In my senseless need to cover Britney Spears here on Adrants, here's another one for you. Britney is not, and I repeat, not a virgin! Is anyone actually surprised by this? She was in love with Timberlake for years. Of course they slept together. Why put on the mystique though? Was it her need for privacy? Was it her handlers telling her to keep quiet? Who really cares? Anyway, she's on the cover of W Magazine in August spilling the story.
That's one weird picture of her on that cover though.

OK, so not really but go with it.
Thanks to Gawker.

The idiotic claim by Spike Lee that TNN could not call the New TNN Spike TV was shot down yesterday by state Supreme Justice Walter Tolub.
When you think about it, this relaunch of TNN would have been a quiet, under the radar story that would have been forgotten in two days. Now, TNN/Spike TV has received more press than it ever could have hoped for thanks to Spike Lee. Mr. Lee, you can expect your check from TNN for your services in a few days.

OK, OK...so they aren't headless. That's an urban myth. But, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is suing KFC because it says KFC is misleading the public with "deceptive advertising practices" regarding the treatment of chickens.
PETA says KFC suppliers use "growth-promoting Substances" KFC denies this. Who knows what the truth is. I'm sure a chicken doesn't live in the lap of luxury but I also have to believe that KFC wouldn't want to be known as they place where you go to buy abused chickens. Then again, the cigarettes companies lied to us for years and are still lying.
