Britney is apparently very worried about her boys. While currently on her Circus tour, she has been receiving anonymous death threats. Her tour security has been upgraded because of this. But, even more disturbing, she has been having nightmares and waking up in the middle of the night, screaming for her boys. Perhaps she should postpone a show or two until she feels more comfortable about the situation. STALKER, SHAME ON YOU! My prayers are with you and the boys, Britney.
Britney’s tour is scheduled to stop in Dallas on March 31.
BRITNEY AND THE BOYS
Britney rang in the New Year with her sons Jayden James, 2, and Preston, 3, at her brother Bryan’s intimate wedding in Louisiana.

JOURNALICIOUS RESOLUTIONS

KIM KARDASHIAN:
“Probably just to continue last year, which was to get in shape and stop eating sweets. I think I’m going to continue that because I broke it a little bit.”

JAMIE FOXX:
“I’m looking for the right woman. I need a magnifying glass! I’m trying to find that rare jewel.”

BRITNEY SPEARS:
“I would like to stop worrying so much because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier, just in general. And to stop biting my nails!”

EVA LONGORIA PARKER
“To give up meat.”

FERGIE
“It’s always the same: to work out more and eat healthier. I’m trying to go organic, eat more raw.”

ASHLEE SIMPSON
“All my focus is on my son. Every day, being a better mom and learning with him. It’s an incredible experience.”

CARMEN ELECTRA
“To have more fun! I was just with Jenny McCarthy not too long ago, and she said, ‘Carmen, life is supposed to be fun.’ And I remembered that, it stayed in my head. And that is my goal.”

COOLIO
“No bills in ‘09. Live off other people. We’re in an economic crunch right now, so I’m not trying to pay any bills. I want somebody else to pay my bills, so you get me like 10 [women] with money. Nah, I’m just kidding.”

KANYE WEST:
“My resolution is to be as nice as possible to the press.”

JOURNALICIOUS! UPDATES
Paula Abdul is ready to bid farewell to American Idol in order to work on other TV projects. The new judge is Kara DioGuardi.
Recently, when a fan mistook Hayden Panettiere for Lindsay Lohan, the TV star reportedly yelled “You have no idea what an insult that is!”
It’s not true. Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are not getting married. But recently in a London club, Lindsay had a fit when girls threw panties into the DJ booth and gave Sam their numbers.
Linda Hogan is apparently taking her ex-husband Hulk Hogan to court claiming he sold his trademarks to prevent her from attaining the profits.
Sarah Palin may join the cast of Desperate Housewives. Marc Cherry wants the ex-VP candidate to appear on the show’s season finale. Desperate… just flashed forward five years, rumor has it that Palin may play the role of the President.
The source of Jayden James’ allergic reaction was apparently some fried chicken that he ate. Britney Spears’ son actually had a seisure. But is doing fine now.
Carrie Underwood says she isn’t a fan of revenge. The singer advocates: “If you feel like you have to get revenge on somebody, most likely you should turn the other cheek … and walk away,” which is good news for Jessica Simpson.
Britney Spears’ Son Hospitalized
The youngest son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline has been hospitalized for some kind of medical reaction but is expected to be discharged soon. Two-year-old Jayden James was admitted to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center on Sunday after having “a reaction to something he ingested,” a representative for Ms. Spears’ family said in a prepared statement.
The hospital is near Ms. Spears’ home in Kentwood, La., where she is reportedly staying with family.
BRITNEY’S TRIAL DISMISSED
After three days of deliberation, a mistrial was declared Tuesday in Britney Spears’s misdemeanor trial for driving without a license. The jury was deadlocked 10-2 in favor of the singer’s innocence, the foreman said in open court.
“The jury is hopelessly deadlocked, and I declare this a mistrial,” stated Judge James A. Steele, who later dismissed the case.

Lisa Marie Presley, who was married to Jackson from 1994 to 1996, says, “I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me.”
“I can’t stop crying over the sad news,” Madonna told People. “I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.”
“I’m hurt,” Lupe Fiasco told MTV News in a statement. “But I’m celebrating his life and his music. Dancing and crying and dancing in public. Holding heart-to-heart conversations with complete strangers about one of the things, if not the only thing, we share in common, That Is The Legendary MoonWalker Himself. A white guy in a pickup truck pulled alongside me on the expressway and shouted to me, had I heard about Mike?!? It’s surreal and it’s everywhere!!! Every time I feel like getting sad, one of his songs comes on, and I’m just filled with happiness and start singing and smiling. He was the best to ever do it. Salaams, Peace & Blessings. May Allah have mercy on his soul. We Love You MJ!!!”
“We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music but of all music,” Justin Timberlake, who was clearly influenced by Jackson, wrote on his Web site. “He has been an inspiration to multiple generations, and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.”
In a long, heartfelt statement, Usher said he was “deeply saddened” by the loss and paid tribute to Jackson’s legacy. “May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire Jackson family particularly Michael’s mother, children and all his fans that loved him so much. I would not be the artist, performer, and philanthropist I am today without the influence of Michael. I have great admiration and respect for him and I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer, who in so many ways, transcended the culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world. His legacy is unparalleled. Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.”
“He was magic,” said Beyoncé Knowles. He was what we all strive to be. He will always be the King of Pop!”
In a statement Thursday afternoon Britney Spears said, “I was so excited to see his show in London. We were going to be on tour in Europe at the same time and I was going to fly in to see him. He has been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I’m devastated he’s gone!”
Whitney Houston eleased a statement saying simply, “I am full of grief.”
Paul McCartney, who collaborated with Jackson at the height of his success, writes on his Web site: “I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented… man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones.”
Elizabeth Taylor, one of Jackson’s closest and longstanding friends, was “too devastated” to issue a statement,” her rep says.
Quincy Jones, who produced Jackson’s biggest hits, says, “I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words.”
Cher, calling in to Larry King Live on CNN, shared many memories of Jackson, including dancing together on the Queen Mary and seeing the musical Dreamgirlstogether. “I am having a million reactions,” said Cher. “When I think of him, I think of this young boy, this teenager I first met … He was a great teenager, optimistic and adorable.”
“My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael,” adds Brooke Shields, who raised eyebrows when she briefly dated Jackson. “He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing.”
Oscar winner Jane Fonda used Twitter to express her grief, writing, “I am stunned. My friend, Michael Jackson is dead. He lived with me for a week on the Golden Pond set after ‘Thriller.’ “
On his Web site, former child actor Corey Feldman, who was once very close friends with Jackson, posted a statement mourning his old pal. “I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend,” Feldman writes.
“Unfortunately Michael and I had a falling out on September 10th 2001 and that broken friendship had never been repaired,” he adds. “I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse. All I choose to remember from this point is the good times we shared and what an inspiration he was to me and the rest of the world. Nobody will ever be able to do what Michael Jackson has done in this industry, and he was so close to doing it all again. I am truly, and deeply sorry for all of the heartbroken fans and supporters worldwide.”
