i'm sorry for the lack of updates its because i'm busy with my finals @ school and i'm on a holiday in turkey now i hope you check back soon then with new britney news and more!!!!

I'm sorry i'm a bit late but yesterday it was Jamie Lynns birthday.

Parents-to-be Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge went shopping for a pet bed on Jamie Lynn's 17th birthday today!

The Kentwood couple are living the down-to-earth life in Louisiana and, we hope!, focusing on their impending parenthood. It won't be easy for the two teens!

But cheers to you, Jamie Lynn -- we wish you a happy birthday and the best of luck with motherhood.

Looks like Jamie's gradually giving Britney a little more control over her life - yesterday, we actually caught the pop princess behind the wheel!

(Okay, granted, it wasn't one of her beloved solo drives; her bodyguard was, after all, riding shotgun. Still - it's great to see Britney out and about again!)

Sam Lutfi says a restraining order banning him from Britney Spears hasn't been extended.

In a statement released Friday, he said reports that he has been barred from seeing the singer until April 16 "have not been proven to date."

He said he never agreed to an extension, adding, "I want my case heard by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge."

In March, Lutfi filed papers objecting to the California Superior Court commissioner who ordered him to stay away from the singer.

Lutfi is free to appear in court on April 16 to petition for a new judge.

In February, a restraining order was issued against him after Lynne Spears accused him of drugging her daughter.

Also "The allegations and the declaration in the temporary restraining order are untrue and have not been proven," said Lutfi's spokesman Michael Sands.

Britney Spears headed back into the dance studio Tuesday night to teach a class of 15 children.

And her pint-sized pupils are singing her praises. "I like Britney,” 5-year-old Elissa Bouganim, who has taken three classes with the pop star, tells PEOPLE. “Today, first we were dancing slow, and then faster and faster ... Then we did the fish-move and lots of other fun things."

The troubled 26-year-old has become a semi-regular instructor at the Millennium Dance Complex in the past month – as she has settled into an uncharacteristically quiet routine overseen by her dad Jamie.

"It's just amazing to watch Britney with the kids," says Elissa's mom, Pam. "Elissa won't stop dancing now, that's all she wants to do. Britney has really inspired her."

In fact, Elissa has grown so fond of her new teacher, she even gave Spears a gift during Tuesday's class. "It was a picture of [Peter Pan's] Tinkerbell," she says. "And she gave me a hug."

These days, Elissa would be happy if Spears taught all her classes. "Britney is nice," she says. "I want to dance with Britney all the time because it's so much fun."

After several years of letting friends take care of this site, I have decided to start looking after it again myself. This is Kent, the original creator of TotallyBritney.com (and BritneyOnline.net before that). I would like to thank Monica for all her hard work maintaining the site, and hopefully one day she will be able to come back and help add news and photos. Until then, I will try my best to keep things updated.

Right now, I am looking for some help from people interested in providing news updates, photos, etc. while we work to rebuild TotallyBritney.com into one of the best Britney sites around. If you are interest, please send me an e-mail to info@totallybritney.com. I'd also like to hear what you think about the site and anything you'd like to see added.

That's it for now. Thanks for visiting!

Cheers,
Kent

Calum Best has reportedly persuaded Britney Spears to visit his girlfriend Lindsay Lohan in rehab to help her settle in.

Probably aware that he isn't the best role model for sobriety, the sometime model and professional playboy turned to Britney for help.
A source tells the Daily Star, "Calum was quite brave calling Britney as he only met her briefly a few years ago but when her people told her he’d been in contact, she was happy.
"Calum said he was worried that Lindsay would be so lonely at Promises that she wouldn’t benefit from the treatment at all. Britney’s now in such a good place that she said she’d be happy to visit and to introduce Lindsay to some of her friends there."

Dear Fans,
I just wanted to reach out to all of you and explain some of the things that I have been faced with recently.
It's so funny how many stories are put out there about people. It's like we all want our side of the story out there as well, but at the end of the day only a few people care to hear what is really going on since the bad is always so much more interesting than the truth. I don't know why, but this is so weird to me. I used to be angry at the tabloids for printing horrible things about me, but now I try to just be numb to what I see. I saw Tyra Banks once get really upset and cry on her show because they made her look fat. We all want a certain image of ourselves out there, and at some point we all do really care what other people think or we wouldn't be here.
Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn't know who to go to. I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.
This letter is to not place blame on anyone, although I do see the world with a completely different set of eyes now. Being in that vulnerable state and taken to dinners and parties with friends and finding out later you paid for everything was a huge learning lesson for me. I think the whole problem was letting too many people into my life. You never know another persons intentions or what another person wants. I feel I was too open and looking for answers when I had it all to begin with. I have had to cut so many people out of my life. It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person...it is me. When I was little I remember every night watching movies with my family and feeling so at peace. Dancing and singing all the time just like a little girl should. Now recently I find with my children that I want them to have that feeling all of the time. I am having to face a lot of things right now since I have children of my own. A lot of insecurities from when I was little are coming up again. It is like we are never good enough.
I know everyone thinks that I am playing the victim, but I am not and I hate what is going on right now so much. Maybe this is the reason for this letter...to maybe allow people to look at me differently. It is like when you are a real woman and say what you feel and how you think things are supposed to be, that people just say you are a "bitch."
I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary. I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me. I think it is actually normal for a young girl to go out after a huge divorce. I think it was a bigger issue because I had not gone out in such a long time. I am 25 and I do still have a lot to learn, and I am going to make mistakes everyday, and I am sure every mistake I make will probably be on CNN or Good Morning America. I am only human people and I love you for still loving me.
I am sitting here at home and it is 6:25 and both of my sons are asleep. I am truly blessed to have them in my life. Everyday is so surreal. Life in general is so surreal and crazy.
I just hope this letter made some of you think a little bit more of me and where I am coming from. I just want the same things in life that you want...and that is to be happy. It is just so weird because everyone has their own perception of me and how they think I really am. It is so weird how stories are told. There is your side, my side, and the truth. Somebody has to figure it out. I guess we will never really understand or figure out life completely. That's God's job. I can't wait to meet him...or her.
Love, Britney

Quote of the month...
It is ok to disagree with people regarding certain issues. You´re not being true to yourself if you succumb to others opinions because you feel guilty.

Simon Cowell has advised Britney Spears to "get a sense of reality".
The outspoken X Factor judge insisted that the resurgent pop star can rebuild her career after her spell at a rehabilitation clinic earlier this year.
He told MTV: "My advice to (Britney) six months ago was: 'Go home to your family, lock the door, don't go out with your stupid friends and have some home-cooked food. Get a sense of reality'.
"And then say to yourself: 'There's more good in my life than bad. I'm still a rich, talented girl and I want to get my career back on track.' End of story."

It's been an interesting week for BRITNEY SPEARS: First she held up a flight because she reportedly wanted leather seats and didn't get them; then a technical hiccup forced her to improvise during a performance at the House of Blues in Florida.
Now, will her comeback be derailed by a pedicure emergency?
"My toenails look so bad right now," she says in a bizarre new video. "Hello? I totally need a pedicure!"
Is Britney going to have a breakdown? Not likely. The video is actually a scene from E!'s newest reality TV series, "Sunset Tan," premiering Monday, May 28 at 10:30 p.m. following the premiere of "The Simple Life Goes to Camp."
The wild new show chronicles the drama and misadventures of the owners and employees of a tanning salon on the celebrity-filled Sunset Strip in Hollywood. With celebrity clients ranging from Britney to PARIS HILTON and some of the most bizarre and outrageous tanning requests caught on tape, anything goes in the half-hour series.
"I love tanning because it's my time to escape from the world," says Britney, who drops in on "Sunset Tan" for a naked spray tan and emerges with a positive review: "I love it."

Over the weekend, Britney hit the stage in Orlando and Miami to continue her string of sold-out shows at the House of Blues. While the shows were met with screams from excited fans in the crowd, there may have been a few technical difficulties. Various reports claim that during one performance, Britney's backing track skipped during the performance, throwing off the song -- but Britney quickly turned her back to the audience to cover the mishap.
And according to Page Six, when Britney boarded her flight from L.A. to Florida, she allegedly demanded to be let off the plane at the last minute because the seats were not made of leather. The flight was reportedly delayed for almost an hour due to her hasty exit.

Britney Spears and Ryan Phillippe have slammed reports that they enjoyed a steamy tryst in a nightclub toilet last week (ends18May07).
The single stars reportedly hooked up at trendy Los Angeles night spot Les Deux - but their representatives have told the New York Daily News the rumors are completely false.
U.S. tabloid The National Enquirer claimed “Britney had her arms around him”, before the pair sneaked to the toilets and bodyguards “busted in the door and found Britney and Ryan groping and kissing”.
Spears and Phillippe are currently in the middle of divorce battles with their respective estranged spouses Kevin Federline and Reese Witherspoon.
