Federline Won't Seek Hearing on Son's Health Scare

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

Kevin Federline has no plans to ask a family court to investigate his son's weekend health scare while in ex-wife Britney Spears's care, his lawyer says.

"We're not going to jump to conclusions right now," attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan tells E!. "I don't anticipate there being a hearing. I anticipate that Kevin and Britney as concerned parents will exchange information and satisfy themselves that what happened was a freak occurrence and do what they have to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again."

Jayden, 2, was hospitalized overnight on Sunday in McComb, Miss., after suffering a "terrible allergic reaction" to something he ingested, a source close to the Spears family tells PEOPLE.

Spears had taken her sons Preston, 3, and Jayden for a family visit to her hometown of Kentwood, La. It was the first time she was allowed to take them out of state since losing all custody earlier this year.

"Kevin was considering going to Louisiana (after the hospitalization)," says Kaplan, "but the information that we had was Jayden was already checked out. There wasn't an emergency."

Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears: Alligator Alley!

The following italicized article is from www.celebrity-gossip.net:

Now that her son Jayden James is out of the hospital, Britney Spears is breathing much easier. And earlier today she was spotted with members at an alligator and turtle farm.

The “Gimme More” songstress was joined by her sister Jamie Lynn (with daughter Maddie Briann), mother Lynne, and her two sons Jayden James and Sean Preston on a tour of the massive wildlife park near her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

And Miss Spears looked to be having a marvelous time with her family and friends, apparently goofing around and laughing throughout the afternoon.

Pop Justice's 'Circus' Review

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

'CIRCUS'

This is the title track. This means the song's called 'Circus', and it's from the album 'Circus'. "I run a tight ship," Britney announces, "so beware - I'm like the ringleader, I call the shots, I'm like a firecracker I make it hot, now put a show". What does this mean? Well, she is a ringleader on a ship - we presume this is something to do with a special circus on a cruise liner of some sort. Basically Britney is comparing herself to lots of things at the same time. Your English teacher will tell you this is a silly thing to do - but Britney is allowed to do it, because she is Britney. The track comes with massive thudding electronic R&B production and there's a lot of stopping and starting, including a a built-in MTV-style dance breakdown segment. The chorus lyric is "all eyes on me in the centre of the ring just like a circus" but the best bit's the bridge, with its "I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins, spotlight on me and I'm ready to break, I'm like a performer with this world as a stage" bit. There's all sorts of other stuff about "don't stand there watching me, following me, show me what you can do". Bits of it are a lot like 'Break The Ice' from the last album, but with an extra layer of Big Production.

OUT FROM UNDER

'Blackout' didn't have any big ballads so here is one for 'Circus'. It's incredibly similar to this version...



...of the song but with more guitar (weedy guitar, not big proper guitar). The production's a lot less sparse and a great deal more 'Britney ballad' (in the 'I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman' tradition). Basically the most interesting thing about Britney's version that you can't hear on the Joanna Pacitti original is the finale, which ends with a great "from under, from under, from under" bit.


IF U SEEK AMY

This is the one people are excited about because the words "if you seek Amy" sound like "F-U-C-K me". After a "la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la" intro the song sort of throws itself into a ridiculous faux-lesbo 'romp' in which Britney looks for girl called Amy in a club ("oh baby baby have you seen Amy tonight, is she in the bathroom?"), can't find her while the club's closing, bangs on about "love me hate me, say what you want about me but all the boys and all the girls are ready to f-u-c-k me" and then goes bonkers over a lot over a thunderous Timbaland vs Scooter production job. There are some "ha ha he he ho ho ho" bits, a great whooshing noise into the final chorus and an overriding sense that this might be one of Britney's most ridiculous recordings to date.

'VERDICT': It's 'Blackout 2.0' - this is good news, 'Blackout' was a phenomenal album - but seems to include a lot of posturing and also seems to be quite gimmicky, which hopefully won't extend across the entire album. The inclusion of a song like 'Out From Under' suggests that this album, as a whole, might be a bridge between 'In The Zone' and 'Blackout', or at least a bridge between 'Blackout' and a next album more along the 'In The Zone' lines. That didn't make any sense at all, did it. Anyway if these are the very best songs on the album we're probably heading for a 7/10 sort of affair but it's hard to second guess a Britney album so what it will end up like is anybody's guess.

EXCLUSIVE: The Scoop On the Dance Audition

Yesterday we got a photo from an audition Britney held for an unknown upcoming project. Today BritneySpears.com has details about both the try-outs and what they were for!

We just found out that over 70 super talented dancers came to a grueling audition for Britney's new promotional tour. It was a really long day and the pressure was really on! After a few rounds of cuts the dancers finally got the chance to dance for Britney, Andre and his agents and show them all what they've got!

So what was Britney looking for? Three new guys for her dance crew -- a "womanizer" (of course!) and two "jester" types. We hear that the talent there was AMAZING, which means that Britney's upcoming performances are going to be out of this world!!!
