Dink Driving

It's been a hot minute since we've seen Britney Spears around these here parts ... I was just thinking yesterday that it has been ages since Brit Brit got any blog lurve. Now that she's no longer riding the crazy train to wrecksville, she's been mainly staying focused on her work (I believe she is still in talks to collaborate with Bally's Total Fitness), her music (she has been actively working on her next album) and her family ... which brings us to these new photos of Britters enjoying a lovely afternoon with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (as well as her father and conservator Jamie Spears) playing with their toy cars at her Beverly Hills, CA home:

Truth be told, I really do not miss any of Britney's former crazy antics. Sure, we may have had more to talk about last year when she was publically spiraling down her abyss to destruction but I prefer not having much to talk about if it means that she's staying home and taking care of getting her life in order. Photos like these are way more preferable to the trashy embarrassing pics that were coming out daily last year. Seeing photos of her playing with her sons win every time.

Adnan Reportedly Releasing Sex Tape Of Britney!

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

Is Adnan Ghalib, the former paparazzo boyfriend of Britney Spears, trying to make one last grab at Britney Spear's cash? The National Enquirer is reporting that he's shopping around a sex tape that was filmed during their trip January trip to Rosarito, Mexico.

"Word is that the video starts with Britney undressing," said the insider. "She was wearing some cheap clothes that she bought down there in Rosarito. The sex wasn't particularly kinky but Britney wears a pink wig throughout. At one point in the tape Adnan asks the singer to remove the pink bob but she refused. "Adnan tells her to take it off at one point and she says coyly, 'Take what off? There's nothing left to take off.'"

That sound you heard is my penis crawling up inside my body at the possibility that a tape exists showing the mess formerly known as Britney Spears having sex. This "insider" goes on to claim that a Britney Spears sex tape will go down as the highest selling porn tape of all time, out selling even Paris Hilton's but I am pretty sure 90% of the world would rather watch "The Century of Sex" where a lady bangs a hundred dudes to celebrate turning 100-years-old.

Britney's Comeback Plans

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

Gone are the pink wigs, ratty hair and fake british accent the world has come to associate with Britney Spears. In their place, a fresh faced, natural brunette who has been reporting to work, making regular visits with her sons and seems in general, to be focused on taking her life back.

On March 24, the once reigning pop star made a highly anticipated cameo appearance on the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. Her performance was so good, she managed to wow not only the audience, but her co-stars as well.

"The only thing scandalous about this is how un-scandalous it all is," says HIMYM co-star, Josh Radnor, of Britney's appearance on the show.

Playing Abby, the nerdy receptionist, the bit part is just one of the baby steps the singer seems bent on taking to get back in fighting form. As she begins to rediscover herself, she seems to also be rediscovering her love for dance.

In addition to teaching kids at Millennium Dance Complex, the singer has been rehearsing alone, stopping in for two hours at a time to learn a chair routine for her new song, Hot as Ice. Sources say Britney may even want to open her own dance studio in the future and is considering The Dome, a 25oo sq. foot section of Millennium, currently closed.

Even Brit's father, Jamie Spears, seems to be loosening up on his rules---a bit.

"Britney is addicted to driving," An insider tells OK!. "Initially, her father wouldn't let her drive at all, but he knows how much she loves it and it calms her, so he's softened the restriction. He now lets her toodle around the block in her gated community."

We're Just One Week Away

PageSix.com has the first look at Britney Spears on the set of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother ... check it out:

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. Looking slim and sexy (from the shoulders up at least) Britney was reportedly on her best behavior last week while she filmed her cameo, although co-star Neil Patrick Harris said she seemed "fragile but professional." 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.

Brit's Toxic Behavior Cooling Down

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

Brit's conservatorship has really been working -- she's got a real job, has been dancing in the studio and was even spotted driving herself just yesterday. And that pink wig -- forget about it!

Brit Brit was seen behind the wheel as she maneuvered her SUV out of the FOX lot after filming her upcoming sting on "How I Met Your Mother -- where TMZ has learned the cast absolutely loved her and described her as "laid back and collected."

If the only thing she can be faulted for is smoking a cigarette, that's a vast improvement!

Wacky Attorney Still Claims He's Britney's Lawyer

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

Despite his inability to meet standard court deadlines and a federal judge's ruling against his claims, Jon Eardley, the attorney who says he represents Britney Spears, vowed Wednesday to continue his fight."We have only just begun the fight,"

Eardley said in a statement. "There is nothing that will stop me from dismantling, if necessary, this oppressive and unjust conservatorship."

On Feb. 1, a California court appointed Brit's father, Jamie Spears, conservator over her personal and business affairs. A court approved attorney, Andrew Wallet, was named co-conservator and another attorney, Samuel Ingham, was appointed as the singer's lawyer.

Eardley still claims Britney, 26, hired him on Feb. 12; however, lawyers for Jamie Spears argued that Eardley's claims were invalid because under the conservatorship, Britney is not legally able to hire her own counsel.

Yesterday, Federal District Judge Philip Gutierrez ruled the state court's appointment of Sam Ingham precluded Eardley from acting as Britney's lawyer. Judge Gutierrez also ruled the case would remain in state court, not federal court as Eardley sought, because Eardley had no authority to move it.

Since the conservatorship was established, Jamie Spears has managed to quiet his daughter's usual out-of-control lifestyle which, over the past year, has spiraled downward into a whirlwind of craziness, including a stint in rehab, British accents, pink wings and, ultimately, Britney's hospitalization and the loss of custody and visitation rights with her sons.

Eardley claims the conservatorship violates Britney's civil rights and that her conservators are not acting in her best interest.

The conservatorship has been extended on two occasions and remains in effect until March 10.

Court May Extend Dad's Control Over Britney

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

A commissioner will consider extending Jamie Spears's temporary control over his daughter's estate in a hearing Thursday afternoon, amid signs that his approach is keeping Britney Spears safe and out of trouble.

The singer's father has been overseeing her well-being and her $40-million fortune since Feb. 1, when Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz named him and Andrew Wallet temporary co-conservators – giving them the right to employ bodyguards who control her actions and restrict her visitors.

Since then, they seem to have kept the pop princess on a tight leash, forcing Britney to keep an uncharacteristically low profile (no appearance of her pink wig, no overnight stays at the Four Seasons). Although she has been spending much time holed up at her Summit house, she was recently spotted shopping with her mom, Lynne, and has been making regular trips to the Millennium Dance Complex.

Text-Messaging Friends

While Spears has been on her best behavior, sources say she's been text-messaging friends from inside the house, complaining that she's bored.

"She's getting proper medical care and has professional security. The chaos has been removed from the situation," says one legal insider, who anticipates that Goetz will prolong the temporary conservatorship at the hearing. (Proceedings are scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m., Pacific time.)

It is possible Spears could appear, although she has consistently avoided the courtroom in the past. The 26-year-old will be represented by her court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham.

Britney Spears: I Wanna Dance with Somebody!

From the Hallelujah Department: Britney Spears continues to keep it low key -- despite paparazzi craving for something a little more exciting than a trip to Millennium Dance Complex. Oh, the poor creatures, how they long for a pink-wigged trip to Rite-Aid.

The recovering Brit Brit instead shook her booty again at the North Hollywood dance studio yesterday, where she was caught smoking in her ride as she showed up. She danced for about an hour and a half before returning to Summit. No drama, no vadge flashes, no British cussing.

OK! Exclusive: Brit's $6,000 Hairdo

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

It's time for Britney Spears to say goodbye to that neon pink fright wig she so adored wearing before her court-ordered hospitalization. The pop princess is getting some fake hair — maybe to go with that fake British accent?

To add a little length to her tired tresses, which haven't been the same since the infamous head-shaving incident of 2007, Brit requested some new extensions be put in by her stylist, Kim Vo.

And this lock-lengthening comes at a pretty steep cost. While he won't name the number on this specific price tag Vo reveals to OK! that, “a house call for new extensions can be up to $6,000.”

But unlike some celebs who save their millions by using their fame to get free cuts, colors and styles, Vo tells OK!, “We will be sending her a bill.”

Maybe Brit could auction off that pink wig on eBay!

The Wig is Up!

The following italicized article is taken from www.pagesix.com:

“When the pink wig comes on, it’s getting bad,” Sam Lutfi told Us Weekly about Britney Spears' erratic, and wig-related, antics, but it seems that Brit’s father, Jamie, is trying to put a stop to the insanity. Papa Spears was spotted heading to his apartment with an armful of laundry, but there's one particular item we spy — the pink wig! (Actually, that’s a lie, we can’t help but notice the Corona T-shirt, LSU cap and a double dip of glasses — all that’s missing is a beer cozy.) Hopefully the fact that Britney no longer has the pink wig of wackiness in her possession means we won’t be subjected to her crazy, Brit-speak rantings and ravings anymore… although that kind of disguise looks like it comes in packs of three for $1.

While Jamie was on wig-watch, and every other celebrity was getting primped for the Grammy awards, Britney visited some old friends — the staff at Starbucks. Apparently the things she missed most while undergoing treatment in UCLA Medical Center were their Frappuccinos and friendly faces, so she popped in to a Westwood, Calif., outpost yesterday for some quality-time… in the bathroom. Yep, Brit skipped her traditional Venti Frap and headed straight for the ladies' room while her new security team hovered outside the door — liking the job so far, fellas?

Britney eventually emerged from the restroom, but will the once-brilliant pop star we fell in love with ever resurface? Hey, Amy Winehouse has made a go of it, so can Brit!

X17 XCLUSIVE: Britney's First Night Home

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

After an exhausting day of running from one place to the next, Britney Spears finally came to rest at the Summit last night for the first time since being admitted to UCLA's Mental Health Center.

The pop starlet changed out of her pink wig and into some more comfortable clothes before heading outside for some more quality time with Adnan.

Despite the day's seriousness, Britney and Adnan appeared to be in a playful mood - for instance, when Britney accidentally dropped a glass (around two minutes into our clip below), Adnan pretended that he'd been struck in the eye by a flying shard. Needless to say, Britney got concerned - but was happily able to laugh it off when Adnan revealed that he was kidding!

From time to time, Britney's mother Lynne would check in with her daughter. At one point, she stopped outside to say goodnight to Britney and Adnan - and to tell the pair that she'd be visiting Sean and Jayden the next day! (Listen up at 4:08 of our clip - you can actually hear her saying it!)

Hopefully Britney got some rest last night - after all, yesterday was quite a day for her!

We were a little worried to see that pink wig - after all, you all remember what it supposedly means!

EXCLUSIVE: Sam Lutfi Admits He Gave Britney Spears "A Handful Of Pills"

The following italicized article is taken from www.usmagazine.com:

Sam Lutfi, who is now on the receiving end of a restraining order imposed by Britney Spears' parents, was the one person by her side as she unraveled over the past six months.

In the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, Spears' de facto manager and confidant opens up about her bipolar disorder, how he medicated her, what happened the night she was hospitalized, and how her parents reacted.

"In the depressive episodes, it's all crying," Lutfi tells Us. "But in the manic episode, there's very little crying or sympathy or compassion. She becomes another person. She becomes somebody that just doesn't care about anybody or anything."

"The British accent is part of the mania," he adds. "She'll stick to the British accent because she becomes comfortable with it... But you know, when the pink wig comes on, it's getting bad."

Lutfi says that when Spears was involuntarily committed to treatment at UCLA Medical Center on January 31, her mom, Lynne Spears, arrived and tried to remove her daughter from his guidance. "Well, he is better family than you guys will ever be," Spears responded, according to Lutfi.

Lutfi tells Us that he gave Britney "a handful of pills" before her parents arrived. "I said these pills are working wonders, they are miracle pills," he recalls. Spears, Lutfi says, agreed that the meds were helping her sleep.

(In their restraining order against Lutfi filed yesterday, Spears' parents accuse him of drugging their daughter and being verbally abusive. Jamie, who has been named as his daughter's conservator, "is doing what he has to do to save Britney," a source tells Us.)

Spears is one of nearly six million American adults suffering from bipolar disorder, a mental illness consisting of extreme shifts in mood, thought, energy, and behavior patterns.

Lutfi, 33, tells Us only he, Spears, and her psychiatrist know what brought on her bipolar disorder "roughly five years ago."

When the ambulance arrived to take Spears, "she was very quiet," Lutfi tells Us.

"When I told her, she wrote me a note and put a big heart on it and it said, 'I love you, Sam. Are there people coming? Circle yes or no,'" Lutfi recalls. "Oh, my God, it was funny, just the cutest little thing. I circled yes and I gave it back to her, and she looked at me and she's like, 'Oh, lord, here we go again.'"

Attorneys are fighting on Spears' behalf to take conservatorship away from Jamie. Having Jamie in control of her estate and medical decisions is a worst-case scenario for Spears, sources tell Us.

Check out the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, for a complete portrait of Spears' life at UCLA and more from Lutfi.

Brit's Standoff With Sam

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

Brit was in great spirits all evening - so what could have caused her to chew out her good pal Sam at 7am this morning?

After making a stop for Red Bull, Brit and pals returned to the Beverly Hills Hotel, only to emerge again around 6 am, where she headed back out, with Sam in the passenger seat.

But soon after they got to the Pacific Coast Highway, Brit decided she wanted to change places with Sam, who seemed a little frustrated at the seemingly aimless driving.

But just a half hour later, it was Britney who grew frustrated with Sam! The car stopped once again on Coldwater Canyon (not too far from her Beverly Hills house).

Having removed her wig, she demanded that Sam switch places again so that she could take over driving duties. But when Sam refused, Brit cursed him out in her British brogue (she may have removed the wig, but not the accent!), until Sam finally acquiesced and let her take over driving duties. With the sugary pink wig, did the sweet disposition go as well?

Taking control, Brit eventually drove the car the short distance home.

Hey, since the car's just a rental, it's no surprise that Britney would want to get as much time behind the wheel of that cute little Mercedes.

I guess what a girl wants, a girl gets!

OK! Exclusive: Britney's Different Personalities

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

Just before midnight on Jan. 19, Britney Spears popped open several bottles of champagne inside her Beverly Hills mansion. The occasion? She'd just invited six members of the paparazzi into her home for a party.

The stunned photographers were asked to leave their cameras outside, but otherwise to enjoy themselves. And enjoy themselves they did! The group, accompanied by Brit's friend Sam Lufti, drank, smoked, ate leftovers from the fridge and laughed for about two hours as Amy Winehouse played in the background.

Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the party came to a screeching halt. "Britney went into her bedroom and came out in a different pair of jeans and her pink wig," one of the photogs tells OK!. "Her eyes went wide and she was yelling, 'How the f**k did you get in here? Get the f**k out! Sam, get them out! Why are they eating my food? Get them out!'"

Britney's complete 180-degree turn was shocking, even to the most hardened of the paparazzi. "One person walked into that bedroom, someone else walked out," one of the photographers tells OK!. "It was scary."

X17 XCLUSIVE - BRITNEY'S RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ADNAN!

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

So here's the whole story ...

Last night at 2 am, Britney Spears invited two of our photographers into her Beverly Hills pad for a little conversation. They chatted for a while, then escorted Brit and Sam in the car, so Britney could drive around and listen to music. After that, it was back to the house ... The guys ended up staying with her for FOUR hours!

Earlier in the evening, Britney went out to the gas station with Sam around 8 pm, then they came out again later in her Black Escalade, went to club Goa but never got out of the car. When she returned home after that second outing, was when she invited the photographers to come inside her home.

Roberto and Leandro from X17online went inside ... Britney said, "Come with me, let's have fun." She opened a bottle of champagne for them and went outside on the patio to smoke cigarettes. Our photogs say Britney nursed a 1/2 glass of champagne the entire evening and never drank more.

Britney put on Amy Winehouse and her own CD, changed into jeans and her famous pink wig.

Team X17er Robert said, "We had fun. Britney was funny, very relaxed, dancing a little bit, and she carried her little dog all the time."

At one point in the discussion, Sam took a paper out of his pocket -- it was a restraining order against Adnan Ghalib. He said, "Look at this!"

Britney expressed disappointment and anger toward Adnan for being "set-up" in photographs that Adnan and his agency have sold of Britney and Adnan together.

Roberto and Leandro didn't ask questions -- they were surprised at the restraining order. After talking about it briefly, the continued having a good time and around 6 am, our photogs said they had to leave. Britney begged them to stay, but Sam insisted that she get some sleep.

When the photogs left, lots of paparazzi who weren't invited in were waiting outside. (TMZ and Hollywoodtv were turned away at Britney's door at 2 am!)

Still more details coming later ...
