"Like the doctors said from the beginning, its [sic] been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday," the former Blink-182 drummer wrote Saturday.

The economic crash has made life tough all over. Stocks are sinking, jobs are scarce and folks' retirement accounts are dwindling.

Now, the downturn is even affecting the vital partying sector of the economy. According to TheLondonPaper's blog, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z couldn't scare up his usual $50,000 pay-to-par-tay fee this weekend in England, where he's promoting the NBA New Jersey Nets (of which he's a part owner).

Even after the rapper dropped his price to $13,000, there were reportedly no takers, with a club source telling the rag, "At this rate he might even have to party for free.”

The horror...the horror.

Scott Peters, the brain behind The 4400, will write and executive produce the update with Warner Bros. TV, per Variety. Warners shepherded the 1983 NBC TV movie, its sequel and a standalone series that ran during the 1984-85 season.

The new version will completely revamp the original, including changing the allusions from the Holocaust to 9/11.

Sticking it to the dawg in your life has never looked like so much fun.

The brand-spanking new video for Britney Spears' "Womanizer," which had its world premiere tonight on ABC's 20/20, has a little bit of everything: Cherry stems, wigs, a syncopated ass-whoopin', xeroxed buttocks and some quality naked writhing time in a sauna.

Translation: It's Britney, bitch.

So, does this feast of the flesh remind you of the Spears of old, or, better yet, does it give you hope for the Spears of the future? Do share your critiques in the comments section...

And a happy new year it will be for many: Brit's first scent, Curious, made $100 million in its first five weeks on the shelves.
