Robin Antin & Britney Spears: Click to watchShe's already got an affinity for burlesque gear, but could Britney Spears become the next Pussycat Doll?

TMZ cameras caught the freshly-toned pop star arriving to her North Hollywood dance studio yesterday, moments after Pussycat founder Robin Antin was seen leaving the very same place. A surprise Britney concert is rumored to be happening in Los Angeles this week, so the star-crossing is probably not a coincidence.

TMZ spoke with the PCD honcho herself this morning, who said that while she "loves Brit," Antin wasn't there to train her. "I would have given her the thumbs-up though, she looks amazing!"

YouTube eBay win Oscars of the Internet

Video sharing website YouTube, the eBay online auction community and rock icon David Bowie were among the winners announced Tuesday of this year's Webby Awards, the so-called "Oscars of the Internet."

The awards honour online excellence and are considered the leading international gongs for websites, interactive advertising and online video.

YouTube co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, who came up with the idea of people posting video clips on a shared website, were to receive the Webby person of the year award for the fantastically successful site.

YouTube had played a key role in "transforming the media landscape and reshaping everything from politics to pop culture," the Webby organizers said.

Rock legend David Bowie was to pick up a lifetime achievement award for pushing the boundaries of art and technology with UltraStar, his digital media company that creates online content for The Rolling Stones and The Police.

Ex-CIA chief denies US uses torture

WASHINGTON: Former CIA director George Tenet on Sunday heatedly denied allegations that US interrogators have used torture to extract information from prisoners in the so-called US war on terror.

The image thatÕs been portrayed is, we sat around the campfire and said, ÔOh, boy, now we go get to torture people.Õ Well, we donÕt torture people. Let me say that again to you. We donÕt torture people. Okay? Tenet told the CBS news show 60 Minutes.

Come on, George, replied interviewer Scott Pelley, who questioned Tenet repeatedly during a tense exchange about accusations of torture, many from terror suspects held at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We donÕt torture people, Tenet answered.

Waterboarding? Pelley asked, referring to a process whereby water is continually poured over a detaineeÕs face and mouth, causing a sharp gag reflex.

We do not -I donÕt talk about techniques, Tenet replied.

ItÕs torture, Pelley said.

You call it in the book, Ôenhanced interrogation,Õ Pelley said. IÕm not having a semantic debate with you. IÕm telling you what I believe, Tenet answered.

Bush sexual fantasy White House Madam

Deborah Palfrey has members of Washington's who's who quivering over her determination to name names.

DEBORAH Jeane Palfrey ran her high-end sexual fantasy business in a way carefully designed to keep the feds at bay.

In quintessential Washington style, the District of Columbia madam solicited male clients who paid up to $US300 ($A360) an hour and hired about 130 subcontractors Ñ women aged from 23 to 55 Ñ under detailed employment agreements that required them to perform only lawful acts.

Now, rather than keep her clients secret, she has decided to unmask them Ñ in the name of her legal defence. And she has elicited the help of America's ABC News to do it, turning over 21 kilograms of phone records, with "thousands and thousands" of clients that, she promises, reach "high into the echelons of power in the United States".

Randall Tobias, the Bush Administration's "AIDS tsar", abruptly resigned last week after acknowledging that he had used Palfrey's service, "but only to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage".

Mr Tobias, who oversaw global AIDS funding, was charged with enforcing a controversial policy that required groups to denounce prostitution and sex trafficking in order to get federal HIV/AIDS prevention money. He told ABC there was "no sex" and he switched from Palfrey's shop to one "with Central American gals".

White House Sex Scandal on Capitol Hill

She looks the picture of a demure businesswoman, with her dark hair, navy suit and horn-rimmed spectacles. But Deborah Palfrey's business involved sexual favours - and now she's ready to kiss and tell. Rupert Cornwell explains why

In Washington they call it "Taking out the trash" time - the dead hours of late Friday afternoon when a government department dumps an embarrassing piece of news, hopeful it will be overlooked by the Saturday papers and otherwise lost and forgotten amid the pleasures of the weekend. And last Friday provided a classic of the genre.

At 5.30pm the surprise news came over the wires: Randall Tobias, 65, a deputy secretary of state in charge of US foreign aid programmes and a former chairman of the Eli Lilly pharmaceutical company, had resigned "for personal reasons", effective immediately. The ritual tributes flowed in. "A rich legacy on which he can look back with justifiable pride," declared Sean McCormack, spokesman for Condoleezza Rice. A couple of hours later the sensational truth emerged. Mr Tobias, by all accounts a much-liked figure, had quit because his name was about to surface in a long-simmering scandal about a high-class prostitution business in Washington DC, run by a woman based in California, whose clients may have included some of the biggest names in town.

Bush Sex Fantasies on DC madam prostitution list

More Bush Administration officials on 'DC madam' list

Brian Ross of ABC News reported Monday morning on the mounting scandal from the records of the so-called "DC madam." Ross said many prominent DC figures can be found on the list of clients for the escort service, which has emerged in the course of the trial of its operator, Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

"It's a long list, we've been going through the phone records for the last four years provided for us by Jean Palfrey," Ross reported on Monday morning. "There are some very prominent people, lobbyists, lawyers, members of the military, other people in the Bush administration."
Palfrey, 50, dubbed the DC Madam in local media, has been arraigned in federal court on charges of operating a Washington prostitution service for 13 years, until her retirement in 2006.

Palfrey has denied she ran a prostitution ring. Her company, Pamela Martin and Associates, was simply a "high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behavior and did so without incident during its 13 year tenure," she said.
Palfrey contends her escort service provided university educated women to engage in legal game-playing of a sexual nature at 275 dollars an hour for a 90 minute session, the Washington Post reported.

But Palfrey has also hinted that she has a record of the phone numbers of thousands of more than 10,000 customers that could embarrass more the a few of the US capital's high-fliers.
Friday, the US State Department announced that Randall Tobias, the embattled head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), was resigning for unspecified personal reasons.
