K-Fed Awarded Sole Custody

Obviously, Britney Spears' visitation rights have been "suspended pending further order of the court," L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon said late Friday.

The order is in effect until January 14.

There will then be a hearing to determine where the case goes.

The decision comes after Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan called for an emergency hearing in the ongoing custody battle this morning — hours after Spears was rushed to the hospital.

After the 40-minute hearing Friday, Kaplan told reporters, "there are no winners here," adding that he was "not happy about any of the events that have happened."

No Celebs at The Golden Globes

The good news about the Golden Globes is that NBC announced on Friday that, despite the ongoing Hollywood writers strike, next Sunday's awards broadcast will go on.
The bad news: It appears no celebrities will be attending.
"We are prepared to move forward with the telecast on Jan. 13," NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said in a statement. But the network's revelation came on the same day that the Screen Actors Guild announced that its members -- including a star-studded Globes nominee list that include stars such as Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and Keira Knightley -- had indicated they will show support for the union writers by boycotting the show.
SAG president Alan Rosenberg said in a statement, "There appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross" picket lines to present or accept an award.
The Writers Guild of America previously refused to grant a waiver to allow its members to work on the Golden Globes, the People's Choice Awards and the Academy Awards.
Last month, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, nominated for Best Supporting Performance in a Drama Series, announced she wouldn't attend the Globes if there was a strike.
"I'm not crossing the picket line unless I'm contractually obliged to do so," she said.

Lynn Spears Speaks

Access Hollywood is reporting that Britney Spears’ mother Lynne is in tears over Britney being rushed to the hospital.

According to their site, she was "extremely distraught, crying on the phone" when contacted by their staff.

“Just say prayers,” Lynne said.

Britney is currently on a 72-hour lockdown at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai hospital. She has been labeled a "special needs" patient, a hospital source tells SCN.

Inside Britney's Breakdown

New details are emerging about the scary night that Britney Spears took one of her children hostage!

According to new reports, it was the court-appointed monitor that called police when Unfitney began behaving erratically on Thursday.

"She had already put Preston in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden," a source tells People. "The cops came and got through the door and tied her down to a gurney."
LAPD called the incident an "ongoing investigation."

Sean Preston was taken to the hospital by Federline's assistant, and Jayden James was in the ambulance with the monitor, a source says, adding that the boys "won't be back with [Spears] for a long time."

By all accounts, Britney suffered a severe mental breakdown last night.

“They had to strap her down like a mental patient and she was going between laughing and hysterics,” a source tells Us Weekly, calling it “a total psychotic breakdown. She just went crazy."

Another Spears pal says: "I guess she has good days and bad days - it's mental instability. All she has is to think of something sad and she goes crazy.”
Britney's dad, Jamie, remains at the hospital.

BREAKING NEWS:Cops Called To Britney's House

Britney Spears is defying court-mandated custody hours by refusing to turn over her sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline's bodyguard.

The pop star was due to turn over Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, at 7 p.m. PST. Federline's bodyguard arrived at her home to pick them up, but Spears would not budge. She has been with the kids since noon Thursday.

Ninety minutes later, police arrived.

"There have been police sent to that residence," a LAPD officer tells Us Magazine. "We don't know any more at this time, but apparently they've arrived."

Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was seen leaving Spears' home around 9 p.m.
Spears' attorney, Sorrell Trope, tells Us, "In a normal case when someone shows up with a certified court order saying the kids need to be somewhere else, the police see to it that the order is obeyed. But that is in a normal case."

Spears had shown up for a custody deposition Thursday afternoon (after skipping two depositions in the past month) but left after about 45 minutes.

"She was cooperative," Kaplan said. "There has been no change in anything. It will be continued to another date, which I will not say at this time."

It's Offical:Pam and Rick Are Over

Off, on, and now off – again.

SCN has learned that Pamela Anderson had divorce papers personally served to Rick Salomon on Dec. 28.

The papers were served two weeks after Anderson first filed for divorce from Salomon, a decision she rescinded just a few hours later with a blog post that they were "working things out."

Seen alone on New Year's Eve, Anderson recently blogged on her site: "2007 was an interesting year for me. What's the definition of insanity? This is the year I do everything I wanted to do – my way... I'm going to be proud of every single day – and make sure I do not veer from the path."

Lindsay Breaks Sobriety

Lindsay Lohan broke her sobriety on New Year’s Eve, but is “back on track,” her lawyer, Blair Berk, tells SCN.

The actress, 21, was caught on video drinking champagne directly from the bottle shortly at a bash during the 12th Annual Capri Hollywood Film Festival in Italy, December 31. The video first appeared on TMZ.

In a statement obtained by Us Magazine, Berk says: "After being handed a champagne bottle while on a dance floor in Italy on New Year's Eve and drinking from it, the good news is that Lindsay immediately stopped, called her sponsor, and got herself back on track.

"There is no magic cure here. Unfortunately, Lindsay has to share her 'one day at a time' with the entire world."

Brit FINALLY Shows for Depo

Britney Spears, 26, arrived at the Century City, California, office of Mark Vincent Kaplan — Kevin Federline’s counsel — in her white Mercedes SL65 to give a deposition in her ongoing custody battle with ex Kevin Federline Thursday.

She wore a sleeveless red dress with an open back, sunglasses and had her hair pulled in a pony tail. She didn't say anything as she entered the building.
She left after about 45 minutes and headed to her Beverly Hills home.

She had skipped two scheduled depositions in the past month alone: one yesterday, as TMZ first reported, and another on December 12. Pal Sam Lutfi said she got anxious.
(Also on the schedule to face Kaplan this month? Spears’ former bodyguards Anthony “Fat Tony” Barretto, who claimed in October that the pop singer has “mental problems,” and Lonnie Jones, who sued her for non-payment.)

Spears’ legal troubles are mounting.
Yesterday, her high-powered L.A. attorney Sorrell Trope filed papers asking the court for permission to be relieved from representing the troubled star. The motion stated: “There has been a breakdown in communications" between his firm and Spears "making further representation of her interests impossible.”

It’s her third lawyer to resign since September.

“It’s not a surprise Trope left…[his firm] couldn’t reign her in,” a source close to the case told Us Magazine. “No one can, and it’s an embarrassment in front of the judge.

“It’s going to be nearly impossible for her to get custody now with this track record,” the source added.

Spears also still faces criminal charges for driving without a valid license. Yesterday, a hearing regarding this matter was postponed until January 25.

“Both sides are trying to work out an agreement,” Spears’ criminal lawyer, J. Michael Flanagan, told reporters.

Is Heidi Ready to Apologize?

Under the subject “Happy New Year” on her MySpace page, The Hills star Heidi Montag implied Tuesday that she is ready to put her feud with Lauren Conrad behind her this year.

“I just hope everyone is starting 2008 with a fresh clean slate like i am...the past is the past...and it is time for people to move on from negative influences in their lives and be more positive! I know at least i am going to try as hard as possible even when people don't deserve kindness...i am still going to give them kindness! Also people should try not to judge other people in 2008!”
She also vowed “to stay way more in-touch with my myspace [sic] friends that are so loving and supportive. I will be trying to answer all my messages this year and respond to all questions!”

She did not mention Spencer Pratt, with whom she recently called off her engagement and shared a year of high and lows.

Before signing off, she wished all her friends, "a healthy, safe, loving, amazing, blessed New Year!”

Guess Who!

Guess who Paris is makin' out with... Brody Jenner! The two were spotted at LAX on Saturday night gettin' real cozy. I wonder what Lauren would think... oh wait, she doesn't care because SCN cameras caught up with the MTV star at Les Deux Saturday night makin' out with her old bestfriend/boyfriend, Stephen Colletti.

Just Married

Jimmy Fallon and producer Nancy Juvonen got married on Saturday.

The pair tied the knot on Necker Island in the Caribbean.

Nicole Kidman is Pregnant

Nicole Kidman is pregnant, according to The Daily Mail.

The Golden Compass actress, 40, told friends and family over the Christmas holiday that she and husband Keith Urban, 40, are expecting, the UK newspaper reported.

Kidman and the country singer have been married since June 2006. There are no details on when the baby is due.

She has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise – Isabella, 15, and Connor, 12 – but their relationship is strained. "They call me Mom," Cruise's new wife, Katie Holmes, said recently.
Kidman has talked openly about wanting another baby. "I'm yearning to have one," she told Vanity Fair in September. "I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby. Keith knows I want one, and he has been getting there slowly."

In an interview in February on Oprah's Oscar Special, Russell Crowe asked the actress if she planned on getting pregnant. "I hope so," she replied.

When Crowe remarked that he'd like to see Kidman "walking around barefoot and pregnant," the actress agreed – "I'd like to see that, too."

Kidman told Vogue last year: "I always thought I'd eventually live on a Fijian island. I love the idea of being in a sarong, with hair down to my bum and kids following my around and hanging out."

After her split from Cruise in 2001, Kidman admitted she'd suffered an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in miscarriage at one point in their 10-year marriage. "From the minute Tom and I were married, I wanted to have babies. And we lost a baby early on, so that was really very traumatic," she told Vanity Fair.

Three months into their marriage, Urban checked himself into the Betty Ford clinic for three months to treat alcohol addiction. "We had to dig really deep," Kidman has said.

Kidman begins an eight-week shoot for The Reader in Berlin next month, but after that has no movie projects lined up, the Daily Mail reported.
