TROUBLED pop star Britney Spears has ended her custody battle that sees ex-husband Kevin Federline retain sole rights to her sons, OK! magazine has reported.

Federline's lawyer, Vince Kaplan, said the pair today signed a settlement to seal the deal.

"All parties have agreed to the following: Kevin will retain sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James," he said.

"Britney will continue to have visitation rights which may increase over time. The agreement will be presented to the court in the morning for approval by the commissioner.

"Kevin is ecstatic and the boys are thriving," he reportedly told OK!

It is a sad, sad situation for those boys when K-Fed is the better parent.

[Sue Perkick]

Took the words right off my keyboard.

[Joe 6-pack]

Hopefully for her, this is the bottom she needs to hit in order for her to start getting her life together. For most people in her condition, the only bottom left after this one is at the bottom of a 6’ hole.

[KansasGirl]

Especially when his primary goal is the money that he will get from Britney not the welfare of those kids. Sad indeed. What is even sadder is that the media and our culture glorify those losers in Hollywood.

[misterrob]

Maybe, (and I mean that in every sense of the word) he has been given a chance to man up and is rising to the challenge. He might not be perfect but if he's home for them to see him, he spends time with them and gives them something consistent then that's a heck of a lot better than what she was offering. The kids will never starve, there will be domestic help to make sure they don't play with matches and perhaps there will be a surrogate female figure who will give them enough love to counteract some of the damage their white trash mother has inflicted.

[Centurion2000]

She could just hire a hitman.

[MeanWestTexan]

Looks like mother of the year, to me.

[LouieFisk]

Word can’t express the sorrow I feel for Britney on this, I don’t if I’ll recover.

But on the bright side, this will mean she has more free time to get together with Paris & Lindsay to combine thier gigantic intellects as they seek solutions to the ills that plague mankind.

[no dems]

Ordinarily, I’d say “Who cares?” but hopefully by seeing a “high profile celeb” lose her children because of her partying and irresponsibile lifestyle, it will be an object lesson to, and work for good, for a few young ladies/moms.

[romanesq]

Federline immediately booked a trip to Vegas.
Ka-ching.

This derelict has really scored. All hail Feder-douche.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

That was long ago...before she went from "not guilty" to "guilty".

[Rebelbase]

In her mind, Brittany’s now got a good reason to go out and get toasted tonight.

[Lizavetta]

"Kevin is ecstatic and the boys are thriving," he reportedly told OK!

Thriving my ass. They have a huge hole in their lives without their mother. She's no Carol Brady but she's Mommy, who is now rarely around.

[tx_eggman]

It is a sad, sad situation for those boys when K-Fed is the better parent.

Sadder still that the story is considered news ...

oh my God Britney lost custody ... and Ben and Jennifer are preggers again ... and ... oh, oh, oh ... American Idol .. no, no, I meant Survivor ... er ... Amazing Race.

Where are we headed ... and what's this handbasket we're in

[Afronaut]

Sad day in the United Sates of America that there is a Ping list for this kind of garbage. There is no excuse for being entertained by Britney news.

If you are, you have officially reached the bottom and your pathetic defense as to "why" is subject to automatic dismissal by the people who have not been infected buy this and other important Hollywood news.

Anything that is posted in defense should be viewed as evidence of the decay of intelligence of the American population and Mankind.

There is no excuse for entertainment provided by Britney Spears. I am ashamed to see this on the FR. I know that it is impossible that you can not see why.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

In her mind, Brittany’s now got a good reason to go out and get toasted tonight.

Yep, she's probably already picking out which panties she won't wear.

[gitmogrunt]

Who would question my fitness as a parent?

[Moleman]

MILF

[MeanWestTexan]

Nah, she's back. This was two weeks ago:

[Perdogg]

[cw35]

lose lose for the kids.

Her husband now gets child support I guess.

[MeanWestTexan]

for whatever reason, can’t hot link

Exactly. These are primary reasons that so many in our country don't notice or care that Marxism is creeping in on us.

[Boagenes]

Exactly my thoughts. How sad is it that K-Fed is the better parent?

[Perdogg]

[grellis]

This is General Chat, for crying out loud!!!! If you don't like it, go play with the highbrows in the News/Activism forum. FWIW, there have always been threads like this on FR. This isn't a new thing here.

[dmz]

Apparently, in your view, this story is much more important to you than you let on. You read, thought, and posted on it.

Freepers who really don’t think something is worth their time dont read and post on the thread.

You outed yourself the moment you click Post.

[4yearlurker]

The picture of Spears in post #9 is awful! She got some bad advice on that one.

[IYAS9YAS]

She's no Carol Brady but she's Mommy, who is now rarely around.

She's neither, and was rarely good for the kids when she was around, if you beleive the reports on her.

Sometimes kids are just better off without one or the other parent in their lives.

They didn't need to be around her self-destruction.

[cajungirl]

You are a bad bad man,,,,keep it up!

[IYAS9YAS]

And yet, here you are.

[caver]

Yea, you got to wonder how those kids are going to turn out.

[caver]

“Especially when his primary goal is the money that he will get from Britney not the welfare of those kids.”

How do you know that? The father is always substandard?

[KansasGirl]

Nope, but he has done nothing to make me think otherwise.

[kickonly88]

I agree. The pic in post 22 is much better, I like women with curves

[caver]

That’s what I thought.

[MeanWestTexan]

Ugly clothes, I agree, but her mid-section is nice.

[ModelBreaker]

“There is no excuse for entertainment provided by Britney Spears.”

BUMP

[river rat]

Well - it’s good to see that Britney complies with “Truth in Packaging” - and has applied the appropriate “Skank Stamps” just above her bikini line...visible in this picture.

Looks like she gave “Fair Warning” and “Legal Disclaimers” were in place for the observant...

[InsensitiveConservative]

Skank stamps? I thought it was a zipper.

[MeanWestTexan]

No, this one is a zipper: Someone should tell her that it's forbidden by the Law of Moses to get tattoos, even in Hebrew. Guess no Orthodox cemetary for her.

[MeanWestTexan]

My Hebrew is admittedly lacking, but I believe together the characters form one of the 72 words for God (Kabbalah).

Pretty disrespectful; I hope she has gotten this removed.

[SJackson]

She should have skipped the tatoo and just bought a healing bracelet or necklace.

Better yet, quit smoking, quit drugs.

[InsensitiveConservative]

She likely kept the zipper after she dumped Kabbalah. Her and Madonna/Madge/Esther had that hissy fight and Spears went back to her Christian Life Coach.

[winstonwolf33]

Just in case anyone here forgot how Britney Spears used to look like:

;^)

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Geeze...somebody sure is cranky. If you don't want to read about BritBrit...well, don't open the thread. Its in General/Chat...not like our celeb news is displacing an uber important screed by AlGore in Breaking or any flamewar over in Religion...

I used to have a great quote by Jane Austen as my taggy...

"What is joy in life but to make folly of our neighbors?" I love the celeb antics...and you know what? Even before the Internet; before the National Enquirer (which is waaay more accurate than the NY Slimes btw); there were Hollywood Gossip magazines...my mom used to read PhotoPlay...so my kids will look back on the days that their mom enjoyed PerezHilton. Relax...nothing to get so upset about...

[MeanWestTexan]

Your post made me wonder about Britney’s tattoo; which mitvah trumps which -— no tattoos or no erasing the name of G-d.

Reinforces my belief that dabbling in the Kabballah is both dangerous and silly.
