Star Magazine Reporting Britney Kissing Kevin




Britney and Kevin caught kissing?


Since Britney Spears and Kevin Federline split up, their custody arrangement has changed frequently. But one thing has remained constant: When the time has come to drop off Sean Preston and Jayden James at either of their parent’s houses, bodyguards have done the honors, says a friend of Kevin’s, so Britney and Kevin could avoid each other.But that’s been changing lately. In recent weeks, Kevin’s begun dropping off the boys at Britney’s LA house himself, the friend reveals. In fact, Kevin and Britney were talking on April 8, the friend says, “and Britney gave Kevin a kiss in front of their sons.”-Life&Style

Britney Spears returns to the recording studio


Britney Spears is quite clearly trying to get her life — and possibly her career — back on track — after hitting the recording studio this week with former manager Larry Rudolph.“We went into the studio, but it was just for fun – nothing more,” Rudolph says of their visits to a studio in Burbank, CA Monday and Tuesday.The ‘Toxic’ star, 26, has not been in a recording studio for the past year, sources close to the singer say.“She just wanted to go in and tinker around,” the source tells Us Weekly. “She sat at a piano and got some ideas. She played the piano and sang a bit. She enjoyed herself.”Britney played old and new songs, the source says, adding, “she wanted to go in as a way to get her creativity going. It was a really positive experience for her.”Spears and Rudolph — who is credited for discovering Spears and managing her career for 9 years — “are not at the stage where they are talking business yet,” nor is this studio visit the start of a new project, the source says.Earlier this month, Rudolph said Britney is on the “right path.”-ShowBizSpy

Britney's Fight For Her Kids


Britney Spears has come a long way from the girl who spent her days and nights taking erratic car rides through Los Angeles. These days, the 26-year-old mother of two can occasionally be seen enjoying a relatively quiet lunch or dinner, but then it's back to her Studio City home, where she largely stays out of the spotlight.Sources say the reason for Britney's dramatic turnaround is the fight for her children, which she has resumed with a vengeance. "Britney wants her kids back," one insider reveals to OK!. "And she will do everything in her power to make that goal a reality."On May 6, Britney, along with her dad and legal team, is prepared to go before Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon and ask yet again for overnight visits with her adorable kids, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 19 months.If she succeeds in this battle, Brit will be allowed one precious evening per week with her children for the first time since her infamous hostage standoff on Jan. 3.Appearing in court will only be the first step toward regaining even partial custody of her boys in the 50/50 agreement that Britney and her ex Kevin Federline, 30, agreed upon when they finalized their divorce last July. The second step is a closer, more peaceful relationship with Kevin. "It would be fantastic if they could become great friends again and could get together like Bruce Willis and Demi Moore did to show their kids how much they love them," a relative of Kevin tells OK!. "I think both Brit and Kevin would be open to that eventually."And according to Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, Britney is well on her way to achieving both goals. "Britney's progress over the last two months is good," he tells OK! exclusively. "No surprises, nothing to be alarmed about, and that's all very positive. -OK!

Sam Sitting Out Britney-Restraining Hearing


E! News has exclusively learned that Britney Spears' erstwhile manager and right-hand man will not be appearing in court Wednesday to fight the restraining order that keeps him away from the pop star."He's not going," says a source familiar with the case.Papa Jamie Spears originally requested a restraining order against Lutfi on Feb. 1 barring him from coming within 250 yards of Britney or having any contact with her.In a declaration accompanying the restraining order application, mother Lynne Spears accused Lutfi of attempting "to take control of [Britney's] life, home and finances.""Mr. Lutfi drugged Britney," Lynne Spears' affidavit read. "He has cut Britney's home phone line and removed her cell phone chargers. He yells at her. He claims to control everything—Britney's business manager, her attorneys, and the security guards at the gate."Attorneys for Jamie Spears attempted to find and serve Lutfi but failed to track him down for weeks. Finally, after he was properly served, Lutfi agreed on March 17 to have the restraining order against him extended until Wednesday's hearing."He respects Britney, he respects the temporary restraining order, and everyone is beating him up for no reason," Lutfi's publicist said after the hearing. "Enough is enough."Meanwhile, attorneys for the conservatorship overseeing Britney's estate signaled there might be a détente. "Mr. Lutfi and Mr. Spears are in discussion that may resolve the issues presented in the TRO application," they wrote in a court filing last month.While Lutfi has filed a motion stating he objected to having Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz presiding over his restraining order hearing instead of full-fledged judge, he has done little to argue against the allegations raised in the restraining order in court.And with Lutfi not planning on attending Wednesday's hearing, it appears again that once again these charges will go unanswered—and his chances to reconnect with Britney anytime soon slim.
