Britney & Lynne Spears Do Some Bonding

Britney and Mama Lynne Spears have been spending quite a bit of time together since Lynne’s arrival in SoCal last week (she arrived in LA a few weeks after the birth of Jamie Lynn’s first child last month). Lynne, lookin’ really supertanned and rockin’ some new highlights, has been by Britney’s side since her arrival last Wednesday and was present when Britters enjoyed an overnight visit with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James this weekend. Here are a few pics of Britney and Lynne enjoying some bonding time this weekend while shopping:
It was a family affair Saturday as Lynne Spears hung out with Britney and her sons Preston and Jayden for an overnight visit at the star’s Studio City home. In town since Wednesday, Lynne and Britney have been enjoying some mother-daughter bonding, shopping at the True Religion warehouse and Pottery Barn on Friday before enjoying a “girls dinner” of salad, sushi rolls, and fish at Bond St. restaurant with two of Britney’s pals. “Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff,” says an observer. “She looked gorgeous, and I have never seen her in a better mood. She was laughing the whole time she was here. Britney seemed to have the best time hanging out with her mom and friends.”

I guess it was Papa Jamie Spears’s weekend off (it must be tiring being Britney’s full-time conservator) because he spent the weekend at his new Santa Monica home. It looks like Lynne is really feeling good about herself … a new tan, a new haircut with highlights (mebbe she and Jamie Lynn went to a salon for their buy one, get one free highlighting event?) — a new lease on life! I wonder if some of that $1 million bucks from OK! magazine is being used for more than diapers and baby formula. In any event, it’s great seeing mother and daughter enjoying one another’s company.

Guess Who’s In An Elevator

Okay … so this isn’t really a Guess Who post … I think it’s safe to say that everyone would be able to guess that the following photos are of Britney Spears filming her much baley-hooed video scenes for Madonna’s upcoming Sticky & Sweet World Tour:
Apparently E! got the first footage of Britney filming these scenes, footage which natch has already made its way to the InterWeb. Those of you who don’t want to be spoiled should refrain from reading the rest of this post. After the jump, check out two more pics of Britney in the elevator shooting her scenes …
As you may recall, Madonna enlisted Britney’s help to shoot scenes to be displayed during her upcoming world tour and some of the deets from the collabo mentioned that a portion of Britney’s scenes were shot inside of an elevator. These pics seem to confirm the talk of the elevator scenes. Woot! I can’t wait to see the final product. Britney looks great, she always cleans up well. What do you think, will this collabo with Madonna be supercool or mebbe notsomuch?

Brit's Final Custody Hearing Delayed

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

Britney Spears, her mother Lynne Spears and legal friend Blair Berk were expected to attend the final hearing in Brit's custody case on Tuesday before her five-day trial begins on August 25. But now OK! has confirmed that the hearing has been delayed until Friday.

The reason? Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, says he needs the time to prepare.

"It was my idea to delay it for a day," Kaplan told OK! on Monday. "But the next available day for Wasser and I was Friday, simple as that. I think I will know better what is needed to go to trial then, than I do now."

Kaplan says the delay has nothing to do with any kind of settlement.

"It's more for technical reasons in a complicated case like this," he told OK!. The door is open if [Laura] Wasser and Blair Berk want to walk through it, but there is no delay because of an impending settlement."

A previous mediation to settle Brit's custody case failed, leaving K-Fed's option for sole legal and physical custody of their two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, on the table.

Court insiders have speculated that the singer could request further mediation to avoid going to trial, and in the meantime may ask for more visitation.

Meanwhile, Kevin and his lawyers are moving full steam ahead in order to win permanent full custody.

"I'm preparing to go to trial until I don't have a reason to go to trial," Kaplan told OK! on Monday.

Brit and K-Fed: Will They Fight or Settle?

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

The Brit/K-Fed child custody saga has been postponed, and we here at TMZ smell something.

The lawyers were supposed to yak it up in court tomorrow morning. They were planning on talking about next month's trial over custody. A trial seems weird, because there's a conservatorship in place and it doesn't seem kosher to duke it out in custody court, at least now.

But here's the clue. Tomorrow's hearing has been rescheduled for Friday. When cases get postponed like that, there's a chance the lawyers are trying to settle it and buy more time.

Stay tuned.

What The Future Holds For Britney

The following italicized article os from www.x17online.com:

On July 31st, Jamie Spears' conservatorship over his daughter Britney - in which he's being paid $2500 a week! - is set to expire...

Is Britney Better?

It's been a long time coming! Jamie has been in charge of Brit's affairs, everything from medical to legal, for about six months now. And in that time, Brit looks to have gotten a lot better! Check her out in the pix above from this weekend, shopping and getting dinner with her mom Lynne... what do you think, has her health improved?

Catch-22

Problem is, whether or not the conservatorship expires or is extended will mean a double-edged sword for Britney. If the judge continues Jamie Spears' control over his daughter's estate, this might better secure Brit's visitation with her two boys (right now, she has overnight visitation with Sean Preston and Jayden James).

BUT, if Brit is indeed deemed well enough for the conservatorship to expire, that might have a negative effect in her custody battle with ex Kevin Federline... will she risk losing her visitation rights with the kids? Will the judge not rule in her favor then? We hope not!

The Restraining Order

There's also the matter of Brit's former BFF Sam Lutfi, who is to remain 250 yards away from the pop star at all times due to the restraining order against him...
The hearing for this is set for July 31st as well. Talk about a busy day for our girl Brit! How do you think it'll all go down?

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 Spears and Kevin Federline reach custody agreement?

The following italicized article os from www.nowmagazine.co.uk:

Former couple to put proposal to court tomorrow.

Britney Spears and ex husband Kevin Federline are said to have agreed to share care of their sons.

Last month the judge overseeing their custody case asked the former couple to try to reach a settlement between themselves.

And now insiders claim that Britney, 26, and K-Fed, 30, will put forward their proposal to LA Superior Court at a private hearing tomorrow.

‘Commissioner Alan Gordon told Britney and Kevin to mediate a deal to avoid the nightmare of a trial,’ says a source. ‘It seems they’ve done that and it all now hinges on whether the judge agrees with what they put to him.’

It's hoped he will accept that Britney is well enough to look after Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 21 months.

‘She’s in terrific spirits and is extremely hopeful that the judge will allow her to become a proper mum again,’ the source tells the Daily Star Sunday.

‘She believes she’s within sight of being the woman she once was and wants to rebuild her life as well as her career.'

6 months after near self-destruct, Britney Spears is all about music & kids

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

Six months ago she was forcibly strapped to a stretcher and placed on psychiatric hold in two different hospitals.

A judge cut off all contact with her two toddler sons.

Her "Blackout" album failed to go platinum as a deafening papaparazzi circus took the place of actual promotion.

It seemed like an irreversible slide destined to end in tragedy. That was then.

Six months later, a feisty and focused Britney Spears is putting her life back together.

"She's the best I've seen her in three years," a well-placed source in Britney's camp told the Daily News. "She has her kids back now and she's working on a new album. Hopefully it will be out by the end of the year."

Britney, 26, isn't stopping with music. She's reading TV treatments and looking to executive produce a show in the same vein as Ashton Kutcher or Randy Jackson, the source said.

"It has to be organic to her, maybe something related to music or fashion," the source said.

As for acting, she's shopping for a supporting role in a romantic comedy to follow up her well-received cameo on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," the source said. She also stepped in front of the camera last week when she taped a video short for the stage show of Madonna's upcoming "Sticky & Sweet" tour.

"These are baby steps. She's taking every opportunity to see her kids, and the last thing she'll do is tour for three months or take the lead in a feature and be away from them again," the source said. "Maybe she'll go out on tour after the new year, but something short."

Last month a judge reinstated Britney's overnight visits with Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, after she patched things up with divorce lawyer Laura Wasser and made a "businesslike" court appearance opposite ex-husband Kevin Federline.

"The overnight visits are great positive reinforcement for her. She almost has the equivalent of one-third custody back, and being able to care for them is enormously helpful to her progress," another source close to the singer said.

A custody trial is set for next month, and Britney remains under a court-ordered conservatorship run by dad, Jamie Spears, at least until July 31.

It was Jamie and Britney's once-estranged mom, Lynne, who swooped in last January, won a restraining order against mock manager Sam Lutfi and brought Larry Rudolph, who discovered Britney at 13 and built her career, back into the fold.

Now the paparazzi who snapped the minutiae of her meltdowns are filing photos of Britney hitting the gym, working on her sixth album or vacationing with fellow rehabber Mel Gibson, another client of her powerhouse criminal lawyer Blair Berk.

"She's a true professional in the studio. She's very focused, and she stays as long as it takes to get the job done," said songwriter James (Jim Beanz) Washington, who's collaborating with Britney and mega-producer Nate (Danjahandz) Hills on the new Jive Records album.

Experts say a triumphant comeback is possible if Britney stays focused.

"We heard all this talk of a comeback last year, but she wasn't committed. She seemed committed to becoming a train wreck, not the beloved pop star," said Morris Reid of Washington image consultancy Westin Rinehart.

"We know this woman is talented. And who knows, maybe all the pain is both a curse and a gift," he said. "Difficult times are when some artists create their best work. She could use her music to express her feelings right now. And we all know people are interested in Britney's feelings

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.

Britney Spears Nude for Controversial Madonna Video

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

Britney Spears strips nude for Madonna and has been filming a top secret "fetish" video that will be broadcast to the crowd during Madonna's upcoming world tour via 20 foot screens, a new report claims. The two stars will perform a mash-up of the Madonna track Beat Goes On and Brit Brit's Piece Of Me, while they are unwrapped from costumes that can only be described as bondage-fetish mummy. The pair appear in the video nearly nude reports the UK Sun.

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.

Madonna and Britney Spears to perform bondage routine together

The following italicized article is from www.welt.de:

The two pop stars, who caused controversy when they kissed at the 2003 MTV Music Awards, will appear in bandages, bondage pants and knee-high boots.

The footage, which will include the pair gyrating against each other, will be screened to fans on Madonna's 'Sticky and Sweet' world tour via 20ft screens. A source said: "It is classic Madonna, probably the raunchiest stuff she has ever done. It leaves nothing to the imagination and it will be very controversial. "Britney and Madonna are unwrapped like mummies to appear together almost naked apart from tiny leather bondage pants and knee-high boots. They then dance closely together, pressing their hands and bodies together.

There will be big rows over whether it is sexy, shocking or both." The pair will perform a mix of Madonna's track 'Beat Goes On' and Britney's 'Piece of Me'. Britney will also dance to Madonna's 1995 hit 'Human Nature', which will include one scene where she loses her mind after getting stuck in a lift.

The source added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "We'll see her going crazy in an enclosed space - screaming, pulling her hair and banging her fists against the lift's walls as it gets stuck between floors. She really loses it."

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: Out With Mom

The following italicized article is from www.celebrity-gossip.net:

Long gone are the days of seeing her cruising around aimlessly with Adnan Ghalib or Sam Lutfi, and last night Britney Spears was seen out and about with her mother, Lynne.

The pop princess and her mom were spotted in a chauffeured car at Glenwood Place. Lynne arrived on Wednesday evening to spend some time with her eldest daughter, as she’s been tending to Brit’s little sis/new mommy Jamie Lynn as of late.

And as an update to the Gossip Girls’ reports on Britney’s video for Madonna’s upcoming tour, it seems she filmed a rather intense scene earlier this week that is sure to get concert goers on their feet.

According to a report, the “Gimme More” songstress finds herself wearing a black hoodie while trapped in an elevator. She “starts to kick the wall and hit things. At one point she screams into the camera. In a state of panic Spears takes off the hood, revealing her long blonde locks, looks straight into the camera and says her famous line ‘It’s Britney, b**ch.’”

Britney Spears to go Insane in Madonna Video

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

Britney Spears filmed a claustrophobic elevator scene in Santa Monica Wednesday to be used on Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour, a source confirms to Usmagazine.com.

"She [was] shot in the elevator that is surrounded by seven cameras," a source tells Us.

"Britney walks into the elevator wearing a black hoodie, and you can't see it's her at first," the source adds. "As the elevator goes up, it becomes clear it's Britney and she's anxious and nervous."

Realizing she can't get out, she "starts to kick the wall and hit things," the source adds. "At one point she screams into the camera."

Her parting shot? Spears, 26, takes off her hoodie, looks straight into the camera and says her infamous lyric: "It's Britney, b-tch!"

Spears – sporting long, platinum blonde hair – arrived at The Lots in Santa Monica at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning to record her part.

On Monday, Madonna's rep Liz Rosenberg confirmed Spears would be virtually reuniting with Madonna – whom she famously kissed at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
