Kevin Federline Sends Britney Best Wishes

As was recently reported Britney Spears recently got engaged to her longtime parter, Jason Trawick.  In fact, Britney was spotted wearing her new engagement ring over the weekend.

Following the announcement of his ex-wife’s new engagement Kevin reportedly told Australia’s TV Week “I’m really happy for her — I think he’s a great guy.”

Kevin, known as K-Fed, is in Australia filming the weight loss reality show “Excess Baggage”.  He also reportedly said “She’s happy; she’s doing really well. I want to say she’s in a good place.”

He said “I haven’t spoken to her much since I’ve been over here — both of us have been busy with her being on tour — but I do know from talking to the kids and talking to the kids’ teachers that they’re doing really good. It’s a good step in the right direction. I’m totally happy for her.”

It’s no surprise that K-Fed had nice things to say about Brit’s new engagement.  The divorced couple who went through some really rough times together have seemed to make peach with each other.  At one point Kevin reportedly joined Britney on tour to look after their two young sons.

K-Fed is often spotted with his two sons by Britney as well as the new baby he has with his  current partner, Victoria.  Don’t be surprised if K-Fed, who split with Britney in 2007, might get an invite to Brit and Jason’s wedding.

It’s nice that the couple have been able to make peace for the same of their two boys.Kevin Federline Sends Britney Best Wishes

Jane Fonda In Hollywood

Jane Fonda’s Plastic Surgery Regrets

Jane Fonda is 73 years old.  When you hit your 70s, no matter how much care you take of your skin, you start to look your age.  It happens.  Your choice?  Accept it or fight it with injectibles or plastic surgery.

Jane was determined to accept aging gracefully and never to bow down to the pressures to have plastic surgery.  She even make a fairly public pledge that she wouldn’t get it done and talked about her resolve.

But that was then.  Jane is still very active in her career and has recently snagged a big new role on HBO.  To keep her edge as an older actress competing for limited roles she has to look her very best.  At the same time she doesn’t want to look artificial.

Jane decided after weighing all her options to go ahead and have plastic surgery but with a caveat.  She told her plastic surgeon she wanted to keep her crow’s feet to avoid looking artificial.  Jane wanted to look refreshed, but natural and still be able to play women in her age bracket.

On a recent Rosie Show appearance she discussed her decision to go under the knife and why she’s not proud of herself.  Jane feels badly about going back on her public promise not to have plastic surgery.

Jane explained the turning point which led to her decision, “I was walking down the street and I saw a reflection of myself in the window and it scared me, because I feel so good and I look so tired.”

Even still, she only had minimal work done,  requesting to remove the bags from under her eyes and to have a little nip and tuck just underneath her chin.   “I’m not proud of it at all,” Jane said of her procedures. “I wish I was braver.”

And the 7.0 million viewers overall is “SNL’s” biggest audience since that May 21 telecast.

The 2.5 rating in adults 18-49 for the December 10 edition of “Saturday Night Live” topped every Saturday non-sports primetime telecast on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox since January 16, 2010.

Kobe And Vanessa Bryant

Alyson Hanningan And Alexis

Alyson Hannigan Pregnant Again

The How I Met Your Mother” star Alyson Hannigan, 37, has finally confirmed that she’s pregnant again.  Oddly enough she was recently a guest on Ellen’s daytime talk show and claimed that all the rumors about her pregnancy were wrong.

The actress even told Ellen that she had been photographed on a day where she had pigged out and her stomach was swollen from all the goodies she had stuffed down.

It sounded like a good story at the time, but it was just that, a tall tale.   What will Ellen have to say about Alyson lying on her show?  I guess only time will tell if Ellen manages to get Alyson back on her show while she’s still pregnant.

Ironically Alyson’s character on the TV show is also pregnant so this time she won’t have to hide it like she did with her first baby.

Alyson’s rep told Us Weekly “Alyson is thrilled to be pregnant!” a source close to the star tells Us Weekly. “She’s been wearing baggy clothes to cover the baby bump.”

On Thursday, the actress was photographed chatting on her cellphone in Santa Monica, Calif., wearing jeans, a vest and a thin red crocheted sweater — tight enough to reveal an undeniable baby bump.  Definitely more than a day of big eating.

Alyson and her husband Alexis Denisof met on the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.   They’ve been married since 2003 and have a daughter Satyana who is aged 2.

Courtney Love

Courtney Love Getting Evicted In New York

Depending whom you talk to Courtney Love has had quite an interesting life with lots of ups and downs.  The widow of Kurt Cobain is now dealing with a whole new challenges.  According to the media, she’s being evicted from her current NYC apartment because she supposedly redid the wallpaper without the owner’s permission.

Also, she supposedly set the walls on fire and other assorted actions.  Her landlord, Donna Lyon has arranged for a court date and Courtney’s fighting back.

According to Courtney she hasn’t fallen behind on the rent.  She said “I have been paying month to month as agreed. My rent is current, but the owner is now asking for the remaining two months upfront. Even thought it’s not required, I’d happily pay that and another six months’ rent if she would extend the lease for six months.”

Court also says that while she did redo the walls, she asked for the owner’s permission and even used a painter approved by Donna!

Insiders to the situation are accusing Donna of just making a “big to-do” about nothing to draw publicity in hopes of selling more real estate.

Is this possible?  When it comes to Courtney Love anything is possible.  She is famous for getting into feuds with all sorts of people including her deceased husband Curt, her daughter, her family and a range of boyfriends over the years.  Is it surprising she’s fighting with her landlord?  But you never know.  Maybe Court is innocent this time.
