Kirsten Dunst has checked into rehab, reports Star magazine online. Dunst was branded quite a while ago as “Kirsten Drunkst” by many gossip bloggers who wrote about her party habits, so I think this next step will not come as a surprise to many.

Pop singer Britney Spears was released from a psychiatric ward at the UCLA Medical Center today after nearly a week of treatment.

It was unclear where she was going, but sources said she might head to one of her homes before seeking additional treatment.

Unlike the spectacle surrounding her trip to the Westwood medical facility last week, she slipped out with relatively little fanfare. A private security detail escorted her in contrast to last week when more than a dozen Los Angeles police officers escorted Spears to the hospital via motorcade.

Film director Woody Allen fears for the well-being of Scarlett Johansson.

The director worries the New Yorkstar may be tempted to indulge in the party lifestyle - and hopes that Johansson will listen and follow a career path more like Meryl Streep.

Allen worries that Scarlett may join the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, each who have marginal careers in film.

The New York Post Page Six reports Allen saying, “(Johansson) is so beautiful and so sexy and so gifted… she can do anything, but she has to make the right choices of films and she’s got to not go the Page Six party route…I don’t want to read about her in the paper with this boyfriend or that boyfriend, or in rehab or taking pills. I don’t think she’s always made great choices. She has to take her acting seriously… the way someone like Meryl Streep did it.”

Paris Hilton, who will head over to Harvard Square today for Harvard University’s annual Harvard Lampoon roast, tells Us Weekly and Parade.com she’s gearing up for a small screen role on Showtime’s sapphic drama “The L Word.” The “Hottie and the Nottie” star says: “Once the strike is over, we are going to start talks, but I am definitly shooting it.” Asked whether the hotel heirhead will get up close and personal with one of the female stars, Hilton, 26, repsonds, “I don’t know yet.” Set your TiVo!

The combination of prescription drugs that Britney Spears’ mother claims were ground up in the singer’s food was a risky mix that could cause hysterical outbursts, agitation, creepy hallucinations, even a stroke, medical experts told ABCNEWS.com.

“Grinding up medications without medical direction — that’s dangerous,” said Dr. Joshua Prager, director of the Center for the Rehabilitation of Pain Syndromes (CRPS) at UCLA Medical Plaza. “Drugs have very different ways of getting into the bloodstream when you crush them up. Nobody should be messing with drugs without a physician’s supervision.”

In court documents requesting that the singer’s self-described manager Sam Lutfi be ordered out of Spears’ house, Lynne Spears said Lutfi was slipping ground-up pills in her daughter’s food to keep her quiet and at one point Lutfi told Lynne Spears that Britney had to take “10 pills a day.”
