WHAT'S THAT IN BRITNEY'S EAR?: If you've been watching the "X Factor" live shows you may have noticed BRITNEY SPEARS wearing some sort of device in her ear.

Okay, but then why is she only wearing it in one ear? Well, there's a perfectly good explanation for that, too! Her rep says she lost the other one. And there you go. Mystery solved.

'MODERN FAMILY' STAR REMOVED FROM HER HOME: 14-year-old ARIEL WINTER, who plays Alex Dunphy on ABC's "Modern Family," has been removed from her home amid allegations that her mother has been physically and emotionally abusing her.
Ariel is now in the custody of her older sister Shanelle, who herself was removed from the home 20 years ago over similar allegations. In court papers filed last month, Shanelle claims that her mother Crystal Workman regularly subjected Ariel to physical abuse, including slapping, hitting and pushing, and emotional abuse, which included "vile name-calling, personal insults about [Ariel and her] weight, attempts to 'sexualize' [her], deprivation of food, etc."
In addition to custody, Shanelle also wants Ariel's paychecks to go to an account that their mom can't touch.
