Britney's Latest Pal -- A Chair?
Britney Spears had another rotating circus of pap pals this weekend -- as TMZ observed earlier -- but last night, it looks like she got hot and heavy with an inanimate object: a chair.
The owner of Millennium Dance Complex tells People that Brit was in doing "choreography" for her song "Hot as Ice," and that Spears "rehearsed an amazing routine with a chair." She spent nearly three hours at Millennium, and asked for a pap named Filipe when she left.
Earlier, she was at Petco, getting dog food and a birdcage. Looks like she'll surround herself with just about any life form these days.

Obama and Rudy, naturally, are at pretty much the opposite ends of the political spectrum.
But Oprah's rep says, "It's a non-issue. The political affiliations of our hosts are their personal choice."
