Britney Spears could be headed back to the big screen in the latest Quentin Tarantino flick, according to tabloids. Allegedly, Britney's been chosen to play dancer Varla in a remake of the '65 cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The movie features three thrill-seeking strippers who take a young couple hostage in the desert. Britney's character murders the boyfriend with her bare hands, takes the girlfriend hostage and has sex scenes with another girl (before the drama ends in a blood-bath).

MARY-KATE OLSEN WANTED BY D.E.A.

There's a new development in the Heath Ledger investigation - detectives now want to bring in Mary-Kate Olsen for questioning. Last week they tried to contact her but her lawyer said "she'd only testify if she was given immunity."

Interesting... if Mary-Kate had nothing to do with the death of Heath, then why does she need immunity? Well, that's what the Drug Enforcement Agency wants to know -- ad now they've issued a subpoena to have her testify in front of a grand jury.

The Feds just want to question her about the drugs found in the toxicology report. Heath lost his life due to a deadly cocktail of 5 different drugs; 3 of them he had prescriptions for and 2 (Oxycontin & Vicodin) he got from someone else. Since Mary-Kate was the first person called when he overdosed, there has always been speculation that she may have been tied in with him receiving the medication.

*Update: A judge has now officially closed the case... so it looks like Mary-Kate may be off the hook.

JONAS BROTHERS SNAG TV SHOW

Fresh off their successful night of racking up tsurfboard rophies at the Teen Choice Awards, the Jonas Brothers have confirmed that they aren't taking too much of a break this year. 

Nick, Kevin and Joe have officially announced that they're heading to the Disney Channel for their own TV show. The threesome say that the show will be based on the idea of HBO's "Flight of the Conchords" -- their favorite show -- so they "can just pick up a guitar and break into song anytime."

Look for the new Jonas show to start production in September, after their summer tour ends.

JENNA JAMESON KNOCKED UP BY KNOCK-OUT KING

Congrats to former porn star Jenna Jameson! The retired panty-dropper and boyfriend, UFC champ/Celebrity Apprentice contestant Tito Ortiz, are expecting their first child together.

According to the NY Post, "She's thrilled! This is something she's wanted for a very long time. Unfortunatley during her marriage to Jay Grdina [whom she divorced in 2006], she miscarried and failed with in vitro trials."

Wonder what will happen now with her biopic movie. Jenna was originially set to play herself in the movie based on her best-selling book How To Make Love Like A Porn Star.

We hear that her roommate/best friend, Aubrey O'Day of Danity Kane, may have an interest in taking over the role...

A BATMAN CURSE? MORGAN FREEMAN INVOLVED IN CAR CRASH

The stars of The Dark Knight better watch out! Heath Ledger (The Joker) passed away this past year from a drug overdose, Christian Bale (Batman) was arrested at the London premiere of the movie and now Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox) has been involved in a serious car crash.

Rescue crews has to use the "jaws of life" to pull Morgan Freeman and a passenger from the wreckage on Sunday night after their car ran off the edge of the road and flipped over several times. Luckily, the Academy Award winner and his passenger (friend Demaris Meyer) were wearing their seat-belts; The Mississippi Highway Patrol have also declared that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the incident and that they are looking into whether or not Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel.

The two were airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where Meyer was released quickly, suffering only bumps and bruises. Freeman, however, faces more serious injuries -- a broken arm and elbow, in addition to minor shoulder damage. Doctors say they expect the actor to make a full recovery after having surgery.

Morgan's rep has requested that fans to do not send the actor flowers or gifts, but if you'd like to send him well wishes you can do so at:

Morgan Freeman
P.O. Box 16548 
Encinco, CA 91416

CHARLIE SHEEN NICKEL & DIMES DENISE RICHARDS... MINUS THE DIMES



Charlie Sheen
may have made bank this year, but that didn't stop him from putting up a fight about a bill given to him by ex-wife Denise Richards. The Two & A Half Men star wasn't happy to learn that Beverly Hills physician Peter Waldstein was immunizing his two daughters, Sam and Lola, after Charlie had specifically asked Denise not to do it. So, when he was given the bill for $380, he decided to messenger in the money... completely in nickels.

$380 comes out to 7,600 nickels, which weighs about 84 pounds! Imagine that being carried into a doctor's office!

Dr. Waldstein said he'll be donating the coins to the March of Dimes.



PAMELA ANDERSON NOT READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP

Insiders on the set of Pamela Anderson's new reality show "Pam: Girl on the Loose" are spilling the beans on some of the secrets from the show.

In addition, her contract states that close-ups on her face are absolutley forbidden!

Here's what she doesn't want you to see:

FIRST LOOK -- ANGELINA & BRAD's TWINS



Photos: People Magazine/Hello Magazine

It seemed every tabloid was fighting for the first shots of the Brangelina wonder twins; in the end People Magazine won the bidding war for the American version and Hello Magazine for the International distribution. Here are the cover shots for 3 weeks old Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline.

In the 19-page (yes, 19 pages!) interview in People, Brad and Angelina talk about what it is like to have an ever-growing family.

On running a house with six children: "It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time. Sometimes it's a cukoo's nest."
 
On what the couple's older children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 - have been up to at the Château Miraval in Provence, France: "They have been enjoying a summer of playing outdoors; they love to play hide-and-seek is a favorite."

On the older children's reactions to the new babies: "[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them. It's sweet – they are little mommies."

Check out the complete scoop -- both issues hit stores today.



CHRISTINA APPLEGATE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER

Sad news to report...Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with breast cancer. The actress, who got her start playing Kelly Bundy on the wildly popular Married With Children, announced the news through her publicist this weekend.

According to her rep, she was diagnosed early, due to frequent check-ups and a requested MRI from her doctor. Christina has always been faithful about getting checked, as her mother had been previously treated for the same disease. She is currently undergoing treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.

Her rep also announced that she was not planning on missing too much of filming her hit TV show, Samantha Who?, for which Christina has been nominted for the Best Actress Emmy award.

NEW MILEY PHOTOS LEAKED


Well, it's been a few days without any Miley Cyrus drama, so it figures that TrainReq, the hacker that's been publishing her semi-nude photos would take an opportunity to put her name back in the headlines. So this week he leaked some new photos of the teen queen.

The computer genius, who claims these were more from the series of photos intended for Miley's ex, Nick Jonas, says he also has saved e-mail and text messages from the former couple. And despite both Miley and Nick claiming they have taken vows to remain virgins until they are married, TrainReq says the messages are extremely sexual in nature.

TrainReq is also claiming to be holding completely nude (and illegal!) photos of Miley totally undressed, which he said he will give to the highest bidder. Um, too bad she's 15 and that would be considered child pornography... so we doubt those will ever see the light of day.


For those wishing to see a more fully dressed Miley, catch her tonight on the Teen Choice Awards. The award show, famous for handing out gigantic surfboards as trophies, features Miley hosting and performing her song "7 Things" as well as dancing with her BFF/video pal Mandy.

The Teen Choice Awards were recorded last night, but will air tonight at 8 PM on FOX.



GUNSHOTS AT CELEBRITY BASH



Gunshots rang out in the night at a celebrity-studded affair in Atlanta this weekend. The party, hosted by producer/Janet Jackson's man Jermaine Dupri, took place at Dreamz nightclub. Allegedly some guests were double-charged to get in the VIP area (where stars like Usher, Nelly and Diddy were haning out). Angry patrons got into a fight and gunfire erupted around 3:30 AM. Reportedly a security guard was seriously wounded; other damages have yet to be released by police, who are continuing to investigate the situation.



10 QUESTIONS TO HELP DECIDE WHO IS INVITED TO YOUR WEDDING



If you've ever sat down to decide who makes the cut for your wedding invitation list, you know the task can be a huge pain in the butt -- how do you tim that guest list down?

Experts say that you should either send this quiz to everyone on your potential list (we think this is tacky) or estimate how many of these questions that person would get correct. Scoring is below.

1) Name the city I'm living in now

2) Name at least two of my closest friends.

3) Name my current employer and my past employer.

4). Do I have any kids? What are their names?

5) Do you know the name of my fiance?

6) Do you know where my parents live and if they're alive?

7) Name at least two of my hobbies.

8) How old am I?

9) Where did I go to college?

10) Name my last boyfriend before this engagement.


Scoring:

*If you score 50% or below, you are definitely not getting an invite to the wedding.

*If you score barely over 50%, you are on the waiting list. If someone who scored better than you cannot attend, you might get an invitation.

*If you score over 60%, congrats! You get to come to the wedding.

PS -- This is also a great test to do on yourself if you feel like you got snubbed by a friend or co-worker for not being invited to their special event.

EXERCISE IN A PILL



Scientists are one step closer to creating an "exercise pill" that does everything for you! This new drug, called AICAR, turned ordinary mice into trim marathon champions during testing; researches say that they could run 44% further and 23% longer than those not on the pill.

The drug, originially created to help those people with musucular dystrophy or other disabilities exercise, will now be entering advanced human testing before it seeks FDA approval for general use.
