Wacky Attorney Still Claims He's Britney's Lawyer

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

Despite his inability to meet standard court deadlines and a federal judge's ruling against his claims, Jon Eardley, the attorney who says he represents Britney Spears, vowed Wednesday to continue his fight."We have only just begun the fight,"

Eardley said in a statement. "There is nothing that will stop me from dismantling, if necessary, this oppressive and unjust conservatorship."

On Feb. 1, a California court appointed Brit's father, Jamie Spears, conservator over her personal and business affairs. A court approved attorney, Andrew Wallet, was named co-conservator and another attorney, Samuel Ingham, was appointed as the singer's lawyer.

Eardley still claims Britney, 26, hired him on Feb. 12; however, lawyers for Jamie Spears argued that Eardley's claims were invalid because under the conservatorship, Britney is not legally able to hire her own counsel.

Yesterday, Federal District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled the state court's appointment of Sam Ingham precluded Eardley from acting as Britney's lawyer. Judge Gutierrez also ruled the case would remain in state court, not federal court as Eardley sought, because Eardley had no authority to move it.

Since the conservatorship was established, Jamie Spears has managed to quiet his daughter's usual out-of-control lifestyle which, over the past year, has spiraled downward into a whirlwind of craziness, including a stint in rehab, British accents, pink wings and, ultimately, Britney's hospitalization and the loss of custody and visitation rights with her sons.

Eardley claims the conservatorship violates Britney's civil rights and that her conservators are not acting in her best interest.

The conservatorship has been extended on two occasions and remains in effect until March 10.

Britney Spears Pregnant, Not Likely!

The following italicized article is taken from www.egossip.com:

Rumors that Britney Spears may be pregnant with paparazzo boy-toy Adnan Ghalib's baby are circulating the internet faster than Paris Hilton's debut video with Rick Salomon - but that doesn't mean the rumors are true.Star Magazine's new issue (on stands now) features a plumper Brit-Brit on the cover with a circle around her tiny tummy and the headline "Adnan: Brit's Having My Baby."

Britney, who has been seen out and about on several occasions lately, doesn't appear to be sporting a baby bump - she actually looks pretty toned if you ask us.

Either Star Magazine photo shopped the picture or they caught the pop tart at a bad angle - either way, we're pretty sure she's not preggers with Adnan's baby.

The troubled singer has been in and out of the hospital twice in the past six weeks, I'm pretty sure during all the tests they would have seen some signs of pregnancy before now. She's barely even had contact with Adnan the past few weeks - and her visitations with the photog were probably supervised by Brit's dad Jamie anyways.

Besides, we're pretty sure Adnan (as sketchy as he is) wouldn't tell Star Magazine that Brit's pregnant - we all know he'd cash in with his own photo agency FinalPixx before anywhere else.

Star Magazine is hardly a reputable source. They also printed that Brit and Adnan got married a few weeks ago - which they never did.

We're filing this one under the rumor mill - until there's confirmation from a more reputable, more respectable source.

Lynne Spears 'Sings Praises' of Britney's Dad, Jamie

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

Britney Spears's mom, Lynne, has been praising her ex-husband, Jamie, who has taken control of their troubled daughter's affairs.

"Jamie had to change his whole routine. Lynne sings his praises. He has been such a rock. He has stepped up to the plate," a family friend tells PEOPLE.

"He's gathered a team of reputable people who are around [Britney] now. She's not well, but for the first time in a long time she has people around her who really care about her."

As for how Lynne is coping with having her daughter in and out of the hospital, the friend says, "She's up and down. It's a roller coaster ride as a mother."

Plus, Lynne also wants to spend time with her pregnant 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn, who lives in Kentwood, La., the source says. "She has to spend time between L.A. and Kentwood. As a mother she feels needed in both places. She's doing whatever she can to help both girls. She's got that maternal instinct, and it's in high gear."

One positive step for the family has been Britney's recent visits with her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1.

"Lynne talked to Jamie, and he said it was a good visit," says the source. "[Britney] slipped into that motherly mode. They picked up right where they left off. She still has a long way to go [to get better], but that's what we hope and pray for ... Lynne and Jamie want their child to be whole again."

Britney Stays Where She Belongs!

Despite the best efforts of "shady" people and questionable lawyers…

A judge ruled on Tuesday that Britney Spears's conservator case does not belong in federal court.

It is an issue for the state courts and that's back where it has been sent.

Federal District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled that Jon Eardley, the attorney who claimed Britney contacted him to contest the conservatorship, "had no authority to remove the case from state court." The judge added that "Mr. Eardley is not Ms. Spears attorney and acted improperly by removing her conservatorship proceeding to federal court."

Hopefully Jon Eardley will get reprimanded by the bar association for lawyers!

Lesson to the "shady" people out there: STOP trying to interfere with Brit Brit trying to get better, bitches.

Jamie Lynn is College-Bound

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

Now that Jamie Lynn Spears is a proud high-school graduate, friends of the mom-to-be tell OK! that little sis of Britney Spears is now exploring the idea of going to college.

"She's probably going to start with courses at a local school," explains the friend, "with the idea of going to a major university in the future." The 16-year-old's top choice of schools is currently Southeastern Louisiana University, which is only about an hour's drive from Liberty, Mississippi, the hometown of Jamie Lynn's boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

And while Jamie Lynn and Casey are still very much a couple, rumors of them getting hitched anytime soon are "completely untrue," the friend tells OK!. "Right now it's all about the baby. That's where Jamie Lynn's focus is. Everything else will be decided on down the line."

That "everything else" includes Jamie Lynn's career. The Zoey 101 star is putting motherhood first and will take her time seeing where her career fits in. "I don't think anyone knows exactly what she's going to do," the source says, "but it may be a few years before she comes back to Hollywood, if at all. She's a very grown-up 16 and is going to take her time in making the smartest decisions for herself and her baby."

A federal judge ruled today that Britney Spears' conservatorship case should stay at the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Michael Sands To Tell All

The following italicized article is taken from www.pagesix.com:

Michael Sands, current spokesman for Sam Lutfi and Jon Eardley and former spokesman for Mark Vincent Kaplan, will very soon be deposed in Britney Spears' custody case.

PageSix.com has exclusively learned that Sands, who had been subpoenaed by Brit lawyers Trope and Trope, will now be questioned by new Spears family law attorney Stacey Phillips at her Los Angeles office on March 5.
Inside sources explain that Kaplan, K-Fed's lawyer, "is extremely nervous and apprehensive about the deposition and is expected to object to any line of questioning that Michael could have been privy to while he worked for Kaplan."


And we don't blame him. An enthusiastic Sands exclusively tells us, "I welcome the opportunity to testify under oath about what Mark said to me about Sam Lutfi, and I'm willing to take a lie detector test to talk about what the truth is about Sam Lutfi and other specifics regarding the ongoing custody battle. I wonder why Mark is worried about my deposition."

Sands adds that he would also be happy to testify at Sam's restraining-order hearing, slated for March 17, telling us, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!"

Judge Rejects Civil Rights Challenge in Britney Case

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

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a civil rights challenge in Britney Spears's conservatorship case, allowing the pop star's father to maintain his temporary control of her $100 million estate.

U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez returned the case to state probate court and sent a rebuke to the lawyer who launched the challenge, Jon Eardley, who had claimed to represent Spears.

"Mr. Eardley fails to explain why he can bring this claim for her in the first instance. He cannot," Gutierrez said in his three-page ruling. "Mr. Eardley had no authority to remove the case from state court. He is neither a party nor a defendant. While he claims to be Ms. Spears's attorney, the probate court ... found that she was incapable of retaining her own counsel."

Ruling a Victory for Britney's Father

The ruling was a victory for Spears's father, Jamie, who was named as a temporary co-conservator of her estate by the California probate court after Spears was placed under an involuntary, emergency hold at the UCLA Medical Center's psychiatric ward late last month.

As temporary co-conservator, Jamie has great influence over the pop star's fortune as well as her day-to-day activities.

In a highly publicized move, Eardley, a lawyer with practices in Washington, D.C., New York and Whittier, Calif., filed a complaint in U.S. District Court on behalf of Spears. He lashed out against the conservatorship as a "violation of [Spears's] civil rights," and requested the case be moved from California state court to a federal court.

Jamie Spears and the other temporary co-conservator, attorney Andrew Wallet, had called Eardley's move "a brazen – but vain – attempt to strip a probate court of jurisdiction ... by an attorney without a client."

Britney Goes Jeans Shopping

While the federal judge ruled in Jamie Spears's favor, Britney ventured out for an afternoon shopping trip. Spears, accompanied by her assistant and a family friend, arrived at the Levi's Store in Beverly Hills in a chauffeur-driven black Escalade ESV.

"Britney walked in to the store in jeans with a green top and a huge smile," eyewitness Brenda Gold tells PEOPLE.

Brit's Conservatorship Case Knocked Back to State Court

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

A day after lawyers for Jamie Spears went to court to challenge claims that Brit's conservatorship was violating her civil rights, a judge slammed the book on the civil rights challenge and knocked the conservatorship case back to state court.

Federal District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled that Jon Eardley, the attorney who claimed to represent Britney Spears, "had no authority" to remove the singer's conservatorship case from state court.

The judge added, "Mr. Eardley is not Ms. Spears' attorney and acted improperly by removing her conservatorship proceeding to federal court."

The court did not award the conservatorship attorney fees, however, which means Brit will have to pay around $40,000 for the now meaningless case.

On Monday, lawyers for Jamie Spears filed papers challenging Eardley's case, which claimed Britney's civil rights were being violated as a result of the conservatorship. Eardley insisted that he was Brit's lawyer, had been hired by Britney herself and had several witnesses lined up "in California and abroad" to testify on her behalf. He also claimed to be aware of "voicemails" in which Jamie Spears was verbally abusive toward his daughter.

Jamie's lawyers fired back, saying that under the conservatorship authority set in place on Feb. 6, Britney could not legally choose her own counsel. Since Eardley claims he was hired by Brit six days after Jamie Spears was made co-conservator, he can not legally be Britney's attorney. Eardley also failed to meet the court's deadline to file all of this with the proper paperwork.

Bottom line: all parties are due back in state court on March 10, when a judge will decide if Jamie Spears will remain on as the conservator of Brit's estate.

The judge added, "Mr. Eardley is not Ms. Spears attorney and acted improperly by removing her conservatorship proceeding to federal court."

The court did not award the conservatorship attorneys fees, which means it will cost Brit around $40,000 for what turned out to be a bogus case.
