Britney/K-Fed: Rhymes with Mettlement

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

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have settled their child custody case ... finally.

Sources tell us the two have agreed to a custody arrangement that will give Brit more custody with their two kids by year's end. Currently, she sees Sean Preston and Jayden James three days a week with one overnight.

The settlement is a huge development because next month's trial is now kaput. We're told Brit, grandpa Jamie and K-Fed all wanted to avoid the expense, emotional wear and tear and media frenzy connected with a full-blown trial.

Interesting, we think -- Disso-queen Laura Wasser, who repped Brit from the get-go and was able to retain 50/50 custody even when her client was melting down, has been back on the case for only a month and the Brit ship is back afloat.

On K-Fed's side, his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was able to turn one of the most reviled guys in the U.S. of A. into Daddy Dearest and win him primary custody. The lawyers will be in court tomorrow to present the deal to Commish Scott Gordon for his approval.

What a world.

Britney and Kevin Settle Custody Battle

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

There will be no more out of control Britney and Kevin court dates because the custody battle has been settled before it could go to trial. Chances are it would get real messy if it went to trial and both parties are just trying to avoid that.

Both Kevin and Britney signed an agreement that reportedly gives Kevin sole custody and Britney visitation rights.

"The case has been settled," K. Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told E! Online. "The court still has to approve it. "

Ummm…what changed? Didn’t Kevin already have sole custody? Wasn’t Britney fighting to get 50/50 custody? Maybe Britney’s camp knew that was impossible at this time and will try again at a later date.

Britney Agrees to Sole Custody for K-Fed

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

Britney Spears has agreed to hand the parenting reins over to Kevin Federline.

K-Fed's longtime attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan exclusively tells E! News that the divorced duo have reached a settlement in their long-gestating custody case.

According to the agreement signed by all parties, Federline gets sole legal and physical custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James and Spears will have visitation rights.

"The case has been settled," Kaplan said. "The court still has to approve it. " Both parties are due in court Friday morning.

The case had been set to go to trial next month but all had been hoping to settle up beforehand.

"As of this evening there is a fully executed deal memo...All the issues that would have been addressed at trial have been settled," Kaplan told E! News. "Can't speak to the exact terms of the deal. Orders in place...will stay in place."

But although this is theoretically good news for Federline, Kaplan maintains that this isn't exactly what his client had in mind.

"Kevins was not [out] to get custody. Kevins goal was to set up some kind of template so the mother of his children can co-parent," Kaplan said.

"He said I need to have Britney to be involved in the coparenting of the kids but I need there to be a structure."

But this is the structure he got and "Kevin is absolutely delighted," Kaplan continued.

"Nobody could have anticipated the terms of events that have occurred....This was a two-year journey that will be halted at a point that is good for these children. Custody is always modifiable. If there is a final order, it means there is nothing to try."

Spears has been enjoying monitored visits with her boys since late February after temporarily losing any on-hand-mommying privileges following a stretch of noticeably erratic behavior on her part and two brief hospital stays.

Federline's camp has credited the influence of Spears' father Jamie, who was appointed a coconservator of his daughter's estate Feb. 1, for helping to get the 26-year-old popster back on track.

A court commissioner is scheduled to review whether the make the conservatorship permanent at the end of this month. If the arrangement were to end, what then happens to Spears' current deal?

"While I can't tell you the terms, the order does anticipate what happens if the conservatorship is ended," Kaplan told E! News. "The devil is always in the details and this is a very detailed deal memo.

"Nobody can predict what the future will bring but ...to the extent possible I think we have really anticipated how to proceed."

Confirmed: Britney Spears working on new album

The following italicized article is from www.hollywoodinsider.ew.com:

Britney Spears is attempting yet another comeback: Reps have confirmed that she is at work on the follow-up to 2007’s Blackout.

A statement from Jive Records and Spears' manager Larry Rudolph says that “Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters.

We’re very excited about what she’s accomplished so far.” So is Sean Garrett, who happens to be one of those producers. “We’re trying to take her stuff to the next level,” he tells EW.com. “I’m going to come up with something crazy for her.”

Spears has sold 83 million albums worldwide in her career, but Blackout only went platinum in the U.S., likely due to declining CD sales and her status as last year’s most permanent tabloid fixture. But Garrett — who’s also worked with Usher, Beyoncé, and Chris Brown — welcomes the challenge. “I like to work on an artist when they count them out...and bring them back.”

Madge's Brit and JT reunion bid

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

MADONNA wants to reunite ex lovers BRITNEY SPEARS and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE on stage during her world tour.

The Queen Of Pop has turned Madgemaker and wants them to join forces as the grand finale of her Sticky & Sweet jaunt.

Britney has already filmed a sexy cameo for Madge’s tour, to be beamed on to a giant screen as a stage backdrop.

Filmed in a lift, one scene shows a toned Brit looking hot and sweaty in a clinging white vest.
Madge has also asked the Toxic star to make a surprise appearance in person at some shows.
And she is desperate to get JT on stage too.

Justin was heavily involved in the recording of Madge album Hard Candy and she wants him to perform one of their duets from the CD.

Madge’s dream is to shock the world with JT and Britney — whose four-year relationship ended in 2002 — appearing on the same stage at her final US date in Miami in November.
A source revealed: “Madonna is always trying to raise the bar and Britney and Timberlake on the same stage would be perfect.

“They have both been asked but I think both are a bit reluctant. Britney would find it all a bit emotional and JT might not fancy it.

“More likely is that they both appear on different dates.

“But if anyone can make this happen it’s Madonna.”

How terrifying...

Britney Spears is back in the studio

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

Rebounding from what seemed like an endless spiral of personal crises and public meltdowns, tabloid queen Britney Spears is back in the studio and at work on a "brand-new album," according to a joint statement released by the pop icon's manager, Larry Rudolph, and her label, Jive Records.

"Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio," the statement, released Tuesday, says. "She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters. And we're very excited about what she's achieved so far."

No release date for her sixth studio album has been set, and none of her collaborators is named in the statement. But producers JR Rotem, Sean Garrett, Guy Sigsworth, Nate "Danja" Hills, Bloodshy & Avantand Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins have independently revealed that they are contributing to the project.

"Stuff we did so far is really dance-y, really up-tempo," Jerkins told Rap-Up TV last month.

"Real aggressive and catchy. Very, very, very hook-friendly."

With the intention of resurrecting her career, the multi-platinum-selling mother of two released "Blackout" last fall, which opened at No. 2 on the national album chart and was ranked among Rolling Stone magazine's Top 50 albums of 2007. Recorded during the time Spears, 26, was pregnant with her second son, Jayden James, and separating from Kevin Federline, the CD featured collaborations with producer-performers including Pharrell Williams and T-Pain.

But "Blackout's" commercial reception was ultimately overshadowed by Spears' erratic behavior that year, which included shaving her head in a Sherman Oaks beauty salon, attacking a paparazzo's car with an umbrella, checking into and out of rehab, blowing off custody hearings and turning in a disastrous performance of the album's lead single, "Gimme More," at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

Further presaging Spears' return to center stage, the "pop wreck" has kept busy by making appearances in others' videos. Last month, she appeared at a shoot for the bump-and-grind pop quintet the Pussycat Dolls' single "When I Grow Up." And earlier this month, Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg confirmed that Spears was set to film a "short movie" that would be part of the Material Girl's Sweet and Sticky tour, kicking off in Berlin next month.

Britney Spears Kid Woes: Reintroducing Britney

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

Britney Spears is excited to be a real mother to her young sons again - but is it too late? She had been looking forward to her first overnight visit with her sons all week, but Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden, 22 months, didn't seem to feel the same way when they arrived at Britney Spears' Beverly Hills mansion two weeks ago.

"The kids were a little tired, and not fully aware of why they were staying with her," a family friend tells In Touch. "Especially Jayden. He burst into tears. An expert cited in the article says that the sooner Britney gets involved in her sons' lives, the more likely she is to build lasting relationships.

"This is a crucial period in their lives," says psychologist Patricia Farrell, who does not treat the star, according to the report from the weekly entertainment magazine. "They need to be able to trust that someone will be there all of the time."

As for Britney, she finally understands how much is at stake. Recently, she has shown a willingness to make sacrifices and is making plans to give up her Beverly Hills home and move to a neighborhood that's more child-friendly. "Britney really misses her kids," says the family friend. "She loves them and realizes she made mistakes, but she can do better now.

Katy Perry Wants Madonna, Britney Spears Lesbian Kiss With Miley Cyrus

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

Katy Perry is on top of the op world with her new sexy hit single "I Kissed a Girl" and the adorable songstress says she really wants to create a buzz with a Britney Spears and Madonna like lesbian kiss on stage with Miley Cyrus. While Madge and Britney are desperately trying to recreate their one time sexy show, Katy Perry says she will really make a splash with a Miley Cyrus lesbian kiss.

Miley Cyrus, the star of Hannah Montana, has already been on the World Wide Web sharing a piece of licorice with another girl in one of her several raunchy MySpace like photos. The cell phone pictures show the young star flirtatiously playing with girls and boys. Would Miley kiss Katy on stage? And would that end the Disney career?

Us Weekly magazine reports that Perry, 23, will attend August's Teen Choice Awards, which Cyrus, 15, is hosting. The white-hot pop star says, "Maybe we'll have another Britney-Madonna moment on stage (with a tongue twisting lesbian kiss)," Perry joked. She understands pretty well that it likely won't happen and would it be a bit creepy as Miley is but fifteen years old.

She adds, "I don't think it would help her career. However, it would definitely help mine!" It seems like it is open season on Miley Cyrus who is busy now trying to tread water after her earlier wet-t-shirt pics from the shower that were reportedly stolen and leaked online (see here and the first link is safe). It appears that Katy is joking but can you imagine the buzz of a Katy-Miley kiss

Singer spends time with Lynne Spears in LA

Britney Spears spent a day with her family at the weekend, as mum Lynne helped her look after her sons on an overnight visit.

Mum and daughter seem to have put their differences aside as they spent the day shopping and enjoying a lunch of sushi and salad with friends.

'Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff,' an observer tells People.

'She looked gorgeous, and I've 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.'

The pair fell out last year after it was alleged that Lynne had taken the side of Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline, 30, in their battle for custody of their boys Sean Preston, 2 and Jayden James, 1.

Britney, 26, and K-Fed are due back in court today to discuss access arrangements

Britney Spears Working and 'Having Fun' on New Album

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

Britney Spears's summer won't be all rest and relaxation this year: The pop singer will be spending time hard at work on her yet-untitled next album, according to her manager.

"Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album," manager Larry Rudolph announced Tuesday in a statement released by Jive Records.

"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."

Spears spent time in and out of the studio in the spring, fueling rumors of an upcoming album. But at that time it was "recreational," Rudolph insisted.

"She's been going to the studio, she's been having some fun. But it's all recreational for her," he told PEOPLE in May. "She's like, 'I want to go to the studio because I want to have some fun' and that's what it's all about. There's no schedule, there's no agenda, there's no anything. She is just enjoying herself."

In the studio, "She's giggly," he added. "Some days she'll go in and get nothing done. Some times she'll just play around a little bit."

Planning Ahead

But Rudolph said there was a reason behind the playtime. "She's the type of person who has the eye of the tiger," he said. "She'll likely wake up one day and decide she wants to do more than that. Whether that is a day from now, a month from now or a year from now or five years from now, I have no idea."

Lucky for her fans, she woke up sooner rather than later.

After a difficult year that included an ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline and two well-publicized visits to the hospital, Rudolph says Spears is feeling strong and her old self again.

"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."

Last week, Spears filmed a video segment in Hollywood that is expected to be part of Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour.

"Britney is getting back in touch with Britney," Rudolph said in May. "And she's doing an amazing job at that."

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.

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:

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.
