A Word from the wise


LIZA MINNELLI has offered her support to BRITNEY SPEARS, insisting the troubled star is suffering a "disease". The diva has battled drug addictions in the past, so can sympathise with Spears. Minnelli says, "I just feel horrible for (Britney Spears). You know, she's got a disease. And when you have a disease, you cannot help it. So it's not your fault, but you're responsible for it. I just feel so bad for her because I don't think anybody really understands what's going on." But the Cabaret star is baffled by the publicity Spears' plight has earned her. She tells Florida newspaper the St Petersburg Times, "The way the press is now, she's getting so much attention. Somebody said to me the other day, 'God, you have to go to jail to get a good review.' It's an interesting period. "They used to have clauses and contracts where you can't get bad publicity or you'd get fired. But now bad publicity is good publicity. I just keep working and don't think about it much."

This just smacks of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly (in so many ways, I am sure this is not lost on you!)

you know liza is trying to hatch a plan where she and brit kill off david gest and kevin federline, go to jail, and start their own cell block tango. And if that doesn't work, maybe they'll just hang out with lindsey lohan in rehab and do their show there?
