Britney's Rehab Tennis Partner ID'ed

Remember when Britney Spears was in rehab and she was photographed playing tennis with some dude? And remember when Britney and her tennis partner dude disappeared into the shrubs to dry hump, and had to be seperated by rehab security?

Well, the unidentified tennis playing Britney humper has been identified, by none other than the guy's own publicist.

Musician Howie Day's publicist wrote to Page Six to tell us that Britney Spears' recent unidentified tennis partner at Promises rehab center in Los Angeles, where they were photographed, is none other than her client. Day is evidently being treated at the facility, and his rep informed us, "He is promising to finish his next album when he emerges."

Day is mostly known as a one hit wonder for the song "Collide", which acchieved quite a bit of radio success after it was featured on TV shows 'Scrubs' and 'One Tree Hill'. Since then he has had a few scrapes with the law, and is supposedly now back in the recording studio working on another album.

Chicken stuff...

Well, wow. I guess I've been a little lax in updating this! But I've got good reason, really - on March 6, we received our baby chicks from the hatchery in Iowa! We are now the proud parents of 16 chickens who will supply us with fresh eggs for the next several years. It was sort of a nightmare at first - the hatchery shipped them during a BLIZZARD, and as a result, they were stuck for an additional 24 hours on an unheated truck without food or water, which proved fatal for eleven of the original twenty seven that we received. (Needless to say, we were greatly disturbed by this, and I let the hatchery know exactly how I felt about the whole thing!) Tom and I spent the first seventy-two hours getting up every few hours in the middle of the night to check on the ones that weren't doing so well, and we told everyone: if you're not sure if you're ready to have a baby, start with chickens! Nothing like rousing yourself at 2 a.m. when it's twenty below zero and dragging yourself out into a dark garage to check on dying baby chicks... Yikes! And of course, the day we got them was the start of a week-long cold snap where the daytime high temperatures ranged up to about...oh...five degrees above zero...! Good thing we have the monitor heater in the workshop to keep the place around eighty degrees for the little babies...

BUT, the sixteen that we have now are all thriving, and they are just some of the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen! They each have these wonderful personalities, and I haven't told Tom yet, but I've started naming them... Last week, they discovered that they had WINGS and that they could FLY! So Tom built them a little set of "chicken bleachers" so they have a place to perch and roost. They are a ton of work, I won't kid anyone about that, but they are so much fun, too! We easily kill a few hours each day taking care of them and then just hanging about and watching them. When they sleep at night, they all pile on top of each other, and as I told our friend Rob (who is in on the whole chicken-raising operation with us), it looks just like someone emptied a bag of chickens out onto the floor of the brooding box! Next step: Tom and Rob have to buy lumber and windows and are going to build a well-insulated chicken coop out in the backyard under the pole barn for the girls. I feel as if I'm living on a homestead! Kinda nice, actually...

And on that note, of things kinda nice, I sold a necklace yesterday to the woman who works in the lab at the wastewater plant with Tom. She's been after me for a while that she wants to buy one of my pieces, and before she had expressed an interest in buying The Blue Beyond, but she wound up buying We're All the Same But Different! That's the last piece I would have ever figured she would like, but she asked me to lengthen it to a 20" necklace, which I did, and I delivered it yesterday afternoon to her. She put it on right away, and I have to admit, I just laughed out loud because it looked PERFECT on her! And it gave me such a good feeling, knowing that I crafted this necklace that she absolutely fell in love with, and then when she bought it, I felt like it really made her feel good about herself, and that made me feel good! It was just such a happy-Zen moment, that I immediately went home last night and started sketching a whole bunch of new designs to work on (in all my spare time, har har har...)

So, on Tuesday, I am driving out to Clayton with my friend Mary Jane to visit the gift shop at the Handweaving Museum and Art Center to talk to the gift shop manager and programming director about selling my work through their gift shop. How exciting! My first museum! It's such a beautiful museum, and I can't wait to look around the gift shop with Kim on Tuesday... I was hoping to have a line of fused glass jewelry ready to go by then, but I just haven't had the time (or the money) to invest in a whole new line of materials... As it is, I don't think I could have done much kiln work in the workshop with the baby chicks in there, anyway - I don't want to expose them to anything else that could make them ill! But, at some point in the near future, I will get into the glass fusing work more, and then I'll post some new work on my website and on my Etsy store.

Thanks for reading my blog, everybody, and I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing weekend! I am going to spend the weekend finishing my application for the Philadelphia Museum of Craft's annual show, so cross your fingers for me!

Wahlberg and Shyamalan to Team Up

Mark Wahlberg has signed on to M. Knight Shyamalan's new thriller 'The Happening'.

Wahlberg will play Elliot Moore in a story about a family on the run from an apocalyptic threat to humanity. Shyamalan wrote the original screenplay, and produces with Sam Mercer and Barry Mendel.

John Travolta Solves Global Warming!

John Travolta has unveiled his plan to solve the problem of global warming....move to another planet!

The actor, who is a follower of Scientology, thinks the only way mankind may be able to survive the impending environmental disaster is to colonise another world.

Travolta - who infuriated environmentalists by flying his private jet to the London premiere of his new film 'Wild Hogs' - told BANG Showbiz: "I think that everyone can do their bit, but I'm wondering if we have to start thinking about other planets and also domed cities, because I don't know if there's a way to repair these holes in the sky."

Can we get our tickets for the space shuttle now? Is there a line?

Jenna Jameson Gets a Little Work Done

Jenna Jameson, porn star extraordinaire, has reportedly had a little lift and tuck on her undercarriage in the form of a vaginoplasty. Jameson has been left very unhappy with the results of the surgery, and has holed up (no pun intended) and isn't speaking to anybody.

Unfortunately for Jenna, talks are in progress to turn her book 'How to Make Love Like a Porn Star' into a mainstream movie, and she hasn't showed up to the meetings. This could mean the end of the film, which she had handpicked Scarlett Johannsen to star in as herself. No word on whether ScarJo had actually accepted or even considered the role.

Britney Celebrates Divorce Settlement

What does every other newly minted rehab graduate do when they want to celebrate a big moment like divorce? Go to a bar, of course! That's just what Britney Spears did last night after spending the day with Kevin Federline and a bunch of lawyers finalizing the terms of their divorce.

Brit showed up at Bridge Restaurant and Lounge, wearing a wig and a ridiculous Bedazzled hat that didn't go with her sexy dress at all. The popster stayed only 30 minutes before leaving for parts unknown, but sported a huge smile for the paps.

Jewelry Art: Etched Long Dome

This long-dome style ring is a classic shape for my style - I love what a longer ring does to a lady's hand. This one I treated a little differently: first, I covered the surface with designs and glyphs, tediously etched into the surface with dental burrs and stipple tools... and secondly, instead of flush-inlaying the sugilite stone into the surface, I thought it would be more dramatic if the stone rose out of the top surface in a polished bezel. And I went one step further: I made the bezel just slightly smaller than the opening in the dome, leaving a black space between the bezel & dome that forms a dramatic accent.

The stone is sugilite from Africa - a gorgeous purple stone with bluish-white & dark matrix. This ring just sold, but I am currently working on a variation on the theme, which will be offered here when complete. It will be signed on the back with my hallmark stamp, just as this one was. Price will be $345 plus $5 shipping and handling (priority mail). If you want me to send one to you, just email me at David@StewartArt.com or phone me at the studio: (505) 296-1400.,
or click this button to add it to your shopping cart:

PLEASE NOTE that the stone in your ring will be different than the one pictured - every stone is different! In fact, if you have a specific preference, including different colored stones used together, please let me know in your email - I will do everything I can to accomodate your wishes. Some stones may be more expensive, and add to the price above.

Stripes May Be in This Season for Hilton

Celebutard Paris Hilton may face up to 90 days in jail after being found in violation of her probation and knowingly driving with a suspended license.

Previously, Hilton's spokesman Elliot Mintz told the Associated Press that she was unaware that her license had been suspended.

"When Paris called me (after she was pulled over on Feb. 27), she asked if her license was suspended," Mintz said. "If that's the case, she and I are unaware of it."

But Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the City Attorney's Office, said Thursday: "We have sufficient evidence to prove that Hilton had knowledge of the suspension, and yet continued to drive."

Hilton's attorney's have managed to get her out of tight legal spots before, but they may not be so lucky this time, and the celebutard extraordinaire may have to serve some jail time.

Sarah Michelle Gellar to Join Batman Sequel?

Joss Whedon, creator of the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' series, let the cat out of the bag that Sarah Michelle Gellar is more than likely joing the 'Batman' cast.

In a post on his website, Whedon wrote "I had been talking back and forth with one of Sarah Michelle Gellar's reps about a role in a new film I start shooting in May. "They expressed a morsel of interest... Unfortunately, yesterday (28MAR07) we were informed that she wouldn't be able to do it; because there might be a clash with Batman."

I think that would be awesome if SMG was in 'Batman', and I might be more inclined to actually see it as opposed to Katie Holmes or Maggie Gyllenhaal. Don't worry Maggie fans, she is still part of the cast.

Hudson-McConaughey Filming Halted for Jellyfish

'Fool's Gold', starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey and filming off Fraser Island, Australia, had to halt production at it's current location because of jellyfish.

A scene in the film was to have featured the actors swimming off the island. "You can't now say the waters around Fraser Island are jellyfish safe," Dr. Jamie Seymour of James Cook University, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "I mean, these animals have the potential to kill you." The irukandji jellyfish are only thumbnail sized but are regarded as one of the world's most toxic creatures. Their sudden discovery around Fraser Island was being blamed on global warming.

No word yet on when or where filming is to resume.

The Name's Bono....Sir KBE Bono

U2 frontman received the honor of being knighted at a Dublin ceremony Thursday. Because he isn't a British citizen, the customary title of "sir" doesn't come with it.

The actual title that was bestowed on Bono is Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, or KBE.

During the event, a letter by British Prime Minister Tony Blair was read, praising the singer's activism. "I'll leave it to others far more knowledgeable than me to talk about U2's music," Blair wrote, according to the BBC. "All I'll say is that, along with millions of others right across the world, I'm a huge fan."

Bono also addressed the criticism – especially from Irish nationalists – that he would accept the British honor. "It has been a great year for this award to happen in," Bono said, adding, "And it does feel like this country and Great Britain are closer than they have ever been."

Stallone Hires Body Double for Rambo

Sylvester Stallone is hiring a body double for the filming of Rambo IV to help make him appear 30 years younger on screen. This comes after being popped for illegally importing human growth hormone into Australia last month.

The hardman last played the role in RAMBO 3 in 1988, but 20 years later he will again take up the long hair and gun-packed attire for another bash at the action film franchise.

And, being 60, Stallone has had to hire a 30-year-old body double to cover the shots he is now unable to do himself.

Stallone is hoping the film will be as much of a box office and critical success as 'Rocky Balboa' was.

Lohan's Love Life a Huge Guessing Game

Lindsay Lohan has been linked with quite a few names in the past couple of weeks, including Stavros Niarchos, James Blunt, Jude Law, Robbie Williams, and Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis (ew!). Planet Gossip writer Marc Malkin queried those close to La Linds about which one of those men was likely to be the one. The name that kept coming up was Law's.

Unfortunately for Lindsay, those close to Jude say she may have a big thing ofr the Brit actor, but the feeling is not mutual. Sources told Malkin Law insists the two have never hooked up. "She wants it to happen," one Law source insists. "But nothing is happening—nor will it."

This sounds suspiciously like the unrequited love situation with James Franco that was the catalyst for sending Linds to rehab.

According to Jude's friends, Lindsay developed a big crush on him when they were both filming in New Orleans at the same time.

Lindsay keeps getting these crushes on men who want nothing to do with her. Sounds like a daddy abandonment issue to me.

Haley Scarnato and Phil Stacey rounded out the bottom three, but were pronounced safe, and Sligh got the boot.

'Army of the Dead' Flick Coming Soon

Get ready zombie flick fans! Zack Snyder is set to direct 'Army of the Dead', an epic-scale project that's sure to have undead fans feeling giddy with glee.

Snyder directed 2004's 'Dawn of the Dead', and most recently the box office smash '300'.

Army is reportedly set in a not-too-distant future where the city of Las Vegas has been quarantined. The action revolves around a father who tries to save his daughter from the zombies.

Snyder and Warners have already hired screenwriter Joby Harold (Awake) to write the script.

The film may be shot, as 300 hundred was, entirely against green screen with visuals added later. Snyder told Daily Variety that Army of the Dead will have a sweeping, epic quality. "I feel like there hasn't been a zombie movie on the scale that we want to do it," he said.

I loves me some zombies! I can't wait.

Mest Rocker Lovato Avoids Murder Charge

Punk rocker Tony Lovato has dodged a bullet this week after being held by police on suspicion of murder.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has opted to not file charges against the former lead vocalist of the Illinois punk band Mest, who was arrested Sunday on suspicion of murder and booked for criminal homicide.

The 26-year-old rocker claimed that he stabbed Wayne Hughes, 25, in self-defense after the two got into an argument Sunday shortly after 8 a.m. in the parking garage of a Studio City apartment building where a woman who authorities say both men dated lives.

Prosecutors found "insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the killing was not a justifiable use of reasonable force in self-defense," D.A.'s Office spokeswoman Jane Robison said.

Lovato called 911 himself and willingly surrendered when officers arrived at the scene Sunday, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Lieutenant Andrew Neiman said.

The "Jaded" rocker told police that Hughes had assaulted him and then, "at some point, Mr. Lovato produced a knife and the victim was stabbed," Neiman said.

Casting Couch....

Chris Rock Gets Hit With Paternity Claim

Funny guy Chris Rock isn't laughing now that a woman has gone to the media with claims that he fathered her teenage son.

Kali Bowyer, 35, says she and Rock dated briefly before he hit it big. Bowyer got pregnant, and says that between the time the baby was born to age three she had tried going through Rock's lawyers to no avail. She says she just kept getting the brush off.

Now Bowyer says, she has decided to make the ordeal public because she has wanted Rock to take a paternity test for medical reasons. Her son has suffered from seizures from a young age, and getting a father's medical history will go a long way in solving the medical issue.

She also says she isn't interested in getting any of the comedian's money for herself, though support for her son would be nice. Neither does she wish to hurt Rock's marriage with wife Malaak, which has, according to the tabloids, been on the rocks.

Sculpture: Eskimo Dream

For the life of me, I just can't remember the title I gave this piece - Eskimo Dream will have to do for now. The body is carved from a mineshaft timber that my father-in-law, Allen, picked up somewhere in the Wyoming back country. He intended it to be firewood, but gave it to me to carve.

PHOTO BY AZAD - click to enlarge

The cavities in the body and head were flame-carved, the way canoes used to be hollowed out. I carved the face and mittens out of a slab of Mammoth ivory. I carved the fish out of Basswood (no, really!), and painted it with acrylic artists' colors - some of the "interference" and metallic and pearlescent colors are perfect for 3-dimensional shapes, and especially a fish! People kept asking me what kind of fish it was, so I invented the species - it was an "Everyfish". The base was carved from a chunk of snowy-white marble.

This piece sold many years ago - call me at the studio to ask about a variation on this theme.

E! Online Building Evacuated for Bomb Threat

If you're wondering why E! Online is a little slow on reprting the gossip today, it's because their building was evacuated a little while ago for a bomb threat.

Sources tell TMZ that two threatening phone calls were made from two different overseas locations.

We're told that Ryan Seacrest was not in the building at the time of the evacuation. Police sources tell TMZ that a security guard on scene reported the threats, and LAPD is currently at the location.

The EMI-Capitol Music Company and the G4 Network are also occupants of the building.

The building employees are to be hkept out of the building for at least one hour until authorities can determine if the threat was real or not.

Sanjaya Malakar is showing his desperation to distract the American public from his bad karaoke by performing in a ridiculous mohawk hairdo. The "fauxhawk" was actually made up of seven little ponytails on top of his head.

As far as his performance goes last night, he was apparently so busy perfecting his fauxhawk that he forgot to learn the lyrics to No Doubt's 'Spoiler'.

The website Idolator reports that Gwen Stefani, who was the guest last night, was so put off by Sanjaya's lackluster performances during rehearsal, she went to producers to put the kibosh on his performing any of her tunes.

"Sanjaya Malakar - He wanted to sing "Spoiler". She tried to get him to sing some 80's song. He said he was a big fan and he really wanted to do one of her songs. Gwen was upfront with him and told him she didn't think he could pull it off but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Today after seeing how rehearsals were going, she didnt' see any progress. She went to Nigel immediately and told him she does not want Sanjaya singing one of her songs whatsoever. Sanjaya didn't have many options at that point. He kind of got stuck with "Spoiler". This caused a big scene at the studio and was the talk all afternoon."

Oh snap! Even Gwen thinks you can't sing, dude! Go home already!

Girls Aloud Sarah Harding Becomes Lingerie Model

I don't usually write about UK bands or musicians in the blog unless they are really well known here in the US, but Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud is just so darn cute, AND she has my new favorite haircut.

Harding is the new model/spokesperson for Ultimo lingerie for the Spring and Summer collection. The photoshoot took place in Miami.

Sarah follows in the footsteps of Helena Christensen and Rachel Hunter as Ultimo models, and had a little bit of trepidation at the thought.

She said: "I am not a supermodel like all the other previous Ultimo models so I worked really hard to look the best I possibly could.

"The best bit is after the shoot when I get to take all the lingerie home with me."

Ultimo lingerie is available through their website and at Debenhams, a European department store chain.

Charitable Heather Mills Barely Bid On at Auction

Heather Mills, dubbed by 'Dancing With the Stars' a "charity campaigner" as her description, hit a road block selling herself and dance partner Jonathan Roberts for charity.

Heather and Jon attended the Starlight Starbright event, and what was being auctioned was a night with the two of them. The bidding started at $10,000, and there were no takers. The 'Dancing' couple then took the stage to garner some interest, and still no takers. The auctioneer then cut the opening bid in half, which I'm sure was quite embarassing for the Brit babe.

Dr. Phil took it upon himself to start the bidding, and waved his bid number. Unfortunately for Dr. Phil, no one else felt that sorry for her or wanted to spend an evening with Heather....there weren't any other bidders!

Perhaps good old Dr. Phil can spend the time he won giving Heather advice on how to win friends and influence people, because she needs a little help in that department.

Britney's Kids Aren't Warming Up to Her After Rehab

Britney Spears is feeling the after effects of being away from her kids all this time. Apparently the two boys are much more comfortable with dad K-Fed at his place than with mom.

Britney Spears did the right thing by checking into rehab, but now the “Toxic” star is distraught that her sons seem more comfortable spending time with her estranged hubby Kevin Federline than her, according to the upcoming issue of Star. “When Britney came to Kevin’s house, she realized the boys felt very at home there, and that there wasn’t a place for her,” an insider told the tab. “She hasn’t had very good visits with the boys.”

They probably forgot who she was and what she looked like after staying out all night clubbing for weeks at a time. Or perhaps she has changed up her look with the head shaving and wigs one too many times, and they just can't place her any more. I'm not surprised by this report at all.

Paulina Claims 'DWTS' "First to Go Home" Honor

Joining the crew of Tucker Carlson, Trista Rehn, and Kenny Mains, Paulina Porizkova garnered the lowest score and was sent packing last night from 'Dancing With the Stars'.

Though praised for her classy looks and elegant lines, Paulina just couldn't wow the judges or America enough to let her stay another week. Her dancing was okay, but she was just too stiff on her feet to really let any personality shine through, and personality she has. I think that dancing in front of millions of people may have overwhelmed her, and as a result Porizlova was very underwhelming in her abilities.

I thought she was pretty equal in dancing skill with Shandie Finnessey, who was the other low scoring dancer, but I guess Shandie must have gotten through to the audience just a bit more. Finnessey is very funny and engaging when they do the little interviews behind the scenes during practice. She also has a great rapport with her partner, which comes through in those bits.

Who do you think will be the next star to go home? My money's on Shandie or Leeza Gibbons. Neither seems to be able to let loose enough to be sexy or anything else while dancing.

Olsen Twins Getting Matching Nose Jobs

Dr. Raj Kanodia, nose job surgeon to the stars, is reportedly going to be performing matching nose jobs on the Olsen twins.

"When she talked to her sister about it, she loved the idea.

"They both love changing their looks. They thought this would make them look more polished."

Dr. Kanodia was in the news recently because he fixed Jennifer Aniston's deviated septum, and also fixed Cameron Diaz's broken nose.

Personally I think their noses look great. Maybe they should think about adding a little meat to ther frail bones, and fixing those mops they call hair instead.

Rachel Hunter Real Life "Stacy's Mom"

Stewart said he used to watch Hunter sunbathe in the nude at the pool.

"I used to stare at her when she was down by the pool sunbathing naked. I was like 15 or 16, and I was sitting in my pool with a bottle of lotion."

He says he never made a move on her because he was afraid he couldn't handle the full rejection. On the other hand, he said, it is Hollywood, so who knew what could have actually happened.

Another Jolie Kidnap Plot Foiled

Yet another kidnap plot to capture Angelina Jolie and/or one of her brood has been uncovered and foiled before being carried out.

This time Life & Style magazine reports that some "gang" had plotted to snatch Pax Jolie, the newly adopted Vietnamese boy, as he and Angelina landed in the US. The plan included demanding $100 million for his return.

L&S reports that a "credible" plot was "meticulously planned" by a gang that has executed kidnappings and extortion plots before. "They're highly skilled operatives with little regard for human life," says an insider close to Angelina Jolie's security team.

“Information came out that leaders of the gang ordered their LA members to devise a plan to kidnap Pax before demanding a ransom of $100 million for his safe return,” the insider says. “Brad and Angie would have a number of days to hand over the money or risk the boy’s life.”

I see a Lifetime network movie in Angelina Jolie's near future.

Jewelry Art: Scorpion

W-a-a-a-a-a-y back at the beginning of my career, one of my new collectors commissioned me to do a large gold scorpion pin/ pendant. The colored-pencil drawing below is what I came up with:

The black areas would have been carved ebony, inlaid with Australian opal in the center and the left claw, as well as the little stones in the tail segments. It would have had fire agate eyes, as well as turquoise, diamond and coral accents.

Well, as it turned out, the customer had in mind something more "realistic", and wanted me to use some really cheap, dull opal triplets someone had given her. I drew a new design, got approval and did all the goldsmithing by hand, but when it came time to set the stones, I just didn't have the heart to put those ugly stones in my design. I refused - hey, a fella has to draw the line somewhere to maintain his integrity! So this was a piece I had to "eat"! Luckily, I had some really stunning Mexican Opals and Fire Agates to use - the colors of the desert. The final piece was about 4 inches long - really dramatic.

The price on this piece was originally $8,000, but that was a l-o-o-o-o-ng time ago, and it has since found a home with some good friends & collectors. I've had a lot of requests over the years for one in a smaller size, but I haven't made one yet. Call me at the studio if you want me to quote you a price on the first one : (505) 296-1400, or Email me: David@StewartArt.com

Lisa Rinna to Join 'Entourage' as Guest

The original Miss Pillowlips herself, Lisa Rinna, is joining my favorite boys in a guest star role on 'Entourage' this season. Rinna will play an ex of Kevin Dillon's character, Drama.

"She gets slutty with Kevin Dillon and Jerry's characters," says a set source. "They haven't seen each other for 15 years and things get hot between them."

Love, love, LOVE 'Entourage'. I have been going crazy without my boys this year.

Blunt and Nemcova Officially Split.

James Blunt and Petra Nemcova have allowed their reps to tell us that they have officially splitup....since February.

Well that's good to know, because dorky Blunt has been seen getting cozy with Miss Firecrotch herself, Lindsay Lohan.

In recent weeks, Blunt has become a regular fixture in the Hollywood nightlife scene, hitting the town solo. He was spotted on the same night – March 21 – at both Les Deux, where he hung with pal Robbie Williams, and later at Teddy's, where he partied with Lindsay Lohan, Kelly Osbourne and Amy Winehouse.

According to a clubgoer at Teddy's, "Lindsay and James were never affectionate, but they did seem flirty, standing right next to each other, and constantly talking." Lohan and Blunt were part of a group of people who left together at 2:15 a.m.
