Okay, here's a better shot. Why not (at least) have the guy/security guard drive and you sit in back seat with kid??? Or have guy hold the baby?? Seems crazy dangerous to me!

She doesn't look like she is terrified. She looks awfully relaxed to me.

Sounds like revisionist history to me. I'm no fan of the paparazzi, but I seriously doubt her account. What has she done to her career/public image? I seriously wonder if she is just surrounded by 'yes' people who all just want a piece of her $. I know she's just a person, but for someone so in the public eye, man does she make some bad choices.

I am not surprised. She never struck me as the sharpest knife in the drawer. How many times are you in a car and you look out to see someone doing something totally stupid with a kid in a car.

The 'ladies' on The View defended her this morning. Some specious infallibility of maternity argument. I'm inclined to think, though, that most parents make terrible, and potentially dangerous, errors with their children at one time or another. Most don't have photographers following them around whenever they leave home, though.

I can't even tell that it is her, but whoever it is maybe they are just in the driveway. Still, it's not a good idea.

Here is Brittany's statement On Monday, photos surfaced of Britney Spears driving her SUV in Malibu with her son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap behind the wheel. The pictures raised obvious questions because her young son was not in a car seat. A source close to Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son. "Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1157153,00.html

But she was endangering her son, no matter what spin she puts on it. What if they had followed and she was trying to drive more quickly?

Media Take Out has learned that Star Jones and Al Reynolds marriage may be on its last legs. Al Reynolds and Star Jones have been frantically touring the country to promote Star's new book, Shine. However, the busy schedule and pressure to sell books is taking its toll on the usually happy couple - causing them to fight constantly. According to sources close to the couple, this weekend the fighting exploded. A close friend to Ms. Jones says, "Star is so upset with Al that she's not even wearing her wedding ring." Media Take Out has confirmed that during today's taping of ABC's The View, Ms. Jones was NOT wearing her wedding ring. Developing...

Seems like the SUV has locking doors, so it would be much safer to put the baby IN the carseat, IN the back and if she's really worried, climb over the seat, or between the front seats to be with the child and let the guard drive. Having the baby in her lap isn't an option in California. Her choice was what put the baby in danger, nothing else. I just go crazy seeing loose kids or dogs in cars.

Rumor has it that if the relationship dissolves before 2 years have passed, Al gets nothing.

NY DAILY NEWS/RUSH AND MOLLOY... Did baby stress sabotage the romance of Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong? The Tour de France champ banked sperm before he began chemotherapy for testicular cancer. But even though he conceived his two children with ex-wife Kristin through in vitro fertilization, he and 43-year-old Crow were having trouble, according to sources. "They were getting into a bit of a blame game going on," says a spy. Whatever, Armstrong has canceled his appearance at the Grammys, TMZ.com reports, following his breakup with Crow, who's a nominee. * * * As Lance rides into the sunset, where does Crow fly to now? NY DAILY NEWS/By JOE DZIEMIANOWICZ Nine years ago, Grammy winner Sheryl Crow turned those words into a top-10 hit. And since splitting with her super-cyclist fiancé, Lance Armstrong, over the weekend, there's never been a better time for Crow to embrace her own catchy creed. Indeed, a change could do Crow a whole lot of good. And there's no reason why she should fly solo. There's a whole flock of guys out there with whom she can spread her wings (but more on that later). Since setting out on her Tour de Lance in the fall of 2003, Crow, who turns 44 Saturday, clipped her own wings by swapping her Rock Chick Royalty image for a supporting role as The Girlfriend - one who sculpted her mind and body to match her man. In effect, she became a little like background music. She has even admitted as much. "There have been women in my life who, as soon as they get involved with someone, drop off the face of the Earth," Crow has said. "It's kind of been like that for me." The sexy singer, who previously has been linked romantically with Eric Clapton, Owen Wilson and Kid Rock, transformed into a demure bride-to-be who was more about the 6-carat rock on her finger than the 6-string guitar she was famous for strumming. Crow's sense of humor has also flown the coop. After starting out as a backup vocalist for the likes of Michael Jackson and other headliners, 13 years ago she broke through with the kicky little ditty "All I Wanna Do." That No. 1 hit was all about breakfast brewskies and getting a nice early a.m. beer buzz. Fluffy, if not foamy, to be sure. But try not to hum and dance along. Fast-forward to "Wildflower," Crow's latest CD, her first since hooking up with the divorced 34-year-old father of three. It's based, she said, "on the conversations that Lance and I would have about religion and Terri Schiavo and about our government, and how we felt about what kind of world we felt we were leaving his children." Not exactly the stuff that inspires a kegger. About "Wildflower," which is up for two big Grammys tomorrow night, one critic observed that the "songs are as deeply thoughtful about the state of the world as they are deadly dull." Another noted: "It sounds very much as if the woman has lost her edge." So how can Sheryl get her groove back? First, stop modeling wedding gowns - but one assumes that's a given. But do keep working out - your bod is killer, and that's always a good thing - and keep believing in passion. In the past, Crow has said that love "was a very necessary experience for me." Lady, park that mountain bike in the garage and call one of the four men we think you'll make beautiful music with - even if all you wanna do is rebound, and have some fun. PAST LOVERS: 'I have a tendency to get involved with people who are immensely talented," Sheryl Crow has crowed. "It's always brought me a lot of great life experience, but it has not always been conducive to a healthy relationship." Clearly. She has been romantically linked with two of the musicians with whom she has actually made music, but neither guitar god Eric Clapton nor rap-metal meister Kid Rock (pictured) became serious boyfriend material. Crow's hit song "My Favorite Mistake" was rumored to be about her relationship with Clapton. That was, of course, before she met her new favorite, Lance Armstrong. The Boomerang Boyfriend: Owen Wilson: Goodbye yellow jersey, hello butterscotch stallion. Or should we say hello again. Crow and Wilson (call them "Crowen") dated for two years before breaking up in 2003 - and before he broke through to the Hollywood A-list. Now his Hollywood stock has risen to Lance-like levels. Bonus: Though her nuptial plans were dashed, she can stay home with him and watch his "Wedding Crashers" video. The Naughty Boy: Colin Farrell: Demi Moore, eat your heart out. Why should ex-Brat Packers get all the young dudes? Sheryl has just as kicking a body as Demi, and can sing, too. This new phase of her life is a sort of New World - and Colin, 29, can explore every one of her winding roads. Bonus: Judging from his homemade sex tape and the much-yapped-about scene snipped from "A Home at the End of the World," Farrell has something to, er, crow about. The Mountain Man: Bode Miller: Romance is just like riding a bike - er, make that skis. Lance was an uphill specialist - now what she needs is a downhill demon. The 28-year-old Olympian is known for his fearless - okay, reckless - style and need for speed. Like Crow, he has sung the praises of being buzzed. And if Sheryl wants to dish about Lance, Bode has been there: in a magazine interview, Miller criticized Armstrong for (allegedly, we should stress) using performance-enhancing drugs en route to his record-setting seven Tour de France victories. Bonus: If she wants her public to see her rebound quickly with another man, the Olympics (which start Friday) trump the measly Tour de France. The Sugar Daddy: Ron Perelman: She's suddenly single. And since showing Ellen Barkin the gold-plated knobs on his front door, he is, too. Why don't those two kids console each other? Crow knows platinum. She has sold millions of records. But she hasn't sold billions of records. Perelman is the 34th richest man in America, according to Forbes. Forget the Tour de France - Sheryl should seek solace with the winner of the Tour de Finance. Bonus: Just sit back, girl, and soak up the sum. A posting on UrbanBaby.com, the city's online Mommy network, said what a lot of people were thinking when Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong announced they were over. "Karma is a b*tch." The rock star and the supercyclist met cute at a charity event - they flirted with each other on their Blackberries - just weeks after the end of his five-year marriage in 2003 to the petite and blond Kristin Richard. He and Kristin had come together just as Armstrong was finishing treatment for testicular cancer. She underwent in-vitro fertilization - using sperm he had frozen - to conceive their son and twin daughters. Though Crow was not implicated in the divorce, Kristin was obviously hurting: The celebrity couple indulged in serial P.D.A.s while the 43-year-old former good-time girl pointedly made herself over into a devoted helpmate to her athlete. "The last year really for me was about learning about the bike," Crow confided to Oprah in July. "His line of work is so much cooler than mine now." Meanwhile, the ex-Mrs. Armstrong told reporters, "I've embraced my pain and realize it's okay to be sad. Now I can say, 'Lance has the life he wants, and that's his now.'" Until last week, that included plans for a spring wedding in Austin, Tex. - and children with Crow at some point. Crow modeled wedding dresses for the current issue of Allure magazine while her latest CD, "Wildflower," is all about loving Lance. Back on UrbanBaby, as one mother wondered how Kristin was taking the news, another had a ready answer. "I'm guessing she is inwardly ecstatic ... wouldn't you be?"

Wow, that's intersting! And I just found a link to this on the AOL front page
quote:Feb 7, 6:19 PM (ET) (AP) Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow pose for photographers at GQ Magazine's party celebrating the 2005... Full Image NEW YORK (AP) - Lance Armstrong closed his weekly satellite radio show on a bittersweet note by playing ex-fiancee Sheryl Crow's song "Letter To God." The seven-time Tour De France winner and the Grammy-winning rocker announced their breakup in a joint statement last week after "much thought and consideration," despite their "deep love and respect." Armstrong acknowledged the split in his Sunday night talk show, "Armstrong Radio," on the Sirius Satellite Radio channel "Faction," saying he was "torn it didn't work out." "Obviously, this week was a rough week for us, but that doesn't change the fact that Sheryl is an unbelievable lady, one of the smartest, wisest, most gifted people I've ever met and a person that I can honestly say has shown me a love that I never knew," he said. "It's only fair that I say that, and it's only fair that we play one of her songs tonight and not run from the situation." Crow, 43, has called Armstrong, 34, the inspiration for her last album, "Wildflower," which was released in September. They announced their engagement in September. It would have been her first marriage and his second. He has three children from a previous marriage. Following the breakup announcement, Armstrong reportedly canceled his scheduled appearance as a presenter at the 48th annual Grammy Awards on Wednesday. A call to the Recording Academy by The Associated Press was not immediately returned Tuesday. Crow is up for three Grammys: best pop vocal album ("Wildflower"), best female pop vocal performance for "Good Is Good" and best country collaboration with vocals for "Building Bridges."
So this sounds like it came more from her than from him, perhaps?

"Photographs showing pop star Britney Spears driving a car with her infant son in her lap, in apparent violation of motor safety laws, caught the attention of child welfare authorities and ignited a media uproar on Tuesday. A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said a deputy paid a visit to Spears' home in Malibu to obtain "contact information" at the request of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. "We were contacted by DCFS to obtain contact information from the Spears for them," said the spokesman, Luis Castro. "What they're going to do with the information we don't know. It's not our investigation." A spokeswoman for the Family Services Department, Louise Grasmehr, declined comment on the Spears incident. But she said her agency routinely sends social workers to any homes where a child has been reported to be placed in danger, including the failure to properly restrain a baby in a moving car." I completely agree with Seamonkey ... having a child in her lap isn't an option in California. Britney made the choice to put her son in danger. I am glad it's being investigated.

http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1157563,00.html Heather Locklear Discovered 'Provocative' E-Mail Tuesday Feb 07, 2006 9:00pm EST Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora were working through a rough patch in their marriage, due mostly to the strife of two busy careers. Then, sources say, a suggestive e-mail sent to Sambora by an acquaintance of the couple became a final straw in Locklear's decision to seek a divorce, PEOPLE reports in its upcoming issue. Locklear found the e-mail, which contained "provocative pictures" of the female, a close friend of the pair tells PEOPLE. Though the woman had long been "a sore subject," says the source, Locklear never thought she and Sambora had actually been "romantic." Whatever conclusions Locklear has now drawn from the photos, they were, her friend believes, the deciding factor. "She's devastated," says the friend. "Absolutely devastated." Sambora, meanwhile, is as upset by the photos as Locklear, according to their friend: "Richie's saying nothing ever happened, that he never asked for the pictures." Another source close to the Bon Jovi guitar player says the photos are neither the cause of the breakup nor indicative of a liaison between Sambora and the woman. "It's absolutely not true that they had an affair," says the friend. Many observers believed the bond between Sambora, 46, and Locklear, 44, was strong. "I thought they were the perfect couple," says their longtime friend, music journalist Lonn Friend, who insists Sambora was not your typical rocker. "He'd sown some wild oats in his day" but since hooking up with Locklear, Friend says, he'd become "a family man." The couple have one daughter, Ava, 8.

It's not an option in Texas either. Some have said if her story is true and she had taken the time to put the baby in his carseat, the mob would have been trying to climb in with her. Anyone who's ever had a newborn in the backseat, especially if the baby is screaming, knows that you can contort your body in ways never imagined from the front seat. In an SUV, she would have had no problem putting that baby in the carseat after locking the doors. I'm sorry but the girl doesn't look upset to me. And if there was a threat of danger, why isn't that huge man, who looks like he could be a bodyguard, in the passenger seat driving? Nope. Not buying it.

From news I've heard the last couple of days, the couple discussed "New Blind Item from Ted Casablanca..." that Tish posted last week is definitely Charlie and Denise.
