Spears - mum to Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one - gave her sister pregnancy tips during an intimate baby shower at her parents’ home in Kentwood, Louisiana on Saturday (03May08).

Jamie Lynn tells American’s OK! magazine, “To be able to be in the privacy of our own home and just be sisters again was wonderful.

“She told me, ‘There are going to be some long nights, but it is completely worth it.”.

The 17-year-old actress is set to become a mum in June (08).

Britney Spears will get more time with her sons during visitation, a court ruled Tuesday.

“We are so pleased with Britney’s progress, and we are appreciative of the court’s recognition of this progress,” Spears’s parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, said in statement after a hearing attended by the pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

It was not clear how much more time Spears was granted. Federline’s attorney characterized the court order as “an expansion of time.”

“It is a cautious step, but a step forward nonetheless,” said lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. “We are seeing signs of [Britney's] progress, and consistency over time is something welcome by Kevin … The children are doing great.”

Spears, with lawyer Blair Berk and both of her parents, smiled as she left the courtroom and headed for her SUV, but did not talk to the press. Earlier, during a break in the hearing, the singer was seen looking teary-eyed. However, during a second break, she smiled and held her mother’s hand as she went back into the courtroom.

During that break, Spears and her lawyers, as well as Federline and his attorney, convened to adjacent rooms outside of the courtroom.

The hearing began around 9:40 a.m. on Tuesday. Spears, wearing a knee-length brown and white dress, was accompanied by her lawyer and both of her parents. Federline, wearing a tan pinstriped suit, was with Kaplan.

Spears has spent the last several months keeping a relatively low profile – and staying out of trouble. The singer was hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center’s psych ward in January. Her custody arrangement has consisted of only monitored visitation rights with her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, several times a week – but no overnight privileges. Her father and a lawyer maintain legal control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.

Since her father took control of Spears’s life, the singer has been spending more time with her family – including her previously estranged mom. (She recently attended a baby shower for her sister, Jamie Lynn, in Kentwood, La.)

Brittney Spears is trying to get her pop star body back. According to an insider, she does a 2 hour routine at Bally’s complete with 22 minutes on the elliptical, plus crunches, weights and the treadmill.

Her former manager Larry Rudolph on Brit’s transformation: “She’s in great shape. I mean, really great shape. I see huge improvements with her. She’s exercising. She’s eating great. These are the things she needs to be doing right now. She’s well on the road to being the Britney everyone knows and loves.”

A source told Life  & Style: “She’s become very aware that she doesn’t look like she sued to, and she’s working hard to do something about it.”

The source added that Brit’s been working out 5 days a week, avoiding junk food, getting manicures, and using a tanning bed at home.

Best of luck wished to her, but I think Larry here is exaggerating just a bit.

The ‘Toxic’ singer met with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier in Culver City, California, on Thursday (04.03.08) to discuss a fashion range.

Audigier told America’s Star magazine: “I have known Britney for a long time- she is a good friend of mine. We’re talking about working together, designing a line of clothing.”

During the meeting, Britney and her mother Lynne picked out some Ed Hardy clothes to take home and happily chatted to staff in the office.

Marissa McMillion, who works for Ed Hardy, revealed: “She was really nice to everyone in the office. Her mom was with her and Britney asked us to send some clothes to her sister Jamie Lynn for her birthday.

“Britney’s favorite piece was a leopard hoodie and she loved the sunglasses - she put them on immediately. But most of all she was a fan of Christian Audigier’s own line.”

If the deal goes ahead, Britney, 26, would be the latest in a long line of celebrities to release a clothes range.

I wonder if it will be called White Trash Designs?

Usmagazine.com has confirmed that Britney Spears will guest star on the March 24 episode of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

The pop star, 26 will play Abby, a receptionist at a dermatologist’s office who falls for architect Ted (Josh Radnor) when he comes in to have a tattoo removed. (It is Spears’ first return to the small screen since a 2006 cameo on Will & Grace.)

A court commissioner on Monday approved a $1,500 weekly allowance for the beleaguered pop princess, whose financial affairs have been under the temporary control of her father and his attorneys for a month and a half.

The “Toxic” singer, whose estate is reportedly worth an estimated $100 million, will have access to the cash via debit card to “enjoy herself, have some freedom of choice,” Geraldine Wyle, an attorney with Luce Forward, the firm overseeing Jamie Spears’ conservatorship, told E! News.

Jamie Spears is getting $2,500 a week from his daughter’s estate, plus funds to lease a car, in exchange for temporarily managing her affairs.

A Los Angeles court commissioner has ruled that Britney Spears’ dad can draw $2,500 -a-week from his daughter’s accounts - as conservator of her affairs.

According to TMZ.com, Jamie Spears was also given permission to lease a car in a court ruling on Wednesday, during which the pop star’s father was told he would be allowed to stay in control of his daughter’s legal and financial affairs until July 31.

Jamie was appointed conservator of his daughter’s affairs at the beginning of February. His shared responsibility - with court-appointed observer Andrew Wallet - was supposed to end on Monday.

Instead, the extension will be made official on that date - hours after Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s child custody and visitation case returns to Los Angeles Superior Court.

TROUBLED BRITNEY SPEARS last night denied she is pregnant by her British lover.

Snapper ADNAN GHALIB has been bragging to pals that the singer is expecting his baby.

But a source close to the singer said: “Britney has put on weight because the doctors have switched her prescription.”

Rumours of a possible pregnancy started back in January when the couple were pictured in a chemist buying a home pregnancy test kit.

Britney’s 16-year-old sister JAMIE LYNN is currently expecting her first child.

Meanwhile, police say they are now looking into claims the singer was drugged.

Police Captain KYLE JACKSON revealed the claims were “being considered”, though a formal investigation has not been launched.

No suspect has, as yet, been named.

Britney’s mum, LYNNE, claimed in court papers that SAM LUTFI, the singer’s formal ‘manager’ had ‘drugged’ and ’stole’ from her as well as cutting off her phone lines.

The allegations led to Lufti being served a restraining order, banning him from making contact with the singer and coming within 250 yards of her.

Britney Spears’ paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has stunned his friends by insisting the singer is expecting his baby.

Pals of the British-born photographer claim he targetted Spears in a bid to make her pregnant, and is bragging that he has succeeded.

The claims appear in the current edition of US magazine Star, alongside pictures of Spears with what appears to be a bulging tummy.

A friend tells the magazine: “Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with her, he’d be made for life.

“Adnan is a social climber who uses women to get what he wants.”

Ghalib has previously revealed Spears really thought she was pregnant with his child when they were snapped buying pregnancy tests in January.
