Britney, J. Lo, Madonna Receive Worst
Actress Nominations
Even the most
jaded celebrity is usually pleased to be up for an award, but Madonna, Britney
Spears and Jennifer Lopez are crossing their fingers that they don't win
honors at the 23rd annual Razzie Awards, which celebrates the absolute worst
in the year's films.
Madonna leads the pack with four nominations: Worst Actress and Worst Screen
Couple (with Adriano Giannini) for "Swept Away," and Worst
Supporting Actress and Worst Original Song for "Die Another Day."
Hubby Guy Ritchie is up for Worst Director and Worst Screenplay for
"Swept Away."
Britney has been nominated for Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple (with
Anson Mount) for "Crossroads," and Lopez picked up two Worst Actress
nominations for "Enough" and "Maid in Manhattan."
Madonna, Spears and Lopez will be competing in the Worst Actress category with
Winona Ryder for "Mr. Deeds" and Angelina Jolie for "Life or
Something Like It."
Nominees for Worst Actor are Roberto Benigni for "Pinocchio,"
Adriano Giannini for "Swept Away," Eddie Murphy for "Adventures
of Pluto Nash" and "I Spy," Steven Seagal for "Half Past
Dead" and Adam Sandler for "Adam Sandler's 8 Crazy Nights" and
"Mr. Deeds."
The 2003 Razzie celebration will take place at the Four Points Sheraton hotel
in Santa Monica, California, on February 22. The ceremony was created in 1980
by John Wilson, the author of "Everything I Know I Learned at the
Movies." Nominees were chosen by 537 Golden Raspberry Award Foundation
members in 38 states and a dozen countries.
Unfortunate Razzie winners will receive a golden raspberry glued to a mangled,
gold-painted reel of Super 8 film. No nominees are expected to attend the
non-televised event.

Grow Up! She's A Normal Gal
Column by Molly Davis - Britney Spears and her much-publicized recent
romances are all the over the news.
But I’ve got some news for you -- Britney is not bad.
She’s acting just like any other 21-year-old girl.
The fact that she’s doing it in front of the cameras is why she’s
developing an undeserved bad rep. Think about it.
If you had the paparazzi following you around, would you look like an angel? I
know I wouldn’t. But the public doesn’t care about my social life, so my
love life is kept under wraps. Thank god. The Daily Mail of London reported
that Britney recently departed Colin Farrell’s room at Hollywood’s Chateau
Marmont at 5 a.m. He says they’re just "mates," but come on. Days
later, they showed up together at L.A. premiere of his film The Recruit. Good
for her. What’s all the fuss about? Do you really thing she should’ve made
a beeline to the nunnery after her breakup with Justin? By my count, she’s
been linked to three men.
Justin Timberlake.
Fred Durst.
Colin Farrell.
One she dated for years, the second is unconfirmed, and the third is true.
That’s not what I’d call questionable behavior. She’s a good girl, at
least by my count. So why is everyone so concerned with her and her dating
habits?
Or, to be more precise, her virginity? Probably because Britney’s been very
vocal about hanging on to her precious commodity. But she hasn’t made that
statement for a couple of years. Besides, she’s entitled to change her mind.
Maybe she was waiting. But then Mr. Right showed up. Nobody will ever know for
sure. And nobody should care.
So Britney hangs out in bars, just like any
other 21-year-old.
She’s gorgeous, talented and rich. She hooks up at the end of the night. Big
deal. I see the same hook-up routine every weekend when the lights come on at
the club -- sometimes earlier. Only difference? It’s not captured for
posterity and splashed all over every newspaper. If it was, a lot of people
would be considered-- and how shall I put this -- less than pure. She
doesn’t have a boyfriend, so she’s entitled to do whatever -- with whoever
-- she wants.
Britney is just sowing her oats.
Men do it. And they’re
considered cool. But when women do it, they’re sluts. Double standard?
Definitely. That’s the way it’s been, and that’s the way it still is. If
you were Britney, you may act the same way. Or worse. I know I would. What?
You’d say no to Colin Farrell?

Durst Attempts To Clear Things Up About
Britney, New Album
Fred Durst further distanced himself from Britney Spears on
Wednesday, denying that he contributed to her upcoming album despite
confirmation from her camp and other evidence that proves otherwise.
"I didn't produce any songs for Britney Spears, she's just got a great
ass," he said.
In mid-January, Durst expressed feelings for the pop princess on the Limp
Bizkit Web site, even noting that he had "never felt this way," but
he later removed the postings.
During a press conference announcing the Summer Sanitarium Tour, Durst also
refuted some other information from his Web postings, including that Limp
Bizkit's next single will be called "Crack Addict".
"I'm going to do something real interesting when it comes to single time,
definitely against the grain," he said. "I don't wanna give it out
and give it away right now. I weigh my decisions more on what my gut and my
instinct tells me to do and what my fans on my Web site tell me every day. I
take their opinions into consideration a lot. The song 'Crack Addict,' it's
definitely a vulgar display of power. It's about me being a crack addict,
about being addicted to cracking skulls when punks start static. Yeah! But
that's not the single."
Durst also contradicted reports from the Neptunes that the production duo
would be contributing to Bizkit's album, and he even sounded unsure about the
title.
"The title is Lessismore for right now, unless I change it the day
before," he said. "I think it's going to come out May 13."
Limp Bizkit are nearly finished with the album, their first without guitarist
Wes Borland, save for a last minute collaboration with a rapper.
"I think right now DMX, Nas and Snoop are three people we keep talking on
the phone to," Durst said. "It just depends on what comes out of the
session once we're in the studio. You can't count your chickens before they
hatch. If it's something amazing and groundbreaking that we all believe in,
we'll consider it on the record. If not, we'll just have a good time kicking
it and being friends."
Korn's Brian "Head" Welch, Helmet's Page Hamilton, Ministry's Al
Jourgensen and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo have recorded for Lessismore so far.
The Summer Sanitarium Tour with Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, the
Deftones and Mudvayne will kick off July 4.

Britney's "Crossroads", Hit
With 8 Razzie Noms
Every year, on the eve of the Oscars
ceremony, the Golden Raspberry - or Razzie - awards are made for the worst
films of the previous year, and 2002 has provided no shortage of candidates.
High on this morning's list is Swept Away, directed by Guy Ritchie and
starring Madonna and Adriano Giannini, who are nominated respectively for
worst director of the worst film, worst actress and worst actor.
Also competing for the worst film Razzie, in the 23rd year of the awards, is
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, which could sum up a year which featured many
dud sequels. The Eddie Murphy film, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, which
received a critical mauling, is also nominated, as are Pinocchio, starring
Roberto Benigni, and the Britney Spears vehicle, Crossroads.
Challenging Madonna for the actress Razzie are Jennifer Lopez for her roles in
Maid in Manhattan and Enough; Britney Spears for her screen debut in
Crossroads; and Wynona Ryder in Mr Deeds in which she co-starred with Adam
Sandler. Angelina Jolie is also nominated for Life or Something Like It.
In the actors' Razzie category, Murphy in Pluto Nash faces competition from
Benigni for Pinocchio, Giannini for Swept Away, Steven Seagal in Half Past
Dead and Sandler for Eight Crazy Nights and Mr Deeds.
The nomination of Benigni raises the intriguing possibility that, if Nicole
Kidman wins for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in The Hours, there would be
victories for two actors with enhanced noses.
The supporting categories have Robin Williams (Death to Smoochy), Hayden
Christensen (Star Wars), Tom Green (Stealing Harvard), Freddie Prinze Jr
(Scooby Doo) and Christopher Walken (The Country Bears) nominated.
The equivalent categories for actresses has Madonna in the Bond film, Die
Another Day, Bo Derek in The Master of Disguise, Lara Flynn Boyle in Men in
Black II, Natalie Portman in Star Wars and Rebecca Ramijn-Stamos in Rollerball.
There is a new Razzies award this year - most flatulent teen-targeted movie -
which is likely to be a fierce fight between Eight Crazy Nights, XXX,
Crossroads, Jackass: The Movie and Scooby Doo.
Nominees may take comfort from the fact that some of them, Benigni, for
instance, have already won Oscars for their work and that some of the films
listed, such as Star Wars and Mr Deeds did good box office business.

Britney
Spears' Life 'Out Of Control,' Fred Durst Says
Limp Bizkit
lead singer Fred Durst said that despite his recent outpourings of affection
for Britney Spears, her life is too "out of control" for him to date
her.
Durst posted several romantic
messages on his band's Web site last month about the pop singer, such as,
"I have never felt this way."
The
32-year-old said that when he met Spears, he thought, "Wow, this is just
a very sweet Southern girl, just simple, you know, Southern girl," he
told "Access Hollywood" for an interview airing Monday.
"But actually, she has a life
like Michael Jackson. It's, like, out of control. ... The people around her,
pulling at her, people around her that are full of (expletive), just agreeing
with her, like, it's kind of crazy, she almost can't see what's real and
what's not."
Spears, 21, has never acknowledged a
relationship with Durst. Her spokeswoman had no immediate comment on his
remarks Friday.
Durst said he feels badly for Spears,
who dated 'N Sync singer Justin Timberlake for several years and recently has
been linked to actor Colin Farrell.
"We're not enemies, man, I just
don't want to talk to her," Durst said. "I just chose not to talk to
her anymore."

Access Exclusive:
Justin Timberlake's Birthday Bash
Many people were turned away at the
door from Justin Timberlake's birthday party, but Access Hollywood was
invited exclusively to cover the party of all parties. Our own Pat O'Brien was
in the middle of all the action. The party’s theme was "white
trash" and the guest list included Britney Spears, among others.
Upon his arrival, Justin joked with Pat: "This is the beginning of the
end for me, that right?" But Pat assured Justin to trust him that 22
definitely was not the beginning of the end.
In fact it was the beginning of what appeared to be a romantically complicated
night. Justin's ex-girlfriends, Britney Spears and Alyssa Milano, both
showed up to party. Add Christina Aguilera to the mix, and it's one
"dirrty" night.
Alyssa turned up first, with Charmed co-star Holly Marie Combs.
Then a beaming Britney made a grand entrance with not one but two beefy
bodyguards.
The party at Dublin's Irish Pub in West Hollywood had – at Justin's
insistance – what was dubbed a "white trash" theme. There were
tabloid tablecloths to read, Slim Jims and beef jerky to eat and a birthday
cake adorned with Twinkies. XBoxes were strewn around the bar for all to play,
and Justin even got an arcade-sized unit as a gift.
Also showing their love for Justin were his fellow *NSYNCer JC Chasez, Jessica
Simpson and Nick Lachey. When asked what her wish for Justin was,
Jessica told Pat: "That he would find true love."
