Did Kevin Stand Up Britney?
"Before Brit dropped the papers on him, a Fed-up Britney Spears was spotted weeping in a NYC restaurant last Thursday. A girl only cries in a restaurant when she's been stood up. The pair was in the Big Apple this weekend, but stayed at different hotels. How inconvenient. Apparently, the Federputz didn't show up for a scheduled rendezvous. Not good. Spears can be seen at the table, wiping away tears and talking to a man who appears to be her bodyguard. Britney then shows the man a new red dress with a tag on it, leaves the table and returns in the dress! As TMZ first reported, whatshisname didn't know that Spears was filing for divorce. According to court papers filed yesterday, Spears is asking for both legal and physical custody of one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights. Er, when he shows up, of course."Yesterday she was seen out shopping and then ice skating.
No matter where she goes, Britney Spears can't escape the global impact of her not-so-shocking split from WhatshisFed. As the super-sexy almost-single mom strolled into a NYC Gap store last night, she didn't appear to be bothered by a huge scrolling electronic sign behind her, flashing the headline; "Britney Spears Filed for Divorce." Her smile has more wattage than the sign! After her mini shopping spree for some winter clothes, she headed to the famous ice rink in Rockefeller Center for a spin with manager Larry Rudolph. The Brit is back!Newly single and icy cool, Britney Spears took to the world famous ice skating rink at
Rockefeller Center in New York tonight, in a post-filing-of-papers celebratory skate. With K-Fed in the deep freeze, she has reason to celebrate. Brit's manager Larry Rudolph helped the blonde pop tart stay upright, while hordes of amazed tourists took pictures and watched the teen idol skate. Once Britney got her balance, she was twirling and putting on quite a show -- just two hours after news of her split was scooped by TMZ. Just before skating, she did some damage at a local Gap store to pick up an outfit for the rink. She looked fine in her slick black pants, plunging neckline and white hat (the good guys always wear a white hat). She had been seen earlier leaving her hotel, and dining at Italian bistro Baldoria, protected by dark glasses and a large bodyguard.Is Kevin going to fight for custody?
TMZ has learned Kevin Federline may fight Britney Spears for custody of his children. Federline has not had much time to react to Spears' decision to end the marriage, and that's because she didn't tell him in advance that she was filing for divorce. Federline was caught flatfooted when TMZ broke the story Tuesday that Britney filed legal papers in L.A. County Superior Court.
Spears has asked for sole custody of the couple's two small children. TMZ is told Federline is thinking of challenging that, even though Spears has functioned as the primary, if not soleparent, as Federline tours the country hawking his CD. Federline almost certainly cannot challenge the prenup. Sources say hotshot divorce lawyer Laura Wasser drafted an air-tight prenuptial agreement before the couple married. So Federline's only chance of cashing in is by mounting an ugly custody fight, trying to force a more lucrative settlement. But friends of Spears say Britney will fight a holy war to prevent Federline from getting custody and, given his track record -- or lack of it -- with the kids, it would appear Spears has the clear advantage.
