Britney headed out to Vegas Tuesday night and she had to make four pit stops on the way -- and not for gas! I mean, not to get gas for her car ... Anyway check out this video 'cause it's classic Britney. This girl is beyond generous with us, letting us film her going to the bathroom and all the while, with a smile on her face, laughing with our photographers! Whether you're a fan or not, you've gotta admit this girl has no pretentions and must be the most 'real' star out there. Thanks Brit!

Eva Longoria is dressed like this because:

a) She's trying to get down to her goal weight of 89 lbs. for her upcoming wedding.
b) She was shootin' some hoops with her fiance.
c) Now that Posh has moved to town, she's trying edge out Katie for the role of her new sidekick and thinks that dressing "Sporty" is the way to go. If this doesn't work, she'll go for "Baby" next.

We hate to see stories fall victim to the 24-hour news cycle, so for the benefit of those just joining us, we thought we'd point everyone towards a few stories from earlier today!

Britney Spears for mother of the year! We caught the pop princess enjoying some quality time with her sons yesterday - is she and don't forget, we caught the first glimpse of Jayden just a few days ago!

- Paris Hilton keeps her lips zipped! We tried to get a comment out of Paris regarding her lawsuit against a scandalously lurid webpage detailing some of her less-proud moments, but not only did she refuse to go on the record, she made sure her fans knew where she stands on the matter!

Looks like PETA's going to have another house on Wisteria Lane to picket - last night we spotted another one of the Housewives flashing some fur! To be fair, Teri Hatcher's pelt-adorned coat is a cut above some of the other skins we've been seeing lately, but that's still no excuse - it probably looked even better on the animal it came from than it does on Teri!

We've been waiting forever for Nicolette Sheridan and Michael Bolton to actually set a date to get married - and now we're wondering if we might just live to see the day! We spotted Nicolette with her mother and brother in tow as she shopped for clothes yesterday - could the family be in town for the big day? Stay tuned to X17 - we'll let you know as soon as we hear!

Brit's pal Isaac Cohen took over assistant duties yesterday as he chaffeured her family around Malibu and fetched her coffee. Between Isaac and Perry, Britney's got to have the best looking help ever!

Since her relationship with Joel Madden began, it seemed like Nicole had adopted more of a laid-back (although no less stylish) look. But yesterday, Nicole was looking fierce in an Hermès lavender mini-dress and white slingbacks, with her recently dyed blonde 'do slicked back. Nicole always looks great, but do you prefer her glamour-girl look or her funkier style?

Is there anything more adorable than a gorgeous guy hanging with his child(ren)? Of Gavin, Ben, Seal, Tom, and Brad, who do you think is Hollywood's hottest dad?

Madonna bid adieu to Paris and Fashion Week today by jetting off in her private plane just hours ago! Think she arrived back home in London speaking English with a French accent?

Despite recent rumors that Paula Abdul might be replaced on American Idol by none other than Courtney Love, Paula was all smiles at LAX yesterday.

While it's been reported that Britney Spears' Malibu mansion has been on the market for a few weeks now, the pop princess doesn't seem too eager to move out just yet! We're hearing that Brit and her babies have recently moved back into the large Mediterranean-style compound in Serra Retreat after playing house-guest in a host of other homes in the Malibu (one of which was rumored to belong to the Hilton family!) and Mulholland Drive areas.

Her "transition house" on Mulholland

For the curious, we've got more pix of Britney's Malibu home and Mulholland crash pad inside - who wants to see how the stars live?

Seal, at the Arclight for a late movie, told us to "get lost" when we asked how he was doing! Meanwhile, hot Kevin Zegers (TransAmerica), Dane Cook and Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother) partied over at Hyde. Brandon Davis, Caroline D'Amore, Kimberly and Sean Stewart (who looked to be in the middle of an argument with his girlfriend, but they soon kissed and made up), were also there.

When we spotted Paris Hilton heading out last night, we couldn't help but ask a few questions about the situation surrounding her lawsuit - much to her displeasure! The hotel heiress stalked to her car as quickly as possible, and then gave us more of the same when she got back to her house. Unfortunately, this meant disappointing a few ardent fans who'd been camped out for a glimpse of their heroine - although Paris, in an effort to be considerate, sent her driver out with a fistful of autographed photos and a note apologizing for ignoring them on account of our "disrespectful" questions!

Britney seems to be spending more time with her little ones recently. We caught her out yesterday smack in between Sean and Jayden in the car and the day before, she took her youngest boy out on the town with Isaac. Is Britney looking for a new daddy for her babies or just having fun?

Is there are cuter couple in Hollywood?

We spotted Tara Reid leaving the Ivy yesterday with a massive bouquet of roses - so now we're left wondering just who gave them to her? Whoever it was, they've sure got a keen eye - Tara was certainly keeping her current streak of looking fine as hell alive!

Any guesses?

We spotted a secretive celeb trying to buy a copy of L'Equipe (a French sports newspaper) on the sly - can you guess who it was?

Christina Aguilera was double-fisting liquid refreshment during her dance practice last night - water to keep her hydrated, and coffee to keep her going! (Hey, a hardworking girl like Christina needs her energy - after all, she's going to have five Pussycat Dolls to upstage once she's out on tour!)

Well, it's official - Tori Spelling's set to deliver in March! We spotted the noTORIous starlet out and about with husband Dean McDermott yesterday, and she finally let the date she's set to give birth slip through her lips. (We're a little concerned to discover that the couple hasn't picked out a name yet - y'all might want to hurry up if you don't want us reporting the birth of Oh Crap I Knew I Forgot To Do Something Spelling!)

With both Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie lying low lately, the celebrityverse has felt a little emptier than usual. Lucky for us, then, the Simple Life friends got back together last night for dinner at Mr. Chow's - and looked as magnificently put-together as we've ever seen them! Actually, not to play favorites, but Nicole really stole the show in her tiny purple dress - not that Paris looked like chopped liver, of course, but it's no wonder that she let Nicole lead the way through the throng of eager paparazzi!

Hilary? Haylie? Why choose? Patrons of Hyde last night certainly didn't have to - our cameras caught both the Duff sisters sneaking into the club together!

Get ready for this one, Idolators - Us Magazine is reporting that not only is American Idol calling Courtney Love to appear on the show as a judge, but that she might even be replacing Paula Abdul!

Given the criticisms leveled against the show for being too harsh in recent weeks, you might think that replacing a sweetheart like Paula with someone as outspoken as Courtney wasn't the smartest move - but then again, Paula's had plenty to answer for this year herself!

Paula or Courtney - who gets your vote?
