Earlier this week, British boy band The Wanted called Christina Aguilera names, and now they're going after Britney Spears. During a different radio interview, the boys claimed that they weren't allowed to even look at the pop star when they opened for her. The group complained that they were told to turn and face the wall as she passed by, though one member backtracked and said that she was "so down-to-earth" when they met her. Since the interview, a rep for Spears released a statement saying, "What's even more interesting than the false allegations they made is the fact that they have claimed to be picked on by two female pop stars in just a few days. Look out Lady Gaga — there are still three days left this week."

Stained and rotted teeth are the least of Lindsay Lohan's problems as the prosecutor in her shoplifting case will recommend jail for the star at a hearing later this morning, claiming that getting fired from her gig at the Downtown Women's Center is a violation of her probation.
