You know your hubby lacks class if even Janice Dickinson thinks he’s trashy.
Britney Spears, whose public image has taken a pounding lately, was critiqued by the likes of seventies supermodel Janice Dickinson — who thinks Spears needs an image overhaul and should dump husband Kevin Federline.
“I never found him hot at all. But she’s a hick anyway. She needs to get hot again. Stop clomping around in those Malibu flip-flops,” Dickinson told The Book Standard. Dickinson, whose book “Check Please: Mating, Dating, and Extricating” comes out next month, said she’d like to give Spears a makeover. “I would tar and feather her first of all, tell her to dump that [bleeping] hick husband of hers. She needs solid advice, and not from Hicksville.”
Baby bondingLiz Phair is ambivalent about adoption.
The singer, who was adopted herself, worries about the well-being of the babies that her friends are adopting.
“I don’t think you can be adopted without being a little bit screwed up, just knowing what I know from having [her son] Nick,” Phair told the June issue of Women’s Health magazine that comes out next week. “I have a lot of friends who are adopting right now. These babies are going to be just 8 months old, leaving their mothers who can’t take care of them. By 8 months, Nick and I were so bonded it was ridiculous. How is that going to work? My friends say, ‘It’s going to be wonderful.’ I’m biting my nails, thinking, ‘Do you know what you’re getting into?’”
Notes from all over
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s wedding will be a traditional Catholic ceremony in her homeland of Australia in mid-June, according to Life & Style Weekly, followed by a weeklong honeymoon in Fiji. “Nicole’s wedding will be the polar opposite of whatever Tom Cruise is cooking up,” a “close friend” of Kidman told the mag. “She has no desire for anything remotely fancy.” Her daughter Isabella and sister Antonia will be maids of honor and Keith’s brother Shane, will reportedly serve as best man. The bride and groom are asking that money be donated to charity in lieu of gifts. . . . Paul Bettany, who stars in “The DaVinci Code,” this week revealed some details about his tough childhood, in which his father concluded that he was gay and considered a sex-change operation. But it was Bettany's own upper-class accent that really made him stand out. “I was bullied horribly [in school],” Bettany told the London Mirror. “And I hated everything about school. Part of the reason was that when I was young we lived on quite a rough estate in Harlesden and I suppose I spoke posh. But we didn’t have much money and I didn’t fit in.” . . . Paris Hilton’s new sweetie has been warned to do something that might be difficult: stay out of the spotlight. New Arizona Cardinal quarterback and former USC star Matt Leinart was warned by his team that if he’s serious about football, he shouldn’t be photographed out late at night dancing and drinking with his partying heiress girlfriend, according to the Star. “Matt took it very seriously,” a source told the tab, “almost to the point of tears.”
