Icelandic star says Britney can hide out at her place
Could the most bizarre friendship be developing in Celebsville?
Eccentric singer Bjork has sent Britney Spears her diaries to help the troubled star deal with the pressures of fame and motherhood.
Bjork, 41, has written to the mother-of-two because she went through similar low times when she was living in the UK.
She kept a journal of her troubles and how she overcame them.
And now the Icelandic pop-star hopes her experiences will help Britney, 25, overcome her problems. ‘I feel so sorry for her,’ says Bjork. ‘I have sent some of my thoughts that I wrote down when I was going through similar stuff.’
Generous Bjork has also offered the pop princess the use of her home in Iceland as a retreat.
‘I was able to move away, but she can’t,’ she tells the Daily Star. ‘But she can always stay in Iceland at my place.’

A source close to Britney gave some shocking news – Britney’s visit to her attorney’s office yesterday may have been part of Spears’ research into filing a restraining order against her own mother, to keep Grandma away from Jayden and Sean!
Britney and Lynne’s relationship soured when Brit was forced into rehab by her family and management (according to Brit herself) and when it appeared that Lynne was taking Kevin’s side in the custody battle involving her own daughter and her daughter’s estranged husband.
Then reports had the mother and daughter reconciling last month and we did catch Brit’s mom and her daughter’s Bel Air home, but Britney was mum on mom the following day when we asked if she was happy to see her mom again. We haven’t seen the two together since then and now our source is telling us there are some very deep problems between the two. Apparently Britney feels the situation is serious enough to file a restraining order against her own mother to keep her mom away from her two sons, according to our source.

Brit has a new perfume in the works, and she’s hoping to start promoting it soon (maybe in conjunction with the release of her new album). But it will be hard to promote the product if she keeps walking away from commercial shoots.
“There was a shoot last week in L.A. for a new perfume she’s coming out with and something happened,” said an insider. Whatever the incident was, she walked off the lot and refused to finish the shoot.
“She is not listening to anyone and doing exactly what she wants. But sometimes she doesn’t know best,” reported the source. Evidence of that can be seen in some of the other poor decisions she’s made recently.
Regardless, Brit has a new album in the final stages of production, and it’s supposed to be huge. “Four definite hits on the next album. It’s amazing,” the source said.

Britney Spears is threatening legal action against a Florida radio station that used a bald-headed photo of the pop star on billboards that appear to call her sanity into question. In a June 14 letter to Clear Channel Communications lawyer Donna Schneider, Spears’s counsel claims that the billboards promoting the MJ Morning Show were “outrageous to the extreme” and demanded their removal. A copy of the Spears legal letter can be found below. The three outdoor advertisements, which are reproduced at right, pair a paparazzi photo of a bald, snarling Spears with a picture of WFLZ morning show host Todd Schnitt (who uses the air name MJ Kelli). They are headlined, “Total Nut Jobs,” “Shock Therapy,” and “Certifiable.” According to the star’s lawyer, Spears’s “likeness has a multi-million-dollar value for authorized commercial exploitations” and, as a result, she is entitled to “very substantial damages” from Clear Channel. The MJ Morning Show airs on several stations across Florida. The Spears billboards, which first appeared in April, advertised the program in Tampa, Jacksonville, and Clearwater.

Britney Spears caused chaos in Santa Monica, California yesterday in what appeared to be a desperate attempt to get a little paparazzi attention. Photographers camped outside celebrity hotspot the Casa Del Mar hotel, hoping for the chance to shoot Britney’s one-time pop rival Mandy Moore – who was conducting press interviews inside, were stunned when the singer slowly drove by.
One bystander says, “It seemed obvious that Britney wanted to get noticed and photographed – why else would you show up at one of California’s paparazzi hang-outs. She drove really slowly and doubled back on herself to make sure that everyone who wanted to get a shot, got a shot.” But Britney’s afternoon out turned ugly when her security guard, who was with her for the drive, had to fight off one snapper who got too close to his charge.
The onlooker says, “Britney had to make a run for it in the end. She and her bodyguard ended up hanging out by the hotel pool – in full view of everyone.”

UBritney.com: J.R. Rotem is featured in the brand new issue of ‘Blender’ magazine, which features The White Stripes on the cover. Inside the magazine, J.R. makes sure to get in his fair share of Britney-bashing, and then back-tracking! Here is how the article reads:
“I fucked Britney wheelbarrow style.” Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem is holding court at his Beluga Heights studio in West Hollywood, California. The music producer is wearing enormous silver Elvis sunglasses and a diamond-encrusted keyboard around his neck; his hair glistens like a bird in an oil spill. To the audience clustered around his couch – his manager Zach Katz, two cameramen filming a reality-show pilot, Denaun Porter of hip-hop group D12 – Rotem offers a series of impromptu non sequiturs: “I have a fear of germs”; “I don’t invest in real estate, I invest in jewelry”; “I’m a Leo, a lion”; “I’ve seen Zoolander 100 times”; and, finally, “I fucked Britney wheelbarrow style. Just kidding.” He waits a beat. “It was tractor style.” You may recall Rotem’s name and/or hair from the gossip blogs. Back in December, five weeks after Spears sent Kevin Federline packing from Malibu to the Valley, sandwiched somewhere in the midst of her cataclysmic mental mudslide – between paparazzi shots of her bald beaver and her nude noggin – grainy footage appeared of the postpartum pop star climbing onto Rotem’s lap, cigarette in hand, leaning in for a kiss. They had been working together on her next record and capped the night with the Cameron Diaz chick flick The Holiday – and some curbside canoodling. Back at Beluga Heights, Rotem’s old friend Porter presses him for salacious details about that night. “How did you do that?” the rapper asks, slapping his thigh in disbelief. “I heard she’s on the wild side. Is that true?” The cameramen exchange excited glances. Whether out of respect for Spears or concern for his career, Rotem clams up. His right foot twitches; his knuckles whiten on the arm of the leather couch. An awkward silence creeps in. “We were working in the studio together,” Rotem replies flatly, trying to bring the conversation to a halt. He ventures something about a sampling machine. But Porter just ignores him: “You are a hound dog!” he shouts. “I remember when he get no pussy. Now he gettin all kind of pussy.”
Later in the article, after mentioning how the shots of him making out with Britney got him bounced from K-Fed’s MySpace Friend’s List, the Britney talk picks up again:
He talks about promiscuity (“I don’t have one-night stands”) and, finally, what really happened with Britney Spears. “Britney and I were in a relationship,” he says quietly. “We were dating for about two weeks but decided for both our careers that it wouldn’t be cool to have a romantic relationship. She was really emotional and distressed at the time.” Rotem says he doesn’t regret what happened, or his overnight notoriety; he knows it’s good for business. But whatever anyone thinks of him, he insists he always tries to do the right thing. “There are definitely times when I’m an arrogant, vain asshole. But the bigger part is sensitive, good-hearted. People who just see me in front of the paparazzi acting like a jackass have no clue who I am.” And with that, Rotem texts Paris [Hilton] to see where she’s gone off to.

Though the rift between Lynne and Britney Spears had been growing for quite some time, it was Lynne’s relationship with Kevin Federline’s first ex, Shar Jackson, that pushed things over the edge. While Britney, 25, was at Promises Treatment Center following her dramatic head-shaving incident, Lynne was getting to know “the other woman.”
It all started when Lynne dropped grandsons Sean, 21 months, and Jayden, 9 months, at father Federline’s house. Shar, 30, who also has two children with Federline, 29, was there as well, and ended up watching Spears’ sons. After meeting, Lynne and Shar “started talking all the time,” a Jackson source tells Us. Spears was enraged. “She decided she had to cut out everyone who was using her, and that included her parents,” says a source.
Jackson confirmed the friendship for Us yesterday, saying, Lynne is “a really nice lady… It was easy for us to get along once we met.” She also thinks it’s time for Lynne and Brit to “work it out. They are mother and daughter. They need to talk already.”

“Extra” can reveal that after not speaking for months, Brit started re-bonding with mom Lynn over lunch in Beverly Hills this weekend.
And now Lynne is speaking out!
Proud that Britney’s got her priorities back in order, Momma Spears told Us Weekly, “I can see Britney’s life picking up, and it’s just going to hold great things for her. Everything is going to be really good.”
Ian Drew, Us Weekly’s editor, shed a little light on what caused their relationship to so famously fizzle out.
“Britney’s the one who decided to pull the plug on the relationship,” he revealed.
Drew said it all went downhill because Brit felt Lynne forced her into rehab back in February.
“Britney feels that her parents turned on her,” Drew explained. “When they sided with Kevin Federline, her ex-husband, and took her children away, making her go to rehab, she felt complete turned on.”
Britney’s mom said that scenes like last night – where Britney showed a little more than she should have to waiting paparazzi – are just all part of growing up.
“It’s sad that the whole world had to watch her make mistakes that all of us have made at one time or another,” Lynne said.
Speaking of mistakes…
“Extra” has learned the truth about reports that Britney is thinking about getting back together with ex-hubby and baby-daddy K-Fed.
Federline’s people tell us that a Britney, who once reportedly told Kevin that he was her “biggest mistake,” is not getting back together with him.
“Not true,” K-Fed’s rep said of the rumors.

T-Pain has written two songs for the next album to be released by Britney Spears. Problem is, he says, he has no idea when it will ever be released. “It depends when she gets her shit together,” he says with a laugh, speaking to andPOP.
One of the tracks, Code of Fire, would be the possible first single, he says.

TOB: There are rumors that Britney had a secret meeting in LA to meet with her mom, Lynne Spears to end their feud. Apparently, she has decided to forgive her family for “forcing her into a hell called rehab” after meeting with them at a Bel Air mansion. Her mom was accompanied by Jamie Lynn and her boyfriend.
Splash-Video.com: Britney in her black Mercedes arrived first escorted by her bodyguards and Britney’s mother hiding in the back of the car followed 20 minutes later and all parties departed the gated estate approximately 1 hour later looking in good spirits. Things have been extremely strained between Britney and her mother so bad in fact that according to rumor she refused to see her mother on Mothers Day even though Lynne was sick with pneumonia. After recovering Lynne had been scheduled for what was believed to be a tell all about her famous daughter on the television show The View but at the last minute pulled the pin.
