 Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline separately arrived at a Los Angeles court Tuesday for a custody hearing.
Spears, 26, is apparently seeking a change in her visitation schedule, but details weren’t immediately known. The hearing was closed to the public.
At 8:40 a.m., a somber-looking Federline, wearing a beige suit, entered the courtroom along with his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Spears, also looking somber, entered shortly thereafter with her father. Her blonde hair was straight and long and she wore a white shirt, beige pants, and wedges. She took a seat on the right side of the courtroom, while Federline was seated on left side.
Laura Wasser, Spears’s original divorce lawyer, rejoined the singer’s legal team. Wasser entered the courtroom along with a lawyer working for Spears’s conservatorship.
The pop star currently has monitored visitation with her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, three times a week.
The ex-couple faces a custody trial in August if they’re unable to settle their case out of court.
“Our goal is to settle what we can without a trial to achieve what’s in the best interest of the children,” Kaplan says. “But whatever can’t be resolved with a private mediator will be brought to trial.”
Spears’s father remains in legal control of his daughter’s affairs until a July 31 hearing.

Okay, remember when Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch said she has emphysema and was going to die? Well, he might have embellished things a bit. Turns out Amy has "low level signs" of the disease. But it's technically not emphysema and the damage is reversible - if she quits smoking. So, perhaps Mitch was getting a preemptive jump on when she'll have it. My money's on July. Anyway, here's what he told BBC Radio:
"Amy really hasn't got emphysema, there's traces of emphysema. Obviously, if she doesn't quit smoking, it's going to get worse, like everyone else ... with patience her lungs will recover completely."
So essentially, Amy has the same predisposition to emphysema as any other smoker. Real smooth, Mitch. Way to cry wolf on that one. Now nobody's going to believe you when Amy gets so freaking high next week, she travels through a wormhole to become the queen of Reverse Earth and collapses the entire space/time continuum. Oh, that's great, Mitch. Just great. Call me old-fashioned, but I'm sort of attached to, oh I dunno, EXISTING. Goddammit, I knew that beehive was no good. I could tell by the way it's always looking at me no matter where I'm standing...

Poison drummer Ricki Rockett was exonerated of charges that he raped a woman in Mississippi after it was determined he was never even in the state at the time of the alleged rape. So, like any classy gent, Rikki is throwing an Exoneration Party and Ride. Though in all fairness, the event will benefit the non-profit group Centurion Ministries which helps vindicate people charged with crimes they didn't commit. Hmm, interesting. I wonder if they cover paternity suits. I mean, DNA might say I'm the father, but that don't prove nothin'.

If you've ever watched ABC's Dancing with the Stars, then you'll recognize professional ballroom dancer Cheryl Burke enjoying the beach in Hawaii. If you're like me and do more productive things like drink whiskey and build LEGOs, you have no idea who the hell she is. However, Cheryl passes the ever critical test of being on this site: A.) she's quasi-famous. and most importantly B.) she's in a bikini. Tom Brokaw once asked me how I've adhered to such high standards for so long. I just looked him deep in the eyes and said "No, Tom, you're not getting a job here." Then he sucker punched me in the pancreas. Non-fiction tale.
NOTE: Last pic is LSFW depending on your work's areola policy. Here, we allow it. But only in the context of breast-feeding or stirring my coffee. Because, at The Superficial, it's people who matter most.

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr and boyfriend Orlando Bloom hit up Gran Canaria, Spain for some topless action. I love how she's using a book to cover her fun parts. When I'm nude it requires the whole Encyclopedia Brittanica to cover my business. You know, once it loaded onto an iPod. I should really turn the AC down in my apartment. Yeah, that's gotta be it...
NOTE: Pics link to uncensored NSFW versions which include a Miranda Kerr nipple and, for the ladies/ Geekologist, an entire Orlando Bloom buttocks. Who loves ya?

These are the latest round of pics from Katherine Heigl's Mexican getaway which ended over the weekend. She's relaxing in the sun and downing margaritas with her husband Josh Kelley. A man who's thinking to himself "How many times can a woman stretch without a boob popping out?" Many men have died trying to answer that question, Josh. But mostly because the strip club they were at caught on fire when I tried to light a shot of whiskey. Maybe the flamethrower was a tad excessive. We'll never know, so let's not point fingers or lawsuits.

Larry Birkhead, like any widowed father, wants to make sure daughter Dannielynn has something to remember her mother Anna Nicole Smith by. Unfortunately, this sentiment involves buying two pieces of lingerie that Anna Nicole wore during a Playboy shoot. Did I mention one of them was ridiculously stained? Because it is. It's like you can see the memories. *sigh* The AP reports:
"I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn't really know about," Birkhead told The Associated Press. "Playboy was such a big part of Anna's career."
Birkhead bought a pink bustier for $1,800 and a white negligee for $1,000 at the auction, run by Julien's Auctions and held at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
A lot of people will say Dannielynn was doomed the day she was born to Anna Nicole. Or, depending on your religious beliefs, the day she was conceived by way of Jesus and a turkey baster. To each his own. But, as for me, I'm going to go ahead and say Dannielynn had a chance until the moment Larry Birkhead said "Oh my God, is that a stain? This is so going in your play room."

Amy Winehouse, at the age of 24, is already showing early signs of emphysema, according to her father Mitch Winehouse. She's still in the hospital after collapsing last Monday and has been subjected to numerous tests. Mitch informed the Sunday Mirror that Amy's continued crack smoking will force her to require an oxygen mask or die - something I always thought impossible for the zombie kind:
"To think this could be my beautiful 24-year-old daughter's life is preposterous. But if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it. But the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her. It's been a tough week.
"After lots of tests they found a lump in Amy's chest. A scan has shown it's not cancerous and there are no traces of cancer in her blood. But they might need to double check."
Okay, finding out that Amy Winehouse has the lungs of an 80-year-old coal miner is no surprise. What is surprising is that she was only diagnosed with low levels of emphysema. Based on every image I've seen of Amy, I expected something insane that would baffle scientists like, I dunno, The Plague. Or Space Scurvy. No one ever suspects Space Scurvy.

Sad news this morning. It's been reported that legendary comedian and cantankerous badass George Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71, according to People:
The stand-up comic and author – best known for his groundbreaking routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" – reportedly died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica. (Carlin, who was open about his long struggle with drugs and alcohol, had a history of heart problems, including a previous heart attack.)
George Carlin was always awesome to me because he had a hilarious way of seeing through the everyday bullshit. The world just got a whole lot less funny and a little less brutally honest. Rest in Peace, George. You'll be missed.
