Britney's Wardrobe Headed to Auction

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

You want a piece of Britney Spears? It won't come cheap.

Seven articles of clothing once worn by the pop star are among the pieces being offered to the public by online auctioneers Gotta Have It! as part of their upcoming Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction.

One of the featured pieces is a T-shirt worn by Spears, 26, while she was a cast member on the New Mickey Mouse Club and signed by her costars, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Keri Russell. (Spears had given the shirt to her grandmother.)

"Something like that has never come up for auction before," Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski tells PEOPLE. "We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000."

Other Spears items include costumes from her "Drive Me Crazy" and "Oops, I Did it Again" tours, a blue and white sexy Santa dress she wore in a Christmas ad for Pepsi in 2000, and the orange coat and pants she wore to the Billboard Music Awards that same year.

Also on the block: a pair of jeans that Marilyn Monroe wore in the film River of No Return, which Spears had received as a gift from Tommy Hilfiger. Kosinski expects them to sell in the range of $60,000 to $80,000.

Proceeds from the sale of the Spears memorabilia, which was provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group on behalf of the singer, will go to a charity of Tri Star’s choosing. The company’s owner, Lou Taylor, is a spokesperson for the Spears family.

In addition to the Spears items, more than 500 lots will be offered – everything from an Elvis jumpsuit to Madonna's 1987-1988 datebook.

The datebook is "all hand-written and what she did day-to-day – if she had dinner, if she had rehearsals," says Kosinski. It even includes phone numbers for Madonna's then-husband, Sean Penn, and her Dick Tracy costar, Dustin Hoffman. Estimated selling price: $6,000 to $8,000.

The online auction will be open from July 21 until Aug. 6.

Britney Spears Plays Nice To Get Sex Tape

The following italicized article is from www.news.com:

BRITNEY Spears has reportedly reconciled with ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib because she fears him releasing a secret sex tape.

Adnan is said to have been recently spotted driving into the gated community in the Hollywood Hills where the singer is living with her father, The Daily Mail says.

But sources claim the two haven't got back together for purely romantic reasons - Britney is apparently terrified Adnan has an explicit video of her during the couple's brief trip to Mexico in January.

"Britney's really scared that Adnan has a sex tape," an insider tells The Daily Mail's website. "She wants to get it out of his hands."

Spears, 26, and the Birmingham-raised paparazzo, 36, have barely been seen together since the troubled singer was hospitalised for psychiatric treatment on January 31.

Mel Gibson Tried To Play Matchmaker To Britney

The following italicized article is from www.hollyscoop.com:

Maybe all those dinner meetings and tropical getaways between Mel Gibson and Britney Spears had a purpose!

We're hearing that Mel attempted to hook one of his twin sons up with Brit. Edward had previously been in rehab for coke and drinking problems, so Mel probably thought they'd make the perfect pair!

He should have offered both twins. It takes a lot to get Brit's attention...like a landing strip.

Well, at least they can’t take away her Grammy.

Following her guest-starring stint on CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother,” Britney Spears has been left off of the list of Emmy’s 11 semifinalists in the category of Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Despite earning largely rave reviews for her turn as Abby the receptionist on the hit sitcom, Brit couldn’t crack the top 11, although she was one of 41 actresses to be considered for a nomination.
