It's been two long years for Britney Spears and her ex-husband K-Fed.
Those two have been battling in a custody case over their two kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James and it's finally over!
Things were settled in court yesterday, after Britney agreed to give K-Fed full custody of the kids. Britney will get more visitation rights and some overnight visitation as well.
Outside the court, Britney's attorney told PEOPLE: "Britney's doing great. She's very pleased. The kids are with her right now."
Now this isn't the end of it! Despite this settlement, a judge can always modify the custody arrangement.

Britney Spears is gearing up for a busy summer!
Britney is going to work on her new, still not titled album.
Her manager Larry Rudolph, announced that she's going to be spending her summer in the recording studio.
He also added: "She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters, and we're very excited about what she's accomplished so far. No album release date has been confirmed yet."
Britney hasn't been completely idle those past weeks, she's done a bit of work and shot a video segment at The Lot in West Hollywood for Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour.
We'll hope this means that the old and cool Britney is on her way back!
Good luck with your new album Brit Brit!

Other than she's gonna shoot a video for Madonna's tour, Britney's news is a bit boring these days!
Yesterday, she was spotted leaving B2V Hair Salon in Beverly Hills with a new do ... at last!
She got her hair dyed in a crisp blond color and it seems there are new extensions! She looks good!
I guess this pampering is for the video she's going to shoot today.
Why can't she look this good and this tidy every day? Does there have to be an occasion so that she cleans up?! I mean here dress is even cute and chic!

Yesterday was Independence Day and Celebrities like normal people took advantage of the free day to chillax and take it easy.
So, what did they do?
Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy spent some time on the Malibu beach, soaking up the sun and just relaxing. Jim was spotted wearing Jenny's halter swimsuit!

Nicole Richie surprisingly wasn't with Joel and baby Harlow! She was with some friends at the Malibu beach as well.

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson made things a tad bit more official with a kiss in public!
They attended a 4th of July bash at Courtney Cox's house and they gave us some PDA to think of!

More 4th of July celebrity activities after the jump ...

Guess who's back on the Britney scene? Brit pap Adnan Ghalib!
If you thought that after all this time Brit has gotten over Adnan, you're wrong!
It seems Adnan has been visiting Britney at The Summit and they're back with texting each other.
There are lots of rumors as to why the relation is back on. Some say they've never gotten over each other and still have some feelings ... while others speculate that Adnan has a sex tape with Britney and she's afraid it'll go public!
What will she do in this case? Steal the tape from under his pillow?
I wonder, will daddy Jamie step in and put an end to this soon? We all know he doesn't like Adnan and thinks he's bad influence!

This is what's great about summer, you get to see all those stars and models in their swimsuits and bikinis! Then you start moping about how your own body is deteriorating and everything is sagging downwards and you need to get rid of that cellulite on your thighs!!!
Never mind that ... so, the latest celebs to be caught in their bikinis are model Miranda Kerr, while on vacation with her beau Orlando Bloom. Katherine Heigl and Britney Spears seemed to enjoy a little sun in the privacy of their own homes but they were caught on camera never the less!
In terms of which bikini i like best, i think Miranda's is the best, then Britney's then in last place Katherine's rainbow bikini!

Photos of Miranda, Britney and Katherine in their bikinis!

Yesterday was a victorious day for Britney Spears!
She went to court for another custody hearing, this time a positive one.
Brit gained more visitation rights with her two boys Sean Preston and Jayden James!
She was awarded overnight visitation and that's a huge step for the troubled pop princess!
Both Britney and K-Fed were at the hearing and they both emerged happy and satisfied with the outcome.

Celebrities are still in the phase of chillaxin' and soaking in the sun.
The latest to be spotted at the pool side or on the beach are Britney Spears and the Kardashian sisters!
Britney spent the week-end in Las Vegas and was staying at the Palms Place.
She was spotted in her bikini, wrapped in a towel, at the pool.
As for the Kardashian sisters, Kim and Kimberly, were spotted enjoying a relaxing vacation (although it seemed to me as if they were posing more than relaxing!) in Monaco over the past week.
I also came across a photo of Kate Beckinsale in a black bikini ... but it's a tad bit old! Never the less, she looks good!

Britney Spears in back from her Costa Rica vacation and is already back on the scene!
She was spotted yesterday in Los Angeles shopping at Lisa Klein boutique.
I wonder what she got? Maybe a cute dress and some simple tops? Or maybe a few summer accessories and a cool handbag?
Brit was sporting a cute pink & purple top and simple jeans.
Her hair was up in a messy bundle! But that's how Brit Brit is!
As she exited the boutique, she got mobbed by a swarm of paparazzi, as usual!

Britney spears is currently in Costa Rica enjoying its beaches and it’s hot brilla sol.
Britney seems to have let loose and relaxed a bit now that she’s away from Tinsletown.
She was spotted running on the beach, jumping in to the water and even driving a quad on the sand.
Brit Brit was also spotted in a colorful bikini. He body is slowly getting back to shape. I hope she stays on the right track and doesn’t go back to the junk food and Cheetos she loves so much!
Britney, her dad and Mel Gibson are staying at Mel’s Costa Rican ranch. That must be beautiful!

Britney Spears and her dad have headed to Costa Rica for a few days, but they're not alone! They've hopped on a plane with Mel Gibson and his wife and are going to spend a vacation in Mel's home there.
Mel and his wife have taken interest in Britney and have been trying to spend time with her and her family since Britney got hospitalized last February.
Britney was first spotted with Mel Gibson last March when they dined together at Romanov, a Russian restaurant in Studio City.
Mel Gibson and his wife were once neighbors with Brit and they were just doing what any good neighbor would, lending a helping hand.

The question is, What will this helping hand do for Britney?

The other day, Britney Spears emptied her Malibu rental house near Paradise Cove and is reportedly on the look-out for a new mansion, not to rent, but to buy!
Britney moved her stuff to a nearby storage facility.
It seems Britney wants a house that's closer to her kids.
Rumor has it that she's already eyed a $6 million mansion in Encino, California, where she'll be closer to her sons who are living with their dad in his Tarzana mansion.
the house which Brit Brit checked out has five-bedrooms, a couple of fountains, a jacuzzi, a swimming pool, a spa and a wine cellar!
This makes total sense, since Britney gained a more visitation rights with her kids last week.

I am perplexed by that fact that Britney Spears doesn't look this good in her everyday life!
If she cleans up this well, then why doesn't she make a tiny effort to look this cute and good everyday? I don't get it!
Take a good look at this just-released press photo of Britney on the set of How I Met Your Mother. Doesn't she look like the old Britney? The cute pop princess from, like, a million years ago! Gosh!
Britney will be appearing in another episode of the sitcom, which will air on May 12th.

Britney Spears spent the week-end in her hometown on Kentwood with her family.
The Spears family celebrated an intimate baby shower for expectant Jamie Lynn.
Brit Brit helped her sis with the baby shower and was a good host to about 30 ladies.
As paparazzi helicopters hovered about the house and police were at the gates, the ladies sat around in a cozy circle watching Jamie Lynn oped her gifts and presents.
For a few hours the family celebrated in a simple, normal celebration, and maybe Britney was able to forget that she's a celebrity under the spot light for just a bit.
