Britney Spears is Getting Married Y'all

trix — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:34:00 GMT

Wow, Britney really gets around. At least that's what the media would have us believe. Yes, that includes us here at Famecrawler, sorry.

First, she was linked to her manager, then her backup dancers, Geo and Chase, then on to her ex-hubby K-fed. Now is the best relationship though, because it includes an engagement ring. A big, sparkly, $4.5 million marquis cut, diamond ring.

Who's the guy? His name is John Sundahl and he is multi-millionaire land developer in Germany. How did the couple hook up? Apparently they dated in 2007 and he's been burning with love for her ever since. She just had to get a few things sorted out before they could really be together, forever. Things like her brain and her hangers on.

Mr. Sundahl's personal pilot let the world in on the situation. He said, "Britney and John used to date, but they reconnected after her show in New Jersey, and now they're engaged. He got down on one knee in a Subway sandwich shop in Santa Monica a week ago and proposed with a $4.5 million marquise-cut diamond that he bought at a Frankfurt jewelry store. They plan on getting married at his aunt's farm in Germany in six weeks. It's very hush-hush, even to the employees. He's even putting a $350K fence around the property."

The story gets better though. John Sundahl said, from his parents house in Santa Monica, " I don't want to talk about that", but then said, "Britney doesn't want to do anything until the tour is over. She wants press for her tour and not for an engagement."

Britney's people say there is no such plans and there was no proposal. It sounds as though she may have a stalker.

Crazy!!!

Do you think Brit Brit is engaged and getting married in 6 weeks? I'm gonna guess, NO!

Britney Spears "Dating" Another Dancer

trix — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:33:00 GMT

Britney Spears is desperately trying to keep it together while on tour and is finding it easier with her new "love" interest.

Is that him in the picture?

She has supposedly hooked up with several of her dancers and has stuck with dancer Chase Benz for some time.

I'm not sure how long she could have been sticking with him, since the tour just started last month.

Chase is a 21 year old from Tennessee and I've heard it's getting serious. She was probably drawn in by his southern accent and felt they had a lot in common because of their shared background.

Hopefully he's not another K-Fed and she's learned her lesson.

Kevin Federline Is Livin' Large

It looks like K-Fed is living pretty well off of Britney's money. Now that she has the boys more often, he must not be doing as much running around.

I know that Kevin took over the kids when it was needed. I can respect that part of him, however I was never a fan of his and couldn't see what Britney thought she saw in him. I am glad they aren't together anymore and he's not dragging her down.

Britney Comback Is Too Much Too Soon

trix — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 21:28:00 GMT

Is Britney Spears comeback too much too soon? She won big at the VMAs and performed with Madonna last night and her dad thinks that it may be too much for her to bear. Life & Style magazine has a cover article that discusses this very thing.

It's been ages since Britney Spears could let loose and have a little fun. Since suffering a public breakdown in January, the troubled pop star has been under the extremely close watch of her father, Jamie — and has rarely been permitted to socialize with anyone outside her tight circle of family members, handlers and bodyguards.
Brit's father, according to a Spears family insider, is still worried that his daughter is not ready to cope on her own.
"He's not trying to embarrass her," the insider says, "but he doesn't think she can handle being out and about by herself yet. He doesn't want to see his daughter get hurt — and he really doesn't want anything to stand in the way of her comeback."

I think that as long as she stays on her meds she'll be all right. It is nice to see that her family is worried about her, whether it's about the money or not.

Hey Y'all Britney Looks Fresh & Pretty!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:11:00 GMT

Britney Spears just keeps getting better and better! The former popstar spent a quiet July 4th with pals on a private boat in Marina Del Ray. She looked fresh and pretty in her white sundress (and what looks like a brightly colored bikini underneath). Even her hair didn't look bad - now that's somethin'!

More pics after the jump!

Hopefully Britster keeps climbing to the top and continues to get well for the sake of her sons. I wonder if Britney saw her new, sorta secret boyfriend?

OMG Y'all - Britney's Upskirt

Why Is Brit Brit Crying?

OMG! Britney Has A Boyfriend - You'll Never Guess!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:05:00 GMT

Britney Spears' crazy train has been pretty tame lately - her daddy stepped in and took control, and basically got his daughter back on track. She's working to put her career in order, get healthy - both physically and mentally - and is striving to get her boys back on a more full-time basis. Now, comes word that Brit has a man in her life - someone, who we thought was loooong gone from the picture. Oh, but think again! Who's all up in Britney's grill?

Brit is still with Adnan Ghalib?! According to TMZ sources, Adnan has been given permission, over the last few months, to get into The Summit, the gated community where Spears lives. They've also been texting back and forth, often complaining that Jamie Spears is too "controlling" and that he's been trying to put an end to the relationship. Um, didn't he make a sex tape with Brit without her consent? Ya.

But daddy's job is to control Brit's assets as conservator, not be able to control who she sees. The doctors, however, who have been treating Britney have told Jamie that it would not be in her best interest for her to be seeing Adnan. Uh, ya think?

So, if she's still with Adnan, does that mean those pregnancy rumors are true? Oh let the speculating begin (not that I do that).

Richie Sambora Stands Behind Ex-Wife Heather Locklear

Karen — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:05:00 GMT

In a valiant effort to be supportive, Richie Sambora made it known last night that he would be there for ex-wife Heather Locklear, who entered rehab earlier this week: "Without a doubt, he's there for his daughter and her mother. They may be divorced, but they are raising a little girl they both love very much."

And despite being on the road touring with his band Bon Jovi until July, Sambora's pal insists the star will be there for Locklear if she needs him.

The source adds, "I'm sure he's available if Heather should need something and certainly for Ava."

Britney Spears To Testify For Sam Lutfi?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:33:00 GMT

Britney Spears has reportedly been asked to testify on behalf of Sam Lutfi, her former "manager/friend" in his continuing quest to "free" Brit from her dad's control.

Lutfi is believed to be behind lawyer Jon Eardley's attempts to push Britney's case to the federal court - in the hopes that the higher court would overrule Jamie Spears' control over his daughter's assets and any decisions on her behalf. However, that attempt was unsuccessful, so now Sam is preparing to present evidence proving that all the allegations against him are false and that the restraining order filed to keep him away from Spears is ridiculous. The court hearing takes place on March 17 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

He's hoping that by calling Britney Spears to testify, she will prove his innocence. He told a friend, "I am going to call Britney to the stand so she can tell the world how I was helping her. I am innocent. I am Britney's friend and would never hurt her." ~~No, just drug her~~.

A source close to Sam said, "[Sam thinks] Britney feels fit enough to make her own decisions but is overruled by her father."

Lutfi's mouthpiece Michael Sands said, "Sam is a good guy who does not agree with this restraining order. He will fight it all the way."

Of course he will - his moneybag has been taken away from him. Hey Sam, I hear Britney's almost broke, perhaps you should find another source of income - say like- GET A JOB.

Britney Thinks Her Boys Are Dolls

Sassy Smith — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:01:00 GMT

Britney Spears apparently thinks of her sons, Sean Preston, and Jayden James, as dolls. Spears has had alot going on in her life in the past several weeks - a hostage standoff with authorities, two hospital stays in the pysch ward, reported drug use, losing custody of her boys, yet Brit can't grasp why she can't just have her sons back.

According to pagesix:

Though she is no longer committed to a psych ward, Britney Spears' mental health has continued to get worse, according to those closest to her. Mom Lynne Spears has told former son-in-law Kevin Federline that Britney acts like a small child, cannot comprehend any of what's going on and talks about sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, like they are toys. "She is like a little girl with dolls," says a family insider, "and does not understand why she can't have them back." According to the insider, Kevin is adamant that Britney not see their kids right now, and the law is on his side. "He will not allow the boys to be hurt by her anymore," the source continues. "Kevin does not want her to see them until she agrees to get more help."

Kevin has recently had a change of heart about his ex wife seeing the boys providing her mom Lynne is there. That has yet to happen. Britster needs to get her sh*t together so her boys can have their mom back - they need to have a mother that is well.

PETA: Britney Is A Mad Cow!

Britney's Got A New Job!

Britney Is SLIGHTLY Crazy

Sassy Smith — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 00:04:00 GMT

Remember when Britney's cousin Alli Sims defended her and said "Britney is not crazy?" I'm going to go out on a limb and beg to differ.

VIDEO AFTER THE JUMP!

Spears was out and about on the weekend, seemingly free of her paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, because she allegedly slapped him with a restraining order that he apparently knows nothing about. Still with me?

Brit was at Millenium dance studios (dancing I'm assuming), working on moves for her new video "Hot As Ice." As she's sitting in her car, either before or after her rehearsal, a homeless man asks her for help and she says, "You would rather be homeless than be me, sir." Homeless dude responds with, "Let them see you do something good for once." Oh snap! Of course Britney is talking in her fake British accent. My favourite part of the whole exchange between her and the paps, is when someone asks her what part of England she's from. The split second look on Brit's face is quite priceless.

Overall the whole video is bizarre and Britney also claims she doesn't know who Adnan is when asked about him. The scary part - she's almost believable when she says that, like she actually has no idea who he is. Very, very odd indeed.

Britney Will Die In Six Months?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:08:00 GMT

Britney Spears will die in six months? A top U.S. psychologist, Dr.Lillian Glass has made public comments about Spears and her "diagnosis."

Dr. Glass spoke to Globe magazine, saying:

"Unless Britney is locked away or put into a treatment program, she is going to die in six months - or even sooner. In my opinion, she suffers from cyclothymia, a chronic mood disorder in which short periods of mild depression are followed by short periods of hypomania,” she said.

She added: "That explains why one minute she (Spears) can appear perfectly sane and the next she's exhibiting totally crazy behavior." Dr. Glass tells the publication, She's definitely a candidate for suicide if she isn't treated immediately."

Glass said that this supports Spears' recent meltdown at her home, which ended with Britney going to the hospital under a "5150" mental lockdown, however she was released in just 36 hours.

I'm not a doctor, but the "symptoms" of cyclothymia do seem to fit Britney. I guess no one will really know for sure until Spears checks herself in to a hospital and receives some long term care until she's well.

Federline's Driver Endangers Children, Runs Stop Sign

Karen — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 14:02:00 GMT

Last night after celebrating Thanksgiving a day early with Mom Britney Spears, Sean Preston and Jayden James were picked up by one of Federline's drivers to be escorted back to their father.

Video (after the jump) shows said driver running a stop sign right before the very same busy intersection where Britney ran through a set of lights earlier this year. I wonder if Britney's Dick picked that up!

I also wonder what Thanksgiving Dinner was at Spears' house. "Okay Boys, y'all are havin' Sweet Cheeto Pie and Mama didn't buy no turkey, so I'm just gonna run around the house flapping my arms and yelling "Gobble Gobble!" Sounds fun, don't it?"

Britney Is "Our Next Michael Jackson"

Karen — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:33:00 GMT

US Magazine published an interview with Addiction Specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky and the good doctor breaks down Britney into bite sized morsels. Say what you want, Dr. Obvious isn't saying anything that hasn't already been said. You can lead a rich, trashy horse to water but if she wants Starbucks and cocaine, you can bet the farm she is going to get it.

My favorite parts are these two quotes:

US: What can be done for Britney? Is she permanently damaged?
DP: She can be treated. She is not an untreatable situation, but she needs to go away and drop out of sight and focus on her sobriety for at least nine months.

and:

US: How much of this dysfunction did Britney create herself and how much of it is a product of her life and upbringing?
DP: Yes, the circumstances in her life and her genetics have contributed to where she is today. There was no sinister plot to make her this way. Now she needs to change and that is where you have to hold her accountable, particularly because she has children. An adult shouldn’t be blaming anyone other than themselves. She can get better, she just doesn’t want to.

If she is the "next Michael Jackson," does she even have the mental capacity to be an adult though? I will hate to see what happens to the young (under 15 years old) stars a few years from now. What are we doing to them?

Top 10 Celebrity Parent Trainwrecks

Karen — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:09:00 GMT

Celebrity Cowboy came up with a list of the Top Ten Celebrity Trainwrecks of 2007 and 4 of them are frequent subjects here at Famecrawler. I thought I'd make it an even 10 Celebrity Parents, so we have our own list here too.

Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole, Rosie O'Donnell, and of COURSE Britney all made Celebrity Cowboy's list.

But who rounded out Famecrawler's Top Ten Celebrity Parent Trainwrecks?

In addition to the above 4 trainwrecky parents, we've added the following 6:

Larry Birkhead has tried to trick the public into believing he wants what is best for daughter Dannilynn, but if he really wanted to protect her, he would stop exploiting her via magazine covers and this ridiculous reality television show with her. Ever since the entire fight over Dannilynn began, I've wanted to adopt that beautiful girl and give her a normal life.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck can't be left out, especially if Rosie made the list. Oh who am I kidding? My disdain for both of them is equal and stronger than Rosie's man hands. Strong convictions made the pair entertaining and frustrating to watch on The View, but strong convictions do not constitute intelligent arguments. When Hasselbeck announced she would be mommyblogging for Dreft Detergent, I had to wonder if it shouldn't have been renamed Daft Detergent. Or Annoying Wordy Crock of Crap Detergent. I can't think of a worse spokesperson to have for a mommyblogger. Well there's Britney.

Once upon a time there was a rich girl who's Daddy was powerful and made all her dreams come true. Then the little girl grew up (sortof) and married that guy that gets pulled into every endevour her little brain can conjure up. Tori Spelling may be new at unclogging toilets, but since having her baby she has done some pretty boring things and we all pick on her because she acts kinda dumb and none of us have ever liked her or that Donna Martin twit. The end.

Heather Mills. Insane, money grubbing trollop. Need I say more? She is doing enough talking, no?

Mate Koss, er, Moss Mate, um, *giggle* Peach Schnapps....*falls to floor and passes out.*

Denise Richards & Charlie Sheen have said some absolutely awful things in the press. And if they are both willing to say such damaging things so publicly, then tell me, how much worse does it get, in front of the kids behind closed doors? Disgusting.

I know there are more trainwrecky celeb parents but I had to stop at 10. Who would you have added?

"Leave Britney ALONE," Crazy B*tch Edition

Karen — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 18:35:00 GMT

Britney Spears went to The Children's Place yesterday and shopped for the boys, only to find herself blocked in by the paparazzi and two crazy women tried to "save her."

The first, a frumpy housewife version of Chris Crocker got so hot headed, she was dragging her poor kid along and passed her car completely while walking. "You guys are unbelievable. For a buck. You're the reason why a lot of people HATE YOU!" She ranted. There was a lot of yelling and swearing, all in front of a children's clothing store. Niiiiice.

The second crazy lady, I think an employee of the store, got in the way of the cameras, repeating "Excuse me, pardon me," over and over, and guided Britney out of the parking lot with "C'mon babygirl, C'mon Mama."

The video is, if nothing else, an entertaining look at just how much Britney loves this attention.

Kevin Federline To Spill All to Oprah About Britney Spears

Karen — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 15:32:00 GMT

Kevin Federline is set to reveal everything about the troubled pop star to Oprah Winfrey. According to British rag mag News of the World, the show is scheduled to air in early 2008. "He wants to give his side and show the world he is a good father and concerned ex-husband. It's a huge step but he could turn around the public's view that he was the reason behind Britney's meltdown."

I'm not sure Oprah would allow this sort of thing. Dr. Phil has gone the way of Jerry Springer-esque shows with his paternity tests and countless shows about messed up families, but Oprah? Doubtful. I'm not holding my breath.

Kerry Katona: "My Hubby's More Romantic Than David Beckham"

Karen — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 11:02:00 GMT

I miss being a 20-something. Some of us sure think we know everything during that decade. Kerry Katona, 27, is no exception. She thinks the fact that David Beckham sends Victoria a yellow rose every day is not a great expression of his love.

'The most romantic thing Mark and I do for each other is tell each other we love each other about 50 times a day,' says Kerry, 27.

'I think that means a lot more than buying things for each other and all that.' She went on to say that the yellow rose means infidelity. MEOW!

In another blast against Beckham, she was furious with Beckham's accidental walk through the paparazzi during a walkthrough for jurors in the Princess Diana inquest, 'It looked like she was trying to steal the show,' Kerry rants.

'I can't believe she walked – with her entourage – straight in front of the world's paparazzi! It was so sad and desperate.'

Katona believes Posh purposely turned up in black dress and sunglasses to mimic the outfit the Princess wore on the evening she was killed in a car crash.

'She was even dressed like Diana 10 years ago. I think she's desperate to be Diana,' Kerry claims in OK! 'But she'll never be the People's Princess!'

Beckham's people maintain the incident was accidental and that Victoria would never do anything to disrespect the Princess.

Sounds like Katona needs to keep her mouth shut.

Kerry Katona Discusses Her Bi-Polar Disorder

Karen — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:04:00 GMT

Pregnant with her fourth child, former Atomic Kitten star, Kerry Katona openly discussed her bi-polar disorder after appearing in an interview with Andrew Castle on GMTV. During the interview where she was acting peculiar, it was rumored she was on drugs. She takes Effexor for bi-polar disorder to keep her "on a level and sane" but denies any use of street drugs.

"Yes, I am on drugs. It's my bipolar medication, it's nothing else, I'm pregnant for God's sake," she remarked, explaining that nervousness, dry mouth and fatigue are side effects of Effexor.

The 27-year-old added: "When I was on GMTV, I was suffering from a bit of nerves but that also was to do with the fact that I haven't done telly for so long."

House: Hugh Laurie Struggles With Depression

Karen — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 11:06:00 GMT

I love me some Dr. House. As it turns out though, his intense demeanor on-screen is very real. He agonizes over every scene, saying, “I’m too neurotic and too anal and too convinced that we’re going to fail to relax. Every show we do, every scene we shoot, is a disaster, I’m convinced of it. “I go home at the end of the day and my head is full of all the mistakes I’ve made. “I beat myself up about what I’ve stuffed up the day before,” he added. “I’m looking for things to go wrong. I’m not rejoicing or lying back and enjoying it.”

The overnight success of the show has 'drained him,' he admitted candidly in an interview with the Sydney Daily Telegraph. Laurie is being treated for "mild depression," and recently took an emergency trip home to London, where his wife, Jo, and their three children, Charlie, Bill and Rebecca, reside. At the time, a show rep said that “Hugh had family obligations in England to attend to, but production is continuing in his absence.”

That's unfortunate, though I'm glad to hear he's managing it. His depth as a character shines through, so it's too bad that he's feeling so poorly about it.
