A disillusioned and distraught Britney Spears departed Los Angeles yesterday April 24th bound for London for the European leg of her world tour. Britney was shattered by the English tabloid story that broke today about her current boyfriend who after apparently claiming to be single and available turns out to have a wife and babies stashed at home. Britney who hid out in her bungalow in the grounds of L.A.'s swanky Beverly Hills Hotel all day was heard slamming doors and shouting and screaming at someone on the phone and at some hotel staff.
Britney who seemed to be alone until late in the afternoon when she was joined by her assistant was brought two packets of Marlboro light cigarettes at different intervals by hotel room service and has been seen chain smoking on her recent excursions out and about L.A. But the most notable sign of her condition was when Britney on the way to the international airport and on thinking she had given the media the slip jumped out of her SUV at a gas station sobbing and ran inside to buy some cheeto's cheese sticks and orange soda. But after spotting the media outside she quickly ducked out of view to wipe her teary eyes smearing her makeup before making a dash back to the car and speeding off to the airport. She stayed in the back of the car whilst her bags were unpacked and the police tried to clear the media horde and then a very spotty complexioned Britney Spears make her way onto her flight. Britney's first concert is at London's Wembley Arena on the 26th of April.
I feel sorry for her. I mean it can't be easy for anyone THAT famous to live in the public eye day-in and day-out. Everyone has a few tears when they break up with someone.
To find out from the press that your boyfriend is Married with kids and saying he has broken up with you? I mean come on, give the girl a break. Of course she's upset. Anyone would be.
You can do it (be famous) without having all the media attention like this though. Look at celebs like Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Gwenyth Paltrow, etc (there are more, I am just having a brain strain), they live their lives "in the public" but you don't hear as many things about them.
I think if you love the limelight and use the paparazzi to kick-start your career, you cant' turn around when you've "made it" and tell them to leave you alone.
Troubled pop princess Britney Spears' minders hurled abuse at photographers after they snapped the singer crying outside a London hotel over the weekend.
The hitmaker returned to her hotel in the British capital in tears at 3 a.m. after performing in Manchester.
As paparazzi rushed to photograph the pop babe, her bodyguards tried to stop the snappers from getting close to Spears, and one allegedly shouted an obscenity.
Spears' weekend woes are the latest in a string of public breakdowns. According to reports, friends and family are concerned about her emotional health.
Earlier in her British tour, Spears' received a lecture from 'N Sync singer JC Chasez, who is opening her UK gigs -- who criticized her for her infamous Las Vegas wedding in January.
A friend tells British tabloid the Daily Star, "She's on a roller coaster of highs and lows at the moment and when she's low, she's very low.
"She was really upset by JC's words. They were very hurtful, especially since she's given him his first big, solo break as her support act on this tour."
Everyone's having a go at poor Britney, no wonder she's in tears all the time. I heard Justin T was expressing his worries about her "mental state" as well. I guess it's nice to know people care when you have a break down, but it is SO not good to have to do it in the public eye.
I have always (well not always) wanted to start a magazine called "Paparazzi" and follow the papparazi around all the time and take photos of them crying and looking horrible first thing in the morning and publishing the fact that their wives left them for a 20 year old or whatever. Some one needs to get these guys back.
LOVESICK Britney Spears has flown her dancer boyfriend to the UK so he can spend the rest of her tour with her, according to reports The pop princess apparently told friends she could not continue without hunky Kevin Federline by her side.
So she forked out more than £6000 to jet the Justin Timberlake lookalike to London.
A source said: 'She really doesn't want to be on tour. But if she has to do it, she wants to spend as much time with Kevin as she can.'
The New York Post claims the pair met up at a friend's house where they slipped into a bathroom for some quality 'alone' time.
I don't get it. One minute they've broken up becasue she found out he has girlfriend and she is pregnant. Then they say they broke up because he broke it off with her on radio. Now they are still together and he is going with her on tour. Make up your mind girl.
I don't like the naval piercing. I think that Kevin looks a bit like Justin. I do feel sorry for her. Kevin sounds like a real jerk. Think of how his wife must feel too.
They say the actual piercing doesn't hurt, but it hurts afterwards because you're not used to it and you knock it around a bit until you start remembering it's there.
I would love to get one, but I have to do a few sit-up first
Pop star Britney Spears is so shaken by criticism of her current European tour she's flown her new dancer boyfriend 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to be by her side.
Despite revelations that Kevin Federline's long-term girlfriend is seven months pregnant, Britney and her new boyfriend enjoyed a saucy naked romp in a hotel swimming pool after her gig in London last week.
However, despite Britney's keenness on Federline sources say her management -- already worried about the singer's state of mind -- are concerned about the relationship.
A source says, "She was desperate to see Kevin. She had totally fallen for him and her aides are concerned that she is very distracted from her work as a result of the relationship.
"When Kevin arrived in London he was smuggled in and out of the hotel and then the concert so no one would know he was there. After the gig Britney took him back to the hotel and they had the pool door opened especially for them.
"Britney had just come off stage so she was hot and sweaty. She and Kevin just stripped off and jumped in.
"There is a lot of concern for Britney and her state of mind. She is not herself and she is finding it hard being away from home and facing the demands of a tour."
BRITNEY SPEARS sneaked her boyfriend into her plush London hotel for a naked midnight swim.
The troubled pop princess was so lonely she jetted dancer KEVIN FEDERLINE 5,000 miles from Los Angeles and frolicked with him in the rooftop pool.
Britney defied her bosses to bring Kevin to the UK to help her cope on tour. The singer has been “stressed out” by all the negative publicity surrounding her shows.It seems she is finding it “hard to concentrate” on performing after she was slaughtered for MIMING most of her set.
Kevin arrived on Sunday and was sneaked into the five-star Berkeley Hotel, in Knightsbridge, West London, where Britney has the penthouse suite.
The following evening he watched her Wembley Arena concert from the side of the stage. Then the star whisked him back to the Berkeley for their swim.
A source close to Britney said: “She was desperate to see Kevin. She has totally fallen for him and her aides are concerned that she is very distracted from her work as a result of the relationship.
"When Kevin arrived in London he was smuggled in and out of the hotel and then the concert so no one would know he was there.
“After the gig, Britney took him back to the hotel and they had the pool opened especially for them.
“Britney had just come off stage so she was hot and sweaty.
“On the drive back to the hotel she rang ahead and asked them to open the pool as a special favour to her.
“Then she and Kevin just stripped off and jumped in.”
Britney was recently snapped with Kevin on a California beach.
Their romance has caused outrage in the US, where Kevin’s girlfriend — actress SHAR JACKSON — is seven months pregnant with his baby.
Shar, who says she has been with Kevin for four years, is already the mother of their first child.
She said of Kevin’s liaison with Britney: “This is a big thing. It isn’t like breaking up a relationship, it’s like breaking up a family. He can come home and we’ll talk.”
But it sounds like Kevin, who has danced for Britney’s ex JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, has no intention of going back home.
He spent most of Tuesday holed up in Britney’s suite watching DVDs (and doing whatever else they got up to in private).
Doubts have been cast over whether Britney will complete her world tour after reports emerged that she had threatened to quit.
She is under contract to do a series of European dates and a tour of the Far East.
The source said: “There is a lot of concern for Britney and her state of mind.
“She is not herself and she is finding it hard being away from home and facing all the demands of a tour.
“She is besotted with Kevin and it seems she can’t function without him.
“She is very young and impressionable yet she has an enormous responsibility to her fans and to her record label to do this tour.
“We just hope she can find a way of coping better or there could be serious problems.”
Britney Spears and her new beau Kevin Federline are enjoying the delights of Amsterdam, Holland -- allegedly sampling all the city has to offer and taking advantage of its relaxed cannabis laws.
According to British newspaper the Sun, the singer, 22, jetted her new boyfriend 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to join her on the European leg of her Onyx Hotel Tour.
A source says, "Judging by their cafe excursion, they were enjoying everything the Dutch capital has to offer."
In other Britney news, the tired pop princess has reportedly axed the Far East leg of her tour, due to exhaustion.
Spears reportedly told bosses to cancel the July dates in the Far East as she is too tired to stay on road.
A source says, "Things haven't been going too well for Britney at all.
"She's been very ill and hasn't had the time to fully recover."
The blonde superstar will play her last European date in Dublin, Ireland on June 6 before returning to America.
The source adds, "Britney also wants to spend more time with her new boyfriend."
BRITNEY GETS A HARSH MESSAGE FROM BEAU'S FURIOUS EX
The pregnant ex of Britney Spears' new beau is telling the pop beauty she's welcome to her man - because they both smoke, drink and "cheat."
On April 26, former "Moesha" star Shar Jackson learned that her boyfriend of three years, dancer Kevin Federline -- father of their 2-year-old daughter Kori and July-due son - cheated on her with Spears.
Federline then told a devastated Jackson that he was going to Japan to shoot a Coca-Cola commercial, when in fact he joined Spears in London, where she kicked off her European tour.
And in an exclusive interview with US Weekly, Jackson - who was briefly hospitalized for stress-induced weight loss during Federline's trip to Europe - lays out a few harsh facts for the ex-girlfriend of Justin Timberlake.
She says of the sexy singer, "She can't wreck a home by herself, but if you're a real woman and you find out someone you're seeing has extra baggage, you say, 'Go home and take care of your business.'
"If she and Kevin want to be a couple, then that's fine with me. But there are two little kids she better be prepared to babysit.
"They might be perfect for each other. You both smoke, you both drink and you both cheated on significant others after three years. You guys are made for each other. Have a good life."

I agree that Kevin shoud have sorted his life out before getting together with Britney, but Shar also seems really bitter about the whole thing, which is understandable, but taking it to the press and airing it all for the world seems a bit OTT for me.
Sexy singer Britney Spears has been caught smoking pot with boyfriend Kevin Federline in Amsterdam, Holland.
The pop superstar told regulars at The Bulldog coffee shop in Amsterdam, where marijuana use is legal, that she enjoyed pot smoking, according to American magazine In Touch.
One customer, Marc Van Der Vlies, told reporters, "Britney was smoking a joint, for sure. She was in a very good mood. She said to Kevin, 'I love the smell of it, it's really awesome.'"
BRITNEY SPEARS fled a concert in Germany in a flood of tears.
It’s the latest in the ongoing saga of troubles that has hit the star during her Onyx Hotel tour.
The pop princess ran off stage in Berlin this week and jumped straight into her waiting black Mercedes — even as the final chords were still echoing around the hall.
Britney sped back to her suite at the Hotel InterConti and arrived with her face streaked with make-up.
An onlooker said: “Dozens of fans were waiting for her outside the hotel. She rushed straight past them with her baseball cap pulled right down over her eyes.
“But everyone could see she had been crying her eyes out on the limo journey. Her mascara was streaming down her face.”
Sources close to the star say she is rapidly sinking into depression.
Her tour has been widely criticised because Britney mimes for most of the show.
And at many of her concerts she has appeared wooden, as if she’s simply going through the motions.
Britney is said to be desperate to end the tour and return home. Her managers have already cancelled the South East Asia leg of the world tour.
Word is that Britney’s mind is not on the job because of her passionate affair with KEVIN FEDERLINE.
Britney was missing the dancer so much on the European leg of the tour she flew him to London.
They were then spotted partying in Amsterdam and Malaga in Spain.
Despite reports he’s now flown home I can reveal Kevin’s still with Britney, who spends all her free time with him.
Yesterday the Spears roadshow flew into Lyon in France. Let’s hope that last night’s show didn’t end in tears, too.
Poor Britney, all she does lately is cry. I think if she had a "real" man in her life instead of all these morons, she might have some security and not be so stressed and not be so teary. It's a shame she has to go through all this.
Relatives of troubled pop beauty Britney Spears are seriously worried about her mental health -- after she rushed off stage in Berlin, Germany, in tears.
The superstar, 22, has been struggling to cope with her huge workload as she continues her Onyx Hotel tour in Europe, and sources close to Britney fear the situation is only going to get worse.
Britney is reportedly desperate to return home to her mother Lynne after suffering the worst reviews of her career for the raunchy stage show. But with contractual obligations preventing her from ditching the tour, miserable Britney is getting more and more depressed.
And the depth of her anguish was clearly demonstrated when she ran off the stage in the German capital and fled to a waiting car, before ignoring fans as she ran into her hotel.
A source tells British newspaper the Sun, "Dozens of fans were waiting for her outside the hotel.
"She rushed straight past them with her baseball cap pulled right down over her eyes. But everyone could see she had been crying her eyes out on the limo journey. Her mascara was streaming down her face."
Britney Loses The On-Stage Smooch, For Her Man; However The Lip-Synching Continues
Britney Spears has scrapped a sexy smooch from her stage show to keep her new boyfriend from getting jealous. During the Onyx Hotel Tour Britney stops for a long kiss with a back-up dancer; but the scene was dropped, apparently after her new man Kevin Federline.
A source says: "Britney made him promise not to fool around, so Kevin thinks she should do the same. It's only fair."
schmiggens said this in post #37 : A source says: "Britney made him promise not to fool around, so Kevin thinks she should do the same. It's only fair."
Considering they are together only because he cheated on his pregnant girlfriend I find this really hard to believe. Britney also has been accused of cheating of former partners. They say "once a cheater always a cheater", so they might both be just wasting their breath. Although you never know, they might be made for eachother and this might be "it". But I am skeptical.
The aunt of Britney Spears' new man has given the couple her blessing, insisting he was single when the pop superstar fell for him.
Diana Story has dismissed reports that Spears stole her nephew Kevin Federline from the arms of his actress ex Shar Jackson, who is expecting his second child.
And now, Story has come forward with what she insists is the truth -- telling Us Weekly that Federline's relationship with Jackson was over long before he met Spears.
She says, "Their romantic relationship had been over before Britney, but he is giving her (Jackson) money and taking care of his responsibilities."
WHY then has this taken so long to emerge? Why did no one else come forward and say "No he was single when he met Britney"? Not even Britney herself has come forward to say he was single. I think if he really was single when they met, we would've heard about it when they first started dating or when we first found out that he had a pregnant "ex" girlfriend.
Pop babe Britney Spears will have to do all the driving on her dates with new lover Kevin Federline -- after the dancer has been banned from driving.
Federline, 26, has had his driving license suspended after he failed to pay two $255 fines for not paying on a toll road and driving without plates.
A court clerk in Orange County, California said, "If he gets pulled over for anything his car will be impounded and he could go to jail."
Federline is currently accompanying his famous lover on her Onyx Hotel Tour in Europe, while his ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson awaits the birth of their second child back in America this summer.
SPEARS' BOYFRIEND'S EX PLANS TO RELEASE CHEATING SONG
The pregnant ex-girlfriend of Britney Spears' boyfriend Kevin Federline plans to retaliate by releasing a single about being dumped.
Actress Shar Jackson -- who is the mother of Federline's four-year-old daughter and is currently pregnant with his second child -- is set to release a song about her experiences of being cheated on.
Jackson says, "I've written three songs about this whole thing for my band Mpulz."
Spears reportedly stole dancer Federline away from Jackson last month.

Kevin's Aunt Says, "Britney Is Not A Homewrecker!"
Britney Spears IS NOT A HOMEWRECKER. AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT dancer Kevin Federline's aunt, Diane Story, of Pendleton, Oregon, tell Hot Stuff. According to Story, Federline's relationship with actress Shar Jackson, 27, who is eight months pregnant with his child (and is the mom of their 2-year-old daughter, Kori), dissolved long before Spears appeared. "Their romantic relationship had been over before Britney," she says, "but he is giving her money and taking care of his responsibilities."
An insider reports that Federline, 26, has also been helping Spears, 22, by taming her party ways. But intimates complain she hasn't made the best of her newfound free time. "Britney's put on a lot of weight, but doesn't care," the source says. "She's hating every minute of the tour. All she does when she's not onstage is sit in her room, eat, drink, and watch TV." (A Spears rep cracked, "If only I could be as fat as she is.") Meanwhile, in GQ'S June issue, Spears's ex-hubby, Jason Alexander, 22, says he hasn't received a dime from the pop star, and that-yep-he may pursue acting. One of his top choices for a leading lady? Christina Aguilera. "I wouldn't mind doing some work with her," he says.

According to In Touch Weekly, Britney Spears' mother Lynne approves of her new romance with Kevin Federline. 'Britney was acting out, and nothing Lynne said was getting through to her,' a tour source revealed. 'But she listened to Kevin. He laid it on the line, telling Britney to grow up, get real, and not let everyone down. Until then, a lot of people, including Lynne, were uneasy about Kevin's influence over Britney. Now they're all saying he's the best thing for her.'

I thought Britney and her mum were really close? I wonder what Kevin had to say that was so profound that it got through to her after her mum couldn't get through. Well I guess it doesn't matter WHO got through, as long as someone did. Britney definately needed a good talking too!
Pop beauty Britney Spears has had her first fight with new love Kevin Federline -- after ignoring his desperate pleas for her to stop flirting with her male dancers.
The saucy singer danced with other men in a trip to Copenhagen's Pan Gay Club last month and ignored her 26-year-old beau -- much to his obvious displeasure.
But when Federline confronted the sexy singer over her antics, furious Britney reacted angrily by storming back to her hotel without him.
A source close to the singer says, "He was sitting on the sofa in the VIP room with a scowl on his face -- he was not enjoying watching Britney cavorting with other guys like that.
"Poor Kevin was stranded. Britney took their ride home. He had such a go at her when he got back. They didn't speak for more than a day after that."
Pop beauty Britney Spears has had her first fight with new love Kevin Federline -- after ignoring his desperate pleas for her to stop flirting with her male dancers.
Considering she cheated on Justin with one of her dancers, I would be a bit worried if I was Kev. She should have more respect for her beaus.
Pop babe Britney Spears and her new boyfriend Kevin Federline have immortalized their love for each other -- by having matching tattoos inked into their skin.
The pop superstar and dancer Federline -- who is expecting his second child with jilted actress Shar Jackson this summer -- went to a tattoo parlor in Ireland on Monday to undergo the body art.
Britney was tattooed with a pair of pink dice on her left inner wrist, while Federline opted for a larger image of blue dice on his right forearm.
Salon owner Maurice Gallagher says, "It was a special commission. She specifically asked for that design."
The sexy singer now has a collection of four tattoos -- her others include a small fairy and a Chinese symbol on her hip.
Pop beauty Britney Spears' relationship with new love Kevin Federline is getting serious -- the happy couple are moving in together.
The singer has spent big on a lavish property situated on Governor's Island, N.H. -- an area so exclusive only the mega-rich can buy there.
And according to sources, Britney is already desperate to conclude her Onyx Hotel tour in order to spend some quality time with dancer Federline at the tranquil love nest.
A source says of the three-bedroom house: "It's stunning. It has amazing views over Lake Winnipesaukee and is far from the hustle and bustle Britney is so desperate to get away from. She says she can't wait to move in and get to know the area."
And Britney is certain she has found the perfect man to share her life with.
An insider says, "They've spent so much time together on the tour it practically feels like they live together anyway. Britney feels he brings out a side to her she didn't know she had and makes her forget about her problems."
I really hope this works out for Britney, although everyone is giving her hassle about it not being right and being wierd and all that, You should never judge a relationship from the outside and I think Britney does deserve some happiness after the **** she's had to deal with over the years. Good Luck to them!
Shar Jackson, the pregnant ex-girlfriend of Britney Spears' fiance Kevin Federline, joined Halle Berry, Eddie Murphy's wife Nicole and funnyman Chris Tucker on the catwalk at a charity fashion show over the weekend.
Jackson, who's set to give birth to Ferderline's second child later this month, showed off actress Holly Robinson Peete's maternity line at the sixth annual Mercedes Benz Design Cure Fundraiser for Parkinson's Disease.
Speaking backstage at the event, Jackson told reporters she's no longer bitter about her break-up with Britney's new fiance -- but she does expect him to be in the delivery room when she gives birth.
She says, "I don't remember Britney getting an invitation quite yet. I want to meet her after I've had the baby. But (Federline) is supposed to be there."
Soon to be married Britney Spears was reported to have been less than amused when she spotted fiancé Kevin Federline and chatting chummily with a sexy sales assistant while they were shopping at trendy Fred Segal on Melrose Avenue according to the national enquirer.
The newspaper reported that when she popped out of the changing booth where she was trying on a dress, on seeing him with the sales assistant and called to him, whats the matter with you.
Then grabbing Kevin's arm she pulled him away from the girl, while Kevin protested his innocence saying he wasn't flirting and that he was just talking with her.
Apparently a livid Britney literally dragged him into the booth for some serious words.
Moments later she headed for the exit, tossing the dress at the girl in question as he followed quietly behind!
