DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - WEDNESDAY, MAY 2


*Britney is back! Britney launched her on-stage comeback last night at the House of Blues in San Diego, her first public performance in nearly 3 years. Britney lip-synched 5 songs with the set lasting about 16 minutes. Fans paid $125 for that?? Well, at least Britney seems to be on the right track. She's back in shape and working on her career.

*Former NJ Governor Jim McGreevey's estranged wife Dina appeared yesterday on Oprah's show to promote her new book "Silent Partner: A Memoir of My Marriage" which is now in stores. She painted Jim as a self-absorbed con artist and actor who married for political gain. She insisted that she didn't know he was gay and said the wife is always the last to know.

*Alec Baldwin has turned to Dr. Phil for help following his voicemail rant to his 11-year-old daughter. The two have been in contact recently and Dr. Phil said he would like to meet with both Alec and Kim Basinger for ex-couple counseling (yeah, right, Kim will agree to that...) Alec and Kim will be in court Friday for a custody hearing.

*2 contestants will go home tonight on the American Idol results show. A shocker last night--Blake's new hair color! It took me a little while to get used to his black hair. Simon was so happy with Lakisha's performance that he kissed her on the lips! Paula only wishes Simon would kiss her like that! Ryan Seacrest announced last night that the Idol Gives Back fundraiser took in $70 million for needy kids. By the way, the Top 10 Idol finalists will kick off a tour in July and they'll be at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on September 9--get your Sanjaya fix!

*Where in the world are Larry Birkhead and baby Dannielynn? In Kentucky. They left the Bahamas on a private jet yesterday and landed in Kentucky, where they will spend a few weeks with family. How cute is Dannielynn? ADORABLE!

*Roseanne Barr has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Rosie O'Donnell on The View, but does Roseanne want the job? Yes, she does. Roseanne said she'd jump at the opportunity to take over Rosie's spot and would "stir up some real good controversy." I'll bet she would!

*Listen for Diane's Celebrity Dirt weekday mornings at 6:30, 7:30 & 8:30 on 95.1 WAYV
