Paps Busted for Loitering Near Casa Spears

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

Even if you're standing where there's only the possibility of a fire, you can still get burned.

Two paparazzi on Britney Spears watch were arrested Monday after ignoring a police warning about being illegally parked on a city-owned fire access road near the pop star's Studio City home.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers spotted Alexander Passos and Eduardo Ravalha, both 35, parked in a restricted area at about 6 p.m.

They were arrested about 45 minutes later when, upon returning to the site, the cops found that the gentlemen had neglected their suggestion to get their shutterbug jollies elsewhere.

Ravalha's car was towed and impounded, pretty much putting the kibosh on any good tailing action for the night, and both men were booked at North Hollywood Station on suspicion of loitering. They were released later that evening.

Earlier this month, the LAPD received a tip that someone had swiped (or perhaps simply tossed in some nearby bushes) a "No Trespassing" sign that's supposed to be posted on a chain-link fence near where the paps were busted.

All of which seems to reinforce Spears' decision to clear out of the area.

Last month, the court commissioner presiding over the attention magnet's conservatorship saga granted her permission to put her Mulholland Drive-adjacent mansion up for sale.

Her estate had filed a motion stating that the 26-year-old mother of two was in need of a home in a "lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood, that is also more accessible to parks and recreation areas."

Court Signs Off on Britney's Moving Day

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

This time, an ambulance won't be required to move Britney Spears from her Beverly Hills-area home.

The "Toxic" warbler is aiming to sell her home in the gated Summit community—ground zero of her January meltdown—and has quietly begun showing it to prospective buyers, E! News has learned.

Earlier today, a Los Angeles court commissioner okayed a request from Spears' conservatorship asking for permission to put the property on the market.

The court approval comes days after Spears was spotted looking at a $5.6 million, 7,300-square-foot house in the L.A. suburb of Encino, closer to the homebase of ex-husband Kevin Federline and the ex-couple's sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Spears bought her current residence in December 2007 for $6.7 million, according to the tax assessor.The Mediterranean-style villa measures 7,400 square-feet and has five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, as well as a library, media room and maid’s quarters. A second floor balcony overlooks a huge open living room and kitchen with an adjacent screening room. There is also a pool and hot tub in the backyard.

Spears has not exactly endeared herself to fellow denizens of the community, who have complained about the constant presence of paparazzi outside the gates. Some reports have blamed Spears as the reason neighbor Ed McMahon has not received a single offer on his $6.5 million house that's facing foreclosure.

This morning at the end of Spears' probate hearing attorneys representing Spears conservatorship submitted to Court Commissioner Reva Goetz a sealed ex-parte motion to go forward with the sale.

Otherwise, the status hearing in Spears' conservatorship case maintained the status quo.

While Spears herself was not present, attorneys for both her and father Jamie Spears appeared before Goetz to deal with matters related to the conservatorship.

After a two-hour closed-door meeting, Goetz stuck with a July 31 court date, when it will be decided if Spears remains in need of a conservator.

Jamie Spears has been serving as coconservator of his daughter's estate since Jan. 31.

Should both sides fail to agree to extend his reign by the next hearing, then Goetz is expected to set a trial, which will determine whether the singer should be placed under the permanent care of a conservator.

Goetz ordered Spears' counsel, Samuel Ingham, to confer with the singer to decide whether she would agree to waive her right to a jury trial.

"My client is going to be out of town until next Monday," Ingham told the court, without divulging Spears' whereabouts. He then informed the commissioner he needed more time to meet up with his client and discuss their options.

Goetz also set a time schedule for attorneys to prepare financial and psychological information on Spears.

Britney in a Bitty Fender Bender

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

No harm, but a bit of a foul just the same.

Britney Spears was involved in a minor chain-reaction collision Saturday on Los Angeles' 101 Freeway, authorities confirm to E! News.

According to the California Highway Patrol's accident report, at 8:18 p.m., the popster was behind the wheel of her Mercedes-Benz heading east in stop-and-go traffic a few miles beyond the 101-405 interchange when she bumped into the car in front of her.

"She failed to notice that the vehicle in front of her had come to a complete stop," CHP Officer Patrick Kimball said. "She attempted to break but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding with a 2006 Nissan."

As a result, the car Spears hit was pushed into another vehicle, the driver of which "did not observe any damages," Kimball said.

No drivers were cited and "nobody was injured," he added.

While the celeb-gossip blogosphere is already afire with rumors that Spears was asked to take a sobriety test, Kimball said that, to his knowledge, no such test was performed and Spears was not asked to report to any law-enforcement station for further information-gathering.

"No information of that type is in the report," Kimball said.

A source tells E! News, however, that Spears' bodyguard, who was in the passenger seat when the accident occurred, afterward drove his trouble-prone charge to a nearby fire station, where she met briefly with officers.

Following the accident, Britney had dinner at Italian hotspot Dominick's in West Hollywood with mom Lynne Spears and Lynne's friend Jackie, and then was back at her Mulholland Drive-adjacent home within the Summit gated community by 11 p.m., the source said.

While Spears has been spotted in recent weeks motoring her own vehicle within the confines of the Summit, the pop princess hasn't been doing too much of her own driving since a court commissioner placed dad Jamie Spears in charge of her general welfare.

Britney's Toxic Trio

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

As Britney Spears continues to cool her heels under the supervision of her father Jamie Spears, there are a trio of former bad influences — former constant companion Sam Lutfi, boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, and her party-girl cousin Alli Sims — biding their time, waiting for the day when the pop princess is unleashed.

First up is Brit's former shadow Sam, whom OK! can report has gone from riding the singer's coattails to fixing leaky plumbing and broken windows as the superintendent of his run-down condo in Venice Beach, Calif. Britney's dad has attempted to erase Sam from his daughter’s life by seeing to it that the restraining order against him is enforced to its fullest. However, Sam insists exclusively to OK!, “I’m a good person, and all that matters is that Britney’s getting better.”

Sure...

Of the three, Adnan, Brit’s notorious paparrazo beau, is the one who has the most contact with her and is the only one who gets to see her in the flesh. “She can call and text him," a Spears family insider tells OK!. "But Jamie has limited his physical appearances in the house.” In fact, the swarthy photog has reportedly been turned away at the gates of Brit's private community, The Summit, at least twice.

Rounding out the trio is Britney's fame-hungry cousin-about-town Alli, who had been using her family member to push herself into the spotlight. Except, as soon as Brit was committed for the first time this year, Alli was on a plane to New York City to "work on her album."

Immediately following Brit's release into her father's care, the singing superstar was banned from texting Alli. However, Jamie has recently decided to permit brief phone calls between the pair. “Alli agreed not to be in communication with her close friend Sam Lutfi in order to be granted permission to call and text Britney,” the insider tells OK!.

Only time will tell if Britney is able to succesfully avoid the tempting lure of her former party posse, or if this time in relatively quiet lockdown has helped her to see who really has her best interests in mind.

Britney’s Surprise Dinner Date: Mel Gibson

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

Only on Planet Britney. On Saturday Britney Spears started the day with another visit from her sons Preston and Jayden, and ended the evening at a Russian restaurant for a dinner meeting with Mel Gibson.

The actor and the pop star – once neighbors in an exclusive Malibu community – were part of a two-hour group dinner at the Romanov restaurant in Studio City on Saturday.

"It was exciting to have both of them here together," says one restaurant source. "We heard they hit it off and that Britney seemed excited."

Clad in jeans, a green top and boots and chewing gum, Spears arrived at the Romanov restaurant with her friend Victoria. Gibson, accompanied by a few friends, soon joined them in the restaurant's private dining room, which features a 24-karat gold leaf ceiling, an ornate fireplace and a library stocked with such works as Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. For two hours the group dined on filet mignon and Russian specialties, and drank water and soft drinks.

Leaving the restaurant for her Studio City home around 8:15, Spears "looked happy," says an observer, "so it seems the meeting was a success."

Britney & Mel Gibson's Secret Dinner Meeting

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

Early Saturday evening, stashed away in the back of her father's Escalade, Britney Spears snuck out of her gated Studio City community to grab a bite to eat, not with her family or Adnan Ghalib or even — heaven forbid — Sam Lutfi, but with none other than Oscar-winning director, actor and producer Mel Gibson.

The pair met for a meal at nearby Romanov Restaurant and Lounge on Ventura Blvd., where they dined on some high-priced Russian eats for around two hours.

So what is the connection between these unlikely dinner pals? The most likely culprit is super-powered L.A. attorney Blair Berk, who not only counts Brit's dad Jamie Spears as a client, but who infamously saved Mel from drowning in hot legal water after his 2006 DUI arrest. And while Berk is not representing the conservatorship directly, she has been involved in the restraining order against Sam, which will be discussed in court on Monday.

Could the two have been discussing an upcoming project? "It's unlikely that they were talking about working together on anything specific," an industry insider tells OK!. "Although Mel has used a lot of inexperienced actors in his last two films."

More likely, says the insider, Mel was sharing some of his insight into how to handle the negative press — something he became all-too-well acquainted with following his embarrassing arrest over two years ago. "He understands what she's going through," explains the source. "And he certainly has advice on how to not let it destroy your life."

In fact, in 2006, the Braveheart star had plenty to say about the singer. "I feel compassion for someone like Britney," Mel said. "She never gets a moment... Your heart goes out to her because I'm positive that, at her core, she's a good woman."

Of course, it is possible that Mel was giving Brit a little pep talk about bringing the mother of two into the fold of his ultra-conservative Church of the Holy Family in Malibu. If so, it wouldn't be the first time that Britney, who was raised a Southern Baptist, has attempted to explore other religious beliefs.

In 2004, the pop star briefly dabbled with Kabbalah, even tattooing her neck with symbols tied to the religion. Of course, as reported the other day by OK!, that ink appears to have been recently erased.

Brit: Having a Mother of a Good Time

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

Britney Spears has taken a shine to sitcom work.

Making her first public statement on just about anything in recent days, the Blackout artiste announced Thursday that her week of toiling as a guest star on CBS' How I Met Your Mother beats psych wards and courtrooms.

"Working at How I Met Your Mother has been so terrific. Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers, has been wonderful, and Abby is such a fun girl to play. I'm having a blast!"
Meanwhile, the show's set of has been harder to crack than Hyde this week.

People couldn't approach the soundstage without the proper security clearance, which came in the form of a color-coded wristband, according to Neil Patrick Harris, who plays the suit-wearing, skirt-chasing Barney.

Harris told E! Online's Watch with Kristin Wednesday even he was denied at one point, although he ultimately made it past the guards, considering he's the castmember with the Emmy nomination and all.

"I did eventually make it on set, because I just kept going through," the actor said. "But there were lots of 'Hey, hey—I need to see your wristband,' and I said, 'Lady, I'm actually on the show, so I don't have a wristband.'

"So, that's the kind of excitement there is on Stage 22 right now, mid Britney."

Spears arrived at the Fox Studios set in a chauffeured black Cadillac Escalade at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday with her usual two bodyguards in tow.

Shortly before noon, Spears' car was dispatched back to her Beverly Hills home to pick up mom Lynne Spears, who had just returned to the gated Summit community after spending the morning visiting with her grandkids at Kevin Federline's house.

Lynne was spotted outside her daughter's trailer several times once she arrived at the studio (she had the right wristband, apparently), but reporters were hard-pressed to get another glance of Spears after her initial dropoff.

Harris—who more or less agreed with "quite impressed" costar Alyson Hannigan
that Spears was doing a "good job" in her bit role as Abby, a sweet-natured receptionist at a dermatologist's office (where Ted is finally going to get his "tramp stamp" removed)—said the only thing that concerned him about the pop star's very prominent presence was what the casting coup implied about the show's status.

"It wasn't like CBS or How I Met Your Mother is trying to get ratings and said, Who can we star-cast to get attention," Harris said. "We were literally just filming last week and told, 'You're not going to believe who just called and said they wanted to be on the show.'

"So, that's sort of how it all went down…My only reservation about her being on the show at all is it appears that we are desperate for ratings, and that's not the case. We're sort of in a good comedy groove. So, my only concern is one of appearance."

Asked how Barney would handle Spears if the two came face to face, Harris maintained his character's signature cockiness.

"He'd definitely trump Osama Lutfi," Harris concluded. "Barney would out-Adnan Adnan."

Hannigan, meanwhile, had nothing but praise for the scene-stealing Spears.

"I have been quite impressed by Britney’s performance," the erstwhile Buffy the Vampire Slayer witch told E! Online. "The character she is playing is very sweet and endearing, which seems to come naturally to her. Not to mention, she has good comedic timing, which helps, given we’re a sitcom.”

The onscreen dermatologist temporarily employing Spears as a receptionist is being played by Scrubs star Sarah Chalke, a last-minute replacement for Alicia Silverstone, who opted not to appear at the same time as Spears in order to avoid what she assumed would be a totally chaotic scenario.

It’s been over a month since we’ve seen Britney and Adnan together, leading many to speculate the two were finished. These pics should lay to rest much of the rumors of their breakup but unfortunately, it seems that lots of people out there will continue to run those rumors. Our guys caught Britney and Adnan as they exited The Summit but when they saw our photographers near the gate, Britney, who was driving Adnan’s car, pulled a quick U-turn back into The Summit. Fortunately, Uli and Jonzo were having a smoke and checking out their pictures of Adnan arriving at The Summit and stayed just long enough to catch the couple slipping in and out of The Summit.

Britney Gets a House Call

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

Look who's in the zone.

Two UCLA psychiatrists paid Britney Spears a house call at her Beverly Hills residence Saturday afternoon, one week after a court commissioner granted the "Baby One More Time" songstress permission to see sons Sean Preston and Jayden James for the first time since Jan. 3.

A source tells E! News that Spears' bodyguard escorted the doctors from the Westwood-based medical center to her home in the posh, gated community of Summit Circle at approximately 2 p.m. They subsequently met with her for two hours before departing around 4 p.m.

No word on the nature of the checkup.

However Mark Vincent Kaplan, the attorney for the popster's ex-hubby Kevin Federline, told E! News last week that as part of her agreement to retain visitation rights with her kids, Spears is obligated to undergo "custody evaluation" by medical experts among other requirements.

The "Toxic" singer's privileges were reinstated after a deal was hammered out between Federline's camp and lawyers for Luce Forward, the law firm which is handling Britney's temporary conservatorship for her dad, Jamie Spears.

A court awarded the elder Spears the conservatorship on Jan. 31, giving him control over her assets on the very same day his 26-year-old daughter was forcibly admitted to UCLA's psych ward on a 5150 hold. She remained there a week before quietly being released.

Since regaining face-to-face contact with two-year-old Sean and 17-month-old Jayden, Spears has reportedly seen them on three occasions since last Saturday. But not without supervision. A court-appointed monitor, her father, K-Fed's security guard and an attorney for Luce Forward were on hand to observe the visits.

Meanwhile despite her recent personal travails, Britney has been trying to put her pop star skills to good use beyond nightclub appearances. Two hours after meeting with the psychiatrists, she turned up at the Millennium Dance Complex and taught an hour-long dance class for kids.

And nearly six months following her disastrous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Spears is also reportedly on the comeback trail.

The "Gimme More" purveyor has purportedly been holed up in a North Hollywood dance studio rehearsing moves for a new video for her next single, "Hot as Ice," off her latest album, Blackout, which is set to shoot in the coming weeks.
