Britney Spears Most Wanted Girl

Britney Spears Paying Lawyers $466,000, K-Fed's Lawyers $250,000 for Custody Battle.
Tuesday, August 19, 2008

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears' recently resolved custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline wasn't just messy, it was expensive.

Court documents show legal bills submitted on behalf of two law firms who represented Spears total more than $466,000. That's on top of the $250,000 the 26-year-old pop singer has agreed to pay Federline's attorneys.

The largest bill comes from attorney Stacy Phillips, who says in court filings that she is owed nearly $407,000 for four months of work. Phillips claims she has written off another $125,000 in fees.

Attorney Laura Wasser, who took over the case in June and negotiated an agreement between Federline and Spears' camp that allows the singer more time with her young sons, is seeking $60,000. She worked on the case nearly two months.

Federline retains full custody of the children, but Spears has some overnight visits.

Spears and Federline were married in 2004 and completed their divorce last July. She pays him $20,000 a month under an agreement finalized in July.

Phillips claims in court documents the case was made more complicated because Spears is under the temporary conservatorship of her father, James. He took control of his daughter's personal and financial affairs after a series of high-profile incidents of erratic behavior and two hospitalizations.

Any payments will have to be approved by a Los Angeles court commissioner, and attorneys representing Spears' and her father's interests indicated last week in court they intend to contest Phillips' bill.

World Exclusive: Britney Reveals All!
August 12, 2008

From her nasty divorce and custody battle to her now-infamous performance at the 2007 VMAs to the dark period under the control of "manager" Sam Lutfi, it's safe to say that the last two years were not the best in the young life of Britney Spears.

And now, one year after an erratic and distracted Brit stormed out of an OK! photoshoot, a very different woman sits down to talk openly about her two adorable sons, her father and the future of her nearly sidetracked career.

Having spent her young life in the spotlight, the 26-year-old mother of two tells OK! that she hopes her boys choose not to choose a career in entertainment. "I’d love them unconditionally if they wanted to," she explains. "I’d just as soon they have a more normal childhood.

Perhaps some of Britney's reluctance comes from seeing her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, have to face so much public scrutiny over her recent pregnancy. "I was shocked a little bit," says Brit. "She’s always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling."

The pop superstar also tells OK! that she wants her boys to be close to her newborn niece. "I’m sure the boys will be like big brothers to Maddie," she says.

In an unexpected twist, Britney's downward spiral in recent years ultimately helped to heal the bonds between the singer and her parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears.

"God has a way of taking something bad and turning it into something good," explains Jamie, who also spoke exclusively to OK!. "If this hadn’t happened, I would never have been able to get back with my daughter and have this relationship I have with these two little boys."

Another positive that's risen out of her darkest days is Britney's new album, which she expects to hit stores in six to nine months. "I think it is more urban," she tells OK!. "I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room... This is my best work ever."

Britney Spears' VMA silence
by BANG Showbiz
posted August 26, 2008

Britney Spears will not perform at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

The troubled singer was believed to be making a comeback appearance at the ceremony next month - after her shambolic performance of 'Gimme More' at last year's event was slammed by critics - but her manager Larry Rudolph has now denied she will take to the stage.

Larry released a statement saying: "Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform at this year's VMAs. She's in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio."

Last week, hairdresser Kim Vo spoke about a hairstyle he had planned for the 26-year-old's performance, but he has also confirmed Larry's statement.

He said: "Any ideas that we have about her hair are always theoretical. And we always have to be prepared. But she is not performing and so we don't have to worry about that."

Britney, who has never won a VMA, despite 17 nominations, is up for three accolades - Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Video of the Year, all for 'Piece of Me' - at the upcoming ceremony, which takes place on September 7 in Los Angeles.

She has also appeared in TV adverts with the show's host Russell Brand to promote the event.

Britney wants her own Reality Show
August 21st, 2008


Britney Spears is reportedly set to star in a new reality TV show.

The troubled singer is set to defy the wishes of her family - including dad Jamie, who is co-conservator of her estate, and ex-husband Kevin Federline - to appear in the proposed fly-on-the-wall MTV documentary.

The proposed programme will focus on Britney's attempts to get her life and career back on track following her breakdown earlier this year.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Britney's dad is furious. He thinks it's a big mistake and doesn't want anything to do with it. But Britney thinks it will help her custody battle for her sons."

Britney's mother Lynne is said to be desperately trying to talk her daughter out of the show because she fears the 'Toxic' singer will use it as a platform to speak out before Lynne's tell-all book is published.

A worried friend of Britney - who has two sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 23 months, with Kevin - said: "This could be the biggest car crash television moment of all time."

Britney has previously starred in an MTV reality show with Kevin, 'Britney and Kevin Chaotic' which aired in 2005.

It was cancelled after one season and mainly featured home videos the couple had made.

Britney Spears and Russel Brand Makes MTV VMA Promo
Posted August 12th, 2008

A pair of promotional videos have just been released for the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and they’re quite funny. Then again, when you get Russell Brand and Britney Spears together, anything can happen.

The English actor/comedian (who was hilarious on Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and the “Gimme More” singer are the perfect pairing for the spots, which come off as mostly improvised.

In one of them, Brand, who is just coming into popularity here in the States, quizzes the “Toxic” starlet on his last name, which she can’t seem to remember.

After he informs her it’s Brand and not Brown (as she stated) Russell adds, "You will remember that name because I think pretty soon it's going to be your surname. Britney Brand."

Russell will be hosting this year’s awards and Britney may or may not be appearing. Although she is up for Best Pop Video and Best Female Video.

A year after her desastrous performance, Britney Spears is re-teaming with the MTV Video Music Awards.

She just shot a promo for the September 7th show with host Russell Brand.

The spot is "mostly ad-libbed, with Russell asking her for advice about hosting the show," a source tells E!. "There's also a 9,000-pound elephant in it, as in 'the elephant in the room.'"

MTV president Van Toffler commented on the chances of Britney perfoming: "Everyone deserves a second or third chance ... who knows?"
