Instead of hotlinking...you will need to copy the picture to your computer, upload it to your own image hosting service (shutterfly, flickr, photobucket, etc.) and then load it onto CC from there.

Justin Timberlake is reaching out to Britney Spears telling her to leave Kevin Federline if she is really unhappy with him. He isn't saying that he will take her back (cause he already tapped that ass if you know what I mean). Besides, what will happen to fug Cameron Diaz if he leaves her?

"Justin asked point-blank, 'Are you happy?'" a source close to both singers tells Star. "Britney paused for a few seconds, sighed and said, 'Sometimes.... You know how it is.'" "Actually, no, I don't know!" responded Justin, who has been luckier in love with Cameron Diaz, 33, than his old flame has been. Alarmed by reports that stress over her 27-year-old husband Kevin Federline's reported cheating has begun to make her physically sick and that Britney has been stuffing herself with junk food — her weight has skyrocketed to 140 pounds in recent weeks — "Justin told her that her marriage should be nourishing her, not sucking the life out of her." Finally, the source says, "Justin told Brit that if she's not happy in her marriage, she needs to get out — for herself and for the baby!" (Britney and Kevin's rep says they "are great.")

Considering she weighed in at probably no more than 110 in her heyday, I would say that it is "more" for her than it is for others. You can really see it in her face.

From E-Online's Quote of the Week:

I'm goin' out to Brazil to shoot the video...I don't want to give my vision away, but we're going to be partying up.
--Visionary Kevin Federline, quoted in Star on promoting his new song "PopoZao," which purportedly is Brazilian slang for "big butt." An anonymous source for the mag says that "His idea for the video is to have a dozen beautiful girls wearing tiny bikini's shaking their butts in his face." Sounds genius.

I know, I am not really complaining because it is an OK weight for me. But when they say Brit SKYROCKETED it just seems so ridiculous! They make it seem like 140 is sooo bad, when actually it is probably an average weight for many women. I am pretty happy with my body, but I HATE IT when people make it seem like you are overweight if you weigh more than 110 pounds!

So how tall is Brit?

5'7" isn't what I would consider short for a girl. I'm 5'0" and get called "shorty" constantly. And 140 on me looks pretty bad. If Brit is really that tall, then 140 should not look badly on her. :confused:

Raven_Girl

02-03-2006, 11:48 AM

I think Britney's problem is she looks sloppy and nasty. Just because you gain weight does not mean you go out looking like crap. That I don't care attitude should not equal sloopy.

The ideal body weight of a women her age and height

118 - 155 lbs

So she is just in the ballpark she should be. I am more concerned with her looking unhealthy and not taking care of herself mentally or physically then being anywhere near fat. I think people are pushing this whole weight issue a little to far with her. I think they are looking past the fact that she looks dirty and just rough more so then fat.

Exactly what I was thinking! Wasn't the whole Brazil, bikinis etc thing done recently by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell...the one where it went' "beautiful, I just want you to know, you're my favorite girl"? Same exact concept. Kevin Federline and his music is pathetic, but sadly I think just for the the same reason we read about them (ie. trainwreck) his music will end up getting a ton of airplay and will then be catchy...ugh!

Haven't posted before but a huge lurker. Just had to comment on this b/c it irritated me that they wrote this:

Real nice. :rolleyes:

I'm 5'4' and weigh 140. Like Brit, I'm also 4.5 mos post partum and while I would love to be at my pre-pg weight (which, FWIW was no where near 110!), I am pretty content to be the weight I am...as Brit should be. 140 is certainly not overweight and is the average weight of women anymore. And furthermore, IMO, weight just doesn't matter in the months following giving birth!

ITA that it really has to do w/ how you present yourself that makes the difference.....doesn't matter what weight you are.

02-03-2006, 07:13 PM

Now, I don't take that as them calling her fat. I think it's more just in observation of the fact that she probably went from 110 to 140 in the past few weeks/months and that's skyrocketing for HER.

That's how I read it too. Not so much that she's fat. Maybe more like unlike her, or that it was so quickly that she gained the weight. She had already slimmed down quite a bit after having the baby, IIRC, so it's not like it was weight that hadn't come off yet.

Britney Spears has reportedly recruited Madonna's writers and producers to reinvent her pop career [Big Shock], according the Sun.
The 'Toxic' singer has enlisted the expertise of the hit making duo Bloodshy & Avant and writer-producer Peer Astrom after reportedly being impressed by their work on Madonna's hit comeback album 'Confessions On A Dancefloor.'

Britters wants her next release to feature songs that are 'a cross between Madonna and Kylie Minogue with an electronic edge,' reports the Sun.

Britney's body has truly bounced back after the Sept. 14 birth of her son Sean Preston - and apparently the pop-tart can't wait to show it off.

The pop-diva recently visited Venus by Maria Tash, an upscale piercing and jewelry studio in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, according to PEOPLE. Spears, who's been reportedly pierced by Tash before, got her belly button piercing reinserted with an elaborate blue topaz and-white-gold piece, which cost more than $200, according to published reports.

Tash says Spears is in 'really good shape' and 'was having fun,' grinding to the music upstairs while awaiting her friend to be finished as well.

Earlier this month, Britney exploded over rumors that she had a tummy tuck to help her get back in shape. The sexy singer was reportedly furious when she read the reports alleging she had undergone cosmetic surgery after the birth of her son.

Kevin Federline's ex is sleeping with wife Britney Spears' ex-husband. US actress Shar Jackson and Jason Alexander, who was married to the singer for just 55 hours after impulsively tying the knot with her in Las Vegas two years ago, are said to be an item after they were spotted together. According to reports, Jackson and Alexander showed up with each other at a party in Los Angeles on Saturday before allegedly heading upstairs for sex.
An onlooker told America's New York Post newspaper: 'They made out all night before going upstairs to the off-limits bedroom area of the house.' Sexy mum Britney - who was alleged to have stolen Kevin from Shar when she was pregnant with his baby - tied the knot with the dancer-turned-singer in September 2004, eight months after divorcing Alexander. Ever since, the pair have been dogged by claims their relationship is on the rocks.

Last year, the 'Toxic' singer admitted to Allure magazine that married life is tough. She said: 'We hit a little bit of reality - hard core - after the first three weeks. 'Before we got married we were on tour and we were just like kids ordering room service, saying 'Let's go out tonight.'

'Then all of a sudden you have this home and you have kids and you have to get diapers and get the dogs to the vet. It's this whole reality, you know?'

Britney Spears needs a new look a published reports suggests. The singer is still fighting the whole baby weight thing and has gone back and forth with hair extensions and her clothing choices have left a bit to be desired at some points as well.

Brit wants this Brit back

The star seems to realize it and now allegedly wants an extreme makeover, according to the magazine Us Weekly.

Her goals, get a new look, fix her private life and jump start her career.

The pop tart's publicist Leslie Sloane tells Us Weekly that now that it's been a few months since Mrs. Federline gave birth, she's in "a makeover mode."

The mag reports that Britney is frustrated over her post-baby bod, rocky marriage and stalled career, so she's taking time for herself and she's gearing up for a fresh start.

The mag then gives some opinions from 'experts.'

--"It wouldn't hurt if she hit the gym a little. She just had a baby, so it's completely understandable she put on weight, but she was so hot!" -- Marianela (VJ and host of Fuse's Daily Download) notes for her "new look."

-- I'd have a photographer take very good, sensitive family pictures with the child and then place that picture [in the press] -- not try to sell it for $200,000." -- Howard Rubenstein dishes on fixing her private life.

-- Should she dump Kevin? I think so. Part of [her appeal] was that she wasn't married. You had this illusion of innocence. You can't have that when you have the hillbilly husband." -- Steve Martin, the Foo-fighter rep, not the actor believes.

Look - Brit is still very young. Stage two of her career can go brilliantly, but she will have to get dedicated and get that body back.

She needs to stay out of sight, get back that killer pre-baby body and emerge back as the pop tart Britney.

Britney Spears has reportedly been approached by several weight loss companies to undergo their plans and become a spokesgal for the firms, according to one published report.

But the gal that once bared those tight abs at every turn says she's sick of dieting, according to a source.

The American tabloid Celebrity Living cites a 'source' and reports that Britney has turned down millions of dollars from the weight-loss companies.

The reason, she's comfortable with the new weight.

***

But the report also details what many other reports have dished, that hubby Kevin Federline is K-Fed up with the baby weight. He reportedly is calling her some pretty cruel nicknames (behind her back the report reads) such as 'fat-ass and 'big-mama.'

That may be too much for Brit as it is reportedly causing stress and -egads - causing her to eat more.

The solution, according to the story, from some of her friends: dump K-Fed and pick up a diet doctor.

It's not clear if the episode has been scrapped, or just the whole Christian storyline. The 'Cruci-fixins' segment could have been just hilarious. Damn the American Family Association.

Spears was to appear as a sidekick to the regular character Jack, who hosts his own talk show on the homosexual network Out TV, which is bought by a Christian TV network. The episode was to air April 13, just before Good Friday.
The American Family Association said NBC canceled the segment after pressure from its affiliates and AFA.

But the network said its own description of the segment was a mistake.

In a memo to affiliates, NBC said "the information was mistakenly included in a press release describing an upcoming episode of 'Will and Grace' which, in fact, has yet to be written. The reference to 'Cruci-fixins' will not be in the show and the story line will not contain a Christian characterization at all."

This one takes the cake!!!

On Monday, photos surfaced of Britney Spears driving her SUV in Malibu with her son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap behind the wheel. The pictures raised obvious questions because her young son was not in a car seat.

A source close to Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son.

Spears explains her actions in an exclusive statement to People magazine:
"Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

Are you freakin' KIDDING me??!! First of all she's smiling in the fourth photo! Second of all...if I were her, there could have been a pack of wild dogs outside the car and I would have put him in a baby seat!!! That SUV is big enough so that she could have put him in the seat while she was in the car with him. Or if it was that bad...call the freakin' cops!!

I am completely disgusted! That poor little baby!

ETA: I took down the photos just in case because other sites are getting threatened with lawsuits because they posted them. Just want to be on the safe side!

LOL Sarahh I was coming over here to see if anyone had posted this. The title I had thought up was This takes the cake... Too funny.

I think this is beyond irresponsible. She does not look the least bit panicked while driving. She made no attempt to put SPF in the carseat. I drive a small SUV and even I could climb through to the back seat to put my baby in his seat if I couldn't get out of the car.

Her "statement" is a bunch of crap too. I'm trying to understand her logic on this one. So, the paparazzi is scaring you and chasing you and you react by driving calmly out of a parking lot and into taffic with your infant son on your lap. Making no attempt to secure him in his carseat to protect him from what the scary paparazzi might do to you? Because he's so much safer in your arms, behind the wheel of a car than he would be if you took the extra time and put him in the carseat. I'm sorry, but you can't make stupid decisions and then blame the photographers all the time. She is the absolute queen of excuse these days. Not to mention I think she should be charged with child endangerment. This is blatently against the law.

I hope she learns her lesson before its too late.

ETA: What bodyguard would LET her drive like that? Isn't it his job to make sure that situations like this don't happen?

I don't buy her lies. She is so trashy! YOU would think that since the body guard is with her, doing nothing in the car, he could at least hold the baby (or put him in his car seat) so she isnt driving while having to hold him. Uhm, earth to NIt Brit, this is not a miniture dog you can just carry with you like an accessory.

Good question from Just Jared (http://justjared.blogspot.com/2006/02/britney-spears-driving-with-baby-on.html)...
Two questions are begging to be answered. 1) Why doesn't Britney have her own seatbelt on? 2) If it was such a "horrifying, frightful encounter," why is she smiling? It must have been terrifying. And another blurb from the same website...
Britney Spears drives with baby on lap

Britney Spears: "I Love My Child" -- A source close to Britney Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean Preston Federline in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son.

Yep. If the bodyguard was running in for just a couple minutes to get the drinks, wouldn't it be easier for her to climb in the back, than to take the baby out of the carseat, only to have to strap him back in when the bodyguard came out a few minutes later? Also, the rear windows look tinted, wouldn't that keep the paparazzi from seeing her, rather than pulling the baby into the front seat? And as for the physically aggressive paparazzi, well, they can't open up the car doors and attack her can they? How much could they hurt her if they are OUTSIDE of the car? She could have locked the doors and taken a couple of minutes to buckle him in.

I think she is an expert of using the media to her advantage. Of course she pulled the baby into the front seat, she knew the photogs would take tons of pictures of her as the doting mother. Then she blames the same photogs that she is using for her own publicity as an excuse for bad behavior. She is doing a total disservice to other celebrities that are actually being harrassed by the paparazzi (Reese Witherspoon comes to mind).

More thoughts from www.hollywoodrag.com ...
First of all, driving is something that should be done with 100% attention. Even a baby securely placed in his baby seat can be distracting enough. And babies are like magicians. They find things in the smallest of places then magically it's gone again. She can't possibly drive if she has to attend to her son's every move.

Besides the obvious, the fact that she even made a statement to People implies more than just the words being said. She must know she did a foolish thing regardless of the hounding paparazzi. She was in her car (locks: ON) plus had her intimidating bodyguard present. Why would she need to reinforce the fact that she loves her baby? Of course she loves her baby, she just got frustrated at the paparazzi and didn't want to take that one minute to strap him back in his car seat.

I think she's a complete & total idiot, but since she drove off with him in her lap, was there ever a time before she drive onto a major highway that she could have safely pulled over and strapped him in? I am really trying to understand her logic, but there were definately other alternatives to speeding off with your infant child in your arms.

She does look great in those Grammy pictures, but that dress is SO not flattering.

I've thought for a long time that she didn't have her head screwed on straight, and I've enjoyed watching her slow-motion train wreck, but this baby thing....takes the cake. I'm so beyond disgusted.

When I was 21, my son was born, I may have been young and naive, but there was no freaking way I would have put a vehicle into drive if he wasn't safely strapped into his carseat.

There's absolutely no excuse for what she did - especially considering that she had an extra pair of hands at her disposal (the bodyguard's) - she had plenty of options that didn't involve driving with a baby in her lap.

Edited to add - I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she dangles him off a balcony next..... :rolleyes:

Just chiming in here, since this photo has been splashed all over the morning news shows......I think this just exemplifies how immature she really is.
This is a human who has never had to think for herself or act responsibly in any way, shape or form. She has been surrounded by people letting (and encouraging) her to do whatever she wants whenever she wants. Consequences be damned!

I normally don't respond in this thread, but I had to after I saw these photos. How irresponsible can someone be. Abviously the safety of her son is not a priority to her and all she cares about is herself. Her statement that she made is just another attempt to make herself look better. I hope the police or child services are informed of this situation and take action.

What an idiot!

What's the point of having a body guard? For crying out loud, she had to open the door to let him in (according to her story he was out getting drinks so he had to get back into the car, right) if she didn't want to get out herself then how about the bodyguard putting the baby in back?? Or the body guard throwing the paparrazzi's asses out of there?

I don't care how scared you are, that's no excuse for such blatant stupidity. And if she was scared and couldn't get out of the car, then call the cops!

I can not believe I'm going to do this....but I don't see anything wrong with driving a few blocks to get away from the idiots with cameras. I think because we don't live in her world we can sit at out computers and pass judgement. We're not being stalked, we have the freedom to come and go as we please, she honestly can't pee without someone taking a picture. If someone was surrounding you and I believe your first instinct is to protect your kid, I know I would. We don't know if she drove ALL the way back to Malibu with Sean in front but she just wanted to get away.
Back in the day our parents drove with us in the front seat and we survived. Yeah she's a bit stupid but I don't think she did this on purpose.

Once on public property there's not much she can do.

I think even if she is on public property, if they are preventing her from exiting her car or surrounding her, preventing her from being able to drive away without hitting someone, then the paparazzi are creating a public nuisance, in which case she'd probably have every right to call the police

ETA: If I were in her shoes, and I'll agree that my first instinct too would be to protect my child, in an SUV, and especially one the size she was driving, there is enough room to be able to move into the back (even though its a tight fit), I'd make sure my son or daughter was in their car seat before I left. She had to get her son out of the seat to put him in her lap, and I am guessing that if the press were lurking around, she did it without getting out of the SUV. It could have also easily been done with the bodyguard's help. Yes, I know she is a public figure, and I would be annoyed if paparazzi were hounding me 24/7, but I still don't think its any excuse for stupidity.

Just because she is a star and has paparazzi in her face 24/7 means she can get away with it? Not in my book.

I am disgusted. There is NO reason for that child to not be in a car seat. All it takes is a second, whether on a main road OR in a parking lot, for something horrible to happen. She knows this, everyone knows this. People die in car wrecks every single day. It's hard enough for an adult to "hang on" without a seatbelt, even harder for a parent with ONE hand on the wheel, and impossible for a child that doesn't have the motor skills for that yet. POOR parenting, PERIOD.

You are correct that we don't live in her world, but even a few block is a few block too many. Her first priority is to protect her child and by driving with him in her lap is not protecting her child. Our parents did drive with us in car seats when we were kids because it was not a law back then. The media could have easliy followed her, cut her off and caused an accident.

Considering that most hospitals will not discharge you after you have a baby unless there is a car seat in the car (at least I know that they check in the hospitals in Boston), there just is no excuse for her not knowing the dangers of not having your child in a car seat. I might cut her some slack and say we can chalk it up to her being flustered and losing her cool and not dealing with the situation in the best way she could have, but she should have known better.

I totally agree.

My parents did the same thing in the early 80's. Peopel need to chill over the 4 pictures, she could have just driven around the parking lot for all we know.

HUGE difference there though! We didn't have air bags in every vehicle in the early 80s. An air bag WILL, not might, but will, kill a baby who's in a position like that. She needs to obey the law, and she had better get in trouble for it. That was such an idiotic thing for her to do.

From what I understand she got on the highway with him on her lap. The major problem is the airbags which cars did not have in the 70s or 80s. If the airbag goes off is is very probable that the baby would be killed.I do think it was VERY irresponsible of her. It is a big deal.

Also, for those of you who aren't from L.A., that section of PCH through Malibu/ Santa Monica is very dangerous and there are a lot of accidents there. My boss was recently in an accident on PCH during his morning commute and an acquaintence of mine died on that road a couple of years ago. It's probably the last road in the city that I would allow a child to ride on while not properly secured.

Raven_Girl

02-07-2006, 09:57 AM

Oh, come on. It wasn't an angry rioting mob. What "danger" were she and the baby in?

All she had to do was lock the doors and wait for the bodyguard to get back, which couldn't have been more than a couple minutes. Once the bodyguard was back, he could have quickly strapped the baby into the carseat so they could leave. There is no excuse for driving with a baby on your lap, especially on the busy streets you can see she's on.

She's stupid, plain and simple, and that was a very stupid decision on her part.

I never said she was the smartest tool int he shed. I just I've seen those mobs and they're scary. Yes she was an idiot for even taking him out of the seat but like I said if it was me I might have done the same thing.
Thats my opinion.

Her world, my world, why should it matter? The law is the law. No one is above the law, there are no exceptions to the law, especially when a child's safety is at stake.

Don't give that irresponsible nit-wit too much credit, she uses the paparazzi to her advantage. Those who want to remian private don't flaunt themselves around posing for the same people she then claims she is scared of. She has created her own firestorm, moreso than any other celebrity I can think of.

I have to point out that she couldn't have been too scared, she was happily posing for pictures later that night at whatever pre-Grammy party that was. If your scared, file a complaint. Pick up your cellphone, dial the local law enforcement office, have them send an officer to remove the paparazzi. Don't take matters into your own hands and drive off with your infant in your lap. That is abysmal, beyond reprehensible behavior.

On Monday, photos surfaced of Britney Spears driving her SUV in Malibu with her son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap behind the wheel. The pictures raised obvious questions because her young son was not in a car seat.

A source close to Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son.

Spears explains her actions in an exclusive statement to People magazine:
"Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

Remember what happened to Lindsay Lohan when she tried to "escape the paparazzi".........

....or how about Paris Hilton's ex?

Anything can happen at ANY time. There is no excuse for driving around with an infant on your lap. Hell, I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for 45 minutes with a SCREAMING infant before (she hated her car seat). I never even THOUGHT about taking her out of her car seat and driving.

Two things:

1 - that pre-grammy party dress looks scary. It looks like she's channeling mariah carey with the big hair and skimpy clothes.

2 - I was totally appauled when I saw those photos on Today this morning. I can't see how a big bodyguard like that couldn't "protect" Brit long enough to put SPF in a car seat. At most it should take - what - five minutes? I could probably do 5 minutes and I don't have a child yet. Seriously, I hope DCFS contacts her. I doubt they'd remove him, but let's give her a wake up call that just because you have money and are famous, you still have to make sure your child is safe at all times.

Also, for those of you who aren't from L.A., that section of PCH through Malibu/ Santa Monica is very dangerous and there are a lot of accidents there.
Exactly! What a totally irresponsible and idiotic move on her part. If she was so scared she could have easily jumped in the back seat with Sean and asked the bodyguard to drive while she strapped the baby back in. There is no way that I would endanger my future child like that. I hope that something happens to her with regards to this, but I have a feeling it might not (after all not much was done with MJ after he hung his baby off the balcony was it?). :(

I call B.S. on the way she's freaking out over the paparazzi stalking her anyways. She wasn't born into fame yesterday - she lives every day of her life with them following her, and if she decided to take SP for a ride to the coffee shop, she knew darned well the paparazzi would be there, snapping photos. In fact, I think there's a strong possibility that she took SP with her because she KNEW it was a major photo op and would get her picture plastered all over the papers. She knows that everybody wants to see the baby!

I'm not saying that she didn't, perhaps, underestimate how aggressive the paparazzi would be upon seeing her, ALONE, in her vehicle with the baby (how stupid was that on her part and the bodyguard's to begin with - to sit in the parked car and play with the baby, knowing she would be the center of attention!?) but panicked or not, she had plenty of options that didn't involve endangering SP's life.

Exclusive: Child Services and Britney: Agency makes call after seatbelt brouhaha http://justjustin.nsync.nu/emoticonsforjjb/ohsnap.gif

(Feb. 7) -- TMZ has learned the LA County Department of Chidren and Family Services (DCFS) has contacted the LA County Sheriff's Department, inquiring about Britney driving with her baby on her lap without proper child restraint.

TMZ contacted DCFS and an official would not say if the matter was under investigation.

Britney issued a statement saying, "I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger." She added, "I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way..."

The TV show 'EXTRA' has obtained the following statement from X17, the company that took the picture: "These pictures were taken in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior. We believe the pictures speak for themselves."

I agree with the PP who said Britney looks like her mom with a bad wig on. The tones in her extensions don't match, she is way too under accessorized and her dress looks like a bathing suit. I also agree with the PP who said she seems to be channeling Mariah in this dress. They should at least make an attempt to dress like they are going to the same function. They look like they are going to a dance for wayward kids.

No fashion sense, no common sense, just a bunch of nonsense. Blah.

Doesn't look like they may do much after all, which is quite irritating...

A spokesman for the Department of Children and Family Services, declined to offer any comment on the incident.

"We don't say who, what or if we're investigating," Stu Riskin said.

Sheriff's deputies, meanwhile, won't be pressing any charges, Deputy Luis Castro said.

"Unless a deputy saw the violation, there's nothing we can do," Castro said. "We don't even know if this took place in our jurisdiction."

The agency that snapped the photos, X17, said the pictures were taken "in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior."

"We believe that the pictures speak for themselves," the agency said in a statement.

UPDATE 1: LA County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) has contacted the LA County Sheriff's Department, to investigate Britney Spears' now infamous driving with SP (aka Sean Preston) in her lap. Though Britney swears up and down it was because the paparazzi were chasing her, photo evidence suggests that this is unlikely as the window(s) were open and she is seen smiling or laughing.

X17, the photo agency responsible for the photos, told EXTRA: "These pictures were taken in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior. We believe the pictures speak for themselves."

Source TMZ

Posted February 7, 7 AM EST:

On Monday, Britney Spears was photographed fleeing a Starbucks after paparazzi got aggressive with her while she was waiting for her bodyguard to come back with drinks. Britney had taken Sean Preston out of his carseat to play with him while waiting, when paparazzi came up to the window and became a nuisance. As soon as her bodyguard got back into the car, Britney drove away and got onto the highway with Sean sitting on her lap.

She released the following statement to People this morning:

"Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

Actually, after looking at that "smiling" pic again, it sort of looks like she's still in the parking lot there. The window there looks like it's either rolled all the way down or all the way up, not half way like the obvious driving pics.

Either way, what a dumb-ass.

even if she is in the parking lot she is still smiling. Obviously "not in fear" as she claims she was to have the baby on her lap. But I guess that is a whole other oprah :cool:

The reporter mentioned that Britney lives 3/10 of a mile from the Starbucks, so I bet she drove all the way home. WOW!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/07/people.britney.spears.ap/index.html

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Authorities were investigating an incident in which Britney Spears was photographed driving with her infant son on her lap, but didn't intend to pursue charges against the pop star, officials said.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht said Tuesday that deputies went to Spears' home to collect information for the county Department of Family and Children Services.

A DCFS spokesman wouldn't offer specifics. "We don't say who, what or if we're investigating," department spokesman Stu Riskin said. (Watch Kelly Ripa, women of The View chastise Britney -- 3:35)

The sheriff's department won't pursue any charges, Deputy Luis Castro said.

"Unless a deputy saw the violation, there's nothing we can do," he said. "We don't even know if this took place in our jurisdiction."

Several photos published Tuesday showed Spears driving with her son, Sean Preston, perched on her lap rather than strapped into a car seat in the back seat. Spears said she did it because of a "horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi."

The photos show Spears holding the wheel of the car with one hand, and her 4-month-old baby in the other. A person is shown sitting in the passenger seat next to Spears.

"I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger," Spears, 24, said in a statement released late Monday.

"I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us," she said. "I love my child and would do anything to protect him."

The agency that snapped the photos, X17, said the pictures were taken "in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior."

"We believe that the pictures speak for themselves," the agency said in a statement.

To be honest.... I can understand where the cop is coming from. While I don't believe in giving her special treatment, we can't expect harsher treatment because she is a celeb either. A cop camera that is specifically designed for the police and their jursdiction is different than papparazzi photos.

For instance I couldn't go to my local police station with a picture of someone I knew and tell them that this person needs a citation for their actions. I think the most they could do is call and make the person aware that there has been a complaint and remind them that it is against the law.

I understand the difference between a police camera and a paparazzi photo, but if I called the police because I suspected that a child was being put in harms way, at the very LEAST I would expect an investigation into the the alleged abuse. If there was actual evidence of the abuse (ie the photos), I think that would be enough for authorities to pursue some level of charges. She would have the right to battle it out in court as to legitimacy of the evidence, but IMO that is something for a judge and courts to decide. But, I am an accountant, not a lawyer, so maybe we can be enlightened by someone with more knowledge than I?

philnikki

02-08-2006, 12:03 PM

And an FYI

The California Penal Code 273A reads as follows ---

Abandonment & Neglect, Title 9,

note 7, Willful --- "Child endangerment statute proscribing causing or permitting child to suffer physical pain or mental suffering or permitting child to be injured or placed in endangering situation does not require specific intent to inflict harm".

note 9, Pain or Suffering --- "Actual bodily injury to child is not required to support conviction for child endangerment under statue proscribing causing or permitting child to suffer physical pain or mental suffering or permitting injury or endangering of child".

note 11, Endangering life or limb --- "It is the likelihood of foreseeable injury, rather than whether such injury in fact occurs, that is relevant in determining whether defendant is guilty of felony child endangerment".

If Miss Britney is allowed to drive around with her child in the front seat I think that completely meets the standard in the penal code that the likelihood of physical injury is forseeable.

Note To LA Sheriff: Take the picture that shows the sign, figure out which jurisdiction she's in based on where that sign is located and do something about it!

When I saw the pics from the Grammy's my first thought was that she look like she was out of the 1980's - that makeup and hair was just not right. Then my next was that she looked like her mom.

Somone mentioned that she looked stoned, but I thought Kevin looked much worse. Granted, he always looks this way, but this time more than others. Do we have a Bobby Brown/Whitney situation on our hands?

"Britney and Kevin Face-off"

Britney Spears — already mired in controversy over pictures of her driving with her baby son on her lap — plunged into a new drama when she stormed out on husband Kevin Federline after a fight with him at a star-studded Hollywood event, sources tell Star.

"They were really going at each other," says one eyewitness who watched the screamfest erupt Monday night as Spears and Federline sat in an opera box, watching Kanye West perform at a Rolling Stone/Verizon-sponsored pre-Grammy party at the hot nightclub Avalon.

"It was shortly after midnight and Kanye had only been on stage a few minutes when Kevin and Britney got into some big disagreement which turned into a full-scale shouting match. They both looked pretty angry and everyone else in the box was staring at them with amazement and shock. After a few minutes of yelling at each other, she stormed out leaving him in the box.

"She left with one of her bodyguards, got in her car and took off. Kevin stayed in the box with singer Brandy and his buddies, drinking the Sky Vodka that was being promoted at the club last night. He stayed till the end of the show.

The ugly incident was in sharp contrast to the couple's affectionate 10:45 arrival at the event, where Tom Cruise, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, Paris Hilton and beau Stavros Niarchos, Matthew Perry, Brandy and a string of other celebrities were also guests.

Britney — showing off her shapely legs in a short, low cut black dress — was "all smiles and holding hands with Kevin, when they got here," the onlooker tells Star. "Everything seemed to be fine between them. Then, out of nowhere, they started this huge fight. Everyone was stunned."

Earlier in the day, Britney made herself a target of parenting and child safety groups when she was photographed driving with her five-month old son, Sean Preston, on her lap. And today, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department paid a visit to Spears' Malibu home in anticipation of a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) investigation into the incident, according to TMZ.com.

DH is a police officer in a different state than CA, but he says that if there is proof of a crime (more than just a verbal report) they can press charges. They must be witness of a crime when someone just says something happens (like saying that your roommate is dealing drugs). If someone verbally reported Brittney driving with her child on her lap then there would be not a whole lot they could do (here) since someone could be lying, but a picture would be enough (here).

Well, I managed to comb my hair before I left the house today (with a baby the same age). If I was going to a big ritzy celebrity event, I'm pretty sure I could put some of what's left of my money towards a hair stylist trimming up those raggedy ends. And, unless SP ate the bottom half of her dress, I don't think having a baby buys her a free pass on bad taste. ;)

Kendra Jade admits being friends with Kevin Federline

Kendra did some porn years ago but she claims that she's out of the business now.

<snip>

Howard read that Kendra had recently spent the night with Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline one time. She said that they didn't spent the night, she just hung out with him. She also said they shared the same circle of friends for many years so it was an inevitable meeting.

Kendra told Howard that she and Kevin have the same group of friends so that's how she met him. She says that she didn't do anything with Kevin but did hang out with him.

Kendra swore that she didn't do anything with Kevin Federline but she was laughing so Howard figured she was lying.

Britney Spears: 'I Made a Mistake'

Thursday, February 9, 2006

(02-09) 13:12 PST New York (AP) --

Britney Spears has taken responsibility — well, some of it — for driving with her baby son, Sean Preston, sitting in her lap.

"I made a mistake and so it is what it is, I guess," Spears tells "Access Hollywood" in an interview that was to air Thursday.

Several photos published Tuesday showed Spears driving her sport utility vehicle in Malibu, Calif., with her 4-month-old son perched on her lap rather than strapped into a car seat in the back seat.

The 24-year-old pop star said she did it because of a "horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi."

In response, X17, the agency that snapped the pictures, said they were snapped "in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior."

"Being put in the situation that I was in, it was kind of bad with the paparazzi," Spears tells "Access Hollywood.""Last week, my mom and I went out and they were on us really bad, so you instinctively do what you need to do."

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has said it won't pursue any charges.

Sean Preston, who was born in September, is Spears' first child. She is married to Kevin Federline, a former backup dancer.

Still a pretty lame apology/excuse IMHO :rolleyes:

Access Exclusive: Britney Speaks Out

POSTED: 1:18 pm PST February 9, 2006
UPDATED: 4:42 pm PST February 9, 2006

Britney Spears designed her own daring dress for the Grammy after parties on Wednesday night.

But three days before, the pop star was making headlines for all the wrong reasons when she was photographed driving with her baby on her lap.

Was she running from the paparazzi or endangering her child? Access Hollywood's Tony Potts got the exclusive story when he caught up with Britney and Kevin after the Grammys.

"How are you guys responding to all the hub bub over what happened the other day with Sean Preston?" Tony asked the party-going couple.

"It is what it is, it's the press. I mean, there is nothing new with them, with me," Britney told Access.

Britney arrived relaxed and dazzling at Mariah Carey's bash thrown with Jermaine Dupri and presented by LG Mobile Phones. And as she showed up sporting a self-designed mini-dress with Kevin on her side, she came right to Tony to explain for the first time what happened.

The photos in question showed Britney cruising down a very busy California highway with her four-and-a-half-month-old out of a car seat and directly behind the wheel. The pictures have brought severe criticism to Britney, who initially blamed aggressive paparazzi for frightening her into the poor decision.

But now, upon more reflection, Brit is accepting some of the responsibility.

"It's kind of like I made a mistake and so it is what is, I guess," she told Tony.

That being said, she's not taking all the blame.

"Being put in the situation that I was in, it was kind of bad with the paparazzi," she explained. "Last week, my mom and me went out and they were on us really bad, so it's just, you do instinctively what you need to do."

Or maybe they just re-wrote it?

Sophia

02-10-2006, 09:58 AM

I thought pic #2 in particular shows how ill-fitting and unflattering that outfit is on her, even though the clothes are nicer than she usually wears. The top is too short (could probably go up a size, too) and the shorts hit the wrong place on her knee plus they're bunching up at the crotch. That rise isn't fitting right on her because she's trying to fit into too small a size.

That's what it says here sdianems:

Britney Spears (courtesy: Entertainment Tonight)
Reacting to pressure from Christian groups, NBC canceled an episode of "Will & Grace" that featured Britney Spears as a conservative who hosts a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's" on a Christian TV network.
but maybe you're right and they are just re-writing it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I agree Sophia, and think that her outfit is horrible. Yes, a little better from what she's been out in lately, but still not suited to her at all. And everytime I see her in tiny shoes like that, I feel like the next picture we see is going to be one of her on the ground from toppling over in the damn things.

And then it's smashed to pieces a day or two later when she reverts to her normal "just rolled out of bed and put on clothes that have laid on the floor for two weeks" look. ;)

I just realized I meant to wear pants with this dress! Can you tell? Do I look crazy? I don't look too crazy, do I? When I left the house this morning my mother said something about a lampshade in a whorehouse or some such but all she does is mutter about stuff all day long anyway so I didn't know if she was talking about me or about an actual lampshade she wanted to buy from a whorehouse but the point is that I am a little worried about sitting down because this skirt is really short.

But ANYWAY, it's awfully nice to get out of that house because I swear to God all I do in that house is yell about things, like where is Kevin's wallet, and no he can't take my purse with him, and what happened to the money I gave him yesterday, and no he can't bring the baby with him to the 7-11 because what if he accidentally gives the baby a Slurpee because that might give the baby diabetes, and no I am not IMing Justin and even if I was he can't read what I said because he's functionally illegitimate anyway, or whatever that word is for not really being able to read. So it's nice to be out and about and I think Kevin does clean up real nice even if I secretly think he's turning out to be a total liability, which is what my manager called him this morning. And right after she said that she said that she didn't understand where this all came from anyway, and I told her that maybe she should have listened to me when I told her that I was so Lucky, I was a Star, but that I cried, cried, cried in my lonely heart and if there was nothing missing in my life, then why did my tears come at night, and she said she had no idea what I was talking about and I told her that it was a SONG I sang once and it was a big hit and then she said that she never paid that much attention and THEN I told her that she also should have listened to my song "Overprotected" which is all about how I was tired of people telling me what to do and this is why I keep saying that I don't know why everyone is so surprised I got married and had a baby because I've been trying to tell them all for YEARS that I was TIRED of not getting to EAT so THEY could make more MONEY and I SWEAR I HAVE JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH EVERYONE I SEE EVERY DAY. Except Sean, because I could just eat up his cute little baby face.

So what I'm saying is: I'm glad to be out of the house, I wish I had worn pants, and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to fire everyone even my mom.

(Feb. 11, 2:35AM ET) -- A full-fledged war appears to have erupted between Britney Spears' body guards and the paparazzi in Malibu on Friday.

Britney's guards swarmed the Malibu Country Mart, site of the Malibu Starbucks which is popular with celebs and close to Brit's property, all day Friday, filming the paparazzi. The guards were allegedly driving Kevin's black Audi, at times switching cars to what appears to be Britney's Escalade.

Click here to see the video of the day's events unfolding

According to our sources, an altercation occurred between a paparazzo named "Agnon" and one of Brit's guards, and Malibu police tell TMZ that they're now investigating the issue.

Agnon claims that at one point Friday Brit's guards tried to force him off of the road.

After police arrived at the parking lot scene where the incident took place and spoke to papararzzi who were witnesses, they followed the Escalade back to Brit's property, and were seen entering her property.

It seemed like a game of cat and mouse. Brit's people would speed off and then the paparazzi would speed up to try to catch a shot (with the hope of that maybe they'd catch a shot of Brit, behind the tinted windows).

A TMZ reporter, working on a story about celebrity privacy in Malibu, captured this baiting game on tape.

"It's almost like the guards are trying to bait the paparazzi to be aggressive," said TMZ reporter Patti Bartos-Fellows. "Everyone's out here filming each other. It's chaos here today."

Britney was not seen at all on Friday by any parties involved.

TMZ has not been able to reach Brit's publicist for comment.

Most new moms would pay anything to lose their baby weight. But Britney Spears is going to get paid millions of dollars to shed hers!

Desperate to rein in her ballooning weight, Brit, 24, has turned to a new diet-and-beauty pill that promises to curb her junk-food cravings, Star has learned exclusively.

Apparently unable to lose the extra 20 pounds she's gained since December, the 5'5" 140-lb. popstar is currently negotiating to become the spokeswoman for NV, an allnatural appetite suppressant developed in Canada that promises to help a person drop 35 pounds in six weeks. "Britney is at her wit's end," a source close to the singer tells Star. "She wants to lose weight, but she's having the most difficult time doing it. Britney is feeling awful about herself right now." The unshed weight is even causing some of her friends to speculate that she is pregnant!

KEVIN'S CRUELTY?
Reports that her hard-partying husband, Kevin Federline, 27, was cavorting with a dancer in Las Vegas on Dec. 5 haven't helped the situation. Nor has Kevin's general lack of support. "Kevin is not on board with Britney's diet and exercise plan," says a source close to the popstar.

"She'll be lacing up her running shoes, getting ready for a long power walk on the beach outside their Malibu home, and Kevin will saunter into the bedroom and say, 'Hey, babe, let's go grab a bite.' And Britney can't resist."
