SPEARS HOPES BABY BLUNDER WILL RAISE CHILD SAFETY ISSUES

Thursday, February 16th, 2006

Clever BRITNEY SPEARS has found a way to win back favour after being snapped driving through Malibu, California with her baby son on her lap - by hoping her blunder will make other mums think hard about child safety.

The pop superstar has already come clean about the dangerous gaffe, which had family groups enraged - and almost cost her a hefty fine.

In an interview last week (ends10FEB06), she called the incident “a mistake,” explaining she was trying to dash away from paparazzi without restraining her son SEAN PRESTON.

Now, speaking exclusively to America’s People magazine, Spears urges other parents to take child safety more seriously.

She says, “I love my baby more than anything, and as unfortunate an experience as this has been for me and my family, if it brings more attention to child safety then I fully support that.”

Britney Spears Rushed to Emergency Room

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Pop tart Britney Spears was again rushing down the Pacific Coast Highway on a Monday. But this time, the new mom has a good reason; she was rushed to the emergency room.

News site TMZ is reporting that the Malibu resident was at the Malibu Urgent Care sometime on Monday.

The site has retrieved this picture of Britney and it appears she is getting back into the car after a visit to the center.

The published report details that Spears was complaining of “stomach cramps,”

Mondays have not been kind to Britney of late. Just last week, she was snapped as she drove down the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu with baby Sean Preston on her lap.

She has been hammered with criticism from that incident and likely has been under a great deal of stress.

Recall that while she was still pregnant with Sean Preston, Brit made headlines with a rushed trip to the emergency room of Sacred Heart Hospital in West Destin, Florida last April complaining of the same ailment.

Britney Spears: ‘I Made a Mistake’

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

Britney Spears Takes Some Responsibility for Driving With Her Baby Son Sitting in Her Lap.

Britney Spears has taken responsibility well, some of it for driving with her baby son, Sean Preston, sitting in her lap.

“I made a mistake and so it is what it is, I guess,” Spears tells “Access Hollywood” in an interview that was to air Thursday.

Several photos published Tuesday showed Spears driving her sport utility vehicle in Malibu, Calif., with her 4-month-old son perched on her lap rather than strapped into a car seat in the back seat.

The 24-year-old pop star said she did it because of a “horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi.”

In response, X17, the agency that snapped the pictures, said they were snapped “in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior.”

“Being put in the situation that I was in, it was kind of bad with the paparazzi,” Spears tells “Access Hollywood.” “Last week, my mom and I went out and they were on us really bad, so you instinctively do what you need to do.”

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has said it won’t pursue any charges.

Sean Preston, who was born in September, is Spears’ first child. She is married to Kevin Federline, a former backup dancer.

Britney Meeting Ex-husband For Chat Sessions

Wednesday, February 8th, 2006

Britney Spears has started meeting up with her ex-husband JASON ALEXANDER again - because he lives in the same Los Angeles apartment block as her dad.

The couple only wed for 55 hours but sources claim the pop star is still friendly with her father JAMIE’s neighbour, and has been meeting him in Studio City for heartfelt chats.

A pal of Alexander’s tells American magazine In Touch, “Britney has been visiting him whenever she feels lonely. She used to come over once a month, but now she visits more regularly.

“She’s known Jason since they were little, so she feels like she can trust him.”

The publication has even tracked a regular weekly visiting schedule, claiming Britney visits Alexander on Wednesdays, between 2pm and 5pm.

This latest news follows months of speculation about the state of Britney’s marriage to dancer KEVIN FEDERLINE.

In Touch also claims the couple had a public fight at their favourite restaurant, Moonshadows, last Friday (03FEB06), after which Federline stormed out, leaving a weeping Britney to dine alone.

I’m speechless! I’ll let Jared from justjared.com do the talking:

Britney Spears: "I Love My Child" — A source close to Britney Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean Preston Federline in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son.

Shortly after pictures surfaced of Britney Spears driving down Pacific Coast Highway with her son Sean Preston Federline on her lap, Britney’s people quickly released a statement to her PR-damage-control magazine of choice (People magazine) explaining, "Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm’s way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him." Two questions are begging to be answered. 1) Why doesn’t Britney have her own seatbelt on? 2) If it was such a "horrifying, frightful encounter," why is she smiling? It must have been terrifying.

The company that took these pictures retorted against Britney’s statement claiming, "These pictures were taken in a very peaceful context, in which photographers exhibited no aggressive behavior. We believe the pictures speak for themselves." TMZ has learned the LA County Department of Chidren and Family Services (DCFS) has contacted the LA County Sheriff’s Department, inquiring about Britney driving with her baby on her lap without proper child restraint.
