| Posted by: schmiggens | | Kevin Federline Britney Spear's fiance has already walked down the aisle once before. Aged 15 Federline helped his first love Felicia Cabiero officially become a woman in a coming of age ceremony. At a church service held in Clovis, California Federline and his high school sweeheart took part in a 'Quinceaneras', a traditional Mexican ceremony held when girls turn 15 and are considered women. Federline and his girlfriend later at the party take to the dance floor and waltz together. Cabiero and Federline were a couple for three years.

Daddy's girl ... Britney with open-mouthed Jamie
THE MILLERS’ delight at welcoming Jude to the family was a far cry from the frosty reception KEVIN FEDERLINE got from fiancée BRITNEY SPEARS’ folks.
And no wonder. The jobless dancer turned up for dinner in LA looking like a double for stroppy Kevin The Teenager.

Mind the gap ... star's dad gives Kevin a wide berth
As you can see from our Chilly Gap, Britney’s open-mouthed dad JAMIE was less than impressed with unshaven Kevin.
He kept his distance and gave him a long, hard stare as Kev turned up in baggy shorts, trainers and a baseball cap.

Almost-stepmom Britney Spears' rather complex family tree just sprouted another branch.
The ex-girlfriend of fiancé Kevin Federline gave birth to her second child Tuesday by the future pop-star husband, People magazine is reporting.
Actress Shar Jackson, who played Niecy on Moesha during that teen sitcom's 1996-2001 run, went into labor at an Orange County, California, hospital, the magazine said.
Federline, a dancer, missed the 10:30 a.m. delivery, People said, but arrived at the hospital a few hours later.
Spears did not accompany Federline, the magazine reported.
It was not known if Jackson and Federline's latest production was a boy or girl. The ex-couple already have a two-year-old daughter, Kori.
In all, the 27-year-old Jackson now has four children, her manager confirmed to E! Entertainment Television.
Jackson and Federline, 26, were a couple for about four years before last spring when Federline became smitten with Spears.
In April, Spears, fresh off her 55-hour Vegas marriage, and Federline went public with their romance; the pregnant and dumped Jackson went public with her ire.
"There are two little kids--she [Spears] better be prepared to babysit," Jackson told Us Weekly.
Spears recently told People that she definitely, as the magazine put it, "plans to meet Federline's kids."
The 22-year-old singer, currently laid up with a knee injury, also said she definitely plans to have--presumably even meet--her own kids.
"I see myself with four or five," Spears told People.
Spears put herself on the family fast track last month, announcing her engagement to Federline. No date for the nuptials has been announced, although a November ring exchange has been rumored.
As for the now-two-time father, Federline said he is nothing if not a committed parent.
"I love my children more than life itself," Federline recently told People. "My kids will always be part of my life." | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | SPEARS LOOKS AT FAMILY PAD IN MALIBU
Britney Spears has been house-hunting for a mansion to house her fiance's growing family -- and is keen on a swanky $4 million Malibu, Calif., villa.
The 22-year-old singer spent an hour looking at the five-bedroom property near popular Zuma Beach, as part of her quest to find a home for her and boyfriend Kevin Federline where his two children -- daughter Kori, 2, and son Shaz, born on July 20, can visit.
A source says, "It looked like they loved it. They were in there for ages, then seemed to seal the deal with a lingering kiss in the driveway."
Spears met Federline's eldest child Kori last week for the first time.
Kori's mother Shar Jackson says, "Britney painted her finger nails and it really seemed like they had a blast." | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Britney Spears buys flowers to celebrate birth
Britney Spears bought flowers for her fiancé Kevin Federline to celebrate the birth of his second child with his ex-girlfriend.
The sexy star was spotted with the bouquet after Kevin visited his former fiancé, Shar Jackson, in the Californian hospital where she is resting after the birth.
Kevin's mother, Collette, confirmed the new arrival yesterday (21.07.04), saying: "Just look at the smile on my face. We're very happy."
The pop princess - who announced her engagement to former dancer Kevin, earlier this month after a whirlwind five-month romance - was spotted kissing and hugging the proud father on the balcony of their apartment after his hospital visit.
Britney then stroked her fiancé's face as they discussed about the new baby, which Britney will become stepmother to when the couple wed in November.
Kevin also has a two-year-old daughter, Kori, from his three-year relationship with 'Moesha' star Shar, who claims she bears no ill-will towards Britney.
Shar said: "You should never blame the other woman, never. After I met her and everything is cool, we can be one big happy family."
Meanwhile, Britney is reportedly set to sign a pre-nuptial agreement with 26-year-old Kevin.
Earlier this month, it was claimed the sexy star refused her family's demand to sign the document to protect her $100million fortune because she wants to marry for love. | | Reply To this Message

Shar Jackson revealed to Us Weekly that she named her baby boy (fathered by Spears' fiancé, Kevin Federline) Kaleb Michael Jackson after Paul Walker's character in the movie "The Skulls," while the middle name is after Federline's father. "Yeah, it's funny that 'Michael Jackson' is in there, but his name is Kaleb Michael," she told the magazine. Jackson said that Federline arrived after her nearly eight-hour labor and delivery was over, and since then, they've been talking almost every day. ... | | Reply To this Message

Big step for Britney
Britney Spears, 22, is gearing up for her role as stepmother, meeting one of the two children fathered by her fiancé, Kevin Federline, 26, with his ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, 27.
People reports that on Aug. 5, Federline brought 2-year-old Kori to the Los Angeles set where Spears was filming a perfume commercial. Spears "wanted to go to the trailer to see her whenever she could," director Dave Meyers told the mag. Spears "was spirited and really happy."
The trio posed for pictures, People reports, but the family portrait isn't quite complete. Brit has yet to meet Jackson or Federline's newest child, a son, 5-week-old Kaleb.
People says there is no ill will between Spears and Jackson. (And rumors that Spears bought Jackson a home in Orange County are not true, the magazine says.) Rather, the timing just hasn't been right.
Brit has been busy in the months before her wedding (no official date yet). She has been shopping with her mother. There was a trip to Hawaii with Federline and a new home to purchase and fumigate in California.
Naturally, Jackson's busy, too, what with two tots in tow. But she also has The Shar Jackson Project, a reality show she's making that will showcase the struggles of being a single parent while pursuing a music and acting career.
That full family portrait could surface sooner than we think.

The mother of Britney Spears' future stepchildren was the star attraction at a pop party in California Wednesday night when she turned up unexpected at radio station KIIS FM's annual JoJo Jam concert.
Actress Shar Jackson looked stunning -- just a month after giving birth to dancer her son Kaleb -- in a pink T-shirt and jeans.
The former "Moesha" star received a standing ovation from concert goers when she was introduced on stage at the Knott's Berry Farm theme park -- her first public outing since giving birth -- and her night was made extra special when Spears' 'N Sync pal JC Chasez dedicated a song to her.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Britney Spears is becoming more and more involved in her fiancé Kevin Federline's life, accompanying him on a trip to drop off her future stepchildren at the home they share with Kevin's ex.
The pop diva was with the dancer when he dropped off the youngsters at their house in Los Angeles. Britney had already met Kevin's daughter Kori, but she had never before come face-to-face with his ex Shar Jackson, who is also the mother of his newborn son Kaleb.
And it would seem the couple, who announced their engagement in June, are also growing closer in their professional lives. Kevin is to take a starring role in Britney's latest pop video, a cover of the Bobby Brown hit My Prerogative
The 27-year-old will not have to perform any fancy footwork in the clip, because his leading lady is still recovering from an injury she suffered back in June. "Britney's knee is unable to do choreography," revealed the 22-year-old's mother Lynne. "The video is all about capturing gorgeous close-ups and very subtle movement."
Also appearing in the new video will be her brother Brian. "Look out for that good-looking hunk of a son of mine," said the siblings' proud mum.

"Her family suspect's Kevin's relatives are selling personal information to the tabloids, and Britney is very upset," a source close to Britney revealed.
That's a big reason why she's keeping the wedding details secret. "When the invitations come out, she knows they will be on the phone trying to get a fast buck," the source added.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | I always wonder about that with a Celbrity dating a "normal" person, their family must be loving it, getting all this extra attention and being able to sell stories and stuff. You wouldn't get that with two famous people dating because their familes would be used to all the attention already. I guess eventually, when Kevin's dad is busted for drugs or his sister marries her cousin or some such thing and their faces are splashed all over the news, they'll realise that being famous sometimes isn't all it's cracked up to be. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Shar Clears The Air On Britney Rumors
http://www.inreview.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=453466
Access Hollywood was with Shar during her birthday weekend where she sat down with our correspondent Lizza Monet Morales to talk about her close encounter at Joseph's night club last Monday.
"We went in, danced the night away and then Kevin and Britney showed up," Shar told us. "It was cool, so I went over and said 'Hello.'"
But the rumor mill was churning out a different story.
Rumor #1: Shar stormed Britney and Kevin's table.
"I stormed over to the table?" Shar asked in disbelief. "Dude, I'm such a laid-back person. I'm not storming anywhere."
Okay, let's try the second tidbit of speculation.
Rumor #2: Shar was stopped by security.
"Not I said the cat," Shar said with a smile. "Her security is actually a good friend of mine…so unless he stopped me in the name of love, it didn't happen."
Alright, strike two.
How about the most outrageous rumor of all? Well, we didn't even have to ask.
"Can I clear one more rumor 'cause I heard one," Shar asked Lizza.
"Please do," Lizza responded.
"I heard we had a dance-off, Britney and I," Jackson revealed. "This is not 'You Got Served,' so none of that happened. It's not 'Breakin' 2' – no 'Electric Bugaloo.' I'm not doing any dance-offs...not unless a camera is there. No, I'm just kidding. It's just jokes."

| Posted by: schmiggens | | BRITNEY BLASTED FOR MAKING TWO-YEAR-OLD A PAPARAZZI TARGET
Shar Jackson, the ex girlfriend of Britney Spears' fiance Kevin Federline, has blasted the pop star and her new love for turning her life into a paparazzi nightmare.
The actress fears Spears' decision to allow photographers to snap a family portrait with herself, fiance Federline and his 2-year-old daughter with Jackson, Cory, has endangered her child's safety.
Jackson was far from happy when she saw the "family portrait" on the front cover of People magazine last month -- and not just because it featured her daughter with her superstar stepmother-to-be.
She says, "I can't leave her (Cory) alone. You know how sometimes you take your kids to the park, you let them run around. I can't do that. I have to sit there and watch her like an eagle now. It's very, very scary.
"Somebody came in my backyard and was like trying to take pictures through the house. I called the cops."
Jackson is determined not to let the same thing happen to her newborn baby son, Kaleb.
She adds, "She (Britney) hasn't even met Kaleb yet."

I think it's better for Celebrities to let Photographers have posed photos, hopefully taking away the pressure for them to try and get the candid out in the street photos.

These photographs prove Britney Spears' new hubby is a real dope. The exclusive pictures show Kevin Federline, who wed his pop princess in a secret ceremony at the weekend, caught on camera getting high. According to a school friend, dancer Kevin loved to spend his teenage years in a haze of smoke.
In one photo dopey Federline, 26, is seen grinning at the camera with a huge spliff hanging from his mouth. In another he proudly poses with drugs paraphernalia on his lap. In a third he smiles as he takes a huge drag on a glass pipe stuffed with the potent drug. And in one snap the cheeky dad-of-two even stands next to his mum - wearing a white T-shirt with the word 'cannabis' plastered across it.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | BRITNEY: 'MY HUSBAND PAYS HIS OWN WAY'
Newlywed superstar Britney Spears has slammed media reports claiming her new husband Kevin Federline relies on her for money.
The furious star insists Federline always pays his own way and never asks her to dip into her $108 million fortune -- he even took out a loan to pay for her wedding ring.
She blasts, "I am very annoyed with some reports speculating such [garbage] that I had to pay for the wedding myself and that I even had to buy my own ring.
"It's simply so not true. Kevin took out a loan to contribute towards the wedding and so he could buy me my band. He insisted.
"It's so hurtful when this kind of thing comes out. Kevin pays his own way and I wouldn't have it any other way."
Before the marriage -- which occurred at a private home in Studio City, Calif., last Saturday -- Federline signed a pre-nuptial agreement stopping him from getting his hands on Britney's cash if they split.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | You are all no doubt worried about Britney Speras' marriage to her broke dancer, Kevin Federline, hwo long will it last, when are they going to have kids, that sort of thing. Maybe we should just be worried that she'll make it out alive. Kevvie's getting lessons from one of Brit's bodyguards on how to use a gun, according to The Sun.
Kevvie and the bouncer went out for target sessions while they were hanging out in Britney's home town of Kentwood Louisiana. And it's all to protect our favourite pop tart.
"Kevin decided he needed to do it in case anything shoudl happen to Britney" a source told the Sun. "She's not keen but Kevin is insistant. He's seen some of the strange people who follow her around".
And she's married some even stranger ones.

We're Engaged! - People's best selling issue of 2004
Showing how bad news can be more riveting than good, the 'Eating Disorder Crisis' issue, at 1.8 million copies far outsold People's sunnier interview with the twins, at 1.3 million.
People magazine raised its cover price this month by 20 cents - to $3.49, tops among the four celebrity weeklies - and yesterday showed why it'll probably get away with the move.
People said its average single-copy sale rose last year to 1,477,000 - its highest since 1997 (not counting the spike in sales four years ago tied to issues about 9/11).
With subscriptions, People's total circulation in its 30th-anniversary year grew 2% over 2003, to some 3.7 million.
Last year's newsstand level - 2.4% higher than in 2003 - was all the more striking given the increased competition in the field of celebrity weeklies and celeb-crazed broadcasts.
The competition included American Media's glossy overhaul of the Star last year, the growth of Us Weekly and In Touch Weekly, which Bauer Publishing sells for a cut-rate $1.99, and the company's spin-off of Life & Style Weekly last fall.
Numbers being submitted by People to the Audit Bureau of Circulations will show the mag, owned by Time Inc., had 19 issues last year that sold more than 1.5 million copies each on newsstands.
At the top - below the year-ending "Best and Worst," a perennial single-copy champ - were back-to-back issues published in July.
"We're Engaged!" - a cover package featuring an interview with Britney Spears and Kevin Federline - sold 1.9 million copies.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Fed Up About Federline
Anonymous writes "I am really getting sick of all the jokes about Britney Spears’ more recent marriage (the one that lasted longer then 2 days). More so, I am sick of everyone calling Kevin Federline trailer trash. That is very disrespectful to call somebody trailer trash for two reasons. One being that you are using a person's home, who cannot afford better, to hurt someone else. That's horrible. It is a direct dis to Kevin, but worse it is a dis to the hundreds of thousands of people in this nation that reside in a trailer park. That is like calling someone a food-stamp junkie. It's just wrong. And two, Kevin has a better life then you. He married Britney Spears....where are you? So no matter how trashy he looks, he still is doing better and is worth more then you. So in my opinion....no one has the right to make fun of him."

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Those shots are of a papparazzi video of Britney, Kevin and Lori and it looks like Britney is trying really hard to be a good step-mum and friend to Kori, but she kind of looks like she doesn't know what to do either. But it's cute to see.
ALso though, this video is obviously someone sticking their head over a fence or whatever to film them and Britney seems to know that they are there. That would be so wierd, going out for a swim and having people peeping over the fence and there's not really anything you can do about it. It would be especially wierd to see the fottage yourself, it shows her and Kavin pashing on the lounge by the pool.
I feel kind of bad watching, they should be entitled to privacy in their own home. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | SPEARS MISSING STEP-DAUGHTER
Pop beauty BRITNEY SPEARS' burgeoning relationship with her step-daughter KORI is going so well, the singer can't bear to be apart from the young tot.
Spears' husband KEVIN FEDERLINE infamously left his then-pregnant girlfriend, former MOESHA actress SHAR JACKSON to be with the superstar last April (04). Jackson is mother to his two children - Kori, three, and KALEB, seven months.
On the TOXIC hitmaker's official website, Spears laments, "I haven't seen Kori in two weeks because I've been home in Louisiana with my mom. Hopefully Kori can come here for a visit soon because I miss her so much. I bought her the cutest dresses for Easter and to wear this summer. I love buying kids clothes."

| Posted by: schmiggens | | FEDERLINE TOLD OFF OVER HEMP LEAF TATTOO
BRITNEY SPEARS' new husband KEVIN FEDERLINE was once berated by former talk show host ROSIE O'DONNELL for sporting a marijuana leaf tattoo on his arm.
Federline reveals O'Donnell challenged him when he was a backing dancer for the likes of MICHAEL JACKSON, PINK and 'N SYNC, because she thought his image set a bad example to Spears' young fans.
While Federline brushed off her comments at the time, he has since had the tattoo replaced with an Egyptian design.
He says, "I had a jail-style weed-leaf tattoo on my arm... I got *****ed out by Rosie O'Donnell. (She said) 'You're gonna go out there and you got a weed leaf on your arm?' She's like, 'What about all these kids that look up to you?' We were backstage at one of Britney's concerts. I wasn't even listening."
Federline insists O'Donnell's comments had nothing to do with his decision to change the design: "It represented another time in my life. It was time for a change. So I turned it into a scarab with pyramids in the sun."

| Posted by: schmiggens | | These days Britney's dancers do a lot worse than just have a tattoo on their arms of a mully. They have sex and get nude and all sorts of things. She even had dancers with fake tatoos of death and stuff for her recent concert tour.
Why doesn't Rosie O'Donell harp on to Britney about those things?
Why is Rosie at a Britney concert anyway? Not only that but she's back stage at the gig, close enough to make out the dancers tattoos? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Britney almost split from hubby 3 weeks after wedding
Britney Spears has confessed that she almost split with her second husband - just three weeks after they wed.
The pop babe, who married former dancer Kevin Federline in September, initially denied reports that the couple were having problems last year, less than a month after they exchanged vows.
She told America's Allure magazine: "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?"
The newlyweds married six months ago after a whirlwind five-month romance during which Kevin left his pregnant fiancé for Britney.
Last month the marriage was reported to be on the rocks again after the furious Britney was left to pick up her 26-year-old husband's £10,000 drinks bill after he spent a weekend partying with pals in Las Vegas. But the pop babe insists that the smitten pair have put their problems behind them and got their relationship back on track.
She added: "We handled it fine, and now things are starting to go really smooth."
Meanwhile the sexy star has stripped off for a series of raunchy photos to accompany her revealing interview. The 'Toxic' singer has bared all for the magazine cover, wearing nothing but a carefully placed necklace -a romantic gift from her new husband.

Britney Spears just spent her first Christmas as Mrs. Kevin federline.
But who is the backup dancer the superstar plucked from obscurity to be her husband? Jim moret recently sat down with the young woman who was engaged to Kevin before he met Britney. And he found out some interesting information that Britney herself might like to hear.
When Britney Spears exchanged vows with Kevin federline, the world wanted to know more about this 26-year-old dancer who became Britney second husband in less than a year.
But this woman knows him well. She has some advice for the Pop Princess.
http://tinypic.com/28mueu
Do you think that Britney Spears is making a mistake?
No.
Kerry whittington Speaks from personal experience, because before Britney and before "moesha" star shar Jackson, with Whom Kevin fathered two children, Kerry spent 3 1/2 years as federline's first fiancee.
What is he like?
He's a nice person. He's a sweet person. He's a down-to-Earth Guy. And I can see why she'd fall in love with him.
Kerry Fell in love with Kevin federline shortly before he graduated from Gateway high school in Fresno with his G.E.D. He was always athletic, playing baseball and soccer as a Child. Kerry says she and Kevin had been together for only three months when he popped the big question.
http://tinypic.com/28muex
It was a surprise. He got down on one knee, asked me to marry him.
And you said?
And I said yes.
And unlike Britney buying her own engagement ring for a reported $40,000, Kevin bought Kerry her ring.
He was only 18 when he signed this installment contract with a Fresno jeweler for the one-third carat Diamond ring. Paying $995 over 10 months.
http://tinypic.com/28mufb
Kerry says she ended the relationship (when she) turned down Kevin's request to move to Los Angeles.
You said something interesting. You said you feel sorry for Kevin. Why?
Because I saw this picture, and they were on the Beach. And there's all these photographers in front of them. And they couldn't even see the Ocean. It was obstructing their whole view.
It's something Kevin federline May have to get used to. After all, to millions of fans around the world, he's now Mr. Britney Spears.
I don't think he'll ever be able to be just Kevin federline again. He'll always be the Guy that was married to Britney Spears.
Deborah: there have been some reports claiming Kevin was a lady's man before he settled down with Britney. Kerry says she doesn't believe he was ever unfaithful during their relationship. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | KEVIN'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET!
When Kevin Federline took his place at the craps table at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Miss., on Feb. 20, he made a lasting impression on his neighbor. She said Kevin, who was dripping with diamonds, stood over the table with $2,000 to $3,000 worth of chips, betting $200 to $250 at a time. But she wasn't impressed with the baubles, his high-roller status, or his dapper good looks! "He stinks," says the woman who stood next to him. "His body odor was really terrible. He smelled like he hadn't showered in a week!"
STINK BOMB?
The eyewitness noted that Kevin, 26, wasn't with Britney, 23, but it's unlikely the foulsmelling Federline would worry about his odor even if she were there. Star talked to one of his exes about Kevin's, um, scent. "I can totally understand why he smelled so bad at the casino," his ex-girlfriend, Amy Woody, 25, tells Star. "When he used to go to Vegas, he would gamble two days without sleeping, then he'd catch some sleep for a few hours and go straight back to the casino. He wouldn't shower or brush his teeth at all so he'd stink. He didn't care."
While Britney's rep terms the allegations that Kevin is stinky as "ridiculous," his ex Amy, who dated Federline in late 1999 in their hometown of Fresno, Calif., disagrees. "It wasn't only his armpits," she says, "his feet were awful too." Amy goes on to claim that Kevin never used deodorant. "I'm holding my nose just thinking about how bad he smelled," she says. And a friend of Kevin's ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, 28 -- mother of his two children, Kori, 2, and seven-monthold Kaleb -- seconds that noxious notion. "Kevin would often go several days without taking a shower or bath," says the friend. "It was gross."
STINKING AT 30,000 FEET
Another eyewitness who says he had the misfortune of sitting next to Federline on a 10- hour non-stop flight from Los Angeles to London tells Star that Kevin was indeed a pungent partier. "Kevin stripped down to a T-shirt on the plane," says the Federline flight mate. "Not only did he look like a bum, but he was smelling like one too."
And Kevin's not the only one who seems to occasionally have an odor problem. Britney was reportedly asked by a stewardess to put on her shoes back during one cross-country flight last December when a passenger complained about her stinky feet. Maybe they should charter their own plane next time.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Kevin's Birthday Blunder
Kevin missed his son’s first birthday party.
The former dancer failed to help baby Kaleb - whose mother is Kevin’s ex-girlfriend, Shar Jackson - celebrate his special day last Wednesday (20.07.05).
A spokeswoman for Shar, who also has a two-year-old daughter, Kori, with Kevin, told America’s New York Post newspaper: “Wednesday came and went without a visit, present or phone call from Kevin or Britney.”
Shar - who was recently linked to cult director Quentin Tarantino - was pregnant with Kaleb when Kevin left her for Britney.

| Posted by: schmiggens | | He's not going to be nominated for "Father of The Year" is he? 
I still wonder what Britney must think, we know she reads the tabloids, so even if they did honestly forget about the babies birthday, she'd have been reminded by now. Does it make her wonder what sort of father Kavin will be to her child? I hope she thinks about it, I hope she thinks about it long and hard ... | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Lynne having doubts about Kevin's parenting
Lynne Spears, Britney's southern momma, seems to be having doubts on whether or not Kevin would make a good father for her daughter's unborn child that is due in September.
Over the weekend Kevin forgot about his son Kaleb's birthday and has been reported to be behind on child support payments which worries Lynne because Britney could be the next person screwed over by Kevin and his caring attitude that will surely win him a "Father of the Year" award.
Lynne confronted Spears on the issue of Kevin's parenting on the set of "Zoey 101" and reports are Spears stormed out in a huff complaining about her father never being there but Kevin will be for their child. "**** you momma", Spears was overheard screaming out the window as she speed off the studio lot in her mustang leaving Lynne in tears and even more worried than she was before.
Yeah... Well remember that this is just a rumor. Another rumor...

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Spears' Man Escapes Child Custody Payments
Shar Jackson won't be approaching her ex, Britney Spears' husband, Kevin Federline, for child support because she just wants him to spend time with their kids.
Federline fathered two children with the former "Moesha" actress and left her for Spears while the actress was pregnant with their son, Kaleb.
Though still bitter toward her ex for the way he treated her when he started dating Spears, Jackson tells the magazine Sister To Sister she won't be fighting for Federline's cash.
She says, "I am a very, very independent woman. If I wanted child support that's an easy procedure. All I want from Kevin is his time with his children. That's it, bottom line."
Jackson insists she's attempting to remain friends with her ex, even though she'll never forgive him for dumping her while she was pregnant. She tells the publication, "How do you call yourself a human being knowing that you put somebody else through that pain?"

| Posted by: schmiggens | | Would Shar Jackson rather he had been unhappy wioth her and had stayed with her while she was pregant and then left after the baby was born, putting her in a false sense of security through the pregnancy only to be left (literally) holding the baby when she had it?
I'd rather a guy left when he didn't love me anymore, no matter if I was pregnant or not. When there's no point being with someone anymore, then there's no point. | | Reply To this Message
