Nearly Naked Celeb of the Day: Britney Spears and...

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

All those trips to the gym are clearly paying off for Britney Spears, who was in fine form during a weekend getaway down in Cabo San Lucas.

But while ogling at the pop star's toned and muscular bod, we naturally can't help but wonder about the mystery man who somehow managed to get a grip on her sinewy structure.

So just who is this guy, anyway? Is he merely a friend? Or something more? We've heard rumblings that he could be a bodyguard named Lee...but maybe you know better?

Britney Spears Takes A Holiday

Our dear Britney Spears has decided to flee the country, at least for the weekend, and was spotted in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico bikini-clad and basking in the sun. She was also photographed enjoying an impromptu poolside dance with a handsome stranger … after the week she’s had (agreeing to settle her 2-year long custody battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline) she was prolly in the mood for a little vacay:
With her custody drama with Kevin Federline finally over, Britney Spears is back in shape and ready for fun. The pop star escaped to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for a sunshine holiday with a group of friends, including longtime pal George Maloof, who owns the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. After slipping into a skimpy white bikini, the singer flirted up a storm with another male companion, giggling as the pair danced around the pool arm-in-arm. And for posterity … a female friend caught all the action on a video camera. The party later moved to the beach, where Britney frolicked on the foreshore before cooling her heels in the sea. The star is making the most of her free time after officially agreeing to give her ex husband Kevin Federline sole custody of the couple’s two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1.

I, for one, think it’s a great idea for her to get away for a bit and to get in some relaxation time. I imagine it wasn’t very easy for her to decide to end the custody battle with K-Fed but, it is my contention, that her compliance is part of a bigger plan to one day win back physical custody of her children. Without going out into my guesswork again, I’ll just say that Britney is finally seeing the bigger picture and is working for a lasting resolution that will hopefully work in her favor one day. In the meantime, she deserves a vacay holiday … and with a handsome gent, to boot. Good for her. I’m deffo in her corner.

Rumors continue to swirl concerning her possible appearance at the 2008 MTV VMAs in September … I pray she does make a triumphant return. If so, she will deffo do it right this time, I just know it :)

Bikini Britney Tangos Poolside With A Mystery Man In Mexico

With her custody drama with Kevin Federline finally over, Britney Spears is back in shape and ready for fun.

The pop star escaped to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for a sunshine holiday with a group of friends, including longtime pal George Maloof, who owns the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

After slipping into a skimpy white bikini, the singer flirted up a storm with another male companion, giggling as the pair danced around the pool arm-in-arm.

And for posterity - or perhaps another disastrous reality show - a female friend caught all the action on a video camera.

The party later moved to the beach, where Britney frolicked on the foreshore before cooling her heels in the sea.

The star is making the most of her free time after officially agreeing to give her ex husband Kevin Federline sole custody of the couple's two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1.

She is currently allowed two visits and one overnight per week in the settlement.

In good news for the troubled 26-year-old, she has just been nominated in online voting for best female video for her Piece of Me at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

She'll go up against Katy Perry for I Kissed a Girl, Jordin Sparks for No Air, Rihanna for Take a Bow, and Mariah Carey for Touch My Body nominees for Best Female Video.

It's unclear if Britney will make an appearance at show on Sept. 7 at Paramount studios in L.A.

Of course, the awards ceremony was the scene of her shambolic performance of Gimme More in 2007.

The show's producers are said to be hesitant to let her perform again, with a source adding:

'They are going to leave it up until the week before to decide. But they can only advise her - Brit will do her own thing.'

The singer is also focusing on making another album this year.

Her reinstated manager Larry Rudolph announced this month: 'Britney is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album.

'She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters, and we're very excited about what she's accomplished so far. No album release date has been confirmed yet.'

Following her two well-document visits to hospital this year, Rudolph says Britney is finally getting back on track.

'She's got people around her that really care about her and are there to point her in the right direction in respect to the things she should be concentrating on - her life.'

The Pussycat Dolls On Britney’s Deleted Video Cameo: ‘We Love Her!’

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

Britney Spears’ reported cameo may not have made it into the Pussycat Dolls’ video for “When I Grow Up,” but in an exclusive interview with Access Hollywood, the Dolls say Brit wasn’t to blame.

“It’s not a secret,” the pop quintet’s Melody Thornton told Access. “There are a lot of things that you do that don’t necessarily make the video and that didn’t, for whatever reason.”

“She came out, she did a cameo,” added lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, though Melody noted that Britney didn’t work directly with the Pussycat Dolls. According to VH1, in Britney’s deleted scene, she drove a car, waved at the Dolls in traffic and looked “hot and blonde.”

There are definitely no hard feelings from the five Dolls, who hope to work with the singer again.

“We love her, we’re all huge fans of Britney, always have been,” Scherzinger said. “We totally support her. Not everything makes the final cut but we want to do something with her in the future.”

“I was personally bummed because I really like Britney,” added Jessica Sutta, before declaring, “So Britney, if you’re watching, we want you!”

Spears Can Regain Health After Custody Battle

The following italicized article is from www.pr-inside.com:

BRITNEY SPEARS is "thrilled" her custody battle with KEVIN FEDERLINE is over - because she can now concentrate on "getting better".

Federline and Spears finally agreed on the custody of their two sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, during a hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday (25Jul08).

Spears was ordered to increase her monthly child support by $5,000 (£2,500).

There were no amendments to Spears’ visitation rights - she currently enjoys three days and one night a week with her sons.

But Spears’ attorney Laura Wasser says the singer is delighted with the agreement - because her sons inspire her to improve her mental health.

Wasser tells People.com, "She’s thrilled. To have more time with her kids has been her motivation to get well. In light of her outstanding conservatorship, she couldn’t have asked for anything more."

Spears was admitted to Los Angeles psychiatric clinic earlier this year (Jan08). Doctors said the 26-year-old was no longer a danger to herself since being admitted and treated for her increasingly erratic behaviour.

I'll Make Brit A Hit

The following italicized article is from www.sundaymail.co.uk:

BRITNEY SPEARS will be the biggest star in the world next year - according to the man who is penning songs for her new album.

British producer, songwriter and chart star Taio Cruz, 23, is working on songs for the fallen idol.

Taio believes Britney will once again conquer the world - and that she was forced into recording her last album too soon.

He told Email: "I have been writing and producing tracks for the new Britney record but as always with her, I'm not allowed to talk about the sound.

"Her career is riding on this record so I need to sit down and talk to her to make sure she is ready.

"The songs will be good - she has Kanye, Pharrell, Timbaland and me doing tracks for her.

"It is more a matter of whether she is mentally and physically ready for this. On the last album, Blackout, she was tired and people were forcing her to put another album out.

"If she is ready it will be huge - she just came with Blackout too early."

Taio notched up a hit album with his debut Departure this year and shot to superstar status as a songwriter and producer.

He said: "I am working with Shayne Ward, Leona Lewis, The Sugababes, Britney, Justin,
Anastasia...quite a few really. I have no idea when I'll have time to work on my own stuff.

"I can't do anything too out there or it will scare people off. I am only starting my second album - Justin Timberlake did five before he started doing what he wanted. Britney did loads of pop before she started doing cool stuff."

Taio loves working with Timberlake.

"He likes to do what people won't expect so the two of us listen to sounds from all over the world.
"We have a few ideas. It could even be bagpipes - I used them in a track ages ago, a nice sample over an R&B beat.

They could pop up on a Britney or Justin album."

Taio plays Glasgow's ABC 2 on August 13 and his new single She's Like A Star is out on August 18.

Britney Spears to be Cut From Madonna Tour?

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

Britney Spears' filmed scenes for Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour could be cut out, it has emerged.

The 'Like a Virgin' singer and Spears recorded the scenes to be broadcast on huge screens.

But Madonna -- known to friends as Em -- "hates" the video and is thinking about getting rid of it altogether.

A source close to Madonna says, "Britney looks amazing in the video but Em watched it and told them to take it out because she hated it.

"It was a scene where Britney was pretending to rip her own hair out."

It was claimed earlier this week that Madonna is in "meltdown" mode and has been ordered to cut back her work schedule.

A source said, "Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable.

"She's down physically and mentally. The situation with Guy is very, very tense. The way the press are going crazy with the A-Rod story, her brother’s book and her physical exhaustion are all taking their toll.

"Family tension with her father and two of her other siblings has also been awkward.

"She feels nobody has taken her side. One of her closest pals says she has never seen Madonna so low. She has been feeling low and looking really gaunt.

"Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings.

"She has a blood analysis done every few days — including one during last Friday’s rehearsal in front of everyone."

Spears, meanwhile, has been nominated for a VMA for her Piece of Me video.

Britney & Kevin's Custody Settlement Finalized

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

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's custody settlement was signed Friday by a judge, officially ending their nearly two-year custody battle.

In the deal reached last week, Federline retained sole custody of Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden, 1 1/2. Spears – who is currently allowed two visits and one overnight per week – will get an additional sleepover by year's end, barring any setbacks.

"She's thrilled," the pop star's attorney Laura Wasser told PEOPLE. "To have more time with her kids has been her motivation to get well. In light of her outstanding conservatorship, she couldn't have asked for anything more."

Spears also agreed to increase Federline's child support to $20,000 a month (a $5,000 increase) and pay off his $250,000 legal tab. Documents show the child support increase went into effect on July 15, and that Spears's father, who remains in legal control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing, approved of the settlement terms.

"This has been a long ordeal [for Kevin] and for it to be over makes him very happy," his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan previously said.

Legal experts say the former couple will undoubtedly return to court in the future, since custody settlements can always be modified.

Britney Settlement Papers: Blow By Blow

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

The Britney Spears trial is over. The case has officially settled.

Under the terms of the settlement filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, before July 30, Brit must pay K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Kaplan, $250,000 for fees.

As for child support, K-Fed has scored. As we first reported, he's getting 5k a month more -- it's gone from $15,000 to $20,000 a month.

The agreement does not mention visitation, but we know Brit has three days and one night a week with the kiddies and that will increase as time goes on. We're told by fall, she'll have a second overnight a week.

Brit never asked for custody, because she's still under a conservatorship. So K-Fed has sole custody and she has visitation rights. We're told Brit is ecstatic.

Britney Spears gives custody to Kevin Federline (and $5,000 more a month)

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

It's over, and Kevin Federline scored big time. And Britney has lost her kids.

According to the final custody agreement reached today (but not yet finalized), KFed gets sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.

And a five-grand increase in child support, going from $15,000 a month to $20,000.

And Britney Spears? She gets to keep seeing her kids with overnight visits. There's always a chance that in time she will get more custody.

But for right now, it's a monitered visitation deal. And, according to her lawyer, Laura Wasser, she has her kids tonight.

Maybe it's for the best — and in the best interest of the children right now — but it's sad when a mom loses custody of her kids.
