Britney Spears was seen in Scottsdale, AZ smoozing with Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinart over the weekend holiday weekend. The two were spotted at a club on Scottsdale road .

Reports vary as far as what happened at the club… everything from Britney was just saying “hi”, to Britney and Matt “grinding” on the dance floor. I think it’s safe to say that she was just saying hi, especially considering that one of her friends is pals w/ Leinart’s baby’s mama (Brynn Cameron).

Of course Britney has almost been single for 2 months now, having left K-Fed in early November.

Matt Leinart was previously dating Paris Hilton after he left USC.

In related news… Britney reportedly fell asleep only minutes after the New Year. Spears hosted a party at Ceasars Palace’s “Pure” night club, but passed out only minutes after the big moment. Her reps say that she was just tired - that she didn’t drink too much, take any drugs or anything like that.

Shortly after taping the Jay Leno Show on Tuesday, rapper Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus) was arrested by police for a variety of charges, including: felony drug and weapons charges. Snoop posted his $60,000 bond and is out of jail for the time being.

A handgun and some illegal drugs were found in the vehicle that Snoop Dogg and his bodyguards were driving in following the show taping. He also reportedly had a secret compartment in his vehicle… I think everyone know what that was for.

This is not Snoop’s first run-in with the law. Prior to this year’s multiple arrest spree he’s on, he’s done the following:

Broadus was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and was charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. Facing three years in prison, he pleaded guilty in exchange for three years probation.

He was charged and acquitted of murder charges in 1996. An alleged gang member was killed by gunfire from a vehicle in which Broadus was traveling. Full story

Way to go Snoop… just because you’re famous you don’t think you can get busted for smoking weed?

Personally, I think the police & government should take a harder stand on marijuana references and obvious smokers (ie: Snoop, Willie Nelson, etc.). They brag about smoking it all the damn time, so why do the cops not do anything about it? Search their cars, search their damn houses and charge them with illegal possession.

The tabloids are always right!! (ok, maybe not always)

Britney Spears is saying bye-bye to K-Fed. The pop princess filed for divorce Tuesday from her husband, former backup dancer and aspiring rapper Kevin Federline. The Los Angeles County Superior Court filing cites “irreconcilable differences,” said court spokeswoman Kathy Roberts.

Spears, 24, married Federline, 28, in 2004. They have a 1-year-old son, Sean Preston, and an infant son who was born Sept. 12. The divorce papers identify the baby as Jayden James Federline. - Associated Press

This really isn’t a big surprise to anyone that watches the news or picks up a magazine; it’s been rumored for months. My guess is that Brittany stayed long enough for K-Fed to release his album and make some of his own money.

In the divorce papers, Spears asks for custody of the couple’s two children, with visitation rights for Federline. The filing lists as separate property, and thereby off-limits to Federline, “miscellaneous jewelry and other personal affects,” earnings and other assets to be determined later.

Kevin already has 2 kids, so I doubt the custody requests by Spears will be an issue. Brittany probably wanted this all along though (kids), though I’m sure she’ll be surprised at how hard it is to do as a single parent. Did I just say that??? She’s been single the whole time w/ K-Fed(up) anyway, so it shouldn’t be anything different for her

Faith Hill insists she’s no Kanye West. The country music superstar says she was just joking when cameras showed her screaming “WHAT?” in apparent anger when she lost the female vocalist of the year award to newcomer Carrie Underwood at the Country Music Association Awards on Monday night in Nashville.

Although her voice could not be heard, it was clear from her lips what she said. She looked visibly upset and then it looked as if she was storming off. The incident has been replayed endlessly on sites like YouTube.com.

Underwood also didn’t take it seriously, according to her publicist, Jessie Schmidt, who said that Hill spoke to Underwood after the show and that the two were fine.

Underwood, the 2005 “American Idol” champ, has become a triple platinum success since releasing her debut album late last year. Hill is a longtime darling of country music with crossover pop appeal.

This is the second time in less than a week that an awards show loss has resulted in an (apparent) on-camera freakout by a loser. Last week, Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards and interrupted the speech of the winners, claiming his video deserved the honor. - Associated Press

I guess being on stage during the award didn’t help, but Faith claims it was a harmless joke. Afterall, what would she have to be upset about anyway… it’s not like Carrie came out of nowhere (wink) or has become a start very quickly (wink, wink), all while Faith has been working on her career for decades, coming up slowly from nothing

The reaction appeared genuine, but we’ll never know because it’s easy to play it off as nothing now. I’ll bet her hubby, Tim McGraw, was just as upset when Kenny Chesney won the CMA’s biggest award (best entertainer).

Eminem’s best man at his wedding and lifetime friend, Proof, was shot overnight at a nightclub along Eight Mile Road in Detroit.

The death of Proof - whose real name is Deshaun Holton - was confirmed by Dennis Dennehy, the publicist for D12’s label, Interscope Records.

“Memorial service arrangements are still being made, and his friends and family would appreciate privacy during this difficult time,” Dennehy said in a statement. - Associated Press.  Read more…

This is a sad event for everyone involved, and it will be interesting to see how D12 comes out of it (tribute song, etc.). 

Things couldn’t be going worse for Eminem right now - first he divorces his wife, and now one of his best friends is killed in his hometown.

It’s unclear if the shooting had any motives behind it or if it was just a random event, but with Obie Trice being shot at in December, it’s possible there’s more to the story than is currently being told.

News has come out that Eminem has divorced his wife Kim yet again. After re-marrying her again in January, Marshall served her w/ papers this week. They apparently haven’t been talking to each other lately (6 weeks?) - that’s a relationship, come on…

In a statement released Thursday afternoon through his publicist, Eminem said: “The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family. However, a few of Kim’s statements in a radio interview this morning need to be addressed.

First, her allegations regarding my status post-rehab are both untrue and unfortunate. Second, she was aware that I was filing for divorce. We both tried to give our marriage another chance and quickly realized that a wedding doesn’t fix the underlying problems.” - Jim Irwin, AP Read more…

It sounds like a simple war of words by both parties… While I don’t discount Kim’s statements to the radio show, I think she’s motivated by other factors (think $$) and she’s trying to bad mouth him to keep herself looking respectable.

The whole situation is unfortunate, but both of their dumb asses should’ve stayed away from each other in the first place.
