She did it!
Remember way back when when MTV did a survey asking which Twilight star would first be nominated for an Oscar? Robert Pattinson got half the vote. Anna Kendrick took 1% of the vote. But now Anna is the first, with an Oscar nod for her role in Up in the Air.
Britney Spears violently lashed out at father Jamie Spears following a January 22nd court date concerning his conservatorship, according to the Enquirer. Denied the chance to speak to the judge privately, Spears was reportedly forced to sit silently while doctors said the mother of two was still unable to handle her personal affairs. By the time they returned home, “[Britney's] bodyguards had to physically restrain her from hitting Jamie,” said their source. “It was a terrible scene. Britney was totally out of control.” She also reportedly called ex Kevin Federline saying she wanted to “flee the country with the boys.”
Though Britney was out and about at the Grammys last weekend (though closely watched by boyfriend/agent Jason Trawick), the tab’s source paints a picture of Spears smashing surveillance equipment in bedroom her while a guard posted by her father stands guard outside 24 hours a day to keep her from leaving. If relations between Spears and her minders are as tense as being claimed, this issue shouldn’t take long to become a public affair.

Moving to Utah won’t save Jon Gosselin from the crapstorm he left in NYC. According to Radar, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office plans to summon JoGo back to the Big Apple and have him answer questions about the criminal report filed against ex Hailey Glassman, accused of ransacking his apartment and stabbing an angry note to his dresser with a kitchen knife (Glassman denied the accusations). “The more [the police] looked into it, the more they’ve felt like it was a publicity stunt on Jon’s part,” says their source. “They absolutely thought the butcher knife part of it was complete ‘B.S.’—something out of a bad B movie!” Hey, “bad B movies” would actually be a step up for JoGo these days.
“This is serious stuff if the D.A.’s office wants to speak to him directly. And if he refuses to voluntarily show, they could make it difficult for him and issue a subpoena—basically, forcing him to appear.” Finally, an interview TLC can’t shut down! “The D.A. doesn’t like people filing false police reports and they could certainly make him an example.” Looks like this year could be even worse for daddy dearest than 2009 was.

Obnoxious blogger Perez Hilton recently reported on his typo-filled “fashion website,” CoCo Perez, that Noah Cyrus is launching a line of children’s lingerie with her best pal Emily Grace. As we dug around the site belonging to the line’s designer, Ooh! La, La! Couture, we found nothing that even resembled lingerie, nor did we see any mention of Miley‘s little sister as a partner. So we did a little investigative reporting and called up their office. Perez and his blog slaves should try it sometime!
The good news: Perez’s story is “completely false.” Those words come directly from Jennifer, one of the line’s co-founders. In our brief chat she described her and her partner as “stay at home moms who have daughters.” As for CoCo Perez’s story that they’re responsible for making sexy kids clothes? “We never, never imagined making a line of children’s lingerie. It’s not it the pipelines.”
Oh! La, La! makes cute tutu dresses, and the line is being done with Noah’s BFF Emily Grace, who is a Disney Channel actress and a frequent companion of Noie’s on the red carpet. It’s called “The Emily Grace Collection” and the main purpose of the line (according to their site) is to “promote and raise awareness for her foundation, ‘Lollipops and Rainbows.’” Adds Emily’s publicist Terri Tex, “Noah is not involved in designing the line, but is supporting Emily.”
The pair often wears the dresses on the Noie and Em Show, and they’re cute, appropriate and definitely not lingerie. Nice try Perez! We’d say “stay classy!” but we’re guessing that’s not even possible at this point.

Well, that’s one way to forget Sarah Marshall. Old co-stars Russell Brand and Jason Segel locked lips at the Stand For Haiti concert in LA yesterday, a benefit featuring Tenacious D, The Shins, Aimee Mann and Black Francis of The Pixies. Too bad Jack Black didn’t get in on this, right?
Considering Katy Perry‘s enthusiasm for same-sex flirtation, the smooch probably guarantees Segel a spot at their wedding, which the comedian has joked might be clothing-optional. “We are going to do the wedding naked! All the families will be naked! We’re still deciding what to do.” Judging from his revealing performance in Marshall, Segel shouldn’t have any qualms if they do decide to go nude.

Leif Garrett was arrested for possession at a Metro station in LA on Monday, according to TMZ. A teen heartthrob in the mid-’70s, Garrett is arguably better known today for his battles with alcohol and drug abuse, chronicled in a legendary episode of VH1′s Behind The Music. Though he claimed to be nearly three years sober in the 1999 program, he was arrested for drugs again only months after it aired, and again in 2005. In 2006, Garrett served 90 days in prison for when cops found heroin on him after he tried to ride the Metro without a ticket. The actor was reportedly released from police custody earlier today, with a court date scheduled later this month.

You could be forgiven for assuming Simon Cowell‘s upcoming American version of his hit British talent show, The X Factor, won’t be any different than the show he’s leaving, American Idol. But “Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby),” the debut video from Jedward, twin brothers who made it to week 7 on the UK series’ 2009 season, makes painfully clear Simon’s program will offer more than just wanna-be Kelly Clarksons and Kris Allens. Along with the young solo dreamers we’re used to, The X Factor lets a number of older singers and groups compete as well. Imagine, on American Idol, these guys would have never been allowed to sing together, denying us the sight of two massive pompadours bouncing to a mash-up of Queen and Vanilla Ice (who raps in the video as well). Who knows what freaks Simon will find in America once he doesn’t have to play by Idol‘s rules? You’ve been warned.
Get a better look at the magic that is Jedward in the gallery below.
Pamela Anderson was left with egg on her boobs when only 20 people attended a launch party for her A*Muse fashion line in Miami Beach yesterday. Why the lack of enthusiasm? Was it designs like the dress she wore to the event? Come on, what lady doesn’t want to wear a dress that magically hikes its skirt up and curls its neckline down for you? Imagine the time you’ll save on that weekend bender! It only cost $25 to see the show, and for a measly $19,975 to $49,975 more, you could get the “VIP Penthouse Package” and party personally with Pamela! You wouldn’t have to worry about getting her attention, either—there apparently wouldn’t have been much competition for it. No wonder she’s thinking about moving to the UK.

If Ava Jackman doesn’t win Happiest Kid Alive, she should at very least should be nominated. Hugh Jackman took his four-year-old daughter on a walk around Greenwich Village yesterday, where she enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich in her stroller before earning a piggyback ride—much to her obvious delight. Not that she’s greedy, though—one of her friends got a piggyback ride from 2008′s Sexiest Man Alive, too. Watch the good times in the gallery below.

Ok, yes. Mel Gibson called Chicago entertainment reporter Dean Richards an “a–hole” at WGN-TV yesterday. But let’s acknowledge the circumstances that led to the Edge Of Darkness star’s profanity.
