BRITNEY SPEARS COULD BE TRUE COULD BE CRAP: BRITNEY SPEARS is back at the top of the charts and getting ready to go on tour, but according to Britain’s not-always-reliable The London Sun , “she’s on the most painfully stage-managed promotional tour showbiz has ever seen.”

Un-named members of her inner circle tell the tab she’s “very fragile”, and they’re worried she won’t be able to maintain her false front for a 5-minute interview, let alone a grueling 2-month, 26-city tour.

(--She just canceled an appearance with Ellen DeGeneres citing “scheduling conflicts," but an insider claims the real reason is “the format of the show." It's "too relaxed for Britney to keep up her false front.”)

One source close to britney even told the paper “she’s heavily medicated and popping up to ten pills a day…she has to be wheeled from one place to another. she can't be trusted to do anything on her own. she's like a zombie.”

KATIE HOLMES EXPLAINS THE SURI NAUGHTY GUMMIES PHOTO: KATIE HOLMES wants you to know she doesn't approve of children eating genital-shaped candy. Earlier this month, Katie was photographed holding 4-year-old SURI at a New York City candy shop, and in Suri's hand was a box of PENIS GUMMIES.

Katie explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday how Suri ended up with a box of the naughty sweets : "I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It's for kids. We go in, and we are waiting for a table, and she grabs some gummies that are boy-part gummies. I was horrified."

Katie says she didn't order the four-year-old to put back the candy back because she didn't want to explain what they were.

Well, there's a scene where they kiss, and at the movie's premiere Wednesday night, the director told reporters the 21 year old who plays the teen in the movie was visibly aroused after shooting that scene. (--He may have been joking.)

But when a reporter for the "New York Daily News" asked Kim about it later, she was NOT amused. She basically pounced on the reporter, saying, quote, "You know, as a woman, I really find those questions offensive. As a woman, I find that really embarrassing [for you] to ask that." (--The reporter was a woman.)
