Britney Spears’ dad does underwear check before she goes out
The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:Britney Spears’ days of going out without any knickers on are a thing of the past — thanks to dad Jamie — who checks the troubled singer is wearing underwear before she leaves the house.
Jamie Spears, who is in charge of his daughter’s affairs, is fed up with the Toxic star’s revealing clothing — and wants to ensure her pantyless flashing days are behind her.
A source said: “Jamie makes sure to ask Britney if she has underwear on before she goes out.”
The singer’s assistant, Brett, also reportedly reminds the pop wreck to wear underwear and a bra.
The source added to the National Enquirer: “Britney tries to ignore their requests, but her dad is adamant and insists she change if she’s falling out of her top.”
Meanwhile, Britney, 26, has been ordered to pay $375,000 of Kevin Federline’s legal bills in their ongoing child custody case.
Spears’ lawyer, Stacy Phillips, complained last week that Spears had been overcharged by Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, and asked that her ex contribute to his own legal bills
Phillips brought up how Federline recently tipped a waitress $2,000 on a $365 dining tab - and how Kaplan had recently raised his hourly rate.
But Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon called it “reasonable” to make Britney pay so much because “the actions of [Spears] caused the great majority of litigation.”
The court also favoured Federline for having “taken the responsibility for the care and custody of the children during this period as a result of the conduct of the petitioner [Britney]”.
Federline had previously declared in court papers made public last year that he had no steady income, while Spears takes in more than $700,000 a month.

Lutfi Looks to Oust Britney Commish
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Sam Lutfi is getting with the program. He wouldn't mind changing the channel, though.
Despite having agreed to an extension of the restraining order mandating he stay away at least 250 yards away from Britney Spears, Lutfi filed a motion Friday objecting to the Los Angeles court commissioner who's presiding over the case.
"Sam did agree to a 30-day extension of the restraining order," Lutfi spokesman Michael Sands told E! News on Tuesday. "However, Sam Lutfi is not stipulating to Commissioner [Reva] Goetz. If need be, Lutfi can be heard in front of a Los Angeles Superior Court judge." (View the notice.)
Lutfi, who sources have said was involved in the recent effort to get Spears' conservatorship case moved to federal court, would be willing to appear in court on April 16—the temporary restraining order's new expiration date—to state his position.
"There's nothing out of the ordinary that Sam is doing," Sands insisted. "No person has to agree to a commissioner hearing the case. A commissioner is not a judge. If need be, and if this is going to go on, unfortunately, then [Lutfi wants it] heard in front of a judge. Basically, I just believe that Sam would like all of this to go away."
While a commissioner performs many of the same actions as a judge—a commissioner is also overseeing Spears and Kevin Federline's custody issues—all sides involved have to agree to it.
Sands maintains that the continued scrutiny Lutfi has been subjected to since Jamie and Lynne Spears sought to keep him away from their daughter is unfair.
"I personally have been in touch with LAPD, mental health experts and paramedics who were at the home the night [Jan. 31] of the UCLA intervention," Sands said. "They all gave Sam Lutfi five stars for orchestrating and participating in getting Britney to UCLA."
"I believe that if Sam brought his witnesses to court, need be, it would take the wind out of the conservators' sails," the rep added. "We all should just take it down and just have peace and harmony and everybody be left alone. Let it go away quietly."
In her argument in favor of a restraining order, Lynne Spears filed a declaration last month alleging that Lutfi drugged her daughter, "essentially moved into her home" and went to great lengths to control her life.

Lutfi "Respects Britney," Will Stay Away
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Sam Lutfi wants out of the increasingly harsh limelight for awhile.
A court commissioner signed off Monday on the agreement his camp brokered last week with Britney Spears' family to extend the temporary restraining order against him for another month.
"He respects Britney, he respects the temporary restraining order and everyone is beating him up for no reason," Lutfi's rep, Michael Sands, said after the hearing. "Enough is enough."
Lutfi, who dodged process servers for several weeks after the order was first granted to Jamie and Lynne Spears on Feb. 1, will continue to stay at least 250 yards away from Britney and any property she owns until Apr. 16.
A federal judge had previously extended the order on Feb. 21, the day Lutfi was finally served.
The singer's erstwhile BFF has been the target of serious accusations from Britney's parents since her Jan. 31 hospitalization at UCLA Medical Center.
Lynne Spears has alleged that Lutfi drugged Britney by adding crushed, unspecified pills into her food, an issue the Los Angeles Police Department has taken into consideration for a formal investigation. Jamie Spears' attorneys have stated in court documents that his daughter's pal hit up her since-fired business manager, Howard Grossman, for money.
Lutfi admitted to giving Britney a handful of pills on Jan. 30, claiming that they "worked wonders" on the troubled songstress, who sources said wasn't sleeping and was displaying erratic, anxious behavior in the days leading up to her week-long stay at UCLA.
Britney's medical issues and finances were also discussed Monday, albeit in a closed courtroom.
"Orders were submitted and will be considered about her medical condition, but privacy issues require these remain sealed," Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told E! News.
A hearing on the 730 psych evaluation Goetz ordered to help determine Britney's ability to make decisions that are currently under the control of her coconservators has been scheduled for Apr. 17, the day after the court is set to revisit the Lutfi affair.

A Guided Tour
It should come as no surprise that Britney Spears has landed the cover of the new issue of TV Guide (which is due out this wee) since everyone is talking about her upcoming guest starring stint on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother ... check it out:
Source: Pink Is The New Blog
Britney Spears' visit to How I Met Your Mother certainly has brought some quick buzz to the post-strike season. The March 24 issue of TV Guide went behind the scenes to get the scoop on the pop star's surprise sitcom gig; the exclusive cover story with posed Josh Radnor/Brit pic will be on newsstands this week. Talking to the Mother cast last Thursday at their return party, it became clear that each wanted a "piece" of her -- or, at least, admired the pieces she brought to the show. Jason Segel gushed, "She was just unbelievable. She had her lines memorized, jokes ready, and she killed it. And she's beautiful." Neil Patrick Harris, meanwhile, was surprised that Spears agreed to come on the show at all. "I didn't think she'd have the time to do it," he confessed. "I kept laughing, saying, 'You're serious? She's actually going to do it?'" Adds Alyson Hannigan, "[Britney] was sweet and funny. It was surprisingly normal." For Cobie Smulders, the combo of Brit and the March 24 episode's other big guest star, Sarah Chalke, was anything but toxic. Smulders (like Chalke, a Canuck) said, "Sarah is so funny, so nice, and she's the coolest chick. I know she seems like the coolest chick, but [she really is]."
It sounds like it has been a lovefest on the set of HIMYM lately ... I guess we'll see if all that lurve translates to the screen when the ep airs next Monday.
Additionally, Entertainment Tonight posted a very short clip of Britney on the set of HIMYM ... here are a couple of screencaps:
And you can click HERE to watch the blink-and-you-missed-it vidclip. I know, I'm posting every single little shred of new info concerning Brit's appearance on the show but I'm just so damn excited ... it's only fair that I cover the positive stuff with as much precision as all the negative stuff. I smell an Emmy Award, y'all ;)

Courthouse Update - Brintey Owes Kaplan $375,000
The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:Irony alert! - Brit's gotta pay her ex-husband's attorney's fees - she'll write a check to the guy who helped put Brit in the UCLA psych ward and take her babies away from her!
Judge Reza Goetz today, ordered Britney to pay KFed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, $375,000 for his services.
Media reports had previous put the amount Kaplan was claiming at half a million, but Kaplan himself cleared that up after court last time, telling the press he was actually asking for a fee of $405,000.
So what happens to the missing thirty grand? Well, that's what the lawyers are probably arguing about now! Will Britney have to make up the difference? Will Kevin finally be forced to drop some dough on something other than a big tip at a restaurant? Or might Kaplan be the bigger man and take a thirty thousand dollar hit for his client? Stay tuned - we'll let you know when we hear anything!

Neil Patrick Harris: "Britney's Living a Nightmare"
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:While A-list guest star Britney Spears didn’t make it to the How I Met Your Mother bash at the Palihouse in L.A. this weekend, our spywitness at the event heard plenty of chatter about the troubled pop star’s time on set.
The show’s star Neil Patrick Harris said he was surprised that Brit was rather quiet. "When she was with us, she was rather shy and intimidated," he explained. "Probably because she doesn't have a lot of acting experience, especially sitcom experience."
And as for reports that the 26-year-old mother of two was a nightmare on the set, Neil said, "I wouldn't call her a nightmare. She's living one."
While Brit might have been surprisingly quiet around the set, Neil admitted that the hysteria surrounding her even made its way past studio security."When she's on set, it's kind of chaotic, hectic," he explained. "Even though she was quiet and behaved... She brings that energy with her."

Brit's Dad is Selling Her Cars
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:After being ordered on Monday to pay more of Kevin Federline's legal fees, the conservators for Britney Spears are wasting no time tightening her purse strings.
During Monday's hearing, Commissioner Goetz authorized Jamie Spears and co-conservator, Andrew Wallet, to sell a few of brit's cars. The exact makes and models were not available and it's not clear how many of the singer's cars will be sold.
But just for fun, let's think: there's the white Mini-Coup, the grey Audi, the black Mercedes, the white Mercedes and at least two leased black Escalades...
Co-conservator Andrew Wallet made the request today in court. Britney's court appointed attorney, Sam Ingham, was also there. His response to the request: "I have no objection to that."
Meanwhile, the commish also signed off on an extension to the conservator's restraining order against Sam Lutfi. The order remains in effect until April 16. As OK! reported yesterday, the request was granted swiftly and without a showdown because Sam reportedly agreed to having the order extended. Apparantly he thinks it's best for both him and the Britster.
And, our reaction to that, as it was yesterday, is: UH-HUH!

Brit's Dad Selling Her Rides From Under Her
The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:Britney's conservators got the judge today to authorize them to sell some of Brit's cars. Thank God someone is trying to get her off the road!
Co-conservator Andrew Wallet made the request in court. The exact makes and models of the cars were not discussed in open court.
The judge also did what TMZ told you he'd do -- extended the restraining order against Sam Lutfi for another month.
As we first reported, Lutfi agreed not to fight the restraining order and allow the extension. That means Lutfi must continue to stay 2 1/2 football fields away from the Britster and basically have no contact with her at all.

BritBrit should be happy that she didn't have to pay the $500,000 Kaplan was originally asking for!
On top of that, Spears also has to pay HER former lawyers over $600,000 for their services.
It's a good thing homegirl's getting back to work. She needs to be making a steady income!

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:Mel Gibson and Britney Spears's dinner over the weekend wasn't their first meeting.
The pair and their families have met a number of times since Spears checked out from her second hospitalization last month, a source tells PEOPLE.
"Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible," the source says.
"There's just a handful of people in the world who understand the kind of intense attention that Britney goes through, and how to raise a family with some semblance of privacy and how to keep one's family intact and out of the limelight," the source adds.
"There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It's simply an act of human kindness – one neighbor reaching out to the other."
Gibson and Spears used to be neighbors when the singer previously lived in Malibu.
