Sean Preston and Jayden James will one day be Googling their mother, Britney Spears, and see that on January 14th, 2008, their mom didn’t value them enough to show up at a vital custody hearing about their custodial fate.

Their father Kevin Federline was at the courthouse on time and looking very upbeat.

Shortly after 9 a.m. (the hearing was scheduled to begin at 9:30), Federline appeared, wearing a blue pinstripe suit and looking confident and upbeat.

As the hearing time passed, Spears, 26, remained at home. A source said she had “no plans” to attend the session. Another source said she had been “strongly advised” by her legal team to attend the hearing, adding that the singer was told that “her attendance is important.”

Britney needs to be committed for some serious mental help.  She is pissing away the most important things in life and for what?  Her pap friend/lover/screw buddy obviously isn’t getting through to her outside of the bedroom.

I feel bad for Sean and Jayden.  Thankfully their daddy is stepping up and wanting to raise and take care of them.

L.A. Country Commissioner Scott Gordon has given full legal and physical custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James to Kevin Federline, in the wake of Britney Spears psychotic escapade, on Thursday night, at her home,  in Beverly Hills.

The Commish in the Brit case just issued his order and we got it first. — K-Fed gets sole legal and physical custody. Brit gets nothing.

Everyone should pray for Sean and JJ because this is going to always be with them even when they grow until young adults.

The attorney for Kevin Federline is asking custody judge/commissioner Scott Gordon for full custody of K-Fed’s children while Britney Spears is in a 5150 hospital lockdown.

TMZ has learned K-Fed’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will scurry to court this morning at 8:30 AM and ask the Commissioner to strip Brit of her visitation rights — at least for now. We’re told there may not be much of an argument and it’s almost certain the Commish will see Kaplan’s point.

Attorney Tara Scott from the law firm of Trope and Trope will represent Brit — awkward, since the firm has asked to withdraw as counsel.

As we reported, Britney is at Cedars-Sinai on a “5150 hold,” meaning there’s evidence she’s a danger to herself or others — others as in her kids.

This is a n o brainer for the commish.  K-Fed should be granted full and complete custody until experts (legal and medical) decide Britney Spears is sane enough to spent time with her children.

Britney Spears youngest son Jayden James was also taken to a hospital last night.  No word on why J.J. was sent by ambulance to the hospital as well.

Two ambulances left Britney’s house, both headed for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center — one transporting Britney, the other had two-year-old Jayden James in it!

Cops, firemen, and paramedics were sent to Spears home for a nearly three hour standoff before Britney agreed to give her children back to her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The Britney Spears circus took a sad turn Thursday night as police, firefighters and ambulances were called to Britney’s Beverly Hills home after she refused to give her children back to ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Another ambulance, more fire trucks and several additional police cars have just rolled up to Britney’s house. One person on the ground described the situation to us as “scary.”

We’ve learned Spears has refused to turn her two sons back over to their daddy tonight, as ordered by the court. LAPD tells us they’ve been called to the home to deal with the family custody dispute.

Spears, heavily under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, finally gave the kids back over to K-Fed.

TMZ has learned Sean Preston and Jayden James were turned back over K-Fed tonight just before 11:00 PM PT.

More to Come…..

Kevin Federline has won another round against ex-wife Britney Spears.  Spears can no longer drive with her two boys in the car after blowing a red light two weeks ago with the kids in the backseat.

The move was made after a court hearing today, during which Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Fed’s lawyer, officially informed the judge that Brit blew a red light with her kiddies in the car last week.

Give the girl a bit of rope.  Almost all of us would have part of our parental rights suspended if every move was micro-viewed by the public and legal system.

Alleging the singer lives in a “parallel universe,” lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan reminded the court that the singer had been reprimanded three times by Commissioner Scott Gordon for failing to be reachable by phone.

“Mr. Federline doesn’t want to take these children out of their mother’s life, but what are we to do?” Kaplan said.

Spears’s lawyer, Anne Kiley, called the current drug testing procedure “unconstitutional,” adding that just because the singer may fail to respond to testing calls doesn’t mean she’s using drugs. Kiley also pointed out that Spears has passed multiple tests successfully.

Britney’s attorney continues to show that she is squarely outmatched by Federline’s barrister.

Court documents newly released show that Kevin Federline receives $15,000 a month from Britney Spears in child support payments for their two children Jayden James and Sean Preston.  The amount could rise if/when Federline is awarded additional custody of the boys.  The $15,000 figure is based on their original 50/50 split custody agreement.

Federline receives $15,000 a month in child support payments from his ex. (The amount may change, depending on how much more custodial time he ends up getting.) He is entitled to child support payments until Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, become adults, since Spears is the higher earner.

Here is a detailed comparison of some of the ex-couples average monthly expenses in 2006.

Britney’s Expenses:
• $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation
• $49,267 on mortgage payments
• $16,000 on clothes
• $4,758 on eating out
• $2,500 on phone bills

Kevin’s Expenses:
• $5,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation
• $7,500 on rent
• $2,000 on clothes
• $1,500 on eating out
• $750 on phone bills

Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline are scheduled to appear in court together later this afternoon. Spears testimony will not be video taped for fear it would be leaked and cause more embarrassment to the pop singer.

“Britney being deposed is a routine part of a custody battle,” L.A. family law attorney Joel Schwartz, who is not involved in the case, tells PEOPLE. “Kaplan will be asking her, and anyone else he’s subpoenaed, about her past drug and alcohol use, her apparent inability to follow court orders, and anything else that reveals whether she’s a fit mother.”

It is probably the correct decision to not videotape the deposition. Britney’s answers to being grilled by Federline’s attorneys should still be quite interesting.

Britney Spears has been awarded one overnight visit a week with her two young boys by the L.A. Court Commissioner.  Kevin Federline currently has full custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.

L.A. County Court Commissioner Scott Gordon partially accepted her lawyer’s plea to give Spears monitored overnight visitation. Spears, who was in court, was sworn in as the afternoon hearing began. She testified, but we don’t know what she said.

Spears left the courtroom visibly upset. The overnight visits will be monitored. The parties have not reached an agreement on choosing a different monitor than the one who is already in place.

One night a week to have a slumber party with your kids. This is going to highly cut into Brit’s clubbing schedule unless she is taking SP and JJ to Hyde and Winstons with her.

Britney Spears skipped the opportunity to spend time with her children this week.  She checked into the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Wednesday night before the court scheduled visit on Thursday with her kids.  Kevin Federline’s attorney through a fit, since the parenting counselor was to mentor Britney in her own home on how to be a better mother.

We’re told Spears was to have a scheduled visit with her kids at 10:00 AM Thursday, surrendering the kids to K-Fed later that day. Sources say on Wednesday night, Britney decided she wouldn’t see her children at either of her homes — instead, she wanted to visit with her kids at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. We’re told K-Fed’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, went ballistic.

However, when the kids arrived with their bodyguard on Thursday at Spears Malibu home, Britney didn’t open the door as the kids waited in the car for over forty minutes, as the bodyguard rang the doorbell.

At 10:00 AM Thursday, the scheduled time for visitation, a K-Fed bodyguard arrived at Brit’s Malibu home and rang the buzzer. He waited forty minutes — but no one came out. With the kids inside the car, we’re told the plug was finally pulled and they all went back to K-Fed’s.

Everyday Britney is a day closer to being legally committed into an insane asylum for professional help.

Britney Spears still has no custody of her two boys, but the embattled pop star can now visit them according to the latest ruling from the judge presiding over the case.  The visits must be monitored.

Kevin Federline will retain custody of his children and Britney will get monitored visitation — this after a court hearing lasting nearly three hours.

One small step for man, one giant leap for Britney Spears.   I wish I felt this story had a happy ending.

Troubled Britney Spears has lost custody of her kids to ex-husband Kevin Federline.  The news comes as a massive blow to Britney in a year that everything has gone wrong for her.

L.A. County Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon issued an order today stating that Kevin Federline, the boys’ father, “is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 12:00 PM until further order of the court.”

Look for Britney to find rehab somewhere, likely Utah for 30 days, then get partial custody back in a future judicial hearing.  The judge probably wants Spears to come before the court and defend her behavior and actions.

Rumors yesterday circulated of Spears moving to Cuba in a desperate move to keep her kids and avoid exradition.

Britney Spears former bodyguard, Tony Barreto, was the ’secret witness’ in her custody case with ex Kevin Federline.  He is now making the talk show rounds telling of the two times he saw Britney doing drugs.

“They were both in a nightclub in Los Angeles,” bodyguard Tony Barretto, who protected Spears, 25, for two months before being fired, said on Monday’s Today show. “The incident happened at her table. She had me hold up a curtain, to make her area private.”

“The other occasion was when we escorted her to a private restroom upstairs which we secured for her. She was in there for some time alone … I thought it would be appropriate to check on her. … I observed this behavior.”

It doesn’t take a secret witness to tell a judge or the world Brit-Brit uses or has been on drugs.  I think anyone who has witnessed her behavior in the past year could have testified at the custody hearing.

Britney Spears continues to try to piss away custody of her kids to Kevin Federline.  You would think a blind monkey would have a better chance keeping Sean Preston and Jayden James over K-Fed, but Britney is showing us that we should never underestimate blind monkeys.

Barely 24 hours after being called a “habitual” drug and alcohol user by the judge overseeing her custody battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline, the mother of two hit L.A. hot spots Winston’s and Hyde.

Britney is continuing to act as if she is the oh-so famous celebrity that is above the law and the legal proceedings being taken against her are not that serious.  Perhaps though she is that bad of a mom and doesn’t care two pesos about her innocent children.  The saddest part of course is that one day those two boys will be able to read and use google to find out all they want to know about their mom and her reported love for them.

Judge Scott Gordon has labeled Britney Spears as a druggie and has ordered twice weekly/random drug tests for the former pop tart.

The judge in the Britney Spears custody battle found that “there is a habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by (Britney).” The judge has ordered Britney “to undergo testing for the use of controlled substances and alcohol.” Testing will be conducted randomly twice a week.

The judge went on to rule that Spears or ex-husband Kevin Federline were to avoid alcohol and non-prescription drugs during and the twelve hours before having custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The judge went on, “Neither party shall consume alcohol, or other non-prescription controlled substance during or for the 12 hours immediately preceding any period such party is responsible for the health and safety of the minor children.”

It should only get more interesting with two drug tests a week for Spears.  Federline must have better lawyers than Spears.  It is amazing that the same drug test order wasn’t placed on K-Fed.  He must have had some really good evidence about Brit’s drug while keeping the children.

Kevin Federline might be a laughingstock to some but he will never be poor in anyone’s eyes.  The rapper/sperm donor/ex-husband of Britney Spears is set to get $20,000 a month for life from Brit.

According to papers obtained by “The Insider” filed in Los Angeles Superior Court today, Federline will continue to receive $20,000 a month from Britney — “until death of either party, remarriage of [Federline] or further order of the Court, whichever first occurs.”

$20,000 a month for life? $240,000 per year for getting dumped by the manic Spears? Wow!

Attorneys for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline met Monday in dependency court to star the process to determine if Spears or K-Fed are capable or fit to take care of their two young boys, Sean and Jayden.

If the county feels the kids are at risk, they will begin an investigation. If they find either or both parents aren’t capable or unwilling to parent the children, the county will file a petition in juvenile court, Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Steve Cron told “Access.”

If that happens, Britney and Kevin would be allowed a “full blown” hearing where they can bring witnesses and experts to testify on their behalf. The judge would then decide if the county needs to step in, possibly taking over custody over the kids, according to Cron.

Just yesterday Britney was cleared of animal abuse in regard to broken leg to her Yorkie puppy.

It was announced earlier this week that Kevin Federline would be guest staring on the CW show One Tree Hill. Today we have learned that Feder will be playing the role of a cocky rock singer on the show in a role that will span across a handful of episodes.

The aspiring rapper will portray a cocky rock singer, said a publicist for the show.

Even in Hollywood it is too far of a stretch to cast K-Fed as a rapper.

Shar Jackson, mother of Kevin Federline’s first two children, says that K-Fed is actually a “great dad”.

“Kevin is a great dad!” according to Jackson.

I am so eager for Kevin to knock up another B-list actress that it is starting to worry me a bit.
