IT'S ALL THOSE MEDS, Y'ALL • "Britney Spears' new album should have been called 'Catatonic.' Spies say the pop tart looked vacant at her 27th-birthday party/Circus album release bash at Tenjune. In fact, her empty, wide-eyed stare as she was pushed and prodded throughout the club prompted more than a few revelers to whisper, 'She's so out of it!'"
Despite the fact that she believes her life is boring and monotonous, Britney Spears had an action-filled day to celebrate turning 27 years old. She kicked things off with a circus and lackluster performance on Good Morning America and then taped her portion of the Rockefeller tree lighting ceremony (spoiler alert!) before celebrating her birthday at Tenjune. At no point in the day did anyone point out that this over-the-top celebration is probably more well-suited for a five-year-old.

To be perfectly honest, a few months ago we weren't sure Britney Spears would even live to see her 27th birthday, so today is a small miracle in the life of MTV's favorite train wreck. And, as we've been told 100 times in the past hour, she also has an album out today, appropriately titled Circus. So far the excitement hasn't gotten to Brit, who held it together long enough to perform a couple songs on Good Morning America and accept birthday wishes from other Hollywood stars. Sure, her dancing was lackluster compared to the Britney of yore, but, like we've said before, we have severely low expectations when it comes to the head shaving fanatic. The mother of two is nearing 30 years old and still celebrates her birthday like she's turning five — clearly she's not in the most stable state of mind.

Inexplicable ladies' man David Spade strikes again:
Nicollette Sheridan and David Spade were spotted smooching Friday night at Beverly Hills restaurant Luau. There to celebrate Sheridan's 45th birthday, the pair — who arrived separately and began dinner at separate booths — 'couldn't resist each other for long,' a source tells Usmagazine.com.
According to the source, Spade winked at Sheridan and was by her side as she blew out the candles on her birthday cake. Later, the pair reportedly holed up in a booth where they 'cuddled and kissed.'
Nicollette's people say she is not dating David. Although we wouldn't expect her to admit to it anyway.

There's no amount of money in the world that would make us sit through the American Music Awards (OK, that's not entirely accurate), so instead of a write-up of the snooze-fest, here's an exhaustive collection of photos. From the looks of things, Miley Cyrus once again made the entire event all about her (and her 16th birthday, which she's been celebrating for the past few months). Surprise, surprise.

Have any of you been watching the CW's Stylista? As you may recall, we think the fashion magazine reality competition is pretty awesome, from the unnecessary cat fights to Elle news director Anne Slowey's sad inability to walk in heels.
Last night was even more glorious than we had hoped, thanks to Slowey's niece, Erin, who was described as "one of the most fashion-forward and demanding women you will ever work for." Erin turned 10 years old during the episode and instructed the contestants to plan her birthday party. Here were her demands: "I want my party to be fabulous. I want it at FAO Schwarz. So do not embarrass me." Yeah, this girl has no issues whatsoever.
Diddy's 39th birthday happened to fall on Election Day, so it seems he saved his grandiose, bottle-popping celebration for last night in New York City. Hey, at least it wasn't on a yacht in St. Tropez!
He looks thrilled to be 39, but he has a lot to be excited about. I mean, he single-handedly secured Barack Obama's victory. You didn't know?
After the jump: What kind of people show up to a Diddy birthday party (Frank Sinatra not included).
Look guys, another Diddy blog! Get Out the Vote, right right, snoooze.
Except, did Sean Combs just say it was his birthday today?? How is that even humanely possible, that one of the greatest/most annoying advocates of democracy in hip-hop has a birthday that just so happens to coincide with election day? It's got to be a joke right?
Nope. It's not a joke. Happy birthday/Election Day, Diddy! Vote or be Born!
After the jump, a special birthday greeting from Diddy's staff of personal blogmakers.
The insufferable Perez Hilton, dressed as Jesus Christ, helped Katy Perry (as the late Freddie Mercury) celebrate her 24th birthday party last night in West Hollywood. This just begs the question: What kind of person invites Perez Hilton to his or her birthday party?

Britney Spears is rapidly getting her life back on track, and the latest stop on the BS Comeback Tour will be Dec. 2 on Good Morning America. This is going to be a big day for Brit, because it's both her 27th birthday and her Circus album release. Here's hoping she doesn't get incredibly overwhelmed by the circus (pun intended) and end up being carted away in an ambulance.
On another note, Brit really needs to work on her cue card reading skills. She used to handle scripts like a pro back in the day; now, she blasts through them like a 9-year-old in a school play. Her dialogue in the GMA promo (at left) is painful and distracting, and that's not even taking into consideration that cheesy scene where she blows out the candles. Larry Rudolph, get back to work.
If anyone is worried about this financial crisis, they needn't be: Rapper Lil Wayne is not struggling for money. You can all breathe a sigh of relief.
The notorious drug addict celebrated his 26th birthday last night in Miami and was presented with his gift from Birdman: A case full of one million dollars. Was he playing Deal or No Deal? Anyway, the photo's caption reads, "Lil Wayne is happy after receiving a million dollars as a birthday present." Gee, you think? And why does this guy need a million dollars anyway? It's not like he's hurting for money after selling tons of albums. When you can freeze money and put it inside an ice sculpture, that's a pretty good indication that you don't need any more.

This thing just never stops being weird, does it? Mariah Carey threw her hubby Nick Cannon a birthday party at Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas. They kissed over a cake. The end.

Miley Cyrus shut down Disneyland Sunday in celebration of her 16th birthday … which is on Nov. 23. Why she wanted to celebrate seven weeks early is beyond us, but the teenager has more money than any of us will see in our lifetimes, so who are we to argue with her logic? The party featured a performance by father Billy Ray Cyrus and four songs from Miley. This sounds awful.
Guests in attendance included Miley's 20-year-old boyfriend Justin Gaston, David Archuleta, Steve Carell, Jennie Garth, Cindy Crawford and Jennifer Love Hewitt. We just lost a bunch of respect for JLH, because the other celebs have children — what was her excuse? Tyra Banks was also reportedly at the shindig but wasn't photographed. Um, what? Is Ty Ty OK? We don't believe this for a second. Why would she show up to a 16-year-old's birthday party if there wasn't a photo op in it for her?

BECKHAM ISN'T EXACTLY KNOWN FOR HIS BRAIN "David Beckham was happy to meet Entourage actor Rex Lee at Jermaine Dupri's birthday bash in Chicago. The only problem? 'It wasn't the real Rex Lee,' laughed a spy, 'and Becks brought him into the VIP area and spent the whole night drinking with him!'"

WE'LL DIE YOUNG "The world's oldest man celebrated his 113th birthday on Thursday, telling reporters at his home in southern Japan about his joyful life and healthy appetite. [Tomoji] Tanabe, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest living male last year, eats mostly vegetables and believes the key to longevity is not drinking alcohol."
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas — even at the expense of children's birthdays, if you're Kevin Federline. The father of the year was in town for the Friday preview party for a new nightclub and had so much fun that he decided to stay for the weekend. One small problem: His sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were celebrating their birthdays back in LA:
Saturday [Kevin] spent the day by the pool, then had dinner at TAO and hit the Lavo grand opening, red carpet and all, where he partied til 4am. It was more of a guys’ weekend, but a very good time was had by all.
According to a K-Fed friend, he loves his children, "but if he's having fun someplace else he'll stick with that."
Hey, remember when Britney was so crazy that everyone wanted Kevin to have sole custody of the kids? And after time went on, we were all like, "Hey, maybe he's not such a bad guy after all"? Those children are screwed.

Wino was supposed to celebrate the big 2-5 at the Jazz After Dark Club in Soho London, according to The Sun, but just like one of her many concerts — Ms. Cracky never came."
