Analyst: Britney Spears Recording Was Doctored

The Britney Spears tape upon which Jason Alexander claims his ex-wife detailed the beating she took at the hands of Jason Trawick appears to be bogus. Alexander told Star that Spears’ boyfriend beat her up , and she didn’t call the cops because she feared a leak. He then leaked the tape to Radar Online . But a highly-respected audio expert tells TMZ that Jason Alexander’s tape of Britney Spears “has been electronically stepped on,” i.e. doctored. A lot. Britney and Jason in a show of public solidarity yesterday . Tom Owen of OWL Investigations is Chairman of the Audio Engineering Society Standards Committee of Forensic Audio. He says the tape was altered , badly. So much so, he can’t even do a meaningful voice-recognition test. Owen says the tape has been “stepped on at least 3 times” with noise reduction, equalization and removal of aspects like timbre, sibilance and tonal qualities. So did Alexander get punked or was he in on this from the get-go? Regardless, the expert says Britney Spears has a “very vanilla voice” and with modest manipulation it wouldn’t be difficult to make someone sound like her. Kind of explains all the crappy Britney clones in music, on a side note. Britney’s manager, Larry Rudolph, adamantly denies it’s her on the tape and may take legal action. For her part, Spears went to Trawick’s office yesterday. She spent time with Jason inside the William Morris Entertainment building, where he works as an agent (formerly her agent), left by car, then returned. All in full view of the media, surely as a public showing of solidarity. Jason Trawick was also seen outside the building and appearing calm, rather than nervous or ducking for cover. He is equally adamant the tape is bogus.

Britney Spears Abuse Claim Denied By Manager; Jason Alexander Tape Denounced as Fake

Earlier today, Star Magazine released an inflammatory story alleging, blatantly, that Jason Trawick beat up Britney Spears , who was pregnant at the time. The singer’s manager, Larry Rudolph, denies the report and slams the tabloid for what he calls a “fabricated” story. He says he plans to take legal action. On top of the Star story, Radar Online posted a tape purportedly of Spears chatting with her ex, Jason Alexander, about the alleged attack by Trawick. CALLING BS : Britney’s manager says she wasn’t abused . Alexander asks, “I thought he proposed to you or something at the beach.” The person, claming to be Spears, replies: “Before or after he beat me?” That on the heels of a tabloid cover with the headline: “Jason Beat Me Up.” “It’s 100 percent not true,” Rudolph says. “The recording is not Britney.” Jason Alexander swears it is, and it’s explosive. “I mean, why isn’t he in jail baby?” Spears’ ex-husband is heard asking her, or someone claiming to be her, about the alleged attack on the tape. Because I didn’t want the public knowing about it and I didn’t want to file anything, so everyone could find out,” the supposed Spears replies. “So I’ve just left him and changed my number.” The leaked tape has ignited a firestorm. Alexander swears: “I completely stand behind my story. That is absolutely my ex wife Britney Spears.” “I grew up with her since I was in fourth grade and I know what she sounds like. She has been calling me off and on for years.”

Kim Kardashian is the Human Bathroom of the Day

This is actually funny to me. It is rare that this celebrity bullshit I write about every day ever makes me laugh… There’s just not campaign that makes more sense for a celebrity to be endorsing…you know it is so appropriate that you’d expect to see this on some stupid sketch comedy shot and not in real life…it is one of those things you’d think she’d have turned down and fired her agent for the sick joke when it landed on her desk and read “you will be promoting the Charmin toilet paper’s Bathroom” campaign, in a “come on guys, the jokes getting old” kinda way, you know because she is a fucking bathroom at least when she’s filming a sex tape….and that she’s had more black man urine on her than the toilets at Cook County Jail or pretty much all prisons combined for that matter…cuz getting pissed on is just the kind of degrading she loves…not that I am against pissing on girls…I’ve done it many fucking times….but I’ve never been able to organize a special event sponsored by a toilet paper company to draw attention to the fact that bitch likes being pissed on…I’m not a celebrity with big budgets and I don’t now corporations down to co-brand with a porn slut in unprotected sex videis, but I have pointed and laughed at the slut when introducing her to my friends. Either way, this is one of those you can’t write jokes better than this, I mean unless you’re the marketing exec who snuck this one in without anyone noticing…good work….she just looks like she feels so at home….like she’s finally found her calling….like she’s one step closer to be an honorary toilet from the toilet paper people…It is like winning the World Series or more appropriate Superbowl in her field…get it? Yeah, I know I’m a genius…

Michael Shannon Talks Boardwalk Empire with Movieline

HBO’ s sprawling Boardwalk Empire is a character actor aficionados dream come true; after all, the lead is Steve Buscemi. So it isn’t all that surprising to see someone like Michael Shannon killing scenes on a weekly basis. The very definition of “that guy” — having appeared in everything from Revolutionary Road to World Trade Center to Bad Boys II — Shannon stars as Agent Nelson Van Alden, a G-Man looking to keep both alcohol sales and his sexual desires bottled up during the era of Prohibition. The Oscar-nominated star rang up Movieline to discuss his role, the way Boardwalk Empire treats its ladies, and just what he made of that now infamous self-flagellation scene .

GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING: TSA Now Putting Hands Down Fliers’ Pants

The TSA’s invasive new screening measures include officers literally putting their hands down people’s pants if they are wearing baggy clothing in a shocking new elevation of groping procedures that have stoked a nationwide revolt against privacy-busting airport security measures. Forget John Tyner’s “don’t touch my junk” experience at the hands of TSA goons in San Diego recently, another victim of Big Sis was told by TSA officials that it was now policy to go even further when dealing with people wearing loose pants or shorts. Going through airport security this past weekend, radio host Owen JJ Stone, known as “OhDoctah,” related how he was told that the rules had been changed and was offered a private screening. When he asked what the procedure entailed, the TSA agent responded, “I have to go in your waistband, I have to put my hand down your pants,” after which he did precisely that. Stone chose to conduct the search in public in the fear that the TSA worker would be even more aggressive in a private room. “If you’re wearing sweat pants or baggy clothing, I was wearing sweat pants they’re not baggy, they’re sweat pants,” said Stone, adding that the agent pulled out his waistband before patting his backside and his crotch. Even the TSA agent who put his hands down the man’s pants was embarrassed at what he had been told to do by his superiors, apologizing profusely to the victim. A 54-year-old Missouri City man experienced similar treatment when he was going through security at Fort Lauderdale Airport. Thomas Mollman was subject to a groping by a TSA officer that was tantamount to sexual molestation. “I was wearing shorts at the time – between the underwear, right on the skin, all the way around the back, all the way around my front, 360 degrees, touched inappropriately,” he said. “This was an assault. This was no different than a sexual assault,” said KTRK Legal Analyst Joel Androphy. The level of abuse appears to be getting worse on an almost daily basis. First TSA agents use the back of their hands, then they outright grope you with the front, and now they are being trained to put their hands down traveler’s pants. What’s next? Mandatory bodily probes? Even as the resistance to airport oppression grows, Big Sis and the TSA are responding by making the pat down procedures more invasive. Napolitano has figuratively said to the American people ‘let them eat cake’ as she slaps them in the face. Given the fact that the TSA’s own woeful background checks for their own employees allows rapists and pedophiles to get jobs as pat down agents, will you allow TSA workers to put their hands down the pants of your daughter or wife? added by: GLOBALPOLITICAL

Postcard from Venice: Vincent Gallo Keeps His Promises, François Ozon Scores With Stars

It’s a chilly, overcast day in Venice, and as I walk along the Lido down Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, peering over the tall hedges that separate the street from the sea, the water looks gray and foreboding. What a pretentious-sounding sentence that is! But then, I’ve just come from seeing artiste Vincent Gallo’s Promises Written in Water, one of two pictures Gallo is presenting at the festival. The other is a short ( The Agent ), and Gallo also appears as an actor in another film in competition, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski’s Essential Killing.
