Britney Spears' ex Kevin Federline was spotted at a nightclub in Las Vegas over the weekend. K-Fed, who's been staying under the radar recently, finally came out of his hidey-hole to party in the city of secrets while his children stayed at home with a nanny.
K-Fed left his Mirage hotel room around midnight and partied at club Revolution until 3 in the morning, according to a published report.

Now 'Antichrist' Britney tries to hang herself
Britney Spears at the Promises clinic checked herself into last month, has been put on a ‘suicide watch’, after the singer reportedly tried to hang herself with a bed sheet.
Britney had friends and family worried sick when paramedics were rushed to the clinic recently, and now a friend has revealed that medics were called because she tried to commit suicide.
Just before she tried to hang herself, the pal said, Britney wrote 666 on her shaved head, and ran around the clinic screaming "I am the Antichrist!"
"She is still very vulnerable. Last Saturday she said she had the number 666 written onto her bald head. She was crying, and shouting, ‘I am the Antichrist!' The clinic people just didn't know what to do. Then she started screaming, ‘I'm a fake! I'm a fake!' It must have been really frightening," the News of the World quoted the pal, as saying.
"Later that night she tried to kill herself. She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt," the pal added.
A source at the clinic also revealed to the paper that Britney had realized what a ‘rock’ her estranged hubby was, and that she not only wanted them to get back together, but also to have another baby.
"Britney has realized what a rock Kevin has been to her, and how out of control she has acted recently. She has been talking to Kevin every night for hours on the phone, telling him she still loves him. She just wants to be with him again, and thinks having another baby will seal their marriage," the source said.
The source insisted that the singer was also much happier and calmer than she was at the time she checked herself into the clinic.
"Britney seems much happier and has calmed down a lot. She's a completely different Britney from the beginning of the week," the source said.
Another source close to Britney said that the singer was now thinking about renewing her vows with K-Fed.
"Kevin has been a real tower of strength for her and she has finally decided to give their marriage another shot. She thought things were over between her and Kevin after his wild partying and gambling," the source said.
"She felt he had deserted her and left her to bring up their two children on her own. She never even dreamed she would take him back. But Kevin's like a different man now. He's never been so caring before, and is really worried about Britney.
"He's been Britney's rock during her difficult time, and she wants to give him another chance. This week she even asked if she could have a night away from the Promises Clinic with Kevin. She's still waiting to hear if they will give her a pass so that they can go out for a romantic meal together.
"Kevin has also taken their two little boys to see their mum in rehab," the source added.
Much to the dismay of her family, friends and fans, the singer’s life has been spiraling out of control ever since she dumped Federline last year.
Since then, she has been indulging in wild and boozy parties, been snapped without panties, and the latest shaving of her head and getting tattooed.
The singer also hopped in and out of rehab before seeking help for a third time when Federline threatened to take away their sons if she didn’t get professional help.

Britney "Doing Great"
Britney Spears is "doing great" in rehab according to ex-patient and Hollywood star, Daniel Baldwin.
The actor told US Weekly mag that he offered Britters his support when he bumped into her as he was leaving the centre, following his own treatment for drug addiction.
The actor said, "She seemed a little fearful", but added, "she knows she needs some help."
He also gave the shaven-headed popstar his phone number so she could keep in touch - and offered these words of wisdom: "Don’t drink, don’t use." Well duh!
Just staying put in the centre would be an achievement for Britney after being in, out, in, and out of Promises rehab clinic last week.

Medics rush for Britney's in rehab
Britney Spears had her kith and kin worried sick when paramedics were rushed to the rehab center to treat her.
The troubled singer, who entered the Promises clinic in Malibu on Thursday, Feb 22, is receiving intensive treatment for alcohol abuse.
What had fans worried was that minutes after the paramedics arrived, Britney’s mom Lynne as well as her estranged hubby Kevin Federline and their two kids Sean Preston and Jayden James also landed at the clinic.
Officials confirmed that Spears was examined by paramedics after a call by worried staff on Saturday night.
"She is going to be OK," the Mirror quoted a Malibu sheriff at the scene, as saying.
"Police said staff were concerned about Britney - but they didn't say why. Her mother looked very worried," a witness said.
Much to the dismay of her family, friends and fans, the singer’s life has been spiraling out of control ever since she dumped Federline last year.
Since then, she has been indulging in wild and boozy parties, been snapped without panties, and the latest shaving of her head and getting tattooed.
Her wild behavior not only has people speculating that she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but has also resulted in the loss of popularity that she enjoyed in the 90s, as well as the shutdown of her biggest fan site.
Her manager, Larry Rudolph, has in the meantime rubbished reports that the singer is on a “suicide watch” in the clinic, after she reportedly tried to take her own life.

Kevin Federline brings kids to visit Britney Spear in rehab
Britney Spears' estranged husband, Kevin Federline, has taken their two young children to visit the troubled star in rehab. A source close to the couple told People: "The kids are his number one priority and they always have been. He's so stressed out right now. He only wants the best for Britney and the kids."
Apparently, the rehabilitation centre she is in is more like a five star hotel, with gourmet meals, massages, and excellent views of Malibu's finest beaches. Promises Residential Treatment Centre is set to be Britneys home for the next month if she wishes to resurrect her career and family relationships.

Britney's back in rehab after custody fears
Britney Spears has gone back into rehab for a third time amid reports estranged husband Kevin Federline promised to fight for custody of their children if she did not return.
Yesterday, the fallen pop princess checked herself out of the Promises rehab facility in Malibu after less than 24 hours.
It was reported she had heard K-Fed has taken their children - Sean Preston, 17 months, and five-month-old Jayden James - from her mother and was seeking an emergency court hearing to claim custody.
Brit left Promises for a doorstep showdown with Kevin, attacking a nearby photographer with an umbrella.
The court hearing was cancelled when Britney returned to Promises to finish her treatment.
But it is though Kevin will fight for permanent custody of the children if Brit doesn't complete her programme, rumoured to last around 40 days.
Last week Britney managed to last just 24 hours in Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehab facility in Antigua, before prompting speculation that she may be on the verge of a nervous breakdown by walking into a hair salon and shaving off her own hair.

Britney back in rehab for the third time!
Britney went into rehab today for the third time within in a week. The pop tart was reportedly coerced to return and complete her treatment by her estranged husband Kevin Federline.
Federline, who had requested an emergency court hearing today in connection with his child custody dispute with Britney has cancelled his request, according to TMZ which broke the story.
Federline is reportedly concerned for Spears and wants her to get help. He has given Britney a final chance. If Britney leaves rehab before her treatment is complete (30-45 days) Federline intends to go to court immediately and seek full custody of their children.
The children are currently reported to be in the custody of Federline, and have been since last week.
As reported earlier, Britney had visited Federline's house in San Fernando Valley last night but returned without meeting him because she did not receive a response to her buzzes on the intercom.

Justin Timberlake loves Britney's shaved head
The 'SexyBack' singer admits he was surprised by his ex-girlfriend's decision to cut her locks but thinks she can pull off the drastic look.
He is quoted by MTV as saying: "It was a smart choice, she is starting over, cleaning herself up. It was something you wouldn't expect most people to do, so she is taking a chance."
Justin and Britney became friends when they starred together as children on the 'New Mickey Mouse Club' TV show.
They dated for several years before splitting in March 2002, amid speculation Britney had cheated on Justin.
On Tuesday night (20.02.07) Britney checked herself into rehab.
The 25-year-old singer admitted herself into California's Promises Malibu Treatment Center following concerns over her erratic behavior.
Her manager Larry Rudolph confirmed: "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into a rehab facility. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."
Rudolph did not disclose what Britney was being treated for. US reports claim the 'Toxic' singer has allegedly taken cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs.

Britney checks into rehab facility
A screaming match with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, left Britney Spears reeling - and, after a public breakdown, running for rehab, sources said Tuesday.
As a fitting finale to a series of strange events that led Spears to shave off all her hair last weekend, Spears entered a prominent Malibu, Calif., treatment center Monday night.
"Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today," her manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement. "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."
Photos confirm Spears has checked into the posh seaside celebrity haven Promises. She was spotted strolling the lush grounds Tuesday in a hot-pink tank top and pants that appeared to still have the sizing sticker attached.
Spears had removed her ill-fitting blond wig and was photographed scowling and smoking a cigarette.
Rudolph said Tuesday that the decision for treatment was Spears'. In a call to E! News' Ryan Seacrest, Rudolph said he had just spoken to Spears and that she told him all she wants is time to rest, to get better and focus on her recovery.
According to OK! magazine, it was a blowout with Federline that sent Spears reeling over the edge.
"They had a huge argument," a source told the magazine. "Kevin threatened Britney that he was going to have people test her hair to find out exactly what she's been up to. She was so scared. That was what made her have her head shaved."
Testing her hair could determine whether she had been abusing illegal drugs, which could be used against her in the looming battle for custody of their two young children.
Spears' friends say the detoxing diva was bowing to pressure from Federline, friends, family and Rudolph, who pleaded with her to return to rehab.
A typical stay at the resort-like center, tucked in the Santa Monica mountains, is around 45 days. Patients often share a room, attend group and individualized therapy sessions and do chores. Estimated costs for a stint at the plush facility is between $40,000 and $60,000.
On Monday, Richard Rogg, founder and CEO of Promises, said Spears' original short-lived visit to the Crossroads rehab facility in Antigua last weekend was an act of desperation.
"It usually happens when someone is coerced into being there, or they're so drunk and loaded that they come into treatment - wake up, and they're gone," said Rogg.
Promises boasts a who's-who of Hollywood alumni, including Ben Affleck, Robert Downey Jr., Matthew Perry, Charlie Sheen and Diana Ross.
As Spears strolled the center's grounds, a fleet of paparazzi was flying overhead in helicopters with the doors removed, hovering over the facility to snap lucrative shots of the recovery-seeking songstress.

Britney Spear on the brink
Britney Spears has sparked fears she is on the verge of a breakdown after shaving her head.
The 25-year-old singer - who is said to be terrified of losing her children in a custody battle with estranged husband Kevin Federline - was seen crying in her limousine before entering Esther's Haircutting Salon in Tarazana, California, on Friday (16.02.07).
After hairdressers refused to shave her head, Britney grabbed a pair of clippers and sheared off her locks herself.
Salon owner Esther Tognozzi said: "I tried to talk her out of it, but she said, 'No, I absolutely want it shaved off now.'
"Afterwards she looked in the mirror and said with tears in her eyes, 'Oh, my God, I shaved it all off. My mom is going to be so upset with me.'
"I asked her if the buzz cut was a symbol of a new beginning and she said, 'Yeah, something like that.' "
An hour later Britney went to the Body and Soul Tattoo parlour and had pink lips etched onto her wrist and a black, pink and white cross on her lower hip.
One onlooker revealed: "She said she was tired of having things plugged into her. She seemed distraught and disturbed, like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown."
Later that night, troubled Britney was seen at Beverly Hills' Cedars Sinai Medical Center wearing a dark wig.
She went into a private room and was seen by medical staff before leaving an hour later.
Britney checked into Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua rehab clinic last Thursday (15.02.07) following a four-day drinking binge in New York.
But she stayed less than 24 hours before visiting her two sons, Sean Preston, one and five-month-old Jayden James in Malibu.
Last week, Britney's former personal assistant Felicia Culotta revealed family and friends want her to get help.
Felicia posted a letter on website Thatotherblog.com: "There's only so much you can do to help. I cannot convince her to love herself. I cannot save her from herself, nor can I commit her to treatment program against her wishes. I am throwing my hands up and realising I am helpless."
Less than 24 hours after shaving her head, Britney was seen wearing a short blonde wig and chain-smoking at West Hollywood's Mondrian hotel.
Her mother Lynne, who reportedly begged Britney to enter rehab over fears she might lose custody of her sons, has now rushed to Los Angeles to see her daughter.
Britney's locks are for sale on internet auction website eBay. Bidding had reached a staggering $1.1 million last night (18.02.07).

Britney Spear's hair on sale for $1 million
Britney Spears' lopped-off locks can be yours for just $1 million on eBay - direct from the salon owner whose clippers the shorn star used during her weekend meltdown.
Esther Tognozzi of Esther's Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, Calif., is hawking the high-priced hairball - along with the pop princess' leftover Red Bull energy drink and her blue Bic lighter.
"We still don't know why Britney chose our shop. We'll probably never know," said the shop owner's husband, J.T. Tognozzi.
He said some proceeds from the sale would go to charity, possibly including the Florida-based Locks of Love, which supplies wigs to kids with cancer.
The Tognozzis say the decadent diva's thick pile of dark tresses and extensions - on sale until around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night - is the only authentic Spears hair on eBay, despite dozens of competing claims.
A quick search of "Britney Spears hair" turns up a slew of enterprising copycats - offering everything from a $3,000 lock of dark hair from a seller in Ohio to a $90,300 blond tuft - the wrong color.
Canadian Web developer Hazim Gaber asked for upwards of $1 million for hair he claims his employee snatched off the salon floor. He even promised to release a Web video as proof of authenticity.
But Tognozzi said the only people in the shop during the incident were his wife, her assistant, Spears and the singer's bodyguard. All the doors were locked and the shop was already closed for the night when Spears arrived, he said.
"It's pretty crazy all the frauds and stuff that's out there," Tognozzi said, adding that he would be surprised if anyone fell for them. "They're not even in our state."

Christina Aguilera puts Britney behind her
Christina Aguilera has put her feud with Britney Spears behind her.
The 'Ain't No Other Man' singer and Britney have been locked in an alleged feud for years since the pair both shot to fame.
Despite their history, Christina insists she has now grown up and moved on.
She said: "A lot of people compared us because we were the same age out there in the same market but that's all moving on now.
"What she does is nobody's business but her own. And the same goes for me."
The pair first fell out in 2003, after Christina reportedly got up close and personal with Britney's ex Justin Timberlake at the Brit Awards.
The two pop beauties them embarked on a bitter war of words, with Christina famously branding her rival's wedding to Kevin Federline "cheap" and claiming the star had "let herself go" while she was pregnant.
Britney, who refused to invite the blonde beauty to her and Kevin's nuptials, hit back by branding the pop beauty a "dark" person.

Britney Spears Gets Bald After She Bails One-Day Rehab
Britney Spears, who has been living recklessly since the breakup of her marriage with Kevin Federline in November checked herself into rehab earlier in the week, but checked herself out again after just 24 hours, according to People Magazine Friday.
But that's not the oddest Britney Spears news. Also, a bystander interviewed by L.A.'s KABC-TV, which filmed Spears heading into Body & Soul Tattoo on Ventura Boulevard, said that the pop star had shaved her head because "she didn't want people touching her anymore."
Celebrity photo Website X17 also captured before and after pics of Britney doing the job herself with an electric razor, because apparently she wouldn't let anybody touch her hair either.
Spears, 25, arrived at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua "two or three days ago" but left after just one day and headed to Florida, an unnamed source told the magazine.
Her former personal assistant, Felicia Culotta, recently revealed that the former pop star and now wannabe mother of two was going off the tracks.
"There's just so much you can do to help a person," Culotta wrote in a letter to Hollywood.com. "I cannot save her from herself, nor can I commit her to any type of treatment programme against her wishes and will."
"By the time I met Britney she was burnt out. She knew she had been drinking and partying as a way to try to banish the bad stuff from her life. Far from the trashy drunk, I saw a very shy, sweet girl who was just desperately sad about what had happened with her marriage," the former pop singer’s ex-boyfriend, model Isaac Cohen, shared his impression on Britney in a tell-all interview with British newspaper, News of the World.
"It was far too soon for her to get involved in a relationship with anyone. It was clear she was not over her marriage. The first time she invited me to her home I saw her wedding dress hung on the wall in a glass box. As we made love that night it was like Kevin was in bed beside us. She had not even begun to move on with her life," he added.
"Other times, she got so low she didn't care what she looked like. She could not care less some days if she went out of the house without brushing her hair or checking to see if her outfit matched."

Justin Timberlake Pleads with Britney Spears, “Stop Drinking”
Justin Timberlake used his time on stage at the recent Brit Awards to plead with former girlfriend, Britney Spears, to sober up. While Timberlake refrained from publicly directing his comments to the 26-year-old “Toxic” singer, his message was clearly understood to be intended for Spears.
Timberlake beseeched his former Mouseketeer mate, “Stop drinking! You know who you are. I'm speaking to you. You are going to get sloppy.”
The Grammy Award winning Timberlake hasn’t been the only one to voice concern over the partying ways of Britney. Spears’ former assistant, Felicia Culotta, has apparently been preparing for the worst. In a letter published on a blogging site, Culotta wrote,
“I want you to know we (as in her family and nearest and dearest - all of whom are not on the payroll anymore) are doing everything in our power to get help for Britney and all in our power not to pad the bottom or move the bottom, so when she does indeed hit rock bottom, she'll stand up and walk away from this whole fiasco a new, confident, changed, career driven Britney like we all knew and loved.”
The letter continued,
"To see what is transpiring now, makes me feel a failure, defeated. I loved and believed in what I was a part of for the past 10 years and was so incredibly proud of Britney and all she'd become.”

Britney Dumped By Isaac Cohen
In a long distance cell phone call, Britney Spears was dumped by model beau Isaac Cohen on Sunday. Britney has been on a trip to New York while Isaac elected to remain in LA. While apart, OK! Magazine has quoted sources that say Cohen has pulled the plug.
According to the report, Isaac broke the news to Britney during a phone call on Sunday evening while she was in New York and he was in LA.“They are no longer an item,” Brandi Lord, Isaac’s agent at L.A. Models, confirmed to OK!.
The entertainment magazine noted that the ex-couple met through Britney’s choreographer and began dating in mid-December. It was the singer’s first real relationship since she filed for divorce from Kevin Federline on November 7 last year.
The report claims that Britney has been in New York on business, while Isaac has been staying with friends and caring for Snow White, Britney’s teacup Chihuahua. According to a friend of Isaac, he has been “looking to get out of the relationship for a while.”
“It was a bit much for him,” the friend stated. “There was a lot of drama – it was too much of a whirlwind. It wasn’t one thing in particular.He likes her. They had a good time together. He was doing his best to help her out – but there is only so much one person can do.”
As far as Isaac’s future is concerned. He will be: “Hanging out with the guys and riding his dirt bike,” says the friend. “He’s focusing on his career – working and going out on castings.”
