Chaos Reigns As Britney Spears Stages Hotel Drive-By
Britney caused chaos in Santa Monica, California yesterday in what appeared to be a desperate attempt to get a little paparazzi attention. Photographers camped outside celebrity hotspot the Casa Del Mar hotel, hoping for the chance to shoot Britney's one-time pop rival Mandy Moore - who was conducting press interviews inside, were stunned when the singer slowly drove by. One bystander says, "It seemed obvious that Britney wanted to get noticed and photographed - why else would you show up at one of California's paparazzi hang-outs. She drove really slowly and doubled back on herself to make sure that everyone who wanted to get a shot, got a shot." But Britney's afternoon out turned ugly when her security guard, who was with her for the drive, had to fight off one snapper who got too close to his charge.
The onlooker says, "Britney had to make a run for it in the end. She and her bodyguard ended up hanging out by the hotel pool - in full view of everyone."

Princess Paris getting Top treatment!
PARIS Hilton had better hope she stays sick. The celebu-con is getting the princess treatment in the medical wing of the Century Regional Detention Center. Her fellow pokeymates say most inmates "have to be bleeding from their eyes" to get into the eight-bed ward, but Hilton was whisked straight into a private room where she sleeps on a comfortable hospital bed and sups on roast beef, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken nuggets and fish. "You know, Lean Cuisine style," a recently released inmate told The Post's Marianne Garvey. She also has a television and is allowed to watch DVDs. If she were in the prison's general population, she would surely sprout "commissary berries" - inmates who glom on to anyone with a little cash who could buy them a $1.50 cheeseburger or an 87-cent Milky Way bar. "If she were with us, somebody'd be pushing up on her," the inmate said. A jail spokesman said Hilton would remain in segregated custody until her undisclosed medical condition has been resolved - "Were taking it day by day." PREGNANT Nicole Set to WED?
NOW that she's pregnant, Nicole Richie is getting hitched, too. The tiny "Simple Life" star and her boyfriend, Joel Madden, showed up for the YSL Pool Party to benefit Center Dance Arts at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday night - and she was conspicuously wearing a huge diamond engagement ring. "It was one big rock surrounded by more diamonds," our source said. Richie refused to talk about the ring. Meanwhile, Madden was "overly attentive to her - keeping his arm around her all night - and repeatedly asked her if she was OK." The cozy couple ate everything on their plates, lobster salad and lamb, but refused all alcohol, which our snarky spy called "a first for her."Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster While in Town for Their Wedding in Santa Margherita - June 16
