Jamie Lynn and Casey Still a Couple

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

We've got to admit it, we had our doubts. We never thought they'd last — and yet, Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge are still together. Yes, really. (And yes, if you're wondering, Jamie's bump is showing and, better yet, we've got it on an exclusive video.)

We didn't believe it, until we saw it with our own eyes. Thanks to this couple, we're cynics no more. Our belief in love, in romance — and maybe even in Valentine's Day — has been restored, all thanks to Jamie Lynn and Casey.

On Saturday, the lovely couple went shopping at a mall in McComb, Miss. Jamie Lynn, 16, was wearing a baggy sweatshirt, and Casey walked by her side, holding a shopping bag from a nearby sporting goods store, Hibbett. Casey ignored a reporter's questions (about the baby, about Britney) but did answer the query, "Everything OK?" with "Pretty good." He was busy whispering to Jamie Lynn, walking by her side, then opening her car door for her first, among many other displays of gool ol' gentlemanly chivalry.

The next day, Jamie Lynn finally left the sweatshirt at home and wore a white T-shirt that revealed her small baby bump as she walked, hand in hand, with her man coming out of an Auto Zone store in Kentwood, La. He clutched her hand, looking at her lovingly.

Hey, we didn't believe it either. Watch the video to see for yourself how the doting-teenage father holds Jamie Lynn's hand, whispers in her ear, and generally behaves like any young teenage couple crazy in love (well, with the whole teen pregnancy celebrity thing thrown in).

Britney Spears Steps into Dance Class – As Teacher

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

Britney Spears has class – dance class, that is.

The 26-year-old singer – who's in the midst of a custody battle over her own kids, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1 – logged some quality kiddie time Monday, teaching dance an hour-long dance lesson to a group of six children.

"The class was amazing," Robert Baker, director of the Millennium Dance Complex, tells PEOPLE.

In addition to choreographed routines to vintage Madonna songs "True Blue" and "Material Girl" and "Holiday," Spears – wearing ripped fishnets, red boy-shorts and a blue top – also allowed her pupils to free-style dance.

"She even played age-appropriate games in a circle, pretending to be a choo-choo train," Baker said. "Britney was just amazing with the kids and everyone ended up having a blast. At the end of the hour class, all the kids hugged Britney and she seemed very happy."

Kids 'Thrilled'

The kids, aged 4 to 7, were selected from the studio's junior program. "The parents gave their permission," Baker said. "They were thrilled. One parent summed it up: 'It's a once in a lifetime event.'

" Well, maybe not. Spears had so much fun, "She asked to please teach a class tomorrow," said Baker, a longtime Spears friend. "We plan to put together a group of about 20 kids for her."

After the class wrapped up at 7 p.m., Spears – who has rehearsed at Millennium three times since Friday – spent another hour and a half working on a dance routine for her single "Hot as Ice."

"She seems very focused about getting back into her old life," said Baker. "[She's] focusing her energy on creating and dancing."

Britney Teaching Other People's Tots?

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

Without kids of her own to dance with, Britney Spears spent yesterday afternoon shakin' it with a bunch of youngsters not too much older than Sean Preston.

The Britwreck, reports Usmagazine.com, got the five-year-olds grooving to the sounds of Madonna -- "Material Girl," in particular -- while clad in fishnet stockings, a short skirt, and her fave brown boots. Apparently, says Millennium Dance Complex owner Robert Baker, she had to introduce herself to the kids.

Britney hasn't seen her own children since January 3.

Britney's Dad Didn't Trust Her Manager

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

Jamie Spears got permission to fire daughter Britney Spears's business manager after complaining the manager didn't follow directions and failed to turn over documents, court papers show.

The allegations are contained in a motion filed Feb. 7 by probate court attorneys for Jamie and Britney Spears. The motion was granted, allowing Jamie to fire manager Howard Grossman.

"The temporary co-conservators believe that they cannot trust Mr. Grossman to follow instruction," says the motion, made public Monday.

The motion alleges that when Spears was released from a psychiatric hospital, Grossman arranged for her to meet with visitors and attorneys in violation of court orders.

Grossman could not be reached Monday for comment. He previously told PEOPLE that he didn't understand why the conservators would want to fire him.

Court Docs: Howard Grossman Toxic

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

Court documents released today in the ongoing Britney Spears saga revealed that the singer's shady business manager Howard Grossman violated the conservatorship order granted to Jamie Spears and attorney Andrew Wallett.

Dad Jamie, miffed that Brit's money man arranged for transport of her vehicle to the Beverly Hills Hotel the day of her release from the UCLA Medical Center, now has the authority to fire Howard without objection from his daughter, so says Commissioner Reva Goetz.

Along with Wallett, Jamie will retain control over Britney's estate and welfare until February 14, when a hearing is scheduled to review the family Spears' current hold on their wayward daughter.

Also released in documents today was sworn testimony by Howard Grossman indicating that Osama Lutfi, former troop leader of Camp Britney, demanded money from him on the pop stars' behalf.

Britney Spears Teaches Children At Dance Class

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

Britney Spears taught dance to children not much older than her own boys on Monday at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood.

The pop star kicked off the class by introducing herself to each five year old and shaking their hand, a source said. “She comes in, she winds them up, and then tells them, ‘I guess I have to introduce myself to you guys!’” said Robert Baker, Millennium co-owner.

Britney looked happy and upbeat, he said. Madonna’s “Material Girl” and “True Blue” were part of her play list. Britney led the class in “her favorite brown cowboy boots, fishnet stockings, a red short skirt, and a bluish greenish top that hangs down past her skirt.”

“She worked out this great little routine for them, they were dancing all over the place, she had them dancing in a circle like a choo-choo train,” he said. “The kids loved it- they are having a ball right now. And Britney- she’s just drinking it up. She’s totally enjoying herself. It’s an amazing class- she and the kids are certainly enjoying the process.”

Parents for the seven kids waited outside while she taught. A little girl, who took the class, gushed, "We had so much fun. Britney was wearing little red shorts and she looked so pretty” as she and her mother headed to their car.

She last saw her sons, Sean and Jayden, on January 3 when she was rushed to Cedars-Sinai for a psychological evaluation. Her visitation rights were suspended soon after. Less than a month later, Britney was involuntarily committed for 10 days to UCLA Medical Center for treatment of bipolar disorder. She has been a staple at the studio since she was released Wednesday, Feb. 6.

“Britney’s telling me that she likes this so much that she’s thinking about making it a regular thing, possibly every other week. She loves to interact with the kids, and she feels that it’s important to give back to the dance community,” Baker said.

Britney Teaches Kids to Kick Up Their Heels

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

For a group of L.A.-area kids with dreams of being a dancer, a lesson from a famous hoofer is a memorable experience — and when that dancer happens to be Britney Spears, it's sure to be a day they'll never forget!

And that's exactly what's happening Monday night at the Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood, where the recently troubled star is continuing to try to get her life back in order by doing what she does best — entertaining. Except tonight, it's not just a couple of friends or family members looking on as Brit rehearses for her upcoming video shoot — it's a group of pre-adolescent dance students.

Brit arrived at Millennium, a favorite refuge of hers, around 6pm PT on Monday, hidden from the paparazzi. She was greeted by a group of eight children ages 4-9 — and certainly more than a few star-struck parents. An eyewitness tells OK! that Britney went up to each child and asked them their name and whether they liked Madonna, because that was the song they would be dancing to this evening.

Maya Meek, whose 8 year old son is in the class, tells OK!, "He didn't really know who Britney was, though he dances to all of her music. So when I told him 'this is the lady who makes all the songs you like,' he got very excited," says Meek. "He learned about Britney through Jamie Lynn, because he's a big fan of Zoey 101.

"Even though Britney could easily charge an enormous amount of cash for tonight's lesson, she's working on a volunteer basis, and it isn't the first time. Britney has shared her years of dance experience with pre-teen hopefuls before. In the not-so-distant past, she would often pop in for surprise tutorials at Millennium.

Just before 6:30 p.m. PT, one of Britney's assitants came down to talk to the waiting mothers outside the studio, and told them that the kids were all doing "amazingly well" and that they were following every step. The assistant said Britney had a second assistant dancing behind the kids so that when they turned during their routine, they'd have someone behind them to follow.

Class ended at 6:50 p.m. An eyewitness tells OK! that the kids learned a variety of fun dances, including "the fish," "the swim" and "the choo choo train" in which the kids grabbed onto each other and hopped around like a train making choo choo noises. Brit then had the kids show off some of their own moves. The group formed a circle and each one got to dance alone in the center of the circle.

All in all, it sounds like everyone had a good time tonight, including Britney. Let's only hope that these lessons, like her regular rehearsals, become part of Brit's new career-focused routine!

Sam Lutfi Reportedly Demanded Money from Britney Spears

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

Sam Lutfi "made various demands" of Britney Spears, "including demands for money," court documents in the singer's conservatorship case claim.

The revelation was part of a declaration submitted by attorney Jeryll Cohen, who is representing Jamie Spears, Britney's father and co-conservator.

Cohen said that Spears' business manager, Howard Grossman, told her of the "numerous emails" from Lutfi with the demands.

Cohen is seeking the dismissal of Grossman by Spears' conservators – Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet – because, in part, he will not turn over the emails despite a court order

Cohen's filing claims that despite a court order stating that Spears lacked capacity to retain an attorney, Grossman arranged for a meeting between Spears and Adam Streisand, an attorney who claimed to represented the singer.

Also, the declaration says that Grossman authorized one of Spears' Mercedes to be delivered to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel despite a court order to only release her cars to representatives of Jamie or Wallet.

With Jamie in charge, Lutfi was banned from contacting Spears.

Jamie and Wallet were named co-conservators of the singer's legal, medical, and financial decisions on February 1.

The court's decision to put them in charge was the worst-case scenario for Spears, sources told Us, as she has never been close to her father (who battled alcohol abuse during her childhood and was verbally abusive).

Spears was released from the UCLA Medical Center on February 6 after a week of treatment. She had been expected to remain hospitalized for another 10 days.

The singer was involuntarily committed to treatment for bipolar disorder on January 31.

OK! Exclusive: Brit's $6,000 Hairdo

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

It's time for Britney Spears to say goodbye to that neon pink fright wig she so adored wearing before her court-ordered hospitalization. The pop princess is getting some fake hair — maybe to go with that fake British accent?

To add a little length to her tired tresses, which haven't been the same since the infamous head-shaving incident of 2007, Brit requested some new extensions be put in by her stylist, Kim Vo.

And this lock-lengthening comes at a pretty steep cost. While he won't name the number on this specific price tag Vo reveals to OK! that, “a house call for new extensions can be up to $6,000.”

But unlike some celebs who save their millions by using their fame to get free cuts, colors and styles, Vo tells OK!, “We will be sending her a bill.”

Maybe Brit could auction off that pink wig on eBay!

Brit's Manager Allegedly Uses Mercedes Ploy

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

New documents were filed in the Brit conservatorship hearing last Thursday -- and now we know why the conservators want to give Brit's business manager the ax.

Lawyers for the conservators accused business manager Howard Grossman of ignoring their ground rules. One lawyer wrote in a declaration that she told Grossman "he was not permitted to give Britney any money, credit cards or access to money or credit cards or to meet with her ... at the Beverly Hills Hotel or anywhere else.

"The lawyer claims Grossman defied the order by meeting Brit at the Bev Hills Hotel last week. The lawyer, Jeryll Cohen, is pissed off because Grossman also directed Bev Hills Mercedes to deliver one of Britney's cars to the hotel without first getting the conservators' permission. Cohen says Grossman's lame excuse was that "he wanted to build her [Brit's] confidence in him."

"Cohen and the other lawyers have asked the court commissioner to let the conservators fire Mr. Grossman, in part because they say he has refused to provide copies of Lutfi's e-mails to them.

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears Out With Casey Aldridge in Kentwood

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

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears made a rare appearance in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

Hiding her bump in a baggy hooded-sweatshirt, the Zoey 101 star, took her black and white puppy to the veterinarian Friday.

(The 16-year-old wore a similar oversized sweatshirt when she was last photographed leaving a GED class with her mom Lynne January 4.)

On Saturday and Sunday, Spears went out with her beau, Casey Aldridge, the father of her baby.

Hand-in-hand, they went to a convenience store Saturday. Spears sported a white Heineken beer T-shirt that showed the faintest hint of her growing stomach.

The next day, Spears and Aldridge ran errands, stopping to kiss every now and then.

Her dad is currently in Beverly Hills looking after older sis Britney.

The Wig is Up!

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

“When the pink wig comes on, it’s getting bad,” Sam Lutfi told Us Weekly about Britney Spears' erratic, and wig-related, antics, but it seems that Brit’s father, Jamie, is trying to put a stop to the insanity. Papa Spears was spotted heading to his apartment with an armful of laundry, but there's one particular item we spy — the pink wig! (Actually, that’s a lie, we can’t help but notice the Corona T-shirt, LSU cap and a double dip of glasses — all that’s missing is a beer cozy.) Hopefully the fact that Britney no longer has the pink wig of wackiness in her possession means we won’t be subjected to her crazy, Brit-speak rantings and ravings anymore… although that kind of disguise looks like it comes in packs of three for $1.

While Jamie was on wig-watch, and every other celebrity was getting primped for the Grammy awards, Britney visited some old friends — the staff at Starbucks. Apparently the things she missed most while undergoing treatment in UCLA Medical Center were their Frappuccinos and friendly faces, so she popped in to a Westwood, Calif., outpost yesterday for some quality-time… in the bathroom. Yep, Brit skipped her traditional Venti Frap and headed straight for the ladies' room while her new security team hovered outside the door — liking the job so far, fellas?

Britney eventually emerged from the restroom, but will the once-brilliant pop star we fell in love with ever resurface? Hey, Amy Winehouse has made a go of it, so can Brit!

Indeed, says one photo-agency head, "whoever muscles their way to the front gets the best picture." Says another, "It's too dangerous ... She goes through a yellow light, you go through a red. People break laws."

What Is Kevin Hiding?

The following italicized article is taken from www.x17online.com:

Last week, Mark Vincent Kaplan's former spokesperson, Michael Sands, told X17 he was subpoenaed to be deposed for Britney and Kevin's ongoing custody battle.

As the former media spokesperson for K-Fed's attorney, Michael was apparently privy to a lot of information that Kevin and his lawyer don't want exposed!

Life & Style has obtained a letter from Mark Vincent Kaplan, delivered to Michael Sands, requesting "copies of any documents you [Sands] intend to produce in response to the subpoena so that we may review the documents to determine any appropriate objection and basis for protective order."

So what exactly does Mark Vincent Kaplan have to hide?

An insider tells the mag: "Mark wants all emails, hand written records, notes, meeting notes, phone call notes and records, anything that has to do with his client Kevin Federline, to be handed over. He doesn't want anyone seeing the things that have been said privately, and doesn't want anyone to know about the secret plans and quotes said behind closed doors with regards to Britney."

The source goes on to say, "there are a lot of people that are starting to see that what's going on is not as pretty as it seems. Britney is mentally ill, and Kevin and Mark Vincent Kaplan have been making her look bad, taking her to court, keeping her from the kids."

I guess we'll find out more when Michael's deposed on February 20th!

She's not the only one who wants to reach out to Sam. Process servers can't seem to track him down—going on nine days now—but multiple sources confirm to E! News that Lutfi attended Paris Hilton's birthday party at Area on Saturday night...in plain sight!

Inside Area, sources tell E! News that "a relaxed and happy-to-be-out again" Lutfi partied in a VIP area with other Brit-Packers Alli Sims, Hilton and Brit pal Claus Hjelmbak. "At one point, they all toasted and cheered Britney," says an Area partygoer.

Sam was seen arriving at Area around 11:15 p.m. and left around 1:30 a.m., being ushered quickly into an SUV by a security detail and driven off down La Cienega Boulevard.

Here's a hint for Jamie Spears' process servers: We hear Lutfi is currently holed up in his West L.A. apartment—and if that doesn't work, try Paris' next bash?
