Since her huge sell-out tour, the world has watched Britney get her life back on track, she’s in shape again and concentrating on her career, but now she’s facing a potential set back in the form of K-Fed’s new lady, Victoria Prince.

 A friend close to the singer revealed that Britney was distraught after seeing photos of Kevin and Victoria enjoying a relaxing holiday in California along with Britney and Federline’s two sons Sean Preston, three and Jayden. Victoria was pictured holding Jayden, who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder.

 Onlookers are rumoured to have said that if they didn’t know better they would have assumed that Victoria was his mother.

 Although the Toxic singer, 27, is said to have been left feeling slightly jealous, seeing her ex play happy families with their sons and a woman she doesn’t even know, Britney has vowed to deal with this like an adult, and is keen for there to be no tension between herself and Victoria, for the sake of the children.

 Sources have revealed that Britney stuck to her vows and invited Kevin and Victoria round for dinner at her house in a bid to clear the air and get to know the new woman in her boys’ lives.  An unnamed friend of the star said:

 “It was Britney’s idea to have the meal. She gave the housekeeper the night off, so it wasn’t a fancy meal—just frozen pizza and some leftovers.

“She thought it would be helpful to meet Victoria and get to know her a little.”

 Although the evening is said to have run smoothly, it did not pass by without Britney putting Victoria in check, by making it clear that she is the boys’ mum and no one could replace her in their affections.

A woman has been arrested for breaking into Britney Spears property in California yesterday morning (16th April).

Miranda Tozier-Robbins, 26, was found looking through the US singer’s home window, dressed in camouflage clothing, carrying a video camera and backpack.

Tozier-Robbins was found by Britney’s security guards and politely asked to leave the premises, but she reportedly “balked at their requests” and had to be physically removed from the property.

She was then taken to the local police station where she was booked on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct.

Her bail was set at $5,000, but she was later released on a citation and is due to appear in court on June 16th.

At the time of the incident, Britney was performing her Circus tour at the nearby Los Angeles Staples Centre.

Meanwhile, rumours of Britney dating her backing dancer, was rubbished by his mum yesterday.

Chase Benz’s mother Diane, said, “Chase has already got a girlfriend. Her name is Tessa Campbell and she is a fantastic girl. Chase comes back to Tennessee whenever he can to see her.

“They have been going out for three years-she is the same age and they are great together. She is so sweet.”

Rumours had spread that Britney and Chase, who is working as a dancer on her Circus tour, had been romancing each other for the past three weeks.

This is not the first time the 27-year-old ‘Womanizer’ star has fallen for one of her backing dancers.

In April 2004, Britney met ex-husband Kevin Federline when he worked with her. They married three months later and went onto have two children, Sean Preston, three and Jayden James, 2.

US pop singer, Britney Spears, plans to visit sick children in hospital when her tour comes to London in June this year.

The mum of two was so touched when visiting Miami Children’s Hospital earlier this month, she has decided to visit children at Britain’s Great Ormond Street hospital.

A source said, “She would really like to do this. In Miami she met up with 40 kids and posed for pictures with them.

“She found it really moving that just a couple of minutes with the children could mean so much to them.”

Her ‘Circus’ tour, which kicked off in New Orleans two weeks ago, will visit London’s 02 arena in just two months time. However, the 27-year-old star is already threatening to cancel her remaining shows after receiving death threats.

The ‘Womanizer’ star is said to be worried about the lives of her sons Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, aged two, who could be in danger following the menacing messages.

A source said, “Britney received some anonymous death threats over the phone and in the mail, and her worst fear is a kidnap plot against Sean or Jayden. She’s been having terrible nightmares ever since then and she wakes up in the middle of the night crying out for her boys.

“She told her head of security and he thinks it’s a lone stalker. Her paranoia has reached fever pitch and she’s wracked with fear.”

Top Five worst celebrity barnets

Celebrities are renowned for their hair styles and generally us celebrity wannabes try to copy their lovely, luscious locks…well we used to anyway.

Celebrity hair dos have just gone mental! Sleek, sexy hair has become a thing of the past, as celebrities try to be more daring and adventurous with their hair styles, outdoing each other on every occasion.

Gone are the days when we would walk into the hairdressers and simply ask for ‘The Rachel’ the effortlessly sleek style modelled by Jennifer Aniston during her reign in TV hit series, Friends.

Now, if we asked for ‘The Britney’ our stylists would think we had gone mental and ask us to leave the salon and take a trip to a councillor instead.

And these celebrities aren’t much better. Take a look at these ghastly heads and just be glad you only booked in for a ‘trim’ with your stylist.

1.     Amy Winehouse

We all know that the Back to Black singer is famous for her beehive hairdo, but this is just taking it a step too far!

Its mass probably weighs more than her actual body weight put together. And then its jet black colour against her pale complexion…not good!

2.     Britney Spears

The singer has had an album of hair dos since shaving it all off last year. The US singer has had the dodgiest of extensions and wigs, from blonde tacky strands, to dull and lifeless brunette hair. Although the star is getting back on track and realising a good barnet is actually pretty useful, it’s ever so easy to remember that fateful night she thought the middle-aged balding man look was pretty sexy!

3.     Sarah Harding

Now I think Sarah may have got slightly confused when her band members asked whether she was to do a star trek to Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief. Instead, the Girls Aloud singer decided to go for the Mr Spock look, hoping to steal the lime light from the other band members. Don’t worry Sarah, you’ve certainly done that!

4.     Edith Bowman

Scary! Why Edith decided to go for the Camilla Parker Bowles look is beyond understanding. The rock chick Radio One presenter’s granny look doesn’t do her many favours and most likely sent her singer boyfriend, from The Editors running for the hills. Go and do some knitting Edith!

5.     Lilly Allen

The lovable Lilly Allen became not so lovable when she died her hair pink. What was she thinking? Not only did it wash her out, it looks plastic, flat and did not make her look like a rock star. Stick to brunette Lilly, it’s just safer!

Celebrities are known for having the unfortunate car mishap every now and again, some more than others, whether its ditzy celebrity parking skills or more severe cases of drink/drug driving, there is never a dull moment in the world of celebrity driving… have a look at our top 15 celebrity car mishaps we have out together especially for ‘celebricious’ readers. 

Paris Hilton: the hotel heiress served 21 days in jail after being caught driving her Bentley through LA without any lights in February 2007 plus her licence was already suspended following an arrest for drink driving in September 2006

Lindsay Lohan: Was sued in October 2008 by three men who claimed that in July 2007 she commandeered their SUV in order to chase her recently-fired assistant. That incident ended with Lohan’s arrest by police; she served 84 minutes in prison after admitting drink driving and drugs charges.

Britney Spears: April and May 2008 saw two minor shunts in two months for the singer. No action was taken by the police in either case but she is facing charges of hit-and-run and driving without a valid licence after a car park fender bender in August 2007.

There has been much speculation for some time now as to whether Britney Spears will get to take her boys on her upcoming concert tour, but it has been confirmed that the boys are allowed to travel with her, but at a cost.

A document has been signed by both Britney’s father, Jamie Spears and her ex-hubby, K-Fed , but what’s in it for Kevin Federline? Money of course! The only way that Kevin will allow the boys to travel with Britney on tour. 

Britney will get to take her little boys with her on tour but of course it will cost her, and the question i know your all dying to be answered is, but how much? $5,000 a week!  So Federline is once again cashing in on his ex-wife.

Jayden James and Sean Preston will follow Britney to New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles. Britney will have to commute back and forth from each location during the tour, and she is also renting houses in New Jersey and New Orleans for Kevin if he wants to come along for the ride. Kevin Federline will receive the $5K whether he goes to visit or not!

This agreement has also caused other changes in the couples parenting agreements, Britney gets the kids 3 days and nights a week, which basically makes child custody 50/50 now. Finally is seems things are working out for Britney, her personal life and her career is slowly getting back on track, good for her!

Britney Spear’s former manager Sam Lutfi is reportedly suing Britney and her parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears. Sam Lufti is taking up a lawsuit on the terms of a breach of contract and defamation – according to documents held at Los Angeles courts. Sam Lutfi is also claiming libel, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

“Jamie and Lynne launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney’s life, this campaign also provided Jamie with the opportunity he needed to obtain an appointment as Britney’s conservator.” 

Additionally, the lawsuit alleges: “Despite seemingly accomplishing their objectives, Jamie and Lynne have nevertheless continued their smear campaign against Lutfi. Thus, having no other alternative, Lutfi brings this action to defend himself against Jamie’s and Lynne’s persistent attacks.”

Britney’s father has recently has had a restraining order put into place against Sam Lutfi, after he accused Lutfi of harassing the Spears family, Jamie Spears and his lawyer who are in charge of over-seeing the singers affairs as co-conservators, have placed allegations that Lufti is working alongside two other men to concert and disrupt with disregard for Britney’s health and well being. 

Sam Lufti is also accusing of Britney’s mum of damaging his reputation in her book, ‘Through the Storm’ in which she makes allegations about Lutfi’s control over her daughter.

Lutfi’s attorney, Bryan J. Freedman said in a statement Tuesday that there is “overwhelming evidence from independent witnesses” proving his client’s case and that “at the time of the trial in this action, the jury will have an opportunity to weigh the credibility of the witnesses.”

Britney’s sons Sean Preston and Jayden James will be going on tour with their mummy! Britney had previously said that she would cancel her shows if she couldn’t take her sons with her, so now they will be going on her upcoming tour Circus. Everyone has heard of take your children to work days before, but taking two young children away on a tour for twelve months is a bit much, do you think? 

“Britney is so excited to kick off her tour and she has been enjoying every moment of rehearsals and is looking forward to performing in front of a live audience again. Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour.” A quote taken from her website dedicated to relaying important information about Britney to her adoring fans! 

This is good news for Britney, but you have to wonder what life on the road will be like for Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, and is their father Kevin Federline happy the decision and his sons being taken away from him for twelve months…

The last news was that these two were working things out and trying to be nice for their boys?  Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline were together recently for a family barbecue and things seemed friendly, but Kevin’s new romance with Victoria Prince is causing Britney quite a bit of grief and she let Kevin know – and not in a quiet manner!

Kevin arrived at the Spear’s home to pick up his sons – Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2 – and ended up staying for a family barbecue until after 5 p.m. and he and Britney were getting along famously but things went downhill the next day.

Britney’s not happy about Kevin’s relationship with volleyball star Victoria and the fact that she’s spending time with the boys, and the ex-couple reportedly had a not-so-pleasant phone conversation, that turned into a total hysterical screaming match. Britney apparently called Kev’s new lady love a “See-you-next-Tuesday.” And during the conversation Britney told Kevin that she doesn’t want his new lady anywhere near their children. 

Kevin, who has full custody of their boys, said, “You really don’t have much to say about that.”

Britney, who has been known in the past to not deal with things very well, decided to calm down with yoga. Unlike in other emotional episodes in the past, Britney didn’t go take a pill or a drink, but went downstairs and did some yoga to calm down. I think that’s a good sign she’s growing up and dealing with Kevin. 

So, Kevin has a new girlfriend, and she shouldn’t try to play a ‘mum’ role at this point in their new relationship, but Britney has to face facts – her boys may have a step-mum at some point and it is in their best interest if their step-mum cares about them. Britney will probably marry again and the boys will have a step-dad and Kevin will have to be mature about that.

2009 is going to be another exciting year for our celebrity friends, and there are many very talented potential stars waiting in the wings, I would say Lady Gaga is the name to look out for. America’s been looking for an answer to our quirky pop females (Lily Allen, Kate Nash etc…) for a while and they may well have found one in the shape of this 22-year-old New Yorker. Not only does she look and sound different but the likes of Britney Spears and Pussycat Dolls have already expressed a interest in collaboration with the artist, she also went to the same school as Paris Hilton, which surely can’t hurt.

As mentioned in the intro to this article, Lady Gaga has the potential to be massive in 2009. Born Joanne Stefani Germanotta, she combines the street savvy of young Madonna with a far greater innate musical talent, along with a unique sense of style and a mixture of music genre’s. One to watch indeed.

Britain has been blessed with a steady stream of innovative female artists over the years and Little Boots (aka Victoria Hesketh) is as interesting as any of them. If you look on YouTube, you’ll find a clip of her in her small, cluttered bedroom, surrounded by shelves of CDs and knick-knacks. Dressed in denim shorts and a sleeveless T-shirt, her dyed blond hair scrunched back from her face, she is hemmed in by two keyboards, a computer screen and a Stylophone, one of those tiny toy music machines that Rolf Harris once advertised on TV at Christmas.

The unique talents of VV Brown are refreshingly honest words of her official biography, her music is “dramatic, charismatic and, frequently, as mad as a box of frogs.” But perhaps the best description comes from the lady herself – she calls it “doowop soul”.

Given that he’s already had an album out, Bryn Christopher isn’t strictly speaking a newcomer his sublime soul voice will reach more people in the coming year. Think David McAlmont crossed with Otis Redding.

Irish soul-pop singer Laura Izibor has already performed with Al Green, been asked to support Aretha Franklin, and had a track featured on Grey’s Anatomy – all before she’s released a note of music. She must be doing something right.
