Federlines weekend trip to Vegas

Kevin Federline headed to Las Vegas last weekend with the kids, as his estranged wife, Britney Spears, continues to stay on in rehab.

Kevin went to Los Vegas for a paid appearance at the Mirage hotel & Casino lounge Revolution.

“Kevin was really low key,” one source says. “You could definitely tell he was on his best behavior. He was having a good time, but wasn’t the wild, crazy Kevin who used to come to Vegas.”

When Federline arrived in the city with his two boys – Sean Preston, 18 months, and baby Jayden James, 6 months, he was accompanied by a nanny, his mother and brother, as well as two bodyguards.

He was late for dinner with friends and family at the hotel’s Japonais Restaurant because he wanted to tuck his kids into bed. However, by midnight he was seen relaxing at the VIP table at the Revolution with a group of friends which included comedian Jeff Beacher.

Federline’s ordeal with Spears rehab has helped to mature him. A source is quoted as saying “He wakes up with a purpose each morning and has enjoyed his family being around him”.

A dehydrated Nicole Ritchie treated in hospital

by Tricia

Nicole Richie fell ill while filming The Simple Life on Friday and was briefly hospitalized for dehydration.

Ritchie was examined by a doctor on the set, and then taken to a nearby hospital where she was given intravenous fluids for 15 minutes and then released. As a nurse I find this to be a ridiculously short period of time to have been treated for dehydration and feel that she couldn’t have been all that dehydrated. She might as well have drank a glass or two of water or juice.

Nicole’s rep said in a statement “Nicole is home resting and will return to work this evening, We are proud of the weight that Nicole is gaining and her focus on her health.”

Last October Ritchie had announced that she was seeking treatment for what her rep has described as an inability to gain weight. More than likely Anorexia as suspected by pretty much anyone else in the know.

“She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition, It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder.”

In November a friend of Nicole’s said that she’d seen an improvement and that Nicole had put on at least 5 pounds. She does still look slim but Nicole does look much better than she did last summer and early Autumn.

Nicole and Paris will be working as camp counselors in the upcoming season of The Simple Life. Stay Tuned!

Anna Nicole buried in the Bahamas

Anna Nicole Smith was laid to rest on Friday afternoon. The drama that surrounded her life will not end with the memorial that was held in the Bahamas, yet her page in this saga has finally ended.

The funeral was said to be a relatively tasteful and somber affair.

Dare I say that the most gawdy and outrageous thing at her funeral was the pink satin and rhinestone studded blanket that draped her casket.

Anna was laid to rest beside her beloved son Daniel- just as many had assumed was her final wish. Among the attendees at the funeral were Howard K. Stern – who currently has custody of Anna Nicoles 5 month old baby Dannielynn, Anna’s mother Virgie Arthur and former friend Larry Birkhead who’s currently contesting the paternity of little Dannielynn.

The three main players in the custody battle for baby Dannielynn appeared to get along as Anna’s funeral service took place. Smith was laid to rest in a mahogany coffin that had been draped in a rhinestone-studded pink blanket. Police maintained order.

The majority of onlookers were Bahamians, and they spontaneously broke into the hymn Peace like a Lily River as the white hearse carry Smiths body arrived at Lakeview memorial Gardens.

There was apparently a last minute bid to halt the burial as Arthur sought to have the Supreme Court Justice Anita Adams grant her client custody of Smiths body. The Bahamian judge denied the request.

Onlookers cheered when Birkhead got out of his limousine.

There was tight security at the gravesite as guests attended the services which were held under a green tent.

Anna Nicole was said to have been buried in a tiara and custom made beaded gown.

Jeff Goldblum files restraining order against stalker

by Tricia

Jeff Goldblum has filed a restraining order against a 44 year old woman. Goldblum claims that she has shown up at his house “unannounced and uninvited 20 times within the past month and over 50 times in the last three months.”

Court documents filed on Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court state that Goldblum claims a woman named Linda Ransom has “sent harassing and threatening letters, stalked me at various locations, physically attacked my employee and accosted me.”

Ransom apparently met Glodblum at an acting school where Jeff teaches. Then she began showing up at various locations where he performed with his jazz band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.

Ransom claims she was just trying to get Goldblum to “support my efforts to complete my research and screenplay as accurate [sic] as possible.”

The Britney Spears rehab saga

by Tricia

So why did Britney Spears check into rehab only to leave twice, then finally check her self back in last week? Turns out that she got an ultimatum from Kevin Federline.

Federline was upset by the news that Spears had checked out of Promises in Malibu last Wednesday, so he and his lawyer mark Vincent Kaplan scheduled an emergency hearing to seek physical and legal custody of his and Britney’s sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

It’s said that Federline, 28, gave Britney a choice – either go back into Promises that night or Federline would go to court the following morning.

That evening, at about 7 pm, Spears showed up outside of Federlines home in Tarzana, California. She and her friend were follwowed by 20 paparazzi. Federline didn’t appear so she left.

A photographer followed her to a gas station. Britney was enraged that she’d been followed and she grabbed an umbrella and started to whack his SUV. Later that night Spears mother, Lynne, took Britney to Promises. A friend of Federlines said “Britney scared everyone real bad.”

Last Friday Federline spent an hour visiting Britney at promises, the next evening her brought the boys to visit. Spears mother joined the group that day as well.

“Kevin is working closely with Lynne to let Britney know how serious it is that she gets help,” says one family friend. A source close to Federline notes that “Kevin loves Britney … nothing has changed about that.”

Right now the boys are “being taken care of by Kevin,” says a source. “Lynne is helping.” Eventually, says a Spears family friend, Federline, who will turn 29 this month, “would like Britneyto have the kids because he thinks she is a good mother.”

A typical stay at Promises is 45 days. Will Britney make it that long considering it’s her third try in a week? Spears’ Manager Larry Rudolph says that she’s not getting any special treatment at the rehab facility. “She has a regular room, a regular routine. She is doing exceptionally well.”
