UNDER FIRE: First Miss California Carrie Prejean gets lambasted for expressing her views on same-sex marriage. Now she's being criticized -- and her Christian values are being questioned -- for some racy pictures that have turned up. She's not backing down and we kind of like her spunk even though we don't agree with her on the same-sex marriage issue. (RL)
WHAT BRITNEY WANTS: Chick-lit novels? Check. Flowers? Check. A bunch of magazines? Check. Marilyn Monroe movies? Oh, yeah. Those are just a few of Britney Spears' requests for her London hotel room where she'll be holing up for her tour next month. (RL)
