I interrupt your regularly scheduled chatting to bring you this newsflash: Britney Spears has filed a petition for divorce from Kevin Federline. Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.
As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Sept. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.
Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events."
Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.You. Go. Girl. You've probably all heard, but I wanted to post it anyway...

It's seriously about time. I read that earlier today and was just like 'FINALLY!'. I think that she can rise above her redneck tendencies if he's not pulling her down...

IS THIS BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO WATCH 'LOST' WITH HER?

Re: Spears and Federline, a quote my friend sent me from www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com : "I'd love to congratulate her, but she opted against birth control with this douche, so he'll forever be "famous" and she'll forever be gross and dumb. It's like congratulating someone for finally getting rid of their gonorrhea after two years. Yeah, you got rid of it, but you still caught it in the first place, you nasty ass."

LOL! No, he just wants me to vote no on Prop 57. Hilary called last week, as did my Governator and Robert Redford.
