Timberlake Won't Hide His "Dick"

Justin Timberlake doesn’t want to cover up his “Dick” at the Emmys. As I first reported, Timberlake and Andy Samberg are said to be in talks to perform their Saturday Night Live skit “Dick in a Box” at the Primetime Emmys Sept. 16. A source reports that things may have hit a snag because the show's producers have apparently asked Timberlake and Samberg to change the words of the racy ditty to make it more family friendly. The ceremony airs on Fox at 8 p.m.
I’m told the singer and the actor have balked at the request.
When the holiday-themed skit debuted on SNL in December, the word “dick” was bleeped out 16 times. The skit features Timberlake and Samberg bearing gifts attached to their man parts while crooning to their ladies. The funny thing is that if the Emmys performance were to occur, it's possible Timberlake and Samberg could have already been named winners by that time, since “Dick in a Box” is nominated for Original Music and Lyrics. It goes up against Family Guy’s “My Drunken Irish Dad,” MADtv’s “Merry Ex-Mas” and double-nominee Scrubs for “Guy Love” and “Everything Comes Down to Poo.”
The Original Music and Lyrics award will be bestowed Sept. 8 at the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, a week before the Primetime Emmys.
Reps for Timberlake, Samberg, Saturday Night Live, Fox and the Emmys did not comment.

Britney vs. Timbaland:

Britney Spears wants her MTV Video Music Awards. But does the music impresario orchestrating the night’s performances want Britney Spears?
A well-placed source tells me that execs at the music network are still negotiating with Spears to open the extravaganza, but the show’s musical director, über-producer Timbaland, would rather she stay home.
“He doesn’t want her on the show,” my source says. “Too much drama, and he thinks she is going to take away from the other good performers.”
Reps for MTV, Timbaland and Spears did not comment.
Not only is Timbaland himself performing at the Sept. 9 show in Las Vegas, but the lineup also includes Rihanna, Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Chris Brown, Foo Fighters, Lil' Wayne, T-Pain, Cee-Lo and Daniel Merriweather.
While Timbaland’s good pal
Justin Timberlake hasn’t been officially announced, I hear he’ll also perform. Timberlake and Beyoncé lead the nominations with seven apiece. (He's also in talks to perform "Dick in a Box" with Andy Samberg at the Emmys.)
What about those rumors that Timberlake and
Madonna will team up for the VMAs? My source says that, as of today, there are no such plans.

Ex-'Idol' Finalist In Rehab

Tampa resident and former 'American Idol' top-10 finalist Jessica Sierra is in rehab - and doing it California-style.At a court hearing Wednesday morning, Sierra's attorney said she was seeking help at a California establishment but declined to say where. About 5 p.m., VH-1 spokesman Scott Acord said the singer will be one of the stars of a new reality TV show called 'Celebrity Rehab.'
Although VH-1 has not disclosed all of the stars, Internet bloggers have mentioned names such as former female pro-wrestler Chyna, embattled movie star Tom Sizemore and TV nerd Andy Dick.

No broadcast date was given.
Sierra's prosecution on charges of felony battery and possession of cocaine has been postponed for a month or two while she completes treatment.
'I don't want to get into the precise issues, but it is very helpful to her,' her attorney John Fitzgibbons said after the hearing Wednesday. 'From all accounts, she is doing very well.'
Fitzgibbons declined to say what type of treatment Sierra is receiving but did say that the program handles rehabilitation for dependency on drugs and alcohol.
Circuit Judge Greg Holder told The Tampa Tribune that he could not discuss an ongoing case and would not comment on the show or Sierra's treatment.
Bar Patron Files Lawsuit
The 21-year-old singer has pleaded not guilty to a felony battery charge stemming from an arrest April 29 at Hyde Park Cafe. Bar patron Wisam Hadad said Sierra threw a glass at him. Police reports stay he had a 3/4 -inch gash over his right eyebrow. Hadad told reporters he assumed Sierra thought he was someone else.
Sierra told police that Hadad spat on her but later clarified that she could not be sure it was Hadad. Hadad filed a lawsuit against the nightclub and Sierra. The lawsuit is pending.
When police booked Sierra into jail, her legal problems worsened. Police said she had 0.8 grams of cocaine in her purse and added charges of cocaine possession and introduction of contraband into a detention facility.
She is out of jail on $11,500 bail pending trial.
Fitzgibbons said he hopes prosecutors and the judge take Sierra's treatment into account as her case progresses.

Struggles In Public Eye
Sierra rose to fame two years ago as a finalist on Fox's hit reality show, where talent scouts rate wanna-be singing stars.
After Sierra's initial success, her career slowed and she hit several roadblocks. Last year, she dealt with a 59-year-old stalker who flew to Tampa from California because he thought she would marry him.
After the battery and cocaine charges were filed, she and a rental-car company had a rather public disagreement. Apple Rental Cars on Nebraska Avenue filed a complaint that said Sierra owed money on a rented 2004 Kia Optima after she kept it past the contract date. When the car was returned, managers of the rental shop said, it was filthy and the floor mats were missing.
Fitzgibbons said Wednesday that Sierra has paid the company $738.40 and the matter has been dropped.

Britney Going Doggy Style Again

Britney Spears Out Of The Doghouse Over Pup's Broken Leg
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals confirms to Access Hollywood they have dropped their investigation into Brit and her reportedly injured pup.
The SPCA has announced it was looking into reports Britney's dog had suffered a broken leg.
Spears' camp put the pooch patrol in touch with the singer's vet, who confirmed the dog had been properly treated for a mild fracture to one of its legs. Apparently, someone accidentally stepped on the dog when it made its way into one of Brit's closets.
Last week, the SPCA said they received complaints from people who had witnessed the condition of the dog. However, the reports seem to differ, with some saying the dog had broken its leg and wasn't being treated while others said the pup's leg was in a cast.

On Friday of last week, the SPCA sent a representative to Brit's house, but only a housekeeper was home, and since they did not have a warrant, they could not actually go inside and see the dog.
The rep asked that Britney contact the SPCA.
Meanwhile, Access Hollywood learned attorneys for Britney and Kevin Federline squared off in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday morning.
A source tells Access that lawyer Dennis Wasser (the father of Brit's attorney Laura Wasser, who was unable to be there) requested a continuance in the heated custody battle with K-Fed.
The next hearing had been scheduled for September 17. No word yet if the continuance has been granted.
Over the weekend, Britney was pulled over for speeding by Highway Patrol in Los Angeles. However, after a brief conversation, she was let off with just a warning after reporetedly telling officers she was speeding because she was being chased by the paparazzi.
