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…)

Commissioner Scott Gordon has given Spears two visits per week, from 12 noon to 7 PM and one overnight visit. The visits will be monitored.

Spears and K-Fed are ordered to figure out holiday schedules with the kids.

Britney must submit evidence that she child-proofed her pool area by Friday.

In his order, the Commissioner wrote that when Britney has the kids, “the environment at the house ranged from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all.â€? The Commissioner also recounts what the parenting coach complained of — that “during all three of my visits Ms. Spears rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play.â€? (more…)

Britney Spears invited a man to snort cocaine off her chest during a wild party at her Hollywood mansion just two days after losing visitation rights to see her sons, it has been reported. Scott Kohler, 29, claims he and a group of 10 other strangers were invited to join Spears for a night of heavy partying on October 19, when the troubled star drowned her sorrows with vodka and cavorted with the men in her jacuzzi.

Britney Spears arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel Wednesday for her first Parenting Without Conflict session.

“She’s not nervous, she’s actually looking forward to it,” says a source close to the former princess of pop.

Britney’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, was reportedly at the hotel as well, which totally makes since because the court ordered them both to take the class. And I doubt the court is about to conduct the class twice, just so they don’t have to see each other. I mean, right? They see each other all the time anyway, what with them having CHILDREN together and everything, so seeing each other in a classroom really isn’t that big of a deal. Or is it? (more…)

Who needs a duet with Justin Timberlake when you can have one with Oscar The Grouch? Yes, you heard me correctly. The Daily Star is claiming that Britney Spears will sing a duet with Oscar The Grouch in an upcoming episode of Sesame Street. Sources are hoping that this could possibly help clean up Britney’s image.

“It’s a chance to prove she can be a wholesome girl.�

Apparently the duo will be re-doing a cleaned-up version of “Toxic.â€? (more…)

Roseanne has become vocal about Britney Spears, and her words aren’t limited to Britney’s parenting skills. Rather, she is quite opinionated about the disservice Lynn Spears has done for her daughter. The open letter was published on Roseanne’s blog and calls for Britney to get clean, get sober, and for Lynn to get her daughter [Britney] “straightened out.” I have to wonder: does Roseanne write and publish this blog, or do assistants do it? Does Roseanne even know what is written here? In any case, here’s what she had to say:

“The judge is trying to teach you a lesson, shut your mouth and learn it! You are a bad mother, and so is your mother! Get your shit together and take care of your kids!! Your mom needs to lock your spoiled ass in the basement or wherever it is that you cannot get anymore drugs. Stop drinking immediately too! If you are too weak to do that, then you are no better than a crack whore on the street, and your mom should stop pimping your ass and do what mom’s do…lock up your kid, and sit there with her for as long as it takes to get her right!!! Get guards around her to sober her up! SIT WITH YOUR KID, MOM! AFTER YOU AND HER DAD PIMPED HER OUT LIKE JON BENET, SIT THERE WITH HER AND STRAIGHTEN HER OUT…THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!! (not even hers, but yours, put pimpng out your other daughter on hold til you make your grown one better).” (more…)

I don’t know how much stock to put into rumors, since some have validity and others are bold, outright lies. (And other SHOULD be lies, but alas, sometimes celebrities make stuuupid decisions.)

Latest on the rumor mill? Britney has allegedly been begging K-Fed to give her a second chance. (Um, ha! This is funny because if it were true, it seems that KFed would be smart to take her back, so that he can have her money again, since that seems to be what he’s after. Also, think of all the money he’d make from the publicity of the ordeal.)

A source has said that Britney thinks getting back together with K-Fed will help “straighten her life out.” Which, hey, that may have some validity to it, and it would certainly give the kids a bit more stability at home.

Unfortunately for the rumors, Kevin reportedly wants nothing to do her and refuses to give her a second chance.

Now, I don’t know if this is true, so don’t come running to me if you find out otherwise (well, actually, DO coming running to me – I love getting tips about Britney!), but apparently Kevin’s refusal sent Britney into a deep depression. To top it all off, when Britney learned that Kevin was dating ex-Playboy model and Colin Farrell sex-tape-star, Nicole Narain, Britney flipped out and called the Befrienders suicide hotline. Several times. (more…)

Boy, howdy. If Britney wasn’t in trouble before, she is now. (How many times in a month can I say that? It seems like something new has been coming to light each day about Britney, and I don’t know what percentage of these rumors are true, but there are A LOT of them.)

This time, it came by word from Britney Spears’ former bodyguard, Tony Barretto. He gave a statement to “News Of The Worldâ€? (Uh, how much was he paid for that “statement”?) accusing Britney with some serious allegations. Namely, that he believes Britney was under the influence of drugs and alcohol while with her children. (Which may be a contributing factor to the judge’s ruling last week.)

A Portion of Tony Barretto’s statement according to NewsOfTheWorld.co.uk:

“She went on a date with musician Day, 26—who she’d met in rehab—telling her worried protection team she didn’t need them. We did security checks on Howie and told her he was trouble. But she ignored us.

“Hours later hysterical Britney called aides, claiming Day was refusing to let her leave their hotel room. She said she wanted to cancel the tour. She was very confused. We asked her if she was OK and reminded her she had a show to do. Then Howie came on the phone and started arguing with us. We knew we had to get to her fast.” (more…)

She already has two children, and now she’s learning how to parent them. This week, in an order handed down by the court, Britney Spears got the court-ordered version of a slap in the face. According to court documents, Britney must:

• Undergo random drug and alcohol testing TWICE each week
• Refrain from drinking alcohol or using drugs around her two sons or for 12 hours before she cares for them
• Meet with a “parenting coach” for eight hours a week (the coach will observe and report back to the court about Britney’s parenting skills)
• Cease “making derogatory remarks” about Kevin Federline in the presence of her children
• Stop “using corporal punishment” (most commonly known as spanking, I had to look that one up) to discipline her children
• Complete the court’s “Parenting Without Conflict” class

We’ve seen plenty of Britney wearing wigs, weave and whatever else — but we haven’t seen her natural hair. Almost two months ago I suggested several different styles Britney could wear without resorting to extensions or wigs, styles that would look classy and cute.

Though she has yet to go public with her own hair, and I really wish that she would, we’ve still managed to obtain pics taken of her sans scarf, sans wig, sans extensions, sans ballcap. (more…)

At first I didn’t think the rumor was true, and then the NY Post ran a report about it, which made me re-think my stance on rumors. Maybe there’s something to them, afterall.

You see, word is out that Jive, Britney Spears’ record label, had a big comeback planned for Britney. They had coordinated with Sexyback singer JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, and Britney’s hot ex that she never should have let go in the first place, as well as producer TIMBALAND to record a song with Britney. It would be a duet for JT and Brit, a song that Justin had supposedly written for Britney. And Britney backed out. (more…)

Oh, that Kevin, he’s after it. He’s totally after it, and he may totally get it, and if only we knew what “it” was, we’d be sitting pretty. See, the thing is that we don’t know if Kevin just wants more of Britney’s money - like he thinks that he’s ENTITLED to it, or something? - or if he actually cares about his children and wants THEM. Or maybe both? Why hasn’t he tried to get custody of the children he had with Shar Jackson, if fatherhood is suddenly so important to him?

That’s what I want to know.

Anyway, so now Kevin’s attorneys have served an executive administrator of Promises Rehab Facility (the facility where Britney stayed for one month back in February and March 2007) with a subpoena. I don’t about Britney, but I’m expecting that SOMETIME SOON (hint, hint, Britney) she should probably set her legal team into action. We’re waaaiiitttinnnggggg, but it doesn’t seem that Britney is doing anything about Kevin’s aggressive custody plan.

Hollywood.com reported that Britney Spears is to set the record straight about her much-publicized personal problems in a revealing interview with OK! magazine, according to reports.

The troubled star, 25, is said to have personally called the magazine’s main switchboard and asked to speak to the publication’s editor-in-chief, Sara Ivens, to negotiate a deal for the interview, according to TMZ.com.

And the mother of two is expected to tell all about her rift with her mother, Lynne, her custody battle and impending divorce from ex Kevin Federline, and her one-month stint in rehab in February.

The issue of OK! magazine is reportedly due to hit newsstands later this month.

Britney Spears claims that she was forced into rehab by her mom, manager and soon-to-be ex husband. She says she never had a drug or alcohol problem and she never should have gone to rehab. She did admit she had an emotional problem after the birth of her second child.

Apparently, Kevin Federline forced Britney into rehab by threatening to battle her in court over the custody of their two children if she did not check herself into rehab.

According to Britney Spears, it’s her mother that needs help.

Cameras snapped the crazy spears after chowing down at Shu Sushi in Beverly Hills yesterday, where she said, “I hope my mom gets the help she needs,” she told photogs outside the restaurant, adding, “I’m praying for her right now.”
