Craig Ferguson, truly the most underrated talk show host on television, will release a book of memoirs in 2009 entitled American on Purpose. In it, Ferguson will recount his sundry jobs along the years, his voyage from Scotland musician to American host and his various battles with drug and alcohol addiction. It sounds too heartwarming for us, but good for him.
If you’ve not yet watched it, click through to see Ferguson’s great monologue on why he has a hard time making fun of Britney Spears.

The first video has been released of Britney’s second How I Met Your Mother appearance. The hair, makeup and acting are all the same, so it’s really nothing too compelling; ET, however, is almost too excited about this, and you can bet the show will have shown her entire performance in daily clips before the episode even airs.

Seriously, Madonna. You’re not in college. The crotch flashing, champagne chugging and kissing of other females is getting old.

BABY STEPS “Britney Spears has gained more visitation of her two young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James — though how much more is unclear. [Kevin Federline]’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said after the court hearing today that he wouldn’t talk about the custodial timeshare between Brit and K-Fed — except to say that it is ‘more than it has been.’”
You can be sure it’s a huge day in the TMZ newsroom: Britney and K-Fed are back in court today for their child custody hearing. And Brit even showed up, looking like she had bathed and put some effort into her clothing (no grease stains!). It’s a huge turnaround after the last time she attempted to go to court with Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib in tow; one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is good ol’ TMZ, who is streaming live outside the courthouse. It’s fascinating, if you like staring at a horde of desperate photographers and random cars.
If you feel like you’re having déjà vu, it’s understandable: The first photo was released of Britney’s second How I Met Your Mother appearance. From the looks of things, the weave has been tamed a bit. Simple pleasures.

Candace Trunzo put this week’s Star on newsstands with “Exclusive All-New Photos” of Britney Spears and her “New Bikini Body.” Nevermind that Britney’s bod isn’t the skinny thing we’re used to seeing — but the “all-new” pics of Britney that made Star’s case in this week’s issue were actually snapped at the end of March.
Megan Fox, flash in the pan and this month’s Christopher Amueroso Presents Paw Print cover model, has been named by FHM as the sexiest woman in the entire world. Bad choice, and the rest of the list gets no better: Paris Hilton, racist, comes in at 77th, and the doltish Kim Kardashian is number 17. The lad mag’s pick for 100th sexiest is Britney Spears, which is ridiculous and they fucking know it.
Look! Britney Spears‘ regular body is now thin enough that murderous, unfeeling tabloids consider it a “new bikini body,” even though they probably still think she’s crazy. What total bullshit.

Let me preface this by saying that I love Gavin DeGraw with all my heart. He is my all-time favorite artist in the world, and he is one of the few people (see also: Lance Bass) for whom I would torture myself in this inhumane manner.
I got an e-mail a few nights ago alerting me to the fact that Gavin would be taping a TRL appearance Monday at 10 a.m. (Don’t even get me started on the fact that TRL is no longer “live.”) Naturally, I signed up right away and spent the days leading up to the show mentally preparing for the screaming teenagers I would encounter. Unfortunately, no amount of preparation could ready me for the hell that was outside the MTV studios. CONTINUED »
TOO MUCH OF A KINDA GOOD THING “Britney Spears is returning to How I Met Your Mother, a source tells People. ‘The show is ecstatic and so is Britney. … She had so much fun the first time around she really wanted to come back. It was a mutual decision to work together more.’ The singer/actress will do one episode, the source says.”
Sure, Britney Spears seems to be getting her life back on track. But would it kill Jamie to burn that tacky green tank top she’s been sporting every day as of late? We’re convinced she wears that more than those awful cowboy boots.
Also of note: She’s wearing a bra! Hooray!

SAM WHO? “Sam Lutfi says he is on Britney Spears‘ side as he fights against an extension of a restraining order from her family. ‘Sam and the family are communicating and cooperating trying to do whats best for Britney,’ Lutfi’s spokesman said in a statement. … Lutfi agreed to stay away from the singer through July.”
It seems nobody learned anything from Chaotic, the reality show in which Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were allowed to use a video camera and tape themselves.
Britney is threatening to release her video diaries, which chronicle her problems over the past six months.
The “Toxic” star is reportedly planning to release them online — or on MTV.
As well as rants about her mom, dad, sister Jamie Lynn, and friends, the singer, 26, reveals intimate information about her ex, Justin Timberlake, and her rivalry with Christina Aguilera.
Sources are afraid the tapes will be “explosive” … because people are going to believe every word that comes out of a headcase’s mouth? Someone is giving Brit too much credit.

Britney Spears‘ most recent ex-boyfriend, paparazzo-cum-cad Adnan Ghalib, is OK after being stabbed and beaten in Los Angeles Friday night. No word yet about why the incident occurred, but apparently Ghalib has been receiving death threats for quite some time. Had you forgotten that there are many, many people in the word crazier than Britney Spears?
