The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:We already know where one former Britney Spears bodyguard stands on her mothering acumen—or lack thereof.
Now, in an exclusive interview with E! News, another former protector of the pop tart has a strikingly different account of Spears' mommying prowess.
"In our time with Britney, we've never seen anything in a negative sense," Mark Chinapen, who worked for the pop star in 2007-08, tells E! News.
Chinapen says that he often saw Spears with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and that he never saw anything as described in the lawsuit filed this week by former bodyguard Fernando Flores, who claimed to have seen Spears "savagely hit" one of her boys.
"If there was an issue, we would have said something to her or authorities when it came to the kids," says Chinapen, CEO of Big Time Affairs, who has also provided security for Carmen Electra and Lindsay Lohan. "But we never saw anything negative."
Chinapen says that during his tenure the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services conducted an investigation into alleged abuse, "but at the end of the day, there was no issue. They came, were happy with the results, and walked away."
Chinapen says that his time with Spears was relatively calm—nothing like the erratic, harassing behavoir Flores accused the singer of.
"It was very normal. Starbucks runs, going for lunch, driving, shopping, buying clothes, and going out to events. That's it," Chinapen says.
"Britney is one of those people that likes to conduct her own business and go around and do her thing around town. She's not looking for someone to be in her face 24/7, just someone to assist when they're needed."
Adds Chinapen of life as a celebrity bodyguard, "You're taking care of someone, protecting them from the outsiders, whether it be the paparazzi or a fan that is getting too close, and that's it. There's nothing bigger than that."Source: E! Online

This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself. The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores' accusations and have closed the case without any further action. Ms. Spears and her attorneys have every expectation that this matter will be dismissed by the courts. Source: BritneySpears.com
An attorney for Britney Spears' ex-husband called child abuse claims leveled at the singer by a former bodyguard baseless and motivated by money.
Fernando Flores, who worked on the singer's security detail, sued Spears on Wednesday claiming sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. His lawsuit claims Spears repeatedly exposed herself to him and that he witnessed her punish her young sons with his belt and act inappropriately in front of them.
Kevin Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told The Associated Press that Flores' accusations had been looked into before the suit was filed and warranted no action. He said Federline takes any allegations of abuse or wrongdoing regarding the former couple's children seriously.
"He is satisfied that the allegations are a product of economic motives," Kaplan said. "They are as baseless as they seem."
Federline has custody of the former couple's sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, but Spears has substantial visitation with the boys.
Kaplan said if Federline believed the children were in danger, he would have stepped in already.
He noted that Flores' lawsuit was leaked to online news outlets before the suit was filed. "I think that the timing of this and the nature of the allegations speak for themselves."
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages and includes several lurid allegations of Spears allegedly exposing herself to Flores.
Spears' publicist Holly Shakoor did not return e-mail messages seeking comment on the case.
The lawsuit claims that Spears, among other things, exposed herself to Flores and summoned him to her bedroom while she was naked.
The bodyguard's employment with Spears appeared to be brief — his court filings state he started working for her in February and had "exhausted his administrative remedies" with a state agency by July.
Flores also sued his former employer, Advanced Security Concepts Corp. A woman who answered the company's phone Wednesday declined to comment and refused to be identified.
Spears remains under a court-ordered conservatorship in which her personal and financial affairs are controlled by her father and an attorney, and monitored by a judge. The conservatorship has prevented Spears from being deposed or testifying during previous cases in which she was sued.
Despite a high-profile custody battle, Spears and Federline reached an agreement in 2008 and neither side has sought changes to the custody arrangement in nearly a year, court records show.Source: Yahoo! News

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:In addition to soaking up the sun with boyfriend Jason Trawick during their recent Hawaiian getaway, the pop star toured a wedding chapel at Maui's Grand Wailea resort on Thursday and, two days later, teared up while watching a wedding below their hotel room balcony.
While the couple, who've been dating for more than a year, are going strong, they don't have any immediate plans to tie the knot just yet, a source tells PEOPLE.
"They're really taking things day by day and really enjoying their time," says the source, adding that Spears, who turns 29 in December, and Trawick, 38, "of course" talk about the future.
Another source credits the couple's relationship for helping the singer – who was previously married to Kevin Federline – to mature.
Trawick, who was previously Spears's agent, "really cares for her, deeply cares for the kids and loves her," says the second source. Source: People
The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:“EXCLUSIVE! Britney Spears Didn’t Hang Out With The ‘Glee’ Cast At ALL While Shooting Her Episode!” squeals HollywoodLife in yet another exclusively wrong story.
“Even though the Glee cast have been gushing about meeting Britney Spears while she shot an episode of their show,” writes the site, “an on-set source tells us that the pop princess barely had any interaction with the Gleeks at all!”
Let’s get this straight: So the cast has been “gushing,” but HollywoodLife’s source knows that they’re all lying?
Uh, huh…
Adds the ill-informed “insider”: “Britney wouldn’t talk to any of the actors and demanded a special trailer with a fence around it… because her people didn’t trust her to say something stupid and have it leaked.”
Speaking of “stupid,” if HollywoodLife knew anything about the Life of a Hollywood star, they would know cast members all have trailers to hang out in during downtime between scenes.
But more importantly, when they were all on the set, Spears got along great with the “Glee” stars, which is precisely why they’ve been “gushing.”
Once again, HollywoodLife is falsely creating drama, where there is none.
HollywoodLife should take a cue from “Glee,” and start singing a different tune.Source: Gossip Cop

“She was so professional,” the “Glee” star gushed to Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. “She looked incredible. She’s so tiny!”
The brunette beauty said working with the pop superstar was a great experience.
“She was great to work with,” Lea said. “It was one of those things where you go to work and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe we’re doing this!’”
Gleek alert: Fans can definitely expect to see Lea and Britney together on screen — although, she remained mum on the details.
“We are in a scene together,” Lea revealed. “What we do together, I can’t say, but I will tell you it’s incredibly iconic! I can’t believe Ryan [Murphy] got her to do this.”
Sunday was an extra special day for Lea – not only was the star nominated for her first Emmy award (for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series), but the award show also happened to fall on her 24th birthday.

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:What better way to take a break from work than a Hawaiian vacation?
Britney Spears, who's been busy working on new music and taping Glee, "was very excited to go on a vacation with Jason [Trawick]," a source tells PEOPLE. Staying in an luxury suite at a stunning, oceanfront resort on the island's Wailea coast, the couple – between spa treatments and gourmet meals – hit the beach.
"Britney and Jason seem completely in love and happy," says an onlooker. "Britney has not stopped smiling since she arrived in Maui, and she seems to have the best time with Jason.
"Even in the ocean, they kept smooching. ... Britney also looks fabulous in her different bikinis, and Jason is in great shape as well."
While Spears's sons Preston, 4, and Jayden, 3, stayed in L.A. with grandparents Jamie and Lynne, the boys did get some surf and sand fun of their own in Santa Barbara.
"Preston and Jayden had a blast on the beach. Jamie and Lynne seemed to very much enjoy spending time with the boys, and together they built sand castles and played tag," says an onlooker. "The boys looked so cute and were beyond excited about the beach. Jamie and Lynne looked very happy together as well."
Adds a source, "Britney told Preston and Jayden that she was going to the beach and promised the boys that they would get to go also. The boys had the best time in Santa Barbara with their grandparents." Source: People

The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:Earlier this week, Gossip Cop poked fun at the tabloids for claiming Britney Spears was planning a wedding this year, which by our count was her 63rd wedding in 2010 alone.
Now OK! Magazine takes it one step further, announcing TWO – yes, two – Spears weddings.
According to the tab, the singer is going to have a “double wedding” with her sister, Jamie Lynn.
Yes, you read that right.
The mag claims it was the elder Spears’ idea to “marry their boyfriends, Jason Trawick and Casey Aldridge, in a spectacular double wedding!”
What began as a half-joke, says the mag, soon turned into actual wedding plans that include “their kids [as] ring bearers and the flower girl,” the sisters walking each other down the aisle, and “fantasy guests” such as President Barack Obama, Oprah and Lady Gaga.
Why not Abe Lincoln while they’re at it?
Anyway, a so-called “source” says Trawick particularly liked the joint-nuptial ideas.
“Jason said it would be bigger than a royal wedding,” states the source, adding, “Britney’s eyes lit up… A Spears-girls double wedding would be a huge attention-getter.”
And that’s probably what OK! hoped when it ran with this completely fabricated “double wedding” story.
But back on planet Earth, a source close to Britney tells Gossip Cop “there is no truth” to the tabloid’s wedding claims. And a Jamie Lynn pal also says it’s made up.
The only congratulations to be extended here is to OK! for being wrong twice in a single story.Source: Gossip Cop

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney Spears may be a pop princess, but "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy felt as if the president had stopped by the set during Spears' recent visit to William McKinley High. Murphy dished about what went down when the singer filmed her cameo for the "Britney/Brittany" episode.
"It was literally like the President had come," Murphy told E! Online. "We all had to wear wristbands. I couldn't get into my own sets at one point, which I thought was hilarious."
Murphy thought Spears was moved by the cast's admiration for her. "I think she was really impressed about how so many kids of the show do what they do because they grew up wanting to be Britney Spears," he said. "She was really sweet with them. We had a number with a bunch of eight-year-old dancers in the show and she spent a lot of time talking to them, and they did the number for her ... She was so sweet, she's great with kids, she was so awesome."
But security remained tight, Murphy said, because "everybody was sort of trying to get into the set and find out what the hell she's doing in the episode." What Spears will be doing on the show is still unknown, but a picture the singer tweeted from the set suggests that she may be playing some sort of receptionist.
Aside from hanging with the pop princess on set, the "Glee" creator also got to hear some of Spears' new material. "I got to hear some of the music she's putting out later this fall or early next year," Murphy said. "It's really a great return to form for her; the songs are amazing so I feel she's riding the crest."
And while there has been talk of Madonna tunes blaring the speaker intercoms once again, Murphy has also revealed that Britney "probably" will reprise her cameo spot on "Glee" episodes.
Last week, the singer tweeted photos of herself on set alongside Murphy and castmember Heather Morris. Posing in front of a set that looked similar to the singer's "Me Against the Music" video backdrop, Spears channeled the Madonna look that was donned in their 2003 collaboration. Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.etonline.com:"Glee" stars Jenna Ushkowitz, Kevin McHale and Heather Morris are gearing up for going back to school with the new "Glee" clothing line at Macy's and dishing to ET about working with pop icon Britney Spears.
The cast wouldn't give too much away about the upcoming episode but Jenna disclosed, "You get a little bit of the old Britney and a little bit of the new Britney."
Heather, who plays Brittany on the show, opened up about recreating the music video for "Me Against the Music" with the pop star, telling ET, "I'm still on a high. It was the coolest thing ever. It was really weird to stare at her while you're wearing the same thing she wore before and you're like, 'I wonder what she's thinking.' It was really cool." Source: ET Online
The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:Just days after Britney Spears stopped by the “Glee” set to film her cameo for Season 2, there already appears to be talk of her returning to McKinley High.
On Saturday, at the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles, Access Hollywood asked co-creator Ryan Murphy if fans can expect to see even more of the “Circus” singer, and Ryan suggested it is likely.
“Probably, yeah… probably,” he said.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Britney hit the “Glee” set earlier in the week to film her guest role, including one scene alongside the show’s own Brittany, played by Heather Morris. While on set, the pop princess spent time with Ryan, and at Saturday’s event, where “Glee” was up for several awards, he told Access what a delight it was to have her around.
“Britney came this week and shot, and I got to hang out with Britney,” Ryan said. “She was sweet, she was great.”
“I’m now best friends with Britney apparently,” Ryan added, jokingly.
Ryan, who also created “Nip/Tuck,” said he’s still surprised by the popularity of his show about a high school glee club.
“I never thought it would work at all,” he said. “I thought it was very good, and I thought the cast was great, but I thought the idea was kind of particular. I’m shocked.”
Catch the season premiere of “Glee” on September 21 at 8 PM on FOX, and the Britney episode on Sept. 28.Source: Access Hollywood
