A miracle happened. Britney showed up to her hearing today, asking for visitation in a "therapeutic setting".
A) were shocked she showed up
B) were shocked she's attempting to pretend to care about her kids
C) Alas, she hasn't turned a new leaf. She's just Britney being Britney.. TMZ reports that when she was called, she was in the building, but never made it to the courtroom.
When the Commish asked her attorney if she was coming back, she answered "I don't know whether she'll be here or not," adding, "I don't want to delay the hearing."
K-Fed was sworn in and the media were cleared from the courtroom.
Her lawyers want to restore visitation, understanding that she has some mental issues, thus the use of "therapeutic setting".
Good job on the language lawyers... aren't they fired?
Well again, K-Fed, by default becomes father of the year.
Brit just can't seem to muster up even a pretend to give a rat's ass about her boys, although she was encouraged by her non-lawyers to make an appearance. Today is considered her last chance to get any custody back if she doesn't show.
A group of LAPD officers, firefighters and paramedics who were on scene at Brit's house during her breakdown, did however show up and expected to testify today. A male LAPD officer, who was one of the first responders to Brit's house that night, just finished testifying.
She's probably at home having tea practicing her new British personality.
Adnan Ghalib, the new pap boyfriend turns out to be an enabler, just like the rest. Can this poor woman get anyone around her to give a shit about her? Is she so powerful that not a soul will challenge her ass?
I hope she doesn't show. Those poor kids need to be free of that dangerous witch. She doesn't deserve children.

Britney didn't make it to court today for her depo. She was sick with anxiety, Sam Lutfi tells Ok! Magazine that "she's very sick with high anxiety." Brit's attorneys showed up to the deposition on time, apparently expecting their client to follow! She finally called in "sick" about an hour later.
TMZ reports that her house was swarmed with paparazzi when she looked out the window and she probably caught the swarm of people outside of the court house awaiting her arrival that was being streamed live on TMZ's site.
Mark Kaplan is pissed! This is her third time to cancel this court appointed deposition. With that in mind, K-Fed's attorney tells OK!, "I may exercise my right to ask the court for relief," meaning he might request that the judge to yank her visitation rights! Currently her visitation is still 2 daytime visits per week and one over night visit.
Britney just can't stop being a paparazzi star long enough to be a mama. Why not get a good night's sleep, hire a driver to pick her up in the morning and get to court house early to avoid the craziness that ensues when she drives herself... just like she likes it!
Would They Throw the Book at her Already!
Father of the year? Details magazine writes a very kind article about the unemployed, power playing K-fed.
Kevin Federline found himself in the “Power & Influence” issue of Details, where he ranked No. 7 on the magazine’s list of 50 “power players.”
Though Spears is not mentioned, Federline, 29, talks about his role in the lives of their sons Sean, 2, and Jayden, 14 months.
“To be a father is ... everything. It shows me how little I am,” he says, adding that he has enjoyed watching G-rated programming like SpongeBob SquarePants and Finding Nemo.
“I’m still trying to decide which one I like more,” he says.
The doting dad even impressed magazine staffers at the Steven Klein photo shoot at Federline’s home in Tarzana, California.
“Here is the person who people think of as this universal joke, who has oddly emerged as father of the year,” Details editor in chief Dan Peres tells Us. “The kids would go running to him and were very warm and very well behaved.”
Father of the year? Details, you're too kind.Lest not forget... this guy reports annual earnings of $0 dollars a year! He's nothing more than a purse lamprey. This guy got his suckers on Britney's wallet and is still sucking the hell out it.
Britney pays him $15,000 in child support and $20,000 in spousal support per month, and has nannies taking care of the boys. He should be "warm" to the boys, those little fellows set this guy up.
After the judge declared on Friday, that Brit was unfit to drive her children around any longer, she got a chauffeur to take she and the boys to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.
She may also be wising up, I doubt it, but her attorney says, that Brit is taking "security measures" to protect her children. Now what neuron fired off her mothering gene?
"Recent aggressive actions by individuals who have followed (Spears) and blocked her access, with and without the children, have resulted in her decision to take certain security measures which she hopes will only be necessary temporarily, for the protection of the children," Sorrell Trope said in a statement Monday.
Trope was not specific about the "measures" that would be taken, but I'm guessing she's being urged to stay out of the spotlight. At least, not make every trip to the coffee shop an adventure, where she's sending idiots to the hospital, willing to be hit by her car for a shot of her.
"Ms. Spears hopes that she and Mr. Federline will be able to reach an agreement as to all matters concerning their children," Trope said. "She hopes that by not commenting on court proceedings the media attention in those proceedings will subside, which she requests for the safety and well being of the children", PEOPLE magazine reports.
It's also rumored that Brit is ready to bust Kevin. She has said that, while they were married, Kevin used to smoke marijuana and drink in front of their children... that's a given. Since she has had the paps following her, filming every mistake, she has now hired a private investigator to follow him. The tables have turned Charlie Murphy!
Now this is a custody battle worth following! Dig that dirt!
The lawyers for the Beverly Hillbilly's met today in court to discuss Britney's failure to adhere to the court ordered drug tests.
People reports: Britney has missed 3 of the random drug and alcohol tests that she is currently required to submit twice-weekly. She is supposed to give a urine sample within six hours of being called, however her phone number continues to change because, "her number often falls into the wrong hands".
K-Fed's lawyer describes Brit's above-the-law attitude as living in a "parallel universe" for being unreachable by phone.
Anne Kiley, Brit's lawyer calls the procedure "unconstitutional" and that she's tested clean on 10 occasions. As long as she provides her urine sample within six hours of being called, she feels it should be sufficient and is trying to push Kaplan for an agreement.
Spears's lawyer, Anne Kiley, called the current drug testing procedure "unconstitutional," adding that just because the singer may fail to respond to testing calls doesn't mean she's using drugs. Kiley stated that Spears tested clean on 10 occasions.
When Commissioner Gordon stated that responding to a morning call wasn't an extreme request, Kiley shot back: "But you're not a pop star with a No. 1 album to promote."
Stop there, we all know that album fell into no. 2, but that's not the funny part. Any artist that's not "living in a parallel universe" any where in the top 100 Billboard chart would be busy working their ass off promoting their album. Mark Kaplan has a point! How is this phenomenon happening?
Lawyers for both sides were unable to agree on new testing rules, but are to inform Commissioner Gordon by Tuesday if they've reached a decision.
Oh an one more thing, "Just because Ms. Spears is unable to return a call within one hour doesn't reflect what kind of mother she is," Kiley told reporters after the hearing. "It's a nonsensical procedure. She could be in a movie or traveling. What matters is that she provides a sample within six hours and that she tests negative."
Contraire mofrair, It does mean she's a bad mother if she misses her court ordered drug tests!! Where's the self respect, Mom? Why not be a mother to your children and put all of this nonsense to rest!!
If the woman would do anything, show any normal amount of interest in her children, she could sink Federline, but too bad; she's a BAD MOTHER living in a parallel universe!!!
K-Feds lawyers made a request to the court that the falling pop star, Britney Spears, pick up the bill for Kevin's legal costs in their ongoing custody battle. So basically, his lawyers want to make sure they get paid, after turning in the startling reminder, $0 income.
The judge agreed, of course, and issued the order for Britney to pay $120,000 in legal charges.
Currently Britney pays Kevin $20,000 a month in spousal support since she's rich and he's broke. That's $240,000 per year... that should be substantial, but why not gouge Brit for all they can!
According to her divorce paper just unsealed Here is the breakdown of Britney Spears' and Kevin Federline's Expenses, Britney reported that she earns $737,868 a month, while Federline reported he earns a whopping nothing (Hey Kev, it's called pride, look it up) Britney agreed to pay Kevin $20,000 a month in spousal support and $15,000 a month in child support... wtf???
I really don't get the whole spousal support thing and why the heck is it more than the child support... so she is more responsible for the support of this piece-of-trash, hillbilly, loser than her own kids? Oh well, without further ado, here's the breakdown:
Britney's Expenses:
$102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation
$49,267 on mortgage payments
$16,000 on clothes
$10,000 on utility bills
$6,000 on childcare
$4,758 on eating out
$2,500 on phone bills
Kevin's Expenses:
$5,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation
$7,500 on rent
$2,000 on clothes
$1,500 on eating out
$750 on phone bills
Us Magazine has a story coming out about Brit's life during her breakup with Kevin. Kalie Machado, 23, was her personal assistant at that time. She's got the dirt on the craziness that ensued, during 3 months of the breakup and the antics she pulled trying to win K-Fed back.
Machado reveals, "She wanted so badly to have the father of her babies. When Britney thought about Kevin not wanting her, she would bawl,"She would look at Sean and Jayden and say, 'Where's your daddy? I need help. Where's your daddy?'
The article comes out next week.
Kevin Federline's current "lover", former Playboy model and dirtbag Nicole Narain spoke to News Of The World to cash on on her two cents.. and had plenty of like, things to say, like, about, the way Britney raises the kids, you know what I mean?, and like the way Kevin has like a really, like loving home.
She tells News of the World that Kevin has revealed to her why he left Britney, so now she's gonna share some secrets with us. While Brit was drunk from Vodka and Coke, she began nursing Jayden James. K-Fed told her that if she was going to drink, she should feed him bottle milk, but Brit treated him like one of her employees, warning him not to correct her.
Also, Brit tried to steal a kiss from loose lipped Nicole, in a bathroom stall while at a club. Nicole says that she turned Brit's advances down, but of course this is the same pile of sh** that made a sex tape with Collin Farrell and is dating K-Fed, so I'm not making any bets on her word.
She also says that Kevin fears for the lives of little Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, as Brit leaves them unattended by the pool. He lives in fear that she will, one day, kill herself and or harm the boys.
I have no doubt that Britney exercises some wreckless parenting, but I'd like to hear the info straight from the horses mouth.
Check out the full story here.
Britney Spears arrived at the Los Angeles Superior Court 10 minutes early in the Pumpkin Mobile. She pulled cousin Alli Sims out for a cameo, along with Brit's favorite pair of dirty cowboys boots. She again, wore her sunglasses and was fashioned in a somewhat appropriate- for-court-dress, one we haven't seen before.
In ring number two, showing up 5 minutes later, in a black BMW SUV, weighing in a 155 lbs, current primary custody holder champion of the month, was Mr. Kevin "K-Fed" Federline.
The two were in a 3 hour session with Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon, after having received a poor report from Brit's parenting coach, who was also in attendance for questioning.
During the 3 hour session, Brit dismissed herself on 3 separate occasions to the restroom. Even pulling off mini wardrobe changes during her breaks. Once returning with a top ponytail, another a change from black sunglasses to a pair of brown Chanel's.
Commissioner Gordon did not make a ruling today. Mark Vincent, Federline's attorney said that they expect a written ruling Monday or Tuesday.
Brit is asking for 50/50 joint custody, which sounds like a mother that does not want her children, even a little bit. Currently, under the orders, she is allowed to visit the children at Kevin's home with the parenting coach, but it doesn't appear to be something she's interested in doing.
Although one of Brit's lawyers' said that they are very pleased, alluding that something has changed in her favor, she remained very distraught throughout the process, sobbing and crying. When asked by an Extra reporter, how she was doing, during one of her bathroom breaks, she replied, "Eat it, lick it, snort it, f--k it!" Then she returned to the courtroom and said, "I'm Britney Bitch". Just kidding, she didn't actually say the, "I'm Britney Bitch" part. She just returned to her natural state of bawling.

My my, it looks like someone was finally able comply with court orders and provide the appropriate contact information.
People is reporting that the good mother has regained visitation rights of her two boys Sean P., 2, and Jayden James, 1. The family, with court-appointed monitor in tow, was seen today cruising around in the pumpkin mobile in Studio City.
The next hearing is on Oct. 26, which, both Britney and Kevin, are still required to attend.
Britney finally shows in court. TMZ reports that she left the courtroom 3:17 pm, "teary-eyed and visibly upset".
Her lawyer is pleading for monitored overnight visitation. Commissioner Scott Gordon, partially accepted with monitored overnight visits. The parties have not reached an agreement on choosing a different monitor, other than the one that is currently in place.
Britney was sworn in and did testify, but no word on what she said.
It is reported that she left the court room teary-eyed and visibly upset.
A court spokesman said today was the result of a compromise between the two sides -- Brit wanted more, K-Fed didn't want her to have any overnights.
K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said after the hearing that he met with Brit's lawyers during the lunch hour. The attorneys told the court that they all agreed to "slightly increase" Brit's visitation. In other words, K-Fed agreed to give Brit a break, and a chance. I don't know why, it's not like she's earned it!
Kaplan said protections were in place for the kids.

A mega-popstar loses out to a wannabe rapper! Britney would probably do everything she could to beat out Kevin, if the two were battling for the number one spot, on the charts. So why didn't she follow L.A. Superior Court's, Judge Gordon's orders, when he laid down the law? Britney was ordered to attend parenting classes, random drug tests, and get a damn California drivers license last week. While Brit's song "Gimme More" is finally topping charts, she's losing the opportunity of a lifetime. Poor Britney is so blinded by the flashing bulbs that she can't see her own demise. On Monday, the judge ordered that Brit turn over physical custody of her two boys, 2 yr. old Sean Preston and 1 yr. old Jayden James, to Kevin Federline. I have to ask how a girl, that has the world at her disposal, manages to lose custody of her most valuable possessions? To be young, healthy and one of the richest woman in the world seems like the perfect combination to offer your children the finest possible life. The luxury of staying home with them, traveling with them, making their meals, reading stories, foreign language tutors, nutritionists to prepare menus, the best clothes, the softest sheets, swimming lessons, villas in Italy...... why? why? Why not just retire from the spotlight and enjoy the experience of being a parent? Moreover, how do you lose physical custody of your children to likes of a wannabe rapper, who's only claim to fame is YOU!? While there is no replacement for the comfort of a mother, we can only hope that this was a wise decision on the judges part and Kevin will take the honor of raising their children seriously. Oh Britney, I beg thee to get it together!
