Does Britney want another baby? With K-Fed?

December 14th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

There has been talk ever since Britney Spears started to lose her mind that getting back together with Kevin Federline would be the thing to save her. And the tabloids, newspapers and magazines, have always been asking the question, ‘Will these two get back together?’ I don’t know if people just want to see parents of young kids together and happy or if there are some crazies on this planet that actually think these two are good for each other. Well Britney may be good for Kevin but he is definitely not good for her! I’m convinced that the entire situation there was part of Britney’s downfall and if my ideal world is to remain ideal, these two will never find a way back to each other.

So I can’t imagine why either of these two would think that having another child was a good idea. Not only do the two boys they already have need a lot of time in a stable and consistent environment right now more than ever, but Britney is just beginning to get her health back…it hasn’t even been a year yet for crying out loud! However, the National Enquirer, which has proven to be an accurate celebrity source lately, has this to say,

“Britney Spears wants a baby - with her ex-husband Kevin Federline! And Britney is so determined to have another child that she’s told Kevin if he doesn’t give her one, she’ll have one with someone else, sources say. “The last thing Kevin wants to see is Britney hook up with some guy and have another baby,” revealed a close source. Britney now pays Kevin $40,000 a month to support him and their two boys.

The 27-year-old pop singer said repeatedly that she wants more children. In her recent MTV documentary “Britney: For the Record,” she declared that she intends to be married and have more babies next year.

But while Britney feels she’s ready to give the couple’s two sons Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, a sibling, Kevin isn’t so sure, said the source. “He’s hoping her career comeback and her upcoming U.S. tour won’t allow her the time to start a family again anytime soon,” said the source.”

See, this story also just proves that Federline has got no balls whatsoever. He’s not even married to the woman anymore and he can’t just say to her, ‘I’m not giving you any more children.’ No, he has to ‘hope’ that her career takes off so fast again that she doesn’t have time to think about it. Well, if that’s his strategy, it just might work for him. Britney’s latest album, Circus, which was released on December 2, was the 5th number one selling album for Brit.

It’s Britney, Bitches

November 28th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline, Lynne Spears, Madonna

Britney, Britney, Britney. If you’re sick of hearing it now, there’s much more to come. December is going to be a big month for Ms. Spears. Not only does she appear on the cover of Rolling Stone for the month but her newest album, Circus, is due out December 2, which is also her 27th birthday. As always in the midst of promotion, things are said and done that we are all then left to tear apart and something is always to become a great scandal. Well if that’s the way things have been in the past, especially for dear Britney, they’re about to get really crazy and already have some of the closest people in her life have been speaking out about what she’s said and done - because you just know they have to get their two cents in!

The first thing that popped up, seemingly from out of nowhere, was an interview that Britney’s mom gave via satellite with a UK-based television station. It seems that Lynne Spears always makes her presence known, whether we want it or not. This is what People had on the interview,

“And while the singer still hasn’t regained custody of her two sons, Lynne had nothing but praise for her daughter’s parenting skills.

“Oh she’s a wonderful mother – she’s funny, she’s extremely affectionate,” said the Spears matriarch, who was promoting her memoir, Through the Storm. “[At] home, where there’s nobody around, she’s very normal.”

“I think Britney’s just ready to get started again,” said her mom. “I think this is when she’s most in her element.”

Translation: I’m so glad that my daughter’s getting better so that I can start pressuring her to make money again. I also love how she says that at home ‘with nobody around’, Britney’s very normal. That’s just what I’ve always wanted my mother to say about me.

Then the next person in Britney’s life who’s always wanted to make a buck off her name comes forward, all hurt and upset about what big, bad Brit has done now. Yes, it’s Kevin Federline and he is none too happy about his ex-wife’s words in her upcoming documentary, For the Record, where she claims that she got married for all the wrong reasons and did it for ‘the idea of everything.’ This is what Pop Crunch had to say on the interview with Britney’s ex-husband,

“Friends say Federline is taken aback that Britney “felt the need to tell people that she viewed their marriage as a mistake,” confidante of Kevin’s has revealed to In Touch Weekly.

Kevin is also miffed his former flame implied that the couples two sons were mistakes as well.

“How will that make the boys feel when they’re older. Kevin thinks it’s pathetic and hurtful for no reason.”

Translation:Federline’s a big baby and in his eyes, Britney is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. It seems in the tidbits we’ve seen so far from the documentary, that Brit is finally being honest about why she’s done the things she’s done and, I also don’t think there’s any need to imply that she said the boys were a mistake. There are many divorced parents that regret the marriage but don’t regret the kids. Get over yourself!

And then there’s Britney’s latest move, which is very concerning to me. Last night she appeared on-stage at the 2008 Bambi Awards, where she performed her newest single Womanizer (and kicked butt, too, if you can catch the video!) What worries me is that she performed wearing an outfit nearly identical to an outfit that Madonna has recently worn on her Sticky & Sweet tour. Not only does this worry me because I find Madge loathesome but also because if Brit is still worshipping her, she’s getting dangerously close to the ‘kissing a woman on-stage, about to lose my mind’ Britney that we all know all too well.

Britney’s Kids Swear and it’s not her Fault!

November 25th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

Aw shoot! Britney Spears had come such a long way that I was really rooting for her to keep proving everyone wrong and showing that she could be a normal person. She recently though, gave an interview with USA Today and while what she says isn’t ‘over-the-cuckoo’s-nest’ kind of stuff, it definitely isn’t the most mature thing that she’s ever said either. She spends some time talking about dating and then starts talking about how much she loves her kids. Okay, cute. And awesome, since ya know, she’s their mom. But then she starts talkign about how Sean swears but it’s not her fault because she doesn’t swear around him. Okay, are we back in grade five pointing fingers at who started it? From Celebitchy,

“She turns serious on the topic of her children. Despite losing custody of her sons, Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, to her ex-husband Kevin Federline, Spears has been able to see them more often, thanks in part to the conservatorship.

“Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they’re such special people,” she says.

She is critical of her ex and says the children “are starting to learn words like ’stupid,’ and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn’t get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids.”

I won’t even mention the fact that she most likely does drop the F-bomb around her kids once in a while. Because if you say it, they’re gonna catch you saying it at some point. But I have no idea what benefit this has to her to bring all of this up. Is she really just being juvenile or is she trying to show us that although she’s had her fair dose of crazy, her ex isn’t exactly up for sainthood either. Either way, I know that she’s doing crazy promotion right now with her documentary out on Sunday and her new album out on December 2 but this is a tidbit that she could have kept to herself. Although I think K-Fed is loathesome, I don’t think these remarks, blaming their child’s bad behaviour solely on him and using such a public platform, it’s just completely unecessary.

Sneak Peeks from Brit’s Documentary

November 21st, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline

Britney Spears has a lot of things to say and she has created her own documentary, For the Record, to do just that. When it first came out that she was releasing the film, Britney said that she wanted to set a lot of things straight that had been said about her and she wanted people to really know what happened before everything went to hell in a handbasket for her. And she’s doing just that. As time draws closer to the documentary’s November 30th air date, more and more excerpts are being spilled that viewers can expect to see. Britney not only talks about her mental breakdown but also about how her split from Justin ‘devastated’ her and how she ‘married for the wrong reasons.’ The Daily Blabber has pieces of Justin-talk,

“With Justin, he was part of the magnitude of what I had become. So when he was gone I was like, What am I supposed to do with myself? I was devastated [by the breakup] but I handled it a lot better than the [split] with Kevin….He started to do an album for himself and he started to do things for himself, and I just never saw him anymore….When it ended I felt so alone. I didn’t really wanna think about the reality of it. I never faced it….I just ran.”

The Daily Blabber also has a clip, which you can see here, where Britney discusses her marriage and where you can also see her working on her hot single Womanizer in the studio. I can’t wait to pop some corn and sit in front of the tube next Sunday to see all that Britney has to reveal!

This is weird, right?

November 12th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

So after the son, Jayden James, of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline was admitted into the hospital after suffering from an allergic reaction, he was released shortly after and there was talk that his father, K-Fed, was going to be flying to Louisiana to be with his sons and ex-wife, Britney. It turns out though that upon hearing of his son’s release, he decided it wasn’t worth the trip after all and stayed right where he was. He did however, get his lawyer to issue a statement about the whole ordeal. Okay, so that’s weird.

It’s weird because, Federline wasn’t even there! He had no way of knowing what was said, what treatments were given to his son - because he wasn’t there. So he was going on what Britney, the child’s mother, was telling him. So I would think that if anybody should be releasing a statement, it should be Britney, or her lawyer. Seeing as how she was there and all. Not only that but this statement from Federline’s lawyer makes it sound as though Britney and her family should be thankful that no one will be looking into the matter any further. I know a lot of stuff has been Britney’s fault but I certainly don’t think this was. This is the statement from Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“I think that whatever it is, a food allergy or some other case, we don’t know yet,” Kaplan told E!. “We’re pleased that someone was aware enough to see that he was having some sort of reaction and do what was necessary to make sure there were no chances taken and got Jayden to the appropriate facility and got the appropriate evaluation to be timely.”

“We’re not going to jump to conclusions right now. I don’t anticipate there being a hearing,” Kaplan said. “I anticipate that Kevin and Britney as concerned parents will exchange information and satisfy themselves that what happened was a freak occurrence and do what they have to do to make sure that it doesn’t happen again.”

“Kevin was considering going to Louisiana, but the information that we had was Jayden was already checked out,” Kaplan explained. “The kids will be back with Kevin shortly, not yet.”

So this whole entire thing seems weird to me, right from the beginning of the statement where it sounds as though Kaplan is talking so coldly about the fact that the boy’s family, including his mother, was there and saw it all happening and that they were able to ‘do what was necessary.’ I don’t understand why this statement was necessary and I think it makes Federline look like a bigger idiot than he already was.

Britney’s Son Visits Hospital on Trip Home

November 10th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

Britney Spears arrived in Louisiana on Friday with her dad, brother, and two sons. It was a big trip as it would be the entire Spears clan reunited, even with all the babies, including the newest, Maddie Briann. Britney was said to be especially excited as the trip home was the first for her with the boys and the first time ever taking them out of state of California since she lost custody. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the very worst as Britney faced every parent’s nightmare - watching your child suffer a horrible allergic reaction that could quickly turn tragic. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“Jayden apparently suffered a “a terrible allergic reaction. He had hives, was itchy and irritable,” and although they do not know what caused the reaction, he is now “fine.” Jayden entered a Kentwood, Louisiana hospital at 1:30 PM Sunday and was kept overnight for observation, and is, according to Britney’s official website, expected to be released tomorrow,

“Jayden James Federline was admitted to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center on Sunday, November 9th. Doctors concluded he had a reaction to something he ingested. He is expected to be discharged tomorrow.”

Entertainment Tonight has confirmed that Britney Spears‘ 2-year-old son Jayden James was rushed to the hospital on Sunday afternoon, after suffering from a “suspected seizure.”

Britney’s youngest son reportedly lapsed into a “vague and unresponsive” state while the family vacationed in Kentwood, Louisiana. Jayden was kept overnight for observation. Jayden’s dad, Kevin Federline, is reportedly on the way to Louisiana.”

I’m glad that it sounds as though Jayden James is going to be fine but I can’t help but think back to a few months ago when this same little boy was suspected to be affected with the neurological disorder autism. Reports then were that he would be tested but nothing more was ever said publicly. And it sounds like in this case, very little is being said as well and with the few facts we have been given, I don’t think it’s a far stretch to connect it to the autism story, if in fact it’s true that there was a suspicion there to begin with. Hopefully Jayden James will be discharged today with a stamp of approval from doctors and nothing more will come of this.

On the lighter side of things, is it possible that this bad situation that has pushed Britney and K-Fed back together once again, will actually further the reunion rumors and see these two getting back together?

K Fed and Britney Try to Work it Out

September 25th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

So I am not at all sure what to think about this story. Rumors started last week that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were trying to patch things up and get back together now that Britney seems to be on the road to recovery and Kevin has played such an active role in her and the boys’ life really ever since they got married. Now there is talk that they are going to couple’s therapy but the source is the National Enquirer, which I always tend to doubt anyway and it’s an unnamed source, making it a sort of double whammy in my books. BUT this is not the first time I have heard about the two trying to reconcile and so I’m tempted to start believing this story. From Pop Crunch,

“Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are desperately trying to salvage their relationship with the help of couples’ therapy, The National Enquirer claims. The divorced parents of sons Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, believe being raised by them both is what’s best for their boys.

“Kevin still loves Britney, too-and if all goes well after six months of counseling, they’ll move in together with the boys.”

A Britney pal tells The Enquirer: “Britney is on board because she’ll do anything to have her boys back full-time…Part of their therapy involves going on ‘formal dates,’ and Britney is so excited!”

“The new Britney is more focused, and Kevin is eager to work with her on their future. They’re both optimistic, and while they’re not talking about getting remarried right now, it’s not out of the question.”

So although this story does seem to be escalating, I still hope that this doesn’t happen and I don’t like how Britney is made out to be the complete bad guy and psycho in this story. Kevin had his share of faults as well and everyone seems to have forgotten who he was before Britney stopped being the stable one in the relationship. That being someone with very little talent that used his wife’s name to get anywhere in a music business that he so desperately wanted to break into. I’m not trying to put all the blame on him either but I just wish people would start to look at the other sides of the story behind these two before deciding that any one party is to blame.

Does K-Fed want Britney Back?

September 19th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

Well ever since rumors of their divorce started, rumors of them getting back together have been floating around but with the recovery that Britney Spears has recently made seems to have had a huge impact on Kevin Federline and apparently, he is falling in love with pop star all over again and wants his family to be reunited. From the Pop Crunch Show,

Kevin Federline has sparked rumors that wants to reignite the romance with his pop singing ex.

The former couple divorced in 2007, but that hasn’t stopped Federline from trying to put the moves back on Brit, a tabloid spy says.

“Kevin apologized to Britney for his failings as a husband and said he wanted a fresh start,” a source close to the pair reveals to Now Magazine.

“He confessed she’s the love of his life, his soul-mate and was sorry things went so wrong with them.”

Britney, who is preparing to release a new album this December, has reportedly warmed up to the idea of reconciling with her ex-husband for the sake of their sons Sean Preston,3, and Jayden James, 2.

“Getting back with Kevin could be a great move.”

“Brit never got over Kev and she hopes this is the first step towards them reconciling. She knows a lot has happened but at least she now knows he still loves her.”

I hate to say it but I really hope this doesn’t happen. I’m not usually one to hope for parents staying apart but I never think it’s a good idea to only stay together for the children either as this article seems to suggest is Britney’s motivation. I don’t know but it seemed that it was when she became heavily involved with Federline that all of her problems started, beginning with their rushed engagement and wedding. I’m glad that they remain friends and can be a united (and friendly) front with their kids but I think in this case, that’s as good as it gets. Let’s also remember that this source is unnamed and so, we can only hope that as in most anonymous cases, the story is simply not true.

Britney Scared About Autism

August 8th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Jenny McCarthy, Kevin Federline, Lance Armstrong

Britney Spears may soon be among the celebrities fighting the fight against autism as she now fears that her youngest son, Jadyen James, may be affected with the neurological disorder. Autism is a difficult disorder to diagnose because the disorder lies on such a broad spectrum and so while one person’s symptoms may be severe, another’s may go unnoticed. We should always applaud parents when they pick up on something that’s “not quite right” with their child and take measures to ensure that the child will be okay. Here’s what the Pop Crunch Show had to report on Britney’s situation,

Britney Spears fears Jayden James, the youngest of her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, may be autistic.

Compared to his big brother, Sean Preston, little Jayden “often seems to be in his own world,” family friends say.

“He plays alone a lot,”an In Touch Weekly snitch says. “Jayden often starts crying for no apparent reason,” a friend of K-Fed’s adds.

Britney and Kevin are planning to have the 1-year-old tested for the neurological disorder that affects communication skills, in addition to a host of other developmental conditions.

“Kevin wants Jayden tested to rule out any developmental problems,” a Federline insider dished to In Touch.”

Hopefully this is a case of parents just being overprotective as they should be but of course we’ll all be hoping for the best and anxiously waiting to hear what comes of the testing. Jenny McCarthy is another celebrity that is known for being very outspoken about autism as she fights the daily battle with her son, Evan. McCarthy and other celebs such as Lance Armstrong will be hosting the mega-event Ante Up for Autism, which will be a very star-studded event held in October.

Britney Spears Gives Up Custody

July 18th, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears, Kevin Federline

Now this is a story that is truly sad to hear. Britney Spears has agreed to give her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, sole custody of their two boys - Sean Preston and Jayden James. This seems to be just temporary and that Britney should be back in a shared custody agreement with K-Fed by the end of the year. From CNN,

Britney Spears has agreed to allow ex-husband Kevin Federline to retain legal custody of their two children in return for gradually increased visitation, sources close to the troubled pop star said Friday.

During Friday’s hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court, Federline also asked for and was granted increased child support as well as $250,000 for legal fees, the sources said.”

I just feel so bad for Britney after she has tried to do everything she can to get out of crazy and back into real life. Why does it seem that whenever people - people that she’s supposed to be the closest to in the entire world - are always trying to get money out of her? First her dad and now her ex-husband. I wish they could have left the arrangement as it was. It doesn’t make sense to me to do this now when she is so obviously getting her life back together.

I also don’t understand what’s so great about Federline and what makes him such a great dad? Sure he’s never shaved his head or held his kids hostage but he’s never really done anything to make me think he’s the stand-up kind of guy, “Father of the Year,” that he’s being made out to be recently.
