According to Life & Style Weekly, Britney Spears checked into the uber posh resort and spa Sanctuary in Scottsdale, Arizona citing 'exhaustion.' If you didn't know, 'exhaustion' is often PR spin for 'overdose,' 'knocked up,' 'revived at hospital,' and 'recovering from plastic surgery.' Based on Britney's recent adventures, I wouldn't be surprised if 'exhaustion' was encompassing all of those. Britney recently collapsed or 'fell asleep' according to her publicist, at the New Year's party she was hosting in Vegas creating a storm of rumors concerning her partying ways. While Sanctuary is one of the top resort and spa's in the country, if not the top, it is not a rehab facility. So is Britney just resting or is she one step from a trip to rehab?

Demi Moore reveals she is planning to have a baby with toy boy lover Ashton Kutcher. When Demi, 44, coupled up with actor Ashton who, at 28, is 16 years her junior, people said it would never last. But asked if they were considering having kids in an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, she said: "Most definitely...once you hit three...what's the difference between [three or] four or five?". Demi also admitted having reservations about falling for a younger man, "If somebody would've said, you're going to meet a man who's 25-years-old, I would have said 'Keep dreaming'. I think it caught us both by surprise, particularly him." So Splash shall be watching out for little growing bumps in the future!

What do you think of paparazzi hater Courteney Cox and her take on the celebrity news industry with her show 'Dirt?' Is this how you pictured the tabloid business? Think it is this cut throat and shady? Or is this just a vehicle for the Cox-Arquette family to get at back the people that made them a star? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Update: After sleeping on the show I only have a couple of thoughts. As with any TV show, the ultimate decider is ratings and to achieve ratings, shows take subject matter to extremes, that at their basic level are true but wildly blow them out of proportion. I also feel that Cox is really trying to make a statement about the state of Hollywood, celebrities, fans, and the industry as a whole which is incredibly biased due to her feelings and actions toward the paparazzi and the tabs. The show was entertaining but whatever truth or credibility that it was trying for was negated by kooky characters insane plot twists. Saying that, I will be watching next week. What do you think? Am I on track? Is she trying to say something about her career, Jennifer Aniston's career, or even her husband David's 'weird' career choices?

How is Kristin Cavallari able to spend New Years at the exclusive Shore Club in Miami ? She couldn't have been paid that much for her pretend reality show Laguna Beach. I checked her IMDB profile and she has a failed TV show and two films that will go straight to DVD. Where is she getting money from? Is the Russian mob financing her in hopes of breaking into Hollywood?
