FEDERLINE’S ATTORNEY THANKS BODYGUARD FOR COMING FORWARD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:26 pm

KEVIN FEDERLINE’s attorney has praised BRITNEY SPEARS’ former bodyguard for coming forward with his concerns about the pop star’s mothering skills because he helped win the rapper physical custody of his two kids.
Troubled Spears has been ordered to hand over her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James to her ex-husband on Wednesday (03Oct07) after reportedly ignoring a string of court-imposed demands and skipping mandatory drug tests.
And Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, who requested an emergency hearing to address Spears’ ongoing problems on Monday (01Oct07), insists ’secret witness’ Tony Barretto, who was fired as Spears’ bodyguard in May (07), was a big help.
Barretto wasn’t required to testify against his former boss but went public with claims of drug abuse and nudity around her kids.
Kaplan insists his comments helped, and has thanked attorney Gloria Allred for bringing the bodyguard forward.
He says, "I appreciate Gloria facilitating her client coming forward when he did. Today’s proceedings did not involve his testimony. He may be called as a witness in the future." Meanwhile, Allred is celebrating Federline and Kaplan’s win, stating, "removing custody from Ms Spears is the shock treatment that Britney Spears needs.
"My client… believes that she loves her children and that the children also need their mother.
"We hope that this change of custody will give her the strong incentive that she needs to get help so that she can one day be the responsible parent the children deserve to have."

SPEARS CAUGHT UP IN NEW SEX TAPE SCANDAL?

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:20 pm

Things are going from bad to worse for BRITNEY SPEARS - she’s now caught up in a new sex tape scandal.
A day after losing physical custody of her kids to ex-husband Kevin Federline, an unnamed 28-year-old man has come forward with sex tales.
The mystery guy claims to have bedded Spears while she was vacationing on Hawaii in June (07) - and he caught the sexploits on camera.
And Spears’ one-night-stand lover insists the only thing that has been stopping him from going public with the sex tape is the fact he wasn’t happy with his own performance which he caught on camera.
He tells America’s In Touch Weekly magazine, "It was just normal sex, we didn’t do anything crazy. It was a little disappointing. It lasted for about 25 minutes and then we passed out." The 28-year-old reveals he was living on Hawaii’s Big Island when he met Spears at a bar on 7 June (07).
They retired to her room at the Four Seasons hotel on the KonaKohala Coast and made love. The mystery lover admits Spears had no knowledge he was filming their sex session.

LOVE: ‘COBAIN LOATHED GROHL’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:11 pm

COURTNEY LOVE has slammed FOO FIGHTERS frontman DAVE GROHL again, insisting her late husband KURT COBAIN "loathed" his NIRVANA bandmate.
Love and Grohl have been locked in a fierce feud over copyright for years; this manifested itself during a long-running legal dispute between Love, Grohl and Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic over the band’s box set With The Lights Out.
They settled their legal issues in 2002 and the package was released in 2004.
But Love isn’t planning to make a friend of Grohl anytime soon, and she’s raging after her nemesis recently stated the new Foo Fighters single Let It Die is about Cobain and Love’s tempestuous relationship.
In a post on her MySpace.com page, Love writes, "As for that drummer, well he’s hit on me so many times. He’s just a very, very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he ‘hates’ me more than ‘anyone else’.
"Kurt loathed him more than anyone else (except a journalist). In his will he made a codicil that Grohl was no longer a member of Nirvana. I just ignored the guy and will continue to.
"Dave knows this, and he takes it out on me! Hey, it wasn’t my band and it wasn’t my idea! It’s funny he ‘hates’ me since I don’t think about him.
"He’s just a sub-mediocre kind of (guy) who does this ‘nice guy’ nonsense.
There isn’t a word he could he say that would ruffle my feathers, honestly." Grohl recently said, "There are a lot of people that I’ve been angry with in my life, but the one that’s most noted is Courtney. So it’s pretty obvious to me that those correlations are gonna pop up every now and again." Cobain shot himself dead in 1994.

EX-BODYGUARD PRAISES SPEARS DECISION

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:32 pm

LATEST: BRITNEY SPEARS’ former bodyguard has praised a judge’s decision to hand over custody of her two sons to their father KEVIN FEDERLINE.
Federline was awarded ‘physical custody’ of Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, in a closed-court hearing on Monday (1Oct07).
Barretto, who recently testified against the singer during her custody battle with Federline, claims the news "saddens" him, but he’s confident it’s the best decision for the children.
The minder told talk show host Larry King on Monday night, "I think that I was shocked, saddened. It’s a very sad issue all the way around. I’m happy that the kids will have some stability in the future here. I’m mixed with emotions at this point.
"I’m scared for her. I really hope her staff really keep a close eye on her." Barretto is confident his testimony that he saw Spears under the influence of alcohol and drugs, while looking after her kids, helped to sway the judge’s decision. He told King, "I think it had some weight. I’m happy that it did influence his decision. And I think he made the appropriate decision."
