Daddy Spears has been able to control most aspects of her life for the past year, but you didn’t really think he could control the romantic inclinations of Britney “Mah Pussy Is Hangin’ Out” Spears, now did he?

Word on the street is that Brit-Brit has an extra eye in the center of her ring, if you catch my drift.

She’s rumored to be hooking up with her longtime talent agent, Jason Trawick, who’s the dude to her left in this photo.

Trawick, 37, a William Morris Agency rep, recently joined Spears for the first four shows of her Circus tour, but we have learned that the two recently have grown much closer away from the workplace.

Trawick declined to comment and referred our request to Spears rep, who has given no official comment on any extracurricular relationship. Trawick’s WMA assistant would only confirm that Trawick had been traveling with Spears on her Circus tour and is now back in L.A.

A Spears insider, meanwhile, insists that the singer and the agent strictly have a “close professional relationship” and that’s it, calling it “ridiculous” to suggest the pair is anything close to “romantic.”

But another well-placed source tells E! News that Trawick’s talent agency bosses are OK with his tight bond with his client and, in fact, “They joke about it.”

Jason’s had a role in Britney’s life forever, and rumors about them getting romantic started when the two vacationed together in Costa Rica last summer (we’ve got that photo here), and a few days later they were cuddling at Christian Audigier’s 50th birthday party at L.A.’s Petersen Automotive Museum.

Best yet, Papa Spears approves! Well, sort of. Says an insider: “Jason is one of the few people who Jamie Spears trusts.”
I think Papa Spears probably views this as the lesser of many, many, many evils.

Hello, my friends.

I didn’t get a chance to watch American Idol on Tuesday night, so I watched it tonight right before the results show, and I was generally okay with who went home, although not totally thrilled. I want Megan Corkrey GONE. That chick CANNOT SING! She just bops around the stage like a moron. She sang Red Robin for chrissake. She’s only there because she’s pretty.

Also, I know that Adam Lambert is 100% gay, but I still want to have sex with him. I’m sorry. It’s true.

Additional notes: Kanye West isn’t particularly impressive live, and I think they had to build a special stage to accommodate Kelly Clarkson’s ass. Jesus Christ that thing EXPLODED overnight. I mean, she’s always been a big girl, but it’s like, over the course of the past couple of months, every single thing she’s eaten has made base camp in her butt. It is enormous. Still. I love her. I also decided tonight that she is for sure gay. (The video of her performance is above.)

Anywho!

Find out after the jump who got eliminated, and DISCUSS!!!

Well, at least he seems to be vaguely aware that he’s in the midst of being prosecuted for domestic violence. That’s a start.

A day after Nickelodeon refused to bow to growing public pressure and remove the felonies-facing artist from its list of nominees, Brown himself has withdrawn his name from consideration for his dual slimey honors.

“Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song,” his spokesman said.

“Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated.” …

Still, despite the network’s earlier holdout, Nickelodeon now says they “agree with” Brown’s decision to pull out.

“We are confirming that Chris Brown has decided to withdraw his nominations from the Kids’ Choice Awards,” they said in a statement. “We agree with and respect his decision and are looking forward to presenting a great event for our audience.”

Brown’s announcement to withdraw his name from competition also comes in the wake of massive parental backlash against Nickelodeon, with a Twitter group launching a 3,000-signature-strong online petition to ban Brown from the kid-determined awards show.

His departure also comes in the wake of an entry posted to Brown’s MySpace blog earlier this month, urging fans to vote for him for the awards.

Um, yes. Beating your girlfriend to a pulp DOES tend to change public focus. It’s very unfortunate. It could have been less unfortunate had Chris decided to use the tools we teach in pre-kindergarten and use his words. UNFORTUNATELY, he’s too much of a loser douchebag for that.

Thoughts?

This’ll teach her to work out with the normal people!

The photogs captured this video of Vanessa Hudgens kicking some serious ass at a workout class in LA yesterday. Damn, she’s impressive with all those exercises!

Do you see the lady next to her who totally sucks compared to everything Vanessa’s doing?

That is what I look like in my exercise classes. And the instructor always has to come around and reposition me, like she’s doing with this chick. I relate to you, Un-athletic Woman Next to Vanessa Hudgens.

Paris Hilton and Douche Reinhardt spent yesterday frolicking around Maui sucking face and posing pretty for the cameras.

I’m sure this is true love.

Just like Paris’s love with Benji Madden was the real thing.

I had dinner with a friend last night, and she was like, “Okay, if you’re the publicist for Rihanna or Chris Brown, how do you go about re-introducing them as a couple? After everything that happened?”

I was like, “Ya know, you do it slowly. You send them both out in public separately, probably to a club. Show them acting normal with friends. Then you have them both release singles about nothing romantic — just poppy songs about partying and drinking and dancing. Get the public used to them again as individuals, so they can forget who they’ve become as a couple.”

And it’s beginning, with Rihanna hitting up hotspot Coco de Ville for a belated 21st birthday celebration last night.

Starting around midnight, the “Disturbia” singer was joined by friends, including Bromance bros Frankie Delgado and Taylor Mosher, on their own private patio. She blew out birthday candles atop pink cupcakes and washed down the treats with complimentary champagne.

A source tells E! News that the starlet “looked good, was smiling and laughing in good spirits upon leaving.”

She wore sunglasses as she departed the club around 4 a.m. in a red pickup truck. The source claims her caravan, including the truck, a black SUV and another car, were only followed by a few of the “35-plus paparazzi outside.”

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it’ll be before she and Chris start showing up at events together?
