Britney Spears admits her marriage to Kevin Federline was a mistake.
In her new 90-minute MTV documentary, “Britney: For The Record,” the pop star talks candidly about her three-year marriage to Federline.

But that’s not all Britney had to say!

Twenty five years after I first saw The B-52s’ “Legal Tender” video on MTV, I finally caught the band live in concert. My first reaction when the band came out with their latest album, “Funplex,” in the spring of 2008 was that, “They really shouldn’t still be making music this good.”
Unlike Madonna, The B-52s have stayed small and true to their roots and their original identity.
And their show last night in LA was no exception.

Two of my favorite artists from the RCA Records group are back this fall with Greatest Hits collections, and along with their respective retrospectives, both of them are releasing new songs along with their compilations.
First up, is Sarah McLachlan, whose 16-track anthology, “Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan,” will be released on October 7.
Next up, comes Christina Aguilera’s “Keeps Gettin’ Better: A Decade of Hits,” which will be available for purchase on November 11, exclusively through Target.
Often, I’m cynical about Greatest Hits collections – especially for younger artists – I always feel like, “Come back when you have Tina Turner’s career – THEN, you can put out a Greatest Hits collection.”
These two, however, are going to be welcome additions to my library.

For as long as he can remember, Tyler Duckworth (pictured, above right) has been an Olympics fanatic.
But in his 26 years on earth, he had never attended the Games. That is, until Beijing in 2008 --- when his personal Olympic dreams finally came true.
“The Olympics mean everything to me,” Tyler shared in an interview with AccessHollywood.com on the Olympic Green. “Most of these athletes will never become millionaires. They’re out there for themselves. And that’s how I feel about my approach to life also.”
Most folks know Tyler from his time as one of the housemates on MTV’s “The Real World: Key West,” (which shot in 2005 and aired in 2006) and while he’s been recognized regularly in China, “The Real World” is an experience that he’s now put far behind him.
