What do Barack Obama and Britney Spears have in common? They both have plans to deliver their own message in separate primetime specials.
To help promote her sixth album (and to show the world that she’s finally back on track), Britney Spears will open up her life for an upcoming MTV documentary. The feature - titled Britney: For the Record - will give fans behind-the-scenes access into the pop star’s life. Shot over a three-month period, the 90-minute piece includes video of Spears in the recording studio and preparing for the VMAs.
In the doc (which can be previewed after the jump), the revamped 26-year-old will also candidly address the craziness from the past couple of years. Britney hopes this special will allow her to tell her side of the stories.

UPDATE: Both Hugh and Kendra have also acknowledged the end of their relationships.
So much for the rumors of a fourth girlfriend. It looks like Hugh Hefner may soon be starting all over again—period.
Despite constant denials about changes within the Playboy Mansion, Holly Madison recently admitted to TMZ that she is no longer the Hef. This news comes just as the fifth season of The Girls Next Door is getting underway.
Over the past few weeks, the buzz around the trio’s status has really started to pick up. Paparazzi photos of Holly Madison partying with illusionist Criss Angel haven’t helped the matter. Neither has Kendra Wilkinson’s supposed relationship with Philadelphia Eagles star Hank Baskett.

If you thought Paris Hilton’s presidential run ended with her first campaign video, you were wrong. Although the hotel heiress has been spending a lot of time lately looking for a new BFF, she has not yet set aside her political aspirations.
In her latest clip (which can be seen after the jump), Hilton seeks out advice from a former fake politician—the West Wing‘s President Jed Bartlet (a.k.a Martin Sheen).

UPDATE: Castroneves pleaded not guilty today and was released on $10 million bail.
Have we learned nothing from Richard Hatch and Wesley Snipes?
Helio Castroneves, the former winner of Dancing with the Stars, was indicted today for federal tax evasion. According to the indictment obtained in Miami, the 33-year-old underpaid the government between 1999-2004.
Helio, along with along with his sister (Katiucia Castroneves) and lawyer, are currently being accused of hiding over $5 million of the race car driver’s earnings. The trio allegedly tried “to conceal and disguise the true and correct amount” by using an offshore Panamanian shell corporation. Each defendant faces charges of conspiracy “for the purpose of impeding, impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful government functions of the Internal Revenue Service.”
According to the Miami Herald, all three are expected to appear in federal court tomorrow morning. Convictions on all counts could equate to approximately 30 years in prison per person.

David Letterman Makes Anne Hathaway Squirm

And up until now, I thought Dave only liked to make Paris Hilton squirm.
Last night on the Late Show with David Letterman, the host got his chance to talk to Anne Hathaway - the former girlfriend of con man Raffaello Follieri. Although the actress was primarily on the show to promote her upcoming movie (Rachel Getting Married), she was forced to put on a brave face when the subject of her shady ex came up.
Given the host’s natural tendency to bring up uncomfortable topics, it’s fair to say Hathaway probably expected the line of questioning. That said, I still felt a bit sorry for the girl.

Those of you who followed Survivor’s season in China might remember the flirtation that blossomed between fellow Zhan Hu members Erik Huffman and Jaime Dugan. If you do, you should be happy to know that Erik’s vulnerable moments with the cute blonde weren’t a complete waste. Almost a year after revealing to everyone Jaime that he was still a virgin, the 27-year-old musician and the 23-year old Mercy Ministries employee are now engaged.
Needing help to plan a long-distance ceremony (the Nashville-based couple are hoping to marry in her hometown of Charleston, SC), the pair submitted a video in a wedding contest. The clip - which details the story of their sweet courtship - can be seen after the jump.

Three months after seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, actress Heather Locklear was arrested for a DUI. The 47-year-old was detained by the California Highway Patrol on Friday after a witness called 911.
Locklear, who was originally spotted driving erratically in a parking lot, was later seen parked on the side of the highway. According to the police report, “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane.”
This incident happened almost exactly 6 months after Heather’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora, was pulled over for drunk driving.
Although alcohol was not a factor in Locklear’s case, it’s believed the disoriented star had been under the influence of prescription medication at the time. Heather was later booked at the Santa Barbara CHP office where she eventually posted $5000 bail.

Earlier this week, Gossip Girl Vanity Fair caught Drew Barrymore doing what she does best: moving on with another man. (And by “moving on,” I mean she sought comfort with a person she will eventually discard.)
But unlike during her previous relationships, Barrymore didn’t waste time gushing about the new man in her life. She simply let her lips do the talking.
Oh - and whom would that person she’s publicly embracing be? Why that would be Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl‘s Chuck Bass). I guess that means he’s not gay?

On the left, we have Katie Holmes in a garment she and her stylist designed for the August premiere of Tropic Thunder. On the right, we have Julia Louis-Dreyfus sporting a Narciso Rodriguez creation for the 2008 Emmys.
Now, is it just me - or do the two dresses (aside from a few minor differences) look incredibly similar?
(You can view other dresses from the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards here.)
