Britney's Condition Still "Tenuous," Court Says

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

Britney Spears is still not ready for prime time.

The Los Angeles court commissioner overseeing the "Gimme More" singer's conservatorship case deemed Spears' condition "too tenuous" for her to take care of her own business just yet.

The comments by Commissioner Reva Goetz came during a hearing today skipped by both Spears and father Jamie, who is still overseeing his daughter's estate.

Instead, lawyers spent about 90 minutes meeting in the Goetz's chambers.

Afterward, the commissioner said, "It's my understanding that her condition is somewhat tenuous. Her medical condition remains the same."

Spears' court-appointed probate attorney, Samuel Ingham, agreed, telling the court that allowing Spears to contribute actively would be detrimental to her health.

"In fact it could be harmful to her to participate," he said.

Goetz decided she needed more information on Spears' diagnosis before deciding to appoint a more permanent conservator for Spears or whether to dissolve the conservatorship entirely.

"Though there have been changes in her medication...the diagnosis is not complete," said Goetz, adding that Spears' doctor "wants to do additional testing in the not too distant future."

"Without the diagnosis, the timing of the remaining proceedings is something we need to address."

Goetz recommended the court get an update on June 17 in advance of the July 31 hearing, when Goetz is due to make a final deicison about the future of Spears' conservatorship.

Spears Still Can't 'Meaningfully' Take Part in Legal Matters

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

Four months after her forced stay at a psychiatric facility, Britney Spears is still unable to participate "in any meaningful way" in legal proceedings and may need further tests, a court commissioner presiding over Spears's conservatorship said Thursday.

Spears's doctor has made a "differential diagnosis" and "wants to do additional testing in the not-too-distant future – something we will need to address in June," L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said in court after a private, 90-minute discussion with lawyers.

For now, Spears can't take part in the "litigation process or in discovery proceedings," Goetz said.

Attorneys did not reveal what was discussed in chambers. No Spears family members were present at the hearing, and Goetz made no rulings in open court other than to say that she is expecting a business plan for Spears to be filed by attorneys by June 13.

Spears's affairs are being handled by her father, Jamie, and attorney Andrew Wallet.

Brit's Medical Condition "Somewhat Tenuous"

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

Britney Spears has made seemingly great strides in the last several months, staying under the radar, winning back her visitation with her sons and even appearing twice on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

However, after another long afternoon in an L.A. courtroom, during which the 26-year old singer's medical and pyschological condition were reviewed in length, the commissioner ruled that Britney's health continues to be "somewhat tenuous" and that she is still incapable of making decisions for herself.

Neither Brit nor her father Jamie Spears were present at Thursday's hearing, although commissioner Goetz approved a request for Jamie to receive more money per week in order to continue caring for Britney.

The singer's court-appointed attorney Sam Ingham told the court today he believed it was better that Britney not participate in the legal affairs of her person and estate, adding it "in fact could be harmful to her to participate."

After reviewing her medical status, the commissioner agreed, saying, "Her medical condition remains the same. Though there have been changes in her medication, I think in terms of her diagnosis, it's not complete."

The commissioner will review Brit's condition again on June 17. In the meantime, a trial is set for July 31 to determine whether to dissolve or extend the conservatorship.

Brit Back on the Box

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

TMZ has learned Britney Spears took a meeting yesterday with a big-time producer and may be headed to the small screen in a starring role.

Sources say Britney and her team met with Roy Bank, President of Merv Griffin Entertainment, and discussed several TV projects in which Brit would star and possibly produce. We're told one of the projects is a music show.

Makes sense to pair Brit up with Bank -- they're both repped by the William Morris Agency, which packages tons of TV shows. It was, we're told, a "serious" meeting.

The ball is now in her court, but she's definitely interested in the whole TV thing.

Britney Headed to Broadway?

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

Britney is headed to the big apple y'all! Word on the block (on Broadway Blvd actually) is that Brit is in talks to play Sandy in the stage version of "Grease."

A source tells British newspaper Metro, "The producers were bouncing around the idea of casting Britney in the role of Sandy. "They're recasting the roles in July and they thought that Britney looked like a Sandy.

She would be terrific."

A few years back, when Brit was still married to K-Fed, she was asked to do a Broadway show. But after charging up $25,000 in travel expenses to the show, she decided against it. At the time she said she didn't want to move to NYC because of her two boys. Wonder if she feels different about the move this time around? It sounds like a great career move though--if she can pull it off.

Britney's Life in "Jeopardy"?

Before her daily workout, Britney spent time actually working yesterday -- taking a business meeting at Merv Griffin Entertainment.

Though she was likely meeting with someone in the music publishing department, we'd rather see her hop on one of Merv's game shows -- could you imagine Brit on "Wheel of Fortune"? I'd like to buy a vowel, y'all!

Will Britney Show in Court Today?

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

While there can be no doubt that Britney Spears has managed to make a remarkable transformation since being ordered by the court to cede all financial and personal decision-making to a conservatorship run by her father, Jamie Spears. But if she wants to make the leap toward getting her independence back, the pop star is going to have to prove herself to the judge.

Brit may have a chance to do just that on Thursday, when her father and lawyers for the conservatorship are due in court to discuss, amond other things, whether or not the mother of two is ready to get back some control over her life.

"It's a lot like the last time she was in court for the custody hearings," a case insider explains to OK!. "In that case, she had been evaluated by the court to judge her parenting skills. This time, it's about her being able to care for herself."

And though Brit is not legally required to be there for this latest hearing, her presence would be in her best interest. "If she wants more freedoms, she'll be there," says the source. "It's highly unlikely Judge Goetz would sign off on changes to the conservatorship order without being able to look Britney in the eye."

So will she show or won't she? We'll have to wait until 1:30pm PT to find out.

Brit's Private Mommy Moments

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

It's hard to believe that just five months ago, Britney Spears shocked the world by holing up inside her home with her youngest son Jayden James while the authorities attempted to return the one-year-old child to the custody of his father, Kevin Federline.

But on May 26, it was not only a completely different scene but a different Britney who snuggled and played with her sons Sean Preston,2, and Jayden,21 months, as the little family rang in the Memorial Day holiday at her Studio City, Calif., home.

"Sean Preston wouldn't let go of Britney," an eyewitness tells OK!. "He didn't want to leave her side. Every time she tried to put him down, he would clinch himself closer to her." At one point, the toddler hit his hand, and ran to his mother for comfort. "Sean started crying, and then he was resting his head on Britney's shoulder."

Friends say Britney has finally accepted the help she needs to get better, taking her court-mandated parenting classes seriously and even reading self-help books — most recently Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams.

Pals of the singer say it's this commitment to recovery that is finally allowing Britney to become the mother she always meant to be.

"Her biggest regret is losing her boys, and now's the time to put that right," a source tells OK!. Her efforts seem to be working. On May 6, she was finally awarded more time during her visitation--a boost from 9 hours a week to 27.

Brit seems to have straightened her love life out as well. Gone are the bad-boys she used to romance. In their place — Jason Trawick, Brit's agent at William Morris and an all-around regular guy — thoughtful, intelligent and completely uninterested in sharing the spotlight.

And the best part — Britney's dad and conservator, Jamie Spears, loves the match!

"There's no doubt that Jamie, approves of Jason — and why wouldn't he?" the agent's friend tells OK!. "Jason would never take advantage of Britney. I'm glad that she's finally found a good guy who isn't interested in her fame or her fortune."

A Little Rain Can Stop Brit's BBQ But Not Her Big Comeback

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

After spending the weekend out in the public eye with the likes of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears got back to work on keeping that bikini body in business with a trip to the gym. Britney's been working on a new streak of good clean fun, and yesterday she even tried to host a Memorial Day celebration for her family and her boys.

Unfortunately her big plans were ruined by a few rain showers and cold weather. Sad, but apparently Britney has big plans in store that go far beyond backyard BBQs.

Comeback rumors have been swirling, with details including a Vegas-style show followed by a small tour at the end of the year. While it's still too soon to tell how much truth there is to this news, it's something to look forward to.

Report: Britney Spears Planning Las Vegas Comeback

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

A new report has emerged claiming Britney Spears could be in line for a $10 million paycheck for a one-time Las Vegas comeback show, followed by a series of concert dates.

Rumors were sparked that Britney was planning a Vegas gig when she was spotted dining in Los Angeles last week with her friend — The Palms owner George Maloof.

Now, Britain’s News of The World has published a report claiming the pop star will play a gig at The Palms Hotel and Casino at the end of the year.

“Britney is finally getting her life—and career — back on track and the whole world will see the evidence when she steps on that stage,” a source told the tabloid.

Spear’s label bosses have reportedly given the idea the thumbs up, the paper reported.
And the shows are expected to be stunning.

“The concert will be one to top them all—a spectacle,” the source said. “It will have jaw-dropping lights, amazing costumes and a performance from Britney to roll back the years.”

A rep for Spears’ label was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood.

In related news, Spears stepped out this past weekend in LA to celebrate the birthday of designer Christian Audigier, who turned 50.

In a black tube dress, Spears partied the night away alongside her agent, Jason Trawick, who was last spotted next to the star during her trip to Costa Rica earlier this month. Other celebrities at the event, held at LA’s Motor Museum, included Michael Jackson, Fergie and Pamela Anderson.

Mother Nature Sours Britney's BBQ Bash

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

What better way for any mom — especially one who doesn't get to see her children every day — to celebrate Memorial Day weekend than with a poolside party with her family? And that's exactly what Britney Spears had planned on Monday, as she was joined by her two sons and her father for what should have been a glorious Southern California day.

Alas, Mother Nature was not on the pop star's side yesterday.

"She started setting up around 1pm for what was intended to be an all-out bash," one insider tells OK!. Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, is a trained cook and was supposed to be preparing a feast on the grill at the singer's home inside her exclusive, gated community called The Summit.

But as occasional sprinkles and very un-California 59-degree temperatures persisted, it became obvious after a few hours that it was just not meant to happen.

Around 5pm, the revelry all seemed to end, as Sean Preston and Jayden James were driven back to the home of their father, Kevin Federline, and Jamie retired to his own home in nearby Studio City.

Hopefully, this minor disappointment won't get the pop star down. After all, there will be plenty more chances for Brit to party with her family — for example, when little sis Jamie Lynn Spears gives birth.

Brit looks like a Pretty Woman

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

BRITNEY SPEARS has certainly come a long way since her dramatic breakdown in January.

Back then she was looking bloated, spotty and a million miles away from the fresh faced young teen who made it big with Hit Me Baby One More Time.

But, she's now back to looking great, as you can see in this picture of her imitating the front cover Vanity Fair, featuring Pretty Woman star JULIA ROBERTS.

Clutching a rose with her teeth, Britney holds up the magazine with a huge smile on her face.
The picture has been released at the same time as reports suggesting that the star is due to make a spectacular comeback worth a whopping £5MILLION.

According to a source who spoke to our sister paper The News Of The World, the singer is poised to perform at a mega-bucks one-off Las Vegas show, followed by a string of dates.

The source confirmed: "The concert will be one to top them all - a spectacle.

"It will have jaw-dropping lights, amazing costumes and a performance from Britney to roll back the years."

Britney last had a No1 single in the UK in 2004.

She will play the gig at Palms Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas at the end of the year.

Her record company, Sony BMG, have given the thumbs-up despite Britney's shambolic show at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.

The source added: "There's a total of £5million on offer but the onus is on Brit to put in a top show.

"Britney is finally getting her life, and career, back on track and the whole world will see the evidence when she steps on that stage."

Just Friends

"Britney and I have been friends for a long time. I've been seeing her as a friend. We haven't spoken about business."

- George Maloof, owner of the Sacramento Kings and the Palms hotel in Las Vegas, in a statement to LAtimes.com when asked if his recent dinners with Britney were business negotiations for a performance at the Palms Hotel or a 10-million dollar world tour.

Yes, and she's still *tinkering* around in the studio, too ;)
