Spears’ Father Extends Conservatorship Until ’09

Posted by Irene Ogrodnik on August 4th, 2008

Britney Spears’ father will continue to have control over the pop star’s conservatorship until 2009.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz will continue to allow Jaime Spears’ conservatorship over his daughter for the remainder of the year, reports E! News.

“Regarding the conservatorship of the person, I understand that Ms. Spears is reluctantly agreeing to extend those letters,” Goetz said. “We are extending them until Dec. 31, 2008.”

However, Goetz did have some good news for the singer.

“The order is without prejudice and is subject to early termination.”

The pop star was placed in her father’s care back in February. Since Jaime Spears has been given control of his daughter’s estate, Britney has enjoyed a string of personal successes—including extended access to her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 17 months.

Brit in the Dark about Jamie Lynn’s Bun-in-the-Oven

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 19th, 2007

After having so much experience with handling bad press, Britney’s response to sister Jamie Lynn’s baby news was press-ready, polite, and even a little bit sincere.

E! News reported that Brit’s rep spilled the beans exclusively to them about Brit’s response to the shocking verified rumour. According to these reports, Britney allegedly “wishes her sister nothing but the best and asks for privacy during this time.” A bit formal, but word is flying that the reason for her distance during the media frenzy is partially due to the fact that Brit did not know about the baby until it hit news stands earlier this week.

According to “People”, as well as popular gossip blog Perez Hilton, Spears was none the wiser about her baby sister’s bun-in-the-oven until she spotted the headlines on OK! magazine herself. According to “People”, the singer called the rag herself to get to the bottom of the shocking headlines.

Jamie Lynn has not yet commented on her choice to keep the news from her older sister at present.

Breaking News: Britney’s 16-Year-Old Sister Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant

Posted by Max Whiteside on December 18th, 2007


Jamie Lynn Spears has been able to shock the world with news that not even her sister can top – she’s pregnant. At age 16.

Perhaps in an effort to show up Beyonce’s sister Solange, who was pregnant at 17, the micro Spears announced today that she’s expecting.

“It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected,” Jamie Lynn told OK! Magazine. “I was in complete and total shock and so was he.”

The “us” refers to her and boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

Even her crazy sister Britney Spears waited until she was in her 20s to have her two “cute mistakes,” as comedian Sarah Silverman referred to them.

It’s just another notch in the crazy Spears family bed, but the first for the young Jamie Lynn, who has had to watch from the posts as Britney soiled the family’s name for oh so many years – the marriages, the head-shaving, the pantiless outings, the seatbeltless outings with the kids, the rehab stints, etc.

Now it’s catch up time.

“Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone’s opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me,” said Jamie Lynn, who is three months along.

She says her mother was upset at first because she didn’t expect the news (we really feel bad for this poor mother. It’s not your fault; blame Hollywood). “A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive.”

Jamie Lynn has made a name for herself in recent years as the star of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 though is still most famous for being the sister of Britney, the singer-turned-tabloid mainstay. But as the star of the show geared at young teens, she is seen as a role model. After this, she may have some explaining to do.

“I definitely don’t think (premarital sex) is something you should do; it’s better to wait,” she said to the magazine. “But I can’t be judgmental because it’s a position I put myself in.”

Welcome back, late night hosts.

Pink Snubs Spears

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 10th, 2007

PINK has refused to write a song for troubled chart rival BRITNEY SPEARS because she’s an “entertainer” instead of a “real singer.”

The outspoken pop star would prefer to pen material for artists like Amy Winehouse, whose brash attitude can do justice to her tracks.

She says, “Not because I don’t like (Spears) – I do think she’s crazy enough to do one of my songs. But it’s very hard for me to let go of my songs and the only people I write for are real singers – not that she’s not a real singer, but she’s more of an entertainer.

“When I mean real singers, I mean the likes of Lauryn Hill, Faith Hill – and I’d write for Amy Winehouse, because you need serious attitude to carry off the dumb stuff I write about.”

Lynne Spears Hopeful Of Reunion With Britney

Posted by andPOP Staff on July 5th, 2007

BRITNEY SPEARS’ mother LYNNE is hopeful the pair will reconcile soon – and insists “everything is going to be fine” between the pair.

The Toxic star and her mum’s relationship has been strained since the singer entered rehab earlier this year. Britney is believed to be angry at her family and former manager Larry Rudolph for ‘pushing’ her into the treatment
centre.

On Thursday, Britney was photographed handing a piece of paper to Lynne on the set of her sister Jamie Lynn’s TV show Zoey 101, which is believed to be a letter asking Lynne to stay away from her grandsons Sean Preston, 21 months, and Jayden James, nine months.

Despite the troubles between mother and daughter, Lynne says, “Everything is going to be fine. I’ve got a strong family, and everything is going to be fine.”

Meanwhile, Spears told reporters outside Los Angeles sushi house Unico on Sunday, “I’m praying for her right now. (I hope) she gets all the help she needs.”

When asked if the pair could overcome their problems, Britney added, “In time, who knows what will happen.”

Spears On Hiatus As Album Is Pushed Into 2008

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 24th, 2007

BRITNEY SPEARS has been dealt a new blow as she hopes for a pop comeback – her new material won’t see the light of day until 2008.

The pop superstar was hoping to release a new album later this year, but her publicist has confirmed all album plans have been shelved.

Spears’ representative, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, tells America’s Life & Style magazine, “I put her on hiatus. Brit’s album is pushed until ’08.”

But a source close to Spears’ camp insists executives at her record label, Jive, fear the Toxic singer’s pop career is over, judging by her latest efforts.

The insider tells the publication, “I’m surprised the album wasn’t pushed back to 2009. Everything’s up in the air with the album right now.”

T-Pain Working with Britney Spears, Usher and Kanye West

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 11th, 2007

T-Pain had written two songs for the next album to be released by Britney Spears. Problem is, he says, he has no idea when it will ever be released.

“It depends when she gets her shit together,” he says with a laugh, speaking to andPOP.

One of the tracks, Code of Fire, would be the possible first single, he says.

T-Pain, who released his second album, Epiphany, last week, also wrote five songs recently for Usher, two of which, he says, will make the album.

He also sings two hooks on Kanye West’s next album, Graduation.

“He got in contact with me actually,” T-Pain says. “He said he needed T-Pain on a couple songs.”

On top of all that, T-Pain has found time to write two tracks for Charlie Wilson (The Gap Band), two for Chris Brown and two for Chilli, the former member of TLC.

“She’s in between contracts right now so whenever she gets those contracts together and brings that album out, who knows?”

Spears: ‘I Was Like A Child With ADD’

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 5th, 2007

Troubled singer BRITNEY SPEARS insists she entered rehab because she had “hit rock bottom” and was “so lost,” and not as a result of depression or alcohol abuse.

The 25-year-old mother-of-two, who recently divorced husband Kevin Federline, admits she was behaving like a child with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) before spending a month at the Promises clinic in Malibu, California earlier this year.

Writing on her website, Spears says, “Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. ‘Till this day I don’t think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD.

“I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn’t know who to go to.

“I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.

“This letter is to not place blame on anyone, although I do see the world with a completely different set of eyes now.

“I know everyone thinks that I am playing the victim, but I am not and I hate what is going on right now so much. Maybe this is the reason for this letter… to maybe allow people to look at me differently.”

Spears Pulls Out Of Comeback Club Show

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 27th, 2007

BRITNEY SPEARS has got fans guessing about when she’ll make her big comeback performance after reportedly pulling the plug on a show in Los Angeles late on Wednesday night.

The Toxic singer was expected to take the stage with her band the M & Ms at hip Los Angeles club Forty Deuce, where she swapped costumes with dancers in December, but failed to show.

On the club’s website, boss Ivan Kane says, “She came on stage during rehearsals, looking very hot, with four back-up dancers and sang three songs.

“They ran through the set several times, the choreography was smokin’, and she sounded great.”

But Spears decided that she needed more time to rehearse for her comeback performance, and left devotees disappointed.

A handful of semi-secret shows are lined up for Los Angeles next week.

Spears Cut Ties With Hilton Over Image Fears

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 15th, 2007

Troubled pop star BRITNEY SPEARS reportedly cut all ties with socialite PARIS HILTON after she realised their hard partying was doing no good for her image.

The TOXIC singer became a regular on the Hollywood club scene last November – shortly after filing for divorce from estranged husband KEVIN FEDERLINE – when she was seen hitting the town with the hotel heiress and actress LINDSAY LOHAN.

But according to a former PR representative of Hilton’s socialite pal KIM KARDASHIAN, Spears allegedly ended the friendship as soon as she saw her reputation plummet, reports The Scoop.

And JONATHAN JAXSON also claims Spears tried to contact Kardashian when she was in New York, but her invite to go out together was turned down amid fears Hilton would get upset at her exclusion.

He says, “Britney had her people contact Paris and say they couldn’t hang out any more.

“Britney was in NYC and kept texting Kim to hang out and go bowling or something.”

Spears Reaches Divorce Settlement With Federline

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 1st, 2007

BRITNEY SPEARS and KEVIN FEDERLINE reached an amicable divorce settlement yesterday, including a custody agreement over their two young sons.

The estranged couple spent five hours at the Los Angeles offices of the TOXIC star’s lawyer LAURA WASSER along with Federline’s attorney MARK VINCENT KAPLAN.

MICHAEL SANDS, spokesman for Federline’s lawyer, says, “The parties signed a global settlement on all issues of their marriage and the custody of the children.”

The terms of the agreement were not revealed, but a Los Angeles judge still has to approve the documents.

Spears, 25, filed for divorce on 7 November – just two months after giving birth to their youngest child JAYDEN JAMES – citing “irreconcilable differences.”

In the divorce papers, Spears was seeking legal and physical custody of Jayden James and SEAN PRESTON, 18 months, while former dancer Federline, 29, also asked for custody of the children, as well as requesting spousal support.

The couple wed in October 2004 after a whirlwind six month romance.

The divorce agreement comes nine days after Spears checked out of Promises Rehab Centre in Malibu, California for a month-long treatment for unspecified problems.

Spears Pleads For Privacy As She Leaves Rehab

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 23rd, 2007

BRITNEY SPEARS has left rehab after completing a four-week program at a Malibu, California treatment centre and has pleaded with the world’s media to respect her privacy.

The troubled pop star – who checked into the Promises rehabilitation center last month – was being treated for substance abuse, but it is unclear exactly when the 25-year-old left the facility.

Spears first checked into ERIC CLAPTON’s Crossroads treatment centre in Antigua on February 14, but left the following day. She checked into Promises on February 19, before leaving the next day, and then re-checked herself in on February 21.

The TOXIC singer’s treatment came after months of hard-partying following her split from husband KEVIN FEDERLINE in November. Days before she checked into Promises, Spears stunned fans by shaving her head and getting a tattoo of a pair of lips on her wrist.

In a statement issued late on Tuesday, Spear’s manager LARRY RUDOLPH confirmed her exit from rehab and asked for the press to keep their distance while she settles back into life at home with her two babies SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES.

He says, “(She) has been released by the Promises Malibu Treatment Centre after successfully completing their program.

“We ask that the media respects her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time.”

Federline And Spears ‘Not Reconciling’

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 19th, 2007

BRITNEY SPEARS and estranged husband KEVIN FEDERLINE have become closer during her stay in rehab, but the couple won’t be reconciling, according to press reports in the US.

Federline has been a major source of support for troubled Spears, with media reports suggesting the pair are working on getting back together.

But a friend of Federline slams the reports, saying the former back-up dancer is not interested in rekindling the couple’s romance.

He tells American publication Us Weekly, “I talked to Kevin about Britney and he said he’s not getting back together with Britney. At least not right now. He just wants to be a friend for her.

“She has told him she would get back with him, but he’s trying to just do the right thing for everyone right now, but he doesn’t want to go back there again.”

Spears has reportedly become “very close” to RIVA lead guitarist JASON FILYAW, who she met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Spears In Lesbian Sex Tape Scandal?

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 14th, 2007

A surveillance tape reportedly showing troubled pop star BRITNEY SPEARS getting intimate with two female dancers at a New York club has become the latest hot property for internet porn companies.

The TOXIC singer changed into fishnet stockings and a bikini while partying with dancers at nightclub One on February 12 – and things allegedly got steamy with the threesome.

When a manager at the club discovered damaging video footage of the incident, the dancers were subsequently sacked.

A source tells the New York Daily News, “The manager said there was a tape of them. Both girls cried about it when they got fired, but they didn’t deny it.”

Adds another source, “If that thing gets on the internet, there’s going to be big trouble.”

According to the newspaper, there are also pictures of Spears’ bare bottom, which were taken while she was trying on clothes with the dancers.
