She kicked off her two-year Las Vegas residency on Friday night (December 27) and unfortunately Britney Spears is once again the target of lip-syncing accusations.
The “Oops I Did It Again” songstress sold out the Axis Theater, but a number of fans were less-than-impressed that she allegedly didn’t sing the whole set live.
A critic from the Los Angeles Times wrote, “The singer appeared to be lip-syncing for the majority of her performance. That went for high-energy dance numbers such as ‘Womanizer’ as well as slower-paced ballads like ‘Perfume,’ for which Spears took a seat onstage.”
Additionally, one attendee tweeted, “I just watched Britney’s show & her lip sync was off by like 5 secs :(”
And an insider leaked that there’s panic over whether or not Spears’ $15 million/year gig will be worth it. “What everyone here is worried about is, once fans wake up to the fact they are being cheated,...

"That's what I heard," says Eve. "But, you know, I don't know. It could be Britney. But I heard it wasn't. I don't know."
Eve, who is getting ready to drop her first album in 11 years, might have tried to play coy, but Spears' publicist didn't mince words when he snapped back at the rap star.

Los Angeles — Britney Spears said Friday she has made the "difficult decision" to leave Fox's "The X Factor" after one season.
In a statement, the pop singer said she had an incredible time working on the singing contest but that it was time to get back into the studio to record.
It was widely reported Thursday that Spears and "X Factor" were parting ways after a season in which the show's ratings fell and Spears received lackluster reviews as a panelist. Fellow panelist Antonio "L.A." Reid previously announced he was leaving, giving creator-executive producer Simon Cowell two spots to fill.
Fox has been informed of Spears' decision, her publicist, Jeff Raymond said Friday. Fox spokeswoman Gaude Paez confirmed that Spears is leaving the show and said the network had no further statement.

Is Chris Brown putting his love for Rihanna in permanent ink? The Graffiti singer is raising eyebrows after being snapped recently sporting a tattoo on his neck of what some say looks like the battered and bruised face of his ex-girlfriend.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell will not face punishment for allegedly assaulting her chauffeur on Tuesday, March 2 - the driver has refused to press criminal charges. The British beauty was wanted for questioning by New York police after allegedly punching Miodrag Mejdina, the driver of a luxury SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle), leaving him with "bumps and bruises" following a confrontation in midtown Manhattan.
27-year-old Mejdrina contacted authorities after Campbell reportedly fled the scene of the alleged scuffle. In a statement released on Tuesday, March 2, Campbell's publicist, Jeff Raymond, insisted the star "will cooperate voluntarily" with cops, adding, "There shouldn't be a rush to judgment.

Naomi Campbell is constantly on the attack — but why is it always her employees who on the receiving end of her fury?
Would you ever work for BlackBerry hurling, driver slapping model Naomi Campbell? Considering her long history of anger management issues and a rap sheet full of physical assault charges against her employees, we hope most of you would say No!
On Mar. 2, Naomi attacked her limo driver, Miodrag Mejdina, and then fled the scene. And it surely wasn’t the the first time she’s unleashed her anger on the help. In 2007, the supermodel plead guilty for assaulting her housekeeper. And in 2005 she allegedly slapped her assistant, Amanda Brack, and beat her with a Blackberry. What gives?
Expert Psychologist Dr. Jeff Gardere tells HollywoodLife.com, ”The reason Naomi attacks her own workers is because she sees them as property. She feels as though she is above them...

Lock up your kids, Naomi Campbell is on the loose. The temperamental (read: insane) supermodel is wanted by police after allegedly attacking her limo driver. Is there something harsher than anger management that this woman can be sentenced to? Supermodel charm school? Riker's Island, where she could keep Lil Wayne company? (If he ever gets sentenced.) Naomi's rep Jeff Raymond released a statement saying, "Naomi will cooperate voluntarily, and there is more to the story than meets the eye." We highly doubt it. Just like there wasn't "more to the story than meets the eye" when Naomi Campbell threw her jewel-encrusted phone at her maid becau ...

But the chauffeur has now decided against pursuing his complaint and will not be pressing charges against Campbell.
Police are continuing their investigation into the incident and filed a harassment report on Wednesday after consulting with the district attorney's office, according to the Associated Press. However, the harassment claim carries no penalty and Campbell is not expected to be arrested.
It's not the first time Campbell has been accused of losing her temper - in 2008 she was handed a 200-hour community service sentence as punishment for assaulting two police officers onboard a British Airways flight at London's Heathrow Airport. The year before, Campbell pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless assault against her former housekeeper.

Oh no, she didn’t! Is Naomi Still having problems with anger management?
Another day, another accusation against leggy catwalk queen Naomi Campbell! Just what set off the British beauty this time?
The British supermodel reportedly took out some serious internal anger against her limo driver earlier today, March 2, reports the NY Post. The chauffeur called 911, claiming that Naomi, 39, caused his bumps and bruises and then fled the scene of the crime in Midtown Manhattan. (Side note: was she wearing heels? We see holes in this story already!)
We do know that Naomi has had pretty severe anger management issues in the past, though. She’s pled guilty for multiple assault charges in the past (who can forget the jewel-encrusted mobile phone she threw at her housekeeper in 2006?) and seems to scare off potential employees by the droves. But who could blame them when she keeps beating her staffers with inanimate objects?...
