Popular Britney Fan Site to Shut Down CBS News Showbuzz reports that the WorldofBritney.com is being closed. World of Britney or WoB is a popular Britney Spears fan site that has been online since 2000. The site's owner Ruben Garay says Britney is losing her identity and credibility.
"As Britney keeps losing her identity and credibility within fans and industry people, so is WoB. We're moving on to greater, bigger things," Ruben Garay, the Webmaster and founder of the site said in the release. "I would therefore like to announce the permanent shut down of World of Britney.com beginning January 31st, 2007."As LittleJudy.com points out Garay's decision to shutter WoB is also partly a publicity move to expand into broader celebrity coverage with the launch of a new site. However, there are at least some disillusioned Britney fans -- a new poll found that nearly 3 in 10 adults think Britney Spears was the worst celebrity of 2006.

Information about the Rose Parade in Pasadena can be found here. In the parade the roses will be seen on the 89th Rose Queen, Mary McCluggage, as well as the Santa Fe Springs float.

The massive dome will contain a climate-controlled indoor city. The dome will keep temperatures summer like inside even when it is well below freezing outside.
Underneath, in an area larger than 10 football stadiums, will be a city with squares and cobbled streets, canals, shopping centres and golf courses.The dome would give Astana a year-round beach. Borat would probably like to wear his unattractive swimsuit to the Astana beach but he probably won't be welcomed anywhere in Kazakhstan. Borat, the fictional Kazakh reporter, claims to have studied at Astana University.

The site says:
This holiday, get what you've always wanted. The miraculous ability to turn yourself into an elf. Upload a picture of your face, record your message, then send this toy singin' version of yourself to a friend.To begin the Elfamorphosis you just need to upload a picture which will be converted into an elf. It is very silly thing OfficeMax has come up with but at least it isn't another giant ball of rubberbands. Update 7-30-07: The Elf Yourself site is currently down. The site says that soon Elf Yourself 2.0 will be available. Apparently, it lets you "elf the heck out of yourself." That sounds like something we would like to do. We can't wait.

Once the proud owner of pampered pooches Bit-Bit, Lacy and Lucky, Spears ended the year dog-less, a feat that earned her the title of World's Worst Celebrity Dog Owner in an online poll of readers of Hollywood Dog and New York Dog magazines.She beat out Paris Hilton for being the Worst Celebrity Dog Owner of the Year? Now that's impressive. Impressively awful. When she gets sick of her two children, will she give those away too?

Media reports state that Tara has been whooping it up, engaging in multiple one night stands and drinking everyone else under the table. Donald Trump has the tough job of firing his second Miss USA that turned out to be a tramp.
After rumors of inappropriate behavior surfaced about reigning Miss USA Tara Conner, Trump - owner of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants - said yesterday he would help figure out what's going on with the curvy 20-year-old blonde and whether she should continue to wear the crown. Surely Trump has people to do this sort of thing.If she gets fired, Tamiko Nash of California, will step in and take the crown. Let's hope Tamiko is paying close attention and won't risk her crown.

The wannabe rapper, who split from Britney last month, is reportedly prepared to talk about the singer's alleged drug use, wild partying and her lesbian tendencies if he doesn't get what he wants from the divorce settlement. A source told America's Star magazine: "Kevin is either hoping a publisher will pay him big money for the book, or that Britney will cough up more cash than what is in their prenuptial agreement to keep him from spilling the beans."K-Fed is just vile. Will he ever go away?

The report also indicates that her planned trip to the U.S. with her sons was cancelled because of "security issues" and because she was traveling with princes she had to obey the order not to go. So she went on the Fayed's yacht and ended up dating Dodi Fayed, and later dying. The American secret service was bugging Princess Diana's telephone conversations without the approval of the British security services on the night she died, according to the most comprehensive report on her death, to be published this week. Among extraordinary details due to emerge in the report by former Metropolitan police commissioner Lord Stevens is the revelation that the US security service was bugging her calls in the hours before she was killed in a car crash in Paris.The whole thing is just so odd. Why in the world was the NSA spying on Princess Diana? Other reports say that they were actually surveilling another person at the Ritz-Carlton in Paris who may have talked about the Princess. Which makes absolutely no sense. We weren't believing any of the conspiracy theories about her death -- until these facts turned up. Now, the whole thing looks fishy to us.

"It's chic to be stressed," says Leslie Reisner, a Los Angeles psychologist and corporate trainer specializing in stress. "Not only do many of us want the stress in our lives, we want more stress than the next guy. It's the new way of keeping up with the Joneses."We live in such a competitive society that we are now competing for who has the most stressful life. You can find out if you are a competitive stresser by taking this quiz.

Sienna Miller, actress starring in the upcoming film "Factory Girl," kicked off the holiday season unveiling the beloved Cartier holiday bow and windows on November 14th, 2006, dressed in Vintage 1937 Cartier Paris jewels, including an 18K Yellow Gold Ring, Earrings and Bracelet with Diamonds and Lapis. For the 27th year, Cartier wrapped the Fifth Avenue Mansion in a traditional red holiday ribbon and decorated the facade of the building with signature red Cartier boxes with a special Love motif inspired by the Love jewelry collection. The 215 foot ribbon and 8 foot bow was completely lit, with 95,000 custom red LED lights, representing the largest display of custom LED's in New York City. As crowds gathered on the street anxiously awaiting for the building to light up, the famous Santa to the Stars entertained children and guests, setting the holiday mood. Hot chocolate and holiday cookies were on hand as Frederic de Narp, President and CEO of Cartier North America, greeted guests welcoming the holiday season to New York.Miller's next film is Factory Girl.

The Billboard Awards took the adage "the show must go on" to heart: tonight's show literally had no hosts at all. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were supposed to host, but both backed out at the last minute, infuriating producers. But Mary J. Blige didn't care. She won big.
An R&B veteran and a young upstart won big Monday night at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards. A 17-year-old lothario, Chris Brown, took home new artist of the year, male of artist of the year and artist of the year awards. Newcomers Rihanna and idol-turned-country star Carrie Underwood also walked away with high honors at the two-hour show aired live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But it was a seasoned artist that took home the most honors. R&B diva Mary J. Blige's comeback album, "The Breakthrough," delivered nine awards to the 35-year-old singer, including R&B/Hip-Hop artist of the year, female R&B artist of the year and R&B/Hip-Hop album of the year.Paris' rep said that she backed out at the last minute because the script was offensive, because it insulted all of her friends. Britney gave no reason for her departure from the show, but it's really odd. Maybe she was worried the writers couldn't resist throwing in a line about her aversion to wearing underwear. Still, how could a girl that flashes her bits in public four times in one week possibly be embarassed by anything? And as for Paris, well, who knows why she really backed out. Maybe they wouldn't let her sing. That has to be it. (Photo courtesy Splash News.)

The photograph is from Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas. Santa Claus will be appearing on some Royal Caribbean cruise ships this year as Royal Caribbean International is gearing up to transform its fleet into floating "Winter Wonderlands." The cruise ships will include decorations, holiday music, eggnog, holiday talent shows, ice skating, caroling, pictures with Santa and arts and crafts -- which is all great unless you were planning on leaving that all behind you this holiday season.
