After a roller-coaster month of incidents, the end of the “wild” Britney Spears appears to be in sight.  Ok, so the roller-coaster is more like 1 1/2 years, but the past month has been especially brutal. 

Courts have ruled that Britney’s father, James Spears, is now her “conservator” and has full rights to make decisions on the troubled Spears’ behalf.

So what is a “conservator”, get all the details here.

It basically boils down to giving James full control of who sees Britney, including at the psych ward and her home(s).  It also gives him control over her credit cards and temporary finances, which as long as he doesn’t abuse that power, is probably in her best interest also.

A court creates conservatorships when it determines that a person cannot care for themselves or handle their affairs. Commissioner Reva Goetz said Spears would be under conservatorship until Monday, at which time another hearing would be held.

“It is in the best interests of the conservatee to have conservatorship over her person,” Goetz told a packed courtroom. - Source: Associated Press

The court ruling essentially says that Britney Spears is incapable of making decisions for herself and that her father is now legally enabled to make decisions for her.  This comes just days after police located & escorted Britney to the psych ward for holding.  There’s no doubt this was the final straw and her family simply intervened in her troubled life. 

James has wasted no time in using his newly granted powers.  He has already issued a restraining order against Britney’s manager, Sam Lutfi, who seemingly has been able to provide Spears with anything positive.  It’s unclear if James Spears has also restricted Britney’s paparazzi beau “Adnan” from seeing her, but it would probably be a good idea to based on his recent interviews, etc.

Did you see the Britney Spears Video? I thought for sure she had finally graduated to the chiva, she looked like strawberry shortcake looking for the pied piper.  Then you find out that she was SOBER! I know people with bipolar, and she was more than bipolar! That chick has lost her fricken mind every which way this side of texas!

Okay, I have no problem calling someone on their shit, but this is way out of hand.  Britney Spears has done it again, and oh my God, i actually feel sorry for the chick.  It HAS to take that much pain to drive yourself that crazy.  It’s easy to point the finger at her and judge as though we could live her life better, but damn! I couldn’t even imagine my life being scrutinized every single growing pain of the way.  How many skeletons would come out of your closet? Plus with all that money - could you imagine having everything you want, when you want it, how you want it, where you want it? All the time.. you’d seconed guess all the loyalties of everone around you, and at such a young age, in such a plastic environment, how could she turn out well adjusted, never mind normal.  And, come on, as parents we all fuck up!  We can never be the perfect parent, but we always strive to be a good parent, but it’s in our nature to fuck up.  At what point do we expect young adults to take responsibility for themselves.  It’s not as if Lynne is some mass murderer, or some tweeker hanging out at the pool hall.

I feel empathetic for Brit. This is just way beyond comical anymore, and i really don’t get my rocks off watching torchered souls fall into oblivion.

Britney Spears isn’t ugly… or so she would have you think. Unfortunately, Maxim magazine and a % of the male population are inclined to think she is.

One doesn’t have to look far to see why Maxim would put Britney on the ugliest people list:

• Shaving her head bald
• Changing hair color
• Horrible extensions

You’d think Britney could get some credit for showing her crotch so many times this year, but ugliness is typically associated w/ everything above the shoulders and Spears definitely gets an “F” this year for that.

Britney Spears was reportedly on her way to a Maxim party when she found out she made the ugliest list. Once she knew - the party was off.  She is now requesting an apology from Maxim, but unless they are planning a photo shoot to feature her in the mag anytime soon, I don’t see an apology coming.

To further make this a “bigger” story - odd considering the timing of Britney’s new CD - Spears has apparently violated some kind of court order (or court request) and is now prohibited from visiting her two kids.  K-Fed has full custody and Britney Spears can no longer visit her kids  - not even w/ supervision.

This is a sad day for Britney… that is unless she’s getting exactly what she wants. 

Updated 10/8/07
To further my point that Britney Spears lost her children on purpose (or doesn’t care), TMZ is reporting that Spears missed her court appearance last Wednesday for “Starbucks” coffee.  Here’s the scoop:

… at the very same time the former pop starlet-turned-celebrity death pool pick should have been throwing herself on the mercy of the judge by promising to comply with each and every condition he set forth, she was in the midst of a crisis, one that only a Starbucks run with her Yorkie could solve.

Granted, she wasn’t required to show up for the hearing, but insiders tell TMZ her attorney du jour, Sorrell Trope, urged her to attend. Not surprisingly, the authority-eschewing Britster reportedly refused.

“It’s like Britney doesn’t care,” a mole tells the London Sun. “Her no-show did not impress the judge and only worsens her chances of ever getting her custody restored.”

Adds a source to E! Online’s Marc Malkin, “There have been no tears. It’s more like she’s angry. It’s more like, ‘Who are you to tell me I’m not a good parent?’”

Original Story
Britney Spears custody battle took a bad turn on Monday, when the court gave sole custody of the two kids to Kevin Federline (until further notice).

While you do have to feel bad for Britney, it’s also important to think about the things she’s done (willingly) to put herself in this situation.  It’s been reported on TMZ that Britney skipped several court appointed meetings.  This is of course, in addition to all the partying and irrational behavior we’ve been seeing on the news everyday.  Don’t forget about the older incidents as well: shaving her head, showing her crotch, her lesbian love affair, and others.

Bodyguard Details Extremely Troubled (former) Star

Recent reports from her former bodyguard have provided a rare glimpse into the daily lives of Spears.  These reports just add more cause for concern; there’s nothing in them to make you think Britney actually deserves to have custody of her kids.  The bodyguard details that he’s seen Britney Spears nude (he wasn’t suppose to look), that she almost overdosed while in rehab, and that she spends very little time with her kids as it is.

Did Britney Lose Custody on Purpose?

A lot of people are questioning whether or not Spears intentionally violated the court orders in an attempt to “rid herself” of her kids.  Face it… in her line of work and while trying to make a career comeback, kids aren’t exactly a great accessory.  This is horrible thinking (no doubt), but when you’re high on cocaine, drunk all the time, or downing Red Bull’s like they’re going out of style, how you can you put together rational thoughts - like “I love my kids and I never want to be away from them”.  Maybe she wants to get rid of them just because K-Fed won’t come back to her, and she doesn’t want anything to do w/ “his” kids.

Spears is on the same path as many other troubled actors and musicians… the death path.  Losing her kids is probably the most difficult situation she’ll ever go through (assuming she actually does want them), so it wouldn’t be too surprising to hear stories of her actually overdosing or committing suicide.

Get help Britney…

Multiple reports have come out the past day or so indicating that frequent paparazzi freak Britney Spears is romantically involved w/ Mindfreak star Chris Angel.

Chris Angel’s reps contend that the two are merely working on a special VMA performance that Britney is trying to use to resurrect her music career. Having a clever performance would certainly help Britney, but it’s more likely to cause an even bigger stir and get her in more trouble w/ her custody battle.  If she does anything in the show that’s too sexual or too dirty, she will further damage her chances of retaining her kids in the custody battle w/ K-Fed.

This latest story comes after reports that Britney’s ex personal assistant Shannon Funk had a “sexual” relationship w/ Spears.  Racy photos of Funk fondling Spears’ breasts in a pool are showing up on OK! Magazine’s cover this week.

The choice to hang out w/ Chris Angel is likely her decision, but the other issues surrounding her are just sad… people are taking advantage of an already vulnerable young woman (not quite. :P)

Pics appear showing Spears getting up close and personal with a female friend as her custody battle kicks off…

Photos of Britney Spears topless in a swimming pool kissing another woman have been published.

The raunchy snaps show the Toxic singer with her former PA Shannon Funk in what The Star describes as a “red hot girl on girl session”.

Brit’s snap has been printed in the British newspaper and OK! Magazine in the States.

The troubled star- who shaved her hair off and entered rehab earlier in the year- is said to have enjoyed an ”X-rated Lesbian love in” with her mate.

   When it comes to the Lindsay and Britney type of press…Here it is people…. they’re playing us…”the public”… like  puppets…There is not a person out there that could convince me that the publications whom are telling  and printing their stories  aren’t sending them a check, for doing “dumb” stuff…  there is a lot of  money being  made off these  whores…. and  there  is only one person to blame,  and  that  is  your conscience….the  next time  you see a little bit of Britney or want to take a  little peek at  Lindsay, turn your  eye, because its you, the  consumers that  are  adding fuel to the devils engine. Keep watching; keep paying your money/time (commercials) to the devil’s devise…The Time is Cumming…..

In the latest twist of Britney Spear’s ongoing drama (her life), her new boyfriend (now ex) apparently broke up with her over the phone.  Her beau of only 1-2 months, Isaac Cohen, reportedly had enough of the “father” role while with Spears and wasn’t in the mood to continue the relationship, which from his perspective should’ve been over awhile ago.

This whole relationship stinks of a publicity stunt for Cohen, who apparently doesn’t know what a 4-yr old is like, or an infant…. and that’s just when describing Britney… what about her kids?

Seriously though, did he think that by dating a mother of two children that he’d somehow not have to be a Dad in some way, shape or form?  Hip-hopping around the country w/ Britney’s money does sound like fun, but duh!, she has 2 kids w/ your look-a-like (K-Fed) and has been caught how many times without panties/underwear?

Get a clue dude… I hope you don’t get ONE new job from your dating scam!

Britney Spears was seen in Scottsdale, AZ smoozing with Arizona Cardinals QB Matt Leinart over the weekend holiday weekend. The two were spotted at a club on Scottsdale road .

Reports vary as far as what happened at the club… everything from Britney was just saying “hi”, to Britney and Matt “grinding” on the dance floor. I think it’s safe to say that she was just saying hi, especially considering that one of her friends is pals w/ Leinart’s baby’s mama (Brynn Cameron).

Of course Britney has almost been single for 2 months now, having left K-Fed in early November.

Matt Leinart was previously dating Paris Hilton after he left USC.

In related news… Britney reportedly fell asleep only minutes after the New Year. Spears hosted a party at Ceasars Palace’s “Pure” night club, but passed out only minutes after the big moment. Her reps say that she was just tired - that she didn’t drink too much, take any drugs or anything like that.

Today’s hot stories (and from the past weekend)…

Britney Spears & Paris Hilton Lesbians? - Many pics of a panty-less Spears hanging out with Paris has led a lot of people to think that the two are “in” to each other. Hilton insists that there’s nothing to the rumors and that her and Britney are just friends. So they may be friends, but one can’t help dream

Nicole Richie Arrested for DUI - Fellow partier of Paris, Nicole Richie, was reportedly busted for a DUI early Monday morning. Nicole apparently failed a sobriety test and was taken into custody by the the highway patrol. Other motorists had called 911 reporting a car going the wrong way on the freeway… of course the description of the vehicle matched Richie’s Mercedes SUV. One celeb after another getting busted - figure out how to call a taxi moron!

Split on the O.C. -”O.C.” stars Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson have split up. The two have been slowly growing apart says a celebrity mole close to the situation. The pair supposedly broke up in November and tried to reconcile, but to no avail. This may lead to some better O.C. episodes on Fox at least…

Not too much going on, but lot’s of fun to discuss.
