The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney Spears' father has gotten technical.Following up on his petition to collect "replacement compensation" for the month of February for being the coconservator of his daughter's estate, Jamie Spears stated in a declaration filed June 6 that, starting Feb. 1, when he was first given control over Britney's affairs following her second hospitalization this year, he was with her "on a near-twenty-four-hour basis to ensure her safety and well-being."A court commissioner did not allocate $2,500 a week for the elder Spears—plus funds to lease a car—until March 3."After Britney was released from the hospital, I brought Britney home and secured her living and care situation," Spears said."Throughout the time period, I ran errands, including buying groceries and cooking supper on a daily basis. I talked frequently with Britney about her health status...I arranged for Britney’s transport and security to go shopping and so that she could teach a dance class."The Spears family's current arrangement is in effect until at least July 31, when the conservatorship issue is due to be revisited in court.Jamie Spears also included time spent with the kids—grandsons Jayden James and Sean Preston and ex-son-in-law Kevin Federline—as well as meetings with Britney's lawyers and doctors, in his list of billable accomplishments over the month of February.“I visited with Britney’s children and their father, Mr. Federline,” he stated. “I met and consulted attorneys. I also continued to consult with and meet Britney’s doctors and care providers.”In his original petition to collect what more or less amounts to back pay, Spears' attorney wrote that his client, who had been working as a caterer, had "been forced to forego [sic] other employment in order to devote his full time and attention to Britney and her affairs" and had "lost his regular source of income from which to pay his living expenses."Source: E!

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney Spears' hands are clean as far as the paparazzi's feet are concerned.The Los Angeles District Attorney has declined to file charges against the tarnished popster, stemming from a photographer's claim that she drove over his foot in November while attempting to steer through the usual shutterbug scrum outside the Four Seasons hotel, E! News confirms.After reviewing footage of the crowd at the scene, shot by one of the paparazzi on hand, authorities concluded that the "only way the victim’s foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location," according to the district attorney's report. “There was a lot of noise and confusion as the photographers were jockeying for position. Spears told police at the time she had no recollection of her car coming into contact with anyone as she motored away from the hotel. The district attorney agreed that there was no evidence to prove the "Gimme More" singer was aware she was voluntarily leaving the scene of an accident.The accusatory photog filed a complaint in May—six months after the alleged incident—asking that Spears be charged with a felony for leaving the scene of an accident involving an injury.But Spears ended up escaping the Great Rollover Epidemic of 2007 relatively unscathed. She was also never prosecuted for grazing a sheriff's deputy's foot, and a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge for leaving the scene after bumping into a parked car last year was dropped after she settled up with the owner of the other vehicle.Source: E!

Like, totally, like, awesome, y'all!We're told Brit Brit is "looking like crazy" to buy a house in a very exclusive part of Calabasas, located in the San Fernando Valley. We hear Brit's heart is set on a place in an extremely well-protected private community, home to rocker Travis Barker among a slew of other famous people. In fact, there are two sets of guard gates keeping Brit's potential new home from the common people.Sources say Brit's been hanging out in the community gym lately, however, we're told no official deal on the mansion has been made yet. And how's this for mom of the year -- the new pad would be closer (and certainly more accessible) to K-Fed and the kids in Tarzana, which is just a quick jaunt down the 101 Freeway ... depending on traffic.Source: TMZ

Daaaaaayum! It looks like all those trips to various Bally’s Total Fitness gyms all over SoCal weren’t just for show. Britney Spears, who spent her Father’s Day weekend in Las Vegas, NV with her Papa Jamie Spears, showed up at the “clothing optional” Bare pool lounge (opting to wear clothing) at the Mirage Hotel & Casino lookin’ like a million bucks — new hair extensions and all!!! From the sound of it, Britney had herself a great weekend with her pops:What a difference a few months makes. In February, Britney Spears wouldn’t even talk to her father, Jamie Spears, as he attempted to wrest control of her downward-spiraling life. And now, after inching ever-closer back to a normal life, the pop star and her pop spent the weekend together in Las Vegas for Father’s Day, where Brit-Brit took in some exotic wildlife. According to a source inside Vegas’ Mirage Hotel & Casino, where Brit and dad were holed up for the holiday, the singer spent her afternoon in Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage. “She swam side by side with the dolphins at the resort in a private pool,” says the insider. “Later she gushed over Siegfried & Roy’s six-week old tiger cubs in their special nursery at the Secret Garden taking pictures of the cubs with a female friend.” The singer was so enamored, she even stopped by the habitat’s gift shop to pick up a plush tiger and plush lion, perhaps for her boys back in L.A. After her swim with the dolphins, Brit had her stylist Kim Vo and his team of assistants re-do her extensions. Then, insiders say she checked out the tops-optional Bare pool lounge — though no one’s saying if Brit, who was wearing a super-short blue sundress, did any showing off of her ample bosom. “She was all smiles,” one witness tells OK!. “Glowing and looking totally fresh and healthy.”Yes, indeed, what a difference a few months makes … but it also goes to show that removing dangerous people from her life also makes a huge, positive difference as well. I am just so happy that Britney finally healed the rift that existed between her and her family and wisened up enough to let them help her sort out her messy life. I’m utterly convinced that Britney was being controlled (either by manipulation or by drugs or both) by scurrilous leeches in her life who contributed to her downward spiral. Consider, Sam Lutfi, her cousin Alli Sims and former photog Adnan Ghalib (who used to be by her side constantly) haven’t been allowed near Britney for months … and in that time she has won back visitation rights with her children, has made 2 successful appearances on prime time TV and has started looking healthier than she has looked in months … perhaps years. She finally has the real chance to win her life back and she is showing that she is serious about staying stable and is serious about making a return to form. Ex-hubby Kevin Federline may have sojourned to Las Vegas to pick up an award from a nightclub but Britney made her way to Vegas to attain something more precious … an amazing weekend with the man who, quite possibly, saved her life — her father.Source: Pink Is The New Blog
