Just Because....

Happy Birthday Britney! Welcome to your late 20's. It's a pretty boring club, I should know, I joined it back in July.

Just Wondering...

Did anyone catch Britney Spears' documentary last night? What did you think of her new video teaser? We're happy that she's on the right track...but we wish she weren't so sad.

Britney Spears "Circus" [Album Review]

In Spears' 6th studio attempt Britney was able to channel those demons she was battling in her last album into a much more light hearted pop treat. "Circus" is more easy listening than "Blackout" filled with club and radio friendly pop gems. This is her comeback album, it had to be good and she knew it, and thankfully it is exactly what she needed.

The album opens up strong with her leading single "Womanizer" which, although a bit over processed, is a great dance hit. I especially love her little quip "You think I'm I crazy, I've got your crazy" it makes me grin every time I hear it, because this girlie has used that line more than once over the years. The second track, Circus, is actually really good too. Again, a bit over processed for my taste, but still really really good! 

My favorite track was "Out From Under" with it's haunting piano undertone throughout the verse that leads to a beautiful pop melody into the chorus. You can hear Britney's moment of becoming and moving on as she sings "I don't wanna dream about all the things that never were, maybe I can live without when I'm out from under. I don't wanna feel the pain, what good would it do me now? Maybe I'll get it figured out, when I'm out from under."

Another real gem is "If U Seek Amy" which reminds me of some vintage Brit-Brit...like pre-crazy goodness.

I definitely recommend purchasing this album. You won't regret it. Again, Britney needed this album to be good, it had to be, and it most certainly is everything she needed it to be. The entire album is streaming exclusively on www.imeem.com right now. Check it out:

Britney Spears At The Bambi Awards

Britney performed at the German Bambi Awards, and although clearly nervous, and a bit stiff...it was pretty good. Not great, there was waaay too much walking around and not nearly enough dancing, which is reminicent of the tragic performance at the VMA's. But, in comparrison, Britney brought it this time around. I look forward to seeing her regain her confidence in performing again. Good job Britney! (Her performance starts aronud the 30 second mark)

Britney Gives Up Custody To K-Fed

Britney Spears has agreed to hand the parenting reins over to Kevin Federline.

K-Fed's longtime attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, exclusively tells E! News the divorced duo have reached a settlement in their long-gestating custody case.

According to the agreement signed by all parties, Federline gets sole legal and physical custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James and Spears will have visitation rights.

"The case has been settled," Kaplan said. "The court still has to approve it. " Both parties are due in court Friday morning.

The case had been set to go to trial next month but all had been hoping to settle up beforehand.

"As of this evening there is a fully executed deal memo...All the issues that would have been addressed at trial have been settled," Kaplan told E! News. "Can't speak to the exact terms of the deal, [but the] orders in place...will stay in place."

Although this is theoretically good news for Federline, Kaplan maintains it isn't exactly what his client had in mind.

"Kevins was not [out] to get custody. Kevin's goal was to set up some kind of template so the mother of his children can coparent," Kaplan said.

"He said, 'I need to have Britney to be involved in the coparenting of the kids, but I need there to be a structure.' "

But this is the structure he got, and "Kevin is absolutely delighted," Kaplan continued.

"Nobody could have anticipated the terms of events that have occurred...This was a two-year journey that will be halted at a point that is good for these children. Custody is always modifiable. If there is a final order, it means there is nothing to try."

Spears has been enjoying monitored visits with her boys since late February after temporarily losing any on-hand-mommying privileges following a stretch of noticeably erratic behavior on her part and two brief hospital stays.

Federline's camp has credited the influence of Spears' father, Jamie, who was appointed a coconservator of his daughter's estate Feb. 1, for helping to get the 26-year-old popster back on track.

A court commissioner is scheduled to review whether to make the conservatorship permanent at the end of this month. If the arrangement were to end, what then happens to Spears' current deal?

"While I can't tell you the terms, the order does anticipate what happens if the conservatorship is ended," Kaplan told E! News. "The devil is always in the details, and this is a very detailed deal memo.

"Nobody can predict what the future will bring, but to the extent possible, I think we have really anticipated how to proceed."

We say, thank goodness they didn't drag this out any longer. Those poor kids have been through enough. Keep up the good work and keep getting better Britney!

And They Wonder Why Britney's Been a Mess

Can her family stop misappropriating her for a minute? Geeze, your daughter should be worth more than any amount of money. How sleazy...

In her upcoming memoir, Lynne Spears "will get into the dark period of Britney's life — from a mother's eyes," Curt Harding, a rep for Christian publishing company Thomas Nelson, tells Usmagazine.com.

The book — slated for a September release — will be titled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World.

"Lynne begins by telling the story of her own family," Harding says. "She's going to go into it."

He says Lynne had been working on the book "for at least a year" but took some time off in light of Jamie Lynn's pregnancy and Britney's hospitalization.

She was like, "I can't write a book right now, I've got to take care of my family,'" Harding tells Us.

"I think people will be surprised about who Lynne is," Harding adds. "That’s what I’ve gotten from it so far. I think she’s stronger than people give her credit for."

The memoir, Harding tells Us, "will be useful for moms who will read it and say, 'I can see myself in those same shoes.'

Great Job Britney!
