Vacations, Videos, and ‘Mo.

Friday, May 29th, 2009

britneybahamas.jpg Britney spent some time in the Bahamas with her family, soaking up the fun and sun with her boys and the rest of her family as she took a short break from the Circus Tour before it heads to Europe. And, as you can see, that body be bangin’! All the dancing she’s doing is certainly keeping the Pop Princess Perky!

She’s back in front of the camera as well, first in a promotional spoof for Logo, who’s going to honor Britney with their “Always Next, Forever Now Award” at the New Now Next awards on June 13. It’s a spoof off her fragrances, this one entitled “Mo” for all her gay fans. I don’t know bout you, but this spot makes me giggle…. Check it out!


.

She’s also on the set now for to film her new video for “Radar” - they were filming at a polo field in LA yesterday, and were said to have planned to get it filmed and to the editors in just two days - as she’s about to hit Europe to continue her Circus Tour on Wednesday. The video is directed by Daniel Meeyers, and Britney looks ladylike and proper on the polo field!

In legal news - Britney’s legal team have amended their paperwork that demands Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib pay the court costs for the recent trips to get those pesky restraining orders extended. They’ve decided to give them a break in the cost - that is if you call a mere $8,590 off an $114,555 bill a “break” for Sam Lutfi, and $65,552 (down from $72,292) for Adnan. Seems to me that stalking our Britney is an EXPENSIVE mistake!

Restraining Orders

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

I know, I know. I disappeared there for a while - but I’m back, so let’s catch up on Britney’s special brand of Crazy, hm?

As we mentioned before, Britney’s estate had filed for a restraining order against Osama Lutfi and Adnan Ghlib, which had Lutfi mad enough that he filed a lawsuit against Jamie and Lynne Spears in retaliation. He’s not the only one that went off a little half-cocked either.

The court granted the restraining order, and Britney’s ex, Adnan, in an attempt to resist being served, RAN OVER THE PROCESS SERVER WITH HIS CAR. I know, right? He as charged with assault for that, but then didn’t even bother to fight the restraining order in anyway. It was confirmed that it would remain in place for three years - until March 2012.

So you’d think that’d be the end of it, right? Wrong! This is BritneyLand, bitch! A couple of days ago an answering machine message surfaced that allegedly is from Britney to another law firm, asking for help to get the conservatorship lifted. It supposedly came in January, nd states that Jamie Spears has been threatening Britney with losing shared custody of her kids. Check it out:

The plot thickens!

Yesterday, the trial continued in the case of the restraining order against Sam Lutfi, and his sister - Christina - took the stand. She had some interesting claims, stating that she’d snuck a pre-paid cell phone to Britney at the singer’s request. Christina said that Britney had told her she wanted to get a hold of Sam. “She wanted him to help her finda lawyer…. she was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids.”

Christina stated further that Britney orchastrated a meeting with her at a gym in the Peninsula Hotel on Jan. 16 in the sauna where Christina gave her the phone, saying it was from Osama and Adnan. The phone was later discovered and confiscated by the security team.

The Spears’ legal team, however, maintain that Britney is so afraid of Sam that she asked if Attorney Blair Berk could get him arrested and keep him away. He also says she repeatedly denied seeking outside legal help, and they doubt the recording’s authenticity.

What a tangled mess! The trial continues on April 21st, where the judge will make a decision on the restraining order.

So what do you think? Is Britney chomping at the bit? Is she ready to get out from under her daddy’s thumb or is this more crazy? She’s racking up hundreds of thousands in legal fees, reportedly the figure could be as much as $2.7 million! Daddy’s authority won’t nd though, not until the singer can prove to the court, backed by doctor’s opinions, that she is ready to handle her own affairs. Can’t help but think this testimony is damaging enough that it won’t happen for a while, hm?

Off again, on again!

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

2-2_britThe rumor mills have gone WILD over the past couple days, declaring that the Circus Tour hung in the balance, that the whole thing might be called off due to an issue over whether the kids could come along with Mama as she performs around the nation or not. Rumor had it that K-Fed, Britney and Papa Spears had gotten together and were hashing out a deal what would allow Sean and Jayden to join Britney on tour, so that she would not miss out on seeing them for the entire time. It was reported that there would be three houses set up as ‘base camp’ - one in LA, New Orleans and New Jersey, and that there would be traveling between them so that the boys wouldn’t have to move around so much. Then there was the $4000 a week that would be paid to KFed in addition to his regular alimony for going along with the deal along with separate housing secured for her baby daddy.

So where was the reported problem? Well, it seems that KFed and Papa Spears forgot to let KFed’s lawyers in on the deal. Whoops! Since they weren’t a part of the decision, they were upset and I dunno, maybe thought Kevin was being taken advantage of, or something. Either way, they apparently got it worked out, as though Britney’s insiders said the Tour hung on this balance - if the kids couldn’t come she’d cancel the whole thing - now it has been reported that it’s all a go. The boys will be there, KFed is up for it all, and the Circus Tents will rise!

Whew.

Awaiting a verdict…

Friday, October 17th, 2008

The jury selection began on Wednesday for Britney Spears’ misdemeanor driving without a license trial, stemming from her 07 fender bender. By Thursday, they had a jury seated of those who claimed they could be impartial, and supposedly sympathized with Britney’s plight as a celeb hounded by the photogs. Opening statements began directly afterward, with the bulk of the arguments happening today.

In the opening statement, Michale Amerian called the case straight forward, she was driving without a CA license and thus is guilty. Britney’s attorney, Michael Flanagan argued that she was in possession of a Louisiana state license and not required to get a CA license until she becomes a permenant resident, that her primary residence is in Louisiana - but that she’s here for the kids and the custody agreements. He declared that she had hopes to return to LA as soon as the custody situation is straightened out, and she pays income tazes in Louisiana, is registered to vote there, and never applied for a homeowners exemption for a tax break on her Los Angeles home.

The closing arguments were today, Friday, and the jury has begun it’s deliberation. The prosecution argued that every significant occurence of Britney’s life happened in CA - her marriage, her sons, her divorce, and thus she’s a CA resident. He mentioned she applied for a CA license 4 months prior to the accident as well, and thus is guilty.

Called for her defense was Papa Spears, who testified that she had a Louisiana license and wants to return to Louisiana as soon as possible. In closing arguments, Flanagan declared that she doesn’t want to be in California, and that they have gotten a glimpse of whatit’s like to be here for her. She wants to go home. Amerian countered by pointing out the lack of hard evidence that she had a Louisiana license on that day, other then the testimony of her dad. (…can’t they look that shit up?)

No word yet on if the Jury has come back with a verdict. Britney could face up to 6 months in jail and a $1000 fine if convicted.

Since her presence is not required at the trial, as it’s a misdemeanor, Britney chose to spend the time with her boys, picking them up at school this afternoon, Nanny and Dad in tow. She looked content, relaxed and happy - as well she should be, as today is also the relaunch of her official webiste, britneyspears.com! Here’s her welcome message, and hints of what we can look forward too from Britney and her team!

Check it out! And be sure to watch the Womanizer Dance off - there’s some fun stuff there!

Sean P. and Jayden J. Visit Britney For First Time Since Standoff

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Less than 24 hours after it was discovered that a deal had been hammered out between the lawyers in the Britney Spears vs. Kevin Federline custody case that would allow the pop star supervised visits with her children, the little Federline lads came to pay mom a visit at her L.A. home.

boysvisitbrit.jpg

Around 9am PT today, a Dodge truck carrying Sean Preston, 2, and one-year-old Jayden James entered Britney’s gated community, The Summit. According to sources, the visit is scheduled to end at noon PT.

Also inside the house are Brit’s father Jamie, a pyschologist, one of Kevin’s bodyguards, the court-ordered monitor, and a lawyer.

This is the first time the boys have seen their mother since the Jan. 3 standoff with authorities that landed Britney in the hospital for several nights. Until today, she had only been allowed to speak with her children during short phone conversations.

Reviewing These Court Docs Makes Me Hate Sam Lufti

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

samlufti-britneyspears.jpg

A restraining order against the man who’s been at Britney Spears’ side during her downward spiral portrays him as a Svengali figure who held her a virtual hostage in her home, drugged her, took over her finances and controlled the ravenous paparazzi “like a general.”

The order against 33-year-old Sam Lutfi was based on a lengthy declaration from Spears’ mother, Lynne, who says they met in October 2007, when he “essentially moved into Britney’s home and has purported to take control of her life, home and finances.”

Lynne Spears’ account of a long, chaotic night at Britney’s home depicted a drugged and confused pop star being led around by Lutfi, who was setting up pictures for the paparazzi even as she was spinning out of control.

The documents released by the court Tuesday ordered Lutfi to stay away from Spears, her homes, her parents and siblings’ homes and the hospital where she is confined for psychiatric evaluation.

On Monday, Lutfi told The Associated Press in a text message: “I have no problems with anyone writing anything negative against me. My image is not of concern, hers is.” He has not responded to further inquiry.

Lynne Spears said in the order that Lutfi “drugged Britney, he has cut Britney’s home phone lines and removed her cell phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything — Britney’s business manager, her attorneys and the security guards at the gate.”

Much of the 6-page declaration centers on the night of Jan. 28, just a few days before Spears was whisked by police and ambulance to a hospital psychiatric ward, where she remained Tuesday night. Her mother outlined increasingly bizarre behavior through the night, and said her daughter asked at one point, “When do I get to see my babies?” to which Lutfi answered, “Wednesday.”

Spears has been in court with ex-husband Kevin Federline over custody of their two small children, 1-year-old Jayden James and 2-year-old Sean Preston. She lost visitation rights last month after refusing to hand them back over to their father.

Lynne Spears described a harrowing night that stretched into the wee hours when she, her husband and a friend went to Britney’s home because they’d heard Britney was crying after a fight with Lutfi. Once inside, Lynne Spears said she was told by Lutfi that her daughter didn’t want anyone but her in the house and she was afraid to see her father.

Lynne Spears also said there were several photoggraphers present, who deferred to Lutfi. “The paparazzi reported to Sam and addressed him with great respect,” she said. “They treated him like a general.” (more…)

Britney May Be Involuntarily Committed

Friday, February 1st, 2008

0131_brit1_tmz_ex.jpgSources at UCLA Medical Center tell TMZ Britney Spears has been classified as “G.D.” - Greatly Disabled. That is a huge and dangerous deal. That means the patient is unable to take care of basic needs, such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter. Being G.D. is one of the criteria for involuntary commitment.

Several health care professionals tell us Britney has fallen into a “manic state” due to her bipolar disorder. We’re also told, she arrived at the hospital this morning at around 2:15 AM but wasn’t admitted until 4:15 AM, because she was causing such a scene in the hospital. (more…)

Adnan Wants To Marry Britney

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

britney10.jpg

Crazy, meet crazazy: Britney Spears’ paparazzi bagman — whose wife just filed for divorce — proclaims that he wants to marry Britney, and more shockingly, that Britney wants to have his baby.

Rumors are also swirling that Britney is prepared to change her religious beliefs to be more in sync with Adnan’s religion: Islam. No word yet on whether she’ll convert, but if Britney’s affection for undertaking the religion of the moment, this seems like a plausible possibility.

Despite everything that has transpired between the two runaway trains, Adnan Ghalib tells “Entertainment Tonight” (via People) that their relationship is “far from over.” He says that he didn’t get involved with Spears to sell more pics. And here’s a howler: Adnan claims that when Britney was looking at pregnancy tests at a Rite Aid, she was “hoping” that she was pregnant with his child.

Britney’s Multiple Personalities

Friday, January 18th, 2008

0117_britney_ex.jpgSources are now painting a very disturbing picture of Britney Spears, or whoever she happens to be at any given moment.

It’s rumored that the whole British accent thing — well, it’s more than an accent. Britney has multiple personalities, including, as people in her life call it, “the British girl.” We’re told when Spears loses the British personality, she has absolutely no idea what she did during the time she assumed that personality.

Sources say Brit has a number of other identities, where she becomes “the weepy girl, the diva, the incoherent girl,” and on and on.

Sources say Britney had become the British girl the day she didn’t show for her deposition and has no recollection of it.

BritneySpearsWatch.com wants to know: WHO WAS SHE WHEN SHE WAS FLASHING HER PANTIES? OR REFUSING TO RETURN HER CHILDREN? OR DECIDING SHE’S TOO SICK TO SHOW UP TO A DEPOSITION, ONLY TO GALLIVANT AROUND TOWN LATER THAT SAME DAY?

Britney’s Suicide Letter

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

brit-needs-break.jpg

Apparently the Britney stand off earlier this month had a note found by her friend, Sam Lufti. But not just any note – it was a suicide note written by Britney.

Sam found the note on the bathroom counter in the days leading up to the meltdown.

The letter was filled with reasons why she didn’t want to live any longer, and included lines from a poem about death. Britney said she was sorry for making her life what everyone else wanted it to be.

Britney also mentioned in the letter how lonely and unfair life could be, how peaceful death seems and how her mind would finally be at ease.

BritneySpearsWatch.com wants to know: WHO AUTHORED THE POEM? IS THERE MORE DEPTH TO BRITNEY THAN WE REALIZE? DOES SHE ACTUALLY SPENT TIME READING LITERATURE AND POETRY?

No Sign Of Britney At Her “Most Important Custody Hearing”

Monday, January 14th, 2008

britney-spears.jpg

Britney Spears was nowhere to be seen today as a court hearing convened in her child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Responsibly, and continuing to prove himself in the court’s eyes as the better parent, Kevin and his lawyer were on hand as Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon began the hearing, which was scheduled after Gordon suspended Britney’s right to visit her sons.

Gordon allowed reporters into the courtroom for about one minute before he announced that the hearing was being closed.

The commissioner granted a motion from Britney’s attorneys to quash a subpoena, but there was no information given about what the subpoena involved or to whom it had been issued.

A throng of photographers and reporters waited outside the downtown courthouse to see if Britney would come to what one attorney described as “the most significant hearing in the case so far.” Law enforcement officers watched over the scene.

Britney, 26, has had trouble making recent legal dates: On Dec. 12, she called in sick for a court-ordered deposition, then arrived nearly two hours late at an attorney’s office on its rescheduled date, Jan. 3.

Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he didn’t know if Britney would come to Monday’s hearing, and he indicated that it would be important for her to be there to take the opportunity to try to persuade the court restore visitation.

“You can’t phone this one in,” he said. (more…)

Dr. Phil Pulls The Plug On Britney Spears Exclusive…

Monday, January 7th, 2008

drphil.jpg

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 and Dr. Phil?

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

britney01-08.jpg

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…)

Britney Spears Deposed for 14 Minutes

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

britney-deposed.jpg

Britney was finally deposed today, after rescheduling twice due to a “breakdown” in communication, in relation to her ongoing child custody case against Kevin Federline.

The deposition was scheduled to take place from 9:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. However, the depo did not begin until 11:32 a.m. for undisclosed reasons. Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that not a lot can be discovered in 14 minutes.
