Crap Comeback

Britney Spears' first major performance in three years, at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, has been widely dismissed as a disaster.

The BBC's David Willis said her performance would "go down in the history books as being one of the worst to grace the MTV Awards".

Her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake and R&B star Rihanna were the big winners.
Timberlake took four awards, including top male artist, while Rihanna scooped video of the year for Umbrella.

Spears, who was not nominated for any awards, opened the show dressed in a sequinned bikini and knee-high boots, performing her new single Gimme More.

The performance comes after a year when Spears publicly shaved her head, went into rehab and fought husband Kevin Federline for custody of their two sons.


Media ban for US 'Big Brother' contestants

CBS has banned reporters from interviewing evicted Big Brother 8 contestants for the rest of the season. Originally, all housemates who were being sent to the sequester house after being eliminated from the competition were made available to the media, including CBS's own morning programme, The Early Show.

However, following last week's eviction of cocktail waitress Amber Siyavus Tomcavage, who was heard making anti-Semitic remarks on the live feed, contact with the media has been suspended.


Sharon's Shock
Sharon Osbourne yesterday laid bare the bitter feud at the heart of her family.

The X Factor star is reeling over her brother's claims that she ignored their father's dying wish to be buried next to their mum and backstabs her A-List friends.

David Arden, 56, alleged in a Sunday newspaper that Sharon smeared excrement over Sir Elton John's Rolls-Royce, sought cosmetic surgery during cancer treatment and secretly loathes fellow X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue.
Everyone secretly hopes the one about Elton's Roller is true.
