Apparently Kevin Federline had his sons taken away from Britney Spears as a scare tactic to help her get her life back on track. K-fed has told pals he was saddened at having to get the lawyers involved again. "It's never been about wanting to take the kids from Britney," a friend of Federline told Us Weekly magazine. "He wants to share them. It just got to a point where he couldn't watch her continue to go downhill, and he felt he had to ask for full custody to scare her into getting better."

See what a little bit of food can do for one's well being! I think I can officially say this is the first time ever I personally have seen pictures of Nicole Richie eaing something. The normally super thin "it" girl was all aglow when we caught up with her in Beverly Hills as she heads to her car following a hair appointment. Check out her radiant smile - gorgeous!

This is the first step Britney Spears is taking to get her messed up life back in order. The tragic pop princess was issued a temporary license from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, an agency spokesman says. "She has fulfilled her requirements for a California driver's license," said the DMV's Mike Marando. The DMV were so supportive to Britney that they actually came to her waiting SUV to issue the papers for her to sign. Britney Spears' lawyer told People.com that among the reasons she lost temporary custody was because she lacked a valid license.

Unlike other kids his age, when Maddox Jolie Pitt grows up, he will have tons of photos to rifle through with his kids and this one should be at the top of the school days file. The six-year-old cutie who is enrolled in the Lycée Français de New York looks sooo cute as he left school dressed in his uniform with gorgeous mommy in tow. Who's the guy in the "If lost please return me to the pub" t-shirt? Security? Let's hope Maddox or any of the other kids don't borrow that one any time soon.

Kanye West shows he's all caveman as he flashes his new prized ass-ets to waiting photographers during Paris Fashion Week. We spotted (well we couldn't miss him dressed in that hideous sweater) hip hop's version to Tom Cruise and girlfriend Alexis Pfeiffer, looking very much in love at the Colette and Jeremy Scott party at the Elysee Montmartre in Paris. I wonder if she was the black Kate Moss he was referring to in his single Stronger?

These are clips from Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher's new film, "What happens in Vegas" being filmed in Central Park. The movie tells the tale of two people who discover they've gotten married following a night of naughtiness, with one of them winning a huge jackpot after playing the other's quarter. It's kind of like the modern version of the Twits, with one trying to outwit the other in order to get their pesky hands on the money. Despite these being staged scenes, Cameron looks like she is taking much pleasure in keeping Ashton firmly pinned to the ground - maybe it's payback for all those times Kutcher punk'd one of her celebrity pals.
