KEY POINTS:
Troubled former pop star Britney (or Unfitney as we prefer to call her these days) and her ex-hubby Kevin Federline have come together for their Parenting Without Conflict session, says TMZ.
The parenting class aims to teach Spears and K-Fed how to bring up their children as a divorced couple. A tall order if ever there was one - Brit Brit can't even look after herself, let alone her progeny.
TMZ says: "Sources say Britney was actually looking forward to discussing parenting with her ex - however, after arriving at the location, Brit was distraught and seen bawling like a baby in the bathroom."
Although recommended, it's not mandatory for the parents to take the course together. So I guess it's some consolation that the warring pair has at least made an effort.
The parenting class is one of the many requirements that L.A. judge Scott Gordon imposed on the Toxic singer.
This is only the third time the two have been in the same room together since Britney came out of rehab.
Spears and K-Fed are both due in court this Friday for a progress review.
Life's too short...
Jazz diva Amy Winehouse says that she turned to drink and drugs because she often feels insecure about her looks.
In an interview on her forthcoming tour DVD that Winehouse concedes that she recently went through a "self-destructive" phase that nearly toppled her career.
"I'm quite an insecure person. I'm very insecure about the way I look. I mean, I'm a musician I'm not a model. The more insecure I felt, the more I'd drink.
"And to Tracey Trash, who does my hair, I'd be like, 'Bigger! Bigger!' - like the more insecure I feel, the bigger my hair has to be," she said.
In an effort to downplay her antics, Winehouse concludes that life was "too short" and encourages others to "just do it".
If "it" refers to caning it every night and giving life the one finger salute, I think we can do without Winehouse's philosophical musings.

Introducing Reesenhaal
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal: the new Hollywood super-couple?
Talk to their reps and they'll vehemently deny that there's anything remotely amorous going on between them.
However, we have evidence to the contrary. Take a peek at these photos.
Witherspoon was a guest on the Ellen show this week and she blushed like a naughty schoolgirl when quizzed about her new mate Gyllenhaal.
"He is just wonderful - kind, generous and funny," she said.
Realising she'd been tricked into talking about her man, Witherspoon giggled her way through the remainder of the interview.
The pair has strongly denied a romantic link, but word has it that the pair became very close on the set of their new movie Rendition.
I hate to say it, but I told you so. Gyllenhaal is definitely not on the Priscilla bus.
Paris' trailer trash
The trailer for Paris Hilton's new film Repo: The Genetic Opera has debuted online, and it's a classic.
It's one minute and twenty seconds of outrageous camp featuring a warbling Paris, some bloke from Buffy and Sarah Brightman of the Phantom of The Opera fame.
God only knows what the plotline is, but to be honest, I seriously doubt that anyone involved actually cares; they're all too busy trying to outshowbiz each other.
This is the film that Paris reportedly took acting lessons for. Darling, you wasted your money - your acting is hammier than Miss Piggy's backside.
It's so bad; it's actually brilliant - a bit like Saw meets Rocky Horror.
I smell an Oscar.
Watch the trailer here.
