Kevin Federline beefs up security
Kevin Federline has doubled security at his home now that Britney's out of the hospital. He's seriously pissed that she was released so soon and fears she'll make a run at the boys like she did in February 2007, according to OK! Magazine: "The boys are safe for now," the source reveals to OK!. "But Kevin feels Britney is clearly deranged, and there's no telling what she'll do. After all, this is a woman who two days ago barricaded herself in her bedroom with her youngest child for three hours!" Adds the insider, "You can't get mentally well in a hospital after 36 hours." A reliable source for People revealed today that Britney's drug test was negative for drugs and alcohol echoing early reports that her episode was mental: "She tested clean," the source says. "This lady is as clean as clean can be, and has been for some time." If I were Kevin Federline, I'd have two tanks parked on my front yard.
Disregard test times, says Coulthard
Mark Webber's Red Bull car has again topped the test times in Spain but teammate David Coulthard has warned against unrealistic expectations at next month's Australian F1 Grand Prix. For the second time in official testing Webber set the pace, working through the team's program in Jerez and relegating the Williams of Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima to second and third. But Coulthard, the most experienced driver in F1, said those slick times were unlikely to translate to race pace at Albert Park. "I've done lots of testing over the years and some of those tests have been fantastic and some of them have been s***," Coulthard told AAP. "I wouldn't read anything into it - I think that anyone who expects anything different than McLaren or Ferrari to be setting the pace at the beginning of the season, I would be extremely surprised.
Sam Springer from GTA, Canada writes: McGuinty has lots of vision;
Raise taxes, check lunch bags, let's make sure we take our empties to the beer store and last but not least let's make sure we hire more public sector workers to increase our power base.
Not only the small man of confederation but the small man of Ontario. For the good of the province he should think outside the Toronto box. Posted 20/02/08 at 9:17 AM EST | Link to Comment .
Spears' Mother 'Shocked' Over Singer's 'Mental Deterioration'
A U.S. magazine claims that Lynne Spears – who flew out to Los Angeles from Louisiana on Monday – is deeply devastated at the singer’s troubled state. "Lynne was devastated," a source tells the publication. "She hadn't seen her in a while and to see her deteriorated to this level – what mother wouldn't be affected by that? It's awful." The bickering duo made headlines yesterday after they were involved in an altercation outside a Mercedes Benz dealership in Beverly Hills. "Lynne and Britney were arguing in the car the whole time" a witness told People.com. "They're both upset and arguing, not having a good time at all." Spears was temporarily committed to UCLA Medical Centre yesterday for a "carefully orchestrated" intervention. According to TMZ.com, the 26-year-old’s psychiatrist made a call to police after witnessing her "erratic driving" and "downhill behavior." Spears is expected to be released from hospital in the next 72-hours, however other news outlets claim the singer could be hospitalized for the next 10 days.
Keane: Big-ego players detrimental to England
The former Ireland midfielder said he understood why Steve McClaren was sacked as manager following England's 3-2 home defeat by Croatia that ended their Euro 2008 hopes but added that there were more fundamental problems with the set up. 'England should qualify with the players they have but good players don't always make a good team,' Keane told a press conference. 'Certainly last night they didn't do it. The manager pays the price but the players didn't do him any favours. 'From the outside looking in, I tend to think there are too many egos in there, too many big heads. If you get carried way with a little bit of success then you are in trouble. 'You look at the England set up and they don't appear to be a happy bunch I have to say. 'Watching the highlights and some of the players being interviewed last night and their body language, I don't think international football is that important to a lot of these players these days and club football has taken over, especially for a lot of top players involved in the Champions League.' Keane, one of the most committed and dedicated professionals of recent years, felt the English FA was working hard to encourage the development of basic skills at grass roots level.
Sudan sees U.S. relations normalized within 6 months
Although Washington has a large embassy in Khartoum, it does not have a full ambassadorial post. Removing sanctions was tied first to ending a long running war in the south of Africa's largest country, but after a north-south peace deal the separate conflict in Darfur brought a new U.S. focus on human rights and kept relations icy. "The end game is normalization of relations between the two countries," Foreign Minister Deng Alor told reporters after the meeting new envoy Richard Williamson, who was making his first trip to Sudan since taking up the post. "We have a timetable something between now and the coming four months ...maximum six months." He said normalization could include restoring a U.S. ambassador in Sudan, the lifting of some or all the sanctions and the removal of Sudan from the list of sponsors of terrorism.
