Joined by their very fertile wives, two-thirds of the hit 90s boy band Hanson showed up on Tuesday night in Los Angeles for a screening of ‘Darfur Now’ at the Directors Guild of America.

Taylor Hanson and wife Natalie and Zac Hanson and wife Kate were all smiles as they hit up the star-studded red carpet last night to catch a showing of the Ted Braun-directed documentary which examines the genocide in Sudan’s western region of Darfur.

Other celeb attendees included Jessica Biel, Thandie Newton and activist Adam Sterling.

During last night’s ‘Larry King Live’, womanizing magician Criss Angel finally revealed just what went wrong during Britney Spears’ humiliating MTV Awards performance last month.

He says: “Well, I was working with Britney on the MTV Awards where she was going to perform. And I was asked by my manager, Dave Baram, who was also managing her career with Jeff Kwatinetz for a short time, to help put something together. So I met with Britney. We discussed something. Everybody loved what we came up with. But it required a tremendous amount of work and a dedication that Britney decided to not want to put forth and do something that she felt would be better suited for her. And I completely understand that and it’s totally, you know, cool.”

As for whether Criss was embarrassed for Britney? “You know, she — I understand what she goes through in her life. She lives under a microscope. And it’s unbelievable to see what this girl — it’s difficult to watch. And so I really feel for her. I really want the best for her. I want her to be happy. I want her to be — feel complete. And, you know, if she is happy with her performance, I guess that’s what matters.”

Meanwhile, new reports claim that Britney will have very little to do with the promotion of her comeback album. And by “very little” I mean nothing at all.

The singer’s label has officially given up on getting the troubled pop tart more involved in marketing her own album, “Blackout,” sources tell us.

There are no plans for a tour, for example - highly unusual for a star who once cranked out hits like widgets and is riding high on the charts with her single “Gimme More.”

“They can’t get Britney to do anything!” said a source close to the label and Spears. “They did get her to do one photo-shoot for some promotional materials, but beyond that, they can’t trust her to even show up. This album could’ve been so much bigger with Britney involved.

“This is the one opportunity they have to try and sell a million records. They were forced to [go on with] their marketing plan” — without her.

Hey, nobody complains about the fact that her songs are created without her so I don’t wanna hear a word about Britney’s lack of promo participation!

Following the flops of her latest flick, ‘El Cantante’, and her latest album, ‘Brave’, J.Lo’s next film is going straight to video!!

‘Bordertown’ - where she plays a reporter probing the murders of female factory workers in Mexico - will hit video stores in January.

As you may recall, La Lopez broke down into tear when the movie premiered earlier this year to resounding boos and hisses at the Berlin International Film.

Let’s just hope Lopez returns to the one thing she’s actually good at — selling us stuff we don’t need!

Check out the newly released trailer for Angelina Jolie’s new movie, ‘Wanted.’

Angelina Jolie + Morgan Freeman + James McAvoy = silverscreen genius. Can’t wait!

All the Spice Girls are gearing up for their winter tour and Victoria Beckham is no different.

The self-proclaimed fashion icon reportedly spent eight hours in a hairdressing salon in LA over the weekend getting her previous blonde hairdo turned back into the chic bob that she made famous during the Spice days.

Next stop? A meeting with the group’s choreographer to master Posh Spice’s trademark wide-leg stance peace sign.

What do you get when you combine equal parts of world renowned athlete with equal parts pint-sized fashionista? A budding new relationship apparently.

Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen were spotted cuddling at NYC’s Rose Bar, where they reportedly kissed and the twin sat on the cyclist’s lap.

Our bar spy said, “They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m.” Armstrong has been spending more time in town since he bought a home here. Another source said, “He tried to make Tory (his ex-girlfriend) happy when they were dating by buying a place here, but she couldn’t deal with him not actually living in the same city, so they broke up.” Olsen’s rep didn’t return calls.

No word on whether this is just a fling or something more. But if you ever see Ashley on a bike with her oversized Birkin in one hand and a Venti soy latte in the other, you know it’s getting serious!

Actress-turned-renaissance woman Angelina Jolie is all smiles as she arrives at the The International Women’s Media Foundation’s 18th Annual Courage in Journalism Awards held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA on Tuesday night.

Looks like a little caffeine and some real estate makes Britney Spears a very happy girl.

After stopping off at a local pizza parlour for a greasy slice and a superized soft drink (malnutrition anyone?), the four-eyed comeback diva went househunting in Hermosa Beach, CA yesterday. After inspecting various castles for an hour, the princess of pop hopped back into her carriage and rode off for — what else? — a tanning appointment.

You know, between the custody battle and the constant changing of residences, Britney’s kids are gonna be less well-adjusted than the Brangelina brood!!
