1. FOR SALE: California estate with six bedrooms, six bathrooms, three garages and a media room. Britney Spears' LA mansion is now available for $7.9 million via Sotheby's Realty.

2. Not exactly rave reviews for Vincent Gallo's band RRIICCEE who played last night at Hiro Ballroom, including this one posted on Brooklyn Vegan: "The worst show I have ever seen in my life. I seriously do not think that anyone in the band actually knows how to play an instrument."

3. David Blaine is catching major flack for his latest trick/gimmick/stunt. His publicists, Rubenstein Associates, probably made things worse by noting that no claim was ever made that he would hang upside down for 60 hours "without a break."

4. Yankee fans take note: Your stadium is not gone forever. Check out a smaller version here. Also, there is lots of stadium "dirt" available on eBay.

5. More on the Diesel xXx "Rock & Roll Circus": PAPER fave Joey Arias is going to be the event's "ringmaster" and the date is Saturday, October 11, at Pier 3 on the Brooklyn waterfront.

6. Miami Beach commissioner Jerry Libon is trying to ban smoking on the city's beaches.
