Britney Spears Watch

451 Press received a press release from NBC Universal, which included a transcript of NBC News’ “Today” show exclusive with Meredith Vieira and a Spears Family Spokesperson. The spokesperson, Ms. Lou Taylor, stated that Dr. Phil Betrayed the trust of the Spears family, acted inappropriately and took advantage of them. Ms. Taylor also claimed that Britney never planned to appear on the show, and that Dr. Phil acted “self-serving” and that he “compromised” their relationship with Britney.

The Interview aired live yesterday morning on NBC News’ “Today” show - a full transcript follows. (more…)

TMZ.com reported this morning on the matter between Dr. Phil and the Spears family:

Jamie and Lynne Spears slammed — and we mean slammed — Dr. Phil this morning, calling the way he handled his contact with Britney a betrayal, inappropriate and a total breach of their trust.

Spears family rep Lou Taylor told Meredith Vieira on the “Today” show that Dr. Phil actually broached the subject of doing a show about Britney, but that they nixed the idea, only to have Phil try to set up the show anyway and even go as far as ADVERTISE the exclusive. Taylor scorched Phil, saying it was even “inappropriate” for Phil to bring up doing a show, and that the family thought it would be detrimental to Britney. (more…)

Even after I bothered to get up from the couch and set the DVR yesterday (Okay, fine, it didn’t actually involve getting up from the couch. That’s what we have remote controls for.), Dr. Phil has pulled the plug on airing his Britney Spears exclusive, originally set for Tuesday, January 8th. (more…)

Britney Spears was released from her “medical hold” at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center yesterday, but still needs psychological help. (As if that weren’t obvious already.) And guess who’s helping her? (This shouldn’t be that hard of a guess, if you read the headline above.)

Yes, that’s right. It’s Dr. Phil McGraw, who was thrown into fame after several appearances as Oprah Winfrey’s go-to psychological expert.

A press release quotes Dr. Phil making a statement about his meeting with Britney:

“My meeting with Britney and some family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention.”

“She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her.” (more…)

TMZ was there as Britney Spears was wheeled out of her home last night on a gurney by paramedics. Look at that shot of her inside the ambulance — she’s smiling! What in the world is the problem here?

The short story:
The incident occured after a three-hour custdy standoff with Kevin Federline - Britney REFUSED to give back her kids. The police were called, Britney went crazy, she was hauled off for mental evaluation, PRAISE GOD.

America’s favorite poptart, Britney Spears, has released her newest video.

Pieces of Me is a paparazzi-themed song and dance, and I have to admit: I love the mocking tone of it.

Britney appears in this video with several “doubles” and works her way through a variety of rumors and pompous remarks about herself.

I think that Pieces of Me is certainly better than her trainwreck video for Gimme More.

But don’t take my word for it — read the rest of this entry and watch it for yourself. (more…)

Yahoo! News just reported:

Child welfare investigators are looking into “multiple child abuse and neglect” allegations in the custody battle between Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline, according to court documents released Tuesday.

In a request to unseal parts of the case file, an attorney for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services wrote that there are concerns about the safety and welfare of the two toddlers, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, if they are left in their mother’s care. (more…)

Britney Spears almost bailed on her latest half a million dollar music video shoot…that is, until she found out Jive Records was going to give the shoot to an up-and-coming new artist. (more…)

TMZ was in a Van Nuys courtroom yesterday as Britney Spears‘ attorney, Michael Flanagan, asked that her driving without a valid license case be continued until January 2.

As TMZ first reported in October, the L.A. City Attorney wants to place Britney on 12 months of probation for driving without a valid license. If they do, and she picks up another citation or happens to run over a photographer’s foot, that could constitute a probation violation and she could end up in jail just like Paris. (more…)

While lawyers were in two L.A. courthouses yesterday, Monday, arguing over her various driving violations and custody issues, Britney Spears spent her time readying for her next musical move: a new video.

Usmagazine.com has learned that production on the video for her single “Piece of Me�? was scheduled to begin this morning at 8 a.m. at Social Hollywood. A source tells Us that the video will be directed by Wayne Isham, who helmed the video for the 2002 Brit hit, “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.�?

A set source tells Us that since Spears, 25, has a scheduled visit with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, on Tuesday, she will only be available to film for two hours, between noon and 2 p.m. During that time she will shoot scenes where she dances on a bar and runs down a staircase. There will be 15 extras, as well as a body double for Brit. (more…)

Britney Spears was reportedly devastated to find out she has been included on a recent “unsexy�? list.

The star was planning to make a surprise appearance at a Maxim magazine event at Opera nightclub in Los Angeles on Tuesday night until she found out about the magazine’s most recent “top five unsexiest women�? poll, alongside Madonna, Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh and Sarah Jessica Parker. (more…)

Have you heard about this? Kevin Federline is to reveal all about his troubled ex-wife Britney Spears in a TV interview with chatshow queen Oprah Winfrey. (more…)

More court documents in the ongoing custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were released Thursday, which revealed some intimate details about their finances.

• Federline, earned more than a half million dollars in 2006, mainly from entertainment and endorsement deals – but minus business expenses, he only grossed $7,436 that year.

• Spears earns approximately $737,000 per month.

• Federline receives $15,000 a month in child support payments from his ex. (The amount may change, depending on how much more custodial time he ends up getting.) He is entitled to child support payments until Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, become adults, since Spears is the higher earner.

• The documents also reveal that Federline earned $3,300 in royalties in 2006 for his debut song “Popozao.�?
