K-Fed has a new golf partner: none other than Britney Spears’ conservator/father Jamie Spears. Sean and Jayden’s father and grandfather hit the links near Kevin's home in Tarzana, Calif. on Saturday. Surely the golf buddies had a lot to talk about while they shot 18 holes.
It was confirmed that Britney was signed by the William Morris Agency which will represent the music, theatre, cinema, televsion... apsects of her career. Artists like Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse and Snoop Dog belong to that same agency. So after all, Britney's 'date' yesterday was a business one as she met with her new manager Jason Trawick from the William Morris Agency.

As reported by OK! last night, Britney Spears has recently found herself on the receiving end of a mysterious, obsessed fan, who has been sending the pop star threatening packages. And now OK! can reveal the ghastly details of what has Brit's security team running to the FBI.
"It started about six weeks ago with just letters being sent once a week," a source who has seen the packages reveals to OK!. "And then it quickly escalated to larger packages that now arrive two to three times a week — always to the same L.A. address, but never to one of Britney's homes."
And according to the source, it's a good thing these boxes never made it to the still-recovering singer's doorstep, because what's inside could not be good for her mental state.
"The first thing you see when you open the box is a huge, lavender-colored, battery-operated sex toy," the source tells OK!. "Still with the price tag on it." And alongside the mechanical apparatus are two letters — one handwritten and one written on a computer — both threatening and pornographic in nature.
"The handwritten one is on note paper and it's written in a crazy, all-caps chicken scratch," says the source, who adds that the five-page typed letter contains vivid, pornographic details of the writer's fantasy exploits with Britney, none of which can be printed here.
Perhaps the scariest item inside the package is what some believe to be a picture of the sender — a middle-aged caucasian male with stringy, greasy hair — with the eyes cut out of the photo, in which he appears to be squirting some sort of yellowish liquid into his open mouth.
"It's like something from a bad movie," says the source. "If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't believe it."
Insiders tell OK! that the packages, which come with a return address in the Minneapolis, Minn., area, are immediately handed over to Britney's security team, who in turn hand them over to the FBI for further reviews.
They might also want to hand over this information to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's security people, as the superstar couple's names are scrawled in ink on the outside of each package.
Meanwhile, as another package arrived Saturday morning, Brit was safely shopping with her bodyguard — and a few dozen photographers — for some new footwear at Off Broadway Shoes on Sunset Blvd.

Heard this one before?
As Britney Spears exited a shoe store in L.A., she decided to take the road less traveled -- walking right into a sizable metal bar that was 100% avoidable.
Hope the dancing calmed her mind a bit. Britney is seen here leaving Millennium after dance rehearsals wearing a purple top and short shorts. Her legs look toned! Looks like all the dancing is paying off.
Britney is seen here wearing her comfy Primp hoodie while heading into Millennium Dance Studios for a bit of rehearsing for her next single "_____ Ice." Glad she got a little dancing and retail therapy today. I'm going to get my head bitten off for saying this again... but she just looks so sad. I just want to give her a hug. Hope dancing cheered her up.

Britney Spears may have a stalker. While the troubled star gets her life back on track — just last night she dined with agent Jason Trawick and brother Bryan — the LAPD spokesperson confirmed to PageSix.com that they have "been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months."
The 26-year-old pop wreck, who's security team is comparable to the secret service since her dad Jamie became her conservator last month, has received creepy letters describing "how to bomb" and letters that include "weird gibberish" about the Middle East and Israel, according to E! News. While no case has been openned by the LAPD at this time, Britney's security detail are reportedly turning all the odd packages and letters over to the FBI.
New pictures of Britney at a restaurant with Jason Trawick (from the William Morris agency), and her brother Bryan. Wonder what she was doing there? Maybe looking for a new management...Or just having fun...

Britney reunited with her old pal (flame?) William Morris agent Jason Trawick last night for dinner at Shu sushi at the Beverly Glen mall.
Was this a romantic reunion or a business dinner? Well as it turns out, it might have been a double-date. Brit's brother Bryan was there with his girlfriend!
Or, as an advisor, was Bryan there to facilitate Britney's move back into the biz, perhaps helping his sis to retain Jason's services as an agent? We hope so!
The group arrived separately around 9 pm - Britney was driven by her bodyguard, Jason drove himself, and Bryan and his girlfriend arrived in a chauffeured car - and left in the same vehicles, separately, around 10:15.
What does this dinner meeting mean for Britney -- romance or a return to showbiz or BOTH?!

Adnan went to Britney Spears' gated community last night (supposedly to see someone else) but the only person he got to see was Britney ... on his iPhone.
The security guard turned Adnan away -- who immediately had to hear about the rejection from the surrounding paps.

Break the Ice BRITNEY SPEARS Producer(s): Nate "Danja" Hills Genre: POP Label: Jive
While Britney Spears' media circus continues to stifle the one-time ruling pop princess, she keeps delivering hits, albeit with help from the best producers and writers her fortune can buy—but who cares. Third "Blackout" single "Break the Ice" might have been a better comeback than "Gimme More," as Spears apologizes for her hiatus in moving headlines over music, with opening line, "I shouldn't have kept you waiting, but I'm here now." The uptempo track oozes catchy electro-bass thumping beats, layered breathy vocals and sometimes trying-too-hard-to-be sexy whispering, especially in the chorus of "Hot, hot, hot, ahhhh." A backdrop of operatic cries and orchestral sounds are added for good measure. Chalk up another club-frenzied insta-hit.
EOnline.com: Britney Spears may have more than a music video in mind as she hits the dance studio.
She could be getting ready to start performing live. I hear that producers of Cyndi Lauper’s second annual True Colors tour for gay rights may try to snag the pop princess for a performance or two.
This wouldn’t be their first attempt. They reportedly asked Spears last year to join Lauper, Rosie O’Donnell, Erasure, Debbie Harry and the MisShapes onstage at L.A.’s Greek Theater in June, but it never happened. A tour rep insisted at the time that Spears was invited for one of the Las Vegas dates, but she never got back to them.
Other reports claimed Lauper & Co. nixed Spears when she reportedly said she would only dance or lip-synch her performance.
The new 24-city North American tour, presented by gay cable network Logo, kicks off May 31 at Boston’s Bank of America Pavilion. Performers include O’Donnell, the B-52s, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Deborah Cox, Indigo Girls and comedian Wanda Sykes.

Britney Spears' life has been relatively quiet--until now. E! News is reporting that the former pop princess has been getting numerous threats in the mail, including letters and packages.
A source close to the singer says the disturbing correspondence reportedly includes one letter mentioning "how to bomb" and other "weird gibberish". The threats have become so severe, the source says, that Britney's fam has decided to turn everything over to law enforcement.
"To be safe, her security team is turning it all over to the police and FBI," a friend of the singer said. "A lot of it was disturbing stalker kind of stuff."
A rep for the LAPD would not elaborate but did say that they "have been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months."The threatening letters and packages were reportedly sent to multiple addresses linked to Britney.
On Friday a spokesperson for the FBI said the LAPD could not comment on ongoing investigations.
