She might have it rough these days, but we're still Team Britney. Her new album is fantastic, even if she refuses to promote it. The list of people & media outlets making her life miserable is a mile long, and LMH - Moet Hennessy just joined the ranks.

Back in 2005 Britney released the music video for "Do Somethin", which included a close up shot of LV logo fabric. According to LVMH Louis Vuitton, this closeup is a copyright infringement. No word on when the suit was filed, but we're sure LVMH considered Britney's recent behavior before proceeding with the case.

Not only did Louis Vuitton receive free promotion in a Britney Spears video, but the Parisian court awarded the luxury powerhouse 80,000 euros and banned the video.

On the positive side, Britney's next single from Blackout, "Piece of Me" is already gaining airplay and the video is expected to drop soon.

Gwen Stefani is so busy these days, so it's no surprise she asked her consultant, Zaldy Goco, to step up as head designer for her LAMB clothing line.  Despite Goco lead LAMB to it's most successful seasons to date, he and Stefani have parted ways.  Perhaps it's his extracurricular commitments that have Stefani sore.

Zaldy Goco has a myriad of projects currently on his plate, from styling for such celebrities as Scissor Sisters, Stefani herself, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Mary J Blige, image consulting for MAC and DKNY, as well as styling for various productions.  “I think he just had too much going on for Gwen,” said a source.  What, no one else can be as supergirl as Gwen?

--Ouch! Cathy Horyn was snubbed again and denied access to the Carolina Herrera show for a second season in a row. Probably because Horyn called Herrera's collection "remarkably irrelevant". [Via WWD]

--Double Ouch! The Fug Girls last out against the circus that Heatherette unleases in the tents every season. "The clothes, which they don't even sell anywhere, are just a flimsy excuse for a big, fun party. Richie Rich and Traver Rains wormed their way into the system and are exploiting the hell out of it for their own amusement." [Via NY Mag]

--Heatherette just keeps pushing the envelope. Apparently the after party needed a little more lubricant--and cocktails. KY's new "Intrigue" lubricant was handed out to party guests. Nice. [Via WSJ]

--The models are too thin, and the press is too fat. At least, that is the message coming across after inspecting the contents of the press bags. [Via The Beauty Addict] or [Via NY Mag]

--It wouldn't be a complete list of Fashion Week disasters if Britney Spears weren't making an appearance, right? Miss Spears couldn't be bothered to remove the price tag of her dress prior to the Baby Phat show. [Via The Superficial]

Kimora, Kimora, Kimora. The Baby Phat show is always a spectacle, always oozing of glamour. Of course, Fall/Winter was no exception. A page taken from Russia, and evening gowns that could have been mistaked for Versace strolled down the runway, complete with mettalics, layered necklaces and ankle boots. If it was skin tight and shiny, it was on the Baby Phat runway. Furry hats, furry boots and furry bags completed the Russian fantasy. I'm completely convinced Kimora Lee Simmons sleeps in an evening gown. View the entire collection here.

Guess who showed up to sit front row? None other than Lil Kim and Britney Spears.
