That is seriously fucked up if he bugged her bedroom. I forgot that part and I watched that documentary. And given the former security employee admitting to it, I tend to believe it's true. Jamie should be held accountable for that shit.

She was forced, under the orders of a conservatorship, into having an IUD inserted. I would be 100% certain that the cruelty would continue as far as bugging her bedroom. So, I believe it as well.

Britney Spears ran out of gas in the middle of one of the busiest freeways in Los Angeles and had to call police to get her to safety.

The 40-year-old music megastar was in her white Mercedes-Benz as she blocked the third lane southbound on the 101 north of Balboa Blvd according to law enforcement sources for TMZ on Wednesday.

Police had received a call around 10pm and found Britney in the backseat of a passerby's car when they arrived at the scene.

The publication reports that Britney told the officers that she had ran out of gas while driving and her car stalled out in the middle of the highway.

After California Highway Patrol stopped traffic on the freeway, a law enforcement officer got into the driver's seat of Britney's Mercedes-Benz.

Britney sat in the passenger seat as the vehicle proceeded to be pushed to safety.

TMZ reports that police told them that the Oops... I Did It Again hitmaker thanked the officers and said that she was doing fine.

Law enforcement stayed alongside the celebrity until her new husband, Sam Asghari, arrived to pick her up.

Britney and her 28-year-old Iranian-American boyfriend arrived back in LA last week after their honeymoon.

The couple were married in a lavish Los Angeles ceremony last month, with famous wedding guests that included Paris Hilton, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Donatella Versace and Madonna.

They also recently moved in to a luxurious new mansion, with the singer explaining that she and Sam had focused on purchasing their new home before planning out a honeymoon.

Spears was previously married to Kevin Federline, 44, from 2004 until 2007. The two share two sons, Sean Preston Federline, 16, and Jayden Federline, 15.

She was also briefly married to childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander in 2004, before getting an annulment. Alexander recently crashed her wedding to Sam and was arrested for trespassing.

So, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to call the police because you ran out of gas?  And she was sitting in some randos car while she waited?  What?

[beeyotch]

She's probably got an IQ under 100. And it happens (running out of gas), but it's not like you're regular people. You're 40, with no money worries, no 9-5 job pressures, no kids (in her custody), so the least you can do is pay attention to your gas tank and know to call your manager/fixer/trusted person instead of the police.

[MsDark]

I'm going to say it: She has NO business driving. Why the fuck is she driving herself? Period.

And on the LA Freeway? Yikes.

I'm not surprised at all that she did not think (and would not be shocked if she didn't know at all) to keep track of her gas.

I have a soft spot for Britney but not having the brains to fill your car with gas 😬

Anyone else notice the 'running out of gay' typo

what cracks me up is I was reading a popculture subreddit with this post and the delusionals there really had the audacity to say that Britney is actually a really good driver but she just gets flustered when the paps follow her

Hmm. So if the paparazzi flusters her to the point she is not able to drive...she should maybe not drive, then?     People...

I was also thinking that Britney's car must have a gas sensor that must have told her she was running low on gas. Some cars can tell you how many minutes of gas you have left, so was she ignoring it?

In Major Victory for Britney Spears, Judge Orders Jamie Spears to Be Deposed and Produce Surveillance Records

By Elizabeth Wagmeister

Britney Spears Tri Star Jamie Spears

Sipa USA USA

A judge ruled that Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, must sit for a deposition and produce all documents that are being requested by the pop star’s team. The judge ordered Spears’ father will be deposed within the next 30 days in Los Angeles.

Judge Brenda Penny ordered Spears’ father to produce all documents related to electronic surveillance. This move favors the singer, and indicates that the court believes it has reason to further inquire into shocking allegations that Jamie Spears had hired a security firm that put his daughter under surveillance throughout her conservatorship, with allegations of monitoring her phone and bugging her bedroom to record her private conversations.

Prior to the judge’s ruling on these motions, Jamie Spears’ attorney, Alex Weingarten, asked the judge to give his team access to documents from the singer’s team to help prepare for his client’s deposition.

“It’s a deposition. Not an ambush,” Weingarten said in the courtroom, before Judge Penny ruled against his request.

The hearing at the Los Angeles Superior Courthouse was heated with fiery debate among Weingarten and the pop star’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart.

Wednesday’s hearing marked a big victory for the singer, who has been fighting against her father in a continuous legal battle ever since her conservatorship was terminated last year.

Spears was put under a court-ordered conservatorship in 2008 by her father, who acted as her sole conservator for most of the 13 years. After more than a decade of fighting against the arrangement, Spears’ father was suspended by the court in September 2021, and the conservatorship was ultimately terminated in November 2021. Despite the singer’s newfound freedom, her legal team’s battle has remained messy with no resolution from either side.

Still on the table after Wednesday’s hearing is whether the singer will be deposed by her father’s team.

The judge nearly reached a decision on that matter, first giving a tentative order to deny Jamie Spears’ motion to depose his daughter, but then decided to continue the motion, asking the attorneys on both sides to present their arguments to the court on why the singer should or should not sit for a deposition, ahead of the July 27 hearing.

“You don’t sit down a victim for a deposition to be deposed by the victimizer,” Rosengart argued in the courtroom, telling the judge that sitting for a deposition would be “re-traumatizing” to the singer.

Last month, Weingarten filed documents on behalf of Jamie Spears, requesting to depose his daughter, in light of her social media posts. Rosengart blasted the request, calling it a “revenge” and “sham.”

In court on Wednesday, Weingarten said that having Spears sit for a deposition is par for the course, since she is a party in the case. Rosengart firmly disagreed, arguing that Spears’ father should have all the information he needs, given that he was the one who was running her conservatorship and making decisions about her life.

“Ms. Spears was in a conservatorship for 13 years that was run by her father,” Rosengart told the judge. “Mr. Spears is the individual who has documentation and first hand knowledge…Mr. Spears and the documentation serve as the evidence…Ms. Spears has no knowledge or documents,” Rosengart continued, telling the judge that she is the victim in this situation. “She’s not the accuser. She’s not the alleger,” he said. “Ms. Spears is not a plaintiff here. Ms. Spears is not a defendant here.”

Rosengart told the judge that his client’s father is only filing motions to “drive up fees,” instead of letting his daughter “move on with her life.”

“She is free, and Mr. Spears wants to suck her back into the conservatorship” for “improper, immoral reasons,” Rosengart said.

At one point, pleading with the judge to allow his team to depose the pop star, Weingarten said that “unfortunately” there are documents under seal and “court orders regarding” the electronic surveillance. “Based on what I know,” he said, “I suspect that Ms. Spears will be a treasure trove of information.”

Weingarten said that if the judge decides the singer does not have to sit for a deposition, her father will not have his “fair day in court.” The attorney said he is being held to a “different standard” than other parties in the case, based on “unproven allegations.”

“I appreciate that it’s en vogue to trash Jamie Spears,” Weingarten told the judge “But he has rights…In this country, you’re innocent until proven guilty.”

“You do not put a victim back in front of the victimizer. It’s the wrong thing to do,” Rosengart shot back. “That would be wrong, whether my client was Britney Spears or Jane Doe.”

“The mere deposition itself is harassment,” Rosengart told the judge.

Rosengart has been fighting against Jamie Spears and the singer’s former business manager, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, ever since he was retained by Spears in summer 2021. He has accused the company of “stonewalling” his attempts to obtain information for his client, refusing to cooperate and avoiding deposition. Spears’ legal team said they have been requesting to depose the elder Spears for nine months, and claimed he has evaded those requests. At Wednesday’s hearing, Judge Penny moved in favor of the star, agreeing that her father has failed to appear for his deposition.

Earlier this month, in bombshell court documents, Rosengart claimed that his client’s father and Tri Star were in cahoots to create the conservatorship and reap the benefits by taking millions of the superstar’s hard-earned money, rather than looking out for her best interest, which they deny. (Tri Star and its founder, Lou Taylor, served as the superstar’s business managers from 2008 through 2020, and the company was hired by Spears’ father around the time he placed her under a conservatorship.) Rosengart claimed that Tri Star was directly involved in creating the conservatorship and received at least $18 million throughout it.

Lawyers for Tri Star denied these claims, stating, “As all the evidence makes abundantly clear, the conservatorship was set up on the recommendation of legal counsel, not Tri Star, and approved by the Court for more than 12 years.”

Spears’ father and Tri Star have denied all claims of improper behavior, despite been the subject of damning accusations. While the surveillance allegations have largely focused on Spears’ father and Black Box, the security team he was alleged to have hired, Tri Star has been at the center of extensive claims of financial mismanagement.

A report in the New York Times alleged the star was under surveillance from a security team hired by her father and that Tri Star was involved in monitoring the singer’s phone. At the time, a lawyer for Tri Star told the Times, “These allegations are not true.” Earlier this month, Weingarten filed a sworn declaration from Jamie Spears, denying having any awareness of his adult daughter’s private bedroom being bugged or authorizing surveillance of the pop star. “I am informed of the allegation by Britney’s counsel that a listening device or ‘bug’ was placed her bedroom as surveillance during the Conservatorship,” the declaration stated. “This allegation is false.”

Weingarten did not speak to members of the media after the hearing on Wednesday, but outside of the courthouse, Rosengart told reporters that his client wants to simply “move on.”

“Mr. Spears, if he loves his daughter, as he professes he does, should leave her alone,” Rosengart told reporters, including Variety. “He should get on with his life, instead of continuing to litigate against his daughter.”

Now THAT is a good point. I didn't think on it because I drive a 2015 economy type vehicle. (which still has a warning light that is hard to ignore) But no doubt something she's driving has all the bells and whistles and better warning lights/sounds.

I think it's quite possible she has no idea how to pump her own gas. Or does not possess the intelligence/common sense to figure out on the fly where would be the closest place to tank up if she was out and suddenly discovered she was running on empty!

And does she even carry cash on her or a card she can use to tank up?  

[no1novice]

My car tells me when I have 50 miles left & also finds the petrol stations for me.

I was really handy when I was in part of the country that I hadn't been before.

But if she wants to be treated like a grown up she needs to start acting like one.

[firebrat1229]

The most appalling thing is that I'm certain she blamed everyone else but herself for it, as she always does. Like a child does. Never, ever her fault.

It all tracks. And her stans are as delusional and childish as she is.

That said, I wouldn't wish that garbage family on anyone and I'm certain they had a great deal to do with her issues today. It's clear she needs guidance and a handler of some kind, just not of the trashy-family variety.

It's really quite sad.

[trixie]

This just further illustrates how ill-equipped she is to handle normal, everyday things like making sure there's gas in the car. It wouldn't surprise me if she's never pumped gas in her life. When her brother said "she can't even make a dinner reservation" I thought he was being mean, but I bet it's the truth.

[MsDark]

Where there you go.

If she can't even make a dinner reservation, she has no business driving a car.

And really? No need to be. She's got enough dough to afford a driver.  

For that matter, can't her man drive her around?  It's not like he's working a 9-5.  You'd think it would be in his job description.  Or is he above this now that he's married?

Britney Spears Delivers An Acoustic Version Of “…Baby One More Time” On Instagram

July 16, 2022 / Posted by: Michael K40



A few days ago, Team Brit Brit got a win when a judge ordered that her father and ex-conservator, Jamie Spears, must answer to the allegations of thievery and spying against him during a deposition after he was dodging that shit like it was a pot of Velveeta-free grits. Britney Spears may have been in a mood to celebrate because she took to the Instagram stage to yodel out an acapella version of her biggest hit …Baby One More Time. While listening to it, my ears searched everywhere for a hint of auto-tune and found nothing. Brit Brit’s voice is barebacking it! And somewhere, auto-tune is lying in a puddle of sadness on the floor while texting T-Pain and will.i.am with, “U still love me, right?”





In the caption of Brit Brit’s IG post, which has two sangin’ videos in it, she writes that she was doing laundry when she was struck with the urge to yodel on the raw. So she gifted her fans with LowRegisterney with her acoustic version of ..Baby. She says that she’s been wanting to do a grown-up version of the song, which came out in 1998, for 14 years but the powers-that-be muzzled her. They wouldn’t let Britney do what she wanted with her own songs, and instead let her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, butcher one of her songs during a tribute to her at the 2017 Radio Disney Awards and that pissed her off (and it’s something she’s gotten into before).



Well I have asked for what I wanted for 14 years … a different version of “Baby” but have the producers actually work for me and put it together 🎵 … a start … but as the TEAM said NO and serves me with 4 girls, my sister included, doing a 5 minute version of 4 remixed songs 🎥 to a T not even having to give effort or dance 💃🏼 … just shot it beautifully and the sound was NEW !!! They ruined it for me, embarrassed me and made me feel like absolutely nothing🙄🙄🙄 !!! The truth is a fucking bitch !!! I share this because I am aware of my love and passion to sing … and my own family made a fool of me 😔 … I’m not going to be a victim !!!



Britney also had a note for those judging her natural singing voice.



Here is Brit Brit’s sultry slow jam version of ..Baby and the videos are haunting in many ways from her deep yodeling to the colored light bulb show in the background to the only white light coming from the laundry room to her making me reach for that Dramamine with all that swaying.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CgDRvTxMVRR

As Brit Brit says in her caption, her team fucking her over ruined her dreams of recording an updated ...Baby, but she also said last year that she’s working on new music. So maybe Britney has secretly slid into her edgy era and is recording darker versions of her own songs. Possibly Coming Soon: …Baby One More Time (Brit Brit’s Version).

Other than the yodeling and a few spots here and there, Britney sounds a lot better than I'd imagined. I remember her singing on Star Search or something, so I was aware she could sing, I just didn't know she could still sing.  I never really liked her music or her nasal autotune vocals, but maybe she should put out some acoustic songs or something.  A laid back studio album. 

[MsDark]

That manufactured babyish autotuned voice was nowhere near as good as her actual voice.
