Britney Spears told David Letterman Tuesday that she is pregnant with baby No. 2. "Don't worry Dave, it's not yours," the pop princess quipped. The revelation ended weeks of speculation in entertainment magazines, which have been regularly publishing pictures of Spears'apparently expanding waistline. Spears, 24, and her husband, backup dancer-turned-rapper Kevin Federline, 28, were married in 2004 and have an 8-month-old son, Sean Preston. Federline also has two children, Kori and Kaleb, with his former girlfriend, Shar Jackson. Spears rose to fame at 16 with a naughty schoolgirl image and the multiplatinum album "... Baby One More Time."

While this thought seemed a little reaching at the time, it looks like it could very well become a reality. Taylor Hicks solidified his place in the top three by a very strong performance of “ In The Ghetto, ” and Elliott Yamin stole the show with two of the best performances of the competition to date. It is now Katharine Mcphee and Chris Daugthry that are likely going to be on the chopping block during the American Idol results show. While the judges ’ review might lead many to believe that it will be Katharine Mcphee going, the negative comments could actually work to her advantage. Katharine Mcphee fans knew that she was at risk last night and rallied to try to keep her in the competition. Chris Daughtry fans might not have suspected that Chris would be at risk.

Couple weeks ago, I'm in Kansas City to do a reading. I'm a tad nervous. It's one thing to be safe on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and boldly go where no satire has gone before; quite another to trek deep into the red bits. These days, Kansas is a passionate and polarized place. You never know on which side of the literal-bible debate the guy in the front row of plastic chairs at Borders, might be. After all, according to the Book of Revelation (Rev 23.11), when Christ returns He'll have a concealed-carry permit. All good Christians pack heat. Blessed are the piece-packers...

So, get ready for a really bloody, nasty election season. They are already working hard to distract and divide us -- witness the "flap" around the national anthem in Spanish. We musn't fall for it. Our job is to find infrequent environmental voters -- ones who voted in 2004 but didn't vote in 2002 -- and get them excited about the opportunity to bring a new spirit to Washington, and with it, new environmental leadership. These voters are all over America, in every state and district. We just have to find them, and talk to them -- better yet, listen to them, find the key to their hearts, and tell them the Earth needs their vote.

In all, Stadium Arcadium is a summation of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, comprised of almost every segment of their sound past and present. It ’ s a stunning compilation of tracks out of the 38 originally recorded. This album could ’ ve signaled RHCP ’ s decline as a once-great band but instead it marks the beginning of the second half of their life as a band. All the members are present and in full force on Stadium Arcadium. It ’ s an album any self-respecting lover of music, particularly rock and funk, should own.

Remnick also veered into the political for a moment, saying that the past six years have "miserable" for the country but that the byproduct had been "a boon for commentary." Remnick was talking specifically about the Commentary Ellie for Hendrik Hertzberg, but it occurred to me last night, on the year anniversary of the Huffington Post, that Remnick's comment was especially applicable to the blogosphere. Which leads me to my next observation: National Geographic won this year's award for General Excellence Online. Well-deserved, to be sure but more than any other category, that one will be positively reinvented next year as magazines get their acts together on the internet (fortunately, they've had some good advice).

Here was my chance to ask her one of the many burning questions I have for her. So I ran through the options in my mind: When will our troops be coming home from Iraq? How real is the possibility of commando raids on Iran? Why is the president so intent on standing by Rumsfeld? How did Porter Goss beat Rummy out the door? Has Rummy's Medal of Freedom already been minted? Will Bush's Nixonian approval ratings at home make her job tougher abroad? (I knew the one question I wouldn't ask: What about 2008? I'll let Tim Russert keep asking and asking and asking and asking that one. He owns the copyright on it.)

The movie is done in a semi documentary style reminiscent of Costa Garvas or those who have followed him. The story alludes to Guy Fawkes a Catholic dissident who resisted and paid with his life in 1605 when the English Monarchy decided to establish the Church of England in place of the Roman Catholic Church for reasons of regal convenience. William Shakespeare and his parents were forced to leave the Roman Catholic Church and join the Church of England at the time. At the present time in England Fawkes ’ s execution is a celebrated holiday. Thus there is a rich history to be drawn on for this picture but wasn ’ t.

Sitting in the audience during the vice presidential debates, when John Edwards brought up the issue of her sexuality, she mouthed the words "Go Fuck Yourself" to him. You'll remember her father used that same phrase in referring to Sen. Patrick Leahy on the floor of the Senate.

The reason I bring this up is that I also was recently watching Nick Lachey on some show about his heartache over losing his marriage with Jessica Simpson. If these two couples seem to have nothing in common let me explain. It appears to many that as Jessica Simpson gained stardom and confidence, things became harder for Nick to compete with. People change, and especially when thrown into the life of a celebrity, under a microscope. Nick himself said that he and Jessica felt additional pressure to be that "perfect couple" all the time. You always hope that the love is enough, but as we see day in and day out, unfortunately circumstances interfere.

Even more odd is Larson's comment that he would aim for a PG-13 rating because he doesn't want to exclude the series'core audience. Dude, the show ran from 1982-86... the core audience is over 13 (physically, anyway).

The Clear Channel announcement will steal some of the thunder away from satellite radio, which now has a collection of top-level talkers. The biggest of those is Howard Stern, who is single-handedly boosting the fortunes of Sirius Satellite Radio and possibly the format overall. Others include Opie & Anthony, who recently debuted on XM Satellite Radio following a controversial terrestrial tenure. Meanwhile, the absence of Stern has created an enormous gap for CBS Radio, prompting the company to sign a syndication deal to broadcast censored morning shows from Opie & Anthony. Moving forward, budding talk radio personalities will have a tough choice to make, though terrestrial radio offers a much larger listening audience for those seeking greater exposure.

The oily owner of the New York Confidential escort service called from Rikers Island to say that in 2004, Sheen shelled out more than $20,000 for Cheryl, a blond ballerina and Juilliard grad, and Victoria, a dark-haired former Hotel Gansevoort hostess, for romps at trendy 60 Thompson in Soho.

I'm glad that storyline is finally over because I really never felt engaged with it the way I did Lilly's murder.

Florida looks like a boring race where the GOP will hold the state house. But the Ohio Governor's race will be one to certainly watch, because if Ken Blackwell can pull out a come from behind victory he will immediately be a serious VP candidate who would take Ohio out of play for Democrats,

Writers Sasha Frere-jones and Jessica Hopper have accused musician Stephin Merritt (The Magnetic Fields, et al.) of racism because "(h) e doesn't like hip-hop, and on those occasions when he's publicly discussed his personal music tastes, he has criticized black artists," says John Cook in Slate. Frere-jones called Merritt a "cracker," and Hopper misquoted the musician as saying he loved the racist movie Song of the South. (Merritt actually called the movie "terrible," and Hopper later apologized on her blog.) Hopper responds by saying, as near as I can tell, that she only called Merritt a racist a few times, which apparently lets her off the hook nicely. Frere-jones responds on his blog, but doesn't address the "cracker" comment, which is worrisome.

Today aired the graphic in the course of Matt Lauer's interview of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Despite mental meanderings in Ahmadinejad's letter that prompted the Wall Street Journal to editorialize this morning about "Crazy Mahmoud", Lauer seemingly attached great significance to the missive, repeatedly pressing Secretary Rice to seize the occasion to open direct talks with the Iranians. In doing so, Lauer was perhaps channeling former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, who just yesterday wrote a column in the Wall Street Journal urging the administration to commence such talks with a view to settling "all issues of mutual concern."

I love Malcolm in the Middle. I love The Simpsons. I love Sandra Bullock (just saw an ad on TV for her new movie, starring the reclusive hotbod Keanu Reeves).

Superbowl MVP Hines Ward to Peyton Manning: "I know you 're great and all, but you don't have a ring. You can be all this, all world, but you don't have a ring. I have a ring. There's nothing you can say to me right now"

In Nebraska, Gov. Dave Heineman fended off Rep. Tom Osborne (R) in the gubernatorial primary, 50% to 44%. Heineman appears highly favored in his bid to hold the governor ’ s mansion. Hotline On Call has more.

And then they invited a guy from the audience to play a four-man tennis match with Shigeru Miyamoto, Fils-amie, and Satoru Iwata. The gameplay looked easy to pick up, and just fun. Oh, and 27 games will be playable on the show floor.

As I explained in March, clowns like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are in a genuine panic over this. The FCC says that the average household watches only 17 channels — and apparently, evangelical right-wingers aren't pulling in the viewers. To help lobby against the per-channel pricing, Robertson's CBN, Falwell, Benny Hinn Ministries, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Robertson's American Center for Law and Justice, and Familynet TV — a motley crew, to be sure — have teamed up to save the costly and impractical cable system that helps keep them on the air.

Magpie writes: Peter Jackson and Tim Burton are making an appearance in the Heart of the City comic strip to encourage budding filmaker, Dean, to follow his own vision. The teaser for their appearance was on May 6th, but we don't know who has shown up until May 8th, (These comics are only available a week back... checking sooner rather than later is good). The current day's strip is always found here.

Charlie Casserly resigned today as the GM of the Houston Texans. For all of you who have been living under a sports rock for the the last 3 weeks, he is the man who decided to pick Mario Williams instead of Reggie Bush with the number 1 overall pick in the NFL draft. He had one year remaining on his contract. Its really quite obvious that he was forced out by the owner of the team Bob Mcnair for being stupid enough to take Williams over Bush. Apparently Casserly is going to try to apply to become the Vice President of Football Operations for the NFL. I hope they have the common sense to recognize a moron when they see one. Who in their right mind would pass on Bush (or the chance to throw in a cheesy double entendre)?

So we have Ewan Mcgregor and Scarlett Johansson as "Lincoln Echo Whatever" and "Jordan Hottie Seven" or something. And she ’ s won "The Lottery." I sorta wished it had been Shirley Jackson ’ s "The Lottery," because then the movie would have been over pretty quickly. Instead, Lincoln discovers the truth the night before Jordan is to leave, and they escape to the real world. The evil corporation guy (played by Sean Bean, who is always good, no matter what tripe he ’ s in) sends a group of hardened ex-delta Force/Seals/Rangers after the two. And, since this is a movie, the two clones with high-school educations and absolutely no combat experience beyond punching each other in some lame product placement future Xbox game manage to elude and kill several of those Delta Force guys.

Ryan Zimmerman did it. Alfonso Soriano did it, in a big way. Jose Guillen did it. Twice. Even Matt Lecroy did it. They combined for five home runs — the most in a single game for the franchise since Les Expos hit five in a game in 2000 — while Tony Armas pitched six strong innings. Nats win, 7-1.

Congressman Charles Rangel, Richard Holbrooke and Les Gelb (the Council of Foreign Relations head who wants to decentralize power in Iraq) will be hosting a fund-raiser at the Core Club tomorrow night for California's Democratic Congressional Candidate, Steve Filson. Filson is one of several candidates trying to unseat Republican Richard Pombo, the conservative chairman of the House Resources Committee and the bane of environmentalists. Pombo may be especially vulnerable these days. He received campaign contributions from Neil Volz, a top aide to Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio. Mr. Volz on Monday admitted to trying to corrupt public officials in connection with the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.

Ok, I think it's no secret that I'm not a fan of DC Comics - except Batman, because he has no "super powers" - but I especially don't care for the Superman story. However, I just caught a glimpse of the trailer the new one coming out and I think I might see it for one reason and one reason only: Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Amazing! Mmmm. :)
