Runway judge Britney Spears
Heidi Klum wants Britney Spears to be a judge on 'Project Runway'.
The supermodel - who hosts the hit US TV style show - reportedly thinks an appearance from Britney would dramatically increase the programme's popularity.
After meeting up with Britney at her 27th birthday party in New York's Tenjune nightclub this week, sources say Heidi is keen to ask the singer to appear on an upcoming episode of the series, which sees keen style designers compete to win a contract with a leading style store.
A source said: "Heidi is smart - she knows that Britney can do wonders for a show's ratings, there's been a lot of drama at 'Project Runway' - it would be huge for her to get Britney."
Previous guest judges on the show include Sarah Jessica Parker, Natalie Portman and Victoria Beckham.
Jennifer Lopez was also scheduled to judge an episode of the series, but pulled out after reportedly injuring her foot.

Pamela Anderson’s Tommy romance
Pamela Anderson is planning a "romantic" New Year's Eve with her ex-husband Tommy Lee.
The former 'Baywatch' actress - who has two sons, Brandon, 12, and 10-year-old Dylan, with the Motley Crue rocker - is looking forward to the pair's intimate celebration on December 31.
Pamela, who posted a naked magazine cover shot of her and Tommy, wrote on her official blog: "We are spending new years together in Montreal. How romantic."
Pamela moved back in with Tommy earlier this year and, despite describing them as an "old married couple", she insisted they weren't having sex.
"So, yes, I'm homeless and living with my ex-husband. We're like an old married couple - we're living together but not having sex."
Pammie and Tommy married in February 1995 in a beachside ceremony, after only knowing each other for 96 hours.
The pair divorced in 1998, after Tommy was incarcerated and charged with spousal abuse. He was later sentenced to six months in jail.Since the divorce they have rekindled their relationship several times.

Jealous killer William Balfour
Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law allegedly killed the actress' mother, brother and nephew in a jealous rage.
William Balfour - who was officially charged with murdering Darnell Donerson Hudson, Jason Hudson and seven-year-old Julian King on Tuesday (02.12.08) - is said to have been overcome with envy after seeing Julia, Jennifer's sister, receive a birthday present from her new boyfriend.
Prosecutor LuAnn Snow told a Chicago court yesterday (03.12.08) that William had arrived unannounced to Julia's workplace in early October to confront her about rumours she was seeing another man.
Speaking after the hearing, Snow added: "He told her at the time that her family would suffer if she saw other men."
However, Julia did not take Balfour's intimidation seriously as he "had not followed through on any of those threats" before.
Snow also claimed Balfour had stolen the gun from Jason Hudson in the summer, and then used it to shoot him.
Reading from a legal document, Snow told the court: "Defendant then entered the home at gunpoint. He shot Darnell Donerson several times while she was in the living room area. He then went into Jason Hudson's bedroom, where he was in bed, and shot him two times in the head.
Defendant shot Julian King in the head while the seven-year-old was laying behind the front seat of the white SUV (sports utility vehicle)."Balfour's attorney Joshua Kutnick maintains his client is innocent of the three charges of first-degree murder and one of home invasion, despite police insisting they have physical evidence linking him to the crime.Balfour, who was denied bail yesterday, is next scheduled to appear in court on December 30.

George Clooney’s stripper love
George Clooney loves being propositioned by male blonde strippers, claims Brad Pitt.
Brad, who became close friends with the legendary womaniser after the pair starred in several movies together, insists George has a soft spot for hunky Chippendales dancers.
When TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres asked Brad how to woo George, Brad replied: "Get a bunch of Chippendales. He's yours. Three, four - no less than three. Make one a blonde."
Earlier in the show, Ellen revealed she has been trying to convince George to appear on her popular TV series since her studio moved next to the 'Burn After Reading' star's office.
She told Brad in the interview which is due to air today (04.12.08): "We've tried everything with our 'Catch Clooney' project. We've sent Victoria's Secret models over. We've sent Miss America over. We've sent Kate Hudson over. We've sent gifts. We decorated his bungalow for Halloween. I don't know what more we can do."
George, 47, has previously been romantically linked to a string of beautiful women including Renee Zellweger, Salma Hayek, Julia Roberts, Lucy Liu, Lisa Snowdon and Sarah Larson.
He has vowed never to get married or have children, following his divorce from actress Talia Balsam in 1993.

Hollywood to upgrade more celebrities to A-List status to meet demands of NBC talkshows
With Jay Leno getting his own primetime show starting next fall on NBC and Conan O'Brien taking over "The Tonight Show," there will be a fierce battle for booking top notch Hollywood star guests on the same network talkshows.
"The bottom line is that there are not enough A-Listers out there to satisfy Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, and not to mention David Letterman," says a SAG spokesperson. "I know the focus should be on the possible work stoppage, but this Leno deal is extremely important and we want to start the upgrades right away."
SAG is going through its records of B-List stars to see which ones can get an upgrade to appear on the Conan O'Brien show.
"Leno, of course, will get all the current A-Listers because it's a prime-time show," says the SAG spokesperson. "O'Brien will get the upgrades, the new A-Listers, which some people may or may not accept as true A-Listers. But that's all we can do at this point."
Already getting upgrades are Jack Osbourne, Jason "Wee-Man" Acuna ("Jackass"), Erik Estrada and David Faustino (Bud Bundy/"Married with Children.")
As for Jimmy Fallon who will be taking over the "Late Night" show on NBC, it will be slim pickings. NBC is telling Fallon he will have first dibs on rejected guests from The Bonnie Hunt Show.

Failure of animated film "Delgo" shakes Hollywood to its core
It's bad enough that the Screen Actors Guild may go on strike soon, Hollywood studios are trying to cope with another devastating development. The animated CGI movie "Delgo" was a massive bomb at the box office, earning just $512,000 in its first weekend of wide release, despite it being animated and having a Hollywood star voice cast.
"We're in complete shock," says the film's director, Marc Adler. "I mean we did the two things were supposed to do. We had CGI animation and tons of Hollywood star voices. What else were we supposed to do? This is so stunning. The same formula has worked for years. We're back to square one on this."
The Hollywood star voice cast included Freddie Prinze Jr., Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell, Louis Gossett Jr., Eric Idle and Burt Reynolds.
"How could a film bomb with a cast like that?" asks Box Office Weekly editor David Heisler. "I mean, Christ Kattan was in it. I hear a few studios are now going to extremes by trying to add quality storylines to the animation and Hollywood star voice cast. The situation is that desperate right now."
