Britney Spears Appears in Court
Remember so long ago — two years, already? — when old school pop tart Britney Spears was going through an acting-out phase? The shaved head, the unladylike flashings, the British accent, the consorting with Rasputin-like paparazzi? All of that fun ended up with a court turning over her affairs to a conservatorship overseen by her father.
And it worked! Brit went on a world tour, made a lot of money, has a steady boyfriend, and has had no public meltdowns. So when she went back to court Friday, one could be forgiven for thinking the bindings might be loosened a bit. But it was not to be. The changes turned out to be minor.
Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz approved a request to donate a dress to charity that Spears wore to the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. The proceeds will benefit relief efforts in Haiti.
The court also granted her father authority to get rid of some of Spears’ property that was used during last year’s “Circus” tour. The items are described as being “valueless” and occupying several storage containers.
No other changes were announced during a brief open session after Spears had left the courtroom.
It was Spears’ first meeting with Goetz since the singer concluded a world tour promoting the “Circus” album last year.

Lindsay Lohan has taken to Twitter to slam her dad Michael, following reports that he is seeking conservatorship over her, and that he’s offered an entertainment TV show tape-recorded conversations between himself and his ex-wife, Dina, in which they discuss their daughter’s well-being.
“My father is a lunatic & doesn’t even deserve such a title since he’s never been around in my life other than when he’d threaten me & my family,” Tweeted Lindsay, who just finished shooting the thriller Machete opposite Robert DeNiro. “He should be where he has always put himself after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life-behind bars.”

Jon Gosselin sued by TLC

The TLC network is suing Jon Gosselin for breaching his contract as star of the now-shelved Jon & Kate Plus 8.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Maryland, alleges that the Father of the Year (just kidding) hasn’t met the obligations of his contract as an exclusive employee, has appeared on other programs for pay and made unauthorized disclosures about the show.
The network didn’t mention Jon’s various affairs with bartenders, nannies and college students.
