Britney Spears was performing at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC on March 24, when she blurted out something weird again into her live microphone.

Britney says about the 0:50 mark, "Merry Christmas!"

What?

The about the 0:56 mark Britney says, "I dunno," since one of her dancers apparently asked why she said that.

The about the 1:01 mark, Britney says, "That was weird."

WOW, Britney is still not quite right in the head. Thank goodness for Jamie Spears, and the conservatorship. It may have cost Britney over $2 million so far for an army of lawyers, and other people, to help get and keep Britney on track, but it’s apparently worth every penny.

Valerie Bertinelli posed in a two piece bikini to show off her body after losing 50 lbs!!! Valerie will celebrate her 49th birthday on April 23, and she says being able to confidently wear a two piece bikini again after nearly 30 years, is a gift to herself. She said:

"I thought, If I’m so afraid of a bikini, there’s something wrong. And so I had to get back into one!"

After about a year of exercising on her own while losing weight, primarily by walking 10,000 steps a day, she hired a personal trainer in December. Before long she was running up to five times a week. During what she calls the bikini "homestretch" the last three weeks, she trimmed her daily caloric intake from 1,700 to around 1,200, and gave up her regular "splurge" glass of champagne. "It was crunch time," she says, "like getting ready for your class reunion!"

The result? Bertinell says she is now in the best shape of her life:

"I never, ever, ever had deltoids! Oh my God, when I’m doing exercises and I see them pop out, I’m like, Yes!"

Congratulations Valerie you look fantastic.

Valerie is the spokeswoman for Jenny Craig, but it was mostly Valerie that did the hardest work.

Here’s a tip for those who want to lose weight. Do aerobic exercise at least 30 to 60 minutes a day, preferably on a treadmill. Cut your meals in half, and avoid sugar entirely, especially pop or juice. Eat vegetables at lunch and dinner, and fruit, but limit the fruit to one or two a day. Drink a full glass of soy milk with each meal, and between meals if you feel hungry. Soy milk usually has unprocessed sugar that has much less impact on your body.

Soy milk also has high quality protein that will make you feel full longer, plus it doesn’t contain a bunch of other questionable ingredients that other much more expensive protein shakes have, and soy milk is cheaper. Protein shakes to lose weight usually use soy as their main source of protein. The best place to get large amounts of Kirkland brand soy milk is Costco. The vanilla tastes the best, and it goes great in coffee. However, coffee intake should be limited, since caffeine causes the body to release cortisol, a stress hormone, that can cause the body to gain weight. A lack of sleep also causes cortisol to be released. Cortisol increases blood pressure and blood sugar, and reduces immune responses.

The biggest obstacle to losing weight is hunger. Drinking soy milk with smaller meals, and drinking more soy milk when hunger strikes between meals, and after aerobic exercise, helps make losing weight a little easier. Soy milk also contains Genistein, which helps build bone density.

Pharrell stopped at a McDonalds in Paris, France about 6 a.m., on his way home from Malaysia, but they weren’t opened yet, so he did a little song and dance for them.

Instead of getting Pharrell something to eat, the staff all ran behind the steel door, thinking Pharrell was some crazy guy from off the street. This happened on March 24.

Nadya Suleman admits to the National Enquirer she has "exotic dancing" experience. Nadya said:

"It’s true that I was a topless dancer, but that’s all."

According to the National Enquirer Nadya told a friend said:

"I had not even kissed a boy. But I entered a dance/lingerie contest in a club near my home. I danced and paraded in lingerie. Then, when I was 19, I went to a gentleman’s club and performed as a topless dancer. But I only did it one night. I quit when I found out I was expected to perform lap dances on the customers."

"It was an investigative stage of my life."

This really explains a lot. Nadya has a narcissistic need to be the center of attention, which 14 children, and the media circus now surrounding her seems to be satisfying.

Nadya has caused a great deal of concern since she fired the free Nurses from Angels in Waiting connected with Gloria Allred after Allred showed up to Nadya’s home unannounced. Nadya tried to explain why she fired the nurses on the Dr. Phil show by phone:

"The primary issue was that myself and my nannies felt extremely uncomfortable. I personally felt like a stranger in my own home. The goal was to empower me as a mother, help me, train me. I’m open to that, I want that, I want to do the very best for these premature babies."

"I wanted [Angels] to use their training and knowledge to help guide me. I felt that was never accomplished. I felt as though every time I tried to hold the babies, feed the babies, they would be observing and they were waiting for me to make a mistake."

Suleman is bound to make a lot of mistakes with 8 premature babies, and 6 children at home. There’s no way she could not make mistakes. The goal is to make sure those mistakes aren’t harmful to the babies, which is why so many people are concerned. There’s only one Nadya, so she needs help.

Gloria Allred has her own side of the story. She says:

"Our major concern has always been the best interest of the babies, and of course, I happen to disagree with quite a bit of what Nadya said in terms of what has happened. I think the real reason that Nadya has not been able to continue with Angels in Waiting may be the fact that not one, but three reports had to be filed with Child Protective Service by Angels in Waiting," who are required to report any missteps they see to child services.

"The whole point of Angels in Waiting, besides providing such high-quality care, was not to put the burden on the taxpayer, but that’s what Nadya and Jeff are doing. They want to shut everybody up, that’s wrong. I want to know what they are hiding and why."

On Octomom’s side is attorney Jeff Czech, who maintains that they have nothing to hide, but that the initial arrangement with Angels in Waiting put Suleman in an untenable position.

"I don’t think anyone really foresaw the extent of what would happen the first time around," he said, referring to the night of March 17, when the first of the octuplets, Isaiah and Noah, were released from the hospital.

Despite all the drama the Hospital is getting ready to release the final four of the octuplets into Nadya’s care.

Jim Anderson, from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, explained the the firing of the Angels in Waiting nurses will not have any impact on the babies release, since that is a separate issue. He explained:

"That won’t have any impact. That is between AIW and Nadya Suleman. The AIW is a whole separate thing. Our decision to discharge the babies previously and now, never had anything to do with AIW."

"Our home health nurses have done a couple of visits and have provided some training and guidance to her new caregivers. Remember, these babies are discharged home, just like any other baby would."

"There are two pediatric nurses coming every day to help out the nannies."

"Obviously, they want to make sure she has enough people to take care of them, but, in terms of who the caregivers are, that is pretty much her decision."

That’s true. Now that the decision to allow Nadya to care for the octuplets at home has been made, Gloria Allred needs to mind her own business, and the proper authorities need to continue to work with and assess Nadya, and the octuplet environment, to make sure everything goes well. Allred is only trying to keep her name in the headlines as usual. If she really cared, she donate money or some time helping care for the babies.

Nancy O’Dell was one of the many stars injured while training for Dancing with the Stars this season, only Nancy’s injury resulted in a torn meniscus in two places, and arthroscopic knee surgery March 20. Nancy is currently resting at home. She says:

"When the surgeon saw the inside of my knee, it was worse than he expected. To quote him, the meniscus in my knee was ’shredded’. It looked like a snow globe."

OUCH!

Nancy’s husband helped her get around after surgery:

"My husband had to carry me up and down the stairs, even to the bathroom … now, that’s love!"

"I have to keep my leg elevated as much as possible, so I spend a lot of time in bed or on the couch."

Nancy watches Dancing with the Stars with her baby girl:

"My baby girl claps loudly at the end of each dance," she says of daughter Ashby, who turns 2 in June. "She particularly seems to like Steve-O!"

How cute!

Nancy has a new book called Full of Life, which will be in bookstores April 14.

Get well soon Nancy.
