Free Britney

Law enforcement sources have spoken about the craziness in Britney Spears' house - profanity, nudity, drugs and wild mood swings - last Thursday.

According to TMZ, sources say when the authorities arrived, Britney was holed up in the master bathroom with Jayden James. Officers saw Britney from the backyard holding Jayden, who did not appear to be upset.

Britney refused to come out for nearly three hours.

When she finally emerged, sources report, all she was wearing was panties. Interesting, since she often wears plenty of clothing, but no underwear.

Spears was incoherent, screaming, "What the f*%k are you doing in my house? I know who you are... I don't need your f*%king help. You will do as I say!"

Spears eventually put on a see-through nightgown. Cops wanted to cover her with a sweater, but she screamed, "Don't cover me up. I'm f*%king hot!" 

Britney Spears just plain lost it, then was carted out of her house.

Britney's assistant said Spears had been "popping pills" all day. Her code for medication was "vitamins." Officers found Prozac in her bedroom.

Sam Lutfi arrived and said he and others around Britney Spears "knew this was coming for a long time," but didn't know how bad it would get.

According to Sam Lutfi, Britney is so unstable, she recently bought a house in Malibu on a whim, began moving furniture in... then changed her mind.

Spears' nanny told cops that Britney would often dress up to the nines - for no reason. She would walk around the house, then change back.

Earlier that day, Spears was unworried about attending her deposition with Mark Vincent Kaplan and would not heed warnings to show up on time.

Police will testify about the insanity at Monday's custody hearing - a make or break day for Britney Spears if she ever wants to see her kids.

O.J. Simpson is currently in custody in Florida on allegations that he violated terms of his bail in a Las Vegas armed robbery case, according to CNN.

Simpson was to go before a judge Wednesday at the request of Clark County District Attorney David Roger. The prosecutor was filing a motion Friday to revoke Simpson's bail, according to a court clerk.

"We understand he's in the custody of his bail bondsman in Florida right now, and will be brought to Las Vegas for the hearing," said court clerk Elana Pitaro.

A bondsman at You Ring We Spring bail bonds declined comment.

OJ Simpson was freed September 19 on $125,000 bail following his arrest on allegations that he and several "friends" burst into a Las Vegas hotel room and robbed two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint.

OJ Simpson's latest round of trouble has him in custody yet again.

Simpson is in hot water because he allegedly called one of his co-defendants in the Las Vegas armed robbery case, a court official said. Identifying himself as "Miguel," O.J. telephoned Clarence "C.J." Stewart on November 16 and expressed frustration with Stewart's testimony at a preliminary hearing.

A bail bondsman is a person or company that pledges money as collateral (bail), guaranteeing the appearance of a criminal defendant in court.

Bondsmen generally charge a fee of 5-10 percent of the total amount of the bail required in order to post a bond for the defendant.

Apparently - details remain scarce - O.J. Simpson's bail was posted by a such a company, which is now holding him on violation of the terms of his bail.

O.J. Simpson, 60, pleaded not guilty to 12 criminal counts in connection with what prosecutors contend was a kidnapping and armed robbery.

At a November preliminary hearing, a judge ordered the former football great and two of his co-defendants to stand trial on the charges.

Prosecutors allege Simpson and five men burst into a room at the Palace Station Hotel and held two memorabilia dealers against their will.

Simpson said he was merely taking back items that belonged to him, but one of the two alleged victims described it as a "military-style invasion."

The case will likely hinge on whether there were guns involved. But one of the men who aided O.J. - and subsequently testified against him in exchange for a plea bargain - said the Juice wanted to "get some heat."

Actress Katherine Heigl - of Grey's Anatomy, Knocked Up and now 27 Dresses fame - appears on the cover of the February issue of Cosmopolitan.

We could provide you with excerpts from the interview, but we know attention spans are short, so we'll spare you her typical outspoken comments and focus on the simple, enjoyable fact that Katherine Heigl is hot as hell ...

Katherine Heigl: The Fun Fearless Female of the Year, or something.

Making this sexy, cleavage-baring cover shot of Katherine even better: the words "arouse," "butt," "thighs," "sex position," "pleasure triggers" and "g-spot."

Good grief, Cosmo. What are you trying to do to us here!?

Of course, there's also a thumbnail of that douchebag John Mayer. Guess every silver, titillating lining has its dark, large-domed cloud.

Monday, January 14.

This is shaping up to be one of the most important days of Britney Spears' life. No, not because she's gonna show us her crotch. Although she might!

As you might recall, in the aftermath of Britney's meltdown last week, the judge stripped her of all custody and visitation rights regarding her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, until the January 14 hearing.

If she has any hope of getting her kids back, TMZ cites sources close to the case saying that Britney sure as hell better show up - and cooperate.

Should Britney Spears pull one of her trademark no-shows, or cause a scene, or act at all disrespectful in court, it could be curtains for her custody case.

Moreover, police sources say Commissioner Scott Gordon will hear firsthand eyewitness accounts of Thursday's epic meltdown from the LAPD, firefighters and paramedics who were on scene at Britney's mansion.

We don't imagine that will be a pretty picture.

In any case, the L.A County Sheriff's Department isn't taking any chances come Monday - they're ready for anything. If Britney Spears loses it or commotion breaks out in court, they will there to "handle" the situation.

Get ready, celebrity gossip fans. This could be a circus. We just hope Britney and Adnan Ghalib turn up before then and she remembers to go.

UPDATE: A source close to the case reports that Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's attorney, may ask in court that Britney Spears' visitation rights "be cut off completely until a trial in April." Stay tuned.

Roger Clemens isn't the only sports star tied to steroids and making news this week - although all that's at stake for him are his Hall of Fame chances.

Marion Jones wishes she was so lucky.

Already stripped of many, many medals over her steroid use, a judge has just sentenced the disgraced Olympic champion to six months in prison.

Jones, 31, had begged a judge to keep her out of the slammer. She was one of the most celebrated female athletes in the world - until, you know, it was revealed she routinely used performance-enhancing drugs. Class.

Recently, Marion Jones admitted to lying to a federal investigator in 2003 and confessed that she took steroids "several times before the Sydney Olympics and continued using it after." You don't say. Great role model, isn't she?

On October 5, Marion Jones formally pled guilty to lying to Federal investigators in the BALCO steroid investigation in U.S. District Court.

At the time of her admission and subsequent guilty plea, Marion Jones was one of the most famous athletes - along with baseball stars Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield - to be linked to the BALCO investigation.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo knows he has to watch out for New York Giants defensive star Michael Strahan on the field when their teams square off this Sunday, but the lineman has Romo's back in other respects.

When asked yesterday what he thought about Romo's South of the Border jaunt with sexy singer Jessica Simpson, Strahan said he'd do the same thing.

"Heck, if Jessica Simpson wanted to date me, I may give her a shot," said the Giants Hall of Fame-bound defensive end, who is recently divorced.

DECEMBER: Jessica Simpson cheered on Tony Romo at Texas Stadium. Normally loyal Dallas fans were livid when he had a terrible game and the Cowboys lost.

Tony's teammate, Terrell Owens, even jokingly chided the quarterback for being distracted by Simpson, who won't be there for the big game Sunday.

As for Michael Strahan, well, he's in Tony Romo's corner.

"I can't blame the guy," Strahan said.

Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port sat down with Extra this week and denied reports that Kristin Cavallari will be joining The Hills.

At least Kristin has Matt Leinart to console her.

Meanwhile, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port are on the unemployment line. Well, LC's reality show, fashion line and endorsement deals aside.

A report from Women's Wear Daily claims that Teen Vogue has decided not to renew its partnership with the MTV hit reality show next season.

Lauren Conrad worked as an intern, while Whitney Port was her West Coast fashion editor. Officials for Teen Vogue and MTV have declined comment.

But a source tells WWD that magazine officials didn't exactly approve of the stars' behavior, which included feuding, clubbing and making out.

"The average age of the magazine's readership is 16 â€" do they really want to support the behavior depicted [in The Hills]?" a source asked.

"They also started to see that newsstand sales were flat ... There was no blip on the radar when Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port were involved."

Insiders say Conrad and Port will be still featured in some sort of working capacity, but not at Teen Vogue. Where they'll work is anyone's guess.

In The Hills season finale, Conrad and Port jetted off to Paris to assist a Teen Vogue editor at a ball. Plenty of footage from the trip will be part of eight "bonus" Hills episodes airing at some point this spring.

Here's the girls' interview ...

UPDATE: "The girls have moved on from Teen Vogue," a spokesperson for the mag said, declining to say whether or not Teen Vogue will be part of the series next time (which almost certainly means it won't be).

Another report says that Lauren Conrad helped increase sales by double digits at Teen Vogue over two years, but MTV is out to mix things up.

Whitney has also reportedly been offered a job at W Magazine. We'll have more information on this for you when it becomes available.

Scottish singer KT Tunstall is engaged to marry her drummer boyfriend, Luke Bullen, after he proposed on Christmas Day.

"Being an opportunist, I obviously said yes," the "Suddenly I See" singer, 32, said according to the U.K.'s The Sun. "It feels smashing."

KT Tunstall's rep confirmed the engagement Friday.

The two are reportedly set to tie the knot later this year.

Singer KT Tunstall and drummer Luke Bullen are engaged!

The singer's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" was nominated for a Grammy in 2007. She won a BRIT award for best British female solo artist in 2006.

"Lose Control" was so 2006. Here's a clip from this Tuesday's One Tree Hill where Kevin Federline plays some random rocker that the girls are checking out... and apparently considering signing to their record label. Really.

A few observations:

1. One Tree Hill? Not at all cheesy.
2. Federline can't really be singing, can he?
3. As much as we'd like to ridicule K-Fed, at least he's trying to make a living and not completely embarrassing himself like Britney Spears.

That's it. Here's the clip...

Yeah, we know. We already profiled these look-alikes.

But when they're spotted at the same place at the same time - the Diamond Information Center and InStyle lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Thursday in Beverly Hills, Calif. - how can we resist an encore presentation?

Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights and Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl are talented, cute actresses who star on two of our favorite shows. So maybe we lump them together for that reason. But there's a resemblance for sure...

Minka Kelly (left) and Leighton Meester both shined Thursday.

The best news of all? We believe both ladies are single! Rumors that Leighton and co-star Chace Crawford were dating have fizzled (as he romances Carrie Underwood), while Minka Kelly just broke up with John Mayer! Nice!
