Well, well: according to the most recent Britney drama, she's been denied the 50/50 custody of her children that she was looking for. Parenting coach Ms. Lisa Hacker sealed the deal with her damning personal testimony, and in today's court ruling, Commissioner Scott Gordon summarized her findings, saying that:

"Ms. Hacker expressed concern that many of the Petitioners interactions with the children are not child-centered. Ms. Hacker [...] indicated that while with the Petitioner, the children have no real schedule or routine. She indicated that, 'the environment at the house ranged from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all.'"

Now comes the good news: if Brit child-proofs her home by Friday and submits evidence of it, she'll be granted three monitored visits per week, two from 12 p.m. until 7 p.m. and one overnight visit. I guess her gorgeous pool's going to be getting a quick fix in the next couple of days! Probably the best person to sum up the whole situation is the parenting coach herself. In Hacker's own words, "The problem is that unless Ms. Spears realizes the consequences of her behaviour and the impact it has on her children, nothing is going to be successful." Oh, my.

I just had a flashback from "Sister, Sister"! What in the devil has Tamera Mowry been up to? We caught this stunning actress with Tahj, her brother, as they left Club Social in Hollywood yesterday. Pictures by Octavio R Vera Jr

David Spade's brand new SUV Cadillac Escalade has already seen better days, now that an enraged member of the New York community decided to scratch it up last night! When David left the Waverly Inn along with his brother Andy and a woman named April, he had to wait while the police assessed the damage along with his driver. Ouch. David remained in a pretty good mood regardless, even mugging for the camera at one point. Oooh. he's got some serious points with Splash for the good mood. Thanks, David.

Mel B. and Jane Seymour were getting ready for Dancing with the Stars today, where they were up to quite cheeky antics. Jane gave us a preview of her saucy dance getup-- a striped gangster number-- and we also caught Mel B. about in what looks like her bra. That's quite a bit of action for off-set shots!

Despite the fact that I said Alex Curran might look a bit like Ivanka Trump (sorry, Ivanka fans!), I really do think she's one of my favorite girls to see out and about. The effortless style! The "sexy executive" dresses and handbags! I love it all, even when Ivanka's looking a little tired like she did last night. Splash spied Ivanka out in New York City with Zoe Saldana, who joined her at the Waverly Inn for dinner. See? Ivanka's busy, but life's not all board-room blahs!

Halle Berry's baby isn't due until 2008 and has already received an honorary degree from New York's prestigious Pace University Performing Arts Department! Yep, all Halle had to do was hold a televised seminar at the school, after which James Lipton, Dean and Founder of the School, presented the award, saying that:

"Tonight is special in many ways not least because this is the first time in 13 years that I have been face to face with two guests in that chair. One of them is the youngest in the history of 'Inside the Actors Studio.' As Dean Emeritus of The Actors Studio Drama School I would like to say that since this little person has already attended this craft seminar, and has behaved like a perfect gentleman or lady, he or she is officially and forever an alumnus or alumna of Pace University."

So now not only will the baby be bilingual, but he/she already has one degree under his or her belt! Honestly.
