| Britney's
Crotch |
AP reports: Fresh from her split from the
club-hopping Federline, Spears looked hip and wholesome weeks ago in a
surprise appearance on David Letterman's show and while ice skating in
New York's Rockefeller Center in a Gap sweater. But now she's unleashing
her inner wild child, running around with party girls Paris Hilton and
Lindsay Lohan, sporting unflattering hair extensions and flashing her apparently
panty-less crotch to the paparazzi. (Be prepared to cringe if you dare
to view the uncensored photos, splashed unceremoniously across the Web).

| Lohan
to Play Stevie? |
TMZ reports: According to a source quoted
in Life & Style, Lindsay may make a Ray-like film portraying rock goddess
Stevie Nicks. "Lindsay says that movies like "Ray" and Walk the Line" are
good examples of the kinds of projects she'd like to do," the source says.
"She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks
at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame. Lindsay loves the music of that
era." Linds may even be looking to wear a producer hat for this project
as well.
Lindsay recorded a breathy version of Stevie's
hit, "Edge of Seventeen" (I still prefer Jack Black's in School of Rock),
on her record released last December, "A Little More Personal (Raw)." Even
though the record didn't garner rave reviews, it makes sense that Lindsay
may think she can pull off something like this. A Lohan rep says she has
"no clue" as to whether La Lohan is seriously considering the role. [see

of one of rock's best female vocalists]- Click

End of Trail of Tears |
blabbermouth.net reports: Norway's TRAIL OF
TEARS has split up. The group's official statement on the matter reads
as follows:
"It is with great regret that we announce
that Jonathan [Perez; drums], Kjell [Hagen; bass], Runar [Hansen; guitar]
and Kjetil [Nordhus; vocals] yesterday (November 28th, 2006) left TRAIL
OF TEARS. The decision was taken with immediate effect, and thus the band
does not longer excist. TRAIL OF TEARS will therefore have to cancel all
forthcoming shows, including the X-mas [Festivals] tour dates in December,
and we sincerely appologize for any inconvenience this might lead to. [see
