Paris, Britney And Lindsay 'To Star In TV Series'

Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan could unite for a new US show.

The stars are said to be in talks with network HBO about a sitcom described as a cross between Ugly Betty and Friends.

‘The chemistry between them will be electric,’ says a source.

‘They were all very close and have had their ups and downs in the LA party world.

‘They can draw from their experiences for the sitcom.’

The Daily Star reports that Ricky Gervais has been approached to work on the show – but representative Katie Phillips says this is 'totally untrue'.

In the the series, the girls will play aspiring stars in Hollywood.

‘Paris will play the most ambitious of the three,’ the insider continues. ‘Her character is supposed to be a hot fashion designer.

Britney Spears' 6-Month Sex Ban

The following italicized article is from www.nowmagazine.co.uk:

Britney Spears is getting back to her fabulous best and her parents are determined not to let anything interrupt her recovery.

So determined, in fact, that they’ve slapped a 6-month sex ban on their daughter – fearing that, with her notoriously bad taste in men, another relationship could disrupt her delicate stability once again.

‘Jamie and Lynne feel she’s so close to cracking the big time again that they don’t want anything to get in her way,’ a friend tells Now.

They believe that Britney’s ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib was partly responsible for her breakdowns and feel they lost their daughter during the time she was hanging around with him and her “manager” Sam Lutfi.

'They’re desperate to ensure that it won’t happen again. Their worst nightmare is that she gets involved with someone else who’s just trying to use her for her money or to further their own career.

’We’ve learnt that Britney, 26, is currently on a reduced dose of an anti-anxiety drug, in contrast to the cocktail of strong medication she’s been on in the past. It seems that she’s put her troubles behind her, but the fact that she’s still being treated proves that her recovery is still very much ongoing.

Dad Jamie, 59, will remain in charge of Britney’s affairs until at least December, with an interim court hearing to assess her progress on 28 October. Insiders say it’s highly likely that his conservatorship will be extended further as Britney still requires long-term care and supervision.

Singer spends time with Lynne Spears in LA

Britney Spears spent a day with her family at the weekend, as mum Lynne helped her look after her sons on an overnight visit.

Mum and daughter seem to have put their differences aside as they spent the day shopping and enjoying a lunch of sushi and salad with friends.

'Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff,' an observer tells People.

'She looked gorgeous, and I've never seen her in a better mood. She was laughing the whole time she was here. Britney seemed to have the best time hanging out with her mom and friends.'

The following italicized article os from www.nowmagazine.co.uk:

Former couple to put proposal to court tomorrow.

Britney Spears and ex husband Kevin Federline are said to have agreed to share care of their sons.

Last month the judge overseeing their custody case asked the former couple to try to reach a settlement between themselves.

And now insiders claim that Britney, 26, and K-Fed, 30, will put forward their proposal to LA Superior Court at a private hearing tomorrow.

‘Commissioner Alan Gordon told Britney and Kevin to mediate a deal to avoid the nightmare of a trial,’ says a source. ‘It seems they’ve done that and it all now hinges on whether the judge agrees with what they put to him.’

It's hoped he will accept that Britney is well enough to look after Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 21 months.

‘She’s in terrific spirits and is extremely hopeful that the judge will allow her to become a proper mum again,’ the source tells the Daily Star Sunday.

‘She believes she’s within sight of being the woman she once was and wants to rebuild her life as well as her career.'

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears reunited!

The following italicized article is from www.nowmagazine.co.uk:

Britney and Justin are rekindling their relationship for the best comeback ever...

Ex-lovers Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are reuniting after 6 years and three weeks apart. (Yes, we've been counting!)

The pair have hardly said a word to each other since their acrimonious split in 2002. But Justin, 27, and his producer Timbaland approached Britney's dad Jamie last month about a collaboration on a funky hip-hop single to be released later this year.

Timbaland, 27, tried in March last year for a reunion, but the mum-of-two, 26, was so off the rails that she snubbed the approach.

'She has to have a team. She needs to come back with Justin doing records,' he said later. 'Instead, she got big-headed and was like: “Screw you, screw you, I don't need nobody.”'

But Timbaland's now willing to forgive and forget. If all goes well, he'll start work on the backing track within weeks while Justin and Britney spend time together writing the lyrics.

'Justin wants to help Britney and this is his way of proving to everyone – including her family, who he was always very close to – that he cares,' a family friend tells Now.

Britney's affairs are being controlled by her dad, who's signed up her ex-manager Larry Rudolph to oversee her career – and he's just as keen to see the reunion happen. The only sticking point is keeping Britney on the straight and narrow for long enough – she's still harbouring a lot of anger about Justin releasing Cry Me A River, which is widely assumed to be about her cheating on him.
