New Chatter

Mariah Carey recently had an interview with Britain’s OK! magazine. While Madonna and Angelina Jolie would do almost everything for their kids, Mariah says that “It’s hard to have kids in this world. I don’t think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven’t thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack’s company. If I were to have a child, I would want to be married with a stable family environment. Not to say that’s how everyone has to do it but it’s the way I want to do things. My parents divorced when I was young and I’m not saying it was unstable but it’s not ideal either.” Who would want a diva for a mom anyway?

Britney Spears has finally gotten what she’s lacked since January 3 – a visit from her two boys. People is reporting that the fallen pop star got to see her boys on Saturday when they were driven by ex-hubby Kevin Federline’s bodyguard to her Studio City home. And per the conditions of the agreement between her lawyers and KFed’s lawyers, Jamie Spears and a psychiatrist were also present for the visitation which is also said to be in a therapeutic setting. I wonder what she did with the boys. I also wonder whether they got to have any grandpa bonding time.

Britney Spears has finally attended a deposition when she was supposed to. The braless singer and her ‘manager’ Sam Lufti arrived at the offices of Kevin Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan in Los Angeles at 10.45am on Mon and left around 1pm.

Britney, who reportedly spoke in a British accent, gave evidence in the couple’s prolonged child custody battle, answering questions about parenting, her drug and alcohol abuse and her ability to provide adequate care to her two young sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Britney’s attendance at the office follows a series of no-shows at previous appointments and court hearings. Is it a case of better late than never? And what is with the British accent?

Much has been said lately about Katie Holmes’ tour to promote her movie Mad Money. She’s recently arrived in New York but took some time out for family before heading out for work again.

She and husband Tom Cruise took little Suri to FAO Schwarz on Sunday night. They enjoyed a shopping spree, complete with personal shopper.

The parents had as much fun as Suri. Katie says, “We were at FAO Schwarz last night…running around, eating ice cream and playing with all of the toys.”

Makes me think of another toy store’s jingle…I don’t wanna grow up….

Britney Spears has been banned from driving with her young sons in the same car after her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s attorney called an emergency court hearing to question her road skills. Kevin’s lawyer is not a “gangster lawyer”. The whole issue is the safety of the kids. Britney doesn’t seem to care about any of it. she blatantly disregards what she is being asked to do in order to even get back 50/50 custody.She is really messed up and I am beginning to believe the theory that she really does not want the kids. Hell…she just bought a new car that seats 2!I really wish the court would mandate her getting treated at a mental health facility outside of California. Maybe it will also mean that she’ll even stay home now those two days and one overnight she has the kids. Knowing her she’ll just leave them home with a nanny and the monitor and keep going out for her starbuck, gas station, taco bell, target, run etc. But I hope not.

In the last few weeks, Marie Osmond passed out on live television during Dancing with the Stars and mourned the death of her father. Now she is facing her most difficult crisis yet. The singer confirmed Wednesday that her 16-year-old son, Michael, entered rehab last week for undisclosed treatment. Until you folks live her life and know the intimate details of her homelife, it’s really unfair to make such judgmental statements. Whether you like her dancing or not is irrelevant. Whether you like MARIE or not is irrelevant. For heaven’s sake, have a little compassion for a mother and a young man who is troubled! The reasons aren’t for any of us to say and are no one else’s business but Marie, Brian, and their son. Those who judge may find themselves in similar–or worse–circumstances at some point down the line.
