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.

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.

The report claims that insiders say the singer, who was hospitalized for a breakdown last January, is in danger of buckling under the pressure. is britney really that close to the edge - she certainly appears to look more healthy and certainly has changed her lifestyle dramatically. The magazine says that insiders think differently.

"Britney is not fully recovered from her breakdown - she's definitely nervous that she isn't strong enough yet to handle the pressure of a tour and comeback," an insider tells In Touch. "Britney is very emotional, very vulnerable and is still battling the mixed emotions and confusion that come with intense therapy."

Britney wants joint custody of sons Sean, 3 and Jayden, 2, which she lost in October 2007. But a judge can't reinstate joint custody without lots of observation - a therapist screened her boys' birthday party in September - and Britney will soon be out of eyeshot. Set to begin in March, her world tour will take her away from LA - and her sons - for most of 2009.

New Battle for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline?

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

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline may have settled their custody battle for now, but a new fight is brewing over sons Preston, nearly 3, and Jayden, 23 months, according to a report from Star. According to an article in the magazine, a source tells Star that Kevin wants to take them out on auditions, but the back on track pop princess isn't having it.

Britney, who's been performing since she was 8 years old, "blew up when Kevin asked her about letting the kids act," the source told Star. "She has said she would support them if they wanted to pursue a career in Hollywood - but when they're old enough to actually know if they want to be in the industry. She wants them to have a normal childhood and feels like they are in the limelight quite enough as it is."

The article from Star claims that despite opposition from Britney, Kevin has quietly taken the boys to audition for TV and film projects around L.A. He "thinks it can be a good outlet for them," explains the source, because "Preston and Jayden are always singing and dancing around the house."

"They're total clowns, even at their toddler playgroup, Mr. Gym. Kevin feels it's okay as long as they are watched over carefully and not pushed into it." And right now, the kids are having a blast. Adds the source, "Kevin hops Britney will come around when she realizes how much fun they're having."

One report claims that Britney has even resorted to eating a good amount of steamed fish and snacking on edamame beans, influenced by Victoria Beckham's diet tips. The task of getting her body whipped back into shape has fallen to Pussycat Dolls' personal trainer James Van Daff, who is making sure that the star undergoes rigorous workouts, including three-hour dance classes six times a week.

With a more-than-rumored return scheduled for the next MTV VMA's, Britney is showing off her new body, and she's looking pretty righteous in the "hot babe" again. "She's getting her muscles back," a friend stated over the weekend, "and she's so happy about that!"

Britney Spears Desperate for a Girlfriend

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

Britney Spears is desperate for a girlfriend. Is she ready to join Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson in the lesbian relationship buzz? Even though Britney Spears once shoved her tongue in the mouth of Madonna on live television and is rumored to have had a few lesbian encounters she doesn't want a girlfriend for lovemaking like Lindsay and Sam, she needs a friend, a new report claims.

"Britney is desperate for some female companionship," a Spears family insider spilled this week in an interview with Life & Style. "She's tired of being stuck in the house all the time and having her father tag along everywhere." But who can Britney Spears really trust?

Earlier reports have claimed that Britney is also distancing herself from her father. But the article notes that the problem is that without her parents, Britney is basically all alone. "I can't think of anyone who's close to her," says an insider. "I think Jamie saw what was happening to his daughter and went into this emergency lockdown mode, shutting out her friends. But that's a lonely way to live."

And it may even be a potentially harmful existence. "It's unhealthy because one way people learn about their lives and decide to make changes for the better is to get outside input and perspective," says Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist who does not treat Britney told the magazine. "A true friend could be a valued part of her life."

Katy Perry Wants Madonna, Britney Spears Lesbian Kiss With Miley Cyrus

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

Katy Perry is on top of the op world with her new sexy hit single "I Kissed a Girl" and the adorable songstress says she really wants to create a buzz with a Britney Spears and Madonna like lesbian kiss on stage with Miley Cyrus. While Madge and Britney are desperately trying to recreate their one time sexy show, Katy Perry says she will really make a splash with a Miley Cyrus lesbian kiss.

Miley Cyrus, the star of Hannah Montana, has already been on the World Wide Web sharing a piece of licorice with another girl in one of her several raunchy MySpace like photos. The cell phone pictures show the young star flirtatiously playing with girls and boys. Would Miley kiss Katy on stage? And would that end the Disney career?

Us Weekly magazine reports that Perry, 23, will attend August's Teen Choice Awards, which Cyrus, 15, is hosting. The white-hot pop star says, "Maybe we'll have another Britney-Madonna moment on stage (with a tongue twisting lesbian kiss)," Perry joked. She understands pretty well that it likely won't happen and would it be a bit creepy as Miley is but fifteen years old.

She adds, "I don't think it would help her career. However, it would definitely help mine!" It seems like it is open season on Miley Cyrus who is busy now trying to tread water after her earlier wet-t-shirt pics from the shower that were reportedly stolen and leaked online (see here and the first link is safe). It appears that Katy is joking but can you imagine the buzz of a Katy-Miley kiss

The controversial duo, who infamously shared a hot lesbian kiss on stage during the MTV Awards back in 2003, will be wrapped in bandages which will then be unravelled by leather thong-clad male dancers in scenes that are being kept under lock and key. Can this give Madge and Madonna the buzz both need or will this all be a bit much?

An on-set source revealed to the UK Sun: "It's absolutely classic Madonna. Probably the raunchiest stuff she has ever done. It leaves nothing to the imagination and will be very controversial, the paper reports in the Gordon Smart's Bizarre section. The report claims that Britney looks great and is "dressed to kill" in the videos.

The newspaper column plays it up nicely and suggests that the two are ready to leave the kiss behind and move forward with a lot of skin and some serious groping and grinding. See here for a video report and .ore on this controversial collaboration of Britney Spars and Madge.

A Happy Ending for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline?

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

Will Britney Spears ever get her happy ending? After being granted overnight visitation rights June 24 (she hadn't been allowed to have sons Sean, 2, and Jayden, 22 months, sleep at her home since January 4), the singer, 26, spent two Saturday evenings in a row with them. But the reunion was bittersweet, a report from Us Weekly magazine suggests.

"She was upset when her kids left," a source tells the magazine. "You could never get used to a situation like that. Take heart though as there may be an end in sight for Britney and K-Fed and the whole court battle over their young children.

Spears and ex Kevin Federline, 30, may testify in a trial starting August 25 that will determine final custody. Says Loyola Law School professor Charlotte Goldberg (who's not involved with the case), "If Britney wants to change the custody arrangement, she'll have to show her lifestyle is stabilized." It seems like that can only happen if her dad is in the picture.

Insiders says that "dad of the year" Kevin Federline wants his ex-wife and the mother of his children to get better and "to be as healthy as possible before she spends more regular time with the boys," says a source.

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.

Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Reunion Planned?

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

Will Jamie Lynn Spears and her big sister Britney Spears be reunited in Louisiana? Los Angeles hasn't really been very kind to Britney of late and her father Jamie believes that she would be much better off in her native state of Louisiana and reports claim that pop is willing to go to court to get Britney a break from California.

The plan is reportedly to get her away from all of the bad influences that surround her on the west coast and to get her back to her roots. But will Britney really ever go for this? She loves the attention that she receives from the paparazzi as she tools around Hollywood and has recently complained that she feels like a prisoner in her own home according to one tabloid report. Why would she listen to dad?

But dad wants to get her "home" so he can work on getting the family all back on the same page, reports suggest. Britney has been at odds with her mom Lynne Spears and her sixteen year old pregnant sister Jamie Lynn as well and dad believes that if all of them can get together in small town Louisiana he can bring them all back together.

But would Britney really leave her sons with K-Fed in California? And an earlier report claims that dad wants Britney and her ex Kevin Federline to get back together as well. It just seems like very long odds that Britney would ever leave all of the attention in LA for a trip back home.

They had this report: "Celebrity hairstylist Kim Vo spent four hours at Britney's house yesterday working on the pop star's hair. A polite and calm Britney requested a "longer and sexy" 'do and was overheard on a phone call saying, "I want to start focusing again; I want to figure out the system," Lo tells E!'s Daily 10.

"OK! Magazine reported that according to some who have seen her these last couple days, things appear to be looking up for the singer.
