FameCrawler : Commissioner Scott Gordon

Hello! Britney Spears is Allowed to Phone Her Kids

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:05:00 GMT

According to court documents released on Monday, Britney Spears is allowed to talk to her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 on the telephone but is still not allowed to see them. Contrary to rumor, that decision had nothing to do with this frightening hairstyle.

Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled at last week's hearing that "(Spears) is to have telephonic contact with the minor children. All prior orders remain in full force and effect."

Britney, reach out and touch someone!

Britney Spears’ Visitation Rights Suspended Indefinitely

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:31:00 GMT

At the court hearing that Britney never made it to, Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled that Spears will not have visitation rights restored, at least not until the next hearing on February 19.

Among the witnesses who reportedly testified today were two LAPD officers, court monitors Pamela Strong and Lisa Hacker and Spears' former bodyguard Lonnie Jones. There are differing accounts on whether Kevin Federline or his attorney testified.

Jayden James and Sean Preston Drive to Custody Hearing

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:18:00 GMT

Fed up with being left out of the custody proceedings, Britney Spears' sons Jayden James and Sean Preston were photographed today headed for the courthouse on their own. Judging by Britney's antics today, they should arrive a good twenty-four-hours ahead of her.

They were last seen pulling up to the local 7-Eleven to gas up their rides on Kool-Aid and licorice.

Now, Britney Spears Is Outta Da House

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 22:15:00 GMT

She's gone! She's gone! Now TMZ is reporting that Britney has left the courthouse and is on the freeway headed home. We'll let you know what those crazies at TMZ find out after they follow her to her house and force their way inside. Not that we encourage that type of behavior.

Hey, did you even notice that this is a picture of Paris Hilton and not Britney? Didn't think so.

Britney Spears is In Da House

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:47:00 GMT

She's here! She's here! TMZ is reporting that Britney has finally arrived and entered the courthouse after driving around the block for an eternity in her black Escalade. We'll keep you posted on the proceedings inside.

Yes, I know that's a picture of Lindsay Lohan, but after doing so many stories on Britney we've run out of photos of her to use, and besides - these bad girls are all kind of interchangeable. After I run out of pictures of Lindsay I'll start posting ones of Paris Hilton. You'll see - you won't even know the difference.

Britney Spears a No-Show at Today's Custody Hearing

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:25:00 GMT

Looks like Britney Spears has made it clear: Who needs your kids, when you've got a brand-new boytoy to play with at home? Spears hasn't shown up for a key hearing taking place today in the ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, and signs are pointing to the popstar not being able to see her kids until April. Spears was apparently well enough to stay out until 1am Monday morning with new BFF Adnan Ghalib, so her health couldn't be the reason she hasn't made an appearance. Maybe she couldn't find anything to wear.

Lawyers had urged Spears to attend today's key hearing, as it was her last chance to regain any visitation rights - she lost custody to Federline due to her meltdown a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if she's going to miss the patter of little feet, the cries in the night, the feeling of someone depending on you one hundred percent. Oh wait - Adnan's still there.

Bite Marks And Bruises On Jayden James Spears

HerBadMother — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:58:00 GMT

I really, really, really hope that this amounts to nothing more than normal toddler wear and tear.

According to Usmagazine.com, bite marks and bruises were found on Jayden James when the police investigated the Spears household last week. A bodyguard reported that the bite mark came from Jayden's brother, Preston, but the bruises were unaccounted for.

The story:

Usmagazine.com has learned that when police arrived at Britney Spears' Beverly Hills home on Jan. 3 to investigate her custody dispute with Kevin Federline they discovered that her youngest son, Jayden James, had at least one bite and several bruises on his body.

According to a source, the LAPD report of the incident, which ended with Spears being transported to a nearby hospital for psychiatric evaluation, says that when officers arrived that evening Spears responded by yelling at them to get out of her house. Police outside the home peered through a window and saw Spears cradling Jayden in a bathroom and observed that he was not in any immediate danger.

The source says that, though at first police threatened to break down the bathroom door, they soon learned that the door was in fact not locked and the officers were able to open the door and enter the bathroom.

After observing the bite mark and bruises on the child, police were then told by Federline's bodyguard, who had been at the home to pick up the kids, that the injuries were on Jayden before the child had even arrived at Spears' home earlier in the day, and that his older brother, Sean Preston, had actually bitten him.

I so hope that's all that it is. Not that life is all cuddles and lollipops for those kids, but really: I hope that, at least, they're as physically safe as they can be.

Dr. Phil Cancels Britney Program

HerBadMother — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:10:00 GMT

Dr. ~~Evil~~ Phil has cancelled plans to dedicate an episode of Dr. Phil Now to the recent traumas undergone by Britney Spears.

Speaking in terms of profound understatment, he said that the situation was "too intense:"

"As was widely reported this weekend, at the request of concerned family members, I visited Britney Spears in the hospital. The details of that visit will, of course, remain private," he said in a message online.

"We had planned to tape a Dr. Phil Now show today, focusing not on the tabloid side of Britney's latest problems, but instead on the very serious issues surrounding this case. Clearly, it is not just Britney's family struggling to find a way to protect adult children who cannot be ordered or compelled to seek help.

"Because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping at this particular time.

"Britney and her family are in our prayers, and we ask that they be in yours."

Right. For 'the Spears situation is too intense,' read, 'I took too much shit for imposing my evil self upon Britney and her family at a sensitive time.' At least he's backed off, for now. Small mercies.

K-Fed Worried About Sons' Safety After Britney's Release From Hospital

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 16:05:00 GMT

Britney Spears' surprising, and seemingly premature release from the psych ward of Cedars Sinai Medical Center has Kevin Federline understandably "freaked out." Federline, who was awarded sole custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James on Friday after Britney's meltdown, is reportedly beefing up security at his Tarzana, Calif. home amidst fears that Spears will attempt to kidnap the boys.

A source close to Federline says, “Kevin is so worried that Britney will rush his house and try to grab the boys, just like she tried to do last February...The boys are safe for now, but Kevin feels Britney is clearly deranged, and there’s no telling what she’ll do."

The February incident that the source is referring to is an encounter in February, 2007 when Spears "drove to Kevin’s house three times and tried to wrestle her way inside to get her sons." When Federline refused to let her in Spears took out her frustration on a photographer's car by attacking it with an umbrella.

Britney: Suicide Attempt Or Drug Overdose

HerBadMother — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 14:23:00 GMT

Was it just a mental breakdown, as some sources are saying, or did Britney try to commit suicide, or OD on drugs? According to an insider at Cedars-Sinai, it's one or the other, or both. The source told US magazine that Britney's been designated 'special needs', which is reserved for attempted suicides and persons who have overdosed on drugs and need constant supervision.

The source also told US Magazine that no one on staff wanted to be responsible for her during her first night at the hospital:

With “special needs” patients, the hospital source said, “we watch them so they don’t hurt themselves and watch the people who come visit them to make sure they don’t pass anything to them.

“So we got a call to go have someone sit with her,” the source added. “None of us wanted to go sit with her.”

This tragedy just keeps getting more tragic. One almost hates to keep watching the story as it unfolds. Not that one is going stop watching, of course, but one could certainly feel badly while watching. And commenting.

Kevin Federline Gets Sole Custody of Kids; Britney Loses Visitation Rights

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 02:10:00 GMT

In an emergency court hearing earlier this afternoon, Kevin Federline was awarded sole physical and legal custody of his sons Jayden James and Sean Preston. Britney Spears' visitation rights were suspended after her standoff with police last night that ended with her being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Jayden was also taken to the hospital but later released to Federline.

Commissioner Scott Gordon, who presided over today's hearing ordered another hearing to be held on Jan. 14. Spears is being held at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in the psychiatric unit in a 72-hour mental lockdown.

Leaked Britney Spears Pics: Baby Photoshop Me One More Time

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 14:05:00 GMT

Photos from Brithey Spears disastrous OK! Magazine photo shoot have been leaked online. How heavily retouched are they? Let's put it this way - I could probably do a more realistic-looking rendering of Spears on my Etch-A-Sketch. You may recall hearing about this shoot back in July, where Britney wiped her greasy hands on a pricey silk dress, took repeated bathroom breaks without closing the door and sat and watched as her dog took a crap on a $6,700 Zac Posen gown. To top it off, Spears reportedly left with $14,000 worth of OK!s borrowed clothing. Gimme more free stuff!

At the time OK! said the photos taken were of such bad quality that they were unpublishable. I guess that was before they sat their Photoshop artist at his desk, locked the poor guy in his office and told him not to come out until he had shaved twenty pounds off Britney’s legs and made her look like she was shot through fifteen layers of gauze.

And the worst part? I hate to admit it, but she looks pretty good.

Britney Spears Would Like an Apology From Maxim; In Other News, Still No Sign of Hell Freezing Over

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 22:25:00 GMT

So the story is that Britney Spears had no idea she was on Maxim's list of unsexiest women, and almost crashed a party that the magazine was hosting on Tuesday night at Opera nightclub. In order to avoid an awkward situation once Britney was inside the club, her friends informed her of her inclusion in the group that includes Sarah Jessica Parker and Madonna, and the pop star was shocked that such a list even existed. I hear she threatened to send in her parenting coach to kick the editor's ass, but when that didn't work she decided to demand an apology from Maxim instead.

Seeing as the mean-spirited list was meant to incite and was obviously written by a bunch of ugly lonely men with small penises, I don't see any apologies, private or public coming Britney's way. I think her best bet is to stop trying to crash parties and concentrate on her mothering skills. Otherwise, she'll definitely be in the running to make another list: Worst Parent of 2007. Move over Alec Baldwin!

Eat It, Lick It, Snort It, F**k It, The Video

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:50:00 GMT

Bet you thought that string of expletives Britney Spears hurled at reporters last week was just the crazed ranting of a caffeined-out former popstar with a bad weave? Think again, bitches! Proving her talent for writing some of the greatest song lyrics ever (remember "Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time'?) Spears' rant has spawned a song and a video.

So - Eat It, Lick It, Snort It, Watch It.

(NSFW, but I guarantee your bosses will love it.)

Britney Spears Denied Custody. Will She Get Her Kids Back? You Decide!

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 23:20:00 GMT

In a ruling handed down today, L.A. Court Commissioner Scott Gordon denied Britney Spears joint custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Gordon granted Spears only two daytime visits and one overnight stay per week, all of which must be supervised. Unconfirmed reports say that Spears is trying to petition the commissioner to have those visits supervised by her Chihuahua, London.

In light of damaging testimony presented by Britney's court-appointed parenting coach, the court also ordered that Spears must:

· Get her homes childproofed by November 2.

· Meet with coach Hacker for two hours every week.

· Ensure that Sean and Jayden are properly secured in a child safety seat whenever she drives with them.

What do you think, eager Britney-watchers? Will she grant the wish of the Commish and follow orders? Or will she laugh, knock back a brandy and take the boys joyriding on the hood of the Benz?

Swing This, Commisioner Gordon; Britney Spears Proves She's a Good Parent by Dropping Loads of Cash on Her Kids

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:15:00 GMT

Britney Spears was at Swings n' Things in Calabasas on Thursday to buy a jungle gym for sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Hey - I bought my kids a playhouse at this very same place last summer. And coincidentally, I was hotly pursued by a bunch of people there as well, although they were just trying to catch me after I tried to leave without signing my check.

The rumor is that Britney is being advised by her people to be seen doing 'child-related' activities in order to make an impression on the judge overseeing her custody battle. Which is why you recently saw her leaving a drugstore carrying miniature pumpkins and candy and not cigarettes and cheetos like you usually do. I heard that the next time she flashes her panties she'll have on a special pair that say, 'Come to Mama.'
