American Music Awards 2008: Kevin Federline Fears for Britney Spears?

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

Will her performance at the American Music Awards go well for Britney Spears or will the pressure get to her? A report from in Touch Magazine this week notes that Britney Spears may have her life back on track at the moment, but her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, worries that with her American Music Awards show appearances and the upcoming album release and spring tour, the pop star will be unable to handle the pressure.

Kevin knows how fragile she is and feels that she shouldn't be pursuing her career at the expense of her mental health and therefore at the expense of the kids," an insider reveals to In Touch. "He's asked her not to go so fast and has been sharing his concerns."

But according to the report Britney really wants their sons, Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, to join her on her promotional tour in Europe in December. And so far, Kevin, 30, isn't causing trouble. "The boys may be able to go to Europe and she will comply with whatever the conditions are to make it happen," another insider says.

When Jayden was recently rushed to the hospital because of a reaction to something he are, Britney, 26, feared Kevin would be angry, but an insider says he doesn't blame her. "He wants her to be with her kids and is enjoying time alone for once," the insider says. "Everyone around her rally hopes the tour will work out."

Next Stop for Britney: The American Music Awards?

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

Will Britney Spears be the big surprise at Sunday's American Music Awards?

It would certainly make sense. She does, after all, have her soon-to-be-released new album, Circus, to promote.

But don't ask show host Jimmy Kimmel about it. If he knows anything, he's not saying. "They have these surprises that 75 people on the crew know about, but they won't tell the host," Kimmel insists. "Apparently, there is some big surprise. I sent...the producer an email yesterday and he was like, I can't tell you."

The pop princess last appeared on the AMAs two years ago, around the time she had filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.

But things didn't go so smoothly...

Spears presented an award immediately following a skit in which Kimmel throws Federline (well, a lookalike K-Fed) into a box and dumps him in the ocean. "She didn't think that was funny," Kimmel remembers.

Spears or no Spears (her music label rep says she has no plans to be there), Kimmel says everyone is a target for his jokes—even the young ones. "I feel like a babysitter with all these kids," Kimmel says. "It's like being a counselor at summer camp. Aren't the Jonas Brothers like 10, 11 and 12? Miley Cyrus is only 16—but then again she sounds like she's 38."

And being the self-deprecating comic that he is, Kimmel promises not to attempt another dance performance like he did oh-so-horribly last year. "I really try tried to learn that stupid 'Soulja Boy' dance," Kimmel says. "I really had it down, but as soon as I got on stage I could not follow it at all."

The AMAs broadcast live Sunday night from Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre. Among the scheduled performers are Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis,Taylor Swift and Kanye West.

Let's hope Spears is added to the lineup. Don't ya think it's time for a live "Womanizer" performance?
