You can't put a price on abs
Yesterday, we told you about Kevin Federline’s sure-to-work plan of getting into shape and then releasing a workout DVD. Well, his ex-wife will see his foolish fitness scheme and raise him an “I can’t be trusted with my money.” 

A source claims that Britney Spears, the definition of frugality and class, is shelling out $22,000 a month to lose weight. Here’s the breakdown: $10,000 for a nutritionist and diet supplements, $8,000 for a personal trainer and $4,000 for a private choreographer. We’re assuming she gets the Zone Diet meals delivered free.

While you think about all the foreclosures you could avoid with an extra 22 grand a month, let’s see why Brit Brit’s shelling out: “Britney piled on a lot of weight earlier this year,” the source told Closer magazine. “She was so stressed about the custody case, and her medication for her bipolar disorder also made her put on weight.” So she’s not just fat — she’s crazy fat!

But apparently this madcap plan is working. “Britney is so proud of herself because her ab muscles are back,” the source said. Yes, but at what cost? 

Silly Britney. She could’ve saved a ton of money if she just waited until Kevin’s DVD comes out in January.



She wants a new drug
We know, we know. The phrase ‘Amy Winehouse hospitalized’ is not really news anymore. But we thought you’d like to know that the inspiration for a whole new generation of drag queens has been released from the hospital and is at home “having a rest,” her doctors said in a statement. 

This latest round of the Winehouse Gurney Grand Prix got under way because of what her spokesman called an “adverse reaction to medication,” which, when you think about it, is a great, succinct way to describe Winehouse herself. 

But also, there’s a drug Amy Winehouse can’t handle? The mind boggles.

The pot calling the kettle daughter
Miley Cyrus stopped by Ryan Seacrest’s radio show the other day to gab out boys. After admitting she’s looking for that rare 17-year-old guy who’s into Coldplay, the walking Disney franchise admitted her dating choices usually irk her mom. “She doesn’t like my taste in guys,” Cyrus said. “She says I have terrible taste.”

Like the woman who married Billy Ray Cyrus can talk.
