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.
