Britney Opens Up About Her Dating Disasters

It's all work and no play for Britney Spears as she prepares for the release of her new album, Circus.

"I feel like an old person now," she says in Rolling Stone's next issue, out Friday. "I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don't go out or anything."

And when she does find time to go on a date, Spears says the experience makes her wish she had just stayed home.

"Right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad," Spears tells Rolling Stone of one recent bad date. "He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier. … So I had to get dessert first.

"And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older. … We're trying to ask him questions, like, 'OK, you're into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?' And he was like, 'Oh, all kinds.' "

Kevin Federline has no plans to ask a family court to investigate his son's weekend health scare while in ex-wife Britney Spears's care, his lawyer says.

"We're not going to jump to conclusions right now," attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan tells E!. "I don't anticipate there being a hearing. I anticipate that Kevin and Britney as concerned parents will exchange information and satisfy themselves that what happened was a freak occurrence and do what they have to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again."

Jayden, 2, was hospitalized overnight on Sunday in McComb, Miss., after suffering a "terrible allergic reaction" to something he ingested, a source close to the Spears family tells PEOPLE.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's custody settlement was signed Friday by a judge, officially ending their nearly two-year custody battle.

"She's thrilled," the pop star's attorney Laura Wasser told PEOPLE. "To have more time with her kids has been her motivation to get well. In light of her outstanding conservatorship, she couldn't have asked for anything more."
