2008 – The conditions of Britney Spears’ child-custody case will stay the same after an emergency hearing took place Wednesday (January 23). In yet another strange development on the part of the singer, she made it to the courthouse — but somehow not the courtroom — for the hearing, which she had called.
“There is no change in the custody order that was in force since January 4, under which Miss Spears had no access,” Los Angeles Superior Court public-information director Allan Parachini told reporters outside the courthouse. “Mr. Federline, his lawyer [Mark Vincent Kaplan and Spears' lawyer Anne] Kiley was present. Miss Spears was not.”

Pop star Britney Spears did it again and got married for the second time this year — this time to dancer Kevin Federline in a low-key ceremony Saturday at a private home in Studio City, California, a record-label executive confirmed on Sunday.
“Yes, I can tell you the happy couple got married yesterday,” David Frostman of Jive Records, a British spokesman for Spears, told Reuters in London. Frostman declined to provide further details.
Spears, 22, and Federline, 26, surprised their parents with the unexpected ceremony which took place about 7:30 pm at the home of a tailor who had custom-made the tuxedos for the groom and other men in the wedding, according to a report on the Web site of Star magazine (www.starmagazine.com).
A publicist for the syndicated entertainment television show “Access Hollywood,” which also carried a report of the nuptials on its Web site (www.accesshollywood.com), said that show organizers were with Spears’ mother, Lynn, and her younger sister, Jamie Lynn on Saturday until 5 pm as they got ready for what they believed to be an “engagement dinner.”
“Jamie Lynn died her hair back to its original color of brown and told the show that she couldn’t wait to surprise her sister with the new look at the “dinner,” the report on the Access Hollywood Web site stated.
