Britney Spears' new single 'leaked', Eva Longoria 'fat, not pregnant'

1:55PM Wednesday September 17, 2008

Comeback queen Britney Spears' rumoured first single to be lifted from her upcoming album has leaked online.

Days after it was announced that the singer's sixth studio album, Circus, was to be rush-released in December, a website now claims to have its mitts on the first single.

Website BritneySpearsCircusLeak.com says the single Candy From Strangers will be released first; which contradicts earlier reports that her first official single would be Womanizer, which had a Monday, Sept. 22 release date.

Danger, danger, candy from a stranger...

The cynic in me brands this 'leaked' track a bonafide joke. Although the vocals are reminiscent of Spears' helium-fuelled drawl, it all smacks of amateur fakery. But then again it could be an official 'leak' of a song that's so painfully crap, her people opted to release it on the 'Q.T.'

What do you guys think? Is this track really from Spears' new album?

Fakeout makeout
What do you do when the economy's on its knees and in dire need of a handout? Make out on live TV, obviously!

Shrunken assets
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says he had a rather embarrassing problem when he appeared on stage in the nude.

His penis shrank "to the size of a hamster".

Radcliffe flashed his flesh as a kinky stable boy with a penchant for horses in the stage production of Equus last year, and says his nerves often got the better of him...and his poor John Thomas.

Of his bashful wand, he says: "You tighten up like a hamster. The first time it happened, I turned around and went, 'You know, there's a thousand people here and I don't think even one of them would expect you to look your best in this situation.'"

But the heartthrob says he actually felt comfortable being starkers in front of an audience.

"It never really was an issue. I don't know why, it probably should have been. I am terribly self-conscious. Although I remember I did look at my dad once and say, 'Do you think I could wear pants?'," he adds.

White heat
The White Stripes frontman Jack White is not impressed with super-brand Coca Cola.

The singer's soon-to-be-released duet with Alicia Keys, a song called Another Way To Die which will be the theme tune to new James Bond flick Quantum Of Solace, appears as a soundtrack in a TV ad for the soft drink.

The problem? White wasn't told about the endorsement.

Regarding the promotional tie-in, White's mouthpiece says: "Jack White was commissioned by Sony Pictures to write a theme song for the James Bond film Quantum Of Solace, not for Coca Cola. Any other use of the song is based on decisions made by others, not by Jack White.

"We are disappointed that you first heard the song in a co-promotion for Coke Zero, rather than in its entirety."

No rap for grumpy pants
Notoriously antsy Kanye West is unlikely to face felony charges for his recent paparazzi clash at Los Angeles International Airport.

Word has it that despite his bad boy behavior, West's punishment will more than likely not exceed a polite slap on the wrist.

A source tells nydailynews.com: "The thing Kanye had was a detachable flash. It's not of felony value. It wasn't worth $400."

West was arrested by cops after the airport altercation, and faced allegations that he smashed a paparazzo's camera on the floor. The singer has so far declined to comment.

Love me don't
Ageing singer Sir Paul McCartney has apparently been threatened by suicide bombers who are furious that he's planning on performing his first ever concert in Israel.

British newspaper the Daily Express says that a "Self-styled preacher of hate Omar Bakri claimed the former Beatle's decision to take part in the Jewish state's 60th anniversary celebrations had made him an enemy of all Muslims."

Ooh, them there's fighting words.

Macca's said to be suitably unimpressed and unruffled by the death threats. The show must go on, boyo.

We're not that surprised at Macca's defiance, over here on cynical island. Remember, this is the man who married Mucca and lived to tell the tale...

Just wrong
Celebuspawn Rumer Willis used to have the hots for her now step-father Ashton Kutcher.

Eugh, and eugh.

The wannabe actress says her bedroom wall used to be plastered with pictures of Kutcher - until her mother Demi Moore started dating the serial prankster.

She tells British mag Cosmopolitan, "It was strange when mom, who is 15 years older than Ashton, started seeing him (in 2003). I was 15 and he was a heart-throb to me - I had pictures of him on my wall! I remember mom saying her new 'friend' was going to hang out with us. I said, 'What's his name?' and she said, 'its Ashton'. And I said, 'Whoa - Ashton Kutcher?' I freaked out a bit and blushed."

But Willis, 20, says she stopped lusting after Kutcher when she spotted how badly he'd fallen for mother Moore.

She adds, "I realised I'd never seen my mom happier. It was like watching two sixteen-year-olds going to the prom."

TMI, honey. Way, way TMI.

Chest wonderful
Black armbands at the ready, folks. Today is dark day...

Serial stripper Mario Lopez says his days of wanton chest flaunting are over. OVAH.

He tells People mag: "My shirtless photo-shoot days are behind me."

So no more shameless stripping of this variety

Spoilsport.

Funny how his "covering-up" declaration follows news that he's signed up to become a 'serious' presenter for US celebrity news show Extra.

Ring-a-ding-ding?
Completely unreliable trash purveyor Star magazine says that cancer survivor Christina Applegate is engaged to her bass player boyf Martyn Lenoble.

Dutch boy Lenoble has reportedly been a tower of strength for Applegate as she battled cancer and underwent a double mastectomy in a bid to rid herself of the disease.

Applegate has since declared that she is "One hundred per cent cancer-free."

Star claims that Lenoble recently proposed to Applegate, and that she has slowly warmed to the idea.

A snitch tells the mag: "He's [Lenoble] been asking her to marry him for months but was rejected - until now.

"Christina was incredibly touched by how he stepped up and took care of her."

"He opened up a bottle of [champagne], brought along a catered meal, put on some Sinatra and went for it.

The snitch adds: "Christina was overcome by his gesture, even though she wasn't ready to say yes."

If the fat fits
Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman has put paid to escalating rumours that her co-star Eva Longoria is with child - insisting she's "just fat".

Longoria has been dogged by pregnancy rumours for months, and has issued umpteen denials that she's carrying hubby Tony Parker's baby.

"She's just fat, that's all there is to it!" a candid Huffman tells People.com.

Longoria has admitted that she's feeling the need to breed, but that her fuller figure is all down to her alter-ego's on-screen weight gain on the hit TV show.

The actress has not only piled on the pounds for the show's new season, she'll also don a fat suit to portray her character as an overworked housewife, set five years ahead of when viewers last saw the ladies of Wysteria Lane.

Hoffman adds: "She looks cute. But she's always like, 'Feel my a-! Feel my a-!' All the jokes [on set] are Eva and her fat suit."

Quote of the day
"I think when Hollywood is done with me, I will probably be done with it. I'm not interested in playing those stock characters any more and I don't feel sad that I don't get those kind of offers."

- A jobless Meg Ryan wonders why her phone's stopped ringing.

Weekly Wino
God, I've missed Amy Winehouse.

While I've been sunning myself in Welsh Wales, the Camden cracka$ has been keeping a low profile and limiting her random bouts of craziness to single digits.

Or so I thought...

My snitches tell me that Wino recently boycotted her surprise 25th birthday bash - because she took one look in the mirror and saw just how fugly she's become.

I'm not joking.

The Daily Mail reports that Wino gave her birthday bash at London's hot jazz venue, Jazz After Dark, a wide birth after she copped an eyeful of her skanky reflection in the mirror.

A snitch says: "Amy was standing in front of the mirror telling everyone how rough she looked. Unfortunately her lifestyle has had a major effect on her appearance and it has only just started to sink in. She kept saying she was ugly and was in an awful state. They couldn't get her out."

Then there's this hilarious tidbit about Wino and her incarcerated jailbird hubby Blaaaaaake Fielder-Civil.

British tab The Sun reports that Wino recently posted a snap of Blaaaaake exposing his manhood on her Facebook profile.

Amusingly, the tabloid teases us with the immortal words:

"Anyone wondering what Amy Winehouse could possibly still see in convicted criminal and druggie hubby Blake Fielder-Civil should take a look at the uncensored version of this  picture."

Mercifully, there's nary a sign of the uncensored pic. I mean, c'mon, there are some things we just don't need to be exposed to.

Everyone's talking about....
Saucepot Dita Von Teese's new wonderbra ad...

Fierce.

Blogger's brief
I'm back, babies! The homelands stint is over.

I promise I won't treat you like latchkey kids again.

Stand by for the usual round of shameless scandal-mongering, celebrity sideswiping,  and loose-lipped quipping. All in the best possible taste, obviously.

What can I say, you can't keep a good one down for long...

I don't think that's going to be on Britney's new album.

They did the same thing last year when they leaked that song "Rebellion" before the release of Blackout and Rebellion was not on the new album.
