Whoa! What a beard he’s got going on there! Hopefully it’s for a movie because it’s too hot right now to want to grow a beard that big.

I know this isn’t exactly celeb news, but I know SOME of you watched the game, or your husbands watched it. The Associated Press reports:

With a long, satisfied stare, Bonds watched as the ball sailed over the fence and disappeared into the scramble in the first few rows. Then he raised both arms over his head like a championship prizefighter.

His fists clenched, he took off.

“I knew I hit it,” Bonds said. “I knew I got it. I was like, phew, finally.”

His 17-year-old batboy son, Nikolai, was already bouncing on home plate as Dad rounded third and ran the final 90 feet to make it official. After a long embrace, the rest of the family joined in: his mother, two daughters and wife.

Then the party really got started: fireworks, streamers, banners and a taped message of congratulation from Hank Aaron that played on the stadium’s video board during the 10-minute in-game tribute.

“This record is not tainted at all. At all. Period,” Bonds said, referring to allegations that the new home-run king’s achievement has been overshadowed by claims he has used steroids.

The left-handed Bonds has never tested positive for drug use, and denies having done so knowingly.

According to the highly reputable Star Magazine, the battle between Britney Spears and her mother, Lynne, is getting more heated by the minute – fueled by what sources claim is Brit’s shocking new accusation that her mom slept with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

“In a fit of rage, Britney accused her mom of sleeping with Kevin!” a friend tells Star. “Britney doesn’t know up from down right now. She’s so confused and angry, she told Lynne that she was so backstabbing, that she was probably sleeping with Kevin just to hurt her feelings. Lynne, on the other hand, is deeply hurt that her own daughter would so viciously accuse her of doing something so terrible.”

The bitter feud between Britney and her mom, Lynne Spears has been raging for a while. Sources say the singer blames her mother for talking her into entering rehab last February, and the war between them has been getting nastier ever since.

As Star reported, tempers flared on the weekend of June 15, when Lynne made an unscheduled visit to Brit’s mansion. The pair got into a heated argument that sources say turned into a slapfest! “They were swinging at each other,” says an insider.

Days later, Britney confronted 52-year-old Lynne with legal papers warning her to stay away from her grandsons, say sources. And now sources say that in a fit of anger Brit accused her mother of the ultimate betrayal – sleeping with her 29-ear-old ex!

Lynne’s the first to acknowledge that she’s friends with Kevin and goes to his house to see the kids,” says another insider. “But Lynne would never cross that line with him and has zero desire to do so. She goes there because Britney won’t speak to her or let her visit her grand children. She’s given Lynne no other choice.”

Britney and Kevin have just signed a divorce agreement that give them fifty-fifty custody of their sons. But Brit’s out-of-control behavior – from shaving her head in public to threatening photographers in Las Vegas – has been increasingly erratic. And as Star reported last week, insiders say Kevin is “dead set” on getting full custody.

The stress is just adding to Brit’s already fragile state, sources say. “She can’t seem to cope with anything,” the insider reveals. “She cries and says she feels like everyone is against her. I think she’s extremely paranoid. She buys puppies, because they fulfill some desperate need insider her, but the thrill is short-lived, so she goes back and gets another one. She goes out drinking and clubbing because it anesthetizes her and dulls the pain of fighting with her mom and divorcing Kevin. She can’t see it, but the partying is making it worse. Even though Britney’s friends and family aren’t getting along with her right now, they’re really concerned. One day she’s laughing and bouncing with energy and the next day she’s in despair and in tears.”

And friends believe her outrageous allegation about her mother and Kevin is just more proof that Britney isn’t well. “Her apparent paranoia about her mother and Kevin seems to be a product of her current mental state,” the insider says. “All that Lynne and Kevin hope for right now is that Britney will start seeing a therapist to get to the root of her issues, instead of wildly blaming others for her insecurities.”

Recently photographed looking almost emaciated, Courtney Love is now insisting she’s gaining weight.

In her usual stream-of-consciousness style – which includes relaxed rules for grammar and spelling – the 43-year-old rocker writes this week on her MySpace page (accessible only to her MySpace friends): “ive put on 10 pounds (thank you Sprinkles cupcakes wic h i must admit are overrated).”

Love’s blog also conveys her message that she thinks it’s unfair to single her out for criticism about her weight, USA Today reports.

“I must point out the hypocrisy of this crazy hysteria about my weight…Noones going to mistake me for Eva Longoria, andmy god I am truly hAppy to be who an what i am with my life an dmy expirience i can do so many things help so many people and make such a beautiful clothing line too! and maybe finish this dammed sript one day,” writes Love, who in April claimed to have shed 52 lbs. thanks to a diet of Isopure shakes, fish and vegetables.

Last month, Love’s concert in New York City prompted concerns about her incredibly shrinking frame – and even she even joked about her appearance. Between songs, she took a swig from a protein shake, then apologized to the crowd, saying that she “had to take care of my eating disorder.”

She then said she was joking and declared, “I don’t have an eating disorder.”

Personally I think she’s back on drugs.
