Yes, Britaroo is still in the loving care of UCLA’s psych team, where HIPAA-hating employees are apparently selling TMI deets about the pop-patient to TMZ, such as…

Why Britcakes should really keep her panties on (hint: we don’t call her “Shitney” Spears for nothing…)

I wonder how much TMZ paid for the hospital crew’s souls?

Holy effing moley!!

We were trying to abstain from Britney coverage for a while (didn’t you notice??) but now something has actually happened!

here’s the scoop: Brit’s finally been seeing a shrink - and not a minute too soon (a few minutes too late? Perhaps…) At about 1:30 this morning, after a week full of manic shopping sprees, a weepy depressive episode outside of her home (and all of this in the weird British accent she’s started using 24/7) her doc called the cops and had Britcakes taken away by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center where the fallen popstar is now on an involntary 5150 hold - again!!

Maybe UCLA, unlike Cedars Sinai the last time, will actually keep her the whole 72 hours! We can only hope…

In happy-ish news - the dozens of police vehicles that responded to the emergency call formed a huge barrier around Brit’s ambulance so the paparazzi weren’t able to swarm it like a pack of hungry, rabid dogs… There’s a first!

The details are still coming out about what went down last night, but, of course, theories and speculation abound: Was there another fight? A suicide attempt? Did she flush her new meds down the toilet and pitch a fit to end all fits? We don’t know, but anything’s possible with her… At least the babies weren’t around for this one.

Craaazy morning news here - we’ll try to keep you in the know as updates come out!

Did you think we’d forgotten about our mascot/spokesdog, Bosco?? Not so!

Here’s Bosco’s favorite quote of late, curtesy of the ever shirtless, ever studly star, Matthew McConaughey - and really, who else could it have come from?

Of course you will, Matthew. Of course you will… He may be packing on a few extra L-B’s for his new flick, The Gackie, but you just can’t keep a good chest down!

(For the record, Bosco will still have to get his belly rubs.)

We admit it. We watch the TMZ show. We hate ourselves for it, we realize we’re part of the problem, but we just can’t quit…

So, while bitterly watching tonight’s yawntastic episode, it was hard not to notice this disturbing trend of a cockier, entitled new breed of paparazzi, who think they’ve somehow transcended from lowly camera-wielding street varmints to honest to God journalists…

One photog asked The Hills starlet, Kristen Cavalari, something along the lines of, “How do you feel about all the reality stars getting 15 minutes of fame?” She replied, “I don’t know, I’m not one of them,” which is just funny. But as Michelle Tanner would say, how rude!

Another papa-rude-zi went up to Verne Troyer (better known as Mini Me) and started asking him all kinds of questions about his ex-wife’s mental state, essentially accusing Troyer of making the woman suicidal.

Yet a third photog flat-out asked Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical fame, “How do you like your new nose? Are you planning on getting any more plastic surgery?”

This  otherwise mind-numbingly boring footage was purchased for big money by TMZ soley because the rude questions made it “a story” (of sorts.) Once again, incredible feats of douchebaggery were rewarded with (temporary) fame and fortune. And that’s just the tip of the rudeness iceberg, truley…

TMZ (and in turn virtually every other entertainment news outlet) isn’t even about celebrities anymore - it’s about paparazzi harassing celebrities! The “paps” have been placed on a pedestal, and it’s kinda freaking us out.

We don’t offer a solution. We don’t even resolve to stop dishing celebrity gossip - but because we love Hollywood and its stars, not purely to be mean to everyone who makes more money than us (that would be exhausting!) We’re just ranting.

On a really disturbing side note - you know that horrifying old picture of the naked girl running down the road in Vietnam? That same photographer took the now-famous (or is it infamous?) picture of Paris Hilton sobbing in the back of the police car… What has the world come to??

This is bananas…

Mmm… a banana sounds soooo good right now!

In all seriousness though folks - agree with it or not, you gotta love being on the forefront, right? How revolutionary of LA!

We’re so proud…
