Brittny Gastineau says she was in on the joke when she appeared in Sacha Baron Cohen’s No. 1 comedy Bruno.

In the movie, Bruno interviews Gastineau, 26, and shows her a photo of a sonogram which he says is of Jamie Lynn Spears’ unborn fetus. He then asks her if the fetus looks deformed and if she thinks Spears should abort or keep it. “Abort it!” Gastineau replies.

“I was joking around,” Gastineau now tells Usmagazine.com. “I was spoofing myself.”

When she was first asked to be interviewed by the faux Austrian journalist, “I didn’t know it was him.”

She says she was contacted because her E! show Gastineau Girls is broadcast in 54 different countries in Europe. “I was confused; I thought maybe it was still playing over there,” she says. “So I was like, ‘Ok.’”

“When I got there, I saw him, and I obviously knew it was him,” Gastineau tells Us. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is funny. This is a joke.’ I just went along with it.”

She says her friends and family knew she was kidding as well.

“Everyone knew I wasn’t serious when I said, ‘Abort a baby!’” she tells Us. “I was just playing along. Anyone who is going to see Bruno knows it’s a comedy, and I was totally joking around! I was not serious.”

She says she’s seen the movie and “thought it was amazing.” Cohen, she adds, “is a genius.”

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has split from her much younger longtime beau, chef Alan Wyse.

Her rep tells E! News that the two have been together for five years but decided to go their separate ways “a while ago.”

“They remain friends,” the rep says.

Cattrall, 52, joked that her relationship with Wyse, 32, mirrored her SATC character Samantha Jones’ infamous fling with the much younger Smith Jared.

“When Alan and I first got together three years ago, I was a little embarrassed about how close to the storyline it seemed,” Cattrall told London’s The Daily Telegraph in 2007. “I was dating men closer to my own age, and I thought that Alan would just be a nice little interlude in my life. But he kept calling and pursuing me. And, you know what, I’m not complaining.”

“I’ve discovered that it’s really interesting to be with a man of another generation because he has different ways of looking at the world,” she told the paper.”Plus, irrespective of his age, Alan has a lot of wisdom that comes from just being him.”

At least Cattrall has work to help her cope with the split: The SATC movie sequel is due out May 28, 2010.

If you live in Warsaw, Poland and were getting excited to see Britney Spears bring her Circus tour to your town, bad news: the Polish promoter in charge of the July 24th performance has canceled the show due to a contractual dispute.

A statement on Britney’s official site says the dispute was unable to be resolved, but that “Britney regrets that she will not be visiting Poland’s capital during her world tour. She apologizes to all her loyal fans for the cancellation and hopes to visit the culturally exciting city of Warsaw in the near future.”

More bad news for the outrageous comedy Brüno — Ukraine’s Culture Ministry has banned it, calling the Sacha Baron Cohen hit movie “immoral.”

So what is it that the ministry finds so displeasing? The Associated Press reports that the depictions of sexual organs, homosexual intercourse and language are deemed obscene and improper by Ukraine.

We guess not everybody understands Sacha’s particular brand of in-your-face humor.

Her love life may not have been a focus on The Hills like pal Audrina Patridge, whose on-and-off relationship with Justin Bobby made for more than a few intense moments of drama on the show, but Lo Bosworth recently debuted a new man in her life — off camera.

The MTV starlet arrived at the Verizon Wireless Matt Leinart Foundation event at Lucky Strikes Lanes & Lounge in L.A. on Monday with her new boyfriend, lacrosse player Scott Hochstadt.

“They we’re so cute together,” says an onlooker.

A pal of the pair says, “It’s new but they are both really happy.”

While her pal Lauren Conrad has left The Hills and Audrina is working on a new show of her own, Bosworth is currently filming season 6, which is set to air in the fall and star Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari.

No word yet on whether viewers will catch a glimpse of Bosworth’s relationship with her lacrosse player on the MTV show.

Fans are still celebrating the life of Michael Jackson, 19 days after his tragic death.

One of the largest vigils was held Monday, July 13, in London on that night that Michael was supposed to kick off his comeback tour.

Instead of a concert at the O2 Arena, hundreds of fans came together from around the world and played the King of Pop’s music and lit candles in his memory. “We should have been going to the concert, but we’re standing here instead,” attendee Jester Hauton of Copenhagen told the BBC.

“The main thing is a celebration of Michael,” he added.
