Britney's Rehab Lover?, McGowan & Rodriguez Affair?

MSNBC reports that pop princess BRITNEY SPEARS is currently dating singer/songwriter HOWIE DAY, after meeting him during her stay in rehab.

While at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, Spears reportedly "fell hard" for the 25-year-old Day and is said to be taking him to her cousin ERIC's wedding on June 2.

An insider tells the tabloid, “Britney just lights up and seems back to her old self when she talks to Howie or tells people about him… She thinks he's very talented - and says he's the best kisser ever!”

However, Britney’s mom, LYNN SPEARS wasn’t too thrilled when she learned about the romance. Lynne’s reportedly concerned about Day’s troubled past -- where he was arrested twice and sent to rehab as part of his probation.

Back in 2004, Day was accused and charged for locking a fan in the bathroom of his tour bus and destroying the mobile phone of another, for which he was fined. In December 2005, Day was arrested in Boston after verbally abusing the flight crew while intoxicated.

What a prize! Boy, Brit sure knows how to pick ‘em!

April 10, 2007

The New York Post reports that ‘Girls Gone Wild’ founder JOE FRANCIS got punched in the head last Saturday night at Cameo in Miami after he was caught flirting with a group of sexy Brazilian models. Apparently, one of the model’s jealous boyfriends took offense to Francis’ advances and decked the millionaire playboy. After the assault, a disheveled-looking Francis was escorted out of the club by security.

Looks like there was even more bad news for the ‘Girls Gone Wild’ creator last week. In a separate incident, EntertainmentWise reports that a Florida Judge ordered Francis to serve jail time for contempt of court.

Authorities claim that during settlement negotiations, Francis shouted profanities at the seven women suing him. Judge SMOAK ordered him to be arrested last Saturday, but that was later suspended after he learned Francis made an offer to the girls. Shortly after, Francis allegedly changed the conditions of the offer.

Judge Smoak said, "He may have snookered us and gotten out Saturday, but he's coming back"

The 34-year-old Francis fired back telling the Associated Press that the judge "had lost his mind," adding, "This judge has gone so far as to call me the devil and an evil-doer. It is a case of a judge gone wild."
