Britney Spears: Flesh Petal-er

FLOWER POWER Spears

• Oh, c'mon: Don't act like you've never posed half nude for a friend in your backyard holding freshly picked posies over your nipples.

• Money, cash, hos: Don Imus is trying to salvage $40 million from his CBS contract with the help a First Amendment power lawyer. (Add them to his friends list.)

• Move over Gideons, Jesus: California's first certified green hotel will place Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth in its nightstands instead of a Bible.

• Break the chain: MTV will only air this year's Video Music Awards once, live from The Palms in Las Vegas. We'll see it when we believe it.
