BRIT DATING MAGICiAN?
August 21, 2007
The UK Daily Mail reports that pop princess BRITNEY SPEARS hooked up with professional illusionist/magician CRISS ANGEL.
According to the British newspaper, “The chaotic star was seen returning to an LA hotel at 4am with the magician after a night drinking champagne.
The Vegas showman -- who stars in his own TV show called ‘Mindfreak’ -- invited her to spend the night with him… and she agreed. They tried to check in to the exclusive Hotel Bel-Air but staff refused them a room. The pair then went to The Tower Beverly Hills hotel where they were seen holding hands on the way to their 11th floor suite and spotted opening a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne on the balcony.
At 2 A.M., they came down clutching champagne and went for a late-night drive in Criss’ Rolls Royce Phantom. They then returned to the hotel at 4 A.M. -- after allegedly ordering Britney’s bodyguard to pick up some condoms at a 7-Eleven store.”
Prior to his little escapade with the 26-year-old popstar, Criss was working his magic on actress CAMERON DIAZ. They reportedly went on a “couple dates” last month before calling it quits. The suave 39-year-old magician has also been romantically linked to troubled actress LINDSAY LOHAN.

PINK’S CHEATING HART?
August 21, 2007
Star Magazine is reporting that pop star PINK and her husband CAREY HART are having marital problems –- because he may be cheating on her.
On August 4th, while Pink –- real name ALECIA MOORE -- was on tour in Europe promoting her latest album ‘I’m Not Dead’, her tattooed hubbie Carey was at play in a Hollywood night club, partying hard with a pretty, young blonde, an eyewitness tells the tabloid publication.
A source is quoted as saying, “It sure didn’t look like Pink’s husband [Carey Hart] was married that night! He had a cute blonde in a tight dress sitting on his lap all night. They were laughing and drinking vodka with her arms wrapped around him in a corner VIP booth. Nobody seemed to make a big deal out of Carey making out with her. It was as if this was nothing new for him. Carey never mentioned Pink the entire night. It seemed like everyone just thought he wasn’t with her anymore, that they had broken up. They were seriously making out. It looked like Pink was definitely not on his mind. When the club closed, he and the blonde left hand in hand. They didn’t look like they were about to say their good-byes!”
Pink and the motocross champ tied the knot less than 2 years ago on a romantic beachside wedding in Costa Rica. But since they’ve been married, the couple reportedly only see each other about a week each month because of their busy schedules.
