Britney Spears is NOT expected at status hearing
Britney Spears is not required or expected to be at a status hearing in the conservatorship scheduled for Tuesday, said Liz Martinez of the Los Angeles Superior Court’s public affairs office on Friday. I am telling you due to rumors I’ve been hearing. Even if she were to be there, I wouldn’t trust the media to tell me what really happened. On Jan. 22, headlines buried the significance of a Spears appearance: it was only the second time in two years of being under a conservatorship by her father that she met with Commissioner Reva Goetz. Despite the rarity and possible import, headlines made Spears’ appearance into a publicity show of a charitable donations act, as though the sole purpose of her visit was to get permission from the commissioner...

Section 170.6 provides that no judge, commissioner or...
Opinion piece: recruiting v. journalism, service
I’m in my third semester of journalism and doing a story remote from Phoenix. That’s okay. I have years of experience working across the country from a single location as a technical recruiter, staffing manager and a director. The straw that broke the camel’s back there was the dot.com bust and a new found passion in dealing with some of the rarest of rare, software and IP network engineers: fascinating world. I could never go back to “corporate” after that and I could never work for any organization that didn’t do the best for their job candidates. That includes Google based on firsthand experience with them. A job candidate is a special person and their experiences with a company in the interview process affect not only themselves but family,...
Britney Spears’ ex-boyfriend reaches conditional settlement, averts trial in civil suit against him
A lawsuit against Adnan Ghalib, a former paparazzo and ex-boyfriend of Britney Spears, may be dismissed in spring due to a conditional settlement that was recently reached. “We conditionally settled the case. The case is not being dismissed until the settlement is fully performed,” says David S. Olson, attorney for plaintiff Ram Moskowitz. Moskowitz filed a complaint in April claiming that Ghalib slammed his Mercedes into him on Feb. 11 as he was trying to serve a temporary restraining order against him pertaining to Spears’ conservatorship, say court documents. Moskowitz sought attorneys’ fees and punitive and exemplary damages for assault, battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional stress and negligent infliction of...
Superior Court expects Britney Spears next Friday
Britney Spears is ordered to appear in court this coming Friday, Jan. 22, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. says Liz Martinez, a representative from the public affairs office at the Los Angeles Superior Court. Spears was expected in court today but her appearance was unexpectedly canceled. Tabloid site TMZ, the first to report the cancellation, says the commissioner and others were concerned about the media. Spears faces the beginning of her third year under the conservatorship of her person solely by her father effective Monday, Feb. 1. Her estate has been under a co-conservatorship of her father and privately retained attorney Andrew Wallet. Many across the blogosphere had thought she would freed once her Circus tour concluded as certain tabloids had promoted the idea...
Media omits lawyer and judge relationships between Britney and Jamie Spears, and Courtney Love Cobain
Hi, this is still a blog right? Happy holidays then. I wrote the following comment on Courtney Love Cobain’s Facebook wall. There had been some confusion there between her fans and those who follow Britney Spears. I thought about it later and realized that not all readers may know about the twist in the case of Courtney losing legal control over her daughter and later also receiving a temporary restraining order. Suffice. The lawyers involved in Courtney’s case are the same lawyers who work for Jamie Spears and the conservatorship. The judge is also the same as documents from TMZ reveal. On to the post: I have a few more minutes here and then I am going outside, but I thought to explain to those unfamiliar with Britney Spears’...
