Britney Spears Gets More Time with Children

Originally posted 05/06/2008 04:10PM

Britney Spears will get more time with her sons during visitation, a court ruled Tuesday.

"We are so pleased with Britney's progress, and we are appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress," Spears's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, said in statement after a hearing attended by the pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

It was not clear how much more time Spears was granted. Federline's attorney characterized the court order as "an expansion of time."

"It is a cautious step, but a step forward nonetheless," said lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. "We are seeing signs of [Britney's] progress, and consistency over time is something welcome by Kevin ... The children are doing great."

Britney Relaxes at Alicia Keys Concert in L.A.

Originally posted 05/06/2008 10:50AM

Britney Spears blew off a little pre-courtroom steam Monday at the Alicia Keys concert.

Expected to attend a Tuesday progress review hearing in Los Angeles family court with her ex, Kevin Federline, Spears decided to have a little fun first.

The singer arrived at the Staples Center at 8:30 p.m. with mom Lynne, her assistant, and two bodyguards and parked in an underground VIP parking lot to avoid photographers. There was no sign of sister Jamie Lynn Spears, who just celebrated her baby shower with her big sis in Kentwood, La., last weekend.

Spears – who according to one onlooker looked pretty and seemed psyched to be there – missed the opening act, Ne-Yo, but got there in time to clap when Keys took the stage and to get up and bop to the tunes.

Britney Spears & Kevin Federline's Hearing Begins

Originally posted 05/06/2008 06:15AM

Britney Spears was seen looking distraught during a break in the Los Angeles family court hearing with Kevin Federline on Tuesday – though later she smiled as she walked back to the courtroom with her mother.

The singer appeared red-eyed and holding her lawyer's hand as she left the courtroom during the first of two breaks at the hearing in the couple's ongoing custody battle.

Spears and her lawyers, as well as Federline and his attorney, convened to adjacent rooms outside of the courtroom during the break. "This has happened before and it's completely unpredictable," court spokesman Allan Parachini said of the recess. He added that there has been no testimony in Tuesday's hearing so far.

At the end of the break, Spears smiled and seemed in good spirits as she made her way back to the courtroom with her mom, Lynne.
