Britney Spears is courting to reclaim her kids. Sources close to the “Gimme More” singer confirm to E! News that Spears will appear in court Wednesday morning to ask a court commissioner to restore her visitation rights for her sons withKevin Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James. The emergency hearing was called by Spears’ attorneys at the behest of the 26-year-old entertainer and will come two days after she finally showed up for a deposition in her long-playing custody dispute with Federline. The next scheduled court date for the former wasn’t until Feb. 19. Spears is expected to attend the 8:30 meeting along with manager Sam Lutfi, who accompanied her to the Monday session. Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon stripped Spears of visitation rights after she refused to return the boys at the prescribed time back on Jan. 3, leading to a tense standoff with police and, ultimately, her forced hospitalization. The children, who remain in the care of Federline, 29, have not seen their mom since. According to TMZ, Spears will seek monitored visits with the boys in a “therapeutic setting.” Meanwhile, Spears is expected to continue being deposed by Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan in the coming days. Speaking to reporters on Monday evening, Kaplan said that he questioned Spears for about 40 minutes, even though she was present in his office for over two hours. “We are going over things that are very, very gut-wrenching,” Kaplan told People. “It’s not something anyone would enjoy.” Asked by Access Hollywood if he believed Spears would be able to see her children soon, the attorney said, “There are certain things that have to be done by her in order to make everyone comfortable—and to answer any unresolved questions so that we don’t have to worry about anything that occurred a few weeks ago. “She is not the enemy. She is not being viewed as the enemy, and what is being done, even though it may be unpopular with her, is to make sure that she can be a full participant going forward in the future.”
Heidi Montag really is really living the American dream. She’s just a small-town girl from Colorado making it big on the blogs and getting the Maxim cover she’s dreamed of ever since the boys in high school called her a surfboard. It must be so awesome to be her!
This Maxim shoot isn’t all about the slutty pictures, though. Heidi’s got some things to say. Important things like L.C. has gone Hollywood and is “a big diva now.”
Somehow getting a nose job, breast implants, recent lip plumping and looking to parlay minor reality stardom into a viable singing career does not seem Hollywood to her.
And about the whole plastic surgery thing, Heidi has this to say:
It’s funny. Almost everyone on the show has had some kind of surgery. They were saying malicious things about me, and I was like, “You guys are hypocrites—trying to make me look bad when you’ve done things to yourselves!”
Juicy! Excuse us while we begin comparing before-and-after shots of Lauren…
Remember Britney’s paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib? You know, the one who traveled with her to Mexico, escorted her on countless Starbucks runs and even hit her local Rite Aid to check out home pregnancy tests?
Well, apparently she doesn’t.
Fellow paparazzi quizzed Brit about her relationship this weekend when they caught up with her at the Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood.
When asked, “Do you have something to tell Adnan,” she replied, “I don’t know who that is…I’ve never met him before,” all in her mock British accent.
Granted, the two haven’t been spotted together in the past few days and rumors of a restraining order against Adnan were reported by a rival agency.
But Brit’s maybe man has an explanation, which he conveniently posted on the Website of his photo agency, FinalPixx:
“All I can say is I have not been in contact with Britney since early Friday morning. The reason being that I have had to attend a family funeral in Santa Barbara.”
The photog goes on to say his phone has been off out of respect for his family members, and he hopes to get back in touch with “Miss Spears” when he gets back to town.
So, whom to believe? One of Brit’s split personalities or a grieving celebrity photographer?
Don’t ask us to decide. We’re gonna hold off for now on calling this relationship over. Given Brit’s track record, she could be announcing her engagement as early as this afternoon.
My day started yesterday at about 8 a.m.There was no time for breakfast, but I was able to down a quick cup of coffee before heading to the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge to interview Emily Blunt about her new movie Sunshine Cleaning. (The movie, costarring Amy Adams and about two sisters who open a crime-scene cleaning company, is one of the most buzzed about flicks of the festival). I’ll have more of my chat with Ms. Blunt later this week, but I must tell you that she revealed something quite, um, big about her singer boyfriend, Michael Bublé. When one of her posse handed her a box of size XL condoms from Proper Attire, she laughed, “These will be good for Michael.” 
I finally grabbed something to eat at the MySpace Café at the Lift, where Tom Arnold barreled in and quickly explained why he was so, well, wet. “I’m a sweater,” Arnold said while wiping his forehead with a napkin before taking off for a ski-lift interview with David Carr of the New York Times. “I sweated when I was on cocaine, and I’m still sweating when I’m off cocaine.”I walked across the street to the Reaction suite and In Touch café, where Colin Hanks was spotted sipping Divine Chocolate Hot Cocoa. Paris Hilton was in the night before when the space became the nightly Park City outpost of New York City nightclub Stereo. She actually showed up between the parties for the Woody Harrelson flick Transsiberian and the launch of An Amiga, a Facebook-like Website for dogs. Yes, dogs! 
“Paris just walked in and sat down,” an eyewitness told me. “There was no music, and the lights were fully on. She just waited for the party to start.” Hilton ended up partying till 6 a.m. at the 5W Escape House. My fellow party hopper Cristina Gibsonand I both heard that she spent much of the time making out with Simon Rex. (Kim Kardashian was also at 5W, swapping spit with boyfriend Reggie Bush in the Lifestyles condoms booth.)
The Post was not able to acquiesce to Holmes’s publicist’s requests — especially that the celeb not be asked about a certain Los Angeles-based church. Several publications apparently agreed to this condition, but not us. Until it fell to pieces, we were prepared to go for broke with the following questions . . .- We have a guest bedroom and bathroom in our apartment, almost zero neighborhood paparazzi, and the fridge is full of diet sodas and healthy snacks. You could stay as long as you like, and we promise not to tell a soul. Would you like to leave with us right now?(Note: Ask again, offering her the option of just blinking twice if the answer is yes.)- How much cash do you have on you, at this moment? Could you break a 50? (It’s related to the movie!)- You just told David Letterman that your 2-year-old daughter — her name is Suri, right? — always sleeps from 11 p.m. until 9 a.m., uninterrupted, every night. Other than a crack staff of nannies, we’re sure our readers with young children want to know: What’s your secret?- Did you feel all totally Juno, getting pregnant and giving birth before you got married? When did you decide to keep your baby? When did you tell Dawson that it was (allegedly) Tom’s?
After weeks of back-and-forthing between our people and hers, the Style section regrets that we blew our chance to sit down with Katie Holmes in New York last week to talk about her new film, “Mad Money.” (The one where she, Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah make like D.C. property tax office managers and steal piles and piles of cash — buthilariously.)
