I wonder… did she get more press when she was a pop star? Or more press now that she’s a married mom, and mom-to-be? It’s a toss up, really.

Since Sunday, details from the pre-taped heart-to-heart have been leaking faster than the identity of CIA covert operatives.

Exhibit A: A pretty complete account of the interview from E!.

Exhibit B: Video clips from the interview already available on MSNBC.

Exhibit C: A cornucopia of quotes variously leading stories from the Chicago Tribune to China’s Xinhua:

Quick review:

- Britney says her marriage is “awesome” and denies she and K-Fed are divorcing: “I think everybody should be pro-love.”

- Britney blames the paparazzi for ruining her life: “I’m (an) emotional wreck right now.”

- Britney defends her Sean Preston dangerous driving: “I did it with my dad. I’d sit on his lap and I drive. We’re country.”

- Britney cries!

“Both Britney’s publicists and NBC ratings strategists want to make sure we’re sufficiently hooked so they can reel us right in when the interview airs — TWICE — on Thursday (both on “Today” and “Dateline”). But this time they have gone too far. TMI already. It’s like revealing the end of a movie then asking me to pay first-run prices. I’m not interested anymore.” Source]

This tells me only one thing - - the whole nation mournes over her admission that her and KFed’s marriage is ‘awesome’ not splitting up. That’s the only way I can explain it!

You can still see the remnants of the tatoo that USED to be in that spot - - the one with the coiled snake that used to say “Billy Bob”.

Let this be a lesson kids, tatoos are forever!

Her new tatoo reads:

N11º 33’ 0” E104º 51’ 00”
N09º 02’ 00” E038º 45’ 00”

They’re the latitude and longitude coordinates for Cambodia (son Maddox’s birthplace) and Ethiopia (daughter Zahara’s birthplace). [Source] I’m only assuming here that we’ll soon see a third line with the coordinates for Nambia. That’s my educated guess… did I mention that I’m a rocket scientist by day?

The coveted pictures have been released by People Magazine:

What a cutie face!
(I’m talkin’ about the kid, girls!)

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week - with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me - I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Paris Hilton parks in spaces reserved for the handicapped. Either there is something we don’t know about Miss Hilton and her handicap, or she’s an ass. I put my vote in for ‘ass’.
2. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are denying wedding rumors. They’re planning on leaving Nambia in a few days… hmm, so Brad can start filming Oceans 13?
3. American Idol loser (why do we say runner-up? She’s not the winner.. therefore..?), Katharine McPhee, has signed a record deal with music mogul Clive Davis in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited. (the label is managed by Simon).
4. How many of you could win the trivia question “Who was the Fifth Beatle?” Anyone? Well his name was Billy Preston and he died today at the age of 59. RIP. (of course, the fifth Beatle” has been used, accurately, to describe their bassist, Stuart Sutcliffe, who left the band in 1962, and died of a brain hemorrhage shortly thereafter. Similarly, their drummer Pete Best (replaced by Ringo Starr when the band got a record contract) is often cited as the “fifth Beatle.” - - so it’s all very confusing)
5. Questions arise about the new The Omen remake of why they are messing with the original? Good damned question!
6. Lawsuits are boiling over in regards to Shiloh Nouvel Joilie-Pitt’s (aka Brangelina spawn) mug shots (aka baby pictures) being published on several websites - - apparently Hello! Magazine (UK) and People Magazine (US) obtained exclusive rights to the pictures and are suing any website who publishes the pictures (aka scoops the aforementioned magazines).
7. Katie Holmes is set to cash in on her wedding to Tom Cruise. “Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes fans may be hearing wedding bells — or maybe the sound of a cash register. The couple reportedly have hammered out a prenuptial agreement that will give Holmes as much as $33 million and that will pave the way for the two to get hitched.

   The happy couple and their lawyers have come up with a contract that will give Holmes $3 million a year up to $33 million for each year that she is married to Cruise, as well as a palatial home in Montecito, California, according to Life & Style Weekly. If the marriage lasts longer than eleven years, the contract becomes void and California’s community property law kicks in — giving Holmes half of Cruise’s rather sizeable fortune.

   She’s getting rich hitched! (ummm… has anyone actually SEEN the baby yet??)

8. Much speculation about Britney Spear’s new man… er.. Manny, as they call him. He’s a nanny. He’s a body guard. He’s cute. He’s built. And.. he already has a girlfriend.. So, he’s not KFed’s replacement - - but we’re still hopefull that Britney will dump KFed and move on with her life - - because any life without KFed is a better life, indeed.
9. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are hoping for a press-free wedding. Yea. Right.
10. Almost a year ago, Olivia Newton-John’s boyfriend Patrick Kim McDermott vanished while on an overnight fishing trip, leaving Newton-John, his family and authorities in the dark as to what happened to him, but fearful that he may have fallen overboard to his death. Shortly after, investigations revealed he was having strained relations with his ex wife over outstanding child support payments. Speculation about his own faked death ensued. Drama. Drama. Drama. Now - four separate witnesses claim to have seen him in Mexico since his dissapearance last year. Is Patrick McDermott the new Elvis?
11. Seems American Idol’s Chris Daugherty will not be filling Fuel’s shortage - he’s declined the offer to be the frontman for popular band, Fuel. He must have other plans, eh?
12. Lindsay Lohan has turned into a proper Hollywood Diva now that she quit her new movie called Bill. Reason: The director of the movie is not well enough known.. First time directors are not good enough for the 19 year old upstart. Bitch.
13. Happy Birthday to: Comedian Jerry Stiller is 79, Comedian-talk show host Joan Rivers is 73, Singer Nancy Sinatra is 66, Singer Boz Scaggs is 62, Singer Bonnie Tyler is 53, Actor-director Keenan Ivory Wayans is 48, Keyboardist Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran is 44, Rapper Kanye West is 28.

It’s being reported that Britney Spears is seeking assistance from lawyers to file for a divorce from KFed.

It seems Britney is K-Fed UP!

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week - with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me - I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Kevin Federline: Male Model?? My eyes DECIEVE me! He took a shower! He got a dorky haircut and put on a suit and is trying to look all GQ here. My opinion? He looks like a smarmy used car salesmen (no offense to any used car salesmen out there. In the interview, he is quoted as saying: “”I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually it’s, ‘How’s the wife and kids?’ Not that I mind; that’s my pride and joy. But it would be nice for people to look at me like an artist. The day they judge me as an artist, a CEO, as somebody, not Britney Spears’ husband, that’s the day I am looking forward to.” . Well - everyone has a right to dream, eh?
2. Mariah Carey wins an award from Gillette for having the best legs. She does have some awesome gams, to be sure!
3. For anyone following VH1’s My Fair Brady - Adrianne Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) finally tied the knot - here’s to wishing them the BEST and hoping they last until summers end
4. See this picture?. No, it’s not Jessica Simpson - it’s her sister, Ashley. Not only has she had a nose job, but now she’s gone and plumped up her lips too, on her journey to becoming the next Jessica Simpson look-a-like
5. What is it with celebrities who make public claims that they are single and aren’t seeing ’so-and-so’ anymore? Heather Locklear claims she’s not seeing David Spade anymore - and yet here’s a picture of the cute pair on Malibu beach on May 30
6. Here’s the pictures from Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn’s photo shoot with Entertainment Weekly for their movie “The Break Up” - They both look GREAT!
7. Speculation has it that KFed is the source of leaks about Britney to the news and gossip rags. Spears suspects that K-Fed is responsible for some of the leaks to the tabloids about the couple’s private lives. “Britney knows Kevin tells his friends information, knowing they will leak it to tabloids,” a source close to Spears told Us. She has taken to not telling her hubby certain things — including that she was going to announce her pregnancy on David Letterman — for fear the info would be leaked to his buddies. “They sell stories for money. … She is sick of him using her for them to profit.”
8. Paris Hilton states that has a problem with on-screen nudity. No, really. Ha!
9. Natalie Portman, on the other hand, doesn’t have a problem with onscreen nudity
10. Julia Roberts was fired from Dior, but recovered quickly by signing a $4Million a year contract with Avon
11. Sky.com reports that Nicole Richie has put on some weight - and they’ve provided a picture. I’m thinking, judging by the picture? She’s gained… one… maaaaaaybe two whole pounds?
12. Ben Affleck was rushed to the ER for a migraine headache
13. Celebrity Birthdays today: Actor Andy Griffith is 80, Singer Pat Boone is 72, Actor Morgan Freeman is 69, Guitarist Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones is 59, Singer Graham Russell of Air Supply is 56, Country singer Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn is 53, Actress Lisa Hartman Black is 50, Model Heidi Klum is 33, Singer Alanis Morissette is 32.
