mediagab.com: With her marriage to Kevin Federline rapidly disintegrating, Britney Spears has decided to take charge of her life once again, and is reportedly planning to re-launch her pop career.
British tabloid The Sun reported that the singer, who is six months pregnant with her second child, is going back into the studio to record a new album, which will also feature a duet with chart legend Dionne Warwick.

The new album will mark the end of the hiatus that Spears had announced she was taking in 2004, in order to start a family. The as-yet unnamed fifth studio album is being produced by Jonathan Rotem

askmen.com: Kevin Federline couldn’t care less if you like him. “If you don't like me, hey, cool,” he says. “Everything in life is 50/50, I accept the good and the bad and just move on." And that’s positive news because the Fresno County native has been the subject of countless parodies and late-night jokes since he married Britney Spears in 2004.

That ridicule could soon be abated -- or, on the other hand, fuelled -- by the release of his debut album, Playing with Fire. Due to hit stores everywhere in mid-August 2006, the hip-hop LP will feature 12 tracks and is being produced by relative unknowns Disco D and Notes.

It’s an odd collaboration, given his wife’s superstar connections, but K-Fed insists he doesn’t want to ride her coattails. "It's not that I don't respect those people,” he says. “I'd love to [work with them] and I'm sure one day I will end up working with a bunch of big producers, but right now I want people to know I did this.” Here are five other facts you probably didn’t know about the wife-beater-wearing love of Britney’s life.

newszoom.com: Britney Spears has reportedly sent her husband Kevin Federline to live in their basement.
The singer is said to be so fed up of her husband's wild ways that she has divided up their Californian mansion and banished him to the lower reaches.
After just 20 months of marriage, Britney allegedly doesn't want Kevin anywhere near their son after coming home to find him drinking and smoking cannabis.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Their relationship has become so hostile she just doesn't see how she can make it work. She has ordered him down to the basement."
The 'Toxic' singer was said to be devastated after spending Mother's Day alone - while Kevin chose to visit his former love Shar Jackson, who he has two children with.
A friend of the singer said Britney had hoped the marriage would last until the birth of the pair's second child in October.
The source said: "Britney desperately wanted it to work and she still does for the sake of their family, but she has had enough of him."
Britney's spokesman has refused to deny the claims.

Canada.com: Poor Britney Spears. Not poor as in broke, which Spears manifestly is not, but poor as in can't get any respect.
Spears is a lightning rod for disapproval. With record sales approaching 100 million units, with guaranteed sellouts whenever she tours, with megabuck endorsement deals, she must be doing something right. Even so, music snobs are disdainful of her singing. Critics dismiss her as a homogenized Janet Jackson knockoff. Bluenosers condemn her for promoting the sexualization of pre-pubescent girls. There's an industry grown up around dumping on Britney Spears.
She was even denounced by PETA for performing with an albino python slithering all over her half-naked body. Never mind that a lot of other reptiles would kill for an opportunity like that.

When I seen that in the false tabloids Mr Pitt, I says to myself, where the hell do they get off talking about another human being like that? Dont they have nothing better to do than bitch about others to make theirselves feel better?
I mean, there you and Angela are in Nymibila bringing food to the poor and all, and the false tabloids get all bent out of shape about some stupid bicycle. Babies heads is tougher than people think, especially people who have never dropped one. We, I mean our nanny, dropped Sean Preston on his dome once and he was fine in practically no time.

contactmusic.com: Bosses at New York museum Madame Tussauds have launched a new campaign aimed at prompting BRITNEY SPEARS to dump her husband and return to her former glories - using their six-year-old waxwork likeness of the pop star. Museum chiefs have remodelled the Britney figure, complete with a heaving chest, to launch their Bring Back Britney campaign. And they're going one step further, asking patrons to "Save Britney from herself, from her husband and from her relentless fertility." In a press release, the cheeky Tussauds marketing executives insist their campaign is geared towards pregnant Spears giving up on her family and returning to "the good ole days when she was a pin-up, not knocked-up." As well as heaving breasts, the Britney Spears of 2000 wax figure comes scantily clad in a sparkly gold two-piece and is attached, upside down, to a stripper pole. Fans visiting Madame Tussauds will also be invited to sign and online petition to Save Britney.

OKmagazine: Pop princess Britney Spears is reportedly having an affair with her pop producer Jonathan 'JR' Rotem. Rotem, who recently scored a number one hit with a song he produced for Rihanna S.O.S, has been "hard at work" with Britney over the past few weeks. Now it appears that they have definately been hard at work in the studio, but not in the way originally thought! Britney is even considering getting a paternity test once her baby is born later this year because she may be unsure of the father. A friend close to Spears said last night, "Britney is terrified. She doesn't want Kevin or her mom to find out. She's been really unhappy with Kevin recently." This comes as another blow to Spears, 24, who last week almost dropped her tot on the street. Britney married backup dancer Kevin Federline in September 2004. They already have a son, 9 month old Sean Preston, together.
