Britney Spears
Gossip (Page 74)

According to London's The Sun, Britney Spears' aunt, Chanda McGovern, says that her family fears they will "turn on the TV and find out she is dead."

So she's not too concerned that her niece might die, just that she might learn about it on TV? It's true, that could really ruin a dinner party.

Chanda McGovern told the British newspaper that she's worried Britney Spears' self-destructive behavior is nearing a breaking point. And apparently feels that getting lots of money by talking to a tabloid is a great way to help Brit out.

Seriously folks. We understand Matt Encinias getting to second base with Britney in a drunken haze and then selling out. But her aunt? Hey, at least she can pack lightly for her upcoming vacation - the weather's nice and hot in hell.

Speaking of which, you guys check out Reaper yet? Good show!

Anyway, here's what McGovern says about her niece: "We are worried things are going to spiral out of control... whether it be intentionally or accidental, there may be a drug overdose. We are worried about suicidal tendencies in her."

McGovern married Britney Spears' uncle 14 years ago. An 11-year-old Britney sang at their wedding. This was before she developed an aversion to pants.

Chanda McGovern confessed that her family has been pleading for her to take a break from L.A. and come back to her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

"She has not got a backbone, a family member to help her... Her mother was her backbone. Since they've fallen out, everything has gone to hell."

McGovern says she wasn't surprised that an L.A. judge handed custody of Sean and Jayden, Spears' sons, over to their dad, Kevin Federline, on Monday.

"The kids came second and her party life has always come first, so it really wasn't a shock that the kids have been taken away from her."

McGovern, herself a mother of three, even expressed great disapproval over her 25-year-old niece's choice of underwear ... or, more accurately, lack thereof: "Not wearing panties is not something a true southern girl would do."

Well, at least this pathetic sellout relative got one thing right. Britney Spears, no underwear just ain't appropriate when you be gone clubbin'! Ding dang, girl!

No program or mindset has ever been installed in Britney Spears that makes her just want to stay home, clean the house, make a PBJ sandwich and watch The Hills sometimes.

This would also mean, you know, spending time with her sons.

Britney's hard partying ways and relentless self-destructive path, Fox News notes in a recent editorial, leaves her prospects for regaining custody in doubt.

"She will always be a visitor now," sneered a source close to the case.

According to sources, Kevin Federline's camp filed motions last Friday to take the kids away from Britney Spears. Among other things, they claimed she hadn't made arrangements for mandatory counseling and drug testing.

Cited in the papers was the declaration of Britney's former bodyguard, Tony Barretto, who claimed he witnessed Spears parading around nude in front of her kids, doing drugs at a restaurant and having done crystal meth in a hotel.

Despite the fact that last week Britney Spears was described by the judge as a habitual drug user, the singer simply decided to ignore his opinion.

Instead of keeping her kids at home, quiet, warm and safe, she took them to a Malibu diner where celebrity news photographers hounded them. So great is Britney's need for public approbation that she pimped out the kids.

What made it worse was news that she was driving without a valid driver's license. Of course, a prior late night drinking champagne didn't help.

The big question is why? Why is she doing all this? And who is advising her? The answer? No one. She has no manager or publicist. She doesn't speak to her own mother, Lynne Spears, upon whom she served legal papers months ago.

That leaves her "cousin" Alli Sims â€" and that's another story.

Sources say that Alli Sims, who is not a close cousin of Britney, has set out to remake her own personal version of "All About Eve" or "Gaslight."

"She wants her own career as a singer," a source says. "She's ambitious and going after it. They recently played her demos up at the label and everyone loved them."

All this talk about Alli and her possible motives to see Britney fail makes us wonder who the pop star's actual friends - if there are any - might be.

And who in God's name is advising Spears to get drunk and drive around without a valid license, while using her kids as passengers no less?

This whole episode is eerily reminiscent of Anna Nicole Smith.

All the plot points in Smith's bizarre last year of life: the pregnancy, the death of her son, the scheming of her lawyer and companion, the rise of her personal shrink as her doctor, Anna's own death â€" look like a blueprint for Britney.

Someone should sober Britney Spears up quickly and make her read some of these stories, unless she wants to wind up a corpse.

If you thought things couldn't get any worse, or bizarre, in the life of Britney Spears, you obviously don't read enough celebrity news.

She's redefining the depths to which she sinks by the day. The latest? In Touch Weekly reporting that there is a new Britney Spears sex tape.

A guy who met Britney Spears while she was on vacation in June tells In Touch that he made a graphic sex video of them and that it might become public.

The 28-year-old, who was living on Hawaii's Big Island at the time, says he left his camera rolling without Britney Spears' knowledge as he was going to town on her at the Four Seasons hotel on the Kona-Kohala Coast June 7.

Britney Spears was first the subject of sex tape rumors right after she and Kevin Federline split last winter. Now a new sex tape rumor is making the rounds.

So far, according to Perez Hilton, the only thing this new dude claims is holding him back from releasing the sex tape is disappointment in his own performance - he's too embarrassed to let the rest of the world see it!

It's alright, man. We can handle it. Besides, we're talking about sex with Britney Spears. You think she was sober enough to remember the details?

In Touch claims he met the mother of Sean Preston and Jayden James in the bar at 1 a.m., and that they partied together in Britney's room before hooking up.

"It was just normal sex, we didn't do anything crazy," he says. "It was a little disappointing. It lasted for 25 minutes and then we passed out."

So to sum up, we are talking about a Britney Spears sex tape in which she gets it on with some dude for 25 minutes and then falls asleep. Wow.

What do you think? Is this Britney Spears sex tape for real? It seems like a classic bogus piece of made-up celebrity gossip, but then again, considering who we're talking about here, you can't be sure it's bull$h!t by any means.

The real million-dollar question: With David Hans Schmidt now deceased, who's gonna get ahold of the tape and leak clips to the press as they shop it for seven figures? Rest in peace, big fella. You are already missed.

Thanks to his passionate, tearful and unintentionally hilarious appeal for celebrity gossip sites and people in general to back off Britney Spears (!), nut job Chris Crocker quickly became one of the train wreck singer's best-known fans.

The feeling is not mutual.

The Tennessee native, who garnered instant fame after posting his "Leave Britney Alone!" YouTube video, rubs the pop princess the wrong way.

"Britney does not think Chris Crocker is funny," a Spears pal, possibly Sam Lufti, tells Us Weekly. "She thinks he's creepy and that his videos are an obvious attempt at fame. She finds it insulting and difficult to watch."

But Chris Crocker defends his teary online tribute.

"It was to give Britney fans a voice," he said. "There is nothing insulting there. It was for her fans to show our support."

Crocker was in L.A. promoting Onch Movement jewelry when he learned Spears lost custody of Sean Preston Federline, 2, and Jayden James Federline, 1.

But her #1 fan is confident that the situation is only temporary.

"My mom lost custody of me when she was younger and she got it back," says the outspoken Crocker. "She can always get it together. She's just not herself right now, it's a transitional time in her life. She's got time to change and she will."

Thanks, as always, for the words of infinite wisdom, Chris Crocker. It's a good thing this dude is getting his own reality show.

After losing custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James and dropping them off with Kevin Federline, going tanning, and finally stopping by the DMV, the great Britney Spears checked into Beverly Hills' Peninsula Hotel.

Her friend Sam Lufti - best known for getting into a physical altercation while getting served in Spears' custody fight - was there, and tells Us Weekly that she remains optimistic about regaining custody of the boys soon.

"She is doing okay," Sam Lufti said. "It has been a rough day. But she is feeling very optimistic about the future."

A source close to Britney Spears says her optimism comes from the fact the Monday decision to give K-Fed custody was merely the result of scheduling conflicts that kept Spears from showing up for court-mandated drug testing.

Some of our staff members know from experience that it's hard to find the time to give a blood sample twice a week in between all the trips to the DMV, tanning salons and various nightclubs that a person must make.

"There were scheduling conflicts and errors in communication as to times and places for drug tests, et cetera, but they're all squared away now," the source says. "Britney is hoping a judge will reverse the order as of Wednesday, now that she is making steps to follow through on what they have asked."

Sam Lufti, who took Britney Spears to the DMV to, at long last, get her a valid California license has been taking care of the scheduling for the troubled singer.

"Sam Lufti is arranging for Britney's drug tests. He's getting her back on track. Everyone is optimistic about her regaining custody," says a source.

Still, another friend of Spears' has a different story about the 25-year-old slow moving train wreck pop-star's mindset, saying: "She's so scared. For Britney, [losing Sean and Jayden] was her realest moment ever... She doesn't know what to do."

The concerned friend adds, "She is going hit an all time low."

And this celebrity gossip site will be there to cover it.

Okay, don't answer that, Columbus Short. Or you, J.R. Rotem. Or all of you, Isaac Cohen, Jason Filyaw, Howie Day, Matt Encinias, Criss Angel, Shannon Funk and Daimon Shippen. That's just a rhetorical question, aight?

She may have lost custody of her kids as of yesterday, but Britney Spears is still making good music. Or at least music. We've gotten ahold of the lyrics to one of her deep, passionate new songs, entitled "Piece of Me."

In the song, the mother of Jayden James and Sean Preston, seen here going after celebrity news media with an umbrella in February, blames all her problems on being famous and says that the public eye ruins her life.

"You want a piece of me? Come get it, y'all!"

There's even one line (see below), in which Britney sings (and we use that term loosely): "Don't matter if I step on the scene or sneak away to the Philippines, they still got pictures of my derrière in the magazine."

Three points about this, before we move on...

1. There's a good chance this is the worst rhyme of all time. No one sneaks away to the Philippines. Come on. That's the best you can do?
2. There's no way Britney Spears knows what derrière means.
3. Maybe her rear end (that's what it means!) wouldn't be in magazines if she wouldn't run errands or go clubbing in no underwear! Often!

Anyway. Here are the lyrics to "Piece of Me."

I'm Miss bad media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can't see no harm
In working and being a mama
And with a kid on my arm
I'm still an exception
And you want a piece of me

Britney Spears must hand over custody of her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James to Kevin Federline this week "until further notice," a judge ruled Monday after a hearing.

The judge gave no reasons in his written decision, issued after he met lawyers in a session requested by Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan.

K-Fed gets custody starting Wednesday.

The ruling comes after the filing of misdemeanor charges against Britney Spears - hit-and-run and driving without a valid license - and claims by her ex-bodyguard, Tony Barretto, that she used drugs, frequently got naked and is a danger to her children, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

A judge also said Britney is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of alcohol and controlled substances, and ordered her to submit to twice-weekly testing.

The singer, who has 50-50 custody with Federline, was seen around town with Sean Preston and Jayden James over the weekend, and on Sunday they had an early dinner in Malibu, as a crush of celebrity news people camped outside.

"She seemed fine," said Tony Koursaris, owner of the restaurant, Taverna Tony's, where she dined. "She was very comfortable having dinner here with her boys... The kids had a good time. Then we had to fight the paparazzi, of course."

It's really, really difficult for a mother to lose all custody of her children, but Britney Spears has always been extremely talented. And insane. Never count her out!

The photographers, however, did come in handy at one point over the weekend. Around midnight Saturday, her Mercedes ran out of gas during a food run.

Taking a break from trying to snap celebrity pictures of Britney Spears with no pants, some paparazzi went to a gas station and helped her gas up her Benz.

Britney Spears grabbed dinner at a Greek restaurant, Taverna Tony's, in Malibu on Sunday with - of course - sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, several male assistants and about 100 celebrity news photographers in tow.

As you can see, Jayden James Federline looks thrilled by the whole scene...

Apparently Britney Spears stopped off for a meal after taking paparazzi for a drive around Beverly Hills, then returning to Malibu without getting out of the car.

Check out the video below of Spears and the kids leaving the place. At least she wasn't wearing no underwear on this day, but she did manage to crawl under a car seat and flash photographers. Yup, no way you can avoid that one!

It's about time. We were starting to worry. After all, what's a day the world of celebrity gossip without some video footage from up Britney Spears' skirt?

Britney Spears is starving. The girl loves her some triple tall iced mocha lattes with chocolate sprinkles, y'all. But perhaps even more so, she craves attention!

Unlike other "celebrities," every single thing Britney Spears does is covered from every conceivable angle by the paparazzi.

And while this is surely inevitable to a degree, you don't see other celebrities asking photographers if they have tampons in public bathrooms, do you?

Despite mailing in her recent performance (and we're talking USPS Next Day Air Express 9 AM Delivery) at the MTV VMAs, and whining about it after, Britney Spears sure loves when the press pays attention to her on a daily basis.

Britney Spears loves her some Starbucks. And celebrity news coverage.

Brit sure does have something to smile about â€" she's getting attention, as always! And, for some reason, her new mediocre single "Gimme More" is #1 on iTunes in 12 different countries! People apparently enjoy throwing money away!

What do Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey and Britney Spears have in common?

If you said they possess giant boobs, a diva-like attitude and the delusion that people still care about their music, you'd be correct for the latter two singers.

But throw in the beautiful, pregnant Aguilera and here's what trait all these celebrities share: a new fragrance on the market.

The Hollywood Gossip marketing staff is here to analyze the promotional posters for all three perfumes, starting with Xtina:

Channeling her inner Justin Timberlake, Mrs. Jordan Bratman brings her sexy back to this advertising campaign. The perfume's tagline? Sometimes it's all you need to wear.

We hope Megan Fox follows that advice.

Similar to Christina, a naked Mariah Carey pimps herself out in the above ad. Said the singer about this product: "The inspirations for M by Mariah Carey were multiple places I've been, moments in my life and childhood memories. It combines my favorite scents and means so much to me. I wanted my fragrance to be like a gift to my fans."

And, hey, it only costs $175 for a half-ounce bottle!

Do you believe in a fragrance from Britney Spears? The mess of a mother hopes so, touting in her poster that "The greatest freedom is to believe in yourself."

We agree. Still, though, we're not sure why anyone would wanna smell like a train wreck. Carnage and smoke aren't an alluring combination.
