SHE'S SO DOWN TO EARTH
We've been irritated with Britney Murphy for quite a while. True she is a decent actress, but her emaciated body, bizarre demeanor, and spontaneous red carpet mugging does not really help her cause. Every article we read about her says something to the effect of "she's so sweet, what a doll". Well, we have reports that beg to differ. According to the NY Post, Britney's publicist has recently ditched her and was quoted as saying "she's such a tramp and impossible to deal with." True the two have parted ways, but the publicist claims that she never said that scathing statement. The split was said to be "amicable" but the reason behind it was that they had differing opinions of what constitured publicity (i.e. sucking face with current beau Ashton Kutcher in public). We are genuinely worried, now we will be forced to see even more of this highly public posing.

MAKEOVER MADNESS
Alright, so it's not a massive change, but it's at least a step in the right direction. For all of you FFP followers, you know that we are slightly obsessed with tacky Tara- her nasty fashion sense, her kohl-rimmed eyes, her low slung pants. However, we have been noticing that there have been baby steps taken towards looking, dare we say, classier??? In this photo, Tara has copped a semi-chic "downtown" look complete with natural dyed locks. This is a vast improvement from her feathered, bleached-blond-bunny days. Also, you must go and check out the January issue of Allure, there is a spread featuring Tara that makes her look like a 50's starlet- tres fabuloso! Go to your nearest newsstand and take a gander! Tara may be turing a corner....

LIZZIE UPDATE:THE PR PRINCESS IS BACK!
This laughing fool is none other than Lizzie Grubman's ex-boyfriend and club impressario, Andrew Sasson. He testified against the delinquent Grubman after she mowed down 16 people outside of a Hamptons nightclub during the Summer of 2001. Needless to say, the twosome are no longer tight. When everyone was bashing L.G. and making fun of her fake tears Andrew looked like a savior, bringing one of NYC's spoiled celebutantes down.
Well, it looks like Andrew is not exactly laughing anymore. At Lizzie's overly-appropriate "I Just Got Out of the Slammer" party, she thanked all of the attendees for their undying support during her rough time. However, when she saw the uninvited Sasson coming her way to allegedly apologize, she snubbed him. Eh, we don't blame her, this dude did make her go without a month of Power Yoga and highlights while in the Suffolk County Jail.
On a side note, we would like to offer some social(ite) commentary on the fickle nature of this group. It was only a few months ago that everyone was chastising and steering clear of Lizzie, now it seems like her old crew is back on her side. It's amazing what a little spread of 40 pounds of Osetra golden imperial caviar, risotto primavera, veal shank and 200 liters of Veuve Clicquot can do to a group of people. Apparently, it can turn the nay-sayers into the most supportive of scenesters. Well, there you have it, Lizzie Grubman back in the game, spinning her bad PR into a party full of drunken revelers.
