Great news, everybody: Britney Spears will not be performing at this year's VMAs. HURRAY! Her manager Larry Rudolph wants everyone to know Britney is very serious about her album and won't be reprising her now infamous Jiggly Girl dance, according to the AP:

"Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform on this year's VMAs," Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager at Jive Records, said in a statement. "She's in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio."

Justin Timberlake will be reuniting with Britney Spears for a duet on her new album, Page Six reports:

Spies said Spears will team up with her ex-love for a song on her next album due at the end of the year. The two were supposed to team up for her last album, but Spears - under the influence of friends including Osama Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib - missed her recording session with Timbaland at the legendary producer's Virginia Beach studio last August.

He Kexin surrender your uneven bars gold medal to Nastia Liukin!

There's MORE proof that the Chinese lied!

The Times of London reports that a very determined hacker has uncovered official Chinese state documents that 'prove' He Kexin is NOT 16, the age a gymnast must turn this year in order to compete in the Olymipcs.

The hacker found spreadsheets compiled by the General Administration of Sport of China. On said spreadsheets, He's date of birth is listed as January 1, 1994 – making her 14 years and 220 days old. So not 16 and not eligible to compete.

Duh!

The hacker said, "Much of the coverage regarding Kexin’s age has only mentioned ‘allegations’ of fraud, and the IOC has ignored thematter completely. I believe that these primary documents, issued by the Chinese state … rise to a level of evidence higher than ‘allegation’.”

Is the Olympic committee really going to sit back and let the Chinese get away with cheating?

Surprised that the world of gymnastics isn't more pissed off.

We hope the London 2012 committee won't turn a blind eye to gymnastics cheating!!

Jessica Simpson and beer commercials: Why hasn't this happened sooner? Jessica, in her first logical career move ever, is going to be the face of new Dallas' Stampede Light Plus, according to the Dallas Morning News:

"She's the face of the brand now," said Lawrence Schwartz, Stampede's president and chief executive, who says sales have more than doubled in the past year.
Stampede's marketing is focused on its vitamin content, which it describes as "functional additives."
"As an entrepreneur, I am always looking for ways to diversify my portfolio with good ideas and good people," Ms. Simpson said in a statement. "Yes, I work out and take care of myself, but I also like a cold beer once in a while."

Chris Kattan and his model wife of two months are already throwing in the towel. But, yet, they don't plan to divorce which would puzzle me if I weren't too busy trying to figure out where the hell all the real celebrities are hiding today. Us Magazinereports:

After just eight weeks of marriage, Saturday Night Live alum Chris Kattan and his wife, model Sunshine Tutt, have split.
"Separated for the moment. No plans for divorce at this time," his rep tells Usmagazine.com.

I guess you could say, "The honeymoon is over." A ha ha ha! But, no, seriously, I'm sure the roofies just wore off. They'll be fine.

With all the recent media attention surrounding Olympic swimmer and record breaker Michael Phelps, it was only a matter of time before people started asking about his personal life.

And now the world wants to know if he's dating anyone.

Like perhaps Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard?

When asked by TV's Extra if he was dating Amanda, Phelps responded, "No, I'm not dating Amanda Beard. I'll say that. I think she has a boyfriend."

Is he just being coy?

When directly asked if he's single, Phelps said, "Part of my life is kept to myself. I'm able to relax and be with my friends. Those pretty much are the only people who really know the answer to that question."

Looks like his friends will be getting interviewed pretty soon!

And when told that Carrie Underwood has a crush on him, all Phelps said was "That's the first I've heard of that. That's pretty cool."

As for his favorite female celeb, that would be Cameron Diaz.

When asked who would play his leading leading in a movie about his life, he responded, "Cameron Diaz seems pretty cool. She seems like she has a cool personality. "

With the amount of money he's going to be making soon, we doubt he'll have any problem picking up any girls. 

Phelps is said to be taking in an estimated $40-100 MILLION in endorsements thanks to his wins and popularity now.

But, he adds, "It's not about the money. I love what I do. The one thing I'm really looking forward to doing is raising the bar in the sport of swimming and promoting it…to get new faces involved in the sport."

You gotta have balls of steel to be a journalist in China.

According to a new report, several Chinese reporters covering the stabbing death of a U.S. volleyball coach's father-n-law had their notebooks and at least one tape recorder confiscated after a news conference held by Team U.S.A. Volleyball. The players had been discussing the impact of the murder on the team.

Government confiscation of notebooks and equipment is a common occurrence for Chinese journalists covering protests or other 'undesirable activities', but it was supposedly the first time this has happened at an Olympic venue.

Also, the Chinese appear so intent on painting nothing but rosy pictures around the Games. The word Olympics is not uttered anywhere in the local coverage of the U.S. volleyball coach's murdered father-in-law.

Reports center on the death of "an American tourist" without any mention that the 'tourist' was in Beijing for the Olympics.

We give thanks every day that we have the freedoms that we do in our country.

Does this look like her????

Nick Jonas won't be too pleased about this, but we sure loves it!

Miley Cyrus opened up wide to the new issue of Seventeen magazine about her ex-boyfriend Nick!

Yes, after playing coy, she finally admits Nick is her ex!!

"We became boyfriend and girlfriend the day we met. He was on a quest to meet me, and he was like, 'I think you're beautiful and I really like you.' And I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, I like you so much.'"

"Nick and I loved each other. We still do, but we were in love with each other. For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn't fun."

After they broke up at the end of 2007, Cyrus tells Seventeen, "At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black. When we were dating, Nick wanted me to get highlights – and so I did that, and I got myself looking great. And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, I want to make my hair black now – I don't want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be. And then I was like, I've got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am."

She did it AGAIN!

The smash single of the summer, Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl, is the #1 song in America once more.

This makes it SEVEN weeks in a row at the top spot!

I Kissed A Girl could end up being the biggest single of the entire year, if it keeps up at this pace.

Other HIGHlights from the Billboard 100:

Rihanna has not one but TWO entries in the top 5, with Disturbia climbing up to #3 and Take A Bow sliding down to #4.

Coldplay are in at #5 with Viva La Vida.

The Jonas Brothers debuted on the top 10 this week with Tonight, bolstered mainly by digital downloads.

And, the Pussycat Dolls came in at #9 with When I Grow Up.

Congrats to all!

Man Calls 911 For Incorrect Subway Order

You can bet a Jacksonville, Florida man wishes he had just paid the five-bucks for a foot long at Subway.

Instead, he was charged with making a false 911 call.

Reginald Peterson ordered a Spicy Italian Sub with the works.

Sandwich artists put mayo on mustard on it, but no sauce. That put Peterson over the edge and he called 911 to complain.

He called a second time to complain officers weren't arriving fast enough.

Subway workers told police the 42-year-old became belligerent and yelled when they were fixing his order.

They locked him out of the store when he left to call police.

When officers arrived, they tried to calm Peterson and explain the proper use of 911. Those efforts failed, and he was arrested on a charge of making false 911 calls.

Fresh-faced NYC bachelors beware!

According to new reports, a reality series called Cougars: NYC is in the works.

The show will feature five cougar 'hotties' living the glam life in the NYC — with guys 10-plus years their junior.

Producers have picked three ladies so far — an R&B singer, a radio ad exec, and a VP of a medical sales company.

A casting call for the other two women will be held in the Lower East Side on August 20th.

Maybe Linda Hogan will dump her boy toy for another shot at reality fame.

The latest on Morgan Freeman's big car wreck on Sunday night.

Ouch!

Bad news everybody: Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have broken up. Who saw that coming?  It turns out the two couldn't stop arguing and finally decided to throw in the towel, according to Page Six:

Hudson made a last-ditch effort last week, traveling to see her beau in Ohio for his Livestrong Summit, but "they both decided it wasn't feasible," a friend said. Another spy said the couple had a big blowout a week ago and Armstrong stormed off - "They didn't talk for like five days."
