Britney Spears - Pussycat Dolls Shelve Spears Promo Cameo

BRITNEY SPEARS' pop comeback has been dealt a blow by the PUSSYCAT DOLLS - her cameo in the group's new promo for WHEN I GROW UP has been axed from the final edit.

The Toxic hitmaker has filmed a clip for the Pussycat Dolls' music video in which she returns to her natural blonde locks.

Spears filmed the segment in a car in Los Angeles last week (ends06Jun08), and a source tells Usmagazine.com of her appearance: "They all wave at each other as they are passing in traffic - that is it. Of course, Britney looks hot and blonde.

"It is a very short sequence, but (Spears) had a lot of fun with it. Britney really likes the Dolls' music and when she saw them on the MTV (Movie Awards), she was totally down to do the video."

But the cameo has now been shelved for good for reasons as yet unknown, reports MTV.com.

Representatives for both parties were unavailable for comment as WENN went to press.

Berlin mayor concerned at Madame Tussauds' plan to feature Hitler

BERLIN - Berlin's mayor has expressed concern at Madame Tussauds' plans to include Adolf Hitler among prominent Germans who will be immortalized in wax at its new museum, his spokesman said Monday.

Klaus Wowereit has written a letter to the wax museum's curators urging them to consider carefully whether to include the Nazi dictator and, if they still do, to be careful how they present him, spokesman Guenter Kolodziej said Monday.

"In the mayor's view, he should not be shown as a cult figure," Kolodziej said.

Madame Tussauds' Berlin museum is scheduled to open on July 9. It will be located on the Unter den Linden boulevard, close to the German capital's landmark Brandenburg Gate.

Spokeswoman Katrin Srumsdorf said the museum planned to send Wowereit an official response Tuesday.

She stressed that curators recognize the need to treat Hitler with sensitivity. Unlike in London, where he stands along with major world leaders, Hitler's likeness in Berlin will be hunched over a desk in a dimly lit bunker, she added.

"He will appear as an old, broken man, as he might have looked in the days just before he committed suicide," Srumsdorf said.

The Hitler statue will be the only one on display behind glass, which means visitors won't be able to have their pictures taken with it, and the exhibit will be constantly monitored by video cameras.

Madame Tussauds Berlin will feature many prominent Germans, including former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, current Chancellor Angela Merkel and scientist Albert Einstein - who left Germany shortly before Hitler took power in 1933, never to return.

The display also will feature Britain's prime minister during World War II, Winston Churchill.

Kolodziej noted that it is illegal in Germany to use Nazi symbols as propaganda, but that Hitler's likeness alone is not illegal.

Miley Cyrus doesn’t want to end up like other child stars

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus says she’s determined not to fall victim to the trappings of celebrity in the way other child stars like Britney Spears have.
“I definitely try to steer away from it as much as I can, but it’s all around me,” she says in an interview with Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper. “I think it’s more of a personal battle really.
“You have to know what you feel and what’s in your heart.
“But I’m more of a positive person. I’ve always wanted to be a positive role model and that’s what I want to continue to be.”

Ashlee Simpson-Pete Wentz Marriage Confirmed

AshleeE Simpson and Pete Wentz exchanged vows in an intimate wedding ceremony yesterday evening, their spokesperson has confirmed.
The top-secret event was held at Simpson's parents' home in Encino, California and was attended by 150 guests, including Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, actor Donald Faison and the pop star's big sister Jessica, who served as maid of honour.
Jessica's boyfriend, American footballer Tony Romo, was also present at the ceremony, despite reports the couple has split.
Ashlee wore an ivory lace Monique Lhuillier gown, complete with a diamond necklace and earrings by Neil Lane.
Father of the bride Joe Simpson, a former Baptist minister, performed the non-denominational service, and Fall Out Boy bassist Wentz's English bulldog, Hemingway, was the ring-bearer, reports People.com.
Confirming the reports on Saturday night, the couple's representative says, "We're delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends."
The newlyweds celebrated their new status as husband and wife with an Alice in Wonderland-themed reception, with black beauty roses by Mark's Garden decorating each table.
The wedding cake, by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings, featured a top hat, a tea pot, a stop watch and a pot of flowers on top.
The marriage comes amid rumours Ashlee is pregnant with the couple's first child.
Both stars have repeatedly dodged questions surrounding the alleged pregnancy, refusing to confirm or deny the reports.
