Another day, another blitz of Britney Spears news, which we figure might be easier to swallow in bite-size pieces, so here are the highlights (or lowlights -- your call): Jayden James celebrated his first birthday on Wednesday, but his parents probably weren't in the party mood. People reports the close-to-bottom-hitting starlet and her ex, Kevin Federline, came together for a custody confab with lawyers in tow. "Britney asked for [the meeting]. She wants to put an end to this public debacle," a Spears source tells the mag. "However, Kevin [has] refused. He needs more money so he's determined to win this." Not so, says a K-Fed confidante, insisting, "He's not going for additional child support in the court papers that were filed. It's not about the money."

Meanwhile, Timbaland tells MTV News that Brit better give some good contrition if she ever wants to make a hit record with him and her ex, Justin Timberlake. "She should humble herself and make a phone call and say, 'I'm sorry.' She knows what she's sorry about," he groused. "She needs to say, 'I was wrong,' and it'll definitely move forward. ... That's all she has to say." Seems Timbaland attempted to arrange a collaboration but was rebuffed: "[But instead she got] so big-headed and [was] like, 'Screw you, screw you, I don't need nobody.'"

And finally, the New York Daily News alleges that at 7 a.m. on the day of Spears' now mythical VMA trainwreck, she was given a hand out of Diddy's suite after an all-night party. "She couldn't stand," maintains a spy. "Diddy's people had to get her back to her room as discreetly as possible so nobody would see what state she was in." Not so, insists the mogul's rep, who tells the paper, "She stopped by the party for a while. He offered her a drink, which she refused; she drank water instead. She was not there until 7 a.m."

The next time Lindsay Lohan goes to rehab, she should consider having her fellow patients sign ironclad confidentiality agreements. A little-known musician who supposedly got to know the self-control-lacking starlet at the swanky Cirque Lodge is talking up the connection "exclusively" to "Extra," declaring, "We're great friends." The Chatty Cathy rocker says Linds, who is reportedly due to wrap up her stay in the next week or so, is "getting better every day ... She's very healthy, very positive. She wants to present that to her public, to the people who care about her." And Lindsay's purported new pal shows just how much he cares by turning a story about how they bonded ("She's a musician, so obviously that's some common ground we had," he said, apparently with a straight face) into a bit of blatant self-promotion. He proclaims his outfit, which shall remain nameless so as not to implicate the blabby, her "favorite new band." By the by, when Lohan's buddy checked out of Cirque last month, a press release promoting the release of his band's new video just happened to mention how he'd been "keeping company" with the actress in rehab.

Naomi Watts may have a movie to promote, but she's preoccupied with more important matters, like the care and feeding of newborn son Alexander. "It's so funny. Six weeks after birth and right now, it feels quite strange to be at a press junket and hard to get excited about anything else," the actress, 38, admits to USA Today as she stumps for the thriller "Eastern Promises." "I'm thinking about when's the next feeding, when can I catch up on sleep, when do I pump, when do I file his nails so he doesn't scratch himself. That's my life right now, and I love it. It's consuming me in the best possible way. But I know I'll want to get back into my work, because I love it, and it excites me." Still, Naomi is so enamored with motherhood that she's hoping the pitter-patter of little feet eventually turns into a stampede. "For so long, I thought, 'I can't have a baby now. I've got this to do, that to do. I've got to achieve that and this.' The truth is, this just happened so quickly, and you can still do it," she enthuses to the paper, which says Alexander is a doppelganger for dad Liev Schreiber. "I left it too late. I'd love to have one more. I'd love to have two more. Or three."

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will never be far from one another thanks to the good people in their hometown of Cambridge. The Boston Herald reports the town's city council has decided to dedicate a pair of street corners to the longtime buddies. "We do street dedications around the city for people we want to remember or honor," a council member tells the paper. "It just makes sense to dedicate those two corners to Matt and Ben. They give a lot back to Cambridge in both public and private ways." Among the Oscar winners' philanthropic endeavors: Digging into their deep pockets to help a financially strapped Little League team. But the good karma doesn't end there for Affleck and Damon, who are both currently riding career highs -- the former for his directorial debut "Gone Baby Gone" and the latter for blockbuster "The Bourne Ultimatum." This week, they embarked on a human rights trip to Tanzania.
