05.01.2008: When Britney Spears' father, Jamie, was named her co-conservator on February 1, he took over her financial affairs. And there have been various reports that have estimated how much money Britney Spears has lost due to her wild behavior and some staggering amounts have been reported. Many are wondering how much money her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears will lose due to her teen pregnancy but Jamie Lynn can't touch Britney's earning yet and she certainly can't touch her losses.

In Touch Weekly is reporting an unbelievable amount of money that has been lost by Jmaie Lynn Spears big sister Britney. The magazine is reporting this week that after going through her books, Jamie must have learned just how much of a toll Britney’s crazy behavior, which started in February 2007 when she shaved her head, has had on her bank account - she's lost nearly $61 million, the magazine claims. "It's staggering how much money has been used up,” a family friend says.

The report notes that in addition to the enormous tab for legal bills, rehab and psychiatric care, Britney’s inability to work has cost her a fortune. “By not touring for her last album [Blackout], she lost out on $50 million,” estimates Robert Bianchi, an LA-based CPA who isn’t an accountant for Britney.

Jamie hired his own accountants to sort out the money mess and bring an end to the 26-year-old’s excessive spending. “It’s been quite a challenge getting things under control,” the insider says. Luckily, as Britney’s mental health improves, so does her bottom line. “She’s spending about a fifth of what she used to,” the insider adds.

5.01.2008: Britney Spears has been given the perfect Mother's Day gift--a day with her kids. Thanks to continued improvements in the pop star's relationship with ex-husband Kevin Federline, the rapper/dancer has agreed to let Sean Preston and Jayden James spend May 11 with their mom. Federline was given full custody of the kids after Spears staged a standoff with police, emergency services officials and childcare experts when she refused to hand over her sons after a scheduled visitation in January. The couple has been battling the custody order ever since, but now Federline appears to have cooled on the issue--and he's agreeing to let Spears spend more time with their sons. A family friend tells Life & Style magazine that Federline is considering granting his ex overnight visits with the kids, after Spears filed a formal request with the courts. The insider says, "He hasn't said yes yet, but he's considering it."

And whereas Federline once reportedly dreaded phone chats with his ex, sources claim the couple has become friendly, with the rapper calling her his "lady" and Spears ending calls by telling her former husband that she loves him. One pal tells Life & Style, "It's such a huge change. It hasn't been like this between them in forever."

4.30.2008: Britney Spears returned to Fox Studios for her second day back on the set of How I Met Your Mother at around 7:30 this morning. Isn't it great to see Britney up so early and already hard at work? She's really giving her all! April 30, 2008.

4.28.2008: A spokesperson for How I Met Your Mother is confirming what was first hinted at earlier this month: Britney Spears has officially signed on to reprise her role as Abby for one episode during May sweeps.

In the episode, titled "Everything Must Go," Barney and Abby realize that they have one thing in common — their mutual hatred of Ted. The new "couple" decide to go to the bar to flaunt their new relationship in Ted’s face. Desperate to get a rise out of his former pal, Barney pops a surprising question to Abby.

I know what you're thinking: Barney hates Ted!? Fallout from his makeout session with Robin last week, perhaps?

"We're all so thrilled to have Britney joining us once again," said executive producer and co-creator Craig Thomas in a statement. "And just to head it off at the pass this time around: Yes, Mom, Britney's very nice and no, I can't get her autograph for you."

Production on Brit's ep begins today and is scheduled to air May 12.
