Posted 03 October 2007 - 05:34 AM
This is my first post here and thought I'll post some 'good' things i came across with regards to Britney since we've been having bad news after bad news. I'm not the biggest Britney fan but i do think she is an entertainer. Her personal life has nothing to do with the fact that she was a pretty good Entertainer previously. She just needs a bit of work now but hopefully she'll come back. It's Hollywood we're talking about here. Anything can happen.
Starting off some Wallpapers on her "Believe" fragrance website. Not sure if these were posted but i remember a very unclear pic was posted so here's some HQ stuff. PLEASE refrain from bringing up the whole 'this is PSed' thing. It's been discussed so let it pass. PSed or not, it's a nice pic so let it be.

Some Positive News
QUOTE
Britney Spears is "very optimistic" that she'll get her sons back as she completes the judge's checklist, the singer's close friend Sam Lufti tells PEOPLE.
Lufti, whom Kevin Federline's camp attempted to subpoena in the ongoing custody battle, reminded PEOPLE in an e-mail that Federline getting custody is "temporary."
"We ... signed all the necessary documents that she needed to get done," he said. Spears, he added, is "in a good mood, no problems, very optimistic."
Monday a judge granted Federline physical custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, "until further order of the court." Lufti told PEOPLE that what led to the ruling was just a misunderstanding.
"Scheduling conflicts and errors in communication led her to believe that her deadline was later this week rather than [Monday]," Lufti said. "However, once we finally realized what was going on, we completed the list of tasks. ...So everything's looking good."
At least one of the judge's requirements, however, remains unfulfilled.
Spears, facing a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license, went to the Department of Motor Vehicles on Monday to get a California license to replace her Louisiana card, but DMV spokesperson Jan Mendoza says Spears hasn't yet finished the application process.
"As of now, she's not legally able to drive in California," says Mendoza.
"Britney Spears is still unlicensed," Mendoza adds. "She does have a pending application. She's very close to getting a California license."
Another hearing in the custody case is set for Wednesday.

Britney Gets a California Driver's License
TUESDAY OCTOBER 02, 2007 08:00 PM EDT
By Ken Lee
Britney Spears was issued an interim license Tuesday from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, an agency spokesman says.
"She has fulfilled her requirements for a California driver's license," said the DMV's Mike Marando.
L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who's overseeing her custody case, had ordered her to show proof that she was a legal driver. Her lawyer told PEOPLE that among the reasons she lost temporary custody was because she lacked a valid license.
On Monday, Spears, 25, handed off sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, to a bodyguard for ex Kevin Federline, then drove with a friend to a DMV office in Van Nuys, Calif.
"Ms. Spears actually took and passed a written test in April," Marando says. "She was fingerprinted and photographed yesterday. She will be issued a formal license in the mail soon."

Rumours Cleared Up
QUOTE
"Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me"
Rumors like these don't even shock me anymore. This is just a ploy from hit hungry celebrity gossip blogs & magazines to try and attract more visitors to their malicious sites.
Expect to have a lot of crazy my happy poopoo lies spread around when things seem to not be going so good for Britney. Below are a few rumors cleared up by x17online.com:
Did Britney send either her friend or her assistant to pick up drugs last night?
Of course not - her friend Sam merely stopped by another friend's house to pick up some clothes before heading back to Britney's.
Has Britney already started submitting to her court-mandated drug tests?
Not just yet - our inside source says she hasn't started them.
Have photographers seen Britney doing drugs?
Good lord, no - after all, if photographers spotted Britney doing drugs, wouldn't we have seen some, y'know, photos by now? (Occam's Razor, y'all!)
Were any photographers arrested last night outside the Peninsula Hotel where Britney was staying?
Absolutely not - there's simply no truth to that rumor whatsoever.
Does Britney have a sex tape like In Touch Weekly claims?
No!
Does Britney have a valid drivers license?
People.com is reporting that yes, she did get a valid license: "'She has fulfilled her requirements for a California driver's license," said the DMV's Mike Marando.' Ms. Spears actually took and passed a written test in April," Marando says. "She was fingerprinted and photographed yesterday. She will be issued a formal license in the mail soon. According to the DMV, Spears had never been issued a California license, despite having homes in Los Angeles for years. The state requires people to apply for a license within 10 days of residence."
And my personal favorite: Does Britney think Chris Crocker is a freak?
Yes, according to Us Weekly: "Britney does not think Chris Crocker is funny," a Spears pal tells Us. "She thinks he's creepy and that all his videos are an obvious attempt at fame. She finds it insulting and difficult to watch."
"Why can't they just let me live?"

Britney Supporters
Rihanna: "Stop Criticizing Britney Over Her VMA Performance"
R&B star RIHANNA has urged the media to stop criticising BRITNEY SPEARS' MTV Video Music Awards performance.
The Umbrella star believes Spears' disastrous stageshow at the Las Vegas ceremony earlier this month (Sep07) was the result of her not having performed much recently coupled with the stress of her ongoing child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Rihanna says, "You can't judge her performance without knowing what was going on with her personally. She had so much pressure for that one performance. I'm telling you, it's not easy being on that stage. I performed for a minute and a half, and I was extremely nervous.
"To have the amount of pressure that Britney had? I don't know what I would've done. She did her best, so leave her alone."

Robbie Williams On Paparazzi Outside Britney's Home
In the interview with Observer Sport Monthly, Robbie also admitted his sensitive nature means he takes life very seriously.
He said: "I go past Britney Spears's house every day on the way to my hike and there's 30 cars outside, and I just want to get out and kill them.
"You know, for some it's like water off a duck's back but for me it's an injustice. It's just how I'm built.
"I'm not saying I'm topped up with the world's biggest heap of integrity myself, but I have a basic sense of what's right and wrong, and how you should treat people."

Simon Cowell Defends Britney
Britney Spears has one unlikely ally in her comeback struggle: Simon Cowell. Mr. Nasty is telling "Extra" that he actually likes the troubled pop star, and that she might be making all the right moves!
"She's all over the news, she gets more publicity that the entire Hot 100 combined, so maybe she's doing everything right and everyone else is getting it wrong," he confessed to "Extra."
The "American Idol" judge also says folks should cut Britney some slack for what the pop star goes through.

Joey Fatone To Britney: 'I'm Here for You, Sweetheart'
Joey Fatone is offering Britney Spears a getaway from her life in the spotlight.
"Britney, call me, come over to my house, come to Orlando, get away from it all," Fatone, tells Extra. "It's a good thing to get out of L.A."
Last weekend, the embattled pop star spent time in Atlanta after being charged with hit-and-run in Los Angeles.
Spears is working on a career comeback with a new album due out in November. But she's suffered a series of setbacks, including scathing reviews of her performance at the Video Music Awards and a very public battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over custody of their two sons.
"I think she just needs some time, some time to really heal," says Fatone, who has known Spears for many years. The current Singing Bee host was also a member of N' Sync with Spears's former flame, Justin Timberlake.
Fatone tells Extra that he hasn't seen Spears in some time, but has a message for his old friend: "If you're there, let me know. I'm here for you, sweetheart."

Posh Spice, Elton John & Others want to Help Britney Spears
Submitted by Scott Goldberg on September 28, 2007 - 7:12am.
Victoria How do you stay relevant in Hollywood on September 28, 2007? By offering an invitation to Britney Spears for the pop star to shack up at your joint. Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham and her husband, soccer star David, along with Elton John and even former N’Sync boy-bander Joey Fatone have offered safe havens to Spears. Posh’s sudden fondness for Britney arrives on the heels of an apparent altercation at the Los Angeles Chateau Marmont’s restaurant, in which Spears “snubbed” Posh – whatever that means – and now Vic Beckham says the girl just needs “a real friend.” When you think of real friends, you think of Posh Spice, don’t you?
Meanwhile Britney’s new song Gimme More has jumped to the top spot on the iTunes charts, and is the #1 selling ringtone as well.
Elton John also can’t wait to lend a hand. He wants to take Spears to “a secret hideaway” to escape the media glare, something supposedly very difficult to do. Here’s a way for Britney to that on her own: Stop hanging out in Hollywood. But John is also right: He could teach a class on how to remove oneself from the media spotlight.
And Joey Fatone feels even sorrier for Spears than he does for himself: "Poor girl,” he said, “she needs some help. Come over to my house and my wife will whip her into shape. Come back to Orlando and take a break for awhile, from LA and stuff." Yep, a stay at the Fatone's is just the ticket: Joey begging for a verse in a Britney song while wifey makes one fat joke after the next. A trip to Orlando is just what Spears needs.
Imdb.com reports that Fatone thinks the VMA performance was not a smart career move. I’d have to say the folks at Jive Records, watching the cash roll in for Gimme More and the certain success her November 13th album will have, might disagree with that notion.

JIVE PLEDGES SUPPORT TO TROUBLED SPEARS
BRITNEY SPEARS' record label Jive is standing by the troubled star and has pledged its support to the singer following the immense publicity surrounding her recent personal problems. The 25-year-old lost physical custody of her two sons to her ex-husband Kevin Federline on Monday (01Oct07), amid claims of Spears' bad parenting. But the Toxic hitmaker's label has vowed to give the star as much support as she needs during her family crisis, accusing the media of exacerbating her troubles by putting them under the spotlight. Label spokesman Allan Mayer tells MTV.com, "It's not Jive's place to fashion a public relations campaign with respect to Britney's personal issues, but Jive does care about her and does support her. "We're not pointing fingers - because the media and the paparazzi wouldn't exist if there weren't an appetite for it. But there's no question that when you have someone at this level of celebrity, they become like cartoons or soap-opera characters, and we forget that they're human beings. "People say that's the trade you make, that you have to give up your privacy or the ability to lead a normal life, but sometimes you make that bargain before you realise what it entails and it's too late. "Britney's a grown woman, and she makes her own choices, and we respect that. But she's been at a disadvantage (without a consistent team), and obviously that makes it harder to cope."

Tatum O'Neal: Britney Needs Help Fighting Addiction
By Shelley Akers

Tatum O'Neal, who's led her own troubled path on the road of motherhood, says that Britney Spears must get treatment and shield her children from media attention.
She "needs to be in recovery and get her disease of addiction together," said O'Neal, 43, who can empathize with the 25-year-old pop star.
"I relate to her and feel really sad for her," O'Neal told Entertainment Tonight in a interview to air Thursday.
"I did everything that she doesn't want to do," said the Oscar-winning actress (for 1973's Paper Moon, which costarred her father, Ryan O'Neal). "I did the drug testing ... It was very humbling, but I wanted those kids back."
In 1986, O'Neal wed tennis superstar John McEnroe, and the couple had three children: Kevin, Sean, and Emily. The couple divorced in 1992 and remain openly hostile toward one another. When O'Neal became a heroin addict in 1995, McEnroe took custody of their kids, something he has retained ever since.
"Not being able to see my kids is like part of me is missing," a recovering O'Neal told PEOPLE in 2002. "Part of my soul is missing."
Monday, Spears, 25, temporarily lost custody of her two sons – Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 – because she was accused of not taking a random drug and alcohol test and she couldn't provide a California driver's license. She regained visitation rights Wednesday after another closed-door hearing in the on-going battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
"Hopefully she will figure [it] out," O'Neal told ET. "But it's going to be hard and she will do it publicly and that sucks."
