Catching Up with Britney Spears

Britney Spears seems to be making a comeback and while her life is still probably considered crazy by some standards, things do seem to be working out well for the former pop queen. She’s getting ready to head out on her Circus tour in March, but she may not be alone. Custody arrangements are being worked out with her ex, Kevin Federline, so Britney will be able to have her boys join her on the road. Right now, Kevin has primary custody with Britney having 50-50 access to them in visitation rights, so Kevin is working on a schedule where … Continue reading

Jamie Lynn Spears Has a Daughter

It’s a girl for 17-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears. The teen sister of mega-meltdown queen Britney Spears gave birth to a baby girl just a few hours ago, according to news reports. Reports say Spears and her fiancé Casey Aldridge have named their new addition Maddie Briann. The baby was reportedly born in a Mississippi hospital where Britney, her father Jamie, mom Lynne and brother Bryan gathered to welcome the newest member of the family. The Zoey 101 star has been keeping a low profile since announcing her pregnancy to the world back in December. The 17-year-old actress got engaged to … Continue reading

Celebrity Milestones: Marrying and Expecting

MARRYING Actually, marri-ED would be more accurate. “American Pie” star Jason Biggs is officially off the market ladies. The actor tied the knot with actress Jenny Mollen in an extremely understated ceremony in Los Angeles last week. According to Star Magazine, the couple wed at City Hall a week ago today without a single family member or friend in attendance. The magazine reports that the pair “did not want to deal with the whole family thing because it would have been too stressful on both of them.” Rather, they went the ultra-private route, which they considered to be the “most … Continue reading

Britney Spears Sitcom Star?

Will the real Britney Spears please step forward? It’s no secret that the 26-year-old pop star is guest starring on an upcoming episode of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” but who would have imagined the response from her co-stars would be so, well, uh, positive? Apparently, the reforming pop wreck is actually acting… normal. But is it all an act? According to news reports, the singer arrived on the series’ set promptly at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and is expected back later today to finish shooting her scene. Show producers say Spears is portraying a receptionist in … Continue reading

Britney Spears—-Why is She a Free Woman?

As you likely know by now derailed pop princess Britney Spears was granted an early release from UCLA Medical Center’s psych ward last week because a court representative found “no just cause” for the hold. “No just cause?!” Apparently, the court representative doesn’t watch the news, live in Los Angeles, or read this blog. In all seriousness Spears’ early release should be a lesson to anyone who thinks that a person should be institutionalized based solely on what he or she might consider “irrational” behavior. Because according to mental health experts, getting a patient to be held involuntarily on a … Continue reading

Oops, She Did It Again! Britney Spears Recommitted to Hospital

Same sad scene different day. It was déjà vu for Los Angeles paramedics last night as they once again returned to Casa Crazy (a.k.a. Britney Spears’ mansion). According to news reports (have you turned on your TV this morning), the popwreck was strapped on a stretcher by emergency personnel and taken by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center for a 72-hour psychiatric hold. An unnamed police source told reporters: “Spears was escorted by police and is on her way to get help.” We all know by now that the 26-year-old singer has been stripped of all custody involving her two young … Continue reading

More Dirt on the Dr. Phil Fiasco

In a previous blog I mentioned that talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw is reportedly being investigated by the California Board of Psychology for practicing without a license while visiting Britney Spears’ after her latest meltdown. Well, now it appears the in your face Texan may be getting off the hook. While California authorities are mandated to investigate any time a complaint is filed (in Dr. Phil’s case a complaint was filed last week by a practicing shrink who alleges McGraw, who does not hold a license to practice psychology in California, violated doctor-patient privilege by discussing the derailed singer’s … Continue reading

Britney Fields Offer for Free Legal Aid While Her Parents Try To Have Her Committed

It’s a classic case of good news/bad news. The good news for Britney Spears is that someone actually wants to represent her in court—-for free. Now that her third (or is it her fourth) team of attorneys has petitioned the court to free them of working for the popwreck, divorce lawyer and former “The Apprentice” contestant Stacy Schneider is offering her services to Spears free of charge. Goodness knows the derailed singer could use all the help she can get (both legal and otherwise) and Schneider claims she has what it takes for Brit to regain custody of her two … Continue reading

Spears Family Slams Dr. Phil

I can’t help but think of all the guests that have appeared on Dr. Phil McGraw’s syndicated talk show and had to endure the host shouting his trademark line, “What are you thinking?” in their faces… on national TV. Today those same people are probably wondering how Dr. Phil feels to be on the other side of the firing squad. “What were you thinking?” It’s a question Britney Spears’s family is demanding Dr. Phil answer in regards to making public statements and (in their opinion) a mockery of the singer’s questionable mental state. The truth about Dr. Phil’s involvement with … Continue reading

Dr. Phil Defends Britney Ambush

Two days after being accused of ambushing Britney Spears as she prepared to leave her involuntary lockdown at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Phil McGraw hightailed it over to CBS’s “The Early Show” this morning to defend his actions. His interview just aired and frankly I was unimpressed. Despite his argument that the only reason he went to see the troubled pop star was because her parents begged him to, I still maintain the TV shrink smelled fresh meat and went in for the… TV intervention. For those of you who don’t keep tabs on the good doc, McGraw announced Saturday … Continue reading
