Celebs And Their Cars
What Hollywood A-listers are driving

They say that the eyes are the windows of the soul. If that's true, what about our cars? What statements are we making with our vehicles? Psychologist Dr. Charles Kenny, who's interpreted consumer buying behavior for GM, Toyota and Nissan, recently offered his analysis of several celebrities based on the cars they drive.

The Speeding Tickets
Britney Spears' Silver Porsche convertible: "This car says that she's a carefree spirit and that she's more complex than people give her credit for. Carefree on one hand and focused on precision engineering on the other."

Drew Barrymore's BMW M3 convertible: "This says, 'I'm a free spirit who wants to be in control all the time.'"

Ben Affleck's Aston Martin DB7: "It says that he's playing like James Bond in his off hours."

The Gas Guzzlers
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hummer: "This is the essence of pure power. It's a super vehicle, the most powerful one on the road, for a Superman type of thinker."

Brad Pitt's 2002 Mercedes-Benz G500: "This car is the ultimate unique combination of power and luxury in one package. He's expressing the ultimate in masculinity and his social status at the same time."

In the guzzler category, Dr. Kenny failed to mention Justin Timberlake's latest addition, a new $115,000 V-12 493-horsepower Mercedes S600. But Justin seems to have no problems summing up his new wheels. He recently told Rolling Stone, "It's pimp, so pimp!"

The Environmentalists
Cameron Diaz's 2002 Toyota Prius: "Somebody driving this wants to make a strong statement about her character. It's a unique type of vehicle. It says she's a friend of the earth type of person."

Meryl Streep also drives the same car -- and she's quite proud of it. "I drive a Toyota Prius and I can't figure out why everyone else doesn't," she announced during a recent interview. The hybrid vehicle runs on a combination of electricity and gasoline and gets a whopping 51 miles to the gallon. "I used to drive an Audi, which costs $60,000. This costs $18,000. It has a great sound system, seats five, and still people drive around in these big, stupid SUVs that are much more dangerous ... You people pay so much more in gas than I do," the actress exclaimed in frustration. "You spend so much more money than I do ... and I make more money!"

Britney Dumps Durst for Farrell
Looks like a lot of Britney relationship news this week, some more about Fred Durst. IMDB.com reported that Britney Spears didn't just split up with Limp Bizkit rocker Fred Durst - she dumped him. Spears, 21, had been dating Durst for a few weeks but according to magazine Us Weekly, the pop princess decided to call an end to the affair. A source says of Durst, "He got dumped, and he's pretty upset about it." When Durst and Spears were spotted at Hollywood hotspot the Ivar on January 22, they were already showing signs of a troubled relationship. An eyewitness says, "They stayed separate for most of the night until he went up to the VIP area and danced with her for a couple of songs. She then left, and he went back to the regular part of the club." Britney already appears to have found a replacement for Durst though - she was spotted on the arm of Irish actor Colin Farrell at the Hollywood premiere of his new movie The Recruit yesterday. Durst also has his sights set on another woman - he has since posted an item on his website talking about his dreams of Angelina Jolie.

Britney Becomes A Bad Girl
She seemed to be growing up beautifully.

But at 21, Britney Spears has decided it is time she expressed her true personality.

And unfortunately, it is nothing like the girl she used to be.

The new grown-up Britney seems to think maturity means a taste for boozy nights out and sordid flings with renowned philanderers.

As record company executives grow increasingly nervous about damage to her clean-living image, Britney seems determined to show that she is no longer a little girl's dream best friend.

On Tuesday, she was seen smoking and wearing a top with '**** You' emblazoned on the back.

She later made a spectacle of herself with her latest boyfriend, Irish actor Colin Farrell, 26, at the premiere of his movie The Recruit in Los Angeles.

She then joined him at a private party at the Chateau Marmont hotel in his suite with 50 others.

'They kept on disappearing out onto the balcony,' said one partygoer.

'Then they went into one of the adjoining bedrooms where they stayed for at least an hour.

'Britney left the party at 5am but Colin carried on partying. He obviously wasn't satisfied enough with Britney and was all over one of the waitresses.' Insiders believe Farrell won't be around long enough to be a fixture.

He recently boasted: 'I'm into casual sex - I come into town and **** whoever I can.'

'Farrell has a different woman every week,' said one New York gossip writer.

'He was last with Demi Moore and has had heaps of girls since finding himself hot property. This won't last at all - and Britney is a silly girl if she thinks it will.'

Farrell is the third man Britney has been linked to in as many weeks.

Rock group Limp Bizkit's controversial frontman Fred Durst admitted a romance with the singer, while she also had a brief reconciliation with her long-term boyfriend Justin Timberlake two weeks ago.

Record company executives are beginning to fear that the pop princess who made herself a multi-million pound fortune is going off the rails.

'We don't mind her behaving like a normal 21-yearold but things have been getting a bit out of hand,' said one record executive.

'Behaviour like this is terrible for image and will put off all her young fans.

'Neither Fred Durst nor Colin Farrell are the right men for her to be seen with but she is not listening to anyone around her.

'She feels she has been mollycoddled all her life and she is only now beginning to realise what is out there.

'She had a pretty horrible time of it last year, splitting up from Justin and then having to watch her parents separate, but now she is trying to put all that behind her. 'Britney is rich, she is gorgeous and she feels like she should enjoy all that while she can. It's not great for us who want her to continue to be the world's biggest female artist though.'

Britney's mother Lynne is also known to be concerned about her daughter's sudden penchant for parties. Her name has been growing more tarnished over the past months.

First her record sales slumped and she took time off work suffering from 'exhaustion'.

She was spotted coming out of parties drunk and was seen with a cigarette in her hand.

Then Timberlake hinted he had broken off their engagement because she had been unfaithful.

She was dropped from an £80million deal with Pepsi while her debut movie was a box office disappointment.

The Recruit Premiere: Colin Farrell's New "Mate"
On Jan. 28, jaws dropped in Hollywood as Colin Farrell showed up at his premiere for The Recruit with his arm around Britney Spears. Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson was with Colin and his new "mate."

From the moment Colin stepped foot out of his limo the crowd went crazy, but to see Britney Spears in tow set off a flashbulb frenzy. And with that the foul-mouthed actor grabbed his "date" around the neck and posed for the hungry photographers.

When asked if he thought his arrival would cause such a frenzy, Colin told Shaun: "Ah yeah, you drive from f*****g blocks away and you see all the madness."

Caught in a crush, surrounded by bodyguards, Britney fielded questions about her new "friend" from the inquisitive press. Earlier in the day Britney flew solo, but still with her admiring press, at a West Hollywood nail salon, presumably getting ready for her big night out.

So are Colin and Britney a couple? "No, no, we're just mates. I know what the question is going to be tonight. I swear to God, would I lie to you?" said Colin as he kissed Shaun on the cheek.

But the Irish-born lad, in his own sweet way, stuck to his story. When asked how he "recruited" Britney to be his date for the evening, Colin said: "I didn’t get anyone to do anything. I'm with 25 f*****g people. We're all having a party."

And it was a party indeed to celebrate the premiere of The Recruit. Colin's co-star Al Pacino caused a bit of a frenzy himself as he stopped to sign autographs. But what does the big guy think of Hollywood's new "couple"?

"I don't know about you but I'm shaking," Pacino told Access.

Jon Voight took a stroll down the red carpet to support his friend Pacino just as a story broke in the London tabloids saying Jon and his daughter Angelina Jolie have reconciled -- which unfortunately is not true. When asked if he talked to his daughter recently, Jon told Shaun: "No, I haven't. I'm still working on it."

The Recruit hits theaters nationwide on Jan. 31.

Britney Spears And Fred Durst Shack Up ... In The Studio, At Least
When Britney Spears drops her new album this fall, don't be surprised to find a little reminder of her relationship with Fred Durst.

The Limp Bizkit frontman is among the producers working on Spears' as-yet-untitled new album, due in October, according to a Jive Records spokesperson. Durst has produced one unnamed track thus far, but it — as well as everything else that has been done for the follow-up to 2001's Britney — is not guaranteed to wind up on Spears' fourth LP.

Durst found time to helm the Spears tune while working on Limp Bizkit's new album, tentatively titled Less Is More, due in April. According to the band's Web site, www.limpbizkit.com, they've just about completed the new LP, their fourth, which is expected to include songs called "Build a Bridge" and "Crack Pipe," the latter having already been tapped as the first single. Durst wrote in a post that 18 songs were completed, but only 10 or 12 will make the album's final cut.

Those familiar with Durst's posts on the Bizkit site know that he had been fawning over Spears earlier this month, claiming, among other things, that "he had never felt this way [about anyone] before". Strangely, those posts have been removed from the "News" section of the site.
