Britney Spears

Britney continues to reveal more about herself. The upcoming MTV documentary Britney is slowly revealing more and more unknown facts about the pop diva.

The documentary is an engrossing, 90-minute beginning at Spears’s home on the morning of the MTV Video Music Awards. The first shot showcases the star with her tank-top-clad dad, Jamie, in the kitchen preparing for his daughter some cheese grits (with Velveeta).

Her manager, Larry Rudolph, glorifies it as “the official beginning of the comeback” for the star. Although Spears says she doesn’t approves of the word “comeback”, but at the same time she admits, “I had totally lost my way, lost focus, lost myself”.

For Britney it was her loneliness that led to wrong choices. The pop star also explains why she allowed the camera crew to follow her and added, “I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. … There’s a lot that people don’t know about me”. The documentary will premiere on MTV Sunday, November 30th,  two days prior to the release of her new CD, Circus.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears says that dancing takes away all her blues and she finds therapeutic solace.

The ‘Womanizer’ singer, who suffered a public meltdown and was hospitalised twice earlier this year, has revealed that throwing herself into work has helped her get her life back on track. Britney said that she worked hard and practised more and more to stay busy and that healed her a lot. Dancing was like therapy to her.

She said: “Everybody has a world that they create around themselves. If I have a lot of nervous energy, when I start dancing it goes away and I just feel emotion. It’s like a roller coaster…”

“People think that if you go through something in your life you need to go to therapy, but for me art is therapy because you are expressing yourself in such a spiritual way.” …Sometimes it’s an emotion that you need to feel when you dance, that you touch on and the only way you can touch it is if you move a certain way…”

The 26-year-old pop star who is setting up her career re-run and is getting ready for her world tour to promote her new album ‘Circus’ next year also admits she struggles to speak to her loved ones about her problems. Britney who had had her share of experiences bad and good, has shown great grit to bring back her life in shape. She and her fans had hoped about this day long ago. She started off her re-run with great grit, bagging everal awards at the VMAs and EMAs. We could only hope this gets better and better.

She added in a promo for her TV documentary ‘Britney: For the Record’: “Sometimes you don’t need to use words to go through what you need to go through. Sometimes it’s an emotion that you need to feel when you dance, that you touch on and the only way you can touch it is if you move a certain way.”

K-Fed And Britney

Britney Spears, the popular pop star, has continued with her recent trend of speaking about her personal life in public. It has been reported that she has admitted that marrying dancer Kevin Federline was a mistake of her life.

Britney Spears, the 26 year old pop singer, has two kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James with Federline. The singer is now repenting over her decision to marry K-Fed and wishes she had never walked down the aisle with the former backing dancer.

Britney said in a promo for her new TV documentary “Britney”, “I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything”.

The singer also feels that her separation from Federline has influenced her music. She added, “Your music is a reflection of what you’re going through. It’s such a part of me, the record, because of what I’ve gone through”.

Britney married Federline in September 2004 and split in summer 2006. They were finally divorced in July 2007.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears admitted that her new and controlled life is worse than life in prison. She also feels that life would have been easier to live in a cell. Her new life is “like Groundhog Day”. The much troubled star was tearfully open about her life post breakdown, in a new documentary.

Britney has come out of hellish life. She has taken awards and stunned her bedazzled fans with her rise. She also said how her entire life was dedicated to freedom. She always wanted to be free and her present status is making things worse for her “freedom” to live her life on her terms. She said : “If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I’m having to pay for a long time…I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free.”

The stunning 26 year old pop beauty feels that people only needed to payback when they did something wrong in their work but she felt that she was suffering for a long time and her paying back seems like an “endless” thing.
Britney who is to perform on X Factor next weekend, believes that she was being payed back for her public meltdown when she shaved her head and lost custody of her two sons. The paying was still going on which reflects in her “controlled” life, Britney feels.

She added in the end : “I think I’ve learnt my lesson now and enough is enough.”

The singer raced her son to a Mississippi hospital’s emergency ward after he passed “into a vague and unresponsive state”.

The child suffered a “terrible allergic reaction. He had hives, was itchy and irritable”, a close source mentioned to the People.com. It has also been reported by Britain’s MailOnline that, “One minute Britney and her sons were relaxing and enjoying their first visit to Kentwood in months, and the next minute Jayden had fallen ill.

Jayden was admitted to the hospital on Sunday at  1:30pm. Britney stayed awake throughout the night and remained at his bedside. Doctors have reported today that Jayden “is doing fine”, and is expected to be discharged from hospital today. “Jayden James Federline was admitted to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Centre on Sunday, November 9th.

Christina Aguilera

It seems that Christina Aguilera has buried the cold war she had with her long time competitor pop diva  Britney Spears. But this doesn’t mean that she would go all crazy, throw her arms around and offer warm hugs to the pop star. Christina Aguilera has only started to reveal her true feelings for Brit. While Xtina is trying to behave like a perfect diplomat, it is very clear through her comments that at the same time she doesn’t want to be  bolted down in the same graph as her  contemporary pop star.

“We don’t keep closely in touch with one another and it’s obvious how our lives have taken on two different directions”, Christina told the Daily Mail when asked about Britney. She also added, “I don’t pass any judgement on what she does. I always wish her all the best”.

Britney Spears

In the past Christina – Britney rivalry was all about who was more popular or successful or hotter. And now after Christina spoke publicly about Britney she seems to have disassociated herself from the latter.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears have regained her platform. She is all set to rebuild her lost field and touch. Besides her professional status the pop star seems prepared to get hold of her family life and take care of her future. She wants to get back the custody of her kids. After a remarkable recovery in the music arena, Britney will have to wait for the behind the scenes recovery as well.

The Los Angeles Superior Court has ruled that Britney Spears is to be guided by her father on a long term basis. All her business affairs and assets, estates will be under her father Jamie’s custody. The order comes in light  because the pop star’s lawyers had appealed to the Superior Court for temporary co-conservatorship (which was due to end on Dec. 31). The ruling has ended the court case under Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Riva Goetz’s guidance. She granted the temporary request into a permanent one until Britney recovers from her mental degeneration. The order will remain in tact until the 26-year-old has made a full and stable recovery. Britney’s lawyers and the entire legal team feels that the court episode and the co-conservatorship could well increase her chances of regaining custody of her sons as the family commissioner will feel appeased to know that Spears is taken good care of.

“The conservatorship is necessary and appropriate for the complexity of financial and business entities and her being susceptible to undue influence,” Goetz said. Spears’s mental health will be under close scrutiny and this will be performed by a team of experts. The state of law will eagerly wait for her full and stable status. Spears’s attorneys have refused to comment further on the ongoing case and the present status or anything about her current condition and her feeling at a time when she is under status change.

Britney Spears has started off on her fast track second phase of her singing career. She is getting a strong hold wherever she is setting her eyes.

Presently her musical comeback is seeing a boost up with her new single,”Womanizer” from her yet to release album becoming a huge hit already. “Womanizer” broke all records jumping at the top spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart on Wednesday. This at last is a great news. A long battle was fought by the superstar pop diva who was surviving on personal woes and several other things that made negative news.

Her life was miserably low when she turned around to set things right. The 3 MTV VM Awards set the stage and there seems no looking back for Britney.

Her new album which is slated to release on December 2, will feature on her upcoming tour, the first since she went into oblivion in 2004.

Billboard said that her new single has jumped straight from No.96 to No.1 in the past week. Her “Womanizer” is also listed No. 1 on iTunes charts in Canada, France, Spain and Sweden.

Billboard reasons the sudden leap as the result of the rise in first-week download sales of 286,000 which Billboard feels, is the biggest opening week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003.

The release of the song would definitely go on to settle things as the album release and its future would be determined by the popularity of the singles, much before the album actually releases officially.

charts were released to support her upcoming tour in 2009 and her album “Circus” which is to be released in December.

Spears who had hit the wrong end of the media by fending off paparazzi with an umbrella,shaving her head,sex tape scare, custody battles of her son and several other news, is on the mending road. A 90-minute documentary is to be aired on MTV on November 30 to gain public support and popularity. Britney’s 2007 song “Piece of Me” won three awards at the MTV video music awards.

We should remember Spears’ outstanding contribution in music and teen stardom. She was one of the top ranking superstars in the list of the best-selling international artists of the last decade with sales of more than 62 million albums which is surely to be regarded as an achievement at such an early age like hers.

Surprisingly enough Britney’s battle with K-Fed ended in a settlement with no fanfare at all. It seems that both of them were tired of the custody proceedings that have been raging for almost a year now. The settlement that had been speculated for months was finally reached on Friday. According to sources close to the singer, Britney is to pay her husband $20,000 in Child Support every month. This settlement comes with Federline retaining sole custody of the couple’s two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. This is an increase from the amount that Spears used to pay earlier, which was $15,000 in child support.

This ends a long and tumultuous experience that both have had to go through trying to get full custody of the kids.Problems started when Britney filed for divorce from her husband in November 2006. With the popstars behavior going from bad to worse in the ensuing months the future of the kids hung in the balance with none of the individuals conceding any ground.The estranged couple have been trying to come to a settlement over the kids from the time that Spears filed for a divorce in November 2006. Mark Vincent Kaplan, Federline’s lawyer in this case also demanded and received an amount of $250,000 for his work on the case.According to the settlement the popstar formally gets increased visitation with her kids twice a week along with an overnight stay. She can get an additional overnight with the kids if Britney can keep upto her good behavior and nothing is amiss in the next few months.

Now here we go for another custody battle again. However there will be no battle this time…. for a change! Kevin and Britney are calling it quits already. They want to settle the issue as fast as possible and do things the way that’s best for the kids. The custody trial proceedings that are supposed to start from next month is headed for a settlement according to the lawyers of both parties.

Experts who are following the trial suggest that Britney should not go in for a trial if she is intelligent enough. She has the risk of losing what she has right now. If she is lucky she might get more time with her kids. The routine custody hearing that is scheduled for today will be attended by both who are parents to two and a half year old Preston and one and a half year old Jayden James. Things have been a little difficult for the pop star since she herself is under conservatorship. However there are chances of her winning some more time with her kids when her condition gets a little stable. She lost all visitation rights with her kids on February after she had locked herself up with one of them and refused to give them over. This incident resulted in her forced hospitalization at Cedars-Senai Medical Center and she had then been put on her father’s legal control. On the 31st of this month the court will decide whether to extend her conservatorship or not. The popstar has been gradually making some headway into what has remained of her career. With some new projects in line and a Madonna video that is to come out Britney is sure to make a comeback. However whether she would be successful or not remains to be seen.

Lynne Spears came over this week to be with her children. They were out shopping and also had a nice outing with each other. Mom and Britney also spent some quality time with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.  On Friday Britney was spotted with her mother out on a shopping spree at Pottery Barn and later at True Religion warehouse. They were then seen at the Bond St. restaurant having a nice time along with two other girlfriends of the pop star.

She seemed to be in a good mood and was laughing the whole time she was in the restaurant according to the staff present. This seems to be a good time for the “Give Me More” star after filming a top-secret music video for Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour. No news is good news on the custody battle front too. The lawyers on both sides are supposed to meet next month for the custody proceedings but it looks like they are trying to work reach a settlement.
