| Britney Spears Conservatorship to End - Transworld News Posted: 04 Oct 2010 11:43 AM PDT Britney Spears' conservatorship will reportedly end within the next three months. A source close to Spears tells RadarOnline.com that the troubled pop star has made "tremendous progress" in working through her problems. "Britney has made tremendous progress in the past three to four months. She seems to be firmly in control again," the source says. Spears and her lawyer met with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz last Thursday. "Judge Goetz needed to meet with Britney and talk to her face-to-face, to see how she was doing," adds the insider. "It's one thing to read medical reports about her, but the in-person meeting was very important." Spears' father Jamie was granted a conservatorship over her in February 2008 after she was hospitalized in the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. Spears next hearing is set for October 14. ### Click here for more Entertainment News About WooEB WooEB Community is a business, music and social networking community.

| Posted: 30 Sep 2010 06:00 PM PDT COMPILED BY MONICA CARDENAS Cooper to also do daytime talk show Anderson Cooper will launch a daytime talk show next fall while keeping his prime-time newscast on CNN. Telepictures Productions said Thursday that it has signed Cooper for a talk show that will cover social trends, entertainment and human interest topics. With Oprah Winfrey ending her syndicated talk show, companies in that market have been looking for new daytime personalities who will connect with an audience. Meanwhile, CNN said Cooper has signed a multiyear contract extension for "Anderson Cooper 360." Cooper called the daytime deal "an exciting opportunity to show another side of myself." No change for Spears Britney Spears has met with a judge overseeing her conservatorship, but no changes are being made. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz also met Thursday with the singer's father, Jamie, who retains control with attorneys over his daughter's personal and financial affairs. Wearing a black dress and black boots, Spears was ushered into the judge's chambers by deputies. Goetz later said in open court, "We had a very nice conversation." She then said no changes were being made to the 28-year-old singer's conservatorship, which was established in February 2008 after Spears was involved in several high-profile incidents of erratic behavior. Comic duo a hip-hop hit Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake are the hottest duo in hip-hop — for the moment. They performed a medley of rap hits on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" Wednesday night, and the clip is becoming a viral hit. Fallon and Timberlake started off with Sugarhill Gang's classic "Rapper's Delight" and went on to perform jams from the Beastie Boys, the Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Eminem. The 36-year-old Fallon says he's surprised by the skit's success. Fallon says he took time to get it right before taking the stage. Fallon says that "you know I really needed to practice" because "you know I can't rap." He says that he was rehearsing in his apartment "till 2 in the morning" and that his wife called him crazy. The NBC show's house band, the Roots, backed them up. Today's Birthdays World War II veteran John Waldrip of Bertram is 87. Former President Jimmy Carter is 86. World War II, Korean War and Vietnam veteran Eugene Langenfeld of Austin is 84. World War II veteran Ted Randall of Rockdale is 84. World War II veteran Bennie F. Balusek of Round Rock is 83.

| 'Glee' Doesn't Know What To Do With Britney Spears Any More Than You Do - NPR News Posted: 29 Sep 2010 08:50 AM PDT  Adam Rose/Fox In a dream, Brittany (Heather Morris) dreamed of performing as Britney Spears. The first ten minutes or so of last night's Glee — that would be the one with Britney Spears, both in person and in music — had good reason to exist. Namely: Heather Morris. Morris is the gem who plays Glee's own ditzy Brittany, who came out of nowhere to lay down deadpan lines ("Did you know dolphins are just gay sharks?") with such seemingly unknowing panache that she quickly became a fan favorite. (I've heard creator Ryan Murphy tell the story a couple of times about her suggesting she wanted acting lessons, which he nixed on the basis that her untrained blankness is perfectly hilarious.) Morris didn't come on Glee to be hilarious, really — she came on as a dancer. Specifically, she'd been on tour in the past with Beyonce, as one of the "Single Ladies" backup dancers. (On tour, not in the video.) Until last night, she hasn't had a proper showcase, because in dance sequences, she's generally either relegated to a backup role while someone else performs, or she's performing with the rest of the club, none of whom are great dancers capable of doing what she can do. Early on, last night's episode gave a long showcase to her dancing, which was great fun. But unfortunately, after that, as the various members of the cast used dental anesthesia to give themselves Spears-based hallucinations, the Britney numbers served little purpose. Who needed Lea Michele as Rachel, doing a near shot-for-shot remake of "Baby One More Time"? It wasn't that it was terrible, but ... why? Previous themed episodes haven't given up quite so completely on any presentation of a story of any kind — the Lady Gaga episode, remember, was the same one where Kurt's dad got in a rumble with Finn over Finn's treatment of Kurt. Moreover, both the Gaga episode and the Madonna episode found reasons for the characters to take an interest in the musicians as icons. Lady Gaga is culturally interesting. So is Madonna. You can credibly have Kurt talk about how significant they are without damaging his character. But why would Kurt care about Britney Spears? Having all the Glee kids suddenly decide they were wildly excited about performing "Toxic" (that would be "Toxic" from 2004, when Kurt was about ten) just didn't make as much sense, so the stunt nature of the episode was extra-pronounced. Britney herself? Eh. She showed up in a Cheerios uniform, and it was cute and all, but she didn't really do anything. At least the Madonna episode didn't waste an actual appearance by Madonna. I don't hold it against Glee that they experiment with this stuff. But this experiment left me entirely cold — even Heather Morris reading twenty Brittany lines instead of, say, the three best ones she might drop in a regular episode didn't satisfy, particularly. It was great to see her dance. It was great to see her get a shot at the spotlight. It just would have been better if her showcase had been part of a real show.
