BRITNEY'S L.A. HOME GOING ON THE MARKET

Jamie Spears, who has legal control of his pop star daughter Britney's interests, reportedly is planning to sell her hilltop Studio City, Calif., home.

Spears' father was granted conservatorship over his daughter's affairs after she was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment earlier this year. He reportedly will retain that control until a July 31 hearing.

People.com said it is not clear where the singer is to live once her high-profile house is sold.

But a source close to Britney Spears told the entertainment news Web site, Having more privacy and wide open spaces for her to raise her boys has been a goal for some time.

Spears is the mother of two toddler-age sons with her ex-husband Kevin Federline. Federline has temporary physical and legal custody of the children, while Spears has several monitored visits with them a week.

SWIZZ BEATS DENIES THAT ALICIA KEYS

WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS MARRIAGE ENDING

Rumors have been goin' on for a hot minute about Alicia and Swizz...but they both had/have signif' others...here, we find that Swizz is still living that that state...

The beatmaker - real name Kaseem Dean - announced he and his R&B singer wife Mashonda were splitting in April.

Rumors have since surfaced online suggesting Keys was involved in the break-up, but Swizz insists that is far from the truth.

He tells MTV.com, "That s*** just looks like drama. They got another big name involved. Only thing I'm commenting on is music-related. I don't comment on my personal life. Why start now? You start commenting on that s***, then they start twisting it out. I'm not gonna speak about nothing.

"I'm not hiding anything. I can see if I was hiding something. I'm a grown man. Nobody is living no perfect life... Nobody wants to look at that s***. They wanna look at Alicia Keys. That s*** is ignorant."

And Swizz has further played down reports of a rift between him and his ex by revealing they are still on good terms.

FIF (50 CENT FOR YOU SLOW PEOPLE):

"I'M NOT MARRIED TO CIARA"

Fiddy's always got some 'ol bullshit surrounding him about this, that, or the other...well at this point we have a new piece...His alleged marriage to Ciara...

Gossip sites went crazy after footage of 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, wearing a wedding band first appeared online.

But his spokeswoman insists the rap star plays a married man in his new film Microwave Park, and the photos come from the Louisiana set.

But that hasn't stopped gossips from claiming the ring is a sure sign that the "In Da Club" hitmaker and "Goodies" singer Ciara are man and wife.

50 has been romantically linked to Ciara after the pair posed topless for their video "Can't Leave 'Em Alone" last year.

But a spokesperson for 50 insists the rapper is not a married man.

A statement reads: "50 Cent is not engaged or married. He is currently in production on a film where the character he plays is married."

Last year Ciara denied the romance rumors, insisting the rapper was "a really great friend," and adding, "Everybody turns everything into something else.

"They said we have a ranch in Atlanta. I just died laughing. It's amazing to hear the things people make up. It's funny."

WOMAN SUES OVER DEFECTIVE THONG

Los Angeles (KFI-AM) - A 52 year old Los Angeles woman is suing Victoria Secret after she claims a decorative piece from a thong flew off the underwear, and hit her in the eye.

Macrida Patterson says she was hurt by the defective "low-rise v-string." She filed a lawsuit last week in Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to Patterson's lawyer, a "design problem" lead to the decorative piece coming off, and striking Patterson in the eye.

The woman alleges her cornea was damaged, and had to miss a few days of work. Patterson is a traffic officer with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation.

Her attorney also claims missing those days of work will be "affecting her the rest of her life."

The complaint did not specify monetary damages sought.

MAN PAYS ALIMONY AFTER HIS EX HAS A SEX CHANGE

A Florida man resents paying alimony to his ex-wife, now that his ex-wife is a man.

"I didn't marry a man. I didn't divorce a man. The law is making me pay to a man," Larry Roach told WSTB-TV in Tampa.

Roach said that he wishes the former Julia Roach -- now Julio Silverwolf -- luck. But he resents paying $1,250 a month to maintain Julio's gender identity.

The couple met on a blind date and married a few months later. He said that he wondered why his wife had cut her hair short, her voice had deepened and she needed to shave.

But he said he only realized his wife had a new sex-changed identity when she got into an accident after their divorce and he looked up the police report. He discovered that she was now Julio.

Roach has remarried and would like to get out from under his alimony payments. But a judge told him that legally his ex-wife is still entitled to them.

JAPAN MAKES ROBOT FOR LONELY MEN...LOL

TOKYO (Reuters)- She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.

A Japanese firm has produced a 15 inch tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around $175, with a target market of lonely adult men.

Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named "EMA" puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "love mode".

"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys.

"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."

EMA, which stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization, can also hand out business cards, sing and dance, with Sega hoping to sell 10,000 in the first year.

Japan, home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots, envisions a $10-billion market for artificial intelligence in a decade.

IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!!

A SPARKLING NIGHT FOR WRESTLING!

John Voit said his sons live for the theatrics of WWE, but all that changed at Sunday's WrestleMania 24 after hundreds of fireworks shot into the cheering fans, pummeling them with rockets and raining sparks above their heads.

Orlando Fire Department officials said 30 to 35 wrestling fans were burned, some went to Orlando Regional Medical Center, after a cable that held fireworks on the west end of the Citrus Bowl snapped and sent the burning fireworks and rockets into the stands near the end of the event.

"My 12-year-old son got burned on his leg, he twisted his knee when he ducked under the bleachers and I have three welts on my back from the rockets that struck me," Voit said. "He's still shivering like a leaf."

Voit remembers covering his 9-year-old son, Stephen, and his friend, Felix, as a shower of burning gold and purple embers fell on them. "After the cables snapped, the batch of fireworks just hung there burning above our heads. How could they have allowed the WWE to put explosive devices above the heads of children?"

WWE is estimated to have spent $300,000 on the fireworks. Officials at the WWE have not commented on the fireworks malfunction. Orlando city officials are holding a press conference at 3 p.m. to discuss the accident and answer questions about any investigation into the fireworks malfunction.

The fireworks fell over the 300 section, the middle of the 200 section and the 100 section, Hoggatt said.

According to Hoggatt, people with non-critical and non-life-threatening injuries were asked to go to first aid for treatment. Three people requested that they be transported to the hospital. There is no information on their condition.

Wrestling fan Adam Simon was not injured, but witnessed as the cables snapped and dropped the fireworks into the crowd.

"We only had the cable fall on us, but the other side had the cable break at launch. One firework got stuck in the floodlights and spun around harmlessly and another one fell into the upper bowl," Simon said. "This type of [pyrotechnic] is used a lot by WWE, but I don't think they've ever used it over that distance."

MAKE SURE YA USE UR BLUETOOTH!

A new study which claims to draw on growing evidence claims that mobile phone use may very well be more dangerous than smoking or asbestos and that people should avoid using mobile phones whenever possible. The study headed by Professor Khurana one of the worlds top neurosurgeon claims that that using a mobile phone for 10 years doubles the risk of brain cancer and has posted his studies online for the scientific community to study further . Khurana told reporters "there is a significant and increasing body of evidence for a link between mobile phone usage and certain brain tumours" and added that the link would be "definitively proven" within a decade.

PASS THE MAYO!

Police in Ohio say that a married father of three has confessed to repeatedly having sex with his patio picnic table.

Art Price, Jr., 40, has been charged with four counts of public indecency after a neighbor videotaped him getting all nasty with the umbrella hole in the middle of his plastic picnic table. Apparently preferring the table's legs in the air, Price reportedly flipped the table over before forcing himself inside of it.

Price admitted that his skeevy antics took place both inside and outside of his home, and police say he did his table humping in broad daylight, not far from a school.

In addition to public outrage, we imagine there's considerable jealousy among Price's other lawn furniture. While barbecues and lawn chairs don't have many places for good loving (unless you're big enough for that drink holder), we're sure that plastic gnome hiding in the hedges is wondering why he wasn't chosen. The garden hose, however, is probably pretty relieved.

TRANSGENDER MAN SAYS HE'S PREGNANT

Stunning photos of what appears to be a pregnant Thomas Beatie accompany the first-person article on the publication's Web site.

"Our situation sparks legal, political and social unknowns," wrote Beatie, who's from Bend, Ore.

Beatie, who was born a woman named Tracy Lagondino, had reassignment surgery to appear as a man outwardly, but he never surgically altered his reproductive organs, he said in the article. He only had chest reconstruction and began taking testosterone, Beatie said, meaning he still has ovaries and a uterus.

Now Beatie, who said he was able to get pregnant using artificial insemination, is expecting a baby girl with his wife, Nancy. He said he was 22 weeks along. The baby is due July 3.

But Beatie's case, while uncommon, is not unique. Another transgender man has given birth before, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center obstetrician Dr. Lisa Masterson said on "Good Morning America" today.

"A transgender man can be pregnant because he has the same organs as a woman," she said, adding that Beatie should have no problem having a baby.

But Masterson said there are some health risks with this kind of pregnancy.

"It's really important that he doesn't take any testosterone early on in the pregnancy and later on," she said. "That can cause male-type characteristics in the female baby."

Usually, transgender men use testosterone to gain more masculine qualities. The article said he stopped getting injections and was able to get pregnant.

Beatie also addressed some burning, practical questions people may have.

"To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child," he wrote, explaning that his wife is unable to conceive. "I will be my daughter's father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family."

But not everyone believes Beatie's story. Some of his neighbors expressed indredulity.

"Quite frankly, I think it's a hoax," Beatie's neighbor Ron Schlieper said. "I saw him a few days ago, and he didn't look like that."

Another Bend resident, Josh Love, said, "I couldn't say that he looks pregnant. I can stick my stomach out and almost make it look like that. I think it's kind of bizarre. I don't know if I believe it or not."

Woman Testifies Against Lori Drew in MySpace Hoax Case

Exclusive Interview With Teen Involved in MySpace Hoax That Led to Suicide

In an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America," Ashley Grills, 19, admitted she was part of a scheme to create a fake persona on MySpace and start an online romance with a 13-year-old neighbor, Megan Meier.

This handout shows self portrait shows Megan Meier, 13, who committed suicide last October after receiving cruel messages on MySpace, Monday, Nov. 19, 2007 in St. Charles, Mo. Meier hanged herself after receiving mean messages on the Internet social networking site. The 16-year old boy with whom she had been communicating turned out to be a fabrication created by a mother down the street.

Grills insisted, though, that she was not the only adult involved in the cruel hoax, which eventually led the emotionally vulnerable Meier to commit suicide in October 2006, after her spurious online boyfriend and others began making nasty comments about her.

Grills has testified to a grand jury that Lori Drew, the 47-year-old mother of one of Meier's friends, was actively involved in creating the account and wrote some of the messages to Meier — a charge that Drew and her attorney deny.

"We were just combining ideas about how we can figure out what Megan was saying about Lori's daughter," Grills told ABC News' Deborah Roberts. "It was all three of us — me and Lori and her daughter."
