A British TV host is claiming that Mrs. Federline is also Mrs. Bacon.
Richard Bacon, who hosts the morning show “The Big Breakfast” in jolly old England, says he legally married Britney Spears shortly after she broke up with Justin Timberlake–even though the “wedding” was obviously a joke.
Bacon recalled asking Spears to marry him, msnbc.com reports. “Hey, sure,” he said she told him, at which point a vicar entered the room with a real marriage certificate, which Bacon claimed they both signed.
Alas, Bacon said, a bodyguard tracked him down and tore up the certificate. But he insisted, “You can’t just get rid of it by tearing it up, which means I actually could still be legally married to Britney Spears, which means … that Britney Spears is a bigamist.”
Not so fast, Casanova. A rep for Spears told msnbc.com: “Sorry to break Richard’s heart, but Britney Spears is legally married to her husband, Kevin Federline. … I hope Richard is able to accept this and move on from what must be a confusing time for him.”

What’s up, doc?

Head of the glass
A titanic party foul left Leonardo DiCaprio with a nasty cut over his ear. A woman reportedly struck him with a beer bottle at a Hollywood party in June, and the cut took 12 stitches to close, adding injury to Oscar snub.
Potty mouth
Apparently Cyndi Lauper’s music isn’t for the birds. She was hitting a high note during a concert in May of 2004 when a bird flying overhead left a surprise in her mouth. Ever the trooper, Lauper wiped her tongue off and finished her set.
Bump & groan
It would take a lot to bring sexy TV starlet Eva Longoria down. Like, say, a falling pole on the set of her hit show just last week. Thankfully, the “Desperate Housewives” diva was OK despite the bump on the noggin.
Pop eye
David Bowie gave his fans in Norway a rock show in June of 2004. One of his fans gave him a lollipop. In the eye. The flying sucker forced Bowie to cut the show short.
Da-Madged Ribs
On a horse ride on her 47th birthday, Madonna took a tumble, cracking three ribs and breaking her hand and her collarbone. Look for a remix on her new album: “Like a Surgeon.”
Sliced hand
Youch! Christina Aguilera sliced two tendons in her hand last month. But how? Gossip reports said she had an altercation with a drunk fan, but her rep insisted Xtina cut it on a piece of glass at home in California. Either way . . . youch!
Bo squiggly
Bo Bice, who already broke his foot this summer on tour, just had emergency surgery to correct a kink in his intestines, according to MTV. And you thought listening to Seacrest was painful.
