Wacky Sports Folleys

Entertainment Quickies

I see a red door and I want to paint it bleep
Veteran rockers The Rolling Stones were enraged by the censorship of their sexually suggestive lyrics during Superbowl XL this past weekend branding it as "absolutely ridiculous and completely unnecessary". The NFL has gone on record, claiming the band agreed to the censorship beforehand as a precautionary measure to avoid any backlash from family audiences; reminiscent of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction two years prior.

Editors turned down the microphone for risqué lines in Start Me Up and Rough Justice from The Stones' new album A Bigger Bang which in itself sounds risqué. Okay, here's what confuses me: Were these songs not already agreed upon before the show? And hasn't Start Me Up been around for years? If they wanted a risk free performance, they should've signed on Raffi.

Baby, you can drive my car...
Just when Britney Spears was proving to be the more competent parent, she was photographed with her baby Sean Preston sitting perilously in her lap while driving through Malibu. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) are going to investigate Spears who claims she took off without strapping her child in the backseat because she was suddenly hounded by paparazzi. However, the DCFS and California police might not take sympathy on the young mother/pop diva. Under California law, it's illegal to have a child as young as Sean Preston not restrained in a baby seat. Britney can expect a $270 fine at the very least.

My question is why wasn't husband Kevin Federline in the backseat? You know, behind a cage with child-protected locks trying to bum a smoke off the officer. But hey, that's neither here nor there.

L.A.'s Let's Be Friends

Crow and Armstrong split

Apparently he wasn't Armstrong enough to be her man…wow; that was bad

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and multi-Grammy winner Sheryl Crow have called it quits after a 6-month engagement and a two-year courtship. The pair announced in a joint statement Friday night: "After much thought and consideration we have made a very tough decision to split up. We both have a deep love and respect for each other and we ask that everyone respect our privacy during this very difficult time,"

This would have been her first married and his second with three children from his previous marriage.

Crow, 43, however, managed to bounce back from this split to model at a charity fashion show this past weekend. Hopefully the 34-year-old Armstrong can find the strength to overcome this breakup. After all, he recovered from testicular cancer to become the dominant athlete in one of the world's most grueling sporting events – what’s a little "she's just not that into you"?

Look who's hooking up in Tinseltown

That is just his lightsabre, but he's still happy to see her
So Sienna Miller is giving Penelope Cruz a run for her peso on who can shack up with a co-star the fastest. Miller, still on the rebound and recouping from the fiasco known as Jude Law, has been romantically involved with her Layer Cake co-star Daniel Craig and of course, Law, whom she met on the set of Alfie. Now Canadian actor Hayden Christensen, whom she worked with in the upcoming film Factory Girl, is the object of her affection. Until her next film, that is.

The couple has been spotted canoodling, flirting and (gulp) karaoking at the cast party for Factory Girl. And most recently, they were caught shopping at the mall on a Sunday afternoon – awww, he must really like her like her!

Note: there is only ONE Star Wars reference! Be proud of me!

Life after Jessica for Lachey
Could it be Nick Lachey has found a new main squeeze after his high-profile divorce to pop diva Jessica Simpson? In Touch reports Lachey's been keeping close company with one-time Miss Kentucky USA and would-be actress, Elizabeth Arnold. The pair has been seen "making out" at various L.A. hot spots (note to self: go to L.A.)

Lachey's reps refuse to comment on Nick's busy hands with Arnold but it's safe to say when people see them they will ask, "who's that girl with Nick?" in stead of "There's Jessica and that 98 Degrees guy."

Desperate Booty Calls?
Okay, this one may be a stretch but rumour has it Hollywood's most eligible bachelor George Clooney may be sweeping a Desperate Housewife off her feet. Clooney and Teri Hatcher, who conveniently live on the same street in Studio City (note to self: go to Studio City), have created buzz around Tinseltown that they are dating.

Both, of course have dismissed these rumours, though when asked about it by Extra, Clooney says "Yes, I heard that," before adding, "She's fantastic. She's a friend. I've known her for 15 years."

Translation: "It was bound to happen."
