Britney The Matchmaker

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

Britney Spears has taken a step back from focusing on her own love life, which is probably a good thing considering her success rate. Now she's turned matchmaker for her older brother because she's not a fan of his past girlfriends. He's probably reciprocating the same feeling with her choice in men, but we'll try and stay positive on this one. It is a nice gesture after all. Brit has recently been trying to set 31-year-old Bryan up with her friends and colleagues.

Bryan says, "She thinks I should be married by now. She tries to set me up with people, but if I started to seriously date someone, I don't think she'd like them at first because she's very protective."

Awww, that's cute! Anyone that has a brother is probably the same way Britney is with hers. Bryan was just voted as one of People Magazines Hottest Bachelors. Do you think Bryan is hot?

Britney's Mom Licensed to Defend

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

Lynne Spears may be a brand-spankin' new grandma but that doesn't mean her motherly duties are taking a backseat.

Backing daughter Britney's bid to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license in a 10-month-old hit-and-run case, the Lynne Spears filed a declaration in Los Angeles Superior Court continuing to maintain the singer's faultlessness.

And Spears' attorney Michael Flanagan told E! News there was a simple reason why Lynne, and not Britney, filed the paperwork.

"Britney is not really competent to provide a declaration," he said.

"Plus, if I provide a declaration by Britney, then the prosecution has the right to cross-examine. I don't want to give them the right to cross-examine her. And they cannot call her to the stand, because this is a criminal case, and she has a privilege not to be called to the stand."

In the declaration, filed as part of Flanagan's Wednesday motion to dismiss the charge, the elder Spears offered a rather convincing rationale as to why her daughter did not have a California license when she bumped into a parked car last August: She doesn't consider herself a California resident.

"I am informed and believe and based thereon allege that she was unaware at the time that any damage had occurred at the time of [the accident," the document reads. "Britney was totally unaware of any legal reason why it was necessary for her to have a California license."

Lynne goes on to say that while her daughter "has spent a majority of her time over the last five years in the state of California," she only did so out of necessity both in part for her work and "primarily with respect to a custody dispute currently ongoing."

"Although Britney has owned her house in Beverly Hills for more than a year, she has also owned her Louisiana residence for eight years...Britney's sister Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney's father Jamie Spears, and I, all possess a Louisiana driver's license and consider ourselves residents of Louisiana despite the fact that each of us spend a considerable amount of time in California."

While Louisiana roots apparently run deep in the Spears' household, Lynne still pointed out that, once her daughter was informed of her need for a state license, she wasted no time in hightailing it to the DMV.

"Britney still intends to return to Louisiana, but she has acquiesced in the [court's] position that she have a California driver license."

Case closed? If only.

The next hearing on the matter is set for Aug. 11.

"Father of the Year" Hosting Another Party

Kevin is set to host a party at Club Mansion in Miami - the same club Britney (M+M's) performed at last year during her House of Blues mini-tour.

So this punk takes everything away from Britney including her children so he can selfishly have sole custody, and then goes off and parties? I like the nanny and bodyguard Kfed hired, but Britney BETTER get the boys that weekend.

To all you Miami visitors; buy as many tix as you can, show up, and BOO his ass. Better yet, no one buy tickets and let him chug Jack & Coke all by his lonesome.

Some father of the year...

Jamie Lynn Welcomes a Daughter!

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

Jamie Lynn Spears is officially a mom!

OK! has exclusively confirmed that the 17-year-old star gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann earlier today in a hospital near her new home in Liberty, Mississippi, OK! confirms.

Maddie is the first child for the former Zoey 101 star and her fiancé, Casey Aldridge. Not to mention, she makes an aunt and cousins out of Britney Spears and her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

As OK! has reported, Aunt Britney, along with her father Jamie and brother Bryan, flew into Kentwood on Wednesday to be present for the birth.

The birth culminates a very public pregnancy for the teen, who exclusively announced she was expecting in the pages of OK! in December.

"I can’t say it was something I was planning to do right now," she confessed to OK!. "But now that it’s in my lap and that it’s something I have to deal with, I’m looking forward to being the best mom I can be."

Retreating to her hometown of Kentwood, Jamie Lynn laid low for the rest of her pregnancy, preparing for her summer arrival and getting engaged to Casey, 19. The two recently purchased their first home in Liberty, Miss., where they plan on raising Maddie.

In May, she hosted an intimate baby shower that reunited her with Britney, 26, for the first time since October. Big sis even gave the expectant mom some motherly words of wisdom.

"She told me, 'There are going to be some long nights, but it is completely worth it,'" Jamie Lynn said.

Now that her daughter has arrived, the actress wants to devote all her time and attention to her bundle of joy. Everything else — including a wedding and her career — can wait.

"Right now, I am so focused on the baby," she told OK!. "You never know what may happen a year from now. There is the possibility I'll go back, but right now, I just want to be a good mom."

Jamie Lynn Spears Has a Baby Girl

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

There is a new baby in the Spears clan! Jamie Lynn Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge welcomed a baby girl Thursday morning.

PEOPLE confirms exclusively that the baby was named Maddie Briann.

"Just the family was there," says a source about the birth around 9:30 a.m. at a hospital in Mississippi, near her Louisiana hometown. "Everyone is healthy and happy."

Jamie Lynn's sister Britney, father Jamie and brother Bryan flew in Wednesday to be with her for the birth; her mother Lynne had been with her helping her get ready for the baby.

Since announcing her pregnancy in December, Britney’s little sister has retreated from the bright lights of Hollywood, opting for the comforts of her hometown of Kentwood, La.

With her Nickelodeon show Zoey 101 already ended, Jamie Lynn went home to prepare for the birth of her baby. The actress, 17, and Aldridge, 19, got engaged in March. Recently, the couple purchased a three-bedroom home in Liberty, Miss., where Aldridge went to high school.

Over the last few months, Spears has kept busy by passing her GED exam, preparing the nursery and attending multiple baby showers.

Jamie Lynn's Zoey 101 costar, Erin Sanders, told PEOPLE earlier this year that the actress will be a fun mother.

"She is just a very good-hearted and warm person," he said. "We would always hang out on the set and she is a lot of fun, so I think she's going to be an easygoing, fun mom."

More Schocking Details About Britney Book

The following italicized article is from www.pr-inside.com:

More shocking details about a new BRITNEY SPEARS expose have come out as biographer IAN HALPERIN continues to talk to the media about his investigation of the pop star.

Halperin spent 18 months as an undercover paparazzi getting close to Spears and her inner circle of managers and friends, and now plans to release a book full of his findings.

After telling U.S. magazine of the singer’s two apparent suicide attempts, which he’ll write about in the book, Halperin claims the Toxic singer’s problems were fuelled by drugs and the company she keeps.

The award-winning journalist says, "I saw a lot. I partied with her and was able to really monitor what type of stuff she was using. It’s very concerning."

(But) the book is mainly about her handlers, how sleazy and destructive they are toward her.

The people around her are like vultures." Halperin insists his book won’t be a hatchet job on a troubled star - he witnessed enough to make him realise that Spears is basically a good person:

"She’s actually a very caring mom." But he worries she’s in danger of suffering a "catastrophic relapse" of her bipolar issues.

He tells Life & Style, "Britney herself warned me that with her, it’s always two steps forward, one step back."

Britney Spears Is On The Move

With rumors going around that Britney Spears is on the verge of selling her old Studio City mansion for a new mansion closer to her children (who currently live in Tarzana, CA with their father Kevin Federline), it prolly feels like a good time to get the hell out of town … therefore, Britney packed up her personal assistant, her father/conservator Jamie Spears and (recent new addition to her entourage) her older brother Bryan Spears (who was just named as one of People magazine’s Hottest Bachelors for 2008) and made her way to LAX airport today bound for destination unknown …

It makes sense that Papa Jamie Spears would be anxious for Britney to sell her Studio City home … you may recall it as the site where Britney suffered her last mental breakdown and had to be carted away to the hospital on a gurney in front of the world’s media. I would want to clear that memory form my family’s history as well. It’s unclear where the Spears fam are heading off to … they could pop up anywhere. I guess we’ll just have to wait and watch.

Britney Arrives in Louisiana for Jamie Lynn Birth

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

Britney Spears has more important things to worry about than court dates.

Like her future niece.

While Spears' criminal attorney was in court in Van Nuys, Calif., asking for another extension in the pop star's pending criminal case regarding her driving-without-a-valid-license charge, Spears herself was on a Delta flight heading to Louisiana to be by sister Jamie Lynn's side for the birth of her first child.

In an apparent cost-cutting effort, the "Gimme More" singer, who typically jets around on private planes, flew commercial. She quietly slipped out of her gated community around 5 a.m. and headed with her dad, Jamie, and brother, Bryan, to Los Angeles International Airport, where they boarded a Delta flight to New Orleans, an hour ride from the Spears homestead in Kentwood.

Her flight landed at 12:53 p.m. CT, and Britney headed straight to mother Lynne's house.

Jamie Lynn, 17, is having a child (reportedly a girl) with fiancé Casey Aldridge, 19, and is set to give birth any day now, sources tell E! News.

Britney, 26, had previously been somewhat estranged from her little sister. But on May 3, she flew to Kentwood to attend Jamie Lynn's baby shower.

Because her visitations with her own children are still limited, Britney will miss visits with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Spears is expected to return to Los Angeles on Monday.

Spears' next court date for her August 2007 hit-and-run accident, which occurred in front of the paparazzi's every-ready cameras, is now scheduled for Aug. 11. Due to the fact that Spears is under the care of a conservatorship, Spears' attorney Michael Flanagan, who has been working to try to get the charges dismissed entirely or reduced to an infraction, asked that the case be continued.
