Britney Spears celebrated her birthday last night at the Scandinavian Mansion of Style with her friends Alli Sims and Sam Lutfi. Britney turned age 26 today, December 2.

Apparently Paris Hilton was there too, but she bailed on Britney before going to the after-party. The two left Scandinavian together, but after Britney pulled away in her car, Paris put on makeup and then went back into the party. Ouch - was she really just pretending to leave with her? That’s just wrong - and on the girl’s birthday!

Also at Scandinavian, but not necessarily for Britney’s birthday, were Sharon Stone, Claus Hjelmbak, Lady Victoria Hervey, Brittny Gastineau, and Casey Johnson. I’m sure they loved being there on the same night as Britney - who wouldn’t love a show like that?

Spears got a free fur jacket at the party and received some platinum jewelry for her birthday. Rumor has it she also left with a good looking young man who came back to her hotel. Does the girl ever sleep at home? She’s always at a hotel.

She tells American magazine In Touch, "Every time I'm not wearing my ring, people think I'm getting divorced. That's crazy. It just didn't go with the dress.

"Divorce is not and was never an option."The couple has been dogged by break-up reports for weeks, with one U.S. tabloid claiming Lopez and Anthony will announce a break-up publicly on St. Valentine's Day (14Feb09). Publicists for the couple have dismissed the report as "nonsense".Lopez's music mogul pal Benny Medina tells the publication, "Jennifer and Marc are committed to the future and to each other."

Jennifer Lopez Biography

This is her, now. She is a fireball of energy—unstoppable, unshakeable, and ferociously ambitious. She is immensely talented and not afraid of a challenge. She is Jennifer Lopez. This singer/songwriter/actress, renown as much for her effortless talent as for her striking and radiant beauty, has never been one to rest on her laurels. Since the early 90s, when she appeared as a Fly Girl on Fox's seminal sketch comedy show, "In Living Color," she has been in perpetual motion. Starring roles in movies like "Selena," and "Out of Sight," "The Wedding Planner," (debuting at number one) and most recently, "Maid In Manhattan" (debuting at number one). For a time, the only thing missing was the music—something that has been a part of Jennifer's life since her early days in the Castle Hill section of The Bronx.
