Newsround blog readers know I keep a close eye on the daily gossip page.

On 24 November CBBC Newsround's home page included a link to the gossip page titled "Celeb goss: Who has Britney been partying with?" And the story was this:

Back on the town

It seems Britney has been making the most of being a single girl after her split from Kevin Federline. She was snapped out on the the town with Paris Hilton. They partied at a nightclub after the American Music Awards ceremony.


And then yesterday there was this about Britney:

Looking forward to the future

Rumour has it that Britney Spears has already found herself a new fella! The soon-to-be-divorced mum of two was spotted partying with oil heir Brandon Davis.


So Newsround thinks that when Britney is seen partying with Paris Hilton it's just fun, but when she's spotted partying with someone of the opposite sex she's looking to settle down with a fella. This is all so typical of BBC sexism and heterosexism.

...that seems a tad vicious - accusing the BBC of sexism on the basis of a gossip column.
