Britney Heads to Big Easy for High-Stakes Comeback

The elaborate costumes are packed. The 16 semis filled with magic props and big-top sets are on the road.

When Britney Spears takes the stage at the New Orleans Arena on March 3 – the opening night of her Circus tour – the stakes will never be higher. After more than two years of personal drama, the tour will either make or break the professional comeback she began last fall.

According to sources, Spears, 27, who left Friday for Louisiana, has been hard at work preparing for the show, which will feature her signature sexy dance moves, a stage filled with three circus rings, and magic tricks.

"She's pretty determined," a friend says. "She missed singing and performing and the freedom of that. It gives her an escape and it's what she loves to do, so she's definitely thankful to be doing that again."

"It" Girl Madonna Tired of "It" From Guy

"It" happens when you get divorced. Apparently, a lot of it. The gossip hounds point out that Guy Ritchie has been derisively referring to Madonna as an "it" since before they were divorced.

Ritchie reportedly often told English tabloids things like "Oh, It's in a bad mood today," and "We can't make It angry."

Of course, it is a two-way street. When asked about Guy's comments, Madonna's rep Liz Rosenberg told Page Six: "It hasn't been in a bad mood since the divorce was finalized." And so it goes.

Jonas Brothers: They're, um, No. 2

A funny thing happened on the way to Jonas Brothers world domination: a second-place finish.

Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience grossed an estimated $12.7 million Friday-Sunday, failing to live up to the multimedia hype, and failing to unseat Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail as the No. 1 movie at the weekend box office.

Shockingly, the Jonases' movie not only didn't live up to initial projections, it didn't live up to downwardly revised estimates following its underwhelming Friday debut.

Grey's Anatomy Star Chyler Leigh Is Naming Her Baby "Aniston"

The third child– and second daughter — for Grey's Anatomy Star Chyler Leigh and Nathan West will be named Aniston Kay.

“My husband was actually the one who picked it,” the 26-year-old Grey’s Anatomy actress revealed Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “He did a good job.”

When asked by host Ellen DeGeneres if actress Jennifer Aniston was his inspiration, Chyler joked “she is like my best friend,” before clarifying, “I’ve never met her actually, no [laughs].”

“It was just something…my husband and I were trying to look for different names and both of our kids have a traditional and a unique name, so we were kind of just looking for something not as common.”

Impressed by their willingness to defy convention, Ellen joked ”if you have another one, call it ‘DeGeneres.’”

Aniston, who is due on May 15th, will join big siblings Noah Wilde, 5, and Taelyn Leigh, 2, at home.

Three More Finalists Join American Idol's Top 12

A big voice in a small package, 16-year-old Allison singlehandedly woke up the judges, who had been sinking into their chairs under the weight of bad song choices, when she boomed out "How Do I Get You Alone."

Her mature performance scored her tonight's first ticket into the Top 12 when Ryan Seacrest started the reaping and sowing.

Adam, with his David Cook-reminiscent hairdo and theatrical but inviting stage presence, was also a near sure thing—and sure enough, to his and our "Satisfaction," America agreed.

And Kris Allen, aided by good looks, sheer likeability and potential—his "Man in the Mirror" was better the second time around, minus the nerves— who filled the final slot.

Meanwhile, the judges finally admitted out loud that they would be picking a few of their favorite for the upcoming Wild Card sing-off, to take place March 5.

"Maybe even a couple from tonight you're going to see again," teased Simon Cowell.

Two Melrose Place Stars Still Dating

Heather Locklear and beau Jack Wagner attended the Opening of Reality Check in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

If one were to see these two strolling through a mall, it would be alarming. It's time to accept that aging happens.....he looks almost woman-ish with all of his obvious "work". It may be time for a new hairstyle for her--she looks like a member of an 80's heavy metal band.

Kendra Wilkinson's Bro to Walk Her Down the Aisle

After much speculation, it appears Hugh Hefner will not give Kendra Wilkinson away on her wedding day to Hank Baskett.

"I would definitely love for him to walk me down [the aisle]," Kendra reports of Hef's offer, but adds that she decided her brother would ultimately be a better choice.

"I think it would mean a lot to my family and me down the line," the bubbly blonde says. "It just makes more sense."

So does Hef have any hard feelings about the change of plans?

It doesn't sound like it, since they're still getting married at the Playboy Mansion. "Hef loves Hank," Kendra says, revealing that the two men in her life share another common interest—both are big fans of the comic book character Flash Gordon.

One subject Hef and Hank don't agree on? Reality TV. Kendra says she can't wait for her spin-off show to start this summer on E! but her fiance isn't as eager. “It’s hard for him. He's a football player,” says Kendra.

And although her own love life is going great, Kendra can't help but reflect on Holly Madison's sudden split with Criss Angel.

“It sucks that they broke up, and I hope she finds what she was looking for,” says Kendra. “I don't know what happened. I hope she finds happiness. She is a great person with so much love to give.”

DWTS' Karina & Maksim Want to Wed "Before the End of This Year"

Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy tell Usmagazine.com they have begun planning their wedding.

"We started talking about it and figuring out when and where we're going to have it," she said. "But there's so many family members that have a say that we got to try to make sure that everyone will be happy. But we think it will be sometime before the end of this year. So, not so long."

Who said "I love you" first?

"She did. But I followed quickly after," added Chmerkovskiy, who popped the question on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas.

Both are in midst of rehearsing for Dancing With the Stars' upcoming season, debuting March 9.

Chmerkovskiy will dance with Denise Richards.

"She hasn't said a complaint and stays on the floor for like six hours straight," he said.

Their first dance will be "the Cha Cha."

Smirnoff is paired with Apple co-founder Steve Woziak.

"He's a little out of his element but has the biggest personality you'll ever meet," she says. "He's super funny and super charming."

"I never expected him to be on the show because he's a very private person," she adds. "To have him come out and do something completely different from the computer world was a surprise."
