introduced to Sheen by her best friend, Rebecca Gayheart, at a party in April 2006 â€" said: "Charlie is brilliant and has the most captivating mind of anyone I know. He makes me laugh all of the time, and his witty one-liners are relentless. He is simply charming."

He's also been known to have a call girl habit, but whatever. Maybe Heidi Fleiss has lost Charlie's number.

Mueller added that she's already close with Sheen's two daughters, Lola, 2, and Sam, 3, by his former wife, Denise Richards â€" who has sent her best wishes to the couple.

"I adore both of them and see them often," Mueller said.

Aww. How sweet. Check out this cute couple canoodling in the Big Apple.

Well, at least it would be a cute couple if that weren't Brandon Davis, a.k.a. Greasy Bear, under that hoodie. That's a cute girl with him, though!

Below, a sweatsuited Greasy Bear and his new girlfriend (seriously), model Cheyenne Tozzi of Australia, a.k.a. Koala Bear, were spotted having an early dinner in Manhattan.

Among the qualities of Cheyenne Tozzi that Brandon Davis admires is her ability to absorb copious amounts of the sweat and smoke emanating from him.

Despite Cheyenne's love, we can't help but notice that Brandon Davis looks a tad sad. Perhaps it's true that Greasy Bear's oil heir parents have cut off his money supply?

Or maybe he is depressed about getting kicked out of his brother Alexander's wedding… or can't shake the image of his other brother, Jason Davis, brawling with Perez Hilton.

Either that, or like the rest of us, he's praying for Britney Spears.

Cat fight! Cat fight! Meow!!!!

If you think we're a bunch of classless pigs for making light of a family's personal matters and hoping a sexy cat fight breaks out, well, hey, at least our celebrity news writers weren't indicted as part of a federal dogfighting probe like Michael Vick.

Anyway, the brewing bad blood between Britney Spears and her mother has reportedly risen to a new level - it's gotten physical.

The troubled pop princess and her mom, Lynne Spears, got into a shocking slap-fight back in mid-June that "left Lynne shaken and Britney Spears more determined than ever to cut her mother out of her life for good," according to MSNBC.

The trouble reportedly began when Lynne Spears stopped by the house of Britney Spears without an invitation on the weekend of June 15.

"Lynne barged into the house and insisted on taking the kids out to spend some private time with them," an insider tells Star. "She didn't ask or suggest... she demanded! Then she began denigrating Britney's mothering skills and losing her temper at the same time!"

What? Criticizing Britney's parenting of Jayden James? Just because the little guy looks like he's force-fed pork rinds doesn't make Brit a bad mother.

Still, it was because of the cat fight that Spears recently served legal papers against her mother, but the buzz right now is that Lynne Spears is mulling a countersuit.

LEFT: Britney Spears back when she was, like, really, really hot, like three or four years ago. RIGHT: Lynne Spears with Britney Spears' little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears.

But despite their ongoing feud, Lynne Spears doesn't completely blame her eldest daughter, who she thinks is spiraling downward into depression.

"Despite their problems, Lynne cares deeply for Britney and wants to help her," a source told Star. "She thinks anti-depressants may be the answer. Lynne feels Britney has depression, in large part because of her apparent manic behavior and problems with alcohol."

Brit's ex, Kevin Federline, was reportedly doing it wheelbarrow style with Liz Hernandez and couldn't be reached for comment. Just kidding, we totally made that up.

We hope Usher doesn't try to shut down this celebrity gossip site next.

The singer is on a mission to quell all negative talk surrounding his fiancee, Tameka Foster. And there's a whole lot of it!

It's even emanating from Usher's number-one fan site, usherforever.com. The woman behind the site, Erika Jackson, doesn't seem to care for Foster. And she's unafraid to express that view, sort of like how we aren't scared to call out Britney Spears on her poor parenting.

"He's had his lawyer send her papers," an insider said of Usher's actions.

Hands off! Tameka Foster makes it clear Usher is all hers.

Tameka has proved unpopular with many fans. She's reportedly fired her man's mother, Jonetta Patton, as his manager and has the audacity to have been married before. She's a regular Simon Monjack!

Usher penned an open letter recently regarding the flak the couple has receiving, saying: "It's disturbing that the media and bloggers (under the guise as 'fans') continuously speculate on the personal aspects of my life."

The talk seems to have affected the singer's career, too. The New York Daily News says Usher is likely to miss an August deadline to deliver his next album, meaning it won't be available in gift-friendly November.

However, a spokeswoman for Jive Records said a release date had never been set.

The truth probably lies somewhere in between. But we do know this: Alexis Phifer is getting off easy compared to the wrath Foster has endured.

What can we say about the following photo of Naomi Campbell nude?

It's attractive and, most likely, insane.

Unlike other, fairly stable super models - such as Petra Nemcova or Gisele Bundchen - Campbell is known for throwing telephones and causing scenes.

Perhaps she's trying to change her image below, channel her inner Tila Tequila nude and get word out that she's simply beautiful. Not a beautiful mess.

We'll do our best to help you with that cause, Naomi. But you might wanna stop having sex with garbage men. That's just our opinion, though.

Meanwhile, we wonder if Diane Kruger nude is pissed at Campbell for stealing her naked thunder.

Trust us here. Go ahead and enjoy pics of Vanessa Minnillo naked.

Just don't ask her boyfriend about them.

While doing an interview via satellite on July 10 from San Francisco for NYC's Fox's 5 morning show Good Day New York, Nick Lachey the topic of those infamous hot tub photos came up... and then the screen suddenly turned into a color-bar error message.

The show says the former boy band member pulled the plug himself. He was displeased with such celebrity gossip taking over his world.

"There was no technical problem," a rep for Fox 5 tells Us Weekly.

"Even the biggest divas in the business don't pull the plug on live interviews â€" it was a bizarre reaction to a simple question."

Here, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo get it on in water again. They love being wet!

For his part, Lachey talked about the pics that day with Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos. However, Fox 5 wasn't the only one to have issues with the ex-husband of Jessica Simpson. Word is spreading that you don't bring up certain nude photos with the man.

A producer for another talk show tells Us Weekly that when they were scheduled to do a satellite interview the same day, the star's handlers "told our control room, ‘Don't ask about the hot tub pics.'"

We don't know why not. Nick has a lovely girlfriend. He should be proud. You didn't see the husband of Kristine Lefebvre say the same thing.

Well, at least this puts to rest any rumors that Britney Spears has been completely neglecting her youngest son, Jayden James Federline.

The kid is clearly getting enough to eat. Seriously, what the hell is Alli Sims Britney feeding Jayden James? Every single celebrity news article about his mother? Geez.

In the JustJared photo composite below, you see Britney and her sons out for a spin to the local Starbucks. Jayden James got a 730-calorie muffin and a double espresso.

From left to right: Jayden James Federline, 10 months, Britney Spears, 25 years (going on 12) and Sean Preston Federline, 21 months. Quite the cute crew.

After circling the Starbucks parking lot at least four times, Britney Spears for drove around the block, back and forth, over and over again (as Al Gore seethes) until finally stopping. Her friend hopped out and went into Starbucks while the "singer" stayed put.

Jayden James looks rather subdued, while Sean Preston doesn't look thrilled to be there. But when you're used to big pimpin' in an Escalade, well, that car seat can suck it.
