  • When NBC crews showed up at Britney Spears‘s house last week to film her train-wreck interview with Matt Lauer, they were shocked to find that she’d done her makeup and hair herself and had no handlers or publicists present. Perhaps she’d already sent them ahead to Namibia to prep her sloppy-seconds birthing den. [NY Post]
  • Put some diet shrimp on the barbie! Nicole Kidman‘s bony, boring birthday party and wedding are this week. [AP]
  • Angelina Jolie apparently will not rest until she’s collected a baby of EVERY HUE KNOWN TO MAN. In 2008, she plans to release a branded line of skin-tone Crayola crayons with names like “Zahara,” “Maddox,” “Shiloh,” “[Aboriginal baby TBA],” “[Inuit baby TBA],” and “[Latino/a baby TBA].” [Reuters]
  • Last week, PETA operatives secretly won an eBay auction for a dinner with Beyoncé, then ambushed her at the dinner with anti-fur videos and propaganda. Low-quality, empathetically embarrassing video here. [TMZ]
  • And Dan Rather is officially done at CBS. He now plans to turn to his true calling, writing insane, wildly context-inappropriate, mixed-metaphor-laden Hallmark cards. “Courage.” [CBS]

    I adore the juxtaposition of Brittney and Angie in their respective interviews.

    Yeah I want an ethnic crayon for my hue! Mahogany please. Or sepia. Just no raw umber. That was my least favorite crayon in the 64 pack.

    Ugh. If only the other four would take Rather’s example and be “officially done.”

    Kidman is the only sane one in that crowd, but that doesn’t mean she should keep making movies.

    Am I the only one that finds the crayon idea bizarre? And I think that’s funny about Beyonce, though I don’t condone PETA at all either.

    Kidman: And by “boring,” I mean please, please, for the love of pete, stop singing terrible songs into my intercom until I am forced to come outside and pose for pictures and answer silly questions.

    Angelina is going to be the new Mia Farrow. Let’s hope Brad doesn’t go all Woody Allen on us.

    At least there’s no way Dan Rather can get in trouble at Hallmark for forging documents.
