celebrity-news Adrienne Bailon Considers $100,000 Offer To Pose Nude For Playboy

The Cheetah Girls star Adrienne Bailon has reportedly been offered a $100,000 deal to pose naked for Playboy magazine.

The singer/actress recently became Internet fodder when a close friend revealed she had collaborated with a website to leak nude photos of herself as a publicity stunt. She claimed her laptop was stolen at a New York airport and snaps showing the Disney starlet posing provocatively for the camera subsequently appeared online.

Her friend and former Hollywood publicist Jonathon Jaxson explained to the press, “Adrienne’s tour with Cheetah Girls will be over December 22nd, so she is then free to pursue other projects and wanted to be seen as more adult and sexy. So after the laptop was stolen we used it as an opportunity to drum up some publicity and start speculating about nude photos, but we never expected anything to get out.”

The 25-year-old beauty “is mulling” a $100,000 deal from Hugh Hefner’s popular publication to do “stylish photos with full nudity in a sufficient quantity and quality,” according to the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six. In addition, the star would get $100 a day for room service and phone charges if she went on a promotional tour. …on the edge of your seat? Keep reading!

Former King of Pop Michael Jackson has finally sold his Neverland Ranch to a private company after years of financial struggles.

celebrity-news Britney Spears Son Rushed To Hospital After Seizure

Britney Spears’ son Jayden James has been admitted to a hospital in Mississippi after reportedly suffering a suspected seizure.

The two-year-old was rushed to the emergency room at the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Centre on Sunday afternoon after he apparently collapsed at the pop princess’ family home, which is 25 miles away from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

A source tells Daily Mail, “One minute Britney and her sons were relaxing and enjoying their first visit to Kentwood in months, and the next minute Jayden had fallen ill.

“He was vague and unresponsive so Britney dialed an ambulance. But she was told it would take half an hour to arrive, and she was best trying to get Jayden to the hospital herself.”

Jayden James, the singer’s second son with ex-husband Kevin Federline, was said to have been “kept in hospital overnight for observations”. K-Fed is now reportedly planning to fly out from his home in Los Angeles to join his ex-wife at their son’s hospital bedside.

The source added, “We don’t yet know what’s wrong with him. Britney was insistent that she wouldn’t leave him. She asked for a bed to be made up in the same room so she could be there at his side.”

celebrity-news Britney Spears Father Granted Permanent Conservatorship

Britney Spears’ father has been granted permanent conservatorship of his daughter’s business affairs and career opportunities by a Los Angeles court on October 28th, 2008.

Jamie Spears was originally put in control of the Toxic hitmaker’s affairs in February, following her two forced hospitalizations in January. The temporary conservatorship was set to expire on December 31st, but Ms. Spears’ lawyers told Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz that the singer had no objections with her father remaining in control.

Her court-appointed attorney Samuel Ingham told the judge, “I’ve met several times with (Britney) and she requested that I not object to the permanent conservatorship.” Goetz concluded that the permanent conservatorship was “necessary and appropriate for the complexity of financial and business entities and her being susceptible to undue influence”.

It is claimed that the pop star hopes the move will make it easier for her to regain custody of her children, because the family law commissioner overseeing the case will know she has help caring for them.
