*Where Britney Spears is heading is anyone’s guess. But we know where she began: Inside the author of “Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.” On Friday, Lynne Spears’ publisher said the book is set for release on Mother’s Day 2008.
*Orlando Bloom will not be prosecuted for his role in a car accident earlier this month, the Los Angeles district attorney’s office said Friday. Spokeswoman Jane Robison said there is “insufficient evidence.” The 30-year-old actor told police he was being chased by paparazzi as he left a nightclub in the early morning hours of Oct. 12. When one photographer made a sudden lane change, Bloom swerved into some parked cars, injuring two passengers in his vehicle.
*Loni Anderson is the latest person in the entertainment industry to discover L.A. developer Jon Goldstein, the Los Angeles Times reports. Goldstein estimates that he has sold more than 60 percent of his homes to people in the entertainment industry, including a vice president of Universal Studios and Rodney Carrington, star of the ABC comedy series “Rodney.” Anderson, who is perhaps best known for her role as receptionist Jennifer Marlowe on the sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati,” is paying close to $2 million for her new home.
