Positive Tabloid Coverage

Awww. Look at these magazines exploiting little Sean and Jayden on their covers for money. Both Life & Style and Star have positive mommy headlines this week. I never thought I'd be saying this, but FUCK these magazines and they're bullshit spin too. Not only are they using children to sell, they are using them and her as just another story for them. They don't give a shit about Britney. Where were they when she needed their support the most? Trashing her left and right with headlines saying Britney thought "they were mistakes." So quick we are to forget. No cover stories in Us Weekly, OK!, or In Touch this week. Wahhh.

Better than nothing I suppose. But like usual, I'm afraid the tide will change. Maybe I just need more sleep.

OK! Exclusive: How Brit Gets Fit!

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

Driving away from a Bally Total Fitness gym in Culver City, Calif., recently, Britney Spears was smiling from ear to ear — and with good reason. The singer has been sweating up a storm in an attempt to get in shape, and thanks to three-times-a-day workouts and a five-small-meals-a-day diet, Britney, 26, is already on her way to getting back her sexy body.

"We're very excited to see Britney using our clubs so often and enjoying her workouts," Bally's chief marketing officer John Wildman tells OK!. "She's taking advantage of our personal-training and nutritional programs and getting great results. She's working extremely hard on both programs."

Now Brit is working with Bally's trainer Mark Corlis, an insider tells OK!. "She's doing really well with him," the source says. "Mark doesn't cut Britney any slack. He doesn't baby her, and that's why she likes him.

"Britney's exercise program is called Active Recovery. That's when you work each muscle group intently for a short period of time until you exhaust it, moving — without resting — from muscle group to muscle group. The mother of two is doing it a couple of times each day, followed by late-night cardio at home.

That final workout is key to Britney's routine because she's burning off her last meal before going to sleep.

The junk-food junkie has also taken a new approach to eating. Her five small meals a day have cut her daily total caloric intake down by about 1,000 calories. The good news? She can still eat many of the foods she loves, including pasta and pizza, but in much smaller portions.

And that's a good thing because OK! has learned that her goal is to go from her current approximate weight of 133 pounds down to 118 over a sensible three months. "Britney carries a lot of muscle, so she is never going to be one of those 100-pound girls," the source tells OK!.

Now all we need is a Britney Spears cologne for men and we're set!

Gym-goers nearly get an eyeful from Britney Spears dressed in just a towel

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

Britney Spears gives onlookers a shock as she wanders into a hotel gym in nothing but a towel.

Thankfully, the Gimme More singer wasn't having another chaotic episode - she was just relaxing after a gruelling workout at a hotel spa in in Marina del Rey in California.

Britney, 26, spent a morning on the treadmill as she gets back in shape after a tough year that saw her separated from her sons and held in a psychiatric ward

But it appears the star's judgement may still be somewhat askew, as after her shower in the spa at a hotel, she wandered out to the gym in just a towel, giving gym-goers an eyeful as she helped herself to some cold water.

Later, she emerged fully-clothed from the changing rooms in a strapless black dress and brown cowboy boots clutching a bottle of water and her mobile phone.

Earlier she had been at a gym in Culver City, Los Angeles, as reports today suggested she is now spending six hours a day working out.

Only the day before, the star was spotted working up a sweat on the cardio machines at Bally's Fitness Centre in Studio City, Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old star is currently working on regaining her famous figure amid talk of a highly-anticipated comeback.

Sources say the troubled singer has already started recording again and after being reunited with ex-manager Larry Rudolph, and that she has realised it's time to regain her figure.

The new fitness-mad Britney has swapped chaotic nights out for quiet evenings in as she tries to regain full custody of her boys.

Earlier this week the singer revealed her bikini body on a Malibu beach, and showed that she is well on her way to regaining her past glory.

Spears, who has supposedly dropped twenty pounds in thirty days, decided to unveiled her body as she spent an afternoon relaxing with a friend in the sunshine.

Sporting a tight yellow bikini, the Toxic singer sunbathed, read magazines and at one point even paddled her feet in the water before covering up and heading off home.

EXCLUSIVE: Britney Spears Increases Security and Secrecy

Hollywood.TV's cameras were wondering if we were Toxic when we got to follow Britney Spears for the day in this exclusive footage.

Britney is now well into her Larry Rudolph regime and we get what's becoming the norm. They may keep denying a comeback but Britney's at the studio then on to the gym. And boy is the security beefing up. There's no more cameras than before but the security is coming in at darn near one for one. It ain't pretty.

Britney's working that body of hers and the security want to keep us right away. So what's up? Holding up a tarpaulin to stop us seeing Britney leaving her car? Our first thought was a new hairstyle. Maybe she's had something special done. We're not saying bald again, but maybe bangs or streaks or something. Maybe it was a new look?

We catch Britney again later and the hair is Britney hair. No change that we can see.

But, hold it! That black dress looks kind of familiar. Didn't she step out of the car wearing this the other day? And she has a little helper just tweak it at the back. Like something you'd do to keep a towel on. Was the sheet being held up for a wardrobe malfunction? Or does the little black dress hide a littler stage costume? Yes, we're clutching at straws here, but it makes you think.

Even if Britney isn't heading for a comeback we hope the time in the studio and gym is bringing back some of her old love for performing. Little reminders of how good it can be. Come on Brit. You have a world full of fans out there!

X17 XCLUSIVE: Britney Gets Steamy!

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

Over the last few months, Britney Spears has been keeping a pretty low profile - but yesterday afternoon, she couldn't resist heating things up just a little!

It all started at the studio (naturally) where Britney continued to work on what appears to be another sure-to-be-huge record. Britney even took the time to wave to us before disappearing into the studio - thanks, Brit!

After a hard days' work, however, Britney decided it was time to unwind and headed over to the Ritz Carlton to make use of their sauna. Of course, nobody takes a sauna in their clothes, meaning Britney had to strip down before ducking into the steam room - and bolt inside in full view of the cameras wearing nothing but a towel!

Needless to say, the scene was pretty hot - in fact, we've put together a gallery of the whole incident. Don't let your boss catch you looking!

Hot stuff!

Spears' Parenting Skills Scrutinized

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

The verdict is in on the Britster's parenting know-how.

But we're just going to have to wait a little bit longer to find out if she gets a thumbs up or thumbs down from the court.

E! News has confirmed that a child custody evaluation report detailing the pros and cons of Britney Spears' mothering has been completed.

The report, commissioned by a Los Angeles family court in Spears' ongoing battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline over young sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, was filed Friday by Dr. Jane Shatz.

Lawyers for both Spears and Federline declined to comment on the substance of the document.

While no specific positives or criticisms have been made public, the report's findings are expected to get a full airing at the next hearing in the case, set for May 6, when attorneys are planning to debate merits of a modified custody arrangement.

Spears, who has typically avoided courtroom showdowns in the matter, may actually show this time to defend herself.

CBS Confirms Britney Spears Will Return To ‘How I Met Your Mother’

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

Britney Spears, who proved she’s worth a cool million viewers to “How I Met Your Mother,” is paying another visit to the CBS sitcom.

Spears will reprise her role as bubbly secretary Abby in the May 12 episode, CBS said Monday.

“We’re all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again,” series executive producer and co-creator Craig Thomas said in a statement.

“And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney’s very nice and no, I can’t get her autograph for you,” Thomas added, jokingly.

Spears’ appearance in the March 24 episode won her good reviews and boosted the show’s viewership to 10.6 million viewers, in comparison to the 9.6 million who had tuned in the previous week.

When last seen, Abby was flirting with womanizer Barney (cast member Neil Patrick Harris). The new episode, which began production Monday, has Abby and Barney sharing their mutual dislike of Ted (cast member Josh Radnor) and acting on it.

“Desperate to get a rise out of his former pal, Barney pops a surprising question to Abby,” CBS said in a release.

“How I Met Your Mother” stars Harris, Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) as an urban family of 20-something New Yorkers.

The pop star’s camp originally approached the show about taking part, executive producer Carter Bays told The Associated Press earlier this month.

April 28 - Britney At Ballys... Nekked

And this is why I love Britney. I miss this. I miss her. I miss the spunky, silly Britney. Halfway through changing her clothes in the lockeroom at Ballys, Brit decided to get some water, in a towel. Just. A. Towel. Maybe she's mocking Miley?

After her workout, Britney is pictured leaving Ballys with her trustee Blackberry in hand. Wonder who she texts? Think she still does the 1000 sit-ups a day? I mean since everyone seems to want her to time travel back to 2003. Not me. Lookin' good, Brit!

It's Official: Britney Is Back on How I Met Your Mother

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

She's baa-aack.

As rumored for weeks now, Britney Spears is indeed returning to CBS' giddy-good comedy, How I Met Your Mother for at least one more episode. It's been confirmed by Fox Studios that Brit-Brit will play the same role, Abby, in the 19th (and penultimate) episode of the season, airing May 12.

"We're all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again," HIMYM boss Craig Thomas said. "And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney's very nice and no, I can't get her autograph for you." They begin shooting today.

What's the ep about? Well, according to Fox: "In 'Everything Must Go,' Barney and Abby realize that they have one thing in common: their mutual hatred of Ted. The new 'couple' decides to go to the bar to flaunt their new relationship in Ted’s face. Desperate to get a rise out of his former pal, Barney pops a surprising question to Abby."

In the words of Long Duck Dong, he's getting maweeed?! Can't be, right? Our beloved Barnana is TV's most beloved antimonogamist!

And more importantly, where does this leave the blossoming Barney-Robin romance? Could this lead to a (please, oh please) Robin-Abby smackdown? My money's on the superfamous, internationally renowned pop star to come out victorious: Miss Robin Sparkles.

As for the tiff between Barney and Ted, as we previously reported, yes, the boys will have a falling out, and yes, Barney will be picking up a new wingman—to be played by Will Forte of Saturday Night Live. But given that Ted refers to Barney as "Uncle Barney" in the future while storytelling to his kids, I'm thinking it all works out just fine...

How do you fans feel about Miss Spears coming back to the show? Good, yes? For the prospects of a much, much, muuuch deserved fourth season of this show we fans hold so dear? I'll take that new season any way we can get it...Comment below!

P.S. Here's an excerpt from the Britney episode script, just to get your HIMYM butterflies hopping...

Barney: Oh, wow, Ted, long time no see. I guess you're wondering why I haven't called in a while. See, I'm kind of done with the whole having a life and being awesome thing. Now I'm all about staying in, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and watching bad movies my girlfriend makes us watch.

Ted: That so?

Barney: I'm sorry, have you guys met my girlfriend, Abby? She's my girlfriend, and I just love her love her love her. We're in love, just like Tom and Katie. [Jumping up] I'm in love! And there's nothing about it that makes everyone around me uncomfortable or annoyed!"

Bwahahaha! I love this damn show.

Role Reversal

Here are a couple of amazing photos of our dear Britney Spears lookin' as sweet as can be in a cute little blue dress and nice white shoes (no boots!!!!) as she made her way out of a recording studio in SoCal this weekend:
Not only is Brit Brit lookin' fine and not at all a mess (she even managed to tame her weave), I must remind you that these trips to the recording studio and to the vocal coach bode very well for a new album of material very soon (I'm hoping for a Fall release). What difference a year makes ... why, exactly one year ago today, Britney was routinely flashing her panties (thankfully, she was finally wearing panties again). It's good to be on Team Britney again.

On the Jamie Lynn Spears front, Mama Lynne Spears has been spending time with little JL in their hometown of Kentwood, LA where the pair have been stocking up on baby essentials to prepare for the arrival of the newest member of the Spears family:
Awww yeah ... I know of a certain little young'n who is gonna get about a spoilt as as a young'n can be from the baby aisle at Wal-Mart. Some children are just born lucky. Isn't it so odd that just a few months ago, JL was the last hope of the Spears family as Britney seemed mired in her own destruction and now the roles are reversed. Britney is on the upswing while JL is ... well ... not. I much prefer for both Spears sisters to get their lives in order but I am happy that Britney is doing so well again. JL will be fine as a 16 year old mother ... sometimes you just can't run away from your destiny.
