Brit to Kids -- Ring-a-Ding-Dang: I'm Back!

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

TMZ has learned Britney Spears has won her visitation rights back -- with strings attached.

We're told lawyers for both sides have hashed out a deal in which Britney will get visitation in a therapeutic setting. Commish Scott Gordon has signed off on the agreement.

It's a deal more than a week in the making. The parties had agreed in principle last weekend to a deal but it fell apart in court last Tuesday.

We're also told K-Fed is down with Britney seeing the kids again.

The Latest on Britney's Conservatorship

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

In the latest hearing today regarding Britney Spears' conservatorship, the judge stated that the case is now in a "holding pattern," because it is currently in the hands of the federal court.

Federal court judge Gutierrez is expected to rule next week on whether the conservatorship should be moved to federal court. There will be no hearing and it is expected that the request, to be filed today by Britney's advocate Jon Eardley, will be denied. The case will thus be returned to superior court. Even so, Jamie Spears, Britney's father and conservator, has until Monday to respond to the request.

It was also noted that Sam Lutfi has finally been served with his temporary restraining order, which the judge extended to March 17, when Sam is expected to appear in court.

Britney Case Now in Hands of Federal Court

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

In a surprise announcement Friday afternoon, Commissioner Reva Goetz announced that the case regarding the conservatorship of singer Britney Spears is now "in a holding pattern," because it is now in the hands of federal court judge to decide who has jurisdiction over these matters.

On Feb. 14, a lawyer named John Eardley filed papers with the court claiming that the current state of the conservatorship, which is managed by Brit's dad Jamie Spears and court-appointed attorney Andrew Wallet, violates the pop star's constitutional rights and that both the conservatorship case and her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline should be moved into the jurisdiction of a federal court.

On Tuesday, the commissioner in the custody case said earlier this week that that case would stay put and the same decision was expected to come out of Commissioner Goetz's courtroom today. However, everyone must now wait until Feb. 25, when a federal court will hear the motion and decide whether it should become a federal case or be remanded back to Commissioner Goetz.

Should the case not become a federal matter, the next hearing is scheduled for March 10, where the topic of extending — or possibly making permanent — the conservatorship will be discussed.

Miley Cyrus: I Won't End Up Like Britney


Miley Cyrus explains how she will not "end up like Britney" to Barbara Walters in a recent interview. Yeah if I were her I wouldn't want to end up being one of the biggest-selling female artists of all time, and a world-wide icon either... It's ok, she's 15, and this is what she's supposed to say. She'll figure it out one day. Call me!

L.A. Police Chief to Brit: "Stay Home Airhead!"

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

Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton was on a southern California radio show Friday morning, where he had some choice words for Britney Spears. The L.A. County Commissioner wants to pass new legislation that would protect attention-hog celebutants from the Paparazzi. But "Britney's Law" , which claims to curb over aggressive paps, is not going over well with the city's police chief.

On this morning's 89.3 KPCC-FM Radio with Pat Morrison Bratton said:

"What we need is for Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. We don't need additional laws...I've got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue. What you have is several young women in this town and several young men basically making fools of themselves and tying up not only my resources but the resources of the media that would do better covering legitimate stories instead of a bunch of airheads running around out there...Quite clearly some of these characters so favored by the paparazzi are clearly in need of services. Not police services, but psychiatric services."

Whoa Nelly! Tell us how you really feel!

Britney May Get a Chance to be Heard by Jury

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

Michael Sands, the spokesperson for Brit's attorney Jon Eardley, says that Eardley filed documents yesterday with the federal court requesting a jury trial.

If Judge Philip Gutierrez, whom, according to Sands "is willing to listen", approves the request, Britney herself will get the chance to take the stand and speak for herself in a court of law.

Additionally, Sands tells us Gutierrez moved up the deadline for filing paperwork to today, the 22nd, (from February 29th) and that Eardley is ready to go with his defense of Britney's civil rights violation.

As we reported yesterday, Sam, Michael Sands and Jon Eardley may be in court today (Sands wasn't yet sure) to discuss the restraining order that Sam willingly accepted Thursday morning.

Stay tuned...

Alli Sims on Britney Spears: "Everyone Goes Through Weird Patches"

The following italicized article is taken from www.usmagazine.com:

Alli Sims says she is still talking to cousin Britney Spears.

"I cannot really say much more about [her], but she is doing well," Sims told Usmagazine.com at the Montblanc Oscar Brunch at Casey Johnson's Villa in Beverly Hills last night.

Spears has been involuntarily hospitalized twice to treat her bipolar disorder. She is currently under the supervision of her parents (her father was granted legal, financial, and medical control of her life) and hasn't seen her two sons since January 3.

"Everybody just keeps supporting her and rooting [for] her because everyone kind of goes through weird little patches in [their] life," Sims told Us.

"You just need friends and family and everyone to support you and help you through it, and everything will be okay."

Sims, who is working on her first album, says she and Spears "will definitely collaborate on something."

"I think we are kind of both open to anything," Sims said. "We are really good friends, we are really close, and we really love working on stuff together, so I think that possibly something like that could happen."

Sims lived with Spears for eight months last year and previously told Us, "I wish people would give her a break and lay off her."

K-Daddy Going Green?

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

Not that kind of green, and not that other kind of green, either. No, it seems that even Kevin Federline is getting hip to the environmentally-friendly movement.

The former Mr. Spears was spotted, report Rush & Molloy, at the Petit Tresor boutique in L.A. buying four organic Robbie Adrian blankets for his boys. (K-Fed also has two kids with Shar Jackson.)

Let's not get too carried away, though -- when the Fed was spotted in NYC recently, he was tooling around in a big, gas-guzzling SUV. Some habits die hard.

Adnan Cheating on Brit?

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

OK! has learned that Adnan Ghalib, Britney Spears' "faithful" boyfriend, may not be the supportive, loving partner he's tried so hard to make himself out to be. On Wednesday around 10 p.m. PT, sources tell OK! that Adnan pulled up to the gate outside Britney's home at the Summit — only to be turned away minutes later!

Perhaps the ill feelings were due to reports of Adnan getting cozy with other women in the weeks following Britneys' release from the UCLA psych ward. An eyewitness confirmed to OK! that just prior to showing up at Brit's house last night, Adnan was videotaped leaving Bossa Nova Restaurant in West Hollywood with a mysterious girl on his arm. When Adnan spotted photographers, he quickly made a dash for it. The girl claimed she was a "business associate."

Adnan has made no secret of his supposed devotion to Britney as she attempts to get her life back in order. However, while Brit has been staying quiet these last few weeks, Adnan has been seen all over town with different girls. Two weeks ago in Beverly Hills, he was spotted with two women, whom he claimed were out of town friends.
