Catching Up with Britney Spears

Britney Spears seems to be making a comeback and while her life is still probably considered crazy by some standards, things do seem to be working out well for the former pop queen. She’s getting ready to head out on her Circus tour in March, but she may not be alone. Custody arrangements are being worked out with her ex, Kevin Federline, so Britney will be able to have her boys join her on the road. Right now, Kevin has primary custody with Britney having 50-50 access to them in visitation rights, so Kevin is working on a schedule where … Continue reading

It’s Over! Britney and Kevin Settle

So much for seeing Britney Spears and Kevin Federline square off in court. The legal saga that has surrounded the reforming pop star and her wannabe rapper ex-husband for nearly two years is drawing to a close… for now. The former couple has reportedly reached a settlement in their prolonged and at times ugly custody battle over their two young sons. While the agreement has yet to be authorized by a judge, reports say Federline will retain sole custody of 2-year-old Preston and 1-year-old Jayden. Meanwhile, Spears who currently sees the boys three times a week (with one overnight visitation) … Continue reading

Who’s Your Favorite Movie Villain? Part Four

The list of villains just seems to go on and on, doesn’t it? And being a villain has often paid off dearly for those playing the part. I cannot even count the Oscar nominations and wins of the talented actors and actresses I’ve listed in my movie villain blogs. Continuing the EW list of villains, if you ever have to visit the psych ward a la Britney, you wouldn’t want to look up and see Nurse Ratched waiting for you. Louise Fletcher was the sixth actress in line to play Nurse Ratched, but it is hard to imagine anyone else … 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

Medical Employees Axed for Spears Snooping

I guess the temptation was just too much… The allure of knowing all about Britney Spears has landed more than two-dozen medical employees, including doctors in hot water. In fact, at least 25 staff members at the UCLA Medical Center are either looking for new jobs this morning or are enduring severe disciplinary actions, according to the Los Angeles Times. The newspaper is reporting that the breaches occurred during Spears most recent hospital stay. (The 26-year-old troubled pop star was involuntary hospitalized at the medical center’s psych ward for one week beginning January 31st.) According to the L.A. Times article, … Continue reading

Britney Spears Sitcom Star?

Will the real Britney Spears please step forward? It’s no secret that the 26-year-old pop star is guest starring on an upcoming episode of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” but who would have imagined the response from her co-stars would be so, well, uh, positive? Apparently, the reforming pop wreck is actually acting… normal. But is it all an act? According to news reports, the singer arrived on the series’ set promptly at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and is expected back later today to finish shooting her scene. Show producers say Spears is portraying a receptionist in … Continue reading

Brit Scores a Small Bit on a TV Show and Gets an Allowance to Boot

Maybe she was jealous of her baby sister’s new TV role? Or, perhaps, Britney Spears has simply tired of her daily Starbucks and retail therapy routine. Either way the troubled pop star is heading back to the small screen. Ms. Meltdown just scored a guest role on CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother.” The last time the mother of two appeared on TV was in April 2006 when she played a conservative talk show host on an episode of NBC’s “Will & Grace.” Prior to that she and ex-husband Kevin Federline enjoyed a brief stint as reality TV stars on … Continue reading

Jamie Lynn Spears Back on TV and Papa Spears Stays in Control

Coming soon to primetime… Jamie Lynn Spears… minus her growing baby bump. The pregnant “Zoey 101” star (and Brit’s little sis) will appear in an episode of the ABC comedy, “Miss Guided” on March 20th. But don’t be looking for signs of a bun in the oven. Show producers say the episode was shot in October after Spears wrapped “Zoey 101,” but prior to the teen announcing that she is expecting her first child. The sitcom, which is considered a midseason addition to ABC’s primetime lineup, stars Judy Greer playing a formerly awkward high school student who returns to her … 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

So Long Sam

Sam Lufti, the man Britney Spears’ parents consider to a parasite sucking the life out of their derailed daughter, has now (at least temporarily) been shut out of the popwreck’s world. Yesterday a judge named Brit’s father, Jamie Spears, conservator of his daughter. Which basically means that he is now in control of the 26-year-old singer’s life. In addition, the judge also slapped Lufti with a restraining order mandating him to stay away from Britney, who continues to be evaluated at UCLA Medical Center’s psychiatric hospital. The judgment means Lufti (who calls himself Britney’s “manager and friend” but is referred … Continue reading
