The Justice

Britney is back in our pages. There's more legal trouble for the disheveled popster, and this time it doesn't involve her relinquished rugrats. Johnny Wright, a music manager and the founder of Wright Music Group, is suing Spears over breach of contract and failure to report accounting records to the company. According to Wright, his company helped Brit-Brit procure contracts for such albums as In the Zone and the collection Greatest Hits-My Prerogative. The lawsuit may prove a career-halter-not for Britney, but for Wright. Publicizing the fact that his company helped bring about the late works of the Spears oeuvre does not bode well for the future business prospects of a man whose other high-profile clients include(d) New Kids on the Block, *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Britney's publicist refused to comment.

Brandeis students may remember a certain Shia "Chia Pet" LaBeouf (Lewis Stevens, anyone?) from their Disney Channel days, or from the recent blockbuster Transformers. A recent shenanigan takes the token egghead best friend far from his Even Stevens days: According to Perez Hilton, Shia was arrested in Chicago early Sunday morning. He was arrested (wait for it) at a Walgreens for (wait for it) not leaving the Walgreens. Apparently a security guard repeatedly asked a drunken Shia to leave the store, and the actor (whose name means, when translated from Hebrew and French, "give thanks to God for beef") couldn't bring himself to leave the late-night hotspot.

To return to the blond songstress category, Christina Aguilera made news recently when she confirmed to Glamour magazine that she is, indeed, pregnant. Christina's pregnancy comes without controversy, given her role as America's demure genie-in-a-bottle-cum-dirrty-mud-wrestler. Christina is reportedly "anxious" and her husband, music marketing executive Jordan Bratman, is "thrilled" and "ecstatic." The 26-year-old singer also told Glamour that she wants to continue working after the birth of the child by "balancing" her career and her motherhood. "I want to get it right," she said.
