Just a bit of celebrity dirt for the end of the year 2007.

Britney’s Gonna Get It! Deposed, That Is
You can run, Britney, but you can’t hide. Show that you really care about your kids by showing up for your next deposition. Stop lying and get help and prove that you’re better than that smug asswipe of an ex-husband.

Sean McEnroe: Like Father Like Son?
John McEnroe was one of the enfant terribles of tennis, and it seems his son with actress Tatum O’Neal, 20-year old Sean, is a lot like dad. When he was refused entry to an NYC nightclub, he threw a fit like dad might do. Dropping dad’s name didn’t help, so Sean fell drunkenly into bags of garbage instead.

Jennifer Garner: The West Virginian
Jennifer Garner was declared the West Virginian of the Year by her “hometown” newspaper in Charleston. Except she’s originally from Texas and moved to West Virginia when she was four. And now she’s in Hollywood. And New York. Okay, okay, so this bit isn’t exactly dirt.

Jennifer Garner is in final negotiations to co-star with Ricky Gervais in the new comedy, “This Side of the Truth.” Garner is currently starring in the Broadway revival of “Cyrano de Bergerac” opposite Kevin Kline and you can catch her in the film, “Juno” in January.  

Gervais is the writer and star of the TV show “Extras,” as well as the original British version of “The Office.”

Set to start filming in the spring with Matthew Robinson directing, “This Side of the Truth” takes place in a world where nobody ever lies. Gervais, who co-wrote the script with Robinson, will play the one man who learns how to fib and uses his unlikely power to get ahead at work and court a woman (Garner) who is way out of his league.
