In Britney We Trust! Despite the fact that Britney Spears seems only able to produce crappy albums and awkward shows, have very public meltdowns, eschew court dates, check in and out of rehab, vacillate about her religious affiliation, flash her nether-regions to eager photogs, and drink away her liquid assets in Starbucks Frappucinos, the truth of the matter is, the business of being Britney is extremely profitable...for everyone else in her world. An article......

Federline family values: Fading pop diva and the ex-Mrs. K-Fed who sent law enforcement and the paparazzi into a tailspin last night has lost visitation rights to see her two sons, a court ruled today. Sole custody has been temporarily award to her babies' daddy, meanwhile, Britney remains involuntarily hospitalized. What is it going to take to get Ms. Spears back on track? The homicide tally for 2008 moves up another notch with the reporting......

This photo of Britney Spears has nothing to do with tonight's incident, but is still ridiculously funny CBS 2 11 O'Clock News Live is reporting that six LAPD units, one ambulance and a fire engine were dispatched to Britney Spears' Mulholland Drive home at 8:00 p.m. tonight over Spears and Kevin Federline's ongoing custody battle (earlier today, we reported that Spears' lawyers gave up on her). We've learned Spears has refused to turn her......

One of the best lessons from Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek is how firing clients can make you happy. It fits into the 80/20 principle, or Pareto's Law. Think about it this way as Ferriss exemplifies in the book: "80% of the consequences flow from 20% of the causes. 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort and time. 80% of company profits come from 20% of products and customers." It can be......

Britney Spears has been having a bad week. I thought it was bad a couple weeks ago when she had a hit and run, bombed at the VMA's and had her lawyer drop her. That was actually sunshine and roses compared to this week... It all started this week when it was alerted to the authorities that Brit was driving without a California license, and had in fact never had one. Us Weekly is......

Even OJ didn't lose custody of his children, yet somehow Britney Spears has to turn her spawn over to K-Fed. An LA court commissioner today ordered that Spears' ex, Kevin Federline, will be granted full physical custody of their two young sons beginning Wednesday - which we believe is still Prince Spaghetti Day. What did the commish have to look at regarding Britney's behavior over the years? Well lets see - she shaved all......

The unwritten rules for laundromats built before 1987 are as following: A. A half dozen washers or dryers must have Out of Order signs B. A crazy looking person who doesn't appear to be doing laundry at all must stare randomly at people. C. A musty classic arcade game such as Ms. Pac-Man or Galaga sit in the corner for entertainment. Now, I'm not a slack-jawed obsessive classic arcade gamer by any means but I......

Illinois teens arrested in Hollywood Hills fire A wildfire that authorities say was ignited by two teenagers tore through the brush-covered hills surrounding the famous Hollywood sign Friday, putting a scare into the city but doing little damage other than coating the area in a thick blanket of smoke.

For some reason fast food professionals are upset with being associated with the former Mr. Spears. And for some reason Mr. Federline got a Super Bowl commercial and neither of his ex-wives did. Life isn't fair, but Super Bowl commercials are usually good. We think this one is pretty damn good. Good job, Nationwide.......

Apparently the former Mr. Spears tried to break into wrestling against WWE champion John Cena. Some are reporting that Kevin Federline won his first match due to a loophole in the WWE "rules" that allowed another fighter to help him out. We don't really care what the story line is, we just know he gets owned in the video above and here. Popo ouch, K-Fed.......

With the start of a new year, it only makes sense for us to reflect on the events of the past year. Last year marked the deaths of two legendary hip hop figures, J Dilla and DJ Dusk, and the proclamation that hip hop, too, is dead. In 2007 we need to ask ourselves, is Nas just starting a controversy, or is hip hop really dead? Well, I can’t answer that for you. I......

In a statement oozing of paradoxes, World of Britney's webmaster, Ruben Garay announced Wednesday that he would be pulling the plug on the most popular un-official web site dedicated to the pop princess. As Britney keeps losing her identity and credibility within fans and industry people, so is WoB. We're moving on to greater, bigger things. I would therefore like to announce the permanent shut down of World of Britney.com beginning January 31st, 2007.......

At the top of CNN.com is a big Breaking News banner that reads: "Britney Spears files for divorce from her husband Kevin Federline, citing irreconcilable differences." That's all we know for now, but that sentence pretty much sums it up in a nutshell, doesn't it. And really, is anyone surprised? ***There's more: Looks like TMZ.com got the scoop faster than you can say "firecrotch." TMZ obtained the legal papers, filed today in Los Angeles......

It's National Novel Writing Month, so LAist is writing a novel. like KFed's "music", the rule is you cant worry about it being good, it just needs to be written down by you, during this month. frankly i cant believe that day two was so much easier than day one, but still i procrastinated a lot because i didnt know what i was going to write and now that its over i dont know......

Let's take a look back at a week that raised this Zen koan: if Kevin Federline got into a wrestling ring with a wrestler, who would you root for? Austinist was in an entertainment state of mind as they covered the dickens out of the Austin Film Festival, depicted all the Big 12 football coaches as South Park characters, and interviewed Jose Gonzalez. Chicagoist talked about the passion as they bid adieu to Bell's......

Two killed, two injured when a Metro Blue Line train smashed into a car yesterday morning - CBS-2 Although once one of the best juvenile detention systems in the country, LA now has one of the worst, and it has only gotten scarier in the last ten years. The Board of Supervisors is partially to blame, the Times says. In the last year, county juvenile facilities operated by the Probation Department have erupted in......

You know there's really nothing on television when LAist watches a pregnant Britney Spears' sit-down with Matt Lauer for Dateline on NBC last night. (Do you need ratings this badly, Matt?) It was a tiny little pity party for the Malibu princess -- just in front of a nationwide audience. Getting all teary-eyed when talking about how tough her life is with the media hounding her and her hubby Kevin Federline relentlessly... or how......
