Britney Spears Talks Sex, Plastic Surgery and Gay Marriage
OUT Magazine
Just when you think you know everything there is to know about Britney Spears, the pop princess goes and has a chat with Out magazine.
And let me tell ya, it's a good thing. Read on to find out what Brit told the gay magazine about sex, plastic surgery, gay marriage and so much more...
Now 29 years old and the mother of two boys, Spears says her mom taught her about the birds and the bees when she was 12 years old. "I was confused and disgusted," she admits.
Her idea of hell is being on a diet, she'll probably consider plastic surgery "when it's time to pull and tuck" and if she wasn't a singer, she might have become...an attorney?!
"I was in seventh grade and it was career day and I remember thinking that I wanted to be an entertainment lawyer," Spears said. "I always knew I would be in this business somehow. I think this path worked out way better."
Spears isn't about to switch teams. Asked if there are any women who could make her think twice about being straight, Spears said, "I only have eyes for men."
If one of her sons turned out to be gay, no problem. "I love my boys no matter what.," she said.
And she said of gay marriage, "I think everyone should be treated equally."
Phil Collins leaves music industry to be full-time dad
Phil Collins leaves music industry to be full-time dad
Phil Collins, who has sold more than 150 million records, says he is retiring because he wants to spend more time with family.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
He releases a statement to clarify recent media speculation over his career
The 60-year-old dad says he is retiring to devote more time to his family
Collins has sold more than 150 million records in his 40-plus years
(CNN) -- Phil Collins, the man behind 1980s albums such as "No Jacket Required," has announced his retirement from music, but no straitjacket required, he says.
In a statement on his website, the 60-year-old dad said he is retiring to devote more time to his family and be a full-time father to his two young sons.
His statement was a bid to clarify recent media speculation, which he said painted him as battling health issues and feeling like an outsider in the music industry.
The articles painted "a picture of me that is more than a little distorted," he said on his website. "None of this is true. Thanks ... But there's no need for the straitjacket!"
The actor, pop star and former Genesis drummer said he was surprised by the articles because he had not talked to the media for months.
Collins has sold more than 150 million records in his 40-plus years in the music business.
"I'm not stopping because of dodgy reviews or bad treatment in the press," he said. "I'm not stopping because I don't feel loved; I know I still have a very large fan base that loves what I do. Thank you."
He cited an example of his album released last year, which topped the U.K. charts.
"I'm not stopping because I don't fit in, this was proved with "Going Back" ... doing incredibly well worldwide. I'm not stopping so I can dive full time into my interest for the Alamo."
That last reference is aimed at comments he has reportedly made claiming to see spirits in modern photos from the fort, and to have spoken with a psychic who told him he was reincarnated from a man who fought in the battle.
But he does have a huge collection of memorabilia from the battle stashed at his Switzerland home.
"Some of the things mentioned above have been said by me in various interviews, but said as asides with a smile on my face and in passing. They were not meant to be headlines, they were small parts of a conversation," he said.
He said the reports have made him "sound like a tormented weirdo who thinks he was at the Alamo in another life, who feels very sorry for himself, and is retiring hurt because of the bad press over the years."
None of that is true, he said.
The British singer and drummer has also written songs for the Disney feature films "Tarzan" and "Brother Bear."
Sienna Miller has been working some chic casual ensembles recently whilst leaving the theatre as she rehearses for her new play. However, it was this striped knit which really caught my eye. Sienna wore the grungey jumper with skinny jeans giving us a lesson on how to easily add colour to your wardrobe. You can shop these by clicking on the images above. Do you like this look on Sienna?
After a brief detour onto mens editions of Who Wore It Better? were back to Awards Season polls.
My second favourite newcomer of the year was Jennifer Lawrence.
The Winters Bone nominated actress was totally fearless on the red carpet.
She favoured Oscar de la Renta and Prabal Gurung this season as she wore them both twice, but her most daring choice was her Louis Vuitton gown which was my favourite look from her this season.

Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron and Jeff Bridges pose as Disney characters for campaign
Disney is launching a Let the Memories Begin campaign to promote their multiple theme parks and they have gotten famous photographer Annie Liebovitz to photograph some pretty familiar faces posing as some of our favorite Disney characters. Not all of them are shown below, but they are some of the better ones and include: Jeff Bridges and Penelope Cruz in a scene from Beauty and the Beast, Queen Latifah as the sea witch Ursula, Julianne Moore and Michael Phelps in The Little Mermaid, Gisele Bündchen, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Tina Fey in Peter Pan, Alec Baldwin and Olivia Wilde in Snow White and finally Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens in Sleeping Beauty. More photos can be viewed from the link below.
This isnt something we normally post, but these photos are truly breathtaking and just so beautifully shot. Love them or hate them, Disney knows marketing and this is one heck of a campaign.
Gaga reportedly pulled out because she doesn't agree with Target's corporate policies on political donations and how they impact the gay community, according to The Advocate.
"Lady Gaga and Target came to a mutual decision to end their overall exclusive partnership a few weeks ago," a rep for the singer tells me.
Gaga raised eyebrows among her gay fans when she announced that Target would be releasing an exclusive edition of her new album, Born This Way. Target came under fire from gay groups just months before because it donated to MN Forward, a political action committee that supported Tom Emmer, an antigay politician who made an unsuccessful 2010 run for governor of Minnesota.
Gaga had said she had signed off on her deal after meeting with Target executives.
"That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I've ever had in a business meeting," Gaga told Billboard magazine about three weeks ago. "Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they've made in the past...our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they've made supporting those groups."
No word on what went down since that interview took place, but I'm told Target has refused to promise that it would never donate to a political candidate or group believed to be antigay.
Reps for Target did not immediately comment for this story.
Will You Wear Chanel's Latest Nail Shade in Mimosa?
Will You Wear Chanel's Latest Nail Shade in Mimosa?
Pictures are out, and so I must talk about the latest 'it' lacquer from Chanel called Le Vernis Nail Colour in Mimosa that is set to launch this April as part of the Spring 2011 collection.
It's bright, sexy, daring and something we've seen on A-list stars like Rihanna, Katy Perry and even Natalie Portman in the past couple of Spring/Summers in shiny opaques. However, this yellow shade is more like the bubbly it's named after (in the UK, we also call this orange juice, champy mix a buck's fizz) as it contains flecks of green and gold shimmer too. I'm excited for a Sunday brunch mimosa cocktail wearing Chanel Mimosa how about you?

Max Iron Talks About Rob âHeâs Been Gifted and Cursedâ
Max Iron Talks About Rob Hes Been Gifted and Cursed
Max Irons may be being compared to Robert Pattinson but the Red Riding Hood star reckons R-Patz has been gifted and cursed with fame.
The son of acting couple Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack hit the red carpet in Hollywood to premiere the new thriller in which he plays Amanda Seyfrieds love interest.
Having been cast and directed in the movie by Twilights Catherine Hardwicke, Max confessed he takes any Pattinson comparisons as a compliment.
Well Roberts a lovely actor, [but] this is a different beast to the film that shall not be named! he joked, before adding: You know, I think hes been gifted and cursed.
The 25-year-old explained: All you want to be able to do as an actor is work and to be able to focus on the work. For lack of a better term, the celebrity is consequential and all you should be doing is focusing on the quality of your work and kind of, I think, ignoring the rest of it.
If I can do that and have a long, long career and not a short, short career thats all I want.
Robert by the way is going to have a long, long career, Max added. I have a feeling about that because hes English!
Image Credit: Sergei Bachlakov/ABCIts official: The Fifth Column is the single worst rebellion in the history of human rebellions. On last nights episode of V, they had a big idea: Sabotage Concordia, and thus prove to the rest of humanity that Visitor technology isnt the greatest thing ever. Sid the Lab Tech came up with the brilliant idea of overloading Concordias big Blue Energy balls with some tiny Blue Energy balls. His explanation: You ever stick a fork in an electrical socket when you were a kid? Same idea. Meltdown! Nobody seemed to think that sticking an incredibly unstable fork in a magnificently powerful electrical socket might have a downside. Turns out, the Fifth Column plan wouldve destroyed, like, the entire eastern seaboard. So the Fifth Column ended up heroically rescuing humanity from the Fifth Column. When the resulting energy surge caused a blackout, the Visitors used their energy to turn the lights back on, thus proving yet again that Visitor technology is, in fact, the greatest thing ever.
Because they clearly hadnt done enough to end the human race forever, the Fifth Column also took some time out of their busy schedule to muzzle the only anti-Visitor voice in the media. Anna didnt like how Chads mouthy co-anchor was turning people against the spooky aliens in the sky. So Chad pulled the ol pre-Newscast Backstab, telling Kerry that he had a hot tip from a mysterious source inside the Justice Department that the Visitors actually caused the blackout. Kerry repeated this hot tip on air two seconds later, without any attempt at confirmation. Naturally, she was fired. (This is exactly how Eliot Spitzer got rid of Kathleen Parker, according to my source at the Justice Department.)
So, in just about 24 hours, the anti-V rebellion almost killed millions of people, handed the enemy a huge PR victory, and got rid of the only person on any cable news networks who occasionally expressed vaguely snarky disapproval of the Visitors. For comparison, imagine if the Rebel Alliance spent the first Star Wars movie* blowing up Alderaan, killing Luke Skywalker, and accidentally creating four extra Death Stars for the Empire, and you have some vague sense about just how inefficient the Fifth Column have been this season. Every attempt we have made to take down Anna has failed, deadpanned Erica. Dear Fifth Column: Maybe you guys should just be a book club or something.
Considering it was the penultimate episode of this season of V, I was surprised by how low-key the episode felt. Anna had a new-new-new-new-new plan for dominating humanity: Using her Bliss to brainwash everybody all across the world. This worked, for some reason, but it makes her cry blood, for some reason. I guess she lost interest in the Quest to Remove the Human Soul. (At one point last night, Diana said, The human soul can never be removed. It is a fools errand! Do you ever get the feeling that Vs writers really hate each other, and are expressing that hatred in character dialogue?)
Also, Doctor Joshua magically remembered his Fifth Columnite past just in time to save Lisa. Kudos to Mark Hildreth for somehow maintaining his actorly dignity even as the director no doubt screamed from offscreen, More remembering, Mark! More remembering!!! There have been quite a few missed chances in this season of V I cant believe Jane Badler is still in that freakin sewer but its always been strange to me that they kept Doctor Joshua around just to turn him into another lame background Visitor. Lets hope he has something to do in next weeks season finale.
Viewers, what did you think of the episode? Is the Fifth Column their own worst enemy? Are you holding out hope for next weeks season finale?
*Yes, Star Wars is still the first Star Wars movie. No, we do not refer it as A New Hope. A New Hope is not the name of an awesome movie. A New Hope is the title of a pseudo-scientific self-help book that you keep hidden in the bathroom because you are aware that it is a stupid book with a silly title
