So if this was the halfway mark on an E! True Hollywood Story, we’d segue from “Britney’s manager accused of drugging her, gets restraining order issued against him” to “Quentin Tarantino offers Spears a role as a lesbian stripper/murderer in a remake of Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” (Boy would I like to be the voiceover guy during that episode!)

Back in January, Variety’s Liz Smith reported that Tarantino was interested in Britney Spears for a role in his Pussycat remake, along with Eva Mendes and Kim Kardashian. (Quick, which one of those three never starred in a moronic reality show?) Now, either the Telegraph is re-running a six-month-old rumor in order to grab some traffic, or Tarantino finally made this particular casting choice official. Says the Telegraph: “Spears’ character murders the boyfriend with her bare hands before taking the girlfriend hostage. The troubled singer will also have sex scenes with another girl before the drama ends in a blood-bath.”

Well, that’s one way to get your career back on track.

No word on the other two girls, or whether Mendes and Kardashian are still being considered, but for now we’ll assume a club remix of “Baby Hit Me One More Time” will be featured on the soundtrack.

LMAO! Have you seen THIS new commerical for the McCain campaign?

It’s pretty funny how a politician decided to compare his opponent to two extremely idiotic celebrities.  Like I’ve said before, politics and hollywood do NOT mix.  That’s like beer and chocolate milk, DISGUSTING (trust me I would know).

But I do wonder…who would Obama compare John McCain to? My guess is Maddona’s vajay jay- I can hear the commerical now..: He’s the crustiest candidate there is…but is he ready to lead?

Holy snickerdoodles I can’t wait to see Obama’s rebuttal.

Britney Spears won’t extend the restraining order against former friend Sam Lutfi.The singer’s attorney Samuel D. Ingham III confirmed the Britney and her co-conservator, her father Jamie, had decided not to apply for the order to continue.

He said: “Britney has made clear to everyone that she does not want to be further harassed or contacted in any way by Osama ‘Sam’ Lutfi, now or at anytime in the future.”

Lutfi also released a statement promising he would stay away from the troubled 26-year-old beauty.

The statement read: “Mr. Lutfi and Mr. Spears have mutually agreed in private that no hearing or order is necessary at this time.”

The restraining order – which prevented Lutfi from getting any closer than 250 yards from the “Toxic” star - had been in place since February, when Jamie claimed Sam “drugged Britney, cut Britney’s home phone line, removed her cell phone chargers and yelled at her.”

As co-conservator of Britney’s estate, Jamie has control over everybody Britney associates with, making the original order against Lutfi redundant.

Ingham added: “During the temporary conservatorship, the conservators have the power to ensure that Lutfi will not harm Britney anymore.”

“If Mr. Lutfi makes any future attempt to contact Britney after the temporary conservatorship has concluded, Britney has made clear she will take all appropriate legal action.”

It comes as no surprise that Apple’s iTunes retains its top spot as the music retailer of choice in the US, at least for the first half of this year. Positions are determined via CD purchases and a-la-carte digital music downloads, and Wal-Mart trails iTunes, followed by Best Buy, Amazon and Target as the third, fourth and fifth positions, respectively. This survey is done by the NPD Group, and it clearly shows the ongoing consumer shift from physical CDs to digital music. Anyone wants to bet whether iTunes will stay as top dog by the end of this year? [Press Release]

Laptops aren’t well known for their superior battery life, which is why it is always better to get a higher capacity battery if you’re a frequent traveler, although that might add to the weight. Also, it isn’t everywhere that you will be able to find a power outlet whenever you run out of juice, making this solar laptop charger an essential item to pack on your travels. Of course, it doesn’t just keep your laptop batteries all juiced up as it can be used to charge other compatible devices as long as the correct adapter is used. It will cost $150 each, and the size might be considered to be too large for some people, so it is a matter of sacrificing portability for power.

Less than three months ago, Eugene told us George Lucas was hinting that his Indiana Jones franchise might continue on with Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) as the main character and that Indy (Harrison Ford) would be more of a secondary figure. But MTV Movies Blog now reports that Lucas has had a change of mind and instead plans to make a fifth installment with our beloved hero still in the lead. During promotions for the new Star Wars: Clone Wars movie, he apparently stated that, “Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. If it was Mutt Williams it would be ‘Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis’ or something.”

Could it be, as MTV suggests, that due to fans’ dissatisfaction with Mutt and/or due to LaBeouf’s problems with the law that Lucas no longer sees the character as a viable investment? Or did he merely come to his senses about how much more money the movie would make with Ford starring? Lucas says that “Indy 5″ is still only an idea but that people are researching possible artifacts to base the movie around. Personally, I don’t care what kind of MacGuffin is used, so long as the Nazis are the villains again. The commies in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull just didn’t do it for me. I know the temporal setting can’t be WWII anymore, but Indy could always head back into South America and battle the Nazis who escaped to Argentina and Brazil and elsewhere.

So, July ended without the launch of Life with PlayStation as promised during the E3 keynote. The delay is due to “a few procedural matters” causing the launch to push into “August.” That means either today or more likely, nearer the 31st, PS3 users will get their hands on Sony’s new globe interface for accessing real-time content such as news and weather from around the world. Hoozah?

Nokia’s doing far better than rivals like Sony Ericsson and Motorola, but it’s not going to let up while it’s ahead — the cellphone maker is reportedly cutting prices across the board in order to increase pressure on the competition. The biggest cuts are on the 5310/ 5610 music phones and the 8GB N81, but most other handsets have seen price decreases of up to 10 percent as well. The move is something of a surprise, with one analyst calling it a “Crazy Ivan,” which is probably the first time The Hunt For Red October has ever been employed to describe the actions of a multinational corporation. So, Espoo — does this mean the Tube is going to be crazy cheap, or what?

We know many of you were upset when you played Madden 08 on the PS3. It certainly had its issues, but don’t let that put you off Madden 09. The Orlando Sentinel’s Matthew Simantov spoke to the Senior Producer of the game, Phil Frazier, who told him that Madden NFL 09 will be identical on the PS3 and the 360. Not only that, but the QA team actually prefer playing on the PS3 version. The game comes out in under a week, but the demo is already on the PSN Store. From the sound of things, EA has learned from their previous mistakes. Is this enough to win back those of you who swore yourselves off the franchise after Madden 08? Check out the first part of the video for more inside talk about the game.

The first official Eye of Judgment tournament will begin in just over a week. The competition, which is global, will last from August 14th to the 21st. During this time you can participate in as many matches as you want in order to get higher on the leaderboard. In order to participate, simply log in to play the game as normal and select “Online Tournament” from the Online Mode select screen. You’ll be potentially playing against people from all over the world.

The prizes are pretting intriguing. The overall winner will receive a custom digital card for their deck builder, which will include their name, face and a comment.

They, and nine runners up, will receive unique in-game titles “for eternal glory!” If you want to participate, there are no specific rules regarding deck building. Just jump in with your favorite and see how far you get. For more information, check out the PlayStation Blog.
