Britney Spears
A former part-time nanny for Britney Spears, Fernando Flores has contacted the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. Flores is making claims that Britney abused her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James claiming Britney whipped one of her sons with a belt. He is also claiming that Britney fed the children food that they were allergic to which in turn made them very ill. The timing of his claims is very suspicious as he was just let go from the job a month ago. Sources close to Britney say that there are always bodyguards and nannies around and that Britney is never alone with the children. They believe Britney is just the target of a man upset by his job loss. Children Services investigated the claim as they are required to and believe it has no merit.

Lee DeWyze
The shy guy who worked at the paint store won over America and became the ninth season winner of American Idol. At the beginning of the season DeWyze was real fidgety and reserved and when he sang he almost seemed slightly embarassed at the end of his performances. He beat out Crystal Bowersox who was favored to win for most of the season. Critics are saying that Crystal far out sang Lee throughout the competition and on Tuesday night. The ninth season also seemed a bit like a season finale because it was judge Simon Cowell’s last night on the show. He is moving on to become an executive producer and will appear on a new singing competition, “The X Factor,” also on Fox. Congrats to Lee DeWyze! I am sure that Crystal Bowersox will go on to become very successful as well.

She came under intense pressure when John Rich from country music duo Big and Rich asked her if she was gay. He said point blank ‘You’re not gay. If you are, people won’t have it. It’s sick, it’s deviant, it’s unacceptable to country-music fans.’ And he said, ‘You’re not, are you?’ At that point she lied and realized that she had gone from just not speaking about it to a liar.
