Britney Spears: Hotel Obsession

Jan 21, 2010 by BabySwags

After traveling the globe for months, most people would be thrilled to sleep in their own bed. But Britney Spears, who recently wrapped her Circus tour, has been ditching her LA home for the swanky Mondrian hotel. “She said she misses the environment of a busy hotel when she stops touring,” an insider tells Life & Style, noting that Brit has been constantly spotted in the hotel in the past two months. “She seems to love having people around her. She’s friendly and interested in everybody — she started talking to one guest and even jokingly offered to sing at the woman’s wedding!”

One perk of hotel living: the Mondrian’s Agua Spa and fitness center, where the pop star has been logging some serious time. “She ran on the treadmill for about an hour and did sit-ups for about 15 minutes straight,” celebrity publicist Todd Shapiro, who spotted Brit in the gym on Jan. 5, tells Life & Style. Another insider reveals that Brit has been able to mix some fun into her workouts. “She’s obsessed with Family Guy and was doing Stewie impressions in the gym,” says the insider. “She even ordered chicken wings to be delivered to the gym, which raised eyebrows. She asked to replace the buffalo sauce with sweet chili.”

First, can you blame her?
Tiger Woods’ beleaguered wife, Elin Nordegren, is planning on running away to her Swedish homeland for good — and she wants to take the disgraced golfer’s two kids with her. While Tiger, 34, is reportedly at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Miss., Elin, 30, has been plotting her escape from the Florida home she has been sharing with her husband since their 2004 wedding. “She’s reminded daily of the havoc he’s wreaked on her and her kids’ lives, which is why she’s planning on staying in Sweden full-time. She wants to be near her family,” explains an insider. “Tiger has tried to reach her,” says an insider. “But Elin won’t take his calls.”

Real Housewife Tamra: “I never cheated on my husband”

Jan 21, 2010 by BabySwags

When Tamra Barney’s husband, Simon, filed for divorce on Jan. 7, no one was more surprised than the Real Housewives of Orange County star herself. But that wasn’t the harshest blow: In the divorce papers, Simon accused his wife of 11 years of committing “acts of disloyalty and infidelity.” A saddened Tamra sat down with Life & Style’s on Jan. 14 to share her side of the story — and set the record straight about whether she cheated — in her first print interview since news of the split broke.

“I have never been unfaithful,” Tamra tells Life & Style. Does she have any idea whom Simon thinks she may have cheated with? “A couple of years ago, a boyfriend I dated for five or six years before meeting Simon called me,” Tamra says. “We just talked,” she stresses. But Simon looked through her call log and went ballistic after finding the ex’s name. “That happened two or three years ago,” she says. “But I think it marked the beginning of the demise of our marriage.”

Since then, viewers have watched as the marriage has slowly unraveled. Tamra’s biggest decision, however, happened off-camera. “We got into a huge argument on New Year’s Eve,” she explains. “We were out at a club and started fighting, and I just hit a wall. I couldn’t do it anymore. I needed to make a change.” A few days later, she moved into a two-bedroom apartment with the couple’s three children. Even then, Tamra still held out hope she and Simon might reconcile. “I thought we were having a trial separation,” she tells Life & Style. “I thought he agreed with me — then I get hit with divorce papers.”
