It’s been over a week since anyone has seen troubled rapper Foxy Brown. The controversial rhyme-striss was last spotted June 29 on a flight to London.

Her friends and family are officially worried. So is her lawyer, Jack Sampson:

"We’re all trying to find Foxy."

While this missing celebrity might not be getting as much press as, say, Angelina Jolie would if she vanished, Brown’s absence is more than a little suspicious. Just days before her flight to London, Foxy was the victim of a nasty assault that left her with a broken hearing aid and some torn hair weaves.

Maybe Foxy just needs some time to reflect.

Well, if it’s true and if it was a secret…plan foiled.

Of course, all publicists involved deny the existence of any plans even remotely resembling this clandestine reunion/play date for Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and presumably Shiloh. (Does Shiloh have her own publicist? If not, she should.)

Remember the uproar about Aniston’s last meeting with a member of the Pitt clan?

Yet, Star insists that sources "close to Brad" are reporting many details.

“He’s tried before to meet with Jen, but she’s said no. This time, she asked his mom, Jane, to come with her and Jane said she would. Jane loves Jen like a daughter and thinks this will be healing for both of them.”

Interesting tabloid tale. Why now?

Do we believe this? Not necessarily.

Do we believe that Angelina Jolie won’t consider this a threat to her only biological child and immediately commence with the killing?

No we don’t. We don’t believe it at all. She’s already declared war.

So we’re just going to steer clear of the undisclosed dining establishment.

We prefer to live, thank you.

According to People, Lynne Spears, despite being on the receiving end of a personally delivered nasty-gram, is confident that it will all work out.

"Everything is going to be fine," she told PEOPLE while shopping in Kentwood, La. "I’ve got a strong family, and everything is going to be fine."

Spears, who was picking up groceries at a local store on Sunday, also said that "hopefully" daughter Britney will make it to a family cookout in their hometown for the Fourth of July holiday.

Britney Spears seems to be on a different page than Mama Spears and doesn’t sound like she’s moving toward any reconciliation.

I’m praying for her right now. [I hope] she gets all the help she needs," [Britney] Spears said.

Whether the two can overcome their differences, she said, "In time, who knows what will happen?" Spears also insinuated that she likely would not go to Kentwood for the holiday, saying, "I don’t know. I like it here."

Stalemate?

Nah…

Lynne knows her daughter. She knows her weaknesses, too.

Don’t be surprised if you read on Thursday that Britney was lured to Lynne’s Independence Day Intervention/BBQ by a trail of Cheetos.

Mmmmm….cheesy!

We’d read sketchy reports that Angelina Jolie was peeved that Brad Pitt’s mom had been witnessed visiting Jennifer Aniston, but Life & Style is taking it one step further, calling it a family war.

According to the magazine:

When Angelina Jolie threw Brad Pitt a party for Father’s Day, she was kind enough to invite Brad’s parents. But when his mom, Jane Pitt, left to visit Brad’s ex, Jennifer Aniston, Angie was furious! “When Jane returned to the party, Angelina froze her out,” an insider tells Life & Style in this week’s cover story, “and after the party, Angie and Brad had a huge fight about Jen and how she’s still in Brad’s life.”

Days later, Doug Pitt, Brad’s brother, added insult to injury when he called Jen "a friend of Brad’s." A Pitt family pal says Angie called Doug to tell him to keep his mouth shut — and then called Jane. “Angie is the mother of Jane’s grandchild and feels she deserves more respect,” says a Pitt family insider. “She told her, ‘If you continue to disrespect me and carry on like this, then you won’t see Shiloh.’”

So Angelina’s threatening to withhold visits with the "blob?"

If it’s true, and who knows anymore, it’s a move that would make Britney Spears proud. If Angelina got so mad she tried to file a restraining order against Brad’s family, why, she and Brit-Brit could be BFFs!

Weren’t the Jolie-Pitt’s in Prague for Father’s Day, though? We just can’t keep up with all the globe-trotting.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden may have put plans for a happy little family on the fast track.

TMZ is passing along a rumor that Richie is "shopping around for a wedding dress … asking stylists for help."

E Online is citing an unnamed Richie close friend who confirmed that the star of The Simple Life is, indeed, pregnant.

Terrific timing, too. If she can just find the perfect dress and get this wrapped up before her July 11 trial date, perhaps she’ll petition for spousal conjugal visits.

Maybe Paris Hilton is helping out by scouting Hawaii locales for a quickie, post-clink honeymoon.
