The woes of court life don't appear to be getting old Britters' down! Splash (and the usual pap crowd) caught up with the pop star as she danced and smiled while she waited for her friend Sam to fill up her car with petrol.
While Britney made a few phonecalls and flashed a peace sign, Sam made a statement that because all the photographers were touching her car that they should also help out and clean the windows. This drew a cheer of laughter, and one snapper even offered.
After getting in the car Sam took great joy in turning on the window washers on the paps. I'm sure their lenses could have done with a clean!

Her daughter is currently the world's most famous human train-wreck, she has had a touch with rehab, has regular drug tests and is losing her kids. But now Britney Spears's mother is taking an astonishing step - and writing a book about how to bring up child stars!
Lynne Spears has signed a deal to pen a book she is calling: "Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World." It will be about how she raised her three children - especially Britney, 25 and herself a mum-of-two, and younger daughter Jamie Lynn, 16, who is also a star.
"It seems to weird to be true," one insider said. "Here she is with the world looking at what a disaster her daughter Britney has become - with addiction and a career in crisis and wild behaviour that could lose her both her sons. And on top of that, her relationship with her daughter is so bad Britney delivered an angry letter to Lynne saying she was cutting her out of her life. Frankly Lynne seems to be the last person to write a book like this - unless it's a 'How not to do it' guide."
As well as straight memoir, the book ill have a religious bent - and is to be published by Thomas Nelson, famed for religious books. It is expected t hit book stores on American Mother's Day next year.

Our photographer had to be hot on his toes to get a picture of Lindsay Lohan leaving the Cedars-Sinai Mental Health Center last night. Thus the wonky angle. But never fear I have zoomed in and turn Lin's the right way up!
I had a little look at the hospitals website to see why she could have been visiting. There was a long list of possible treatments, but I did see they dealt with "emotionally troubled infants" and had an "Anorectal" department. So perhaps she really is trying not to be a pain in the a** anymore.

My one pet hate when it comes to clothes is baggy velvet tracksuits! Particularly ones that drag along the floor. So I'm trying hard not to judge Mel C, as I really like her. The Spice Girl was spotted looking very chilled as she spent the morning stocking up on supplies from her local store.
Sporty Spice then treated herself to a 3 hour day spa session and came out of Burke Williams day spa without any make up. When the singer spotted she was being photographed she ran back the other way. Woops! She had better get used to the attention, as she is just about to start a highly talked about world tour.

Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet Anne looked adorable as they visited a playground and the Great Lawn in Central Park. Violet looked happy to spending some quality time with her Mum, as Garner has been busy busy working on her broadway show Cyrano De Bergerac.

The beautiful Natalie Portman hid her golden looks from the cameras yesterday as she made her way into a party for the special play and screening of 'Right You Are, If You Think You Are'. Natalie is currently starring in this play along with co-stars Brooke Shields and Cate Blanchett.
The other ladies appeared only to chuffed to smile for the cameras upon their entry, while Miss Portman used her jacket to keep everything covered, other than her eyes.
