Flores claims that on one occasion Britney flashed him. The suit alleges, "She was wearing a white lace, see-through dress.

In another instance, Britney reportedly called Flores to her room where he found her naked. The suit says, "After an awkward silence during which Britney just stood naked before Flores, Flores asked Spears if she needed anything.

She allegedly told onlookers, "Mind your own f**king business."

She continued, "Is she okay? Are they both okay? I don't know who hit who." She apologized to the audience for stopping the show and added, "I just don't want you to fight. This is all about love . . . and happiness."

Newkirk told the Daily News, "Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body."

The source said, "Justin couldn't go on. He hit the bed and virtually passed out. I think he was wiped out physically and mentally. He crashed. The vicious work treadmill finally caught up with Justin the night he cancelled. He gives every show his all, but he suddenly got light-headed and very woozy. He had to go to bed because he felt dizzy. The kid is seriously fatigued."

The insider added, "Justin puts on a brave front for the cameras, but he's still weak, and doctors insist that he rest more . . . or else he risks another collapse. But he can't -- or won't -- because he doesn't want to disappoint his mom, his manager or his fans."

MICHAEL DOUGLAS DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP CANCER A SECRET: Michael Douglas's light interview on The Late Show last week probably came as no surprise to his loved ones, because they knew the actor never intended to keep quiet about his cancer battle. He told Parade.com, "Not going public with having cancer was not much of an option, even if I had objected. When you are a celebrity, nothing remains secret for very long. If it helps bring attention, then that is a major upside to this whole thing. Millions of families are going through the same thing my family and I are now going through. If I can bring any relief or encouragement, that's the good news." He's dealing with the stage four diagnosis well, explaining, "Life is not all ha-ha-ha. But I'm in good spirits. I'm an optimistic guy. Nothing has deterred me from my belief that I am going to beat this. My doctors' prognosis is for a full recovery. I have no reason to doubt them."

Still, she refuses to call herself bisexual, explaining, "I don't really like labels. I'm trying to keep that part of my life as private as possible. Let's just say I'm interested in sexuality."

Danielle took aim at her former co-stars -- namely Teresa Giuduce, who she said "needs a hairline revision," Staub continued, "Planet of the Apes has nothing on her! She reminds me of Cornelius from Planet of the Apes. Could you imagine if her face is that hairy what her body hair must be like?"

It's official: Piers Morgan is replacing Larry King on CNN. The network is launching a primetime interview program in January hosted by the America's Got Talent judge.

He said in a statement on Wednesday, "I am thrilled to be joining CNN, and very much looking forward to bringing my own style of interviewing to the world's biggest, and best, TV news organization. As a young journalist in Britain, I watched CNN's astonishing live coverage of the 1991 Gulf War, and felt enthralled by the courage and brilliance of the journalists involved in that coverage. Years later, I watched Anderson Cooper's visceral reports from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and felt equally enthralled by his passionate and relentless search for the truth. Perhaps most pertinently, I have watched Larry King Live for much of the last 25 years, and dreamed of one day filling the legendary suspenders of the man I consider to be the greatest TV interviewer of them all."

Morgan was previously the editor of the UK's Daily Mirror and hosts the interview series, Piers Morgan's Life Stories. The Hollywood Reporter announced that he'll continue on as host of Life Stories and as a judge on America's Got Talent.

He recently confirmed the AGT extension, saying, "Well obviously the only thing that would stop me is the potential horror of having to sit next to Howie Mandel for four more months. But once I've got over that terrifying prospect, then the answer is that I will definitely 100% be back judging Americas Got Talent."

Morgan said that his ideal first guest would be President Obama, explaining, "I think Obama is someone who is going through a pretty tough time. Outside of America, people love him."

As for his predecessor, Piers said, "The guy's a legend. I'm not going to try and replace Larry King. I'm about trying to just do my thing. I'm not afraid of breaking news. I can go from light to shocking."

King's last day will be December 16th.

Jane Fonda looks great at 72 -- and she admits she's had help. The star told Entertainment Tonight, "I recently had plastic surgery. It was a hard decision to make, and I decided if I'm going to do it, I'm going to tell the truth. I'm writing a book about aging, so I can't write that book and not say I've had plastic surgery."

She added, "And you know, I just decided it was for me -- I don't want to have bags under my eyes that make me look tired, and so forth and so on."

Fonda, who has two new fitness DVDs coming out, said the key to her youthful look is, "I'm careful about how I eat. I stay active. I walk a lot. I have good genes -- and money."

Exercise, she noted, is a necessity: "I have a new hip. I have a new knee, and I'm going to soon be bionic. If I don't stay active my body stops functioning."

The man who tried to blackmail David Letterman is trying to get back into the TV business. Robert "Joe" Halderman, who was released from jail last week after serving four months of a six-month sentence, is ready to put the matter behind him and move on with his life.

Halderman's lawyer said, "His plan for the future is to simply re-enter the world of news and television since that's been his whole life, and his prospects look good to get back. Some doors may be shut, but he's very talented."

Halderman was nominated for an Emmy this year for his work on an episode of CBS' 48 Hours Mystery. It's unclear whether or not he'll attend the September 27th awards presentation.

The Hollywood Reporter noted that Halderman's plea agreement prohibits him from disclosing anything about the Letterman incident, but there's nothing that prohibits him from re-entering the TV industry -- unless Letterman actively tries to block him. His lawyer, however, said that's unlikely. He explained, "It's in the best interests of everyone involved to put this matter behind and move on."

Brooke's rep Elliot Mintz confirmed to TMZ that his client is attending an "intensive, physical fitness program in Southern California."

He noted that she's not in rehab or any type of "stress management facility."
