Could Brit's latest stint in the hospital mean she is on the road to recovery? Her track record certainly suggests the pop tartlet probably isn't done with the cigs, too-shirt dresses, English accent and bizzaro behavior. From her erratic driving to her seemingly reckless parenting and partying, the world has watched a former pop princess spiral out of control.http://www.newser.com/2008 - Newseren-usNewser Feed GeneratorWed, 03 Dec 2008 23:00:13 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/44298/kfed-divorce-blindsided-me.html?refid=rss_all_defaultKevin Federline was "blindsided" when Britney Spears went "behind my back" and filed for divorce in 2006, the onetime backup dancer tells People . But since then, Federline says he's been focusing on one thing: being a good dad to the couple's two sons. "My kids are always most important," he says. Federline, who had full custody, says he's glad to share Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, with Spears again.http://www.newser.com/story/44298/kfed-divorce-blindsided-me.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 03 Dec 2008 11:24:40 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/43991/brits-back-big-time.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWhile Britney Spears' life has resembled something of a sideshow over the past couple of years, her newest release is a welcome return to her musical roots, writes Jim Farber in the New York Daily News . And for Glenn Gamboa, writing in Newsday, Circu s can't just be called a comeback: "Not only is "Circus" (Jive) the best album of her career, but it could return her to the kind of massive, multiplatinum sales that she hadn't seen since the turn of the century."http://www.newser.com/story/43991/brits-back-big-time.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 30 Nov 2008 10:21:24 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/43863/lynne-brit-a-very-normal-mom.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAs Britney Spears turns her chaotic life around, mom Lynne says she’s doing great and is “a wonderful mother,” People reports. The Spears matriarch recently spoke to GMTV to promote her memoir, and the pop star predictably came up in conversation. Lynne discussed Brit’s breakdown and recovery, and insisted that “in the home, where there's nobody around, she's very normal” as a mother.http://www.newser.com/story/43863/lynne-brit-a-very-normal-mom.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 28 Nov 2008 7:05:33 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/43613/britney-i-feel-like-an-old-person-now.html?refid=rss_all_defaultBritney Spears is picking up the pieces in her new—and incredibly micromanaged—life, USA Today reports. In an interview that hits stands Friday, the pop star tells Rolling Stone magazine, “I feel like an old person now. I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night. I don't go out or anything.” But when she does, she's carefully guarded: The singer’s dates are chaperoned by an assistant and her manager’s colleague, and she is never left alone during interviews.http://www.newser.com/story/43613/britney-i-feel-like-an-old-person-now.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 25 Nov 2008 7:12:08 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/43243/britney-regrets-her-embrace-of-fame.html?refid=rss_all_defaultBritney Spears bares all in a documentary set to air Nov. 30 on MTV, Entertainment Weekly reports.

In a new documentary airing on MTV on November 30, Spears says her life is “too in control.” The singer, whose dad was granted post-meltdown control of her affairs, believes she’s still paying for antics such as shaving her head. “I think I've learned my lesson now and enough is enough,” she said.http://www.newser.com/story/42986/brit-my-life-is-worse-than-jail.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 18 Nov 2008 5:06:27 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/42644/brit-releases-songs-early.html?refid=rss_all_defaultEager fans needn’t wait until December 2—Britney Spears’ new club-friendly album can now be previewed online, MTV reports.

Access Hollywood reports that the onetime lovebirds will reunite—onstage—at Madonna’s performance tonight in Los Angeles. “They’re going to be on stage, performing at some point with Madonna,” Ryan Seacrest confirms. Both have a presence on the tour already: Timberlake in Madonna’s “4 Minutes” single and Spears in a video segment.http://www.newser.com/story/41884/brit-jt-to-reunite-at-madonna-show.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 06 Nov 2008 10:01:34 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/40271/jury-stuck-on-britneys-state.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe jury in Britney Spear's traffic trial couldn't reach a verdict yesterday and has retired for the weekend to ponder whether the LA resident counts as a California girl, the Los Angeles Times reports. Spears' lawyer argues the singer, charged with driving without a valid California license, doesn't need one as her true home is Louisiana and she plans to move back there when her custody battle is concluded.http://www.newser.com/story/40271/jury-stuck-on-britneys-state.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 18 Oct 2008 0:10:57 CDT
