Britney Spears Breakup: Actually a Month Ago!

Looks like the Britney split rumors were true all along. The pop megastar’s breakup with Jason Trawick was a long time coming – and it actually went down quietly and privately weeks before their public statement. Britney once foresaw in a fairy-tale ending for herself and Trawick, who popped the question in December 2011. But by late 2012, she was no longer wearing her ring. “Britney spent Christmas with [sons] Preston and Jayden. Jason was around for parts of it, but it was very obvious that they were not together anymore,” a source says. “They were not affectionate and instead just seemed to keep appearances going for the boys’ sake. Britney looked a bit gloomy and tense throughout the holidays.” Jason Trawick, 41, moved out after Christmas. The couple announced their split last Friday. As recently as last summer, Britney talked frequently about their wedding, “but lately she acted like she knew it would not happen … she hadn’t talked about [plans] in months.” That was quite a change from the early months of their engagement, when Spears “would spend hours online looking at wedding dresses and dreaming,” says the source. They never set a date, however. “Britney wanted to rush in, but there were things that needed to improve before they got to that place,” the source says. “They love each other, but like any relationship, and especially this one, there were some major challenges and hurdles.” “There was constant work that needed to be done. At the end of the day, it just wasn’t working, and things were’t going to change, so it was time to let go.”

O’Donnell had a heart attack in 2012 as well. Both are on the mend now and hope to have a wedding in 2013. “When we are both well enough, [we] will finally have the wedding of our dreams surrounded by those we cherish,” the former View co-host blogged. “[We are] thankful for the love and support so many have given us.” Congratulations to the happy and growing family!

Ashton Kutcher Files to Divorce Demi Moore

More than a year after they separated, it’s now nice and legal: Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are getting a divorce. The actor filed legal papers today in Los Angeles Superior Court, with Kutcher citing “irreconcilable differences” as the basis for the split and with spousal support as a seeming non-issue. He is not seeking any from Moore and he has told the court not to deny Demi’s request if she makes one. Kutcher and Moore announced the end of their marriage last November, following Kutcher’s exposed affair with Sara Leal . Despite the bitter end to their six-year union, both sides have mostly taken the high road over the past 12 months. There has been scarcely any public sniping, just anonymous claims that Moore has been delaying the divorce out of spit for Kutcher moving on so easily to Mila Kunis . But it’s all over now and the two sides can legally move on with their public and private lives. Perhaps Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries can take note.

Britney Spears and Jason Trawick: Split Imminent?

Are the publicists and managers of Britney Spears already in damage control mode and preparing for the singer’s breakup with fiance Jason Trawick? A recent slew of Britney split rumors certainly suggests as much. According to the latest intel, from celebrity news site Radar Online , it’s no longer a matter of if, but when they decide to pull the trigger on a split. At the same time, she recently gushed about Jason to People . “It amazes me that no matter what situation I’m in, Jason has the ability to always make me feel protected and loved,” Spears told the magazine. Still, Radar claims the couple is on the rocks and their three-year relationship is on the verge of ending, barring a last-minute holiday reversal. “It’s a make or break holiday for Britney and Jason,” a source said. “Things have been getting worse and worse for months now, and they know they have to figure things out once and for all because they can’t keep going on like this.” “If they do decide to call off the engagement, things wlll be tricky, legally and financially, so it isn’t just the state of their relationship they have to think about.” “If there wasn’t those considerations involved they would have split a while ago.” As Jason Trawick is a co-conservator over Britney Spears’ estate, the decision to stay together or not isn’t an easy one to make for either of them. One big point of contention, allegedly? “Jason wants to be a father, and while he’s happily taken on the role of dad to Jayden and Sean, he still wants Britney to have his kids,” an insider says. “Britney says she’s happy with just her two children at the moment and wants to concentrate on her career, which doesn’t sit well with Jason.” “Which is kind of bizarre … just a few months ago she would have jumped at the idea. There seems to have been a marked turnaround in Britney’s thought process.” Britney Spears and Jason Trawick: Will it last?   Yes! He’s perfect for her and her kids. No, I just don’t see the connection. View Poll »

Detroit Dad Gets Life in Prison: D’Andre Lane Sentenced in Bianca Jones’ Death

D’Andre Lane denied abusing and killing his 2-year-old daughter, Bianca Jones, but the Detroit dad still was sentenced to life in prison with no parole Monday. Lane, 33, told the court before his sentencing that he loved his daughter and all of his children. He said he didn’t abuse the children but did discipline them. “I understand you want to see someone take the fall, but you have yet to bring any evidence forward that says my daughter is dead,” Lane said. Banika Jones, Bianca’s mother, supported Lane’s innocence. “There’s a murder conviction , and she’s not legally dead,” Jones said of Bianca, who would’ve been three in November. “They made a mistake and I intend to correct it.” A Wayne County jury found Lane guilty of murder and first-degree child abuse in October in the disappearance of his daughter; the case remains unsolved. Judge Vonda Evans also sentenced Lane to 11-30 years for first-degree child abuse, saying he used manipulation, mental abuse and discipline to control others. “You beat and verbally abused her to others and you destroyed her mentally,” Evans said. “Physically you took her around and treated her body like a rag doll, putting her in a car without food and diapers and lied about a car-jacking in a city plagued with violence.” Evans said Lane lied about the car-jacking because he underestimated the attention it would get. Police and about 1,100 residents conducted a week-long search for the child. At 9:45 p.m. December 2, 2011, Lane called 911 and told dispatchers he was carjacked by two men in the area of East Grand Boulevard and Brush Street in Detriot. He said the alleged assailants drove away with his daughter, who was strapped in a car seat. The Mercury Grand Marquis that Lane was driving was found blocks away, with the engine running and the doors open. The car seat was there, but Bianca was gone. “Now you will face what you tried to escape with your life,” Evans told Lane, who was taken out of the courtroom after the sentencing and called Evans a liar.

President Obama: Rocking Man Cave Status in Oval Office!

Last week, in the spirit of bipartisanship, Barack Obama invited his vanquished Republican rival Mitt Romney to the White House for lunch at the Oval Office. Also known as the Man Cave. The President has gradually transformeded the Oval into a far less stuffy place. Out are those archaic floral couches. In are the sporting goods and flat screens! Michelle must not allow him to make decor choices anywhere else. The room is the most important one in the nation … in terms of national security or just bro-ing out. It’s a place you’ve got to get in the right mindset before entering. For the Commander-in-Chief, an avid sports fan, it’s a place where major decisions are made, but major fun appears to be had during the lighter moments. See additional Barack Obama photos below:
