Brit's Tats Disappearing Faster Than Her Career
Posted Mar 13th 2008 1:53PM by TMZ Staff

Sam Lutfi wasn't the only ugly mark removed from Britney Spears' life -- her neck tat is gone too!

During her unbeweaveable blondered days, Brit often flashed -- among other things -- her Hebrew neck tattoo. Last week, the brunetted poster child for conservatorships was spotted shopping sans any bad ink on her neck.

For now at least, it appears tattoo removal shops are the new gas stations!

Hasn't Jamie-Lynn made her own money yet?? Britney's still bailing out her family I guess...

[southernbelle]

I wonder if buying Jamie Lynn this new nursery was even Britney's decision, or just something that Jamie decided she was going to do. I find it hard to believe she'd voluntarily spend so much money lavishing Jamie Lynn with expensive gifts and nursery items when supposedly they aren't even talking.

Britney Spears "Talked About Clothes and Dogs" on TV Set
Friday March 14, 2008

So what was Britney Spears like on the How I Met Your Mother set?
"She was lovely," Alyson Hannigan told Usmagazine.com at the sitcom's re-launch party in West Hollywood Thursday.
"She’s just a person — so sweet and funny," Hannigan added. "We just talked about our clothes and dogs, and it was surprisingly just normal."
The rest of the cast couldn't stop raving about the actress — who shot scenes Wednesday and Thursday in L.A. — either.
"She’s beautiful," actor Jason Segel told Us. "You know, I was so focused on her hair that I’m overwhelmed with adjectives! She was great and lovely."
He said he wasn't surprised that Spears nailed her role as a dorky receptionist who falls for Ted (Josh Radnor).
"She was great," Segel added. "She was better than all five of us, so I guess that says a lot."
Added Cobie Smulders, "She was very professional and her comedic timing was great!"
The cast shrugged off rumors that Alicia Silverstone turned down a role on the show after learning that Spears was on board.
"I think there was some scheduling problems or something," Smulders said, adding that Scrubs star Sarah Chalke "came in at the last second."
Neil Patrick Harris said "there’s hope" Silverstone may still appear on the show at some point.
"She’s seemed to avoid that weird actress trap of only being able to do a very limited amount of things," he told Us. "She’s gone on to do interesting theater, so you’ve got to respect her chops now.
"She’s making smart choices so if she wants to come play with us, we’d be glad to have her!"
Spears' How I Met Your Mother episode airs March 24.

Singer wants power taken back from her father

• Mar 13, 2008 Britney Spears is fighting the ruling that gives her father complete control of her estate and affairs until July.

The singer’s lawyer, Jon Eardley, is claiming that the conservatorship was granted without the necessary five days notice, and so is invalid, reports BBC News.

In early February, a California state court granted temporary conservatorship to James Spears until July, when the order will presumably be reviewed.

However, there is also some doubt as to whether Eardley can legitimately represent Spears as, under the rules of the conservatorship, the singer is unable to appoint her own legal personnel without the involvement of her father or his lawyer.

Spears has been in constant court battles since early January, when she refused to return her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Miley Cyrus: 'I Cried About Jamie Lynn Spears'

Miley Cyrus has admitted that she cried after finding out good friend Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant.

The two teen sensations are good friends having both worked for the same children’s network Nickelodeon on their respected shows Hannah Montana and Zoey 101.

However, the younger sister of Britney Spears had her programme cancelled due to the pregnancy scandal.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Miley reveals: “When I first heard she was pregnant, I started crying. I was heartbroken to tell you the truth because she's my friend and I didn't want her life to change.

“But now she's actually getting really excited and even though it's a difficult situation, I'm happy for her now because she's happy that she made the choices she did."

The 15-year old also claims that she won’t be following in the same footsteps at Jamie Lynn’s troubled older sister Britney.

"Well, I'm aware that things can happen," she says. “But I keep my friends and family superclose and that really helps."

Neil Patrick Harris: "Britney Seems Fragile"
Posted Fri. Mar. 14, 2008 1:27pm by Noelle Hancock Filed Under Britney Spears, How I Met Your Mother, Josh Radnor, Neil Patrick Harris



Britney Spears was a true professional this week, arriving bright and early to the set of How I Met Your Mother. But that doesn’t mean the diva is completely gone — the singer wore her sunglasses the whole time she was in the studio. That didn’t stop Neil Patrick Harris from raving about Britney’s read-through on Tuesday.
"She's good,” he says. “She seemed a little nervous, she wore the big sunglasses the whole time. I think that's a bit of a security blanket.”
He adds: “But she seems very professional."
NPH (as we like to call him) does admit that Britney seems vulnerable in person. "Being up close to her, she seems like a very sort of fragile, kind of complicated person; it must be very strange to live in her life."
Spears plays a secretary at a dermatologist’s office in the upcoming episode. She shocked the cast by showing up to set at 7:30 a.m. Co-star Josh Radnor tells People: "It pains me to report that on the first day of the shoot, Britney knew her lines better than I knew mine. She's been great to work with."



Neil Patrick Harris says Britney was nervous but professional on set

[NicoleWasHere]

Of course living her life must be strange.... I mean, look how it was just a couple months ago. Duh.

[moomies]

"You know, I was so focused on her hair that I’m overwhelmed with adjectives! She was great and lovely."

Were the extentions that bad seeing them in person?



I think the cast of How I Met My Mother are either lying or completely being sarcasatic.

Massive Firing -- You Can't Do Dat to Brit!

Posted Mar 14th 2008 6:10PM by TMZ Staff
UCLA Medical Center is terminating at least 13 staff members and suspending at least six others for looking at the confidential medical records of Britney Spears while she was hospitalized there.

The LA Times reports that in addition to these firings, at least six doctors will face disciplinary action for snooping into her computerized records at the hospital.

According to the Times, UCLA officials admitted this wasn't the first time Spears' privacy had been compromised. Several employees were caught snooping into her records in September 2005 after she gave birth to her first son, Sean Preston, at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. A few of those employees were fired as well.

^ Holy crap

[Beeyotch]

I have to admit that while I wouldn't be stupid enough to access her medical records with my password (DUH, I'd like to keep my job thank you) I would definitely be looking over the shoulder of someone who was dumb enough to do the same. Curiosity would just be too strong to look away if it's right there...

[powerorchid]

O.o any of the sacked staff leak anything juicy? :p

[MrsMarsters]

Just that she has the IQ of an ant.

Casa de Douche




KFed and Daddy Jamie Spears will reportedly join forces to manage a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. This is a brilliant idea since neither of them are Mexican and L.A. definitely needs more Mexican restaurants. Money maker! Brit Brit will apparently fund the joint. When I say "Brit Brit will fund the joint" I mean Daddy Spears will use her money since he's the HBIC of her finances.
A source said, “K-Fed wants to take over a Mexican place in LA with him and Jamie as managers. The restaurant, called Casa Cordobes, has been a favorite of Kevin’s for a while. He ate there with Britney. Now the owner wants to retire he really wants to run it. Kevin and Jamie get along well nowadays and Jamie is keen to get back into the restaurant game.”
This sounds like a fucking 80s sitcom. They should let Brit Brit takeover the menu. Think of all the delicious things she could come up with! I'm thinking Frapp flan, Huevos Rancheetos, carne asucka and orange soda horchata.
