Ms. Informed

Britney Spears is making her way back into mainstream media, but not via the music industry.  Rather, the pop princess will guest star on CBS’s sitcom How I Met Your Mother.  It is not yet confirmed if it will be a one-time appearance or an ongoing role.

If nothing else, it’s gotta beat Britney & Kevin: Chaos.  Although I still don’t think I’ll be tuning in for it, even for Doogie Houser’s sake.

Little Miss Sunshine Rihanna has helped a lawyer from New York City with leukemkia find a bone marrow donor, People reports.  The singer campaigned to find a suitable donor for Lisa Gershowitz-Flynn, 41, and with the help of the celebrity magazine, over 5,000 readers contacted DKMS, the world’s leading bone marrow donor center, to become potential donors.  Additionally, DKMS recruited and registered nearly 2,000 new donors, just from phone calls and emails from Rihanna’s call for help.

“My life will be saved because of you, my family and friends (old and new),” Flynn writes. “My children (Michael, 5, and Alexandra, 3) will have their mother, my husband will have his wife, and my parents will have their daughter.”

His LIFE in PICTURES?? Isn’t that what you do AFTER someone passes away? Not when news first breaks of their diagnosis???? News outlets did the same thing with Britney during her stint in the psych ward!! Have some hope people!! Our prayers are with you Patrick!!!

According to Life & Style Magazine, the Cruise Clan — including Tom’s adopted children with Nicole Kidman, Isabella and Connor — has been temporarily living in an apartment at the Scientology Celebrity Center in L.A. Their current Beverly Hills quarters are being rennovated to include a dining room that seats 20 and a home theatre that accommodates 50. Guess they have to be ready when it’s their turn to host those super fun Scientology pajama parties!

Can’t they just stay at in a hotel like normal people? Oh wait, that’s right…

While his publicist confirmed reports that Patrick Swayze does have pancreatic cancer, his doctors believe he has may have more time than originally thought. The National Enquirer (so close to getting the whole thing right…so close, yet so, so far) reported the star had 5 weeks left to live in light of his cancer, but Swayze’s physician, George Fisher, is far more optimistic than original reports suggested.

“Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far,” Swayze’s physician, said in the statement. “All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.”

Our prayers are with you!

Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, who was named co-conservator of the estate after the pop star’s mental meltdown last month, is still in charge of his daughter’s finances. An L.A. County Superior Court judge extended his temporary authority for another five months. Jamie Spears will remain in charge of Britney’s estate until July 31.

…and this is as exciting as it gets in all things Spears. Maybe this is a sign she’s straightening herself out and getting her life back on track. Here’s hoping!

Clinton’s campaign has new life. Clinton back on track. Clinton has big night. All jibberish.

The truth is that she won states she was supposed to win by huge margins yesterday. Great job by the Clinton camp. You managed to hang on and now will try to spin it as another Clinton comeback. In the words of Britney, no for real, are you kidding me? (No wonder there’s panic in the industry, I mean, please.)

She was supposed to erase Obama’s lead in delegates. That didn’t happen. In fact, when all the delegates are distributed, Obama will have approximately the same lead in delegates he had before the three primaries and one hybrid primary-caucus yesterday. How is that a victory? Mathematically, it is almost impossible for Clinton to make up the gap in delegates even if she drags this thing out until the convention.

Obama probably won’t even win Pennsylvania, but will still retain his sizable lead in delegates. He will win some in May and June, and Clinton will pick up some as well, but in the end, Obama will finish with more delegates.

How can Clinton then justify her nomination? Well, she will claim she won the big states. Great! One thing, you need 270 electoral votes to win the presidency, and that will be much harder for her to accomplish against McCain than it will be for Obama. Take a look at the swing states. She loses them all to McCain.

Senator Clinton, you can drag this out until the convention or you can can put your ego aside and do what’s best for the party and the country and unite behind Obama. It’s your choice. Do you really want to be the reason the country you love so much has to suffer another 8 years of the same failed Bush policies? I can guarantee you that is exactly what a McCain administration will be.
