Britney Spears' new boyfriend

The singer has been spotted on several romantic outings with David, who works at a prestigious law firm in Southern California.

Singer Britney Spears - who split from her fiance Jason Trawick in January 2013 - had her new love interest David Lucado undergo a background check and sign a non-disclosure contract before agreeing to go out with him despite being set up by her father and legal guardian Jamie Spears.

A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Jamie has known David for a while, and always thought he was a thoughtful, and an all-around good guy. Britney needed someone to keep her company after she and Jason (Trawick) broke up. It had to be a male, because Britney just doesn't respond as well to females. And remember, she is still under a conservatorship. Before David started spending time with Brit, he had to undergo a background check, and sign a confidentiality agreement, all arranged by Papa Spears. Jamie makes sure if things go south between Jamie and Britney, details about her life wouldn't be made public. David had absolutely no problem with it, and completely understood why it was being done."

The 31-year-old singer - who shares sons Sean Preston, seven, and Jayden James, six, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - has been spotted on several romantic outings with David, who works at a prestigious law firm in Southern California, recently.

And insider revealed: "(He) genuinely cares for Britney. David is very protective of Britney, and isn't dating her for fame. He is very, very patient with her as Britney can be prone to drastic mood swings. He has become a very calming influence in her life."

Britney Spear's father Jamie is still in control of her affairs via a conservatorship, which he obtained five years ago following her public meltdown.

Spears 'told to relax romance'

Britney Spears has reportedly been warned to "slow things down" with her new boyfriend.
Spears married Kevin Federline in 2004 and together they have sons Sean and Jayden James.
The couple divorced in 2007 and since then Spears has been engaged to Jason Trawick, who she split from at the beginning of this year.
The pop star is now dating legal firm researcher Dave Lucado and Federline is reportedly concerned about their fast-moving relationship.
"Kevin doesn't want the kids to think that any man that Britney dates will ever replace him as a father figure," a source explained to British magazine Star.
"This is the second man she has had staying at her house and he fears it could upset the children... Ultimately he has Brit and their kids' best interests at heart but he thinks she is diving in too soon with Dave and she needs to slow down."
Spears and her new beau were first spotted together in February, when they enjoyed a Valentine's Day date together.
The troubled singer seems to be in a good place and has even settled her differences with Kevin in order to co-parent their boys.
It is thought that Federline may have raised the issue of Britney's new relationship while spending time with their kids together.
"They have had more time to chat at their boys' soccer games recently and Kevin told her he isn't happy about her bringing in another man to their lives so soon after Jason," the insider continued.
"Kevin is conscious of the impact it will have on their lives and wants their upbringing to be as stable as possible."

Britney Spears planning third baby?

London: Pop star Britney Spears is reportedly planning to have her third child with boyfriend David Lucado.

The 31-year-old, who split from her fiance Jason Trawick in January, recently started dating Lucado and has been spotted with him in public on various occasions, reported Digital Spy.

It is rumoured that Spears called off the engagement with Trawick because the couple disagreed over having children.
Spears is said to be on the verge of signing a deal for a residency at Las Vegas`s Planet Hollywood resort and is planning to have the baby shortly after that.

"Britney has been talking about her hopes to have a baby when her Vegas residency ends. They want David to be the stay-at-home dad while she`s performing, and says he can`t wait to be hands-on.

"Britney`s in the best shape she`s been in for years. Being with David has really inspired her. He makes her really happy and she wants to look sexy for him," a source said.

The `Toxic` hitmaker raises two sons Sean Federline and Jayden James Federline.

BRITNEY SPEARS Cuts Deal in Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

BRITNEY SPEARS Cuts Deal in Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

Britney Spears has struck a settlement with the former bodyguard who claimed the pop star was a genital-flashing sexual harasser during his time with the singer ... TMZ has learned. 

According to court documents, Britney and Fernando Flores agreed to end their 2-year legal war ... which started when Flores filed a lawsuit claiming she was a naked menace to work for. 

In his suit, Flores had alleged Britney would intentionally drop her cigarette lighter in Fernando's presence and then bend over to pick it up ... and "thereby exposed her uncovered genitals."

Flores also claimed Spears abused her children. 

Spears adamantly denies all of the allegations -- but sources tell TMZ she coughed up a modest financial settlement just to make the case go away. We're told the settlement was amicable ... but the money didn't even cover all of Flores' legal costs. 

Of course, Spears is still under a conservatorship so the settlement will have to be approved by a probate court before it becomes a done deal ... but that's just a formality and shouldn't stop the deal from going through.

Christina Aguilera Welcomes Britney Spears: 'She's Going to Give Great Advice' on 'X-Factor'

Christian Aguilera has nothing but love for former pop star rival Britney Spears.
This season, the two singing divas will compete for ratings on their shows "The X Factor" and "The Voice."
"I came up with Britney, we were very close," Aguilera told reporters during a recent press conference in California, according to VIBE. "Our paths have always crossed. They'll continue to cross. I welcome her to this family of fun and entertainment and finding new talent.
"Britney's a pro," Aguilera continued. "She's going to give great advice."
As a new judge on "The X Factor," Spears may feel a little pressure to bring her A-game.
Recently, RadarOnline.com reported that Spears seemed "robotic and out of it" during a two day long commericial shoot last week at the Queen May in Long Beach, Cali. She was shooting for her new fragrance.

"Britney didn't interact with the cast or crew at all during the two day shoot and she seemed to be just going through the motions when the camera was rolling, and seemed out of it," an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com.
"Britney was almost robotic in her movements. Britney's fiance, Jason Trawick was along for the shoot and everyone thought at first he was her assistant because she spent so much time huddled up with him when not filming. Britney must have smoked at least a pack a day during the two day shoot and was always smoking when not filming. Security was very tight and Britney had more bodyguards than usual and was kept out of sight from visitors to the Queen Mary."
"Britney spent a lot of time in hair and make-up and nervously bit her fingernails and kept smoking throughout," the source says.
"She looked amazing though and her fans will love the commercial. Britney did was what asked of her and the end result worked, but the crew wondered why there was such a heightened presence of security. It was just a bit over the top and security even stayed after the shoot to make sure that no one took any pictures of Britney as she left," source added.
Spears' new Elizabeth Arden television commercial will premiere at the beginning of September.

 

Britney Spears makes surprise court appearance

With her big "X Factor" premiere just four weeks away, Britney Spears made a surprise court cameo Wednesday looking dazzling - even without an engagement ring.
"She's great. She looked healthy, happy, great," Jeryll Cohen, a lawyer for her conservatorship, told the Daily News after the hour-long, closed-door hearing.
The pop princess wore a short peach-colored dress and matching pearls, but no sparkler on her left hand, TMZ.com reported.
Asked if the missing bling signaled a change in wedding plans for the betrothed bombshell, Cohen shook her head.
"Not to our knowledge," she said, "no, no."

Spears' engagement to former agent Jason Trawick was not a topic of discussion during the "routine" chat with the judge, Cohen told The News.
Spears' conservatorship started in 2008 after a downward spiral marked by Spears shaving her head in public and paramedics strapping her to a gurney ahead of an involuntary psychiatric hold.
The "Oops!...I Did It Again" singer climbed back from the brink with dad Jamie Spears at the helm and recently signed a reported eight-figure contract to join the "X-Factor" judge's panel alongside Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell.
Trawick popped the question last December and became one of her co-conservators in April.
They are legally allowed to marry while Spears is under the conservatorship, a source told The News.
Cohen said there are no immediate plans to end the court-ordered supervision of her affairs.
Spears left the Wednesday hearing out a back door, declining to speak with reporters.
Her Sept. 12 "X Factor" debut marks the first opportunity for fans to watch her in a completely unscripted TV role since her comeback.
"I'm excited. I think everybody is going to like it," Cohen said. "She's very funny."

Healthy Hollywood: Try It On Tuesday – Star Secrets To Breakout-Free Skin! 

  

Caption Yep, it’s true, even celebrities can be breakout stars. Britney Spears, Rihanna and baby-faced actor Zac Efron have all been spotted with bad skin days.

And, the hot days of summer can be your complexion’s worst enemy.

“Hot weather, salt water, humidity and chlorine take their toll on our skin during the summer months and because of this can disrupt the balance in the skin and may often result in breakouts on the face and body,” reveals celebrity esthetician, Renee Rouleau, who takes care of famous faces like Demi Lovato, Jessica Simpson and Access Hollywood Live favorite Lisa Rinna.

But, you don’t need a star salary to get rid of most breakouts. Renee, who also has the most amazing signature skincare line (Healthy Hollywood is a huge fan), shares a few basic tips.

“For those who suffer from back breakouts, avoid hair conditioner containing panthenol. Panthenol is well-known for its benefit for strengthening hair, but it’s also a potential pore clogger. It can cause breakouts on the back if hair conditioner is not rinsed out thoroughly. Exfoliate your back with a mild cleansing gel and exfoliating cloth three times a week and apply an anti-bacterial lotion to ensure a clear back all summer.”

Also, Renee suggests, “Blot, blot, blot: Although there is no miracle product to control the extra oil that you get during the summer months, there are ways to keep that shine under control. Oil blotting papers are great to use during the day to actually remove the oils off the skin to give you the feel of freshly washed skin. In a pinch? The Type of paper used for toilet seat covers in public restrooms is similar to expensive oil blotting papers.”

Who knew? Now, that’s what Healthy Hollywood calls a budget-friendly tip!

Renee shares with Healthy Hollywood a few more acne-fighting tips:

Skin Tip #1: Don’t over-dry your skin with harsh cleansers and alcohol-based toners. Most cleansers and toners, formulated for problem skin, are designed to dry out breakouts and so they contain strong detergents and alcohols. Drying out infected breakouts where active blemishes are present may be helpful for destroying acne-causing bacteria, but the harsh ingredients will dehydrate non-broken out areas resulting in dry skin cell buildup. This layer of dehydrated skin cells will trap oil and acne-causing bacteria under the skin, which will ultimately cause an increase in breakouts.

Skin Tip #2: Use oil-free moisturizers in the morning and at night. When breakouts occur we tend to avoid any and all moisturizing agents because moisturizers have a reputation of clogging pores. But did you know that NOT using a moisturizer can cause even more break outs? Bacteria breeds in oil so when moisturizer is avoided, the skin dehydrates and sets off a response to produce more oil. This newly produced oil accumulates on the skin, resulting in a breeding ground for bacteria, which makes existing breakouts last longer and leaves a hospitable environment for potential breakouts to form. The skin needs water not oil. Use an oil-free, water-soluble lotion to help keep your skin hydrated and balanced – with less blemishes.

Skin Tip #3: Use products containing Salicylic Acid. This ingredient is known for its ability to smooth the skin without causing irritation while it reduces acne-causing bacteria and oil. Salicylic acid helps to prevent blemishes and penetrates the pores to help clear out impurities. These properties not only help prevent acne, but salicylic acid is an excellent ingredient that also prevents blackheads after a deep pore cleansing facial. It’s a fabulous ingredient with proven results. During the summer months I recommend a cleanser that contains Salicylic Acid. Try, Renee Rouleau’s AHA/BHA Cleansing Gel. Treat skin during the day while preventing dirt and debris from getting into existing blemishes with a spot treatment like Daytime Blemish Gel.

Skin Tip #4: Avoid picking at the skin. While this tip may seem obvious, it is imperative that we understand that although breakouts cannot always be avoided, you CAN control what happens once you get the breakout. The truth of the matter is, a blemish usually lasts 5-7 days, but the red or dark scar from picking at the blemish, can linger for weeks—or even months.
