Pop Culture Potpourri: Britney and Justin’s Summer Reunion and Tom Cruise Jr.

I filed this one under: “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Life & Style magazine is reporting that Justin Timberlake has agreed to meet up with his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears at… get this… a Spears family barbecue this summer. According to the magazine, Brit’s dad/conservator Jamie Spears was the one who begged (I mean asked) the “SexyBack” singer to meet with his daughter in a neutral and “laid-back” environment. Sources tell the magazine that papa Spears is hoping Timberlake can further aid his reforming pop wreck of a daughter as she deals with her mental health problems and gets … Continue reading

Britney’s Reformation Continues—-Is There a Wedding in Her Future?

The answer to that question is “yes.” Only the former popwreck won’t be the one saying, “I do.” According to OK! magazine, the twice divorced mother of two will be walking down the aisle in a bridesmaid’s dress during her sister Jamie Lynn’s upcoming wedding to fiancé Casey Aldridge. It would stand to reason that big sis Brit would somehow be involved in the event given that it’s being held at her massive country estate in the family’s native Louisiana. The only catch—–the family affair isn’t expected to take place until after a pregnant Jamie Lynn gives birth this summer. … Continue reading

Britney Spears—-Why is She a Free Woman?

As you likely know by now derailed pop princess Britney Spears was granted an early release from UCLA Medical Center’s psych ward last week because a court representative found “no just cause” for the hold. “No just cause?!” Apparently, the court representative doesn’t watch the news, live in Los Angeles, or read this blog. In all seriousness Spears’ early release should be a lesson to anyone who thinks that a person should be institutionalized based solely on what he or she might consider “irrational” behavior. Because according to mental health experts, getting a patient to be held involuntarily on a … Continue reading

Dr. Phil Smells Fresh Meat and Her Name is Britney Spears

Quick… name the one person you would have least expected to show up at Britney Spears’s hospital room to offer psychological aid to the embattled songstress. Okay, besides Robin Williams. If you answered Dr. Phil McGraw go out and buy yourself a lottery ticket. Dr. Phil… Britney Spears… could the insanity meter gauging this drama peak any more? You’ve got a 26-year-old head shaving, bird flipping, finger lickin’ mother of two young sons who appears to have serious psychological problems and you throw an oversized, over-hyped, TV quack into the mix… Apocalypse now. And the sad part is that Dr. … Continue reading

So much for that 72-hour hold… Britney Spears has been released from Cedars-Sinai hospital. According to news reports, the smoldering trainwreck (who is reportedly still smoldering) left the Los Angeles medical facility Saturday with TV shrink and FOO (Friend of Oprah) Dr. Phil McGraw in tow. (More on his involvement in this mess later.) According to TMZ.com, hospital staff couldn’t be happier the pop wreck is gone considering the “hell” she put them through during her stay.

Britney Loses Kids Again—But for How Long?

You didn’t need to know anything about child custody laws to see this coming… As of late yesterday a judge banned Britney Spears from seeing her children. The newly issued court order states that Brit’s ex-husband Kevin Federline has been “awarded sole legal custody and sole physical custody of the minor children.” Those children being 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, both of whom are reportedly safe and tucked away in their dad’s Tarzana spread while their mother enters day two of a minimum 72-hour lockdown for psychological evaluation. According to court documents, Spears’s visitation with her children is … Continue reading

Britney Spears—2008 Starts Off Less Than Great

So much for a new year, a clean slate, and a fresh start… Popwreck Britney Spears entered 2008 as pathetically as she exited 2007… and things don’t look as if they will be improving any time soon. For starters, yesterday Ms. Meltdown’s latest lawyer, Sorrell Trope, filed a court document asking a judge to remove him from Spears’ ongoing custody case with ex-husband Kevin Federline. “There has been a breakdown in communications between (Spears) and Trope & Trope (law firm) making further representation of her interests impossible,” says the document. Basically, Trope quit. Though an attorney cannot simply withdraw from … Continue reading

Only God Can Help Britney

At least according to the congregation of Southland Christian Church in Lexington, Kentucky. The pastor of the church is rallying spiritual help for the derailed pop princess via the Internet. Pastor John Weece is encouraging members of the Southland Christian Church to send letters of love to the 26-year-old train wreck. Following what Weece describes as the pop diva’s series of “devastating life choices.” The pastor made Spears the subject of a recent sermon (which he later posted on the church’s website) and ended by asking parishioners to “take a few minutes and write a note to Britney.” Weece added … Continue reading

Britney Spears didn’t have to give up physical custody of her two young sons until tomorrow at noon, according to a judge’s order. However, the pop princess chose to hand them off to Kevin Federline’s bodyguard yesterday. (Poor kids.) Actually, according to video shot by the masses of paparazzi that hound her on a daily basis, Spears took 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James through the drive-thru at a Carl’s Jr. in L.A. at 12:02 p.m. yesterday and surrendered the boys to K-Fed’s bodyguard three minutes later. (No word on whether the burger run was for Brit or the … Continue reading

How Close Is Britney To Losing Her Kids? —The Answer

The world can now stop speculating as to whether Britney Spears’ erratic behavior will cost her time with her children. A judge has spoken and the answer is… NO—at least not for now. This afternoon a L.A. Court Commissioner issued a ruling in the custody fight between Spears and her former husband Kevin Federline. In it the judge confirms what the rest of the nation has been saying for a while—Brit Brit is a “habitual, frequent and continuous” user of alcohol and controlled substances.
