There’s a lot that goes into a name. Back in Biblical times, someone’s name usually determined their destiny. And Destiny Hope Cyrus has officially changed her name to Miley.
Sure, most people never knew her as anything other than “Miley,” but the Hannah Montana actress/singer had been going by a moniker given to her years ago.
Originally, the nickname was “Smiley” when Cyrus was growing up, due to her constant penchant for a big smile.
And here’s the kicker- she took “Ray” as her middle name, to honor her father Billy Ray Cyrus. In other words, Destiny Hope Cyrus is now Miley Ray Cyrus.
Britney Spears shows up to pick up kids, problem is …
They aren’t her kids. Man, this is the strangest Britney Spears story yet, which is saying a lot.
US Magazine says, “She was just rambling and confused,” says the witness, who approached Spears to ask if she was OK. “She said, ‘I’m here to pick up my kids.’ But then she changed her story and said, ‘They aren’t my kids; I have a new attorney, and I came to pick them up for her.’”
Check out what witnesses said.
“It became the talk of the school. Some of the kids were freaked out,” says a school source. She was directed to a more secure entrance around back.
But before getting into her car and driving off (without any children), she chatted up the female witness: “She said, ‘You’re so nice. You should give me your number. I don’t have very many friends.’”
You have friends Britney. Imaginary friends. Which are the best kind you know. I know sometimes they act all mean and stuff, but they are always with you. They are always there to tell you to go to a gas station bathroom, or bang a paparrazi so he can sell your story. Or get you banned from nightclubs.
I want Britney’s number. I bet she is incredible in bed. Crazy broads always are.
I can’t believe she is even allowed near Elementary Schools. I have a feeling the judge will take notice in at the February hearing!
Statement from record label Universal Music Group”Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors. She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction.”
I am giving this a Robert Downey Jr. snowball chance in hell. She is an addict. She will got to rehab, meet more addicts, and party on. This train ain’t stoppin’ for some silly rehab program.
Plus, sorry, but rehab is for quitters. I don’t think Amy Winehouse is exactly the quitting type. She is a physiological warrior, her body can endure tons of chemicals. She has worked hard to be able to function as a total mess, why throw all that hard work down the drain? I doubt highly this episode last.
Addressing the sudden death of his nephew, Heath Ledger’s uncle told CBS’ Early Show this morning that Ledger’s passing was “a tragic accident”.
According to Us Weekly reports, when his uncle was asked whether or not “irresponsibility” had anything to do with it, Haydn Ledger replied, “It just wouldn’t come into the equation at all.”
“It’s certainly, as far as we’re concerned, a tragic accident and death,” Heath’s uncle continued.
Joining Hadyn for the interview, which was based out of his hometown of Perth, Australia, was another uncle of The Patriot actor, Mike Ledger.
Meanwhile, as far as the investigation into the cause of death is concerned, “Ledger’s initial autopsy results were inconclusive. It will take about 10 days to complete the investigation,” according to the medical examiner.
She’s been embracing her pregnancy like a champ, maintaining her constant on-the-go lifestyle in spite of a growing baby bump. And it sounds like Jessica Alba is going to make a great mommy.
Reportedly, she’s even been having dreams about her soon-to-be-born. She told press, “[One dream] had to do with breastfeeding, which is the only thing I’m paranoid about. More than giving birth.”
Apparently another aspect of being preggers that has her concerned is the whole weight-gaining thing. “I try to eat as healthy as possible… [and] exercise. As long as I don’t gain too much, too fast, that’s the key.”
Jessica also confessed that she’s been feeling, “a lot more emotions. Anything could make me incredibly angry or break down crying. That’s not something I’m used to.”

Henry Hager and Jenna Bush will be married on May 10 at the latter’s family’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.
As if President Bush needs an actual reason to take a vacation.
“It’s going to be a small wedding,” a source said to People. “She’s very excited. They make a great couple.”
The couple announced its engagement in August, during which time First Lady Laura Bush said she’d love the idea of a White House wedding, but also added “of course we want to do what Jenna wants to do.”
For a long time now, of course, Jenna has wanted to do Hager. He’s former Commerce Department staff member who’s in his final year of the MBA program at Virginia’s Darden School.
“I am thrilled for Henry and Jenna, knowing how great marriage can be,” President Bush profoundly said, adding that marriage can also be hard work and that the occasional surge in hugs is needed.
We’d like to wish Hager and Bush the best. May their union last at least twice as long as that of Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds.
Lauren Conrad attended the premiere of Cloverfield last night. But reporters weren’t intersted in her take on this mysterious monster movie.
They wanted to know how long she’d star on The Hills for.
“I don’t know,” she told Us Weekly. “I’m just having fun with it now.”
And making boat loads of money, to boot!
“We had two weeks off during Christmas, and it was really nice to have a break,” LC continued. “But at the same time you miss the crew. The crew members are really good friends of ours so it’s kind of cool to get back into it.”
Conrad was also asked about how awful Heidi Montag was as a human being. Just kidding. She actually spoke on her upcoming fall fashion show instead of her former friend/current rival.
“Paris was the inspiration for the show — the whole Parisian theme,” she said.
Does she ever get overwhelmed?
“A little bit,” Conrad said. “I have a lot on my plate right now, but I’m having fun with it. I like being busy.”
A birthday is a big deal, and now that her 34th is upon her, party girl Kate Moss is celebrating in style.
According to press reports, the supermodel, who currently is busy moving into a new $8 million pad, has already kicked off one of as many as five different bashes set to occur.
Kate is “easing herself into party mode in a $5,000 a-night suite at the Dorchester hotel in Mayfair, where she’s been joined by her closest female friends - Davinia Taylor, Fran Cutler, Meg Matthew, Kelly Osbourne and Kate’s daughter Lily Grace.”
The plans call for a Chinese meal at the hotel’s China Tang, owned by her good friend David Tang.
From there, “Kate and her posse plan to drop off at the house of Serena Rees, the founder of Agent Provocateur who is a good friend and also hosted an afterparty on her 30th birthday after they famously went off the rails at Claridges.”
Then, after planned stops at their local pub in north London and her best friend Davinia Taylor’s house, “stragglers are planning to have a house-warming at Kate’s grand new home in St John’s Wood, which painters and decorators have spent the past four days frantically doing-up.”
