Britney Spears' Tragic Family Secrets


We have been duped. Britney Spears promised us she wouldn't swipe her V-card until she got married, only to reveal she had already slept with Justin Timberlake. Now Us Weekly is revealing that Britney actually did the deed with her first love, Reg Jones, when she was only 14.

Us is also unveiling a terrible secret family history of the Spears family. Her paternal grandmother, Emma Jean Spears, committed suicide at the age of 31. She had given birth to a boy eight years earlier who passed away after only three days and took her life by shooting herself in the chest on his grave. Emma Jean had attempted suicide three times before this. She left behind four children, including Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, and two other boys that ended up homeless with criminal records. All this and more in the new issue that hits newsstands Wednesday.

- Awww, isn't Nicole Richie just the sweetest? She's donating all of her baby gifts to 100 needy families.

- Simon Cowell revealed that he has had Botox. Thank you for letting us know, Captain Obvious.

- Mary-Kate Olsen was hospitalized with a kidney infection on Monday. Not that I'm jumping to any conclusions, but do you know what can cause a kidney infection? A little too much lovin', that's what.

- The Red Hot Chili Peppers filed a lawsuit against Showtime on Monday for violating a federal trademark law. The band's 1999 album "Californication" was "the signature CD, video and song of the band's career. For some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right." The lawsuit calls for Showtime to stop using the name as the title of their show starring David Duchovny and give the band any profits made on the show.

- Bill Nye "The Science Guy" has filed a restraining order against his wife, who he claims tried to poison him. Wait a minute... I haven't seen ol' Bill Nye for years, and all of the sudden he turns up on "America's Most Smartest Model" and someone tried to kill him? What a comeback! Meet the new Brad Pitt, ladies and gents.

- The inquest into the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel, finally began on Monday. Daniel died in a Bahamas hospital three days after his mom gave birth to sister Dannielynn on September 10, 2006.

- "The Bachelor" Brad Womack is still very much a bachelor...

- What did you think of the "Weeds" season finale? I don't know what to think! I don't want to reveal too much for those who DVRed it, but I was a bit perplexed by the ending. Hence the term "cliffhanger." Will Nancy and Conrad ever end up happily ever after? Maybe in Pittsburgh? I guess we will have to wait until next year to find out!

Brangelina, Bennifer, and Calohn...

If I get my wish and start dating John Krasinski, our couple nickname would be "Calohn". What would you and your significant other's nickname be? Find out with USA Today's Nickname-o-Matic.

Despite all the Anna Nicole coverage, other things are going on in the world. Here are some highlights:

- Scarlett Johansson is now being linked with another hot guy in Hollywood... Ryan Reynolds. They have been seen eating together several times in Manhattan and one source says, "They were definitely holding hands." Reynolds and his fiancee of three years, Alanis Morissette, ended their engagement in February.

- Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy have been seen canoodling various places recently. I can see the connection there. At least he always has somebody to borrow eyeliner from.

- The Live Earth lineup has been announced. Tickets are available starting Monday, April 16. Kanye West, Kelly Clarkson, and Bon Jovi are among the acts. Red Hot Chili Peppers will only be playing in London. Speaking of charitable causes, anybody want to buy me a ticket to London?

- Snoop Dogg was charged with two felonies today for his arrests for gun and drug possession. He could be in jail for four years if convicted. For shizzle.

- He may as well just rent a cell. Jason Wahler of "Laguna Beach" was arrested AGAIN on Sunday morning. This is the fourth time he has been arrested in nine months. He was arrested in a Seattle hotel after police found him "very intoxicated" and wrestling with another male in the lobby.

- "Dancing with the Stars" host Samantha Harris is expecting a baby.

- Elisabeth Shue has been practicing her moves on the tennis court. The actress, who most of our generation knows from Adventures in Babysitting, hopes to one day compete professionally. She says, "I've been training so hard, now I feel like more of a tennis player than an actress."
