Britney Spears Leaves Deposition

The following italicized article is from www.pagesix.com:

Britney Spears took an important first step towards getting her kids back on Monday when she showed for her custody deposition at the office of Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan.

She stayed for just over two hours and left with confidante Sam Lutfi. On the way out, she was tight-lipped when asked about her photographer beau Adnan Ghalib, but she was in decidedly higher spirits than she was yesterday when she remarked to a homeless man, "You are better off being homeless than being me, sir.

"When PageSix.com asked how she’s feeling today, she told us, “I’m doing fine thanks!”

The pop star has two court dates scheduled next month — on February 3 when her high-powered law firm, Trope and Trope, is expected to withdraw as counsel, as well as a general custody hearing on February 19.

Britney Spears Spends More Than Two Hours at Deposition

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

Britney Spears spent more than two hours at the Los Angeles office of Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, Monday for an ongoing deposition in the ex-couple’s custody battle.

At 10:40 a.m., Spears, 26, wearing a dark blue top and jeans, drove up to the office in her white Mercedes-Benz SL65 with friend Sam Lutfi. Both had serious expressions on their faces. The singer was spotted leaving at 1:20 p.m.

The singer has missed numerous appointments for the court-ordered cross examination. She was expected to be grilled about her past drug and alcohol use, her apparent failure to follow court orders and other matters pertaining to her parenting skills.

Federline's attorney will use evidence gathered in depositions to try to convince a court that his client should retain primary physical custody of the ex-couple's children. A custody trial is set for April.

"Kevin wants nothing more than to be able to parent his children with participation by their mother," Kaplan previously told PEOPLE. "But the best interest of the children require that they be in the most sound, safe, nurturing and consistent environment. That is paramount."

On Jan. 3, Spears was deposed for only 14 minutes, after arriving one-and-a-half hours late. That night and into the next morning Spears had a four-hour standoff with police, ending with her brief hospitalization.

Last Monday, the singer lost all visitation rights to sons Preston, 2, and Jayden 1, indefinitely after she showed up for a hearing, then left without entering the courthouse.

X17 XCLUSIVE - BRITNEY WANTS "SOMETHING NEW" FOR HER NEXT VIDEO!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

At Saturday's champagne party, Brit revealed to our two photogs that she's preparing to shoot a new video for her next single, Hot as Ice and that she wants it to be "something new" and fresh!

"I don't like the Piece of Me video," Brit said to our photogs.
"The stuff they show of me on TV looks old."

Brit's displeasure with how her last video came off could be one of the reasons she's decided to take control and go back into the dance studio Sunday.

So what can we expect for the next video?

"I wanna do something new, something really cool," Brit announced to the group.

We can't wait to see what she's got in store!

Britney Actually Shows Up For Deposition!

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

While many Americans are enjoying the day off from work today to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, Britney Spears was actually hard at work, doing the one thing she's been avoiding for months — giving her deposition in the ongoing custody battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline.

Shortly after 10:30am PT, the pop singer arrived at the Century City, Calif., office of Mark Vincent Kaplan, who represents K-Fed in their tug-of-war over 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James.

Brit drove herself to the deposition, which is slated to go through the remainder of the day, in her white Mercedes with pal Sam Lutfi in the passenger seat. The singer, perhaps feeling more confident following her decision to split with married photog Adnan Ghalib, made no effort to sneak into the office or avoid being spotted, as she handed over the keys to her car to a parking valet before entering Kaplan's office.

Of course, the last time Britney showed up to give her deposition, she was several hours late and only able to meet with Kaplan for 14 minutes. And it was later that same day when Brit-Brit would find herself in a several hour standoff with the authorities as she refused to hand over infant son Jayden to his father. Ultimately, the pop star ended up being hospitalized for two nights and her visitation privileges with both boys have been suspended.

Britney's Latest Pal -- A Chair?

The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:

Britney Spears had another rotating circus of pap pals this weekend -- as TMZ observed earlier -- but last night, it looks like she got hot and heavy with an inanimate object: a chair.

The owner of Millennium Dance Complex tells People that Brit was in doing "choreography" for her song "Hot as Ice," and that Spears "rehearsed an amazing routine with a chair." She spent nearly three hours at Millennium, and asked for a pap named Filipe when she left.

Earlier, she was at Petco, getting dog food and a birdcage. Looks like she'll surround herself with just about any life form these days.

The popwreck then went to work (yes, work!) -- ending the day at Millennium Dance Studio expressing her love for paps after becoming uber-frustrated while attempting to get out of the parking lot.

'Upbeat' Britney Hits The Dance Studio

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

With pup London in hand, Britney Spears headed to the Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood on Sunday night to work on a new routine, owner Robert Baker tells PEOPLE.

"She is working on the choreography for her song "Hot as Ice," Baker said, "She rehearsed an amazing routine with a chair."

The intense dance session wrapped up a characteristically bizarre weekend, during which Spears invited two photographers back to her home for some late-night champagne. "She was very sweet," said one of the photographers, adding that Spears pal Sam Lutfi claimed to have "filed a restraining order" against Adnan Ghalib.

Ghalib, the paparazzo who has been by Spears's near-constant companion in recent weeks, shot back, "I am only now becoming aware of what is being said. I hope to be back home in Los Angeles soon and to be in contact with Miss Spears." (The L.A. police and sheriff's departments both said no emergency protective order had been issued.)

Spears, 26 – who also dropped by PetCo Sunday afternoon, picking up a birdcage and some dog food – spent nearly three hours working on her moves at Millennium. She emerged at 9:30 p.m. in a white top and Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses, chatting with paparazzi and requesting the presence of Filipe, one of the photographers who had been at her home earlier.

"Britney was in an upbeat mood," Baker said, adding that despite the impressive workout, the singer still seemed slightly scatterbrained. "I let her use my personal copy of Blackout. She forgot her own CD."

Washington, Jan 18 (ANI): Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has extended her support to sad pregnant pal Jamie Lynn Spears.

Britney Spears’ baby sister shocked fans and friends when she confirmed reports that she was with child in Dec 2007.

Since then the 15-year-old Cyrus has been trying to get in touch with Lynn Spears.

“She’s turned her phones off. She’s, like, doing her thing. I think she’s really just kind of like trying to figure herself out, which I think is a good way to start 2008,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

Cyrus admitted that like everyone else she was also shocked when she discovered Spears was pregnant.

“It was really sad because that definitely is going to change her life, she said.

And added, “I really respect her for taking it the classy route.” (ANI)

Britney Out Shopping At Petco With Sam Lufti(1/20)

The following italicized article is from www.celebrity-gossip.net:

Seeing as how she no longer has visitation rights with her two sons, Britney Spears spent Sunday afternoon attempting to help fill the void.

The Gimme More singer was spotted out with companion/manager Sam Lufti shopping for a new bird and birdcage at a local Petco in Los Angeles.

For some time now, Miss Spears has had a fondness for birds… and fish… and puppies… and pretty much anything else that she can buy and let someone else take care of.

Nonetheless, next up on the court docket for the Toxic songstress is a February 19th apperance in which her lawyer will try to get her visitation with Jayden James and Sean Preston restored.

Until then, it looks like her growing pet collection and paparazzi pals will just have to do.

It's Over For Britney & Adnan

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

After a handful of headline-making weeks together, the romance between Britney Spears and her photographer boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has ended, OK! can confirm. Also, contrary to reports on various web sites, OK! has learned that the pop star did NOT file a restraining order against her former shutterbug sweetheart.

Los Angeles Police Department Officer Mike Lopez tells OK! esclusively that Brit "has never filed a police report against Adnan Ghalib nor has she requested a restraining order against him.

"Without Adnan by her side for one of the first times since their romance began shortly before Christmas, Britney was out and about, seeming to enjoy herself as she stopped by an L.A. Petco store to purchase $100 worth of goodies for her growing menagerie of pets at home."

She was smiling from ear-to-ear," one witness, who spotted Brit shopping with pal Sam Lutfi, tells OK!. And if you don't believe the witnesses, take Britney's word for it: "Today's a good day," she told a group of photographers. "I feel great. I'm so happy right now."

Sunday night, Brit was shaking her stuff at North Hollywood's Millennium Dance Complex, her favorite studio to rehearse at.

This development is a big change for Britney, who only last week was talking to friends about her desire to have a baby with Adnan. The pair were even photographed looking at pregnancy tests together at a Rite-Aid drugstore on Jan. 14.
