Britney Spears' ex pleads no contest - Asbury Park Press

Posted: 10 Oct 2009 05:48 AM PDT

LOS ANGELES — A former boyfriend of singer Britney Spears has pleaded no contest to leaving the scene of an accident that injured a man who was trying to serve him with a restraining order.

Adnan Ghalib, 37, entered the plea Friday in Van Nuys Superior Court.

Prosecutors say the victim was trying to serve Ghalib a temporary restraining order obtained by Spears' father at Ghalib's Encino apartment complex last February when Ghalib drove his car toward the process server. The man jumped on the car's hood ad then fell off, breaking his wrist and sustaining other injuries. Ghalib then drove away.

In exchange for the plea, prosecutors say two other felony counts will be dismissed when Ghalib is sentenced next month.

He faces up to a year in county jail.

Kevin Federline has reportedly got into $110,000 (69,000) of debt after abandoning his Los Angeles home without paying rent or covering damages.

The dancer, who has two sons with ex-wife Britney Spears, angered landlords by allegedly disappearing without paying the last six months of rent and leaving the property in an uninhabitable state.

A source told Bang Showbiz: "The landlord was distraught when he saw the state of the house. Everything was broken and even the garden lampposts were bent."

The owner of the property has apparently sent a letter to the 31-year-old demanding compensation and threatening legal action.

Federline's spokesperson said: "His agent, manager and lawyer no longer work for him. None of us have any idea what is going on."

Britney Spears Determined To Win Kids Back - Post Chronicle

Posted: 08 Oct 2009 06:48 AM PDT

Britney Spears is preparing to move for full custody of her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline - because she's reportedly concerned her boys are picking up bad habits from their dad.

The Toxic hitmaker was recently granted an extension on the equal custody agreement she has with Federline to share care of Sean Preston, four, and Jayden James, three, while she's on tour.

The former dancer was handed primary custody of the kids last year (08) after Spears suffered a mental breakdown.

But the pop star is reportedly considering filing legal documents to make her the primary guardian when her world Circus tour comes to a stop this November (09), reports the National Enquirer.

A source says, "She is ready to fight to get her boys back. Britney feels that leaving Kevin in charge has turned her sons into cursing, ill-mannered little boys who don't behave. Britney wants to be the one who chooses where the boys go to school and where they go to church.

"She wants full custody and for Kevin to have visitation. Britney feels that Kevin is now the one with problems that the judge needs to hear about. She believes he's become a poor role model for Sean and Jayden. The boys are used to Kevin's foul-mouthed, lazy, unemployed dancer friends, who either live at the house or hang out there. Britney doesn't want the boys growing up thinking that kind of lifestyle is acceptable."

Federline, who has piled on the pounds in recent years, was this week (begs05Oct09) accused of failing to keep up with rent payments on his Tarzana, California home. (c) WENN

GRAND FORKS (AP) — Figures from the Grand Forks events center show last month's Britney Spears concert lost $96,600.

Alerus Center officials said the concert attracted 13,019 people, including suite holders, and earned $1.1 million. Expenses totaled $1.2 million, with most of it the $850,000 guarantee that the Alerus Center made with promoters.

Stilll, University of North Dakota economist David Flynn estimated the concert had a direct economic impact of $1.9 million. The figure is based on surveys of concertgoers about how much they spent on such things as food, beverages and hotel stays. Officials estimated about a third of the concertgoers were from Canada.
