Britney Spears would very much like to meet the Queen of England, and is therefore planning a "pop-in" visit to the palace. We hear Elizabeth II was a big fan of "Crossroads," so this should end well. (Mirror UK)

Paula Abdul says she isn't sure if she wants to come back to "American Idol." This, she says, is "negotiating." Uh, not if you tell everyone that's exactly what you're doing. (US)

Kelly Clarkson says she is tired of hearing "the fat joke." This raises the question: is there a specific fat joke about Kelly Clarkson? And, if so, why haven't we heard it? (US)

Lindsay Lohan is following her ex, Samantha Ronson, all over London. Maybe LeAnn Rimes can provide her with some more subtle shadowing techniques. (Celebuzz)

Audrina Patridge stripped down to a gold bikini for a new Carl's Jr. ad. Glad to know she's studied the Paris Hilton plan of showbiz success, which we think boils down to: "show skin, eat meat." (People)

Kristin Cavallari nearly caused a riot by throwing glitter on some catwalk models in St. Maarten. She should really try out this same technique on Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. But with holy water. (Socialite Life)

Gwyneth Paltrow appeared to have some … GOOP … all over her legs during a filming of "The Tonight Show." Luckily, a kindly assistant seems to have rushed on and toweled off the shiny substance before Gwyn's gams blinded too many viewers. (Gawker)

Responding to accusations that her show spreads medical disinformation, Oprah Winfrey says she trusts her viewers are "smart and discerning enough" to seek out real medical advice. Or to hop on WebMD. Whatever. (E! Online)

Megan Fox is reportedly fighting with her mom over plans to get a sleeve tattoo. Megan's basic argument seems to be, "But mo-ooom, Angelina Jolie has tons of ink!" (Celebitchy)
