Britney Spears is apparently smoking crack. She must be to even entertain the notion of letting ex-hubby Kevin Federline back into her life. Certain sources (and I do hope they’re liars) have reported that Brit and K-Fed are going at it like bunnies while Brit is on tour.

Hotel suites, dressing rooms — even backstage! Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline’s once red-hot sex life has been rekindled.

In the April 20 issue of Star, on sale today, we exclusively report that the one-time couple have been hooking up whenever and wherever the mood strikes.

“It’s like they’re newlyweds all over again,” a family insider tells Star Britney and Kevin, who have been traveling together for much of her Circus tour. “Brit and Kevin can’t keep their hands off each other! The flings have made them both a lot happier.”

Britney loves it when Kevin puts the moves on her, and she’s making her own too, says an insider. “She definitely knows how to fan the flames!”

But there’s one rather tall issue standing in the way — Kevin’s girlfriend, 5′10 ex-volleyball star Victoria Prince, who actually caught Britney and Kevin having sex on the sly!

Victoria “caught him with his hand in the cookie jar,” says a source. [Source]

And what did she do? Probably nothing. And that’s the K-Fed story. That guy must be doing something right to keep all these girls on such a short leash. Still, this is bad news for all involved, especially Britney. I would really like to know where her overprotective papa is while all of this is going on. Maybe his meddling ways will do some good this time.

Britney Spears looks like her former pop star self in the new campaign for the junior brand, Candie’s. This brand is sold only at Kohl’s department stores.

“I had so much fun shooting the Candie’s for Kohl’s campaign,” Spears said in a statement to Usmagazine.com. “I got to wear the cutest clothes and they are perfect for summer!”

“The new Candie’s advertising campaign featuring Britney Spears is authentic, relevant and designed to resonate with our junior shopper,” said Julie Gardner, Kohl’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer.

She added: “At a time when Britney Spears is on top of her career, we believe the campaign will drive excitement for the brand, sold exclusively at Kohl’s.” [Source]

Now we all know that Britney does not REALLY look like that. Sure her body has improved tremendously since last year but this Britney in the photo is too polished. However, we know that photoshopping is a norm and we should just leave Britney alone. Let’s be happy that she’s doing well these days. Perhaps seeing the photos from this campaign will inspire her to work even harder and get her old body back.

Britney Spears has a lot of bad habits. She’s tried to kick them all but there are two things she just can’t get away from: silly men and Starbucks. Obviously, she’s back on a frozen, blended coffee kick (as the pic indicates) and apparently, she’s found herself a new back-up dancer to drool over too. Britney has fallen for one of her tour dancers and apparently, he looks quite a bit like ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Anyway, the singer is said to have singled out “deeply religious” Chase Benz as boyfriend material. “She loves everything about him. She is attracted to him because he’s sweet, southern Christian, comes from a great family and is a great dancer,” said a source. [Source]

I do so wish that Britney would find a nice, stable dude. How about a doctor or a lawyer who would be charmed by her nutty, artistic tendencies instead of yet another hot body lacking a properly functioning brain.

Let’s put the “Bulky Spears” nonsense to rest right now. Here are some pics of Britney Spears looking pretty damned good (despite the pasties) at her show in Washington, DC the other night. I see no jelly belly, no bulging love handles, and no sagging butt. Britney is back and ya’ll better recognize.

Not sure how Britney’s cop get-up figures into the Circus theme but then again, I haven’t seen the show so…

Digging Brit’s sparkly tights.

Based on the above headline, you might suspect that Britney Spears is self-mutilating but that’s not the case. Britney received a scathing body-slam from the good folks across the pond at the Daily Mail and I’m wondering if these people are hankering for an old-fashioned head-shaving nervous breakdown.

Bulky Spears! As Britney returns to the stage after five years is she a bigger star than ever? Perhaps Britney Spears was exploring different sides of her personality at her comeback show. Then again, she may have just been trying to find the right costume to flatter what is a rather fuller figure these days. [Source]

So, of course Britney wasn’t too happy about the comments as reported by Digital Spy:

“Britney has been upset by some of the negative feedback she’s been getting,” a source said. “She’s worked so hard on her figure and her fitness.

“She thought she was an unstoppable force, but now it’s dawning on her that she’s not as revered as she once was, which is causing her upset.

The star has allegedly started drinking specially-sourced shakes which include the African tree bark hoodia, thought to help with weight loss. [Source]

I thought Britney was looking pretty good in those bikini shots a few weeks ago but I guess unless she’s rocking her sixteen-year old six pack, she should probably just hang up her gloves. Sad, sad, sad.

Britney Spears is so close to having her old body back and seriously, I couldn’t be happier for her. I’ve been insanely jealous but also insanely happy. Imagine how much happier I became when I realized that I too can have Brit’s banging Circus body!

To get into tour-ready shape, Britney headed to renowned choreographer Jamie King, who’s also worked with Madonna, Rihanna, and other superstars who put on sweat-worthy shows. But while you probably can’t hire King for your own personal routine, you can work out to his DVD, “Rock Your Body”…which features a short workout and how-to moves for a hip-hop routine.

“Rock Your Body” isn’t a traditional workout video, so some of its styling is kind of rough (King says “go left” when he’s moving right, for example, since he’s facing you). Still, you’ll really feel your abs and core engage as you learn the steps.

“All dance moves begin at the core,” Van Daff says. “You can’t shake, squat, bend, twirl, gyrate or any other dance related movement without a strong core.” [Source]

I tried the “Dancing with the Stars” workout last summer and it was totally complicated. Perhaps this one will be more my speed.

Britney Spears’ dad Jamie Spears has taken the reigns in a major way. He is determined to keep Brit on the straight and narrow during her tour in an attempt to keep her from gaining weight again. Oh, and he probably wants to avoid another mental collapse too.

A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Jamie is determined nothing can go wrong with Britney’s comeback. He’s making sure she reads the Bible for at least an hour during her quiet time before she goes on stage and has banned her from using the internet. He is even monitoring what she eats by insisting on none of her beloved junk food on the rider. [Source]

It sounds totally controlling and weird but seriously, do we want to see poor Brit go all batty and shave her head again? I know I don’t. Looks like Jamie is doing what he needs to do in order to keep his cash cow healthy. Perhaps he’s also acting as a concerned parent. What a nice thought.

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: Britney Spears is back in a skimpy two-piece bathing suit. This must mean that therapy’s working, the meds are fantastic and everything is falling right back into place.

Britney looks buff on the way to the pool.

Britney looks great for having popped out two wee ones in the last few years, suffering a complete mental collapse and almost totally losing her industry cred. A few months on tour and ol’ Brit will be back in the Zone, for real.
