Oops, she said "I do" - again!
Sexpot songbird BRITNEY Spears walked down the aisle with former backup dancer KEVIN Federline at a surprise, five-minute ceremony before 25 guests at a private home in Los Angeles - her second marriage in just nine months.
The bride wore a strapless satin wedding gown by Monique L'Huillier, which included a veil and small tiara, to the Saturday-night nuptials.
The groom cut a dashing figure in a traditional black tuxedo.
But in a wacky nod to her flash-and-trash reputation, BRITNEY, 22, later presented her maids of honor with gifts of hot-pink velour track suits emblazoned with the words "Hot Mama."
Not to be outdone, KEVIN, 26, presented his male pals with gifts of white velour track suits inscribed with "Pimps." One jacket went so far as to boast "Pimp Daddy."
The couple gave their families barely two hours' notice to show up at the Studio City home of the tailor who custom-made the tuxedos for the event.
BRITNEY's mom, Lynne, and the pop princess's kid sister, Jamie Lynn, apparently thought they were attending an "engagement dinner" when the plan for a ceremony was suddenly divulged.
BRITNEY was blond no more, having opted for a more conservative brunette, only to discover that sister Jamie Lynn had done the same.
Others in attendance were BRITNEY's father, brother, cousin and three friends, sources told The Post.
BRITNEY carried a bouquet of pink and white roses, while five bridesmaids and a maid of honor all wore burgundy and carried red roses.
During the ceremony, the couple exchanged rings - she gave him a platinum ring with diamonds, he gave her a platinum band - after which they danced to Journey's "City by the Bay," Star magazine reported.
Later, guests reportedly dined on chicken fingers, crab cakes, ribs and Waldorf salad and ate wedding cake.
Let's hope BRITNEY's latest union lasts a bit longer than her last one.
On Jan. 2, she wed high-school sweetheart JASON Alexander in a quickie Las Vegas ceremony.
But she instantly regretted it, and the marriage was annulled only 55 hours later - in a mess BRITNEY's record company chalked up to being a joke that went too far.
During that bizarre ceremony, the bride wore a baseball cap and torn jeans down the aisle.
Jason later sold his story to a British tabloid, breathlessly telling of BRITNEY's sexual prowess on their wedding night.
Just five months later, BRITNEY and KEVIN announced their engagement.
BRITNEY's latest marriage makes her more than a new wife - she's also the stepmother of two kids.
KEVIN has two young children with former girlfriend and ex-"Moesha" actress SHAR Jackson: a 2-year-old and a newborn, who was still in the womb when KEVIN dumped Shar for BRITNEY.
BRITNEY had reportedly been set to wed KEVIN - a former dancer who worked for her ex-beau JUSTIN Timberlake - at the posh Bacara resort in Santa Barbara on Nov. 20. But they put the kibosh on that plan when journalists got word of it.
Last week, BRITNEY held a raucous three-day bachelorette party with her gal pals at the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica, while KEVIN was thrown a bachelor party at Houston's, also in Santa Monica.
Late Saturday afternoon, BRITNEY went to the BURKE Williams spa in Santa Monica, where she enjoyed a facial and a massage. To make sure she wasn't disturbed, she registered under the name "BELLA," which is Italian for "beautiful." After Saturday's nuptials, an after-wedding party was held at Dublin's Irish Pub in West Hollywood.

Pop tart Britney Spears finally checked out her palazzette at Boston's Onyx Hotel yesterday, quietly slipping into town with fiance Kevin Federline after her much-ballyhooed Big Apple perfume launch.
''I can tell my mother designed this,'' the oft-barefoot songbird said as she walked through the door of the $259-a-night Britney Spears Foundation Room and bounced on the bed. ''It's got my mother written all over it.''
But it was Brits - not mum, Lynne - who signed the wall of the 10th-floor room decorated in soothing tones of beige and sage and outfitted with photo of Spears sporting a halo and a bra.
And Lynne's kid recognized one of the fairy tchotchkes in the room's curio cabinet as a previous inhabitant of her childhood bedroom in Louisiana. (A portion of The Foundation Room revenues are donated to the annual Britney Spears Camp for the Performing Arts on Cape Cod and other Foundation activities.)
After the future Mrs. Federline's quickie look-see - a tour she's been scheduled to take since May - she fled Boston at 3:30 p.m. on an American Airlines flight back to La-La. We hear Brits reserved the entire first-class section.
Why? Because she can!
Meanwhile, Mama was back home pounding out a missive on Brits' Web site defending her daughter's right to walk barefoot in public rest rooms and wear trashy clothes! Lynne blames Brits' penchant for walking around shoeless on her recent knee injury.
''The doctor's orders are for her to wear Uggs or tennis shoes and it's just too hot for that,'' wrote Mama Spears. ''Sometimes, it just feels good to go barefoot in this heat and give her feet a rest.''
But in a public bathroom??? As Teresa Heinz would say: Ick!
And as for her affianced daughter cleaning up her act, ah, don't count on it, says Spears mere.
In other words, What U See (Is What U Get).
''My daughter is not one that is going to give into the pressures of dressing up every single day in order to impress the paparazzi vultures that await her outside,'' she wrote.
Because her Baby, Baby, is no Slave 4 Fashion!

Shar's Papparazzi Nightmare.
Britney Spears' love rival Shar Jackson has blasted the pop star and her ex Kevin Federline for turning her life into a paparazzi nightmare. The actress fears Spears' decision to allow photographers to snap a family portrait with herself, fiance Federline and his two-year-old daughter with Jackson, Cory, has endangered her child's safety. Jackson was far from happy when she saw the "family portrait" on the front cover of America's People magazine last month - and not just because it featured her daughter with her superstar stepmother-to-be. She says, "I can't leave her (Cory) alone. You know how sometimes you take your kids to the park, you let them run around. I can't do that. I have to sit there and watch her like an eagle now. It's very, very scary. Somebody came in my backyard and was like trying to take pictures through the house. I called the cops." Jackson is determined not to let the same thing happen to her newborn baby son Kaleb. She adds, "She (Britney) hasn't even met Kaleb yet."

Sept 18-04 No Promotion for the new album and single Updated: More info added
Don't expect to see Britney perform her new single anywhere or to appear on TRL the day GH: MP comes out. Her spokeswoman confirmed she wouldn't do any promotion for the new album and single because she's too busy getting everything ready for her wedding. Ok, well in my opinion that's not good at all... I'm starting to worry cuz it really seems like Britney wants to end her up her career. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Sept 17 BRITNEY SPEARS ' MERCHANDISING ' COMPANY BRITNEY BRANDS INC. ADDED A DEFENDANT IN THE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT AGAINST BRITNEY SPEARS FOR INFRI.
A lawsuit was filed against Britney Spears and several other defendants in February 2004 by Lite Breeze, Inc. alleging that Ms. Spears and the defendants have infringed, and continue to infringe, its federally registered trademark "IN THE ZONE" and related common law rights. See Lite Breeze, Inc. v. Spears, et al., No. 04-Cv-0326 (S.D. Ca. Feb. 17, 2004). Ms. Spears and the defendants have denied the allegations. On September 9, 2004, the Court allowed Lite Breeze to add Britney Brands, Inc. as an additional defendant in the case because Britney Brands was involved in the production and/or manufacture of In The Zone t-shirts, which Lite Breeze alleges, violates its federally registered trademarks.
Lite Breeze is a San Diego company that develops and promotes talent worldwide in promotions, events, concerts and merchandising under the IN THE ZONE brand. Lite Breeze also markets a sporting brand under the IN THE ZONE label for athletic teams, cheer squads and bands throughout the United States.
.
Lite Breeze believes that its trademark rights were infringed beginning in late 2003 when Ms. Spears released her "In The Zone" recording album and then began promoting the album internationally with public appearances, a concert tour and related merchandising. Since the defendants began their blitz using Lite Breeze"s trademark IN THE ZONE, Lite Breeze has suffered a loss of its goodwill and reputation because it has been linked in the marketplace with Ms. Spears" sexually explicit album and related concert tour.
The lawsuit is going forward and the defendants received cease and desist letters in February 2004 requesting that all uses of the trademark IN THE ZONE immediately stop, yet Lite Breeze has discovered that infringing t-shirts are still being sold to the public through on-line sources such as Amazon and E-bay. Although Ms. Spears changed the name of her concert tour from IN THE ZONE WORLD TOUR 2004 to THE ONYX HOTEL TOUR 2004, the continued sales of infringing products causes confusion in the marketplace and makes it difficult for Lite Breeze to market its goods and services under its own brand name. Some Lite Breeze customers have expressed disinterest in associating themselves with the In The Zone brand because of Ms. Spears" unauthorized use of the trademark.
Lite Breeze is attempting to rehabilitate its IN THE ZONE brand by distancing itself from Ms. Spears and the other defendants. However, it has been difficult to achieve this result since Ms. Spears and the defendants have flooded the marketplace with unauthorized and unlicensed use of Lite Breeze"s brand name. Lite Breeze appeals to the public to assist it in tracing the unauthorized use of its trademark by asking people who purchased or saw any Britney Spears In The Zone merchandise for sale at concerts, in retail stores or on-line to call Giant Sports Factory, a division of Lite Breeze toll-free at 1-888-586-8586.
The case is scheduled for trial in late fall 2005. The depositions of the principal parties, including Mr. Garner of Lite Breeze and Ms. Spears, are anticipated to go forward in late 2004 or early 2005 after the court rules an a motion for summary judgment that the defendants intend on filing in October or November of this year. In the meantime, Lite Breeze will not abandon its federal and state law rights to its trademark "In The Zone" and will continue its efforts to rehabilitate its IN THE ZONE brand in an attempt to retain its customers and gain new customers by providing them with quality products and services.

BRITNEY STILL GROUNDED
Britney Spears is still grounded by her knee injury - three months after the singer hurt herself while shooting a music video.
Spears needed surgery after stumbling on the set of promo Outrageous in June - and she is still undergoing strict physiotherapy in a bid to get back on her feet.
Her mom Lynne says in a posting on Britneyspears.com, "Britney has been trying to take it easy on her knee. Blockbuster is about as much excitement as she can handle. Most of her days lately are strictly routine: physical therapy, massages and regular day to day stuff to keep her busy."

LYNNES CORNER ( 17 SEPTEMBER 2004 )
Dear Fans,
We are so excited about the launch of Britney's perfume "Curious" by Elizabeth Arden which is now available in department stores!
Britney had such a fun time in New York this week. She was lucky enough to stay at the Mandarin Oriental. It's brand new hotel located in the Time Warner Building. Britney said her room was gorgeous, the view of Central Park & the city's skyline was breathtaking and the hotel had a fabulous spa!
On Tuesday, there was an event held at Macy's so Britney could meet all the executives who worked so hard on helping to create her fragrance and she also met with 150 of her fans. The decor in the room they used for Britney's meet & greet with the fans was precious. It was set up to replicate a dressing room and had a pink couch, fluffy pillows, dim lighting, a plushy throw rug on the floor, costumes from her Onyx Hotel Tour hanging up along the wall and it even had a little section where they set up a hair & make-up area to complete the 'dressing room' vibe. Britney thought the room was adorable and enjoyed meeting with her fans.
After the Macy's event, Britney went to see the Broadway musical "Wicked" that we have been hearing so many rave reviews about. The reviews did NOT disappoint, she thought the play was fabulous! The show is about the untold story of the witches of Oz and basically provides another way to look at "The Wizard of Oz" with a really great moral behind it. Indina Menzel, Jennifer Laura Thompson and Joey McIntyre were the leads and Britney thought they all did an outstanding job. I have to go see this myself, the next time I'm in New York. As they say in New England, the show was "Wicked" good!
Speaking of New England, this morning Britney flew to Boston so she could finally see her Foundation Room at the Onyx Hotel and sign the wall. She called to tell me how much she loved the room and how she spent about 10 minutes looking at all of the collectibles in the Curio cabinet. It made me so happy to hear how much she enjoyed how the room turned out.
Jamie Lynn's show is wrapping at the end of this week and we have been filming on the beach since Monday. She is looking forward to the wrap party this weekend. This is always such a bittersweet feeling. We are both very excited to go home, but are sure to miss everyone we've become close with throughout the summer.
By the time you read this, Britney's "My Prerogative" video will have debuted on TRL- we all hope you love it! I can't wait to see the final version myself!

MY PREROGATIVE REVIEW
Britney's single..
RELAX GUYS, WE'RE ON ABOUT HER NEW SONG
Britney Spears has re-invented herself again - this time following in the footsteps of Janet Jackson.
I'm the first UK journalist to hear Brit's version of the Bobby Brown tune My Prerogative and it's a belter. Production team Bloodshy & Avant waved their magic on Toxic. But this goes down a completely different road, picking up old school Janet vibes coupled with Asian beats and lacing synths.
Britney's trademark voice purrs forcefully: "They say I'm crazy. I really don't care. That's my prerogative. They say I'm nasty. But I don't give a damn. Getting boys is how I live..."
Then she continues through to the bolshie Backstreet Boys-esque chorus: "Everybody's talking all this stuff about me. Why don't they just let me life? Tell me why. I don't need permission. Make my own decisions. That's my preorgative."
I was invited to Jive Records' London HQ to get a spin of the highly anticipated record before anyone else. Britney's spokesperson told me: "The track is fantastic and it's the perfect tune for Britney to cover. It will be massive. It's got all the right ingredients to become a classic."

Various track lists for the forthcoming greatest-hits album from Britney Spears have been circulating on the Internet, causing fans to worry that the singer wouldn't be including some of their favorite songs, such as "I'm a Slave 4 U." Those worries turned out to be premature, as the official list of what tracks made the cut, made available on Monday, reveal that not only are the promised two new songs included in the collection, but so is a lesser-heard track which recently became a hit online.
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative, which is slated to come out on November 9, will include the singer's cover of the Bobby Brown hit "My Prerogative," as well as a new song called "Do Somethin' " and the dance cut "(I've Just Begun) Having My Fun." The latter song is from the "In the Zone" sessions and was originally found as a bonus track on the European version of Spears' "In the Zone" DVD (see "Track That Britney Left Out Of The Zone Is A Hit Online").
Other songs on the 17-track greatest-hits compilation include "Toxic," "I'm A Slave 4 U," "Everytime," "... Baby One More Time," "Stronger" and "Oops! ... I Did It Again."
Spears' single "My Prerogative" hits radio on Wednesday, while the video will premiere on "TRL" on Thursday (see "Britney Covers Bobby Brown's 'My Prerogative' For Forthcoming LP").
Britney Spears' Greatest Hits: My Prerogative track list, according to Jive Records:
"My Prerogative"
"Toxic"
"I'm a Slave 4 U"
"Oops! ... I Did It Again"
"Me Against the Music"
"Stronger"
"Everytime"
"... Baby One More Time"
"(You Drive Me) Crazy (The Stop Remix!)"
"Boys"
"Sometimes"
"Overprotected (The Darkchild Remix)"
"Lucky"
"Outrageous"
"I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman"
"I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)"
"Do Somethin' "

Here are the lyrics of the unreleased rumoured Chaotic, according to the official German Britney site.
Got a call on the cell from a friend of mine
Shoutin', excited, sayin' "It's party time
"Get dressed, come down, I'll be waitin' for you
Tonight we're gonna have fun with the whole crew"
On the way to the party, couldn't wait to see
What all of my friends have got waitin' for me
Itchin' to party, I just had to go
I'm unaware, but I already know
[Chorus]
It's gonna be hot, it's gonna be cool
We're all gonna act a fool
It'll be chaotic, chaotic
It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be neat
It's gonna be one hard party to beat
It'll be chaotic, chaotic
Cruisin' in the drop-top down the street
Knew that at this party, there'd be boys I'd wanna meet
Bumpin' up and down in the back
I know that the party's where it's at
Finally get there, get out the car
We walk in, sit down at the bar
Order up a shot or two
'Cause you know I can't wait to dance with you
[Repeat Chorus]
Starin' at you from across the room
Drinkin', sippin', and then boom
You were up beside me, asked if I wanted to dance
But you didn't have to ask, I knew in advance
Walked to the floor, began to dance
The way I moved got you in a trance
Had to be the best part of my day
And after tonight, I'll still say
[Repeat Chorus x2]
It's gonna be fun, it's gonna be neat
It's gonna be one hard party to beat
It'll be chaotic, chaotic
Chaotic, chaotic

LYNNES CORNER
Dear Fans,
It's now the un-official end of summer. I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. As for myself, I had a terrible sinus infection and spent the entire time (except for Jamie Lynn's hair appointment on Saturday) in bed, resting.
Britney had a girlfriend over to visit and they spent the day laying out by the pool. Kevin went golfing with his friends and cooked dinner for everyone.
Britney has been trying to take it easy on her knee. Blockbuster is about as much excitement as she can handle. Most of her days lately are strictly routine: physical therapy, massages and regular day to day stuff to keep her busy.
"My Prerogative" is set to hit radio and MTV next week, be sure to look out for it!
We went to see the movie "Paparazzi" this weekend. I don't know if we enjoyed it so much because the movie was so good, or if it was because we just identified with it so closely. All fan news aside, I really feel the need to clarify some of the media's negative onslaught of press that has been everywhere lately. I've come across numerous photo's where they are trying to depict Britney as, in their words, "trashy". They are using various photo's to try to illustrate their point, for example, the one where she stepped on her floor length skirt and of course, it pulled down too low in the front. I saw her in this outfit that day and she looked absolutely adorable. Girls, I am sure this has happened to you before, but luckily, there weren't hordes of paparazzi around to capture it in photo's. As for her walking barefoot, The Doctor's orders are for her to wear Uggs or tennis shoes and it's just too hot for that. Sometimes it just feels good to go barefoot in this heat and give her feet a rest. But then again, I guess it's easy to find these "flawed" human moments when there's 10-14 cars of paparazzi documenting your every move. My daughter is not one that is going to give into the pressures of dressing up every single day in order to impress the paparazzi vultures that await her outside. I don't really care how the media depicts Britney because I know the truth, but I do care about how you, the fans, see her. Britney always lets all of this roll off her back and not care about what they say- but I, as her mother, feel the need to set the record straight. I don't know why the media has picked Britney to be the current celebrity they most love to hate, but they have...
On a lighter side, I hope all of you are getting ready to gear up for your fall routines and get back into the school swing of things!

LYNNES CORNER 09-SEP-04
Dear Fans,
The 5 year reunion at the Camp turned out to be a great success. I was so privileged to see this year's performance. I couldn't believe how much talent was under one tent. Donna Luther and all the instructors do such an amazing job teaching the children their routines in 7 short days of classes!! They all blew me away with their singing, dancing, acting, writing and playing of musical instruments. It was so wonderful to see how the returning campers had grown and gotten even better with their skills. The confidence levels in these children when they are on stage is amazing. It was great to see the ones that had come from New Orleans as well.
Britney was devastated that she wasn't able to make it to the Camp this year. She found out from her doctor on a follow up visit that her knee had become too swollen for her to fly anywhere. We were able to set up a satellite feed so Britney could see the performance and the campers were able to see her watching them. About 15 minutes into the show, the connection was lost. The Camp promised to send Britney a tape of the entire performance so she could watch it. We were able to get the connection back up during the dance later that night and Britney was able to talk to all the campers for a little bit. They were also the first ones to hear the final mix of Britney's version of "My Prerogative" and they were all thrilled! Thank all you campers again for allowing me to be part of your special performance day and making me feel so welcome. I was honored to be there. And, it wasn't until answering questions from some of them that I realized how many rumors there are about Britney and the wedding right now. If you believe the press, Britney and Kevin have been scheduled to be married every weekend since they got engaged. It all really makes me laugh- but I am sorry that you have to hear such nonsense. We will be putting photo's from the week at Camp up on the website soon, so make sure you look out for those!
Jamie Lynn and I had our 1st vacation week back at home. Jamie Lynn was able to go to her school's pep rally, cheer at a ball game and spend an entire day playing in softball tournaments. Every night she had 3 or 4 friends staying over the house. I think she is officially caught up on her social life at home. It was so wonderful to sleep in our own beds and for me to drink coffee out of our own coffee pot. Oh- the simple pleasures in life!
I read the USA Today article "Stalking Britney: A Papparazzo's Story" last week and I felt it truly captured and highlighted how dangerous, horrifying and intrusive the papparazzi can be on a day to day basis. I don't know, it's just that Jamie Lynn and I are very selfish about sharing the time we do get to spend with Britney and it would be nice if there weren't always 10-15 cars of papparazzi ruthlessly trying to capture every moment as well.
Britney can't wait to see the first edit of her "My Prerogative" video. Even though she didn't get to do any dancing in it, since the setting is so beautiful, she is sure she is going to love it.
We think, (we hope) we have finally found the ideal house for her and Kevin.
In a few weeks, Britney is going to be launching her Curious fragrance line at an event in New York.
