Dr.Phil to Give Octomom More Money

trix — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:29:00 GMT

Dr. Phil is so disappointed with Nadya Suleman that he is having her back on the show for two episodes so she can explain her reasons for firing her free nannies. I didn't know he was her new sugar daddy.

She supposedly fired the Angels in Waiting because of two reasons: 1. She thought they were spying on her, 2. She didn't want anymore visits from scary Gloria Allred.

Gloria Allred saw right through Nadya's scheme, she said, “I think the real reason that Nadya has not been able to continue with Angels in Waiting may be the fact that not one, but three reports had to be filed with Child Protective Service by Angels in Waiting [who] are mandated reporters under the law... The whole point of Angels in Waiting, besides providing such high-quality care…was not to put the burden on the taxpayer, but that’s what Nadya and [her attorney] are doing. [They want] to shut everybody up…that’s wrong. I want to know what they are hiding and why.”

Dr. Phil wants to know why Nadya decided to go with her own group of nannies. What Nadya needs to do is stay off the talk shows and actually spend some time with her kids, instead of being such a media whore. Her poor kids need more than just her.

Dr Phil said, “I’m disappointed that the two parties could not find common ground to work together. Now my concern for the 14 children continues to be my singular focus.”

The episodes will air on Wednesday and Thursday. Let us know what you thought of her reasons after the show.

Dr Phil Takes On Octuplets Mom. Guess Who Wins?

HerBadMother — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:15:00 GMT

I suppose that it was inevitable that the whole Octuplets Mom controversy (is it just me, or is she starting to sound like one of the lesser villians from the Spiderman series, or an obscure Japanese superheroine?) would hit the Dr Phil show. I mean, has Dr Phil ever met an issue involving mothers and babies and dubious medical ethics and reality television that he could resist? No. Exactly.

So yesterday he invited on some medical professionals to weigh in on the whole issue (did she do a stupid thing? did her doctor do a stupid thing? who can we call stupid here?) and it was, you know, kind what you'd expect: two bioethicists and a PR representative walk into the Dr Phil Show, and...

Basically, nothing that we didn't expect. Ethically suspect, morally dubious, who's gonna pay for all this, blah blah blah. What I want to know is, when's Octo-Mom going to be on the show? And is she going to fight Spiderman? That's what I want to know.

Spears' Statement Against Sam Lutfi

HerBadMother — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:03:00 GMT

Wow. If even five words of this is true, Sam Lutfi is one messed up dude and the whole Spears story is hella lot more tragic than we thought (which, obvz, is saying a LOT.)

Here's the text of the formal allegations made by Britney's mother:

I, Lynne Spears, declare:

I am the mother of Britney Spears (“Britney”)., who is the subject of this action. I have personal knowledge of each of the facts set forth in this Declaration, and can testify completely thereto, except as this matters stated on information and belief, and as to such matters I believe them to be true.

This past Monday night (Jan. 28), Britney’s father, Jamie, and I (in separate cars) went to Britney’s house in Beverly Hills because we had heard news reports that Britney had just been in a big fight with Sam Lufti aka Sam Lufti (“sam”), the man who has inserted himself into my daughter’s life, home and finances, and that she was crying. We were very concerned about her safety. We arrived at the Summit Community gatehouse in BHPO at approximately 10 p.m. I was with my friend Jackie.

The guards at the gatehouse stopped us there for awhile. Jackie, Jamie and I finally proceeded to Britney’s house and entered it. We were able to enter the house because it was not locked. Britney does not lock her doors and currently there are no security guards around her residence. Britney was not home. We found Sam, and sam said as we walked in the door that Britney only wanted me to come to the house, and that she was afraid to see her dad.

Two or three paparazzi came into the house and entered the kitchen. They greeted Sam. The paparazzi then reported to Sam where Britney currently was. From the conversation between Sam and the paparazzi I determined that sam had given Felipe (another paparazzi) one of Britney’s cars to get her out of the house when he heard that Jamie and I were on our way to see Britney. I also understood from the conversation that Sam disabled all of Britney's cars. (she has several at her residence.)

Sam had told Britney that Jamie and I were coming to the house to do an intervention, and that Britney panicked and took off with Felipe. Another man named Chad Hardcastle was in the house.

I also heard the evening that Britney’s and Sam’s fight that evening, Sam had told Britney that she was an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore, that she cares more about Adnan, her current boyfriend, than she cares about her kids, and that she does not deserve her kids.

The paparazzi reported to Sam and addressed him with great respect. They treated him like a general. He instructed them to get her back to the house. They later told Sam that Britney was on her way back.

Britney then came back to the house with Adnan, who is also a paparazzi. Sam then told Jackie that we needed to do whatever he tells us. I objected. He then told me, “I’m the one who spends 24/7 with your daughter. I sleep in cars outside her house so she can’t leave.” Sam then said, “You people throw everyone under the bus, if you don’t listen to me I’m going to make your name sh** in the papers.”

As I looked around the kitchen, I noticed that in the middle of the kitchen table there was a large car battery. At some point during the evening I learned that the car battery was there so Sam could charge his cell phone. Although Britney has several cell phones, he told us that he had disposed of all of the phone chargers and had made the house phones unworkable.

Sam told Jackie and me to tell ADnan to leave Britney alone and to get the F*** out of the house. Jackie refused. Sam then said to tell Britney that Adnan is gay. Adnan stayed at the house a little longer. Sam quietly said something to Adnan and Adnan promptly left the house.

Britney came into the room looking for Adnan. Sam told her that Adnan was in the bathroom. Britney then asked me, “Is Adnan gay?” While Britney was out of earshot, Sam told Jackie and me that we should pretend that Adnan was in the bathroom so Britney wouldn’t leave.

Britney then became very agitated and could not stop moving. She cleaned the house. She changed her clothes many times. She also changed her three dogs’ clothes many times. Britney spoke to me in a tone and with the level of understanding of a very young girl. Britney then picked up a bottle of pill sand read part of the label and asked us, “What does insomnia mean?” Sam told her that the pills will help her stay awake.

Sam told Jackie and me that he grinds up Britney’s pills, which were on the counter and included Risperdol and Seroquel. He told us that he puts them in her food that that was the reason she had been quiet for the last three days (she had been sleeping.) He told us that the doctor who is treating her now is trying to get her into a sleep-induced coma so that they could then give her drugs to heal her brain.

Sam then encouraged us to sit down on a sofa and do “tequila shots.” Jackie and I said we did not want to. Britney seemed to follow our lead. Sam then got some wine out and said, “Let’s all do toasts with wine.” Britney said that she didn’t want to, she wanted a pretty glass. Sam found a glass with a stem and poured wine for Britney when we were not looking. Britney refused to drink her wine and asked to drink mine.

Shortly afterward, Sam went back into the kitchen and was standing behind a raised bar so that we could not see what his hands were doing on the counter. Sam then said to Britney, “let’s go upstairs,” and Britney followed him. Britney had calmed down by the time she went upstairs.

A little while later, Britney came downstairs. She seemed agitated again and told us that she wanted to go to Rite Aid for lipsticks. It was now past midnight. Jackie and I said we would take her. Sam told us that he wanted to follow us in his car. We told him that he shouldn’t because the paparazzi were in front of the neighbor’s house and would harass us. As were were about to drive off, Sam jumped into the bask seat of the car. The paparazzi followed. Sam and I were sitting in the back seat, with Chad as well. He told me that he gave Britney something (when they were upstairs) to make her more light-hearted, happy, and fun. We entered Rite Aid and Britney chose her lipstick. The manager said it is dangerous out there, which it was. When Britney gave the cashier her credit card, the cahsier told her it was not working. I paid for the lipstick and the manager told us we could leave through the side door so no one could see us. Sam insisted we leave through the front door and he put his arms around Britney and me for the paparazzi to take photos. I disengaged as quickly as I could.

Sam told me,” You’d better learn that I control everything. I control Howard Grossman, Britney’s business manger. I control her attorney's and the security guards at the gate. They don’t listen to Britney, they listen to me. That’s why Jamie was gone tonight.”

At another point in the evening, Sam bragged to me that he is the one who receives Britney's checks and that one of them was for me. I told Sam that I hadn't gotten any checks from Britney. Sam then told me that they are in his car. He told me that if he weren't in the house to give Britney her medicine, she would kill herself. Then he said to me "If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave."

He then proclaimed that he has been in the family for a year and that he had one nothing but good for Britney. At this point, it was two or three in the morning. Britney was meandering around the house. She would let me hug her, but she was out of it.

At one point during the night, Sam was screaming at me and Britney said to me, “Sam treats me like that.” Then she picked up the house phone and said, “Look at the phone, it doesn’t work.” Sam then blamed the dead phone on Britney. Jackie spoke up and said to Sam, “You said you cut down the phone wire.”

Britney then said again at some point during the night, “When do I get to see my babies?” Sam answered, “Wednesday. “ Britney then said, “What do I have to do to see them?” Sam responded, “Take the pills I tell you to take.” Britney said, “I don’t like the pills and I don’t like the psychiatrist. Can’t I see another psychiatrist so I can see my babies?” Sam responded, “If I told you to take 10 pills a day, you should do what I tell you to see your babies.” Jackie then said, “Britney, your parents can help you find a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist needs to get to know you to give you the right medicine.” Sam then raised his voice and said, “Why don’t you get back with Kevin.”

Britney then said, “I’ll do anything to get them back.”

At some point during the evening, Sam said that Britney decided that he should be her manager.

Adnan has called me and told me he’s worried about Britney. He told me that Sam hides the phones and tells her he has lost them. He also hides her dog, London. She looks for him all over the house crying and then Sam brings the dog from the hiding place and acts like her savior.

While we were at Rite Aid, Britney went in and out of her British accent.

At 4 a.m., I was exhausted and wanted to leave. Sam blocked my car so I could not leave. I threatened to call Jamie on the phone.

Britney said, “I want my Daddy up here. I want to talk to my Daddy.” I reached Jamie on the phone and gave the phone to Britney. I heard her tell him that she wanted to see him. He said, “right now baby?” and she said, “no.” He said, “10:00 in the morning?” and she said, “no, noon.”

I spent the rest of the night at Britney’s house and for the first time in a very long time, when I lay down to sleep, I felt very agitated. I could not fall asleep at all. I felt like I had had coffee. Jackie, who had gone home earlier, later told me that she also could not sleep at all, and felt like she had had coffee.

Jamie came to pick me up the next morning. Jamie gave Britney a big hug and said to her, “baby, you’re OK?” Britney said, “I’m fine,” then burst into tears.

“To my knowledge, Britney never went to sleep that night and was very agitated for most of the night.

Sam and Chad, however, slept in the “smoking room,” a small room downstairs on the first floor of the house.

Later the next day, on January 29, Jackie showed me a text message she had received from Sam: “Thanks for telling Jamie all your bulls**t. He just hit me. Now you guys did your deed. Much accomplished. Good job.

I did not see Britney again until I arrived at her house on Wednesday night after Sam called me and told me to come to the house. When we arrived, Britney seemed subdued. The police arrived and took her to the Neuro Psychiatric Institute at UCLA (“NPI”). While at NPI, I l earned that Britney informed her doctor, Lee Sadja, MD, that she had also taken Aderol.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on January 31, 2008 at Los Angeles, California.

Grandpa Spears Talks Jamie Lynn And His Fondness of Guns

Sassy Smith — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 13:04:00 GMT

Spears' family members seem to be coming out of the woodwork to give their two cents worth on the family dynamic.

According to June Spears, paternal grandfather of Brit and Jamie Lynn, their mother Lynne is not coping well with the pending birth of Jamie Lynn's baby. Grandpa says that Mama Spears is in "denial" about her teenage daughter's pregnancy. Well Ms. Spears burying your head in the sand isn't going to make it go away.

The 77-year-old said to the New York Daily News: "Lynne keeps Jamie-Lynn hidden. Lynne is in denial about the pregnancy. She thinks it's just going to to away, but it's not. It's going to get bigger and bigger." Yup, and so is Jamie Lynne's baby bump!

The old timer also mentioned that he doesn't drink and has a fondness for firearms, keeping a gun under the seat in his truck. Asked if he'd ever shot any reporters, he replied: "Maybe I have, maybe I haven't." Ah okay?

The whole Spears clan seems ~~a bit nutters~~ stable!

Did Sam Lufti Drug Britney?

HerBadMother — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 23:32:00 GMT

According to the restraining order placed by Britney Spears' parents against Sam Lufit, Lufti drugged Britney and cut her phone lines and repeatedly called her an unfit mother. Among other things. All of which, if true, make that 'kidnapping' concern look a little less ludicrous.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the order, and is reporting that it requires Lutfi to stay 250 yards away from Britney, UCLA Medical Center, her parents' homes, siblings' homes, childrens' homes and Britney's homes.

According to TMZ: the document states that "(Lufti) has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything."

According to a declaration filed by Lynne Spears, on January 28, Lynne and Jamie arrived for an intervention -- "Sam had told Britney that she was an unfit mother, a piece of trash and a whore, that she cares more about Adnan, her current boyfriend, than she cares about her kids, and that she does not deserve the kids."

At one point, Britney "picked up a bottle of pills and read part of the label and asked us, 'What does insomnia mean?' Sam told her that the pills will help her stay awake." Lynne continues, "Sam told Jackie and me that he grinds up Britney's pills, which were on the counter and included Risperdal (an anti-psychotic drug for schizophrenia and bipolarity) and Seroquel." The docs continue, "He told us that the doctor who is treating her now is trying to get her into a sleep-induced coma so that they could then give her drugs to heal her brain."

According to the docs, Sam then encouraged Brit "to do tequila shots." The document then claims Sam said, "let's all do toasts with wine." Brit refused to drink.

Lynne claims before leaving for the drug store that night, Sam gave her drugs upstairs "to make her more light-hearted, happy, and fun."

During a dispute later that night, Sam allegedly said, "If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave."

Twisted, twisted, twisted. And then some.

Britney Is Poor Y'all - Let's Take Up A Collection!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Britney Spears used to be worth ALOT - now, not so much. In 2007, Spears was listed in Forbes mag as one of THE richest women in entertainment and her net worth was estimated at $100 million.

Howard Grossman, her business manager was tight lipped as to the size and condition of her estate, but it was revealed in court that Spears is ONLY worth $40 million now. Um, only $40 million smackeroos? Gosh, how sad for Brit. How will she ever get through life on FORTY MILLION DOLLARS? I wish I had that problem.

Brit's new lawyer told Pagesix.com that Spears has filed a $17 million IRS tax audit involving Jive Records, in an effort to get money back that had been paid by the label.

Also at issue in the hearing, which continues now, are 15 businesses in Britney's name. Each one of them covers a specific part of her empire, from publishing and touring to her fragrance and other merchandise.

Sure, if someone - Britney's label or any other money grubbing party/person took funds from Spears that they weren't entitled to, that certainly isn't right but the chick still has about $40 million, so I don't think she's going to be living in a cardboard box on Main Street anytime soon. I want to add 'because she's living in a padded room right now,' but that's mean, so I won't say that. Excuse me while I polish my halo.

Adnan Kicked Out Of Hospital: Is He Britney's Wannabe Kidnapper?

HerBadMother — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Adnan Ghalib - Britney Spears' paparazzo boyfriend - was reportedly kicked out of the hospital when he tried to visit Britney yesterday.

Sources differ on how long he was actually in the hospital - some say that he was turned away immediately; others that he was inside for a few minutes - but apparently, regardless of how long he was inside, when he emerged he looked, according to one witness, he looked "very, very sad... "he didn't talk to anyone and tried to avoid having his picture taken. He was very upset."

Lynne Spears - who, with Britney's father, has custody over Britney in the form of a conservatorship - is reported to have been the one who put the boots to Adnan.

So, is Adnan our mysterious "kidnap threat"? He doesn't have a restraining order against him - as does Sam Lufti - but he has been known to take Britney and disappear to Mexico. Hmmm...

Britney P*ssed At Daddy Spears

Sassy Smith — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 01:23:00 GMT

Britney Spears is not happy with her daddy, Jamie Spears. Brit wanted to take back control of her estate after her father was awarded conservatorship last Friday. Spears was contesting the decision, however as of today, her dad will remain as conservator until February 14.

From TMZ:

Britbrit's new lawyer, Andrew Streisand, had requested that her bank and business manager be given the conservatorship, as having estranged dad Jamie in charge was causing his client additional distress.

The poptart is still in hospital. Will the craziness for this chick ever end?

Who's Planning To Kidnap Britney?

HerBadMother — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 23:06:00 GMT

According to those in charge of her care, Britney's at real risk of being kidnapped.

Both the court commissioner in charge of her hearings and her lawyers are saying that there's a very real risk that she might be kidnapped. They're not saying by whom, but it sounds like they have somebody - or somebodies, plural - in mind.

According to E! Online:

News that Spears may be prolonging her stay in the hospital's psych ward, where she has been undergoing a battery of mental evaluations since voluntarily checking into the facility in the early-morning hours Thursday, comes in the wake of confirmation that even if she's allowed to leave the hospital, she won't get far.

E! News has confirmed that during the emergency Friday afternoon hearing, in which the singer's father, Jamie Spears, and attorney Andrew Wallete were appointed temporary coconservatorship over decisions pertaining to the Blackout singer's estate and a restraining order was granted on behalf of Spears against manager-pal Sam Lutfi, court commissioner Reva Goetz said a free Spears had the potential to be either a "flight or kidnapping risk."

While neither Goetz nor attorneys for Spears mentioned in the hearing who they feared posed the possible risk of facilitating either a flight or kidnap situation, the source told E! News the Spears family was taking great precautions to ensure their daughter's safety.

"Britney will now be provided adequate security. She had been convinced in the past to do away with personal security by certain people in her life, and that was very dangerous. It was a possibly deadly situation."

The source also confirmed that the amped-up security measures were particularly in response to the kidnap risk, saying the real danger lay in what may happen if Spears leaves UCLA Medical Center without being in the proper state of mind, adding, "Should she be released too early, hypothetically someone could try to take her away."

Clearly, those close to Britney have somebody in mind as a potential kidnapper. Who might that be? Adnan the lascivious paparazzo? Sam Lufti the manager-cum-burglar? DR. PHIL?

It's like a really, really twisted game of Clue.

Britney Spears Sex Tape Stolen? Sam Lutfi Questioned by LAPD

Sassy Smith — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:03:00 GMT

Reports from pagesix say that Sam Lutfi - Britney's manager? was questioned by the LAPD about a burglary that allegedly took place at Spears' house sometime after she was admitted to the hospital.

Brit's parents, Jamie and Lynne noticed that "several personal items" were missing when they arrived Friday night to their daughter's home. Lutfi was apparently "voluntarily" questioned and is not considered a suspect. Ya, because that dude is on the up and up. And what "personal" items would have been taken? Photos? Perhaps a sex tape? Can you imagine? I mean we've seen Britney's tonsils via her vagina, so would a Brit homemade sex tape really be that thrilling?

LAPD spokespersons would not confirm or deny if Sam was questioned, however a source said: "No, one has been ruled out as a suspect, and this is an ongoing investigation."

"Britney has has no contact with Lutfi since her dad became conservator to her on Friday," a UCLA Medical Center source told pagesix.

I have a feeling that we've not heard the last of Sam Lutfi.

Britney's In And Out?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 15:06:00 GMT

Absolutely not what you're thinking.... Before Sam Lutfi got the big ol' boot in the ass to stay away from Britney, he brought her some ~~junk~~ good food - In-N-Out take out. When you're on the psych ward, you still want to be able to get your fix, ah, no pun intended.

Lutfi was of course swamped with questions by the paps. When asked how Britney's doing, he replied "good." Ah huh. She's probably better than Sam is at this point.

Spears' parents are in control now, but I expect Sam will put up a fight. I mean his cash cow is being cut off from him, so I betcha he'll be causing a stink!

Britney Now Legally Under Dad's Control

HerBadMother — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 11:02:00 GMT

That court-battle for control over Britney? It's been settled: her dad - Jamie Spears - was granted control over Britney, her assets and her affairs.

According to the Guardian:

A Los Angeles court has placed Britney Spears and her estate under the temporary control of her father while she remains under round-the-clock supervision in a psychiatric hospital.

Jamie Spears petitioned for the emergency "temporary conservatorship" order yesterday, and was given control over his daughter's financial assets including her Hollywood home and credit cards. The order is granted by a court when a person is deemed unable to look after themselves or manage their own affairs...

Mr Spears has the power to bar people from visiting her in hospital, will have sole control over her medical records, and can cancel any contracts she may have signed. He was also named conservator of Spears herself after Commissioner Reva Goetz told a packed courtroom that conservatorship over her person was necessary and appropriate: "It is in the best interests of the conservatee to have conservatorship over her person."

The ruling follows a conflict between Britney's parents and her former manager, Sam Lufti - reported HERE - over who should take responsibility for her. The court issued a 22-day restraining order against Lufti.

Britney certainly seems to need someone to look after her, but do her parents really have her best interests at heart? Let's hope this works out for the best.

The Britney Saga Gets Uglier

HerBadMother — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 02:35:00 GMT

So, Britney's parents have gone to court to secure control over her medical care. Specifically, they've asked for a conservatorship, which would give them decision-making control over her affairs - including her financial affairs. They say it's necessary because Sam Lufti and Adnan Ghalib are squandering her assets. But Lufti says that Brit's parents just want those assets for themselves. Brit's parent's response? Get a restraining order against Lufti so that he can't get near Britney.

UGH. It's really not clear who the good guys and bad guys are here. Sadly, odds are that they're all bad. The story...

According to TMZ: "the conservatorship would... allow (Britney's parents) to control Britney's financial affairs. Both parents have made it clear: they believe Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib are squandering Brit's assets." But Sam Lutfi says that Lynne is after that money for herself.

A family source provided People with some interesting info:

"As the money came in, the family began to fight more. If Britney was aggravated with Lynne, maybe Bryan would side with Britney because he was on the payroll." Now, "It doesn't seem like there's much of a payroll, I guess they might have to get jobs like the rest of us."

The Superficial adds that a source in the Federline camp paints an interesting picture of Sam that explains the rants Britney made about Lynne and her boyfriend: the source says that Lutfi has been "telling Britney that Adnan [Ghalib] and her mother have been conspiring to do this so he looks like a savior. It's really sick and crazy."

Sick and crazy indeed. And whether it's because Sam Lufti is a sick and crazy opportunistic asshole, or because he exerts too much influence over Britney and is getting in the way of her parents' money-grubby plans, or BOTH, Lynne and Jamie Spears have managed to get a restraining order against him. So, um, they win? For now?

Twisted, twisted, twisted. I've gotten a bit too tired of the whole Britney saga to feel too much sympathy for her, but this gets me close. Is there nobody close to this girl who simply has her best interests at heart? SO. SAD.

Dr. Phil, Shut Your Piehole

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 21:05:00 GMT

I was going to title this post "Dr. Phil, Stop Talking" or "No More Comments, Dr. Phil" but I realized those probably weren't strong enough because this guy? Doesn't get the message.

After getting slammed by the psychiatry community and the Spears family for his self-aggrandizing comments after Britney Spears' last meltdown, Dr. Phil McGraw went on The View on Thursday morning and ran his mouth once again about Spears' latest hospitalization.

Attempting to defend his last breach, McGraw said he was only tying to "start a low-key dialogue that might make her open to seeking help." To give himself credit he pointed out that it seems to be the path she's taking, and then added, "If that starts [her] on the road to intervention, then that is a good thing."

Thanks, Dr. Phil. Now shut your piehole.

Janice Dickinson: "I'd Slap Her Silly!"

Sassy Smith — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 23:33:00 GMT

Outspoken Janice Dickinson wants to "slap her silly," any guesses as to who's face she'd like to smack?

Britney Spears! Dickinson spoke with Access Hollywood and told Tony Potts just what she thought of the whole situation concerning Brit, Lynne Spears and Dr. Phil.

Janice feels that Lynne should be held responsible. "My opinion on Britney Spears, is Mrs. [Lynne] Spears should be jailed. Britney's mom is responsible for all this stuff going on."

As for Brit herself, Janice said, "I'd slap her silly! I'd slap the living sh*t out of her!" Well now, that's pretty direct. Maybe she's on to something?

She continues, "I would beg Britney just to give it all up. I would say, 'You're rich enough! Give it up and try to focus on the two boys.' I seriously hope that Britney doesn't kill herself. I seriously hope that she doesn't damage herself."

Dickinson also had choice words for Dr. Phil: "I think Dr. Phil is pathetic. Pathetic sensationalism."

Janice, who admits to be a recovering alcoholic says, "I would just beg Britney to try to find a twelve-step program for her that works, because, like [with] myself, it can happen again and again until you finally find it. Thank God I found it."

Dickinson might be a bit on the wacky side, definately outspoken and bold but she does have some valid points. I doubt Britney, at this point, would ever take her advice.

K-Fed Finally Speaks Out

Karen — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:30:00 GMT

Kevin Federline has kept his voice out of the media for so long, but he told Interview magazine his feelings on the situation between him and ex-wife Britney Spears.

"Even though everything is so publicized and everybody is looking at it, it's normal for us.

“People put it up on this pedestal when it's really the same way that everybody else goes through their stuff, you know? It's not really any different.

“I mean, I could sit down and explain that to people, but they all already know how I feel. I think the infatuation with the whole thing is that watching us go through things makes other people feel normal."

I'LL SAY.

When asked how he felt about the public using his ex-wife's antics as entertainment, he replied:

“I guess that's the way I have to look at it. I'm not completely willing to give in to everything that's been done. But that's the way that things have happened and I'm not that completely upset by it either.

“I've gained a whole lot of stuff I've wanted to do out of it, too. But I don't think it hurt the relationship, and I don't regret letting people in.”

Look for February's Interview magazine for the full scoop on K-Fed and Britney's highly publicized split. Say what you want about Kevin Federline, but it seems he is coming out as the good Daddy in this whole thing. Hopefully those boys are protected and loved in his home.

By now we all know some of the details of Britney's meltdown and alleged "hostage" situation with her youngest son Jayden James. And because of that "incident," Spears spent about 36 hours in hospital and apparently caused a "mini riot" during her brief stay. Figures.

Reportedly a mother of child who was a patient at the hospital wanted to have a small birthday celebration for her daughter, however medical staff refused to allow the mom to bring a cake into the ward. The mother got upset and screamed, "If Britney brought the cake you'd let her," and then the mom kicked the door to Britney's private room, which caused Spears to yell back at the woman, which caused more upset.

The woman was probably right...if Brit wanted a cake, you can bet someone would bring her a cake and the staff most likely would have allowed it.

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.

Britney Single Again: Any Takers?

HerBadMother — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:02:00 GMT

In what may just be her first act of reasoned judgment in, oh, forever, Britney Spears has dumped her creeperiffic paparazzo fling, Adnan Ghalib. You know, for taking dirty pictures of her and selling them to the highest bidder.

According to E! Online:

Britney Spears abruptly pulled the plug on her whirlwind weekend with (married!) paparazzo Adnan Ghalib and returned alone Monday to her Beverly Hills abode, a source close to Brit exclusively tells E!'s own Ryan Seacrest.

So she's back on the market. Don't trample each other in a stampede to ask her out, boys.

Britney's Boyfriend's Wife REVEALED

Sassy Smith — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 21:33:00 GMT

Britney's "paparazzo boyfriend" Adnan Ghalib's wife has come forward. She's denying any part in the rumored financial scam to sell compromising photos of Britney Spears.

AzLynn Berry and Adnan are currently separated and she's moved out of L.A. to escape the glaring attention that Britney and her husband have caused. She told Access Hollywood in a phone interview, "I was chased down the street by two men in a BMW."

Yikes, I'd move too! I wonder how she feels about her husband and his possible slimeball antics with Britbrit? And, look at her! She's beautiful...why would Adnan want to get a hamburger when he's got STEAK at home? Geez.

Britney's Breasts-Million Dollar Shot?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:04:00 GMT

Just what Britney Spears needs is more drama, more controversy. Brit's close friends and family are worried that her new 'beau', paparazzo Adnan Ghalib is going to take advantage of her and leak provocative pictures of the poptart to numerous news outlets for some big bucks, allegedly $1 million. Kevin Federline is also concerned and working on a plan to help get Adnan out of her life.

NSFW (kinda) Photo after the read and video of Britney's "flat tire" incident

A concerned friend said, "Photos are already on the market, and although they're tame, who's to say what the next round will hold. It's not as if Britney's judgement is very good right now, he could really take advantage of her. Her MTV performance could actually end up looking tasteful, if things go really bad." Um, haven't we already seen more than enough of Britney's naughty bits?

"We have literally run out of ideas as to what to do to protect Britney. Who knows what will happen next?"

Well, Britney caused a commotion after her white Mercedes got a flat tire Monday night and of course there were swarms of paparazzi around to video and snap pictures of all the action. Police were called, Spears ended up leaving her car and flagging down a pap (not Adnan, another dude), who gave her more than a ride home. He snapped some not so flattering photos of the popwreck as she was pretty much falling out of her top. Anything to make a buck I guess, however, on the other hand, Britney isn't that dumb and has to know that if she's practically topless, and there's paparazzi around, they're going to seize the opportunity. Duh. Either way, you know that photo below was a money shot!

As for the flat tire and her car, according to Lt. David Grimes of the Los Angeles Police Department, "Ms. Spears' car was impounded. Officers on the scene told me it was blocking the roadway, and that it was unsafe enough to leave at the location." Britney reportedly left her car in the right hand land and got out. Does common sense ever grace this woman's brain?

"It was towed by a private company that's contracted with the city. Her car is being held at the official police garage tow yard. There's not a hold on the vehicle. She just needs to show up to obtain it. She'll have to pay tow fees, and that total cost depends on how many days she leaves it there." He also said that Spears will not get any citations or fines. Apparently the towing fee is $104 and $35.60 for each day that her car remains there.

Britney needs to just stay home for awhile. Lie low. Will that happen? I highly doubt it.

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.

Jamie Lynn Gets Support From Kevin Federline

Karen — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:06:00 GMT

It's no secret K-Fed knew of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy before Britney, in fact it seems the Spears family is closer to him than to their own flesh and blood.

"Kevin has long thought of Jamie Lynn as a little sister. He was heartbroken because he was concerned about what it would mean for Jamie Lynn's future." But now that the dust has begun to settle, "he just wants to be part of the support system."

OK! Magazine asked the question this morning, "Who do you think Jamie Lynn should get parenting advice from?"

I can't believe my favorite answer was Kevin Federline!

Jamie Lynn Spears Shows Off Her Baby Bump

Sassy Smith — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 21:04:00 GMT

New photos have been taken of pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears and her on again, off again boyfriend, possible baby daddy or not, Casey Aldridge.

MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP

And I have to say, she does not look 14 weeks pregnant. Sure it could be the dress making her appear bigger than she is but I don't think so. She's a teenager, with a flat belly and a first pregnancy, so her baby bump should not even be showing if she is only 14 weeks!

There'll be no more denying things when she pops that little Spears out in March!
