News and gossip about Britney Spears

Britney Spears released Blackout, somehow, in October of 2007. Despite all of the hullabaloo and rubbish embedded in her personal life, this is the best album Britney’s ever made. It is deeply produced, often chaotic, and often obnoxiously breathy. Nevertheless, Blackout is also amazingly captivating, precariously danceable, and damned exciting.

Before Brit mystified the world with baldness, babies, and bad behaviour, she was actually a pop star. Way back in 1999, she implored us to hit her one more time. Since then, life’s been interesting for the pop princess as she’s bounced boyfriends around and been reliable rumour fodder for the glitz-and-sham media. Her life has likely put many a paparazzo’s kid through college, if they have those…

K-Fed lied about his income and charged up ridiculous expenses, including insane tips, according to new court documents.

Britney Spears’ newest lawyer, Stacy Phillips, filed documents challenging the legal fees that Brit was ordered to pay for Fed-ex. Phillips claims K-Daddy “understated his income by at least $200,000.” She also says Federline buried all sorts of personal expenses and pretended to have $800,000 worth of business expenses.

According to the legal papers, Federline grossed $544,074.73 from his production company, “Gooseneck Productions” in 2007, and his expenses totaled $841,128.67. Phillips says Federline’s so-called business expenses included “extraordinarily high tips for food and beverage services [e.g., $1,100.76 tip on $2,782 bill; $200 tip on $371.29 bill; and $2,000 tip on $365 bill].

Appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday night, April 2 to promote his new film Leatherheads, George Clooney narrated how he discovered that Britney Spears was his neighbor staying across the cul-de-sac near his house.

The actor told David Letterman that as he returned home from dinner one night and was readying to go to bed he saw police choppers all around his house.

“I have a guest house at the end of the driveway. The choppers had search lights shinning out of them and there were five or six of them and I thought someone had broken out of prison and escaped and they are in the cul-de-sac and I am afraid they might be in my guest house,” he told a very amused Letterman.

Clooney’s sister sometimes stays in his guest house so he called her up but she told him she was in her apartment. When Clooney told her about the choppers around his house, she got on to the internet to find out what was going on.

In the meantime, Clooney decided to get proactive.

“I got a baseball bat and I walked out to the end of my driveway with the bat to beat the hell out of these fugitives,” he said.

The excitement ended when his sister called him and told him “that Britney Spears is being hauled off to the hospital.”

Britney Spears’ dad has denied reports the singer is set to endorse fitness brand Bally Total Fitness.

“Britney’s not endorsing Bally,” Jamie Spears says. “There’s no deal. There’s no truth to that.”

Bally Chief Marketing Officer John Wildman confirms that “Britney Spears is not going to be our spokesperson. We don’t have any comment regarding our relationship with Britney Spears.”

However, a source close to the Toxic star says that Britney’s people have been in contact with Bally in the past few weeks about signing the 26-year-old to the club as part of her comeback campaign. Those conversations have since been put on hold or have ended completely.

Regardless of whether the troubled star will subscribe to a Bally membership, news of a possible endorsement relationship is a step in the right direction for the singer, the source adds to OK! magazine, as it is a sign the songstress is “safe” to work with once again.

Britney Spears’ former manager, Larry Rudolph, confirmed celebrity gossip that he recently met up with the troubled singer, who is his old friend.

Like many others who have spoken with Britney of late (since father Jamie stepped into her life), Larry Rudolph says she’s “doing great.”

“I have spent time with her, and she is on the right path because she has people around her who really care about her well-being,” Rudolph said.

He would not comment further on Britney Spears, explaining, “this isn’t the time to talk business. This is a time for healing.” Good man.

They stopped talking last February after Britney sorta went bonkers and in turn blamed Larry for “forcing her” into rehab, when it he seemed he was one of the only ones in her inner circle trying to do anything to help her.

He was relieved of his duties shortly thereafter.

Rudolph did not turn his back on her, though, even remaining on the run to avoid testifying in her custody case when subpoenaed by Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Rudolph, who is not formally signed back on as Britney’s manager, is currently producing the MTV show Rock the Cradle, which debuts April 3.
