Mel Gibson feels sorry for Britney Spears – because she’s never left alone. The actor – who was arrested for drink driving in July and launched into an anti-Semitic tirade against the Jewish police officer who pulled him over – understands her frustrations at constantly being followed by paparazzi. He said: "I feel compassion for someone like Britney. She never gets a moment. She’s, like, dogged all the time and followed and she’s trying to have a life. "Your heart goes out to her because I’m positive that, at her core, she’s a good woman." Since filing for divorce from husband Kevin Federline last month, Britney, 25, has been spotted out partying on several occasions with new best friend Paris Hilton. She has also been criticised heavily for being photographed not wearing any underwear with her private parts exposed.
Nicole Kidman’s new movie is being re-shot after being badly received by test audiences, it has been claimed. ‘The Invasion’, a sci-fi movie in which Nicole play a psychiatrist investigating a mysterious epidemic, is having many of its scenes re-filmed after being widely panned. An on-set source told Hollywood website The Buzz: "Half the movie is being re-shot after the rough cut didn’t test well." A representative for Warner Bros studios confirmed some scenes are being filmed again but denied it was because the movie has been badly received. The spokesperson said: "They are doing mostly second-unit re-shoots now, and there has been no testing." Critics fear ‘The Invasion’ – which began as a remake of the 1956 film ‘The Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ but is now considered an original script – will be another flop for Oscar winner Nicole, whose recent films ‘Fur’ and ‘Bewitched’ failed to wow audiences. The film, which also stars new James Bond actor Daniel Craig, is due for release in 2007.

Well kids this is IT. Tonight is the finale of breaking Bonaduce. Out of all the things I’ve done on the show, the drugs, the alcohol,and all the craziness I think you’ll find tonight’s episode the most compelling. After the show, or tomorrow if some of you would care to write and tell me what you thought of it, I would appreciate it as something very special happens in this episode. You guys have hung with me all the way through this and I want to tell you this in advance. As a businessman I certainly use my space to promote my television and radio career. If I told you anything different I would be a liar. But the fact is, Gretchen and I have become so attached to you that it is my greatest hope that we remain friends. When I have a show to promote I put it up on the bulletin for all to read. But as hundreds of you can attest when I write you individually I do so as your friend and will continue to do so. With great love and respect. Danny Bonaduce
PS. It looks like I may have a new show anyway and if I do you guys will be the first to know. If you watch the show you have seen Gretchen I fight over some gigantic life altering things. The shows are almost a year old. Now Gretchen and I only fight about who gets to talk to you guys first.
UPDATE: Danny posted this after the above post
Just like a man, I asked Danny to one simple thing. Promote the finale of breaking Bonaduce and then right afterwards our appearance on celebrity paranormal. Just like a man he had half the job. Please watch celebrity paranormal as well as breaking Bonaduce. Thank you. Gretchen.
PS this is me Danny and I actually wrote that for Gretchen. I knew she would yell at me so I just cut out the middleman and yelled at myself and tacked on her name at the end. Love Danny
Don’t forget to watch the season finale of Breaking Bonaduce tonight at 9:30p on VH1. This has a been a touching season all about making love work and this couple has overcome a lot to make that happen! Also don’t forget to watch them at 10p as they hunt for ghosts with Chris Knight and Adrianne Curry on Celebrity Paranormal Project! I thought this was the best episode of the season and it is the season finale. Finally, the two of them are too cute on MySpace!!!
