Britney’s divorce goes through - July 31 2007
Britney Spears’ marriage to Kevin Federline has officially ended after their divorce was finalised in a court hearing.
"They are divorced," lawyer Laura Wasser said of the troubled pop star and the aspiring rapper after the hearing in Los Angeles. "Everything is finalised."
A court commissioner signed orders for dissolution of marriage, an alimony agreement and child custody. The alimony agreement will not be made public unless there is an enforcement issue, Wasser said.
A decision on custody of the former couple’s two sons, 22-month-old Sean Preston Federline, and 10-month-old Jayden James Federline, is sealed until an August 14 hearing.
It was said "the best interests of the children could be harmed" if the arrangement was revealed.
Britney married backing dancer K-Fed in 2004, but filed for divorce in November 2006, citing "irreconcilable differences".
The couple had already reportedly signed a settlement agreement in March this year.
Britney’s maniac meltdown - July 25 2007
She had hoped that the shoot with OK! Magazine would endear her to the public once again, but sadly, the project has backfired on Britney.
The troubled star ruined the fashion shoot, which was done at her request, and in a shocking move, the celeb-friendly glossy has dished the dirt on the whole story.
Brit wiped her greasy hands on a 274 dollar pink silk designer gown during lunch, let her new puppy poop on a 6,700 dollar Zac Posen dress, and left before it was over, still wearing 14,526 dollars worth of OK’s borrowed designer clothing, the magazine told the New York Daily News.
"Brit dismissively refused to take it [the dress] off, and after consuming her meal, stood up and rubbed grease from her fingers into the front and back of the dress. It was ruined!" said Sarah Ivens, the magazine’s editor-in-chief.
"We’re really hoping that it will provide a wake-up call for her and for the people around her."
If that wasn’t enough, the singer also took frequent loo breaks with the door open and brought her assistant in with her. Classy...
The feature, which comes out in the US on Friday, could have ramifications on Britney’s home life, as it has reportedly prompted Kevin Federline to regroup with his lawyers in a bid to gain custody of his two sons with the singer.
Britney’s ’heartbreaking’ interview - July 25 2007
Britney Spears has spilled her story to OK! magazine.
In a statement to celebrity news Web site TMZ, OK! Editor-in-Chief Sarah Ivens said the magazine had "spent a heartbreaking day with Britney Spears and witnessed first-hand an emotional cry for help that will leave you shocked and sad."
TMZ said earlier it had "learned that Britney’s self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was a complete disaster" and that her behaviour during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown."
Earlier this month, the 25-year-old pop princess apologised for attacking a photographer’s car with an umbrella in February, saying at the time she was preparing to try out for a movie part and got carried away.
The incident took place during the same period in which Spears shaved her head, got new tattoos and was seen partying hard in Los Angeles clubs.
Not long after, the pop star, more recently derided as a pop tart for her highly public forays into midnight carousing, checked into a month-long stay in rehab.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
