Britney Spears Dancers Ordered Not to Give Her Drugs, Alcohol
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Child Stars, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues,
While Britney Spears may have finally made her true comeback, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) handed out to her dancers proves that the Princess of Pop is still not in control of her own life.
In the document, a dancer "acknowledges that it is essential that [Britney] not be exposed to any alcohol, drugs, or controlled substances." The NDA goes on to read that dancers could face random drug tests; if they fail or refuse to take them, they risk losing their job.
Partying sober with Britney Spears? Talk about a paradox!
She may be 29 years-old, but her management finds it necessary to treat her like a 9 year-old; even Miley Cyrus gets more freedom than Britney.

Pete Doherty Sparks Nazi Row
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk,
In what was most likely a drug-induced action, Pete Doherty infuriated fans at German music festival by singing the banned Nazi verse of the national anthem.
The rocker took to the stage at the Munich event last Saturday and launched into a rendition of “Deutschlandlied” (translated: “The Song of Germany”). As soon as fans heard the first verse - which has been banned since the end of World War II because of its use during the Nazi regime by Adolf Hitler and its reference to racial superiority - they began to jeer and heckle Pete.
His performance was allowed to continue for five more songs before organizers made him leave the stage and the live radio broadcast was cut, prompting Pete to hurl his microphone at the concert’s host.
A statement released by the organizers said, “As the British say, ‘We are not amused.’ Unfortunately, it was unforeseeable. Live is live.”
Only the third verse of the national anthem is allowed to be sung in Germany. The first stanza of the anthem translates as, “Germany, Germany above all / Above all in the world. When, for protection and defence, it always takes a brotherly stand together. / From the Meuse to the Memel, From the Adige to the Belt, Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world.”

Supermodel Kate Moss led a conga line through a Take That concert on Wednesday night.
The supermodel laughed and giggled as she directed a line of dancing partygoers around the Tabernacle venue, in London’s Notting Hill, to the Dirty Dancing track “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” while her celebrity friends - including model Pixie Geldof - watched on in amusement.
Once the 35-year-old beauty reached the dancefloor she began dancing the Macarena with her pals. The celebrity revellers were joined at the PlayStation3 SingStar Take That Extravaganza by hundreds of other guests who turned out to support the band as they launched their karaoke computer game and promote the HIV charity Body and Soul.
Take That - Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - teamed-up with British comic James Corden for a rendition of their 2007 hit “Rule The World.” The band got a little emotional as they told the crowd the evening reminded them of the intimate concerts they used to perform when they first started out.
In celebration of Take That’s 19-year long career, some of Britain’s newest stars - including Paloma Faith, Taio Cruz and Speech Debelle - also took to the stage to entertain the audience with their versions of the band’s hit records.

Mariah Carey’s Pee-formance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rants,
Determined to never let her fans down, Mariah Carey took to the stage soaked in wee after her dog urinated on her.
The 40-year-old singer was devastated when Jack Russell terrier Cha Cha had an accident as she was getting ready to perform.
Mariah wrote on her Twitter page, “OK so Cha Cha just peed on the floor in my dressing room and then decided to jump on top of me as I am doing my make-up. ‘Real classy’ here. It is believed Mariah was practicing for her upcoming shows when the toilet trouble occurred.
The “Obsessed” singer’s husband Nick Cannon gave her the mutt to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary in May.
Mariah is not the first celebrity to suffer the embarrassment of an animal urinating on her. Katy Perry was mortified when a monkey relieved itself on her during a magazine shoot: “Jeremy Scott is one of my all time favorites, and he shot the pictures while I got to prance around in his creations. I had a chimp on set with me that day. Fun fact, she peed all over me, I had to take a shower in the middle of shooting.”

The 36-year-old star revealed in New! magazine:
“Over the last few weeks I have been in regular contact with La Toya Jackson about some kind of tribute for her brother, Michael. Everyone who knows me knows how much I idolized Michael and how much his music influenced me, so I feel really honored to be part of this. There isn’t anything quite set in stone yet but we have four or five ideas, including a tribute concert or a TV special. La Toya is flying to the UK next week, so we are going to meet up and hopefully put our ideas into action. La Toya is one of the few Jacksons I haven’t met yet, so I am really looking forward to spending some time with her.”
