Britney Spears Defies Diet Plan With Fast Food Binges

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

Britney Spears is putting her comeback in jeopardy by binging on fast food, it has been claimed.

According to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, the singer, 27, is ignoring the 1,200 calories-a-day diet devised for her by her managers by gorging on burgers and chips.

A source tells the publication, "Britney's been eating burgers and chips for lunch in complete defiance of the strict eating plan worked out for her.

"It's as if she's trying to defy her father and bosses, and break out of the controlled environment by turning away from the healthy lifestyle they've put in place."

"Every decision in her life is made for her and she's kept under the strictest watch to make sure her comeback is a success. Eating her favourite foods is one of the few ways she can control things."

Spears - who has been under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, since her high-profile breakdown earlier this year - has shed 28lbs since July after being put on a strict exercise regime and diet as part of her continuing recovery.

However, she recently claimed the strict conditions of her new lifestyle make her feel trapped.

She said, "When I tell people the way I feel, they hear me, but they aren't really listening. I'm sad. Even when you go to jail, there is always the time you know you are going to get out, you know? But in this situation, it's never ending. "

Start drying your eyes and brushing up on your pick-up lines, boys: despite a report by the UK's The Daily Mirror, it seems Britney Spears does not have a new boyfriend.

On that note, the Britster also did not fly to India over Christmas to be with alleged Bollywood boyfriend Sandip Soparrkar, who was inaccurately named as the choreographer of her "Womanizer" video (dance moves were instead coordinated by longtime choreographer Andre Fuentes).

"Britney is not in India," a source tells E! News, with another source calling the story, "a total fabrication." All signs point to Britney spending Christmas at home in L.A. with her two sons Jayden and Sean.

In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, the entertainment media's love affair with Britney Spears continued throughout 2008.

The pop star ranks No. 1 for the year in USA TODAY's Celebrity Heat Index, which measures exposure in print and online entertainment news outlets. Spears, who was No. 1 in 2007, took the top spot 11 weeks this year, the most of any celebrity.

She first appeared at No. 1 on the index in January, when she had two stints in psychiatric wards after displaying erratic behavior.

Brian Friedman's Britney party

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

Brian Friedman has revealed touring with Britney Spears was the best party of his life.

The X Factor choreographer worked with the star before she had her breakdown and tamed her wild ways and told Star magazine she "partied hard".

Brian revealed: "I worked with Britney in 2002 - being on tour with her was the best couple of months of my life. We saw Europe through beer goggles. It was incredible, we partied hard.
"Then I worked with her again just over a year ago. I've seen her a few times since then, too, she's looking incredible right now, better than ever.

"She's in a really good mental and physical state. She's ready to take over the world. She's now referred to as the Queen of Pop - she's not the Princess of Pop anymore."

The former backing dancer also feels a duet between between Britney and her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake could be on the cards.

He said: "I really hope so. There's been a lot of talk about it. I know Britney's keen, it's bound to happen in time. We'll just have to wait. They'll become the King and Queen of Pop for real!"

Britney Dating Bollywood Dance Instructor

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

Britney Spears has dated some fast movers and now she’s been swept off her feet by another – a Bollywood dance instructor.

The Toxic star has been seeing Sandip Soparrkar, who choreographed her raunchy Womanizer video.

Britney, 27, even flew to Jodhpur for a romantic three-day Christmas break with Sandip who is a pin-up in his native India.

The couple, who have been dating for three weeks, exchanged homemade pressies under the tree.

Our source reveals: “It’s early days but their romance is going from strength to strength.

“Britney and Sandip tried to keep their reunion in India hush-hush as they’re determined to have a relationship just like any other couple.

“Sandip is very down to earth and keeps Britney grounded. He’s also quite spiritual and sensitive, which is a side of him she adores.

“For Christmas, Sandip – or Sandy as Britney calls him – presented her with a traditional Indian sari. She wore it during a candlelit dinner.

“The pair were whispering and giggling all night. Sandy ordered local delicacies including chicken tikka and a cottage cheese curry. Britney was nicking the dough balls from his plate. It was really cute.”

Britney, who met Sandip at a party thrown by Madonna earlier this year, is spending the New Year back in LA. And Sandy may jet over to see in 2009 with her.

Her latest love is a far cry from her badboy exes, who include ex hubby Kevin Federline, Brit snapper Adnan Ghalib and Irish playboy Colin Farrell.

In contrast, the only bad habit clean-cut Sandy is passing on to Britney is a love of sugar.

The smitten star took home 3kg of churma – Indian nutmeg cakes – for her two sons. Ahh, how sweet!

Britney Spears Plots Drinking Allegations Against Jamie Spears

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

Britney Spears hopes false drinking allegations against her father will help her reclaim her freedom.

This year’s Comeback Kid is complaining that Daddy Spears will not let her act like an adult since a court appointed the former chief permanent conservator of her affairs in October, and tabloid moles claim Britney has hatched a sinister plan to have her dad ousted as her legal guardian.

The 27-year-old pop star is plotting to allege that Jamie, a recovering alcoholic, has fallen off the wagon and then take the evidence to court, according to The National Enquirer.

Jamie checked himself into rehab for dependency on alcohol and painkillers in 2004.

“Britney wants to set up her dad and prove he shouldn’t be charge of her career decisions and money….She’s worked her butt off for years, and her father has nothing to do with her success.”

“Britney is desperate to be released from her father Jamie’s control,” one snitch whispers. “She wants to be able to act like an adult, but she says her father won’t let her.”

The Enquirer spy adds, “If the conservatorship is continued, her backup plan is to have her father replaced by her mother Lynne because she’s less rigid.”

Congrats, Britney!!!

Britney Spears’ Sex Disguise

Britney Spears reportedly snuck out of her home in disguise for a secret sex session.

The ‘Womanizer’ singer apparently defied her father Jamie’s ban on men to enjoy the saucy rendezvous with a mystery friend – and even bragged of her romp when she got home.

A source said: “She’s been a prisoner in her own home and began to crave affection and attention from someone other than her parents, which is only natural.

“She told her dad she got a ride with the person she’d arranged to meet and gone to their house in Los Angeles for a few hours.

“She told him not to worry and that it was someone she’d known a long time who was a good person and wouldn’t hurt her.”

However, Jamie – who is co-conservator of her estate following her public meltdown last year – was apparently furious over the incident.

The source added to Britain’s Now magazine: “Britney told him that she was a grown woman and ordered him to get out of her room. She didn’t come out for the rest of the day.”

Britney Spears Hair Extensions Line

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

Britney Spears is launching her own line of hair extensions!

The pop star, who has sported a variety of fake locks since shaving her head in February 2007, is working on introducing a collection of weave to her fans.

“After nearly two years of trying to hide the hideous haircut Britney gave herself, she’s become an expert on weaves, wigs and extensions,” an insider revealed in the January 5 issue of the National Enquirer. “That’s what gave her the idea to launch her own product line.”

“There was a time when Britney dreaded having to wear a wig or extensions whenever she went out in public, but now she’s gotten hooked on them because they’re so much easier than dealing with cuts, coloring and styling.”

“She’s eager to prove that in addition to being a world-class entertainer, she’s also a shrewd businesswoman.”

Sources say the collection will debut in stores just in time for the March 2009 launch of Britney’s upcoming Circus World Tour. In fact, the 27-year-old is already consulting with celebrity hair maven Kim Vo, who may assist with the launch.

“The project is still in its early stages, but Britney is getting involved in the entire process – from manufacturing to marketing and distribution.”

Merry Christmas

Everyone here at the BTI team wants to wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year.

2008 has been a year with many ups and downs for Britney. She has seen things we can only imagine, she has been through so much pain and grieve and the fact that she was able to overcome all of it is amazing. She truly is an inspiration to each and everyone of us that everything is possible, you have to work for it and sacrifice things but it is possible.

Britney is my role model, and I hope yours too. She inspires me to work for things and not quit when I don't like what I see on the horizon. She made me realise that life isn't always fun and that it can be very, very dark but that it's about those fun times. Everyone has bad times but it's about what you do to overcome those bad times, it's about the choices you make from that point. You can choose to be happy.

Godspeed and merry christmas to all!
