Tattle: Britney's song a no-no, parents group says

WHEN TATTLE was a Tattbit, a riotous riddle made the rounds of our second- grade class.

Q: Who invented the bikini?

A: Seymour Hair.

That dopey joke, so similar to a host of slightly rude punchlines pre-teens find so funny, was recalled yesterday for the first time in ages when word came in to the Tattle Indecency Bureau that the Parents Television Council has branched out into radio, cautioning parents and radio stations across the country about the new Britney Spears song "If You Seek Amy."

Say it fast a few times and it'll sound like something that would have made you giggle on the school playground before you got hauled into the principal's office.

That Britney. So clever, witty and urbane. It's like Cole Porter has returned with the mind of Bart Simpson.

Anyway, the PTC says that broadcasting the song between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. would violate the broadcast indecency law.

The song makes repeated use of the following line: "All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy."

Read it slowly and it doesn't even make any sense.

"This may sound Yogi Berra-ish, but Britney's song is a double-entendre with only one meaning," said PTC President Tim Winter. "There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song; and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy."

As much as we hate censorship, we also hate it when organizations like the PTC actually have a point.

* Taken to the next extreme,

you get the Florida Family Association, which is mad at the AARP for taking an ad promoting a "Better Sex"-improvement video for those of retirement age.

Heaven forbid.

Razzies love 'Guru'

Mike Myers' comedy flop "The Love Guru" led the field yesterday for the Razzies with seven nominations, among them worst picture and worst-acting slots for Myers, Jessica Alba, Verne Troyer and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley.

"This is one of those auteur-of-the-awful situations," John Wilson, founder of the Razzies, said of Myers. "I think people are tired of him in general. He hasn't really made a good movie in quite some time."

The other worst-picture contenders were "Disaster Movie" and "Meet the Spartans," Hollywood spoofs that shared a nomination for a "badly beaten dead horse of a concept"; the fright flick "The Happening"; the Paris Hilton mega-bomb "The Hottie & the Nottie"; and the sword-and-sorcery fantasy "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale."

Razzie "winners" will be announced Feb. 21, the day before the Oscars.

Hilton had three nominations including worst actress and worst supporting actress for "Repo! The Genetic Opera."

Eddie Murphy, who had three wins last year for "Norbit," has two nominations this time, as worst actor and as screen couple for dual roles in his sci-fi comedy dud, "Meet Dave."

Cameron Diaz also picked up two Razzie nominations for "What Happens in Vegas," as worst actress and worst couple, alongside Ashton Kutcher.

Along with Kingsley, Oscar winner Al Pacino had a worst-actor nomination for "88 Minutes" and "Righteous Kill."

The stars of "The Women" - Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith and Meg Ryan - shared a worst-actress nomination. Joining them, Alba, Diaz and Hilton in the worst-actress category was Kate Hudson for "Fool's Gold" and "My Best Friend's Girl."

Besides Murphy, Myers and Pacino, worst-actor nominees were Larry the Cable Guy for "Witless Protection" and Mark Wahlberg for "The Happening" and "Max Payne."

Park City purchases

The Hollywood Reporter says the boutique parts of the Hollywood studios have begun to spend a few (and we mean a few) bucks at the Sundance Film Festival.

Fox Searchlight made its first buy late Monday night, Max Mayer's romantic comedy "Adam," starring Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy.

"An Education," a period coming-of-age story directed by Lone Scherfig and written by Nick Hornby, sold to Sony Pictures Classics for a price in the $3 million-$4 million range for North American and select Latin American rights.

Lionsgate also made a buy, picking up "The Winning Season," James Strouse's tale of a high-school girls' basketball team starring Sam Rockwell.

Tattbits

* It may seem like Barack

Obama is everywhere, but he's not in the classic Disney World attraction, the Hall of Presidents.

Not yet, at least.

The Hall will be closed until July for renovations, but when it reopens Obama will join the other animatronic American leaders.

* Speaking of Disney World, the

next big attraction will be an "American Idol" pavilion opening in February where park guests can either watch an "Idol"-like show or try to audition for the show.

That reminds us that besides the Kelly Clarkson album due soon, an album by "Idol" champ Taylor Hicks, "The Distance," drops March 10.

* Matt Dillon pleaded not

guilty yesterday to a Dec. 30 speeding charge in Vermont in which he's accused of doing 106 mph on an interstate highway.

Dillon's attorney, Mark Kaplan, of Burlington, entered the plea on behalf of Dillon.

In an affidavit filed with the Vermont District Court in Chelsea, a state trooper said Dillon was apologetic and cooperative.

"I screwed up, I know, I know," the affidavit quoted Dillon as saying as a trooper approached his car.

Because Dillon was allegedly traveling more than 30 mph over the posted 65-mph speed limit on the interstate, he was charged with criminal negligent operation.

One of Dillon's screen credits: "Crash." *
