Question is ...

While lawyers, jurors and reporters hear all about the meltdown of Britney Spears and who's responsible for her drug-fueled downward spiral, Britney was enjoying a frothy drink at Starbucks in Encino.

Check out her boots ... and her bangs.

Britney will not have to take the oath, because the judge in the defamation case has ruled she does not have to testify since she's currently under a conservatorship.

"90210" star Shannen Doherty HAS A BUN IN THE OVEN -- but it's not the baby kind ... it's the burger kind.

Rumors have been swirling today after a photo of Shannen emerged ... in which her stomach was a little more accentuated than usual.

But the actress says there's DEFINITELY NOT a baby in her belly ... just lunch.

She wrote, "I'm a size 2, not sporting a baby bump. That's simply the hamburger I wolfed down 2 minutes prior."

Shannen's little bundle of joy is expected to be delivered in the next couple of hours.

When you're in NYC, you never know who you're going to run into ... like Ethan Hawke and Katie Holmes.

Ethan was hanging out on his stoop with his adorable daughter Indiana on Thursday, when who should just happen to be walking by but none other than Suri Cruise's mom. Don't you just love when that happens?

The two actors -- who both live in the Chelsea neighborhood -- chatted each other up for a bit before Katie went on her merry way.

Britney Spears was in rare form yesterday -- she was actually chatty and friendly!

Early on Wednesday, the sleepy and blemished 28-year-old soon-to-be "X Factor" host was spotted au naturel heading to the gym ... but just a little while later Kim's little sis was almost unrecognizable.

Hulk may have more 'splaining to do.

While underneath a huge umbrella, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stayed dry during a Miami downpour on Monday ... and grabbed each others' badonkadonks.

Jennifer Livingston says she has no hard feelings toward the "bully" who wrote in to her TV station and called her obese ... telling TMZ, "I hope people kinda leave him behind and leave him alone."

Livingston -- a news anchor at CBS WKBT in Wisconsin -- arrived to L.A. this weekend to appear on the "Ellen" show ... where she'll explain why she fired back at a viewer who said she was a bad role model because she doesn't promote a healthy lifestyle.

Jennifer went on the air and blasted the guy ... admitting she is overweight but saying, "You don't know me. You are not a friend of mine. You are not a part of my family ... I am much more than a number on the scale."
