Hello, it's Monday, March 26, 2007 and I'm Rebecca Field with a UPI entertainment update.

Pop star Britney Spears is reportedly trying to get her life back to normal. People magazine says she made her first public appearance since rehab Friday night to take a dance class. She attended a one hour hip hop lesson before heading to a sushi restaurant with 3 girlfriends. The teacher of the class tells the magazine Spears looks fantastic. The singer completed rehab last week after nearly a month of treatment.

The animated adventure of 4 turtles is a huge hit at U.S. box offices. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" grabbed the number one spot over the weekend...taking in nearly 25 million dollars.

One beauty queen from Tennessee is taking on the crown as Miss USA. Rachel Smith beat out 50 other contestants at the pageant Friday night. She's a graduate from Belmont University where she got her degree in journalism. Smith's also a former intern for the production company that works on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

"Titanic" co-stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are reuniting for a new movie. CNN reports the two will star in an upcoming post-war drama called "Revolutionary Road." Winslet's Oscar-winning husband will direct the film. The movie is based on a novel from the 1960's.

British officials are denying rapper Snoop Dogg's entrance into the U.K.. Snoop is scheduled to join P. Diddy on stage tomorrow as part of a European tour. British officials wouldn't comment on the case specifically but did say they would not allow entry to a person if there are concerns about his or her's conduct. Snoop Dogg was arrested in 2006 after he responded violently to being barred from the first class lounge at a London airport.

That's all for now, thanks for watching today's entertainment update.
