Britney Spears Gives Up Custody Of Kids

  • Britney Spears gave up custody of her two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline, retaining only visitation rights. The singer had been showing signs of steady mental and physical improvement, so it seemed odd she'd give up her custody battle so readily. Meanwhile, Spears' handlers keep trying to nudge her into making some more money for them, already. Sad.

  • After admitting she was stung by Maxim magazine calling her the "unsexiest woman in the world," Sarah Jessica Parker had her trademark mole removed.

    Kevin Federline: Good at Taking a Punch

    Rap music artist Kevin Federline (also Britney Spears's rodent-like ex-husband) is doing a three episode arc on the really, really bad CW series One Tree Hill. He's playing a struggling musician whom one of the characters latches onto and tries to help. To save you the indignity of actually sitting down and watching the show, here's a clip of Federline working his acting magic on last night's episode. It's just a terrific bonus that he happens to get punched in his squirrely little face. [Micah Jesse]

    Someone Is Trying To Kill Kevin Federline! Please Tell Him!

    T.V. "newsmagazine" ET has, they say, been working on a story "for the past two months" about how the FBI and the LAPD are investigating "a contract hit" on Kevin Federline, who is the useless flap of skin that used to be attached to Britney Spears. Um what? Also: "Multiple sources tell ET that the FBI made attempts to contact Federline to inform him of the potential danger." Do they need his phone? Couldn't they just like, tell Perez Hilton or something? And is this what took them two months: "When contacted, the FBI told us that the bureau cannot confirm or deny an investigation"? Yup. All that and still their headline is in the form of a question!

    Kevin Federline, Sperminal Mastermind

    Post gossip dowager Cindy Adams claws her way out of the casket this morning to float the following rumor about Kevin Federline and Britney Spears. Apparently, Britney wants Kevin back! But there's more!
    [T]his pure speculation is rooted only in the fact that these people with whom I was talking closely watch and monitor those people about whom we were speaking. Since Kevin, who formerly played house with Shar Jackson, unmarried mama of his other kids, has now come right back to Shar's side (or whichever other part), they theorize that marrying Britney was all a plan. Get fame, career, money as a result of Britney—then run right back to Shar.
