Britney Spears' boyfriend Jason Trawick has reportedly met with her ex-husband to ask about proposing.

Jason is alleged to have set up a meeting with Kevin Federline - who has sons Sean Preston, four, and Jayden James, three, with Britney - to seek his approval.

A source said: "Jason not only professed his love for Britney, he told Kevin he absolutely adores his two sons. Jason acknowledged that Kevin will always be the boys' real dad, but respectfully asked his blessing as a future co-parent. Jason has been spending lots of time with the boys to try and bond with them."

The meeting between the pair is said to have gone well with the pair embracing in a hug at the end of the meeting.

The source added: "Kevin couldn't be happier, he trusts Jason. The guys agreed to be in close touch - and Britney's thrilled knowing she's now one step closer to her goal of marrying Jason and living happily ever after."

Britney has reportedly already made two proposals to talent agent Jason, but he has turned them down.

Lily Allen Will Never Fake It Like Britney Spears - New Kerala

Posted: 24 Dec 2009 10:07 AM PST

December 24, 2009: LILY ALLEN has no intention of following in the footsteps of miming superstar BRITNEY SPEARS - insisting the singer is awful at lip-syncing her tracks.

The Smile hitmaker is adamant she would never pretend to sing along to her hits, unlike Spears, who came under fire for failing to perform live on her latest tour.

And Allen insists she'd get the words wrong if she tried to fake her vocals.

She says, "I have never ever lip-synced in my life. I think I would be even worse than Britney. I would get it so wrong.

"At least when I get the lyrics wrong you can hear me get them wrong! If you could see my mouth saying something completely different as to what came out of the speaker that would be embarrassing!"

Britney Spears' Conservatorship Continues - Post Chronicle

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 07:38 AM PST

Britney Spears, the 'Toxic' singer's father Jamie Spears - who was made co-conservator of her personal and professional affairs after her public breakdown in 2008 - will remain in control of her life, a judge has ruled.

Although it is not known how long the conservatorship will remain in place, lawyers involved in the case expect it to last between six and 12 months.

Under the ruling, Britney will pay Jamie $16,000-a-month, while his co-conservator, lawyer Andrew Wallet, received $174,569.10 for his services between July 2009 and November 2009.

Earlier this month, it was reported the mother-of-two's conservatorship could end.

Jamie had met with lawyers and wanted a judge to review the conditions of the agreement following the conclusion of Britney's 'Circus' tour.

It had previously been claimed Britney feels "completely out of it" because her father is so controlling.

A source said: "She is so out of it she just doesn't care anymore. She just does what she's told and is totally in her world.

"She'll even call people at all hours of night for a general conversation and acts like it's the middle of the day or something." (c) BANG

Judge orders records opened in Palin custody case - Tacoma News Tribune

Posted: 28 Dec 2009 11:17 PM PST

The custody dispute between Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin over their now 1-year-old son Tripp is playing out in court, and despite Palin's efforts to keep the case confidential, a judge last week opened it to the public.

Palin filed a petition for full legal and physical custody Nov. 4. She argued that she and her family provided almost all of the care anyway and asserted that "Levi is not yet mature enough to take on significant parental responsibilities." She also is seeking court-ordered child support.

But Johnston says he wants to share custody of his son and do what he can for Tripp, and Bristol. There's no evidence either of the young parents is unfit, his lawyer, Rex Butler, wrote in a court filing.

This is an unusual custody case because Bristol Palin is the teenage daughter and Tripp is the grandson of former Gov. Sarah Palin. She and Johnston broke up not long after their son was born. He turned 1 on Sunday. Her pregnancy, announced shortly after her mother was chosen to be the vice presidential running mate of Sen. John McCain, received massive media attention. The parents are both now 19.

Bristol Palin sought to have the case sealed from the public, arguing that would be in Tripp's best interest. She asked for a gag order so no one could talk about it. She wanted all filings to be under the pseudonyms Jane and John Doe.

One of her lawyers, Thomas Van Flein, pointed out that proceedings were closed in custody disputes involving some other famous people: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, and Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.

"This is a routine matter, but the parties' respective celebrity status mandates the protection of the baby ... whose privacy interests should be protected until and unless one day the child decides otherwise," Van Flein wrote.

Johnston fought to allow the custody matter to unfold in public, saying in a sworn statement that doing so would help put everyone on best behavior. He noted that Van Flein also represents Sarah Palin.

"I know that public scrutiny will simplify this matter and act as a check against anyone's need to be overly vindictive, aggressive or malicious, not that Bristol would ever be that way, nor that I would. But her mother is powerful, politically ambitious and has a reputation for being extremely vindictive," Johnston said in his affidavit. "So, I think a public case might go a long way in reducing Sarah Palin's instinct to attack."

Johnston said he didn't want to hurt or embarrass his son -- or Bristol. He thinks Sarah Palin, not Bristol, is acting with "sheer malice," Butler wrote in a court filing.

"He feels Sarah Palin, through her lawyer, under the guise of Bristol Palin's name, would run roughshod over his very bones," Butler wrote.

Bristol Palin responded in a sworn statement that Johnston's assertions and fears about vindictiveness and meddling are off base.

"None of this is true; my mother is not involved in this case," except as a grandmother, she said in her statement.

Johnston only wanted the spectacle of a public custody dispute "for his own self-promotion," Bristol Palin asserted. She said she believes he will soon be filming a reality TV show in Alaska and doesn't think it would be good for Tripp for that to happen during the custody fight. But Butler said nothing has been firmed up about a reality show and that Johnston's priority is his custody quest.

Alaska Superior Court Judge Kari Kristiansen of Palmer ruled on Dec. 23 that Bristol Palin hadn't provided any evidence that Tripp would be harmed by the anticipated publicity. She ordered all the sealed records opened.

In addition, Sharon Gleason, presiding judge for the judicial district, ruled against Bristol Palin's request to use pseudonyms.
