Spears Booked On Two Hit-And-Run Charges


Britney Spears has been booked for her hit-and-run parking-lot accident in August, after turning herself in to Los Angeles police on Monday night.

The singer was caught on camera scraping Kim Robard-Rifkin's vehicle with her Mercedes-Benz while attempting to park in Van Nuys, California, on Aug. 6.

The troubled star, 25, was booked on two misdemeanor charges of hit-and-run and driving without a valid license.

She was then fingerprinted and photographed before being released an hour later without bail.

Los Angeles Police Department officer Mike Lopez says, "At around 9:25 this evening, Ms. Spears turned herself in to the Van Nuys Jail for booking. This was by court order, which is common for a misdemeanor charge.

"She was fine, cooperative. She did her business and came out."

The LAPD has refused to release the booking photo because it is their policy not to do so.

Spears is due in court to face the charges on Oct. 25.

Michael Gray: Still Hot Or Not?


Michael Gray: Still Hot or Not?

Today, ”Hollywood: Still Hot or Not” gets a spin in the “Way-Back Machine.” See, I’ve been sick with the flu, so cold medicine has a tendency to make me loopy and the other day, while I was laying on the couch watching some obscure 80’s movie and feeling the room spin, I suddenly had a vision of the 1970’s Saturday morning TV show, “Shazam!” and lo-and-behold, Michael Gray popped into my head.

Way too much Benedryl.

Anyway, I did a little research and discovered that unfortunately, Gray hasn’t been doing much in the acting world these days. Here’s what I managed to dig up (which isn’t much, but I’ve been sick, so maybe there’s more?) :

Born in Chicago back in 1951, Gray made his way to Hollywood, where he was cast has the character of Ronnie in the 1972 NBC series “The Little People,” which starred Brian Keith as a pediatrician with a practice on Oahu, Hawaii. Later, the show was re-worked into “The Brian Keith Show,” and Gray was let go.

Two years later, in 1974, Gray was cast in his signature role as that of Billy Batson on the Saturday morning series “Shazam,” and later appeared with Parker Stevenson in the coming-of-age drama,”Our Time.”

Currently, Gray keeps a rather low profile and owns a florist shop with his wife, catering to the Hollywood Elite in the LA area.

I’m going back to bed, but before I do, I have to ask: Does anybody else remember Michael Gray?

Google Co-founder Larry Page To Wed Next Month


Silicon Valley's richest bachelor is getting married next month.

Google Inc. co-founder Larry Page, whose stake in the Internet search leader is worth about $20 billion (euro 13 billion), and Lucy Southworth are getting married in a ceremony scheduled for the weekend of Dec. 8, according to a report published on Tuesday in the San Francisco Chronicle.

Page, 34, is following in the footsteps of Google's other founder, Sergey Brin, who married Anne Wojcicki six months ago in an exclusive ceremony in the Caribbean. The location of Southworth's and Page's wedding was not disclosed.

After Brin's wedding, Google invested $3.9 million (euro2.6 million) in Wojcicki's biotechnology startup, 23andMe Inc.

The invitation list to Page's wedding is expected to include many of Google's current and former employees, as well San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and billionaire Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group.

Former Vice President Al Gore, a senior adviser at Google, told the Chronicle he has been invited to the wedding but will not be able to make it because he will be picking up the Nobel Peace Prize at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway. He said he still hopes to make an appearance through video conferencing.

Southworth was a biomedical informatics doctoral student at Stanford University, where both Page and Brin were studying as graduate students before leaving to start Google in 1998. Page has been dating Southworth for more than a year.
