Britney Spears fires her nanny


Britney Spears decided to get rid of her nanny as a result of Sean Preston’s supposed fall from a high chair:

The singer made the decision to get rid of little Sean Preston’s keeper in the wake of the child falling from his highchair, according to In Touch Weekly.

Britney has been “hiding out and depressed” since her son’s head-bonking incident and cancelled plans to celebrate her brother Bryan’s birthday, the mag reports. “She wanted to be a mother and thought she could snap her fingers and be the perfect mom,” a “pal” told the mag. “But Britney is learning the hard way that being a good mother is something you always have to work at.”

Britney also asked for a doctor’s advice, who told her not to put Sean Preston up “on any high surfaces where he could roll off.” Yeah, that’s not common sense or anything. Britney wanted to hire the doctor full time, but he declined. He must have realized that trading in a medical practice to become a nanny to celebrity isn’t a wise career move.

MSNBC’s The Scoop goes on to attribute Britney’s non-attendance at Kevin’s show last week to her fear of leaving the baby alone with the neglectful nanny. We heard a few different versions, which we reported earlier. One had Kevin asking Britney to stay away so that he could get all the attention and another had Britney jealous that Kevin had asked Paris Hilton to come to the show. Either of those sound more likely.

Maybe Britney will snap out of it soon and take charge of her life. If she’s really pregnant, she’ll need to get her act together so that she can care for two babies. She’ll need to be more responsible even if she does get better staff.

Here’s Britney and her nanny in some pictures from late February.

Update: here’s a link to an Us Weekly scanned article about Sean Preston’s accident.

Britney is really pregnant now - maybe


So Us Weekly is claiming that Britney is like, 100% pregnant.

Britney Spears, 24, couldn’t hide her pregnancy any longer when she showed up poolside at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas this weekend, sporting a red bikini and a serious bump. The singer is expecting her second child with husband Kevin Federline, 28, sources have confirmed to Us

They have a picture of Britney covered up while holding Sean Preston as proof, and will presumably publish some of her in the bikini in their print edition.

We’re not believing it until we see it for certain. It still seems like a recycled rumor.

Here’s the back of Britney’s head as she drives a mini cooper convertible. She is working on her new album with the guy in the passenger seat. [via]

K-Fed told Britney not to come to his show


We were right that K-Fed’s jealousy of Britney’s fame is what kept her from his concert. Kevin is said to have told Britney over dinner to stay away from his show at Pure nightclub last Friday, even though she was planning on coming and was already in Vegas to support him:

The fledgling rapper, who is desperate to kick-start his music career, is said to have ordered his pop singer spouse to stay away from the showcase, at which he played two songs from his forthcoming debut album, ‘Playing With Fire’, over fears she would “upstage” him.

The ‘Toxic’ singer - who has a son, Sean Preston, with 28-year-old Federline - is said to have been devastated after he broke the news to her on a dinner date at plush Las Vegas restaurant Nero.

One onlooker said: “It was a full-blown war of words. It was a very bad night for Britney.

“Kevin didn’t want Britney overshadowing him on the red carpet. Britney fled the restaurant and raced up to her suite alone, boycotting his performance.”

Britney was seen fleeing to her suite in tears. An earlier report had Britney jealous that Federline had invited Paris Hilton to come, (although Paris sent her parents instead) but it makes more sense that K-Fed’s jealousy is what kept her away. Earlier rumors had the couple fighting over the fact that K-Fed thought that Brtiney stole his thunder at his performances.

Kevin Federline cannot rap and would have no career if it wasn’t for his talented wife. He was said to have turned down an earlier offer from Britney to get professional production help on his album. He’s a fool for not accepting Britney’s support, and for telling her to stay away from his shows. She will hopefully come to her senses and leave him soon.

Britney Spears skips out on husband K-Fed’s listening party


TMZ reported that Britney Spears planned to attend the listening party for her husband Kevin Federline’s excuse for a rap album at Pure nightclub in Las Vegas this past Friday.

It promises be the musical event of the year, in a way. Kevin Federline is hosting a listening party this Friday at posh Las Vegas nightclub Pure. Inevitably a large contingent of K-Fed’s scruffy hangers-on and his C-list music producers will be in attendance.

But in an interesting turn of supportive wifeliness, Britney Spears is planning to attend and has even gone so far as to put 11 of her own friends on the guest lists for the party, sources say.

The pictures have come out from the event, and Britney is nowhere to be found. Is she fed up with K-Fed? We reported on Saturday that she was said to be enraged with Kevin when seven month-old Sean Preston fell off the couch when Kevin was supposed to be watching him. Sources say this may have been the fall that fractured the baby’s skull, not the incident with the highchair.

Britney may have stayed away because Kevin asked her to. The couple was said to be fighting over the fact that Britney gets all the attention at events promoting Kevin. The last time they made a public appearance together was at a belated birthay party for Kevin on March 25th.

Britney is also said to feel threatened by reports that her ex-bodyguards plan to dish the dirt on her, which could include allegations of drug use and details of her sloppy lifestyle.

Here is K-Fed looking like a royal ass at his show on Friday. [via]

Update: Britney may have been pissed that Kevin asked Paris Hilton to come to the party. Paris didn’t attend, and sent her parents instead. Another report has Britney and Kevin arguing in Vegas before the gig, with Britney crying before she went back to their suite.

Britney Spears is living in fear


Britney Spears’ seven month-old son, Sean Preston, has fallen several times according to sources close to Kevin and Britney. He’s said to have fallen off the bed twice and off the couch at least once.

When seven-month-old Sean toppled out of his high chair and fractured his scalp it wasn’t his first fall, an ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered.

Twice before, says a source, the baby has rolled off of the pop princess’ bed and crashed to the floor. Doctors say Sean could suffer brain seizures or memory loss for years to come.

Both times Britney freaked out when she was wakened by the sound of her little boy screaming,” said an insider. “She found him lying face down on the floor after falling from the bed.”It was every mother’s nightmare come true. She was so afraid he was hurt. The first time it happened, Sean was just over three months old. Fortunately the floor in Britney and Kevin’s bedroom is carpeted and the baby was frightened but uninjured.

“But two weeks later, the same scary thing happened again. Once again Britney woke to find the little guy face down on the floor, crying his heart out. This time she was shaken to the core.”

Another article states that Sean Preston also rolled off the couch when Kevin was supposed to be watching him, outraging Britney:

Despite the high-chair fall claim that was released last week, the magazine reports that they have heard from multiple insiders and they have told Life & Style that that based on the accounts of Spears family members and Kevin himself, they claim — Sean may have injured himself after rolling off a couch in the same room where Kevin and his friends were at the time.

“When Britney came to the door, she heard a thump and then Sean Preston screaming,” says one insider. Brit immediately blamed Kevin, telling him, “You’ve been nothing but trouble for me ever since I met you.”

Kids fall, and my son rolled off the couch at that age when I was actually watching him. It wasn’t that far and he seemed fine, but it was scary. Of course when a child falls more than a couple of times it is cause for alarm, especially when the baby ends up with fractured skull! Kevin probably wasn’t paying attention to Sean Preston at all, and he deserves much more than a few harsh words from Britney.

Now Britney is said to be afraid of losing Sean since she’s in the system with the Department of Children and Family Services. Considering how poorly the agency handled abuse claims against Michael Jackson, Britney doesn’t seem to have much to worry about.

Britney has received a lot of bad press for driving with her baby in her lap and getting investigated by social services. An online poll in Us Weekly found that only 27% of the people who responded would let their kids play at Britney’s house.

Here are pictures of Britney out shopping without Sean Preston yesterday. TMZ has a video of Britney walking to her car. The person videotaping asks “Is everything ok with Sean?” and she nods yes and gets in the car.

If you look closely you can see that she’s wearing a locket with a little picture of Sean Preston on it.

Britney Spears in talks for new TV series


Britney Spears has met with Will and Grace producers to discuss an ongoing role in school-based sitcom, “Detention”:

The 24-year-old attended the meeting to talk about a role in an ensemble sitcom about teachers, tentatively titled Detention.

During the two-hour meeting in late February, the singer read lines from a script and confessed she was “aching to give acting a go,” according to Us Weekly magazine.

Spears guest starred alongside Hayes on Will & Grace last month, appearing as a conservative talk show host.
A source close to the actor says, “Having seen the way Britney works, he knows she has potential.”

One of the producers’ main concerns was that the pop star was pregnant with her second child.

The source adds, “First, she laughed and said, ‘Do I look it?’ Then she assured them that she wouldn’t jeopardize a new project.

Britney is said to be very interested and is looking forward to the project. We don’t think she can act, but it’s likely she’ll get the role anyway.

Meanwhile Britney is said to be pushing K-Fed to enroll in charm school, but he predictably doesn’t want to go:

A friend of the couple tells In Touch that Britney, 24, wants Kevin to enroll in a “charm school” workshop with Beverly Hills therapist Dr. Irene Kassorla. “Kevin is in dire need of a makeover,” their pal adds. “This class could be just what the doctor ordered. It’s Chivalry 101!”
But making him over won’t be easy. “Kevin is fighting her on this,” the friend says. “He cut back on his partying and cut his hair for her. But going to therapy to turn him into a gentleman is not something he is excited about.”
But Britney still hopes that with a little effort–and a bit of education–her frog may someday turn into a prince.

You can’t change a guy, Britney, that’s why you don’t marry the guys you date in your early twenties.

Here are a bunch of different looks that Britney has sported recently, as shown on People Online. [via]

Britney Spears cleared of child endangerment charges


Nothing came of the recent Department of Children and Family Services investigation into Sean Preston’s skull fracture. The case was dropped immediately after case workers questioned the Spears-Federlines. (In what is probably an oversight, The Sun spells Federlines last name wrong in the way that we all do to make fun of him.)

Social service investigators were automatically called after the singer took SEAN PRESTON to hospital with the injury.

But after quizzing Britney and hubby KEVIN SPENDERLINE, authorities ruled it was an accident.

Britney’s lawyer Marty Singer said: “They determined that the parents were not involved in any injury and that nothing improper was done within the home.”

Doctors say the seven-month-old is lucky to be alive after plunging three feet on to his head when his high chair snapped on April 1. He was being looked after by his nanny at the star’s home in Malibu.

From what I know, Child Services can take months to investigate a case. They must have closed this one right away because it was Britney’s baby.

Here is Kevin Federline in Century City, California on April 11th.

Britney Spears investigated for Sean’s skull fracture


Britney is being investigated by the Department of Children and Family Services. It was initially thought that the visit was due to the incident where she was photographed driving with Sean Preston in her lap, but it turns out that there’s a potentially scarier situation with Sean Preston.

According to The Insider, at around 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 8, a Sheriff’s Deputy from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department accompanied investigators from the Department Of Children and Family Services to the Malibu home of Britney Spears

A source tells Us that the Sheriff’s visit was part of the ongoing investigation into allegations that Spears drove a car while her baby, Sean Preston, sat on her lap. “It was part of the child endangerment investigation,” says the source, who adds that Britney was told ahead of time by her lawyers that the DFCS would be paying a visit. “She knew they were coming. It was all standard.” Source says that Spears’ attorneys do not Britney to be prosecuted. “It’s all political. They have to do [the investigation].”

We assumed it was just a routine visit too, until we read that Star is reporting that poor Sean Preston has a fractured skull!

On April 7, when Britney Spears and Kevin Federline realized that their baby, Sean Preston, had been sleeping more than usual, panic bells went off. Just six days earlier, the 7-month-old had taken a major fall from his high chair, a tumble that had his parents worried that he might have been critically injured.

They had every right to fret. After rushing Sean to a nearby hospital, they discovered he had a minor skull fracture (sometimes called a “scalp fracture” in babies), and a blood clot. And the doctors weren’t the only ones to take notice! The next day, the Department of Children and Family Services began looking into the incident.

That’s scary and it’s hopefully just due to the highchair fall. We learned on Law and Order that child abuse is usually committed by the father. We’re just saying.

Britney not even a little bit sexy


Britney is getting all sorts of bad press this week. First she is supposedly stress-eating, and was told by her record company to shape up or risk her career:

According to Aussie tabloid, NW, Britney’s label has told her “to lose weight and clean up her image or her career will be over.” However the same newspaper has reported that Britney is trying got blot out her unhappiness with food.

A source said: “[Britney] went to the supermarket one day and loaded up on chips and all sorts of chocolate
bars. She brought it all home and has been chowing down like there’s no tomorrow…”

“She’s been so depressed over Kevin and the state of her marriage that all she wants to do is eat to stop the pain.”

Poor Britney. It must be hard to be married to Federjerk, and hopefully she’ll find a more constructive way to deal with her stress.

She also isn’t even in the top 100 of FHM’s sexiest women this year, and one of Kevin’s exes (not Shar Jackson) has said that she better shape up or she’ll lose Kevin. Maybe that’s why she’s taking her time about it.

Britney has a new single which you can partially hear online. You can download a 50 second mp3 of “Just Yesterday” from breatheheavy.com.

Here is Britney dancing to her new song. The video says it’s called “Little Me,” but it is credited as “Just Yesterday” on breatheheavy.com, and is supposed to be about her sister. She’s still got the moves and the song is lovely.

Kevin Federline feels lame because his wife is so much better than him


Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are reportedly fighting because KFed feels that Britney steals all the attention at events promoting his album. Both Star Magazine and Life and Style report that Federline feels lame because he can’t get any recognition on his own. The gossip rags have a similar take on Kevin’s promotional appearance at Club X in Dallas on April 1st.

Life and Style reports:

But the crowd responded differently when Britney Spears arrived. “Kevin performed a few songs live from the DJ booth,” Mike Esterman, who booked the party, tells Life & Style.

“But when Britney walked in, the crowd went crazy.”

“It’s always about Britney — or Britney and Kevin as a couple — but these events are about Kevin,” says a K-Fed insider, who adds that Kevin arrived at the club solo to keep the spotlight on him only. (Brit arrived about half an hour later.) “I’m not even sure Kevin thought she was coming, because he was just focusing on himself.”

And Star says:

“Kev wanted Brit to back off some,” a club insider tells Star People.

“He didn’t want her there to steal his thunder. He feels that whenever Britney is around, she inevitably gets all the attention. However, a source close to Britney, 24, says she’s the one who’s mad, thanks to Kevin, 28, and his oversize ego.

“What he doesn’t seem to understand,” the source fumes, “is that the only reason anyone is interested in him is because he’s Britney Spears’ husband. He would not have an album if it weren’t for Britney.”

While Britney’s right about being the bigger star, she has mistaken ideas about where she should focus her efforts. She seems to think her forgettable drop-in appearance on Will and Grace is the beginning of an actual acting career:

In Touch Weekly reports that after that recent performance on “Will and Grace” Spears is hoping to become a TV star. The reviews weren’t pretty - and the weekly magazine displays [some] in their Friday edition.

“She hasn’t stretched this much since she took on the role of impressive pop singer.”
— Neal Justin, staff writer, Minneapolis Star Tribune

“She has no presence, she struck awkward poses in terribly unflattering outfits and the drawl wasn’t very convincing.”
— Matt Roush, senior TV critic, tvguide.com

In case you doubt these negative reviews, you can watch Britney’s “acting” for yourself. She is a bigger star than her husband - but she’s a pop singer, not an actress:
