Britney Spears House Hunting in Atlanta?

After her VMA disaster, hit and run charges, and alcohol and drug testing, Britney Spears has run off again -- this time to paparazzi-free Atlanta!

If only Whitney was still here to comfort her! The two crazies could have shared a bottle vial of coke while gabbing about divorcing loser husbands, getting rid of annoying children who got in the way of their careers, and trying to make a comeback.

Instead, we hear Britney's in town actually working -- meeting with Pharrell and Dallas Austin to finish a track called "Rockstar" for her new album. But could she be house hunting as well?

Look what she told Matt Lauer last summer:

Lauer: Can you imagine ever living anywhere else? Could you pick up from here and go to small town America again?

Spears: Maybe... I could go to Atlanta. I've been to Atlanta. I like suburbia-type areas... I love where I live right now. It's really beautiful and stuff like that, but if I have to move in five years, I could do it.

Lauer: You could recreate this type of setting, this type of a sanctuary in another city, that would be fine with you.

Spears: Yeah... mmm hmm.

Lauer: And maybe escape a little of the attention.

Spears: Yeah, if they would leave me, but I don't know if that would happen...

Lisa Lisa Jams Out At WETbar Friday

This Friday, WETbar presents Lisa Lisa in the next installment of their "I Love the 80's Night..."

Last month WETbar brought you New Kids on the Block's Jordan Knight. This month its Lisa Lisa, the International Pop Diva with hits like "All Cried Out," "Lost in Emotion," "Head to Toe" and many more.

Lisa Lisa (born Lisa Velez) and her band Cult Jam were one of the original American Latin freestyle groups of the 1980s. The group released their debut album, "Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam with Full Force" in 1985.

After several hit albums throughout the 80s, Lisa Lisa resurfaced in 2001 on the Nickelodeon series "Taina," where she played the lead character's mother. She is gearing up to release a new solo album next year.

LeAnn Rimes' "Good Intentions"

LeAnn Rimes will soon debut on the big screen alongside Luke Perry in "Good Intentions," a movie that just finished shooting in Atlanta...

Also shot in Newborn and Rutledge, Georgia, "Good Intentions" is Rimes' first movie as an actress, except for when she played herself in "Coyote Ugly." Here's what it's about according to the Georgia Film, Video & Music commission:

"Etta Milford is a loving wife, doting mother and armed robber. Inspired by the success stories on 'The Antiques Roadshow,' Etta decides to invest in antiques and sell them off to bankroll her kids' college fund. To raise investment capital, Etta dons a ski mask and moonlights as the county's most wanted criminal.

She turns the fictional town of Myra, Georgia upside down, outwitting local authorities and pulling heists between carpools and little league games. Etta's plan takes an interesting turn as she uses her loot to purchase "antiques" that she doesn't realize are fakes."

"Good Intentions" also stars Elaine Hendrix, Randy McDowell, and Greg Alan Williams.

Dave Matthews @ Blake's on the Park

We hear Dave Matthews decided to have a drink at Blake's on the Park during the sound check for his "Green Concert" at Piedmont Park Saturday...

The concert, which raised $1 million for Piedmont Park's expansion, was funded by Matthews because of his interest in environmental issues and his wife Ashley Harper, who grew up in Vinings and attended The Westminster Schools with us in Buckhead.

As his tour bus drove past Blake's after the concert Friday night, Matthews must have heard the drag queens yelling "go back to Cobb County!" at the crowd walking home -- because on Saturday, that's exactly what he did by visiting his in-laws in Vinings.

Eartha Kitt: "I'm Turning 80, Ya'll!"

Not to be outdone by Queen Latifah, Eartha Kitt has announced her 80th birthday celebration will take place when she performs on October 19th and 20th with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra...

Here's what the New York Times says:

Purrrfect... Eartha Kitt's triumphs in song and on stage and TV -- the definitive Catwoman on "Batman" -- make her this fall's hottest ticket.

A consummate entertainer for nearly 50 years, she is "finally being discovered by the generation that thought Madonna pioneered the image of the pop singer as a gold-digging femme fatale..."
