Britney Spears actually got behind the wheel of a vehicle this weekend -- at the Dromo 1 go-kart center in Orange, Calif.

No photogs were harmed, no hit-and-runs were reported and no new tickets were given for driving without a license.

Not back together, you say?
For the second time in about a week, the paps spotted Jimmy Kimmel out with his ex, Sarah Silverman. The two say they're "just friends" -- but do friends put their hand where Jimmy's looks like it is?
We thinks not.

What's more shocking -- our photog asking Joey McIntyre which New Kid "farts the most" or the fact the guy actually had an answer? And in case you were wondering, the NKOTB ripper really puts the "D" in silent but deadly.

It's not who wants to fight Michael Lohan -- it's who doesn't want to fight Michael Lohan.
Well, now's your chance. Seems Papa Lohan is stepping into the ring for charity and the winning bidder gets to act out Lindsay Lohan's greatest fantasy.
Bids start at $5,000 and the fight is scheduled to go down on November 24 at the Hilton Long Island in Melville.
Might be a good opportunity for a disgraced MMA fighter to rebuild their career ... right Kimbo?

There is something a judge should remove from Sharon Stone's custody -- her ridiculously awful leopard print pants from Jungle Gap.
The 50-year-old mother of three roamed the wilds of the 90210 on Sunday.
Her cubs were no where in sight.

LeAnn Rimes and her hubby see Jessica Simpson as a double threat -- and it has nothing to do with her singing.

"Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else, it's, you drive past, you know you have to do something about it. You know you are the only one who can really help. That's what drives me." -- Tom Cruise
Tom is driven to help a suppressive person -- in the form of a fallen photog -- who almost ate curb on the streets of Manhattan.
Who's maniacally laughing now?

Porn star Lisa Ann -- who is playing the role of Sarah Palin in Hustler's upcoming "Nailin' Paylin" -- is conducting extensive research so she can nail the role. Unlike Palin, she's more forthcoming and direct in answering a slew of questions posed by a "reporter" -- aka, our dude in New Jersey.

Think Sarah Palin wants a chance to get back at Tina Fey for her amazing "SNL" takedowns? You betcha.
Palin is more than winking at the possibility of appearing on "Saturday Night LIve" to skewer the comedienne. The Chicago Sun-Times hears a "tweak" of Fey's American Express commercials is in the works, and may appear on a "Weekend Update" prime time special.
Some McCain staffers want Palin to leave well enough alone, joking about it on the campaign trail – others think a "return punch" is well warranted.
Ali Lohan -- Toxic to Music Man

There's a polite disavowal of any involvement with someone – and then there's what Johnny Wright did to Ali Lohan.
Johnny Wright -- the guy who helped make JT and the Jonases famous -- was rumored to be helping AliLo with her "music career" (our quotation marks). Well, he tells the New York Post, he "has never met," "has never been introduced" and "has never had any intention of speaking" with Ali about her music.
Dina said she'd be interested in a meeting with Wright. Guess that's not happening.
Miley's Family Needs New Material

Miley Cyrus had her big not-quite-16th birthday party yesterday, and sounds like she wasn't going to let a lil' thing called midnight get in her way.
People reports the Mousekestar was still "raring to go" around midnight, saying it had been a "long night" but she was still ready "to party and ride some rides." Just like most not-quite-16-year-olds, the party started with pals like Tyra Banks, David Archuleta and Demi Lovato walking down a red carpet.
And, yes, she and her dad played "Achy Breaky Heart."

Did he? Could he possibly? Would he ever?

The NY Post hypothesizes that Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for VP, had a little work done in the eye area. They talked to a top plastic surgeon in Manhattan who said he would bet his next paycheck on it, surmising he had some work done around the eyes.
Whaddaya think?

In case you lose count of how many kids there are in the Brangelina brood, just peep Angie's left arm.
Angelina showed up for her new movie last night with a new accessory -- a tattoo. Well, two tattoos, to be exact, and they ain't even that new.
See, Ang tattoos the latitude and longitude of the birthplace of each of her children on her left arm. So now she's got two new lines to symbolize the births of Knox and Vivienne.
At the rate she's going, she's going to run out of skin.

Al Pacino may be a vicious killer on screen, but in real life he fiercely protects the rodents, much to the dismay of Beverly D'Angelo.
Our spies served up a classic for us yesterday. Location: PETCO, West Hollywood. Event: Hamster Race. Participants: Five hamsters, as well as the Pacino/D'Angelo twins.
A crowd watched breathlessly as the hamsters were each placed on a plastic track. The critters were somewhat disoriented as the crowd cheered them on. This began to alarm Pacino, who worried out loud the hamsters "are gonna have a heart attack." D'Angelo fired back, "Relax, they're just hamsters!" Now we know why it didn't work out -- they even bicker during hamster races.
In the end, the twins finished second and third. There were whispers that the winner could have been a ringer, because the little girl brought her rodent to PETCO in what looked like a professional pink and green striped carrying case.
Catch Pacino in his latest release, "Scent of a Hamster."

We know this doesn't make up for 100 years of suffering, but here's a photo of Kendra Wilksinson judging a bikini contest to help you feel better after yet another crushing defeat.

The Cubs were swept out of the playoffs last night by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
