Is the AP Out of Line Pre-Writing Britney's Obituary?
While the whole world is watching every tragic move Britney Spears makes these days, it was still unsettling to read yesterday that an entertainment reporter from the Associated Press admitted to Us Weekly that not only would her death be a huge story but they've already got her obituary drafted up. He said,
"We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time...I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now...Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now…but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared."
He went on to say that the AP keeps an "extensive" list of obits pre-written.
Agyness and Albert Split?
Agyness Deyn cut a forlorn figure as she strolled around New York City yesterday, as reports suggest the model has split from her rocker Albert Hammond Jr. Apparently it was a mutual decision and the pair want to stay friends, so it sounds like it's amicable. New York Magazine published a relationship obituary reporting the news, and also claimed the couple were never engaged. Let's hope that smoothie and bag of Agent Provocateur goodies helps cheer up Agy.

Bella Donna: Claudette Colbert
As my grandma would say, Claudette Colbert was a smart lady. Not just smart for her keen business sense, but for her fashionable, ambitious personality, too. Born in France as Lily Chauchoin, Colbert came to America as a young girl.
Bella Donna: Greta Garbo
Swedish born actress Greta Garbo, née Greta Lovisa Gustafson, was known for her alluring, sensual, and extremely private nature. Before striking it big in both the silent and "talkies" film eras, her first job was in the beauty biz (ah, a girl after Bella's heart) as a lather girl at a local barbershop.
Another early job involved modeling hats, which ironically became one of Garbo's trademark accessories.
Get Motivated: Remembering Pitcher Dottie Collins
A League of Their Own always makes me teary-eyed. Not only is it a funny, bittersweet, and touching sports movie, but the true story behind it — of the short-lived All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — is incredibly inspirational. Even watching the fictional movie, I'm always moved by the idea of so many talented female athletes playing together and capturing the nation's imagination during a difficult time.
In the News: Political Humor at Home
The New York Times has an article and interesting slideshow showcasing the 1830 townhouse of director Roland Emmerich (10,000 BC, Independence Day) in London. When the German-born director moved into stuffy neighborhood Knightsbridge, he asked his interior designer to create a space that was “as nonfrumpy as possible,” that reflected "his predilection for art with a political edge." Especially during a national election, these days, political humor is rampant.
Poll: Is Hillary Bullied?
Last week, the press was definitely quick to write Hillary Clinton's political obituary following her disappointing third-place finish in Iowa.
After her display of emotion, but before her comeback in New Hampshire, Hillary told Diane Sawyer:
"You know for both Sen. Edwards and Obama, they've been given pretty much a free ride and that's fine.
