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."

Spears to Sell Cars
The following italicized article is from www.pagesix.com:Jamie Spears has been granted permission to sell some of Britney's cars. The 26-year-old pop singer, whose attorney did not object the request, has nine vehicles, according to her driving-without-a-license lawyer, Michael Flanagan.
Also, the restraining order against Sam Lutfi has been extended to April 16.
Other issues discussed today include Brit's medical and financial situations. The next hearing in her conservatorship case is scheduled for April 17.

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.

Pay Up, BritBrit!
The following italicized article is from www.perezhilton.com:Britney Spears has just been ordered by the LA courts to pay Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's lawyer, $375,000 in legal bills.
The fees stemmed from the 4 month battle between Kaplan and BritBrit's lawyer's over the custody of Small Fry and Tater Tot.
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!

Source: Mel & Britney Have Been 'Meeting Regularly'
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.

Did Sam Steal Britney's Swag?
The following italicized article is from www.pagesix.com:Sam Lutfi's restraining order expires today, and the judge is expected to extend the order for another 30 days. But Britney Spears' confidante reportedly does not plan on fighting the extension. One possible reason? It has apparently come to the attention of father Jamie Spears that Sam may have shanghaied expensive gifts that were originally meant for Britney.
"We are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise that was only intended for Britney, and given to Sam in good faith to be given to her," a source tells PageSix.com. "She was completely unaware that he accepted very expensive jewelry, fur coats, and other high-end goods that were never given to her. Britney claims she was completely unaware, and Sam had kept the goods and given some of them to his sister."
Michael Sands, Sam Lutfi's spokesperson, tells us that, "Britney was aware of the merchandise, and if she didn't want it, Sam donated it to charity."
PageSix.com will be in the courtroom this afternoon, so stay tuned.

Britney Ordered to Pay K-Fed's Lawyer's Fees––Again!
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:The Britney Spears/Kevin Federline custody drama continued today as Brit was ordered to pay $375,000 of Federline’s attorney fees.
Spears’ attorney Stacy Phillips argued that Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan was asking for too much, and that based on his extravagant spending style, Federline could pay his own way. But Commissioner Scott Gordon said the pop tart should foot the bill because her erratic behavior led to the majority of delays and litigation in the case.
The ruling comes after Federline and Spears’ father and conservator Jamie appeared in court last week to tussle over the lawyer fees. Kaplan initially asked for $405,000. Britney has paid nearly $1 million of K-Fed's legal fees so far.

Britney Spears Ordered to Pay $375,000 in K-Fed's Legal Bills
The following italicized article is from www.people.com:Britney Spears has been ordered to pay $375,000 of Kevin Federline's legal bills, according to court documents released Monday.
Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon called the legal billing "reasonable," in large part because "the actions of [Spears] caused the great majority of litigation."
Last week, the pop star's lawyer, Stacy Phillips, complained that Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, had over-charged Spears, and asked that Federline be ordered to contribute to his own legal bills in the former couple's ongoing custody case.
Citing Federline's tip of $2,000 on a recent $365 dining tab, Phillips contended that Federline could afford to help pay "for the diligent work being done on his behalf." She also criticized Kaplan for raising his hourly fee.
Family courts have the power to order one party to pay for the other's fees, based on income and needs.
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.

Brit's Lawyers -- Oh the Irony!
The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:So we just read the order forcing Britney to pay $375,000 for K-Daddy's legal bill. Here's what jumped out at us.
In the order issued by Commish Scott Gordon, he notes that disso queen Laura Wasser charged Brit $164,972 in legal fees. Remember, Wasser handled the case for 10 months. She's the one who handled the divorce and fought for joint custody and dealt with Brit during the meltdown.
After Wasser quit, Brit hired Trope and Trope to rep her. On Trope's watch, Brit lost custody and visitation. Their bill for five months? $685,985.22 (the 22 cents is a killer). In fairness, Brit's craziness made it impossible for the Commish to do anything but strip her of custody. But seriously, $685,985.22???!!!
So what did Shakespeare say again?

OK! First Look: Britney's TV Appearance
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:Just in case you can't wait for March 24, OK! has the first photo of Britney Spears' big cameo on How I Met Your Mother.
In the episode, Britney plays a receptionist, Abby, who falls for Josh Radnor's character, Ted. Unfortunately for Abby, Ted has the hots for her boss, dermatologist Stella (played by another guest star, Scrubs' Sarah Chalke).
The pop tart has said that "Abby is such a fun girl to play. I'm having a blast!"
This should make for one interesting medical love triangle. Also, it looks like Britney's a blonde again. If you want to see how good Brit's comedic timing is, tune in next week!

Kaplan Scores -- Brit Must Pay Up
The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:Britney has just been ordered to pay Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Daddy's lawyer, $375,000 in lawyer's fees.
Kaplan was asking for a cool half mil over a four month period in the custody fight. Commish Scott Gordon had initially ordered Brit to pay Federleze's "reasonable" attorney's fees.
Brit's lawyer said the fees were outrageous and the judge knocked it down some, but Kaplan now is deep in the green.

We've all been talking about it and now here's your first look at Britney Spears as a receptionist on How I Met Your Mother.

Ah, just how every actress dreams of being labeled.
Wow ... what a difference a week makes. Last Monday we heard that Britney Spears would be guest starring on an upcoming ep of How I Met Your Mother and today we have the first picture from the ep, scheduled to air on CBS next Monday, March 24. Hurray for Hollywood ... Britney Spears just might manage a successful comeback after all.

Sam Lutfi Agrees to Steer Clear of Britney for One More Month
The following italicized article is from www.people.com:Britney Spears's former confidante, Sam Lutfi, has agreed to stay away from the singer for an additional month, PEOPLE has learned.
The temporary restraining order placed against him last month was set to expire Monday. While no official reason was given for the agreement, it appears the deal was struck as a way of warding off a courtroom confrontation with Spears's parents. (The court is expected to approve the extension.)
Spears's mother, Lynne, previously accused Lutfi of drugging and verbally abusing her daughter. (Los Angeles police have said they are considering the claims.)
Based on evidence presented in court, a restraining order can be extended for up to five years, legal experts say.
"In order to have a restraining order dropped, Lutfi would have to convince the judge that all the evidence against him being a threat to the family is wrong," says L.A. family lawyer Scott Weston, who is not involved in the case.
Meanwhile, Spears, 26, appears to be getting back on track – thanks, in part, to dad Jamie's controlling influence. She recently filmed a guest appearance on CBS's How I Met Your Mother and is now allowed multiple monitored visits with her two sons – Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1 – each week, says a source close to the case.
The source adds that those visits – agreed to by her ex, Kevin Federline, without the court's involvement – would likely increase over time.

Stay Away…Forever!
No one is quite sure why, but…. Osama Lutfi has voluntarily agreed to stay away from Britney Spears for at least another month, delaying a hearing that could have made the restraining order against him permanent.
Lutfi and Spears' conservators agreed to have the restraining order extended for 30 days, said an inside source who declined to be named because the agreement had not been formally approved.
A judge is expected to approve it today.
Lufti and BritBrit's people would not comment on this recent development.
"There is an agreement between Sam Lutfi and the conservatorship for the next 30 days," says Lutfi's rep. "Both parties are happy and will continue to work together to further resolve any issues that may have come up in the past."
Britney is doing SO MUCH better now that Shady is out of the picture. We hope he stays gone!
