Almost exactly a year after getting engaged to have their likenesses marizpanned and planted into the top of a wedding cake, Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have decided not to do that anymore. Though the split is reportedly amicable, there is still the sticky matter of Trawick being Spears's co-conservator, a post that he will most likely be removed from by the end of the day. It's also interesting to note that Spears has switched agencies (to CAA), which tells TMZ that her romantical/business partnership with Trawick is no longer a necessary legal entanglement. [TMZ]
Brian Williams visits the set of Girls so often to watch his daughter Allison pretend to have sex (or not) with diminutive New York artists that Lena Dunham joked about having a camera set up to catch all of Papa Bear Williams's squeamish paternal reactions: "We always make jokes about how when there's a sex scene with Allison we want to have like a BriWi-cam, like just like a camera on his face where we can register it all."

TMZ found an audio clip of Lindsay Lohan telling Canyons co-star James Deen, "Do your fucking job!" like a bossypants. Deen, meanwhile, says that Lindz only became so irate with him because he gave her a flip answer about why he took a starring role in The Canyons:
Hours before the rant she asked why I was doing this movie and I said 'For fun.' I meant for personal experience and enjoyment of working on a Bret Easton Ellis movie. I don't think she understood my intention behind saying 'for fun' and thought it meant that I wasn't going to try.
James Deen will, like, try or whatever, but he probably won't try that hard because acting is easy. U mad, Lindsay???? [TMZ]
So now that it's just Britney, are you ready for the Britney Spears Experience to hit Las Vegas? Well, you better get ready because a wild rumor has been greased up and set loose on the internet that one of the Caesars properties is trying to woo Britney to put on a "Celine-type show," which will then run for eternity. I know what you're thinking: not even Britney's show can run for fucking eternity. Then again, good authors, too, who once knew better words now only use four-letter words writing prose, so I guess anything goes. [TMZ]
Evan Rachel Wood and Jamie Bell will be having a baby. Well, Evan Rachel Wood will be having the baby while Jamie Bell watches, but still, the baby's conception was probably a team effort and you can't spell "team" with an "e" AND an "a," which are two of the key vowels in "penis" and "vagina," respectively.
