Britney Spears is NOT expected at status hearing

Britney Spears made her second court appearance in two years in her conservatorship case on Jan. 22. It was her third court appearance since late 2007.

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.

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’conservatorship case who some of the players are. If you open the documents through the TMZ link posted two hours ago, you will see attorneys Geraldine Wyle, Jeryll S. Cohen, and the Hon. Reva Goetz.

Google any of those names plus Spears and conservatorship and you are sure to find them in connection. Wyle and Cohen both work for Jamie Spears and I believe they were involved from the beginning of the conservatorship in Feb. 2008.

TMZ knows that as does the AP and any other news organization that covers courtroom news or celebrity gossip but none of them are saying it. TMZ only shows the document that is six pages but they do not help readers make the connection back to Jamie Spears and the conservatorship. One clearly also sees the Hon. Reva Goetz. She’s the one who ruled on Feb. 4, 2008 that based on the court appointed attorney’s meeting with Britney at UCLA that she did not understand legal proceedings and lacked capacity to hire her own lawyer. A simple search of journalist Linda Deutsch and capacity should bring up all that drama that also involved Adam Streisand who is now working with the Jackson family. … See More

I do believe that the connection between Courtney Love Cobain and Jamie Spears is fascinating and that it was irresponsible for the media to omit it (hide? conceal?) and distract us instead with tales of clothing designers and lawsuits based on Twitter. And. That they continue to. I don’t know if Courtney will keep any of this info up but hopefully at least some of you will see what is happening and be less confused. Happy holidays.

Author’s note: I posted this and other information more specific to Courtney’s case and media treatment on her Facebook account, if interested. She is listed under Courtney Love Cobain and if you follow her as a fan you may learn more of her story and how strangely it is connected back to Britney Spears. For those who don’t know, Courtney claimed over the Thanksgiving holiday that Jamie molested his daughter.

Lou Taylor, a Spears’family spokesperson has not directly refuted the claim. Instead she was quoted by the New York Daily News as saying, “”We’re not commenting on Courtney Love, or any aliens who might come to Earth to impregnate people.”

Courtney responded, after seeing the story on her Facebook account, “I went to Sting and Trudys “Twin Spirits” wonderful Schullman letters event and sat with my dearest friend Stipe (Michael) tonight, not that the names matter, but I didn’t see ONE alien impregnating ANYONE!” (some punctuation added by Fair News Spears.)

Update: More of Love Cobain’s side of the story. Like Britney and the imposed conservatorship no prior notice was given to Courtney Love as Wyle took action to remove her daughter from her life. http://www.spinner.com/2009/12/22/courtney-love-planned-christmas-for-daughter-before-custody-hear/

Author Steve Dennis speaks without interruption ‘Britney: Inside the Dream’

Steve Dennis speaks via an email interview about his book, “Britney: Inside the Dream.” Dennis takes both Fair News Spears questions and to those of a bona fide Britney Spears fan who wishes anonymity.

Dennis is the recognized ghostwriter for Paul Burrell who published two books from his life of service to the Queen of England and to the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

You have a number of unnamed sources in your book. What was the most common reason people didn’t want to use their name?

Some sources are named, some not. Some people cannot be seen to be co-operating but they wanted to assist a compassionate and true portrait of Britney. I think there is a perception that if one co-operates with a biographer, it amounts to betrayal. Within that perception, people seek anonymity. Besides, it’s the information that counts, not the names. The phrase “a source said” has been devalued, I think, in journalism over the years but the authenticity of a source’s contribution can be found within the detail and insight.

Journalist writes grit article, no ho-hum Britney

Kudos to Canadian journalist Joanne Chianello who either ignored a Britney the Brand press release for the upcoming Circus performance or didn’t receive one.

Chianello is a journalist for the Ottawa Citizen where she reminds people today that Spears is under a conservatorship, and while many fans are happy she is on tour and buying tickets, some are disappointed.

‘What they are disappointed about, is Spears’lack of personal connection with the audience, something the singer has always been famous for. In the Citizen review of Spears’1999 concert, she was thought to have “an endearing personality,” and chatted up the crowd. This time around, audiences are lucky if she gives them a “What’s up (insert city name here)?”‘ says the journalist.
