Reliable news source In Touch is reporting that a witness saw Britney in a restaurant bathroom with a purse full of pills, including antidepressant Paxil and the antianxiety drug Xanax. Britney is said to have popped a Xanax right in front of everyone. You’re probably not supposed to mix those drugs, and you’re definitely not supposed to drink with them. At least they’re legal if she has a prescription for them:

On November 27 Britney dined at Dan Tana’s restaurant in West Hollywood - where she was also spotted carrying a glass of red wine out to her car before taking the wheel - and during a visit to the powder room a fellow diner caught a glimpse inside her handbag.

The source told In Touch Weekly magazine: “It looked like a pharmacy in there - I have never seen so many pills.

“There was a bottle of Paxil, an antidepressant, and a bottle of Xanax, which treats anxiety, that she took out and put on the counter.”

The directions for both these drugs state they should not be mixed with alcohol.

Taking some medication isn’t that damning. I mean Britney never goes home so she has to take her meds somewhere. She shouldn’t be drinking too, and driving, and neglecting her kids, but whatever. I was going to mention something about breastfeeding, but it’s not prohibited while you’re on Paxil and that seems to be a non-issue with little miss vag.

Oh I read a doubtful rumor yesterday that Britney was in talks to design her own panty line. She name-dropped Victoria’s Secret on her website, so it’s possible.

There’s also this explosive news that K-Fed is accusing Britney of banging Mario Lopez when she hung out in Vegas with him one weekend. According to The National Enquirer (as reported by Splash News, and it must be the print version because it’s not on their website) K-Fed says that Britney bragged about how she slept with Lopez, and that she spent a whole weekend holed up with him in a Vegas hotel:

Mario Lopez and Britney Spears met in the high rollers lounge at The Palms Casino when Britney was in town recording some tracks for her new album. This chance meeting led to a two day sex romp in Britney’s hotel room.

Honestly, I don’t know if any of this is true because they story comes from someone in Kevin Federline’s camp but here are some highlights of the story:

Kevin Federline is demanding that his baby son Jayden James is blood-tested to see if hard-partying Britney is putting him at risk by breastfeeding.

When she was introduced to Mario, she giggled, ‘I’ve heard so much about you.’ Mario replied, ‘I hope it was good.’ With a wicked grin, Britney said, ‘Oh, yes, it was very good.’

The pair headed to Moon nightclub where they put on a show on the dance floor. Britney was drinking a lot (of course) and her dancing with Mario became more and more suggestive. The two of them put on quite a show for the other patrons.

Afterwards, K-Fed heard that Mario was going around saying that Britney cried at the oddest time (gross).

Kevin says that Britney threw out that Mario was ‘better’ than he was (duh!)

And he said he wouldn’t be surprised if Britney slept with someone she just met - because that’s exactly what happened when he met Britney. (way to label your soon-to-be ex-wife and mother of your two kids a whore)

If this is true Lopez didn’t waste time moving on. He was seen kissing and groping his “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Karina Smirnoff.

K-Fed tried to declare that he’s up right up there with Osama with an on-stage stunt that was more hackneyed than anything Barbra Streisand could come up with. He had a member of his legion of hangers-on ask him during a performance at Hollywood’s House of Blues “Why does America hate you?”

Federline made the statement during a performance at Hollywood’s House of Blues Wednesday night.

Since the pair separated earlier this month, the 28-year-old has been vilified in the press as a gold-digging freeloader, capitalizing on his wife’s success and wealth.

But a packed house turned out to see a resilient Federline perform tracks from his debut album, Playing with Fire.

After lashing out at his detractors — shouting from the stage, “[Bleep] the haters, [bleep] the media, [bleep] the paparazzi” — Federline adapted lyrics to one of his songs. When a member of his entourage asked onstage, “Why does America hate you?” he replied, “Maybe because I took their queen. I am America’s most hated.”

At least he’s trying to capitalize on his punchline status and wants to turn himself into some sort of bad ass martyr. That seems kind of clever of him, but he’s just giving people more fodder to make fun of him. He further shows how out of touch he is by declaring Britney “queen.”

K-Fed has issued a statement via his lawyer that there is no Britney sex tape. I was willing to believe in it since they released that piece of crap Chaotic in which they bragged about how great their cringe-worthy sex was, so of course they taped it. Either Kevin is telling the truth or he’s afraid of getting screwed in the settlement. Britney’s prenup is so good that he’s relying on using the kids as pawns and has to get in her good graces if he wants hush money.

Kevin Federline’s attorney is denying reports that Federline is trying to sell a sex tape he allegedly made with estranged wife Britney Spears.

“There is not a sex video of Kevin and Britney in existence,” Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, says in a statement issued Tuesday.

“It goes without saying that the stories of Kevin attempting to sell such a video are patently false and anyone who reports that they have information of such attempts is either lying or reporting the lie of someone else,” the statement continues.

I e-mailed the PR person at betus.com four days ago when the news broke that K-Fed wanted to distribute the tape through them. They never got back to me, so someone might have made that up for the publicity or it could have been true and they didn’t want to issue a statement about it. Maybe the deal fell through or FedEx realized that he would get more money off of Britney if he kept that crap under wraps.

There’s still the rumor that Kevin is planning a tell-all book, but just like the “non-existent” sex tape, he’ll probably wait on that until the divorce check clears. His lawyer says that he can’t respond to all the rumors about Federline, but that most of them are false. How hard would it be to issue a list of false rumors? That’s like a half an hour more work. Given lawyers’ rates, though, FedEx must not be able to afford it.

K-Fed was spotted outside of Nobu restaurant on 11/17 with this random fugly woman. It’s possible he just met up with her outside the restaurant as he’s looking kind of incredulous and really high. He doesn’t seem to have left with her. Someone had to pay the check, though. [via]

All of the latest divorcing celebrity couples share one commonality - they have toddler children. In fact none of the splitting couples are childless and all of them have children between the ages of one to four.

Whenever celebrities get divorced I am particularly interested in their children - how many they have and what ages and genders they are. It struck me that nearly all of the recently-divorcing celebrities have children that are going through toddlerhood and probably bugging the hell out of them. (Along with doing plenty of cute things to soften the blow of random tantrums, like saying new words you know you never taught them.)

I’m not saying that the innocent toddlers were the causes of these Hollywood breakups, children are never to blame for a divorce. It’s just an interesting coincidence. Here are the latest celebrity splits along with the stats on their children.

Chris Rock and Maleek Rock: double toddler trouble
Chris Rock was said to have filed divorce papers in early November of this year, but that turns out not to be true. TMZ reports that Chris and Maleek seem to be giving their relationship of ten years another try. They were photographed out at a charity dinner together last week and have not made their divorce official. They have two toddler daughters, Lola, 4, and Zahra, 2.


Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson: two year-old son
Chris Robinson has finally filed for divorce from Kate Hudson after this unlikely Hollywood couple announced their separation in mid August. They have a two year-old son, Ryder, who is such a handful that they don’t even dare cut his hair.


Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe: one toddler son, an older daughter
Reese Witherspoon wasted no time filing divorce from Ryan Phillippe, who was presumed to be cheating on her with his younger co-star, Abbie Cornish. They announced their separation at the end of October and Reese made it official less than two weeks later. They have two children, Ava, 8, and Deacon, who just turned three.


Heather Mills and Paul McCartney: one toddler daughter
Heather Mills and Paul McCartney seem as ill-suited for each other as an evil harpy and beloved legendary rock star could be. They managed to procreate, though, and it was undoubtedly great sex that got them together in the first place. Their daughter, Beatrice, just turned three.


Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: one soon-to-be toddler, one newborn
What recent celebrity divorce list would be complete without Britney and K-Fed? I almost didn’t include them, though, because Sean Preston turned one in September and only just entered toddlerhood. According to the Wiki, toddlers are between one to three, or maybe two to five, so little SP counts.

These breakups during their children’s toddlerhood may serve a biological purpose. Anthropologists have found that couples typically break up when their children are toddlers, with a peak in breakups after four years together. Having seen their children through the vulnerable baby stage, they are free to find another mate and reproduce again, which is our biological imperative.

The four-year pattern, as well as a tendency to divorce at the height of one’s reproductive years, also makes sense from a sociological point of view. “For instance,” Fisher says, “a prehistoric male who ‘divorced’ his partner after seeing one offspring through infancy would have had the opportunity to pick a younger ’spouse’ more capable of bearing and raising babies. A female might leave one mate to ‘marry’ a better provider for her and her forthcoming children.”

Notable recent celebrity divorces that did not involve toddlers include Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, Eminem and Kim Mathers, and Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear. Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards have two toddlers, though, and I didn’t include them since their split is old news.

Britney was seen in the trash capital of the world back to her good old self. Her terribly obvious extensions were back and she wore a ted-up black sheer half-top with a red bra underneath. True to form, she had a mouth full of gum. Hair and makeup artists praised Britney for her willingness to submit to their expertise before her last Letterman appearance, but that was obviously short-lived.

Lainey’s Gossip has the highlights of the Britney divorce as told in US Weekly, including news that K-Fed wrote an asanine letter to Britney blaming her for all their problems, and that Britney’s mom Lynne is said to have staged an intervention urging Britney to dump K-Fed once and for all. It’s also rumored that she’s going to be collaborating with Justin Timberlake’s people:

Lynne Spears engineered the split and according to the magazine, staged an intervention along with Britney’s lawyer to snap her out of her Cheeto Haze.

Clearly it worked.

And when Britney snaps outta it, she’s snaps HARD. The revived Spears quickly put her plan in motion, cut off his phone, his cards, everything immediately, and then moved to pull her career back on track, with early buzz that she could have her album out perhaps by Spring. As for those reports of a professional collaboration with Pipsqueak?

Well, Janice Min’s folks say he could write a song for her with some of the biggest producers in Hollywood helping out on a few tracks. Can you imagine? Britney homewrecks on the No-Longer-Hermy Diaz??

She’s BACK, y’all!!!

More interesting highlights:

- Kevin claims he’s suing for custody not for money (bull-f*cking-shit you golddigging liar) but because he doesn’t think Britney is “mentally” sound enough to raise his kids. I guess having a ciggie dangling from his punk ass mouth is superb parenting, right?

- Kevin kept putting his wife down, making fun of her new and improved appearance

- Kevin wrote her a letter blaming HER for all of their problems

- Kevin was pissed that she owned all their attention, telling her she was holding back his success

Good for Britney. She’ll be back on stage performing in no time, and I’d like to see who she hooks up with next. Maybe she’ll do a complete 180 and pick a super nice, clean-cut guy.

Britney was photographed outside the Palms hotel in Vegas on 11/17 with her manager, Larry Rudolph, and some bodyguards. Thanks to BreatheHeavy.com for posting these.

Kevin Federline is reportedly in talks with online gambling site BetUs.com to distribute the Britney Spears sex tape online for $29.99 a download. BetUs members will get to download it for free:

BetUS.com executives announced that they are in the midst of negotiations with singer/dancer Kevin Federline’s manager, Brian Bunnin of I.C.M., for the rights to the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline four-hour “sex tape” which is said to make “One Night in Paris” look like a children’s cartoon.

The popular online sportsbook, which counts over a hundred thousand members in the United States alone, was catapulted to head of the bidding line due to direct contact with “K-Fed’s” camp, and negotiations for an exclusive online distribution deal are in the works.

Financial arrangements of the deal could not be made available pending final approval by BetUS.com investors; however, BetUS.com believes that with the popularity of Britney, she will out-sell Paris two times over.

“After the Paris tape dropped and became a huge hit, you would think Britney would have gotten rid of the tape,” said BetUS.com spokesperson, Christopher Bennett. “Wasn’t this the same girl who not too long ago came out and said she was a virgin? I wonder how many tapes she’s made? We could have a series.”

BetUS.com intends to offer the video free-of-charge to their customers. Non BetUS.com customers will have to pay $29.95 for the right to rip the video onto their own hard drives or video devices.

This story was on another gambling website, and there does not seem to be a press release or any information about it on the BetUs.com website. I e-mailed the PR team at BetUs to confirm this story, but did not get a response yet. I will update this post if they get back to me.

Given all the details about the gambling site, it seems like it could be true - or it could have originated with a fake press release using a real company to add legitimacy to the claims. A lot of fake stories about dead celebrities originate with press releases, and since I can’t find this on the BetUs website I don’t believe it yet.

This Christopher Bennet person is real spokesperson for BetUs, but I wouldn’t put it past someone to make up quotes. We’ll have to see what they say about it.

Kevin Federline filed for sole custody of his two young children, which seems like a bold move considering his lifestyle. He seems to feel that Britney is a bad mother. Remember when she drove with Sean Preston in her lap? Or when she was cruising in her convertible with his car seat facing the wrong way? Unfortunately those incidents did happen, but I think they could happen to anyone. I think Federline is crazy, another publicity stunt perhaps.

The former dancer countersued Spears one day after she filed for divorce, asking for sole physical and legal custody of children Sean Preston, 14 months and Jayden James, 2 months.

Federline may use Spears’ series of very public parenting mishaps against her, including an incident earlier this year where she drove with Sean Preston on her lap and another where she had him in his car safety seat facing the wrong way.

According to Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, “Kevin feels he is a great parent and acting solely in the best interest of his children. He’s not doing this for the money.

“Kevin is prepared to go the distance in order to protect and safeguard the children and will not be dissuaded or intimidated from the pursuit of these goals.”

Federline also has two children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, Kori, 4, and Kaleb, 2.

According to Jackson, she doesn’t receive any child support from Federline, but he does pay for the children’s private school costs.

Spears’ grandfather, June Austin Spears has lashed out at Federline telling Star magazine, “Why didn’t he try and get custody of his other kids?

“It’s because that other woman doesn’t have money, and Britney has money.”

A porn bigwig who put the Colin Farrel sex tape online says that he was contacted by a believable individual (*cough* K-Fed *cough) about distributing a digital tape of K-Fed and Britney going at it. He claims that the person who called him knew enough details and insider information to make it seem like a legitimate offer.

He also says that the footage of Britney doing the nasty is worth about four times as much as Paris Hilton’s night-vision atrocity:

“Two days after Britney filed for divorce I was contacted by an individual [who] indicated that he had a digital video of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline having sex,” David Hans Schmidt — the man who’s brokered deals over compromising photos and footage of such stars as Collin Farrell and Jamie Foxx — tells the Star. “This gentleman knew enough names and identified enough parties involved to indicate that the tape could exist!” According to Schmidt, the tape was supposedly shot before Spears and Federline were married in 2004.

If the tape does exist, it would be a hit in the porn world. Schmidt says it could make $200 million and “would smash Paris Hilton’s sex tape sales [upward of $50 million] like an Oreo cookie!”

That video of a Britney lookalike giving a way too professional BJ is said to be fake, and it doesn’t seem like it’s her since she had black hair in the video and this sex tape was supposedly made when she was on her honeymoon. It could be a red herring, though, and just because that one is fake doesn’t mean there’s not a real sex tape that rivals Pam and Tommy’s video.

If this is true K-Fed is sure to sell that tape soon. He’s writing shit on the walls about Britney, and will relish releasing that crap to the world. We too will relish downloading it and talking smack about it for weeks.

There are new candids of Britney in her hometown in the deep south available at Celebrity Baby Scoop.

From my extensive analysis of K-Fed’s signature on the legal paperwork acknowledging their fake wedding, I can say that I truly believe that this scrawled message found in his dressing room at the House of Blues is indeed from Kevin Federline. US Weekly, who have the exclusive on this fine find, say that his signature also matches a signed K-Fed poster they have hanging in their break room:

Rapper and noted prose stylist Kevin Federline, 28, took up his Sharpie and left behind a love note* on the shower door of his dressing room at the House of Blues in Chicago, where he performed November 8. The message, written the day after wife Britney Spears, 24, filed for divorce, reads:

Today I’m a free man
Ladies look out
F–k a wife
Give me my kids B-tch!
–Kevin Federline

That’s really going to make him look good in court.

The NY Post reports that Britney cut off K-Fed’s cell phone and credit cards, and that he was spotted scarfing down free food at a strip joint that inexplicably comped him and his entire poser posse. K-Fed asked for tons of food to take home with him and even tried to sneak out liquor bottles under his jacket.

At first I thought “What establishment would be dumb enough to comp K-Fed?” and then I realized that it was pretty media savvy of them to do so and they probably planted a snitch next to him and called up Page Six themselves for the free publicity.
