Britney Spears Throws a Car & Truck Themed Birthday Bash for Her Boys

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

Britney Spears revved up the celebration for sons Preston and Jayden on Saturday, throwing her sons a joint car and truck-themed birthday bash in Los Angeles.

And the party was truly a family affair.

Spears celebrated her boys' special days - Preston turns 3 on Sept. 14, and Jayden turned 2 on Sept. 12 - with sister Jamie Lynn Spears, her newborn niece Maddie Briann, dad Jamie and mom Lynne.

Held at close friend Adrienne Maloof-Nassif's Beverly Park house, the outdoor party drew some famous guests, including Jenny McCarthy with her son Evan, and Gwen Stefani's son Kingston, 2, who came to the bash from an equally starry affair: He celebrated Heidi Klum's son Henry's 3rd birthday at the model's Beverly Hills house along with all three of Victoria Beckham's sons.

But the guests of honor seemed to be having the best time. Preston and Jayden drove around the party in mini motorized cars, which were customized Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier. The cars featured tattoo-inspired decals, Ed Hardy air fresheners and personalized license plates. To keep with the party's theme, the cake was in shape of a yellow truck.

"The boys received tons of birthday gifts," a source told PEOPLE. "Britney and her family really made the party special for the boys."

Jamie Lynn Hangs with Britney in L.A.

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

Maddie Briann has gone Hollywood.

Okay, maybe not just yet, but Jamie Lynn Spears did bring her two-month-old kid to L.A. all the way from Louisiana on Wednesday to hang out with Auntie Britney and her two boys.

Mom and daughter, along with Spears matriarch Lynne, were spotted heading into Brit's home during one of the pop star's court-sanctioned visits with Sean Preston and Jayden James, who happen to be turning three and two respectively this weekend.

So who else joined the party?

Brit's ex, Kevin Federline, apparently hung out with everyone for quite some time when he came by to pick up his sons.

While, yes, this can all be construed as nothing more than just family members spending some quality time together, we'd still love to be a fly on this particular reunion wall nonetheless.

Meet your cousins!

Jamie Lynn Spears brought two-month-old daughter Maddie to Los Angeles Wednesday for the baby's first ever play date with Britney's two sons.

The 17-year-old flew from Louisiana – along with her baby and her mother Lynne (whose memoir comes out next week). The whole family then headed to Britney's Studio City house, where the singer was enjoying a regular visitation day with her two boys, Preston, who turns 3 on Sunday, and Jayden, who turns 2 on Friday.

Britney’s ex, Kevin Federline, came to pick up his sons himself, and stayed for about an hour to take part in the reunion.

Will The Real Jamie Lynn Please Stand Up?

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

Is this Jamie Lynn or fake Jamie Lynn?! Or is it the Pope because who else gets a security detail like that through an airport?!?!

In attempt to throw off the paps and fans, a Jamie Lynn Spears decoy was used in LAX yesterday and it was kind of the worst decoy ever. Since when does JL have a bob haircut? A long blonde, wig with cheap highlights would have sufficed. Also the bike cop added a nice touch of importance and heightened security.

Apparently Jamie Lynn is in Los Angeles with Maddie Briann to visit big sis and aunt Britney. An Olan-Mills photo sesh of all the cousins needs to be arranged immediately!

Jamie Lynn & Lynne Arrive In L.A.

Britney Spears' 17-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, arrived in LA on Wednesday, September 10, along with her nearly 3-month-old daughter Maddie Briann, and headed straight to Britney's house.

Britney's former husband Kevin Federline was at Britney's house when Jamie Lynn arrived; he had come to pick up the toddlers, (b. September 14, 2005) and Jayden James (b. September 12, 2006), after a visitation, and perhaps help Britney plan their birthday party.

According to x17, Kevin and Britney were inside the house alone for nearly 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, Britney took part in a photo shoot by French born fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier at her Bel Air residence earlier on Wednesday.

It is likely the 26-year-old pop star, who has made a dramatic comeback from a tail spinning lifestyle, will feature on the cover of a magazine.

Britney recently told OK! magazine that her new album will be released by late December.
"It's my best work ever," she said proudly.

Britney Shops for Baby Maddie

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

Aunt Britney is taking her new title seriously.

The singer went shopping at the True Religion Warehouse with her mom Lynne on Friday—and Jamie Lynn's little girl was first and foremost on her mind.

Britney specifically picked out items for her new niece, Maddie Briann, from the toddler collection. Everything from T-shirts and hoodies to jeans for the little girl, a source tells E! News. She also selected some similar clothes in boys' styles for Sean Preston and Jayden James.

For herself, Spears picked up tank tops, T-shirts and jeans, to name a few. She loved True Religion's new puffy jackets for fall, scooping up a vest and a hooded jacket, both in red. She also liked the headwear—she chose some baseball hats as well as a winter-weight fedora.

"She was very happy," says the source. "She loved trying everything on. She looked great."

According to a source, Britney did not mention Madonna or the video shoot she's been busy with. She was focused on shopping and was very gracious.

"They had a great time—they thanked us when they left," a source tells E! News. "They were very polite and sweet."

After shopping, Britney and mother Lynne headed to ABH, the new rooftop hot spot at the Thompson Beverly Hills Hotel. The mother-daughter duo munched on sushi rolls and sipped soft drinks from Bond St., the restaurant downstairs, along with an assistant and bodyguard.

"Britney was very mellow, normal, grateful and sweet to staff," an onlooker tells us.

Britney & Moms Bonding Time

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

Now that Jamie Lynn Spears has given birth to adorable little Maddie Briann, mom Lynne Spears has taken some time to head from her Louisiana home to enjoy some quality time with older daughter, Britney Spears.

First, Lynne joined Brit at the recording studio Thursday night, where the singer is working on a follow-up to last year's Blackout

.And then earlier on Friday, mom and daughter partook in a nice little shopping spree. Joined by her Brit's assistant Brett and Lynne's best friend Jackie the foursome (Britney attempted to hide in the backseat of one car) drove over to the True Religion jean warehouse in Vernon, Calif.

According to witnesses, the four women went "hog wild" at the giant warehouse, scouring the racks and leaving with oversized shopping bags under their arms. Referring to the tight-fit jeans she picked up, Brit was overheard saying to her assistant, "I'm feeling skinnier now, so..."

Insiders tell OK! that Britney's relationship with True Religion, famous for their low-rise, hip-baring jeans, is basically the same as the understanding she has at the Ed Hardy warehouse, where she is free to roam to rows and rows and rows of clothes and pull whatever she wants.

But despite Friday's shopping spree, it's likely that the sexy slacks will be left in Britney's closet next Tuesday when she heads to court for her final scheduled custody hearing before the case goes to trial in August.

World Exclusive: Meet Baby Maddie!

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

Since giving birth on June 19 to baby girl Maddie Briann Aldridge, Jamie Lynn Spears has taken to doing what any good first time mom would do — making sure her brand new daughter has everything she needs.

And, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot, the younger sister of Britney Spears tells OK! that being away from the shining lights of Hollywood is making it all easier to learn the ins and outs of first-time motherhood. "Around here, everyone has the same focus," Jamie Lynn tells OK!. "The focus is family, and that's a good way to live."

The 17-year-old actress opens up to OK! about everything — from taking parenting classes to life inside the new home she shares with Maddie and boyfriend Casey Aldridge, to her first experience with labor pains.

"They'd told me it would be an eight- to 12-hour labor, and I was ready to have the baby in three to four hours," Jamie Lynn tells OK!. "I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed."

While the former Zoey 101 star and her fiancé have not yet set a date for their wedding, the couple remains closer than ever. Jamie Lynn, who tells OK! that while her labor was induced, she gave birth naturally and without complications, says that Casey was the one person she wanted in the delivery room with her.

"Once I got in there, my doctor was just so calm and so good it was not bad at all," she says. "I was just talking to Casey. And you know what's so weird? I was asking him if he was okay. He was like, 'Yeah.' We were both so excited."

A baby nursery is set up for little Maddie at the other end of the house, but for now her proud parents like having her next to them at night, so she sleeps in a bassinet in the same room as Jamie Lynn and Casey.

"She is very good," says Jamie Lynn. "She'll feed every two or three hours. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, I'll feed her and she goes right back to sleep. There's no screaming and crying."

The proud mama continues, "We get up in the morning, and she gets her little bath. Then I get my bath. We have a routine, and I love routines. I've worked one out with her, and we're happy going about our little life."

For the entire interview and exclusive photoshoot with Jamie Lynn, Casey and Maddie, pick up the new issue of OK! — on newsstands everywhere Thursday!

Jamie Lynn Spears Efforts to Keep Baby Away From Britney Spears, Hollywood

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

Britney Spears little sister Jamie Lynn Spears is a brand new mom at the very young age of seventeen and as this isn't "Juno" she is keeping her baby and has been bonding at home in Liberty, Mississippi with daughter Maddie Briann, who was born June 19. It has been reported that Jamie Lynn spears really wants to keep her little one away from Hollywood and that of course means away from Britney.

Jamie Lynn is happy to be home. "She sings to her, holds and rocks her and takes at least 100 pictures a day," a family insider tells weekly entertainment magazine Life & Style. "Jamie Lynn is so protective of Maddie," the insider says. "She's taken to being a mother so naturally."

There was so much drama surrounding the birth it is good to hear at least one report that claims that Jamie Lynn is making an effort to keep her child out of the Britney like spotlight. Her sister Britney was at the birth but that was even high drama according to an earlier report from the Enquirer.

The magazine reported at the time that after acting like a spoiled brat when her little sister gave birth, Britney Spears flew back to Los Angeles after only one day, leaving even before her sister got out of the hospital. "Britney seemed very anxious and couldn't sit still. She was moody and complained about everything. Plus, she had to fly commercial, and that really pit her in a foul mood," said an insider.

Brit's Taking Mommy Lessons From Jamie Lynn

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

Sitting across a conference room table from her ex-hubby Kevin Federline on June 26, Britney Spears looked weary yet determined. After months of battling to regain at least partial custody of her children, she was more focused than ever on her goal.

The singer's renewed determination is thanks to her 17-year old sister, Jamie Lynn Spears who, following the birth of her own daugther, Maddie Briann Aldridge, has become a role model for motherhood to her big sis.

"As happy as she was for all the joy Jamie Lynn is experiencing it was heartwrenching for her to think about her own situation with Sean Preston and Jayden James," a source close to the singer tells OK!. "She knows she has to do whatever the court, her attorneys and her doctors tell her to get the boys back."

One thing is for sure — Britney is finally ready to participate and play the game. On June 24, the singer,26, went before commissioner Scott Gordon asking for a change in her custody. In a huge win, Gordon granted Brit one overnight a week with her boys.

Then, two days later as first reported by OK!, the unthinkable happened. Brit and K-Fed met face to face with their attorneys for an out-of-court conference in the hope of settling their custody dispute ahead of an August trial date.

"Britney and Kevin were very comfortable with each other," an insider tells OK! of their meeting. "Their conversations are extremely cordial and getting better."

But although their intentions were good, Brit and Kevin were unable to compromise on their custody arrangement. A source close to the case tells OK! that K-Fed's unwillingness to budge has mostly to do with Britney's conservatorship, which the court has ruled still necessary to her recovery. As long as her conservatorship remains in place, K-fed wants 100 percent full custody of their two sons.

"Legally, Britney is a child," the insider tells OK!. "How can Kevin possibly give up any custody of his children to someone who is a child herself?"

Britney Spears Splashed Out $600 On Baby Accessories

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

Britney Spears has ordered a customised six-foot tall bunny from a Los Angeles store. The mother-of-two - who became an auntie for the first time last week after her teenage sister Jamie Lynn gave birth to a baby girl, Maddie Briann - splashed out $600 on baby accessories at exclusive boutique Petit Tresor, including several ‘Bunsies’ by Bunnies by the Bay.

As she left the store, Britney is believed to have requested a special one-off rabbit toy, but refused to elaborate on who it was for. Earlier this year, it was claimed Britney had ordered a six-foot tall elephant for Jamie Lynn’s nursery. The troubled singer - who has two sons, Sean Preston, two, and 21-month-old Jayden James with ex-husband Kevin Federline - reportedly spent more than $30,000 on her future niece.

A source close to the star said: “Petit Tresor is designing the nursery for Jamie Lynn’s baby. Britney is picking up the tab. She also ordered a custom made, six-foot tall elephant with a blue bow which she wants to sit in the middle of the nursery.”
