| Britney Spears
Sam Lutfi was finally served the restraining order yesterday that effectively requires him to stay 250 feet from Britney Spears and have no contact with her whatsoever. The restraining order was set to expire today, but the judge in the case extended it to March 17, according to the AP: In court papers, Jeffrey Wexler, an attorney for her father, James Spears, wrote that "after three weeks of apparently evading service," Lutfi was served at 11 a.m. outside his Los Angeles apartment.
The order, which requires Lutfi to stay 250 yards away from Spears and her home, was set to expire Friday. Wexler had asked for the order to be extended. Poor Sam Lutfi. He must miss Britney Spears. I bet he walks in on random pap smears just to remember the good times. Surprisingly none of the women really cared until Sam started throwing Cheetos at them and screaming "Where's the checkbook?! I'll feed you to Satan!" Then it got a little weird.

Simmermon: Photos lack purpose
What was once used to preserve a memory or leave a legacy to pass down through generations has now turned into an egocentric, self-absorbed facefest. The idea of picture taking has made many unique transformations since the first cameras were invented. .
Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 takes on iPhone, HTC Touch
A 3.2 megapixel camera also comes standard with the phone, which offers 30 fps VGA video recording and playback. Onboard memory is only 400 MB, but can be expanded with Sony and SanDisk's proprietary Memory Stick Micro memory up to 8 GB. The X1 will face tough competition in the market from HTC's successful Touch line of Windows Mobile phones. .
Scunthorpe 1 Saints 1 - Pearson happy with first point
The players have been a bit low on confidence and it was important to come here and try and be slightly more organised than Tuesday night. From that you have a foundation to build on. "I said to the players "don't get carried away, it's a point" but it's a difficult place to come, they're scrapping for their lives. "We're off to a start and we face a difficult end to the season and how we move on will give us a better picture of where we're at." .
Casio Exilim EX-V7 digital camera
It turned out to be a challenge to get very worked up one way or the other about Casio's Exilim EX-V7 , a camera that balances out to be an almost perfectly average point-and-shoot. On the plus side, the 7x zoom lens covers a lot of territory, and the camera's battery life of almost 1,195 shots per charge is exceptional for its class. (The Nikon Coolpix S50c [ ] holds the lowest score, with 347 shots per charge; Samsung's NV11 [ ] performed best, achieving 1,233.) Throw in a few points, too, for a full range of manual exposure controls, a rarity in this category. On the mildly annoying side, there's the zoom slider control, which is awkwardly placed adjacent and vertical to the LCD screen. Also, image stabilization proved too ineffective in most situations. And the plastic docking cradle, required to recharge the battery, will take up more room in a suitcase than most folks would care to sacrifice.
'Treasure' Finds More Box Office Fortune
Fortune-seeker Nicolas Cage, lonely guy Will Smith and a pack of talking chipmunks ended Hollywood's year on a happy note. Cage's "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" was the No. 1 movie for a second weekend with $35.6 million, followed by "Alvin and the Chipmunks" with $30 million and Smith's "I Am Legend" with $27.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Those hits along with a solid crop of other holdovers and new movies that opened Christmas Day capped a year-end hot streak for Hollywood, whose business soared the last few weeks after a sluggish fall. .
