Britney Spears Barred From Oscars

Femalefirst.co.uk reports that Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson are among the host of stars barred from attending the Oscars this weekend, to reportedly prevent the evening from turning into a “downmarket scrum.” A source explained, “Britney would have wanted her entourage with her, but the Academy wanted to keep things as tight and as highbrow as possible. They plan to focus on those people who have worked in the film industry for years – not people who are merely celebrities in other areas.”
