Britney Spears' Official Statement: The Tape Is Bogus

Britney Spears' rep just gave TMZ a statement, which calls the audio recording posting online "so obviously fake as to be laughable."



The statement we received goes on:  "Suffice it to say, Jason Trawick has never laid a hand on Britney."

And the rep lashes out, "This is just another example of the irresponsible nature of the tabloid media relying on shoddy sources and false information for the sole purpose of selling magazines, without regard to the truth and without regard to who they hurt in the process."  The rep says Star was informed that the story was bogus in advance, but still published it.

The rep adds that "The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney has not had any form of communication with Mr. Alexander in years."

And, the rep says, "These irresponsible statements are defamatory and Britney Spears' legal team will be taking legal action against all of the appropriate parties."

Tom Brady -- Your Loss Is Ro-Gaine

Tom Brady may be getting a new linebacker -- a hairline backer.



The folks from Rogaine tell TMZ they're more than happy to offer the reportedly follically-challenged QB a 3-month supply of the product.

Rogaine's PR people offer this sage advice to Tom:  "He shouldn't just try and grow his hair to cover that bald spot...he should try and regrow the HAIR that belongs there!"

The company wants to send Tom a free, 3-month supply of Hair Regrowth Foam -- the unscented, so he doesn't get bullied by his teammates.

On the bright side, Tom, it's another way to stay topical.

Brangelina Goes AWOL on Thanksgiving

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did their thing on Thanksgiving.
What that was, we have absolutely no idea, but it appears their kinds hung out on the beach for the holiday Angelina loathes, parents nowhere in sight.
Pax, Shiloh, Zahara, Knox and Vivienne were all spotted at the beach, accompanied by their nannies on Thanksgiving. No sign of Ange or of Brad Pitt.

REWRITING HISTORY: Brangelina will have none of it.

Pitt did comment earlier that the family would be overseas, but did not mention specific plans. Likely because Angelina Jolie hates Thanksgiving.
“Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like many other Americans,” a source said of her perception of the day.
“To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn’t her style at all."
Apparently she put her money where her mouth is, at least.

Kate Gosselin Wastes Money on Tanning

What do you do when your diva-like ways are running your family into fiscal despair? If you're Kate Gosselin, you go get your tan on in Reading, Pa.
The mother of eight was seen exiting a local tanning salon, where she channeled her inner Snooki, before heading over to do "business" at a FedEx.
Here's Kate looking lean and sort of tan ...

BRIGHTER DAYS: Kate Gosselin has seen them.

We're not criticizing the tanning industry overall, but it seems like a waste of money when you've got eight mouths to feed and limited income, no?
Seriously, the children eat moldy food so you can do this!?!?
Kate, who recently admitted that her kids are under pressure lately, yet shows no apparent inclination to do anything about that, spent Thanksgiving day with the enormous brood before handing them off to their deadbeat dad.

Lindsay Lohan is Smoking Hot!

Lindsay Lohan looked smoking hot (or at least smoking while looking semi-hot) as she checked into an alcohol counseling meeting Sunday in Palm Springs, Calif.
Looking fresh-faced and more glamorous than we've seen in months, the rehabbing actress wore a cardigan and t-shirt with dark jeans and knee high boots.
Seriously, if you can get past the cancer stick, she looks great!

SMOKIN': Lindsay Lohan certainly is ... if only literally.

Whether she's relaxing over coffee, attending AA meetings or spending the holidays with previously estranged family members, she's doing so much better lately.
Can she revive her career? That's uncertain. But here are some recent Lindsay Lohan pictures showing just how far she's come. Take a look below, then tell us ...

Lindsay Lohan: Would you hit it?

Kardashian Konfidential Konfessions: Khloe's Virginity, Kim's Krush and More!

Kritics of Kardashian Konfidential have understandably wondered:
What could Kourtney, Khloe and Kim possibly reveal in this "sisterhood autobiography?" The siblings blog about every aspect of their lives and let cameras film such intimate moments as a bikini wax.
But we've (unfortunately) read the book and can state that it actually does contain a few juicy tidbits. Why should the public care about when Khloe lost her virginity? We have no idea. Still, it's one of several items we learned from the tome and report on below.

1. Khloe gave it up to an older man when she was 14. She used to steal Bruce Jenner's car and drive to secret sex sessions with this boyfriend, but tells readers NOT to be like her: "You should never, ever have sex when you're that young," her ghost writer she writes. "Feeling rushed and pressured and unsure should have been my clue that I wasn't ready to take that step."

2. Kourtney needs to be perfect. At least when it comes to organization. She writes about needing everything in her fridge lined up in a certain away; same for glasses and dishes. She also "has to have" pink dish gloves and the same style of hangars throughout the house.

3. Kim has a woman crush on Jennifer Lopez. She describes her first, nervous meeting with the singer/actress and how J. Lo "made me think it was sexy to have a big booty." Looks like someone will be watching American Idol this season.

4. Kim encourages you to talk to her. Saying she gets "excited" to see fans dressed in her style, this sister adds: "I like being myself, I don't want to be unapproachable."

This is especially true if you're famous and/or a professional athlete.
