Britney Spears Watch

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?

The 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.

Thursday, the paparazzi were surprised to see the flipflop in Papa Spears and Britney’s relationship, if only briefly, as Britney accompanied Jamie to a doctor’s appointment in Hollywood. As they were there, the buzz mounted with the excited speculation that Britney might be hitting the stage next to Madonna that night! Word was that Justin and Britney would be making cameo’s at Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour at Dodger Stadium.

The rumors were true!

During the fourth song, Britney appeared on stage behind Madonna, looking fantastic as they collaborated on “Human Nature”. One of the concert goers told the press that it was a completely different Britney then we saw a year ago. “She was glowing! It looked like she actually wanted to be on the stage!” Ex-boyfriend Justin made his appearance as promised as well, joining Madonna for their song “4 Minutes” which got the high profile crowd singing along.

Check out Britney’s appearance below!

Also on Thursday, news came that Britney was not going to star as the Virgin Mary after all.
(Um, scuse me while I giggle a moment, because really? REALLY people? HAHAAHAHAH!)

According to FOX Pop Tarts, the role was right but the timing is wrong. Britney loved the script, and is aided by the fact that she’s not nearly as scandalous in Europe, but in the end, the producers of the film “Sweet Baby Jesus” decided in agreement with Britney that now is not the right time.

That seemed to be the only low spot in the weekend though, as after the big night at Dodger’s Stadium, Britney was allowed to take the boys home to Louisiana for the the first time since giving up full custody to ex-hubby K-Fed! Britney, Sean Preston and Jayden James were seen arriving in Kentwood Louisiana early Friday morning. Papa Spears and brother Bryan were along, as Mama Spears greeted the family at the airport excitedly. Insiders say they will spend a whole week back home, letting the boys get to know their cousin Maddie Briann and reconnect with Aunt Jamie Lynn!

Thinks keep getting better and better for Britney - and we couldn’t be happier for her!

While Britney was looking intense in the studio, keeping up with her rehearsal for her next video, and rumored appearances that will promote the new album, Jamie Spears was in court once again to discuss the conservatorship of Britney’s affairs. In a move that was not unexpected, Jamie was declared the permanent co-conservator of Britney’s estate, sharing the duties with her attorney, Andrew Wallet.

(Her attorney’s last name is “Wallet”?! Am I the only one amused by this?!)

Samuel Ingham, the court appointed lawyer in the case, told People that he’d met several times with Britney and she requested that he not object to the ruling at all, and commissioner Reva Goetz agreed saying that the permanent conservatorship was necessary and appropriate.

Don’t get all worried about the ‘permanent’ status though, as it simply means that they won’t have to continue meeting to renew the temporary status of Jamie’s running of Britney’s estate. It’s just a formality, and a source close to Britney reportedly said that it’s not going to last forever, it just is there to ensure increased time with the boys, and provide her with support for her music and work goals.

Terry Wasserman, a mental health lawyer who is not involved with the case added that “Ms. Spears can regain control of her life anytime, as long as her doctors feel she’s able to manage her own affairs.”

For right now, though, Britney seems to be content letting Daddy handle the day to day issues, allowing her to focus on her comeback trail. Womanizer is still doing great, and after a weekend in palm springs for Team Britney, they’re back hard at work, preparing for the albums December 2nd release date. And with Britney looking as good as she is? We’re content with that too!
