Spears spoiled Chambers' hospital stay

Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers blames Britney Spears for shining the media spotlight on his private battle with exhaustion. The actor checked himself into UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles for a break just days before Spears was admitted into the same hospital in a media frenzy.

And Chambers insists only his family and close friends would have known about his health issues if the hospital hadn't become a hotspot for reporters and the paparazzi. The 37-year-old tells the new issue of US magazine Life + Style, "I only got attention because Britney came. Otherwise, it would've been private."

Even Chambers' Grey's Anatomy castmates didn't know about the actor's hospital stay - until the media alerted them.

Britney Spears could have her own TV show

Posted on Monday, March 31, 2008 (EST)
Following her very successful guest appearance on 'How I Met Your Mother,' Britney Spears has received several offers for her own TV show and her conservator and father, Jamie Spears, is evaluating the offers.

March 31, 2008 (Sawf News) - Following her very successful guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother, Britney Spears has received several offers for her own TV show and her conservator and father, Jamie Spears, is evaluating the offers.

Though Britney is back in the studio working on a new album Jamie is wary of the irregular hours that she tends to keep. Jamie "wants his daughter at a normal 9-to-5 job to keep her working and out of trouble," a source close to the Spears family told Pagesix

"A sitcom would do that. So he's exploring several offers for Britney to have her own show," Recently Tina Fey, star/creator/executive producer of 30 Rock was asked if Britney could make a guest appearance on the show. "We usually write a part first and think about who would be good," she said.

"If there were a part that would be appropriate, I don't think we would hesitate to go to somebody like that. I actually worked with Britney twice at 'Saturday Night Live' and she was professional and nice," she added.

Britney Spears enters academic world

In an unprecedented move by Baruch to boost the reputation of its information technology major, the college has announced that Britney Spears will teach a class in "Artificial Intelligence and Robotics" this fall.

Or rather, a robot that looks and talks exactly like Britney Spears. The project is funded by The Betty Ford Celebrity Rehab Center and Spears' recording label. By partnering with Baruch College, the program is a novel way to facilitate the star's problematic rehab. "I'm willing to try anything once … and I mean anything," the strung-out, bald-headed star was quoted as saying.

The idea is to provide Spears with a completely different image of her total potential. If Spears sees herself as a robot, teaching a complex class in artificial intelligence and interacting with students in a rational and logical way, it might remap her consciousness into acting like a normal human. "Think of it as a kind of visual shock therapy," said Quigley Persnoot, spokesperson for the Ford Center. "If this doesn't work," he said, "the next step is to implant microchips in her brain."

There is even some buzz around the potential for a robot reality show. Fox Network is watching this closely. Tentatively titled Robot Reality Rehab, the show would have celebrity robots Lindsay Lohan teaching rocket science, Nicole Ritchie instructing brain surgery and Eliot Spitzer with a class on the lasting impact of Puritan philosophy in American Society.

Students are generally enthusiastic and intrigued by having a celebrity instructor - even if she's plastic. Mala Roy, 19 and an IT major, wondered how the Spears robot would work. "I mean, are they going to, like, pull a really, really long string right before class?" she asked.

Not exactly. Marcel Duchamp, a Baruch IT student who worked on the initial Britney prototype (Britney Bot 1.0), described how he encoded a series of nano chips with lesson plans. Britney Bot is programmed to be spontaneous and answer class questions. Students are in no danger of being kidnapped. She will be able to take attendance by scanning the room and recording the imprint of students' irises. Birtney Bot will also be able to sense students' comprehension and keep a running grade total that is constantly monitored and updated. Points are deducted if you stare at her chest.

Silverstone Denies Quitting Show Because of Spears

Actress Alicia Silverstone is laughing off reports she pulled out of a role in the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" after learning she'd be appearing opposite Britney Spears.

Spears plays a receptionist/secretary in an upcoming episode of the show, and insiders claim her boss was supposed to be Silverstone.

But Silverstone's publicist Elizabeth Much insists the actress' links to the TV show ended long before Spears' name was even mentioned.

She explains, "Alicia was in discussions to do the show but the deal never went through. This happens all of the time in Hollywood. It had nothing to do with Britney."

Spears will play a secretary to actor Josh Radner's character Ted when the episode airs later this year.
