Britney Spears is said to be furious with her husband K-Fed for feeding stories about the couple to his scumbag friends to sell to the tabloids:

K-Fed is also said to have spent a whopping $300,000 on a watch without asking Britney if it was ok first. It may have been his money, since he made just that amount for a Japanese tour, but all his other purchases were clearly bankrolled by Britney. He has two cars, a Ferrari with custom “Federline” detailing, and a brand new Maserati. He couldn’t afford to even lease the cars for a couple of months if it wasn’t for Britney.

There’s also a rumor that Britney is making Kevin stay in the basement of their California mansion, but another rumor has him kicked out already.

Let’s hope the divorce is announced soon and Britney can move on with her life and her career.

Here she is with a guy who is definitely the Manny, and we now know his name is “Perry.” Aww. (Thanks xiaoecho for the tip.)

Britney has been seen out with a cute young guy toting Sean Preston around, and we breathlessly reported Thursday that she’s rumored to be dating her record producer, J.R. Rotem, and this may or may not be him. The guy was named as J.R. Rotem in earlier pictures of the two out getting coffee last week. Some people are still saying he’s the record producer, while most claim he’s the manny:

Lainey’s Gossip says that it’s Rotem and that he’s so fond of Brit he’s wearing the Baby Bjorn. They also claim Britney has a schoolgirl crush on her helpful producer, which is why she’s been wearing bright red lipstick and making an effort with her appearance.

In the only pictures we could find of Rotem, he looks similar to Britney’s help, but it doesn’t seem like the same guy. Britney was also photographed in her car with a guy said to be Rotem on 4/24 - before she canned her old nanny - and his hair is darker than this new guy.

If that is really producer J.R. Rotem, he’s hanging out with Britney a lot and is going above and beyond by wearing the Baby Bjorn. We doubt it’s the same guy.

If that’s the Manny, he’s not observant enough since Sean Preston is chewing on a piece of paper in the pictures below.

As to Britney’s crush/affair and to whom it’s with - the truth may be somewhere in between. She’s taking better care of herself, and it could be due to the influence of her new male nanny. She also has had more public appearances lately, it’s spring, and she’s recording a new album. She’s ready to dump K-Fed and her dumpy self.

Britney has reportedly kicked her husband K-Fed out of the couple’s California mansion. He hasn’t been photographed with Britney in weeks, and she’s been all over the place looking halfway decent with a new guy who bears a resemblance to her record producer. No wonder people say she’s having an affair.

Thanks Millie!

Pictures are from May 25th and May 27th. [via] Only the first two pictures are high res.

Update: This manny’s name is actually Perry, he’s got a girlfriend and is not having an affair with Britney as far as we can tell, and you can read more about him here.

That guy holding Sean Preston in those pictures last week wasn’t the new nanny - he was Britney’s producer, JR Rotem. OK! magazine says they’re having an affair and that the baby may be his and not K-Feds!:

If it’s true that’s great news for Britney, and the support from her new boyfriend should help her dump Kevin! She reposted that poem damning K-Fed on her website, and everyone is saying that it means she’s ready to go public with the break. The two haven’t been seen together in weeks.

Here she is with her new boyfriend outside of a Starbucks in Malibu yesterday. Look how he holds the door open for her!

Update: Rotem is also working with K-Fed on his album, so it makes this a little harder to believe. Rotem has discussed Britney and Kevin’s struggle with the hoardes of paparrazi that follow them and seems to feel sorry for the couple.

Also, I’m not sure it’s Rotem in these pictures. Here is a picture of JR Rotem. Do you think it’s the same guy? It could be an older picture of him. The nose and facial features are similar, but I’m just not sure.

Britney almost dropped baby Sean Preston this week, and you’ve probably already seen the pictures and video, below. She had a terrible week in the press, and ABC News discusses how she needs to revamp her image by laying low and staying out of the spoltlight for a while. (It also wouldn’t hurt if she would wear clothing that doesn’t reveal both her bra and underwear at the same time.)

Britney should take a lesson from Kobe Bryant, who was accused of much worse than stupid parenting, in order to revamp her public image:

Britney’s latest foibles aren’t as damning as driving with SP in her lap. It just seems like she’s tired and fed up and it’s reflected in her parenting skills. From the video below, you can see how she could get frustrated and stumble with all those people swarming around her. Of course she should have put down the glass, but she doesn’t even know which way to walk and looks pretty dazed.

I’m not defending Britney, but I have a husband who’s around and loves to spend time with his son and I have some Britney moments. My son, 20 months, sometimes refuses to get dressed or wear shoes. He throws a huge fit and it can be impossible to get him out of the house. The other day I said screw it and let him go out in his bare feet. The nosy neighbor came out on her porch and made fun of him and I thought “If that bitch only knew what I went through to get him outside.” Maybe Britney feels that way too. If you read her new “song” to K-Fed, you can tell how exasperated she is. Even mothers with loving husbands can relate to baby burnout.

Right after the incident, Britney says “This is why I need a gun.” She must want to clear away some of the paparrazi who she probably blames for the stumble. She doesn’t need to kill anyone, she just needs to get away from photographers. Judging from Angelina Jolie’s success in changing public policy of an entire African nation, it’s possible but not easily done.

Yesterday was a big day for Britney Spears. She posted a new “song” on her official website briefly that was an obvious condemnation of her lazy hick husband, and then she was videotaped and photographed nearly dropping her eight month-old baby, Sean Preston, while walking in NYC.

TMZ had a video of the incident up on their site, but just like the new song on Britney’s site it is curiously missing now. You can get the gist from the pictures, below:

Moms have to multi-task and I could see carrying a plastic water bottle that is easily discarded, but a highball glass? Those are the type of glasses in limos from our limited experience, but leave the damn thing in the car if you have to carry your baby! Plus Britney is wearing wedges, too long pants, and is pregnant. Man that is a bad combination.

The guy with the ’70s porn ’stash (we came up with this on our own, and noticed that IDLYITW said the same thing about him. Great minds.) who catches SP is on her staff because he’s seen in pictures of her elsewhere in NY. If she was alone she would have dropped the poor thing, but she probably wouldn’t have been carrying a highball glass while walking down the street, either. Oh Britney.

Thanks to In Case U Didn’t Know and Millie for pointing this out to us.

Britney’s website entrance was replaced for a little while with a sassy girlpower image of the singer and some friends flipping off the camera. There was also a new “song” on the site, with some obvious digs at K-Fed:

Maybe removing the image and song was a calculated move to have the blogs pick it up and carry the “Britney’s fed up” story, or maybe she really wanted this to remain on her site, and was advised against it. Regardless we all know how she feels now, and hope the news of a divorce is forthcoming.

Britney is shown arriving at a children’s Presbyterian hospital In NY yesterday.

In the “please let this be true” department is a story that Britney is so unhappy in her marriage to Kevin Federline that she wants a divorce.

From Life and Style via The Scoop comes news that she threw out his booze and wants to surpise him with divorce papers:

That rocks! Britney seems to have found her strength again with recent public appearances for her perfume line and on Letterman, and it looks like she’s not going to take any more crap from Kevin.

She would be much better off raising two kids on her own than having to put up with him. Britney was said to be furious when Sean Preston fell off the couch while K-Fed was supposed to be watching him, and that may have helped her realize how useless her husband is.

Meanwhile Kevin is quoted as saying that he wants out of the relationship, too:

Britney recently refused to fund any more expensive trips to Vegas for K-Fed and his friends, showing that she’s finally ready to put her foot down.

It looks like the end for these two, and we can’t wait! Go Britney.

Here she is outside of the Late Show studio yesterday.

Britney Spears is said to be fed up with her husband Kevin Federline’s spending, and has told him she won’t pay for any more expensive trips to Vegas for him and his friends:

This isn’t the first time Britney has been concerned with Kevin’s spending. She supposedly cut up his credit cards and had his Ferrari towed back in December, but quickly reneged.

This comes right after news that Britney hired a security guard babysitter for Kevin, further suggesting their relationship is on the rocks.

Here she is outside of a Taco Bell in LA and in a new magazine spread for Glamour UK. [via] It could be the wind blowing her top out, but she looks pretty pregnant.

Everyone was waiting with baited breath to see what Britney Spears would announce in her press conference yesterday. I even got up early to catch the news and was suprised that it wasn’t listed in the Google Entertainment News section yet.

It turns out that now our week of bullshit gossip news is complete, because the entire press conference was a hoax:

I googled “Karen Phillips” combined with either “Sony Music” or “Sony BMG” and logical variations like “Karyn,” “Caryn,” and “Philips” and got nothing about her - except for this supposed quote about the Britney press conference. There is a musician named Karen Phillips, but no “executive.” She is also not included on the Sony BMG site among the “executives” listing, although there are only four old white guys there, so there are probably plenty more executives there.

The bottom line is, this Karen Phillips person who was quoted about the press conference probably doesn’t exist.

Earlier in the week we found completely fabricated quotes about Katie Holmes’ fitness routine from someone we actually know.

It’s hard to determine where this press conference story originated, but clearly someone is making up quotes and it’s just spreading.

This is gossip, innuendo and rumor, so it’s not like it has to be held to a high standard of journalistic integrity. Still, there’s a huge difference between saying it’s your opinion that someone is pregnant or screwing so and so, and making up shit entirely and acting like it’s true. Too many of these stories are totally bogus.

Oh, and Britney fan site BreathHeavy.com reports that Britney and Kevin are going to renew their vows after Kevin promised Britney that he would change. They don’t have a source listed, though, and this doesn’t sound true to us. Not much does lately.

News reports are taking this out of context. Kevin Federline was being interviewed on Power 106 radio station in California and the DJs asked him to answer “questions out of the forbidden hat.” They told him he could “tap out” at any time, and that he didn’t have to answer a question if he didn’t want to. He said he wanted a threesome with Jessica Alba in response to a question, but that’s a no-brainer, and he didn’t even know her name.

We actually listed to this crap, and here’s what he said:

When questioned, he says that Britney is a better lover than Shar Jackson although he hesitates, and he also says Britney is a better dancer than him.

While it’s rather damning that Kevin would immediately admit that he’d pick his son over his wife and wouldn’t say it’s a hard decision, it’s not that unusual to want to save your helpless child over an adult.

Kevin says in a different interview that Britney supports his music career, and that he would probably give it up if she didn’t.

Britney’s big press conference for music industry executives is today. People are buzzing that she’ll announce a pregnancy, and that she’s having a baby girl, due in October.

You can listen to Kevin’s interview online. Here is the mp3. [via]

On April 13th, we reported that the Department of Children and Family Services announced that they closed their investigation into Sean Preston’s highchair fall accident. We mentioned that it seemed odd that they would close a case so soon, considering that it usually takes months for them to investigate. It turns out that we were right, because Britney will now receive regular visits from the child welfare agency. They have made careful statements saying there’s no “ongoing investigation,” but they’re still going to check in on her:

Seven month-old Sean was said to have suffered from a skull fracture, which may have occurred from a highchair fall or a reported fall off the couch when his father Kevin was supposed to be watching him. Sean Preston did not have a skull fracture or a blood clot, and those reports were false. He did suffer some kind of head injury that made him sleepy, though.

Britney is said to be five months pregnant with her second child. News reports went back and forth as to her pregnancy status, with the latest news stating that it’s true. When questioned about his wife’s pregnancy at a recent radio station appearance, Kevin said “I wouldn’t bet on it.”
