Britney Spears
Gossip (Page 68)

It looks like Jayden James and Sean Preston Federline may be getting a makeover... or at least appearing in the mind of Britney Spears from time to time.

The "singer" stopped and shopped 'til she frickin' dropped Friday afternoon in Bel Bambini, spending more than $2,000 on her sons in the L.A. baby boutique.

Among Britney Spears' purchases were white and black tuxedos for each boy. And four pairs of dress shoes. Aww. Going to be attending a formal event, lil' guys?

That's all very cute. We love Sean and Jayden. It's nice to see that while she's not running red lights with them in the car, Brit is paying them some attention!

No word on whether Britney bought any pants or underwear for herself during the excursion. Our guess is she did not. Girl doesn't have much use for either.

Man, certain people just shouldn't be allowed to operate a car. Specifically teenagers, people over the age of 80 and Britney Spears.

Yesterday evening, Britney Spears blew past a red light - at a notoriously dangerous intersection no less - with Sean Preston Federline fast asleep in the back and the court-appointed monitor ducking for cover in the passenger seat.

Check out the amazing celebrity photo by Splash News of the incident:

Britney Spears endangers the lives of everyone in her Benz, as well as other motorists, as the monitor overseeing her visits with Sean P. and Jayden James ducks for cover.

The walking/driving train wreck approached the light on Coldwater Canyon slowly, then raised her cellphone to her face. It is not clear if Britney was, like, OMFG, sending a txt msg or making a call, and it is not known to whom.

Britney then drove into the intersection as someone outside screamed, "Red light, red light!" Spears turned left onto Mulholland Drive, managing to miss oncoming traffic and not get killed. Magical... downright Criss Angel-esque!

The judge in Britney's custody case made it clear that he has issues with Spears' driving. Scott Gordon has already temporarily revoked her visits with Sean and Jayden because she was driving without a valid license.

Yesterday, K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, asked the judge to forbid Britney from driving when Sean Preston and Jayden James with her. Gordon said he'd ponder that suggestion and make his ruling on it by November 26.

Expect Mark Vincent Kaplan to call for an emergency hearing within the hour.

An irresponsible Britney Spears has not responded to eight of 14 random drug tests (or requests for them), Kevin Federline's attorney said Thursday.

Saying the mother of Sean Preston and Jayden James is living in a "parallel universe," Mark Vincent Kaplan told the court that the singer was reprimanded three times by Commissioner Scott Gordon for failing to be reachable by phone.

"Mr. Federline doesn't want to take these two small children out of their mother's life, but what else are we to do?" Mark Vincent Kaplan said.

Spears' lawyer, Anne Kiley, called the drug testing "unconstitutional" and added that just because the singer fails to undergo testing doesn't mean she's actually using drugs. Kiley noted that Britney Spears has passed multiple tests.

Kiley also noted - to laughter from everyone present - that the judge in the custody case just doesn't understand what it's like to be Britney Spears!

The high-powered attorney told the judge her troubled client has received calls as early as 8:00 a.m. Kiley said pop stars don't get up that early, adding, "You are not a pop star with a number one album, so you don't know!"

The courtroom erupted in laughter.

Nevertheless, the Commissioner ordered both attorneys to reconvene at 10:30 a.m. PST to hammer out a new plan for insane Britney to take tests. Stay tuned.

Days after a judge ruled that Britney Spears could only spend three days a week with her children, she reacted by leaving her two kids in her parked car with a court-appointed monitor (whose job description apparently does not include babysitting) as she shopped for $18,200 worth of chandeliers.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Why does Britney Spears â€" even after having custody of her kids taken away â€" keep exhibiting such bizarre, highly questionable behavior when it comes to parenting? Simple: She's frickin' nuts, reports the newest Us Weekly!

Sources say the troubled pop "singer" does not seem to grasp the gravity of her custody case (there's a shock), and they blame her bizarre public behavior  - her swapping clothes with a stranger, frequent trips to the L.A. club scene wearing no underwear, etc. - on psychological issues, not drugs. 

"It's not substance abuse â€" it's mental!" a confidante says of Britney Spears.

Some suspect adult-onset ADD or depression, with one friend (Alli Sims? Sam Lutfi? Shannon Funk? Lucy Walsh?) saying, "Postpartum has always been a problem" after giving birth to Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

A court has ordered that Britney Spears must pay $120,000 in legal fees to her upstanding ex-husband, Kevin Federline, in their ongoing custody battle.

In documents released Tuesday, L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon told Spears to pay all but $40,000 of K-Fed's stated $160,000 in legal fees.

The decision was made based on the former couple's income - as a "recording artist," Britney Spears claims average earnings of over $737,000 a month, but "self employed" FedEx has stated he has no net income after expenses.

Kevin Federline currently receives from Spears $15,000 in child support, and $20,000 a month in spousal support, which expires on November 15.

Not a good day for Britney Spears, who in addition to getting socked with Kevin's legal bills, parked her Mercedes illegally in a handicapped spot.

Apparently in a huge rush to get her $29 fake tan session underway at her home away from home - Tanning Plus in Studio City, Calif. - Britney Spears just couldn't muster the strength to park legally a few feet away.

Inside, a tanning manager named Annette told Us Weekly, "[Britney] said she was a little tired, but she was happy. She said she sure loves the sun!"

Enough to face a $500 fine? Maybe that's why she hustled out of the store with her "cousin" Alli Sims, 26, quickly after a 20-minute fake n' bake job.

Oh, and despite previous reports this morning by The Hollywood Gossip, it looks like Britney's new album, Blackout, didn't top the charts after all.

Blackout sold roughly 290,000 copies in its first week, coming in at No. 2 on the charts behind The Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden, which sold 711,000.

By comparison, Carrie Underwood, who owes her fame to a 2005 American Idol win, sold 527,000 copies of Carnival Ride in the week of its release.

Every now and then, a ray of light reaches Britney Spears' otherwise dim world. Her album, Blackout, will finish at No. 1 this week, according to analysts.

It's a rare Britney Spears news story when there is no drunken rant, court date, dude hit by a car or upskirt / nude photo(s) mentioned. No, her newest disc has provided real positive news - between 325,000-350,000 units sold already!

That's enough to put the "star" at the top of the charts, just ahead of past former American Idol winner Carrie Underwood â€" at least this week.

Blackout: Topping the charts for Britney Spears.

Of course, Britney Spears' previous album, In the Zone, sold 609,000 units right out of the gate. To use another American Idol comparison, Chris Daughtry sold about 309,000 in his self-titled album's first week in stores.

Although Spears' first single from Blackout, "Gimme More," has inexplicably been getting a lot of radio play, it's unclear what single will come next - and whether it can generate any ensuing buzz for the album.

And, of course, whether it will be overshadowed by the next Britney Spears crotch shot, custody hearing or celebrity news reporter run over by her car.

During one of her two weekly visits with Sean Preston and Jayden James, Britney Spears makes a trip to the Crystal Place to check out chandeliers on Sunday.

We're not sure if Crystal Place is the place Britney buys crystal meth, but it if is, she might want to be a little more discreet about it. Maybe send Sam Lutfi out to pick up the next shipment, Brit, to avoid the celebrity news media attention.

Britney Spears: Looking hotter than ever... not.

In rare good news for Britney Spears, her new album, Blackout, debuted October 30 to decent sales and general critical praise. If things keep up, K-Fed will get all of the proceeds as child support, but that's a problem for another day.

No, this isn't an old story. She ran over someone else now.

Law enforcement sources report that the LAPD is conducting an investigation into a traffic mishap occurring Friday, in which the incomparable Britney Spears allegedly ran over an L.A. County Sheriff deputy's foot.

TMZ reports that a "traffic collision complaint" was filed by the Sheriff's Department and the LAPD is currently conducting an "active investigation." Reports say the LAPD is looking at the possibility of a hit and run by Spears.

This is the first hit and run complaint against Britney Spears in weeks!

The incident is said to have occurred as Britney Spears was leaving the L.A. County Courthouse after her most recent custody hearing.

The "singer" left without regaining many privileges, as Kevin Federline retained primary custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The LAPD said, in a statement, that it "is aware that Britney Spears was leaving the courthouse. We are also aware that a deputy was injured. The LAPD is unable to confirm the details on the injury because the investigation is in its initial stage."

Story developing, updates to follow ...

Looks like Britney Spears does something aside from party, ignore Sean Preston and Jayden James and go to Starbucks.

The awful mother also watches sex tapes.

How else to explain her view of Kim Kardashian? According to celebrity gossip newspaper The Sun, a friend of Britney's (Sam Lufti? Alli Sims?) quoted Spears as saying the following:

"I really love Kim's butt, skin and hair. Kim is a real women. A real horny beast."

Ray J would agree. As would Reggie Bush and Nick Cannon.

Sounds to us like Sean Avery and Mary-Kate Olsen have competition for hottest new couple in Hollywood.

What do you think? Should Kim and Britney get together?

Britney Spears' attorneys sure are busy these days.The latest in a long line of legal woes for the "singer" came Thursday as a lawsuit was filed against her by former manager Johnny Wright.Britney Spears and Johnny Wright parted ways in 2003. The manager claims she contractually owes him commissions for deals negotiated on her behalf through February 2008. According to Wright, Brit stopped paying in December 2006.

Britney Spears: Sued yet again. Nothing new here.

"I have a great deal of affection and empathy for her. As you know, I was a part of her career from the early days," Wright said. "But a contractual disagreement can unfortunately only be resolved in the courts, despite my wishes!"Britney Spears later sacked Wright's replacement, Larry Rudolph.Meanwhile, financial details in the ongoing custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were unsealed Thursday... and are eye-opening.According to papers submitted to the courts by Britney Spears:

• She earns $737,000 a month.
• She spends an average of $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations; $16,000 on clothes; $4,758 on dining; and $2,500 on phone bills a month. She spends $49,267 on mortgage payments.
• She gives $500 a month to her charity, the Britney Spears Foundation.

Her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, meanwhile:

• Earned more than half a million in 2006 (mostly from endorsement deals), but only grossed $7,436 after business expenses.
• Receives $15,000 a month in child support from Spears. He could get more if he receives permanent custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
• rossed a staggering $3,330 in royalties from his 2006 debut track "Popozao." Talk about raking in the big bucks.
