Kevin Files for Primary Physical Custody of Kids WEDNESDAY AUGUST 08, 2007 08:05 PM EDT Kevin Federline has filed an order to show cause for primary physical custody of his two sons with ex-wife, Britney Spears, according to a source. The documents were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday by Federline's lawyer, according to the source. But a source close to Federline told PEOPLE that the would-be-rapper was worried Spears was exposing the boys to "unnecessary risk" and that his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, "hopes to get Kevin primary custody." In June, when the couple were wrangling over their divorce settlement, Federline was still resisting signing the papers over growing concerns about Spears' erratic behavior. Spears, who spent a stint at Promises rehab center, has been a fixture on the nightclub and party scene. The news of Federline's request for primary custody comes as photos have surfaced of his ex-wife reportedly topless in a hotel pool. Calls to Spears's lawyer were not immediately returned ,20050615,00.html,link about time if you ask me

Kevin can ask for anything he wants, it doesn't mean he'll get it.

that may be Vacanick, but given the way that woman puts those children at risk at what seems like a frequent occurrence, I would say it is about time that the courts started looking at custody and those children should have their own advocate which would be standard in any custody battle. So far I havent heard anything about Federline which would indicate that he is not a responsible parent. I have heard plenty about her though.

He should have insisted on it before the divorce was final. She's not doing anything now that she wasn't doing before the divorce, and he agreed to joint custody. It's much tougher to get an existing custody order changed than it is to get your way in an initial custody order. And their custody order isn't very old, is it? Just a couple of weeks?

And PS I am not defending Britters, she gives the appearance of heading towards meltdown redux.

I think he agreed to joint custody on the basis she entered rehab, knowing that her getting better and healthy and having a stable mother in the boy's life, was best for all involved, HOWEVER, that didn't work for her, so now he's going for the whole shebang. I think all along he's tried to do what was in the best interest of his children. Seems responsible to me. Actually, for them to NOT have joint custody, on parent has to prove the other unfit. Probably won't be too difficult for K-Fed to do, right?

Even if he doesn't get custody, he's going on record. Good thing, IMO.

Sea, I honestly don't see how he wouldn't get custody, but this is California, and you never know, the judge might be some Britney fan...

I completely agree Goddess. It is much harder to change a court order once it's been issued. California is a 'joint custody' state. Meaning unless there are extreme conditions, the court always favors joint custody. Like I said, he can ask.

In this case, I think Kevin might be the more stable parent. Britney just isn't being the responsible one. She could still have visitation with the boys.

Nic, I think that there are some very extreme issues in Britney's life. I don't doubt the kids being put in Kevin's care.

From an article on an IMDB page: "Actress Robin Givens finds her ex-boyfriend Brad Pitt's superstardom 'hysterical' . . . ." I never new Pitt and Given's were ever a pair. Or is that just in her imagination?

Yeah, they were, a long, long time ago, even prior to his Juliette Lewis days (if I recall correctly) and even prior to his breakthrough role (I think).

Oh how fun. I hope someone posts a remind here when it finally airs so I can see it. I read that Donny played Gaston on Broadway's Beauty and the Beast for a while. I had NO idea! I bet he was pretty good. He was at the final Broadway showing very recently.

Last season's The Bachelor stars, Lt. Andy Baldwin and his chosen lady, social worker Tessa Horst, confirm to PEOPLE that they have broken their engagement but not their bond with each other. "We are very much in love and committed to our relationship," the couple say in a statement. "With the possibility of reassignment to a new location, we decided it was not the ideal time for Tessa to uproot herself and move out [to Hawaii] right now. Our relationship continues to deepen, and we're very hopeful about our future together." At the ABC party during the Television Critics Association press tour in late July, Baldwin, 30, told PEOPLE that the San Francisco-based Horst, 26, was due to move to Hawaii, where Baldwin is currently posted, at the end of that month. Baldwin had selected Horst on the May 21 finale of their season on the matchmaking program. At the time, Horst told PEOPLE, "Andy brings light into any room and just lights up the room. His smile and his warmth just make him so great to be around." About his station in Hawaii, Baldwin said, "I know that I have a year left and I may have the option of a three-year tour. There is also the option of a position in California. There is also a chance of me going back to finish my residency training. I am a firm believer that everything happened for a reason, and I am a firm believer that this happened in my life for a reason. Tessa came onto the show for a reason, and it is like a dream come true."

The Osmonds don't have a theater in Branson anymore, but Merrill performs in the Broadway theater. The Brothers come back and do a Christmas show with him each year, but the rest of the time they are on the road. I think they spend a lot of time in the UK as well. (I just got back from Branson - and asked a lot of Osmond questions...LOL).

You can find out about all of the Osmonds - upcoming events, families and even buy Osmond memorabilia at http://www.donny.com Donny tours quite often, but a lot of that is in the UK. Marie still sells her dolls, Jimmy has become the "lead/manager" of the Osmond Brothers - him, Wayne, Merril and Jay perform over 100 shows a year together. Alan no longer performs because of his MS, but he will make an occasional appearance. Just to add: the PBS special will have the two older Osmond brothers, Tom & Virl, as well. I saw on ET that one of them 'signs' the lyrics while Marie sings.
