Hello on this Tuesday, January 29, 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update. Britney Spears is apparently now seeking treatment. On ABC's The View yesterday, Barbara Walters recounted a conversation she had with Spears' friend Sam Lutfi. Walters said Lutfi told her the pop star suffers from mental issues which are treatable. Walters says Spears is now seeing a psychiatrist and is reunited with her mother Lynne. The singer has reportedly been having mood swings and trouble sleeping. Michelle Williams' film is being postponed for now as she copes with the death of Heath Ledger. The actress and Ledger dated for about 3 years before separating last summer. They also have a two-year old daughter Matilda together. Williams was supposed to start working on the film Blue Valentine next month, but it's reportedly been put on hold until she's ready to return to work. Led Zeppelin is considering getting back on the road. The British rock band is reportedly talking about reuniting for a world tour. This comes after they had an extremely successful one night show in London last month. Guitarist Jimmy Page says that performance got him geared up for a full tour with singer Robert Plant and bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones. But because of busy schedules, the band would likely not hit the stage until next fall at the earliest. The Writer's Guild of America have reached an agreement with Grammy producers. The deal allows striking to work on the upcoming Grammy Award ceremony on February 10. This comes following an earlier decision from the WGA, choosing not to picket in front of the event. The WGZ has been on strike against TV and film producers since early November. The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists is recognizing those who've made an impact on the entertainment world. Soap opera star Susan Lucci was honored a ceremony last night for her years on television and contributions to the community. Veteran journalist Sam Donaldson was also given an award for his 40 years covering the news. And singer Maureen McGovern was recognized for her years on Broadway, recording hit CDs and work in TV and radio. That's all for now.
