Brit and K-Fed: Will They Fight or Settle?

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

The Brit/K-Fed child custody saga has been postponed, and we here at TMZ smell something.

The lawyers were supposed to yak it up in court tomorrow morning. They were planning on talking about next month's trial over custody. A trial seems weird, because there's a conservatorship in place and it doesn't seem kosher to duke it out in custody court, at least now.

But here's the clue. Tomorrow's hearing has been rescheduled for Friday. When cases get postponed like that, there's a chance the lawyers are trying to settle it and buy more time.

Stay tuned.

K-Fed's Lawyer Wants Five for Fighting

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

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has filed a motion asking the court to make Britney pay attorney's fees. If the motion is granted, we've learned Brit will be on the hook for more than $500,000 since last July.

Here's how it breaks down: The court has already awarded Kaplan $120,000 for fees earned between July 30 and October 8, 2007. We've learned in today's motion Kaplan is asking for fees in excess of $300,000 for work performed between October 8 and January 24, 2008. On top of that, Kaplan is asking for in excess of $100,000 for fees he will accumulate between now and the end of the custody trial, set for April.

A hearing on Kaplan's request for attorney's fees is set for March 10.
