Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are close to finalizing a custody arrangement allowing them both time to spend with their sons during Spears's tour.

Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan tells E! News that an agreement can be reached in "probably the next day." Spears already has said sons Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, would be joining her on the road when her two-month Circus tour kicks off on March 3 in New Orleans.

So how will visitation work on the road?

Spears will probably see her boys on "pretty much the same schedule that she has now," Kaplan tells E!. (Federline, 30, has primary custody of the boys, but Spears, 27, has nearly 50-50 access to them in visitation rights.)

"Kevin is working to make them accessible by going on various central locations in various areas of the country," says Kaplan. "He is doing that because he wants her to be able to have the maximum positive environment around her to assure that the tour will be successful."

Kaplan adds: "I don't think the kids will be at venues. They will be available in her life when she is done with the rigors of performing."

As for whether Federline's girlfriend, Victoria Prince, a onetime professional volleyball player, will be traveling with her beau, "I don’t even know if they know yet," Kaplan tells E!, adding that Prince, 26, "is a very solid person, and they are really great together. She is very solid, responsible, and has a very positive effect."

A lawyer for Spears wasn't immediately available for comment.

Adele and Estelle have been added to the Grammy Awards growing list of performers.

The British singers were included in the latest round of A-listers now confirmed to play the show on Sunday.

They will join U2, Paul McCartney, Radiohead and Justin Timberlake in performing at the annual show.

Adele is up for four gongs at the ceremony including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Estelle will be on stage alongside hip hop grandee Kanye West.

Coldplay, Katy Perry, Jonas Brothers and Jennifer Hudson are also down to perform.

The 51st annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 8 at Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

Released this past September, and now available on DVD and on Blu-Ray is this film based on the award-winning novel by Sue Monk Kidd, which was on the 'New York Times' best-seller list for two years -- selling over 4.7 million copies.

Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, 'Bees' stars Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys, Paul Bettany, Hilarie Burton, Nate Parker and Tristan Wilds.

Set in South Carolina in 1964, the film is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning), a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past.

Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna.

Grossing a profitable $37.7 million dollars from a budget of $11 million, the film's DVD includes a director's extended cut of the film featuring never-before-seen footage, deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes cast and crew commentary and more.

The film is nominated for several NAACP Image Awards, including one for Best Picture.

Doing a film on black soldiers during WWII, in 'Miracle at St. Anna,' wasn't enough for director Spike Lee. The Hollywood Reporter states that Lee and his company, 40 Acres and a Mule, has acquired rights to Brendan Koerner's 'Now the Hell Will Start,' the true story of a black private who went native in a Southeast Asia jungle during the war. Penguin Press published the book last summer.

In this astonishing thriller, Koerner tracks the story of Pvt. Herman Perry, a soldier from Washington, D.C., who, after shooting a commanding officer, goes AWOL and becomes assimilated into tribal community.

'Miracle at St. Anna,' which stars Michael Ealy, Derek Luke, Omar Benson Miller and Laz Alonso will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on Feb. 10th.

Bobby Brown and his girlfriend of two-and-a-half years, manager Alicia Etheridge, are expecting their first child together, he confirms to Didntinviteme.

"I'm really excited about my new addition to my family," says Brown, who plans to celebrate his 40th birthday, as well as his recent sobriety, with family and friends on Thursday in Los Angeles.

"We're excited because he's in a good place – he's sober and he's very happy," adds Brown's attorney, Phaedra Parks "And I'm happy for Alicia and Bobby as well."

Brown, who bitterly split with Whitney Houston in 2006, has a 15-year-old daughter with Houston. He also has two children with ex-girlfriend Kim Ward and a son with ex-girlfriend Melika Williams. This will be Etheridge's first child.

From Baywatch bombshell to sultry campaign model, Pamela Anderson is the latest star to grace cheeky ads for British designer Vivienne Westwood. The designer first met the bombshell at her runway show during London Fashion Week in September 2008, as Pamela sat front row in a barely-there gold lurex dress from Vivienne’s Gold label. When it came time to choose the face of her spring collection, Vivienne immediately thought of Pamela — and the rest is fashion history. Teaming up with legendary photographer Juergen Teller for the fourth season, the campaign was shot in and around Pamela’s trailer in Malibu. Pamela, Vivienne and Andreas Kronthaler, Vivienne’s husband and creative partner, model fashions from Westwood’s Gold, Red, Anglomania and MAN label as well as the accessories range. Photographs of the advertising campaign will be published as a coffee-table book and will start appearing in this month in magazines worldwide. Tell us: What do you think of Pamela Anderson’s Vivienne Westwood ad?

Despite being dogged in the press for the amount of absences she had during her Broadway run in 'The Color Purple,' We have has learned exclusively that season three 'American Idol' winner Fantasia will return to the Oprah Winfrey-produced musical.
Beginning this summer, Fantasia will resume her role as Celie and embark on a three month run with the show, kicking off at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC on June 30.

She will also play dates with 'The Color Purple' when the show travels to Chicago and Atlanta as well.
A rep for the production would not confirm the casting news.
"I don't know anything about it, so I can not confirm this story," offered publicist Linda Stewart of It Is Done Communications.

Though news of Fantasia's return is apparently being kept under wraps – well, until now -- I'm told the producers of the show are eager to see the High Point, North Carolina native return to the production.
My source told me that the negative attention Fantasia received by the 'New York Post' in December of 2007 for missing 50 shows was unwarranted because the 24-year-old star single-handedly "made a truck load of money for that show."
(Incidentally, one-named actress LaChanze, who originated the character and won a Tony Award for playing Celie, missed more than 40 days during her year-long stint with the show.)
When it was announced that Fantasia would star in 'The Color Purple' on Broadway, the show based on Alice Walker's novel made more than $2 million in presale tickets before she even made her debut in April of 2007.

Though she originally only committed to a six month run on the Great White Way, Fantasia was asked to extend her contract because the $11 million production continued to sellout and make gobs of money during her tenure.
Fantasia left the show in January of 2008 and the show closed more than a month later after playing more than 900 shows and making $103 million.

In March of 2008, the day after performing at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party, Fantasia's doctor had discovered what she called in a recent interview a "throat tumor" on her vocal chord.

Since the condition had gone undetected for so long, Fantasia was told she may never sing again.
The physician further explained that the tumor was the reason she had been fatigued for months while doing 'The Color

Purple' and the grueling Broadway schedule had increased the severity of the polyp.
Fantasia's surgery was ultimately a success.

The couple celebrated their birthdays with a joint bash at their Beverly Hills house Saturday.

The party kicked off around 8 p.m., with many guests partying in the backyard, where deejay Samantha Ronson, who brought along girlfriend Lindsay Lohan, spun her own mix for the birthday pair.

According to a partygoer, "This is their first big party together as a married couple. [Ellen] and Portia seem very excited to have all their friends here."

Those pals included Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette and husband David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Guest were served a vegan dinner. Mindy Weiss, who also planned DeGeneres and de Rossi's wedding, coordinated the party.

Jennifer Hudson made her first foray back into public life with an emotional performance of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl Sunday – and now she has signed on to sing at the 40th NAACP Image Awards on Feb 12.

Hudson, 27, got a standing ovation after her rousing performance in Tampa, her first public appearance since her mother, brother and nephew were murdered in Chicago in October.

Hudson's next performance will be Friday, Feb. 6 at the 2009 MusiCares Foundation gala, two days before she sings at the 51st annual Grammys where she is nominated for four awards.

Next up, the Dream Girls star, who received two NAACP Image Award nominations (for The Secret Life of Bees and her album Jennifer Hudson) will perform at the NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles. The show, to be aired on FOX at 8 p.m. ET, will be co-hosted by Halle Berry and Tyler Perry.

Michael Phelps has apologized after a controversial photo that apparently shows him inhaling from a marijuana pipe was published in a British newspaper Sunday.

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment," the all-time Olympic swimming champ said Sunday in a statement released by his marketing agency, Octagon.

"I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

The photo published in News of the World and his admission are not likely to affect Phelps's eligibility to compete, though it remains to be seen what this could mean to his millions of dollars in endorsement deals.

The U.S. Olympic Committee also issued a statement Sunday. It said: "We are disappointed in the behavior recently exhibited by Michael Phelps.
 Michael is a role model, and he is well aware of the responsibilities and accountability that come with setting a positive example for others, particularly young people.

"In this instance, regrettably, he failed to fulfill those responsibilities. 
Michael has acknowledged that he made a mistake and apologized for his actions. 
We are confident that, going forward, Michael will consistently set the type of example we all expect from a great Olympic champion."

When he was 19, in 2004, just before winning six gold medals and two silvers at the Athens Olympics, Phelps also swam into hot water – and pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge. He also apologized at the time.

While Red Bull Energy Drink has always supported driver from NASCAR, MotoGP, Formula One and athletes from Major League Soccer and individual action sports athletes, they've never supported athletes from the NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB – until now. Red Bull announced that they have partnered with New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush.

"Like a lot of professional athletes, I've been drinking Red Bull for years - it keeps me focused during training and is my favorite when I'm out with friends," Bush said in a statement. "Red Bull is fun, young, and energetic, and is also extremely passionate about sports - just like me. So joining the Red Bull team was a no-brainer."

Bush joins Olympic Beach Volleyball gold medalists Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser, Motocross Champion James Stewart, X Games Champion Shaun White, and World Record holder Robbie Maddison among others on the Red Bull roster.

After three seasons airing on the CW Network, My Favorite comedy sitcom 'The Game' will be switching playing fields to BET. Well, sort of.

According to 'Variety,' the basic cable network recently acquired off-net rights to the comedy series from CBS TV Distribution and will begin re-airing episodes from the show's first two seasons this month.

The sitcom, which stars Tia Mowry Hardrict, Brittany Daniel, Hosea Chanchez, Coby Bell, Wendy Raquel Robinson, and Pooch Hall is the first series acquired by newly appointed BET executive Vice President of acquisitions, Barbara Daniels.

"This is something I went after the minute I got to BET," she noted. "Not only does it have really fresh African American stars, but it has a great lineup of guest stars. People like Robin Givens and Vivica Fox -- these are people who are regularly on our network."

In addition to 'The Game' finding another home on television, actress Stacey Dash will also join the popular CW series for their forthcoming third season as a recurring cast member.

The 'Clueless' star revealed to us that she will play the role of a sportscaster who hangs "around with all the athletes and talking to them like she's one of the guys, except that she's a woman. She has this huge attraction to Jason and I guess they both have an attraction and chemistry."

BET Networks also has the rights to the third season, which is currently set to air on the CW this fall.

This is one birthday Justin Timberlake won't soon forget.

Jessica Biel, 26, threw her singer beau a Super Bowl-themed surprise birthday party in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's ultra-exclusive penthouse on Sunday afternoon.

"Justin was totally blown away when he walked in. He had no idea," says a source.

On hand were close to 100 friends and family of the couple, including both of their parents, Biel's brothers, Timberlake's cousins and his best friend Trace Ayala, who joined the happy pair to toast Timberlake turning 28.

The penthouse was transformed with flat-screen televisions brought in especially for the festivities, and the party feasted on gourmet buffalo wings, pizza, mini sliders and red velvet cupcakes.

Biel planned the party down to every last detail, and visited the hotel to make sure everything would be just perfect, says the source.

And she was the perfect hostess. Wearing a little black cotton dress and flats, Biel worked the room while taking breaks to sit with Timberlake.

"They held hands and relaxed," says a guest. "They seemed very happy together."

In a statement that the star of 'Two Can Play That Game' and 'Soul Food' sent via e-mail late Monday night, she declared: "Vivica A. Fox is no friend of The Psychic Friends Network."

Fox is alleging that the footage circulating online "is using her unauthorized likeness, footage, voice and photographs as an endorsement of their service."

Additionally, the actress is demanding that The Psychic Friends Network "cease and desist immediately" with use of the video and images.

Details about why the video was shot or how the images were obtained by The Psychic Friends Network were not explained.
The 44-year old actress most recently starred on Larry David's HBO series 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'

She also stars in the DVD release 'Private Valentine: Blonde & Dangerous' opposite Jessica Simpson, which hit stores this week.
Last year, the South Bend, Indiana native hosted a reality series for VH1 called 'Glam God with Vivica A. Fox.'
In the early 1990s, The Psychic Friends Network was a telephone psychic service hosted by Dionne Warwick that offered a call-in service where viewers could call psychics for $3.99 a minute.

The parent company, Inphomation, took in profits of over $100 million within the first few years of the Network's operation.
In 1998, profits for The Psychic Friends Network had plummeted substantially and the company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy before ultimately closing.

It's off to the circus for Britney Spears's children.

The pop star took to her blog Monday to knock down a report that her upcoming two-month tour was in trouble because of a snag over whether she could travel with her two boys.

"Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour," says Spears's blog.

Spears ex, Kevin Federline, 30, has primary custody of the boys, ages 3 and 2, but Spears has nearly 50-50 access to them in visitation rights.

Her Circus tour kicks off March 3 in New Orleans and ends April 28 in Chicago. Spears, 27, says she spent the weekend lounging by the pool checking out sketches of costumes.

"Britney is so excited to kick off her tour," her blog says. "She has been enjoying every moment of rehearsals and is looking forward to performing in front of a live audience again."

Spears also revealed more details about the tour, including a description of the elaborate stage patterned off a three-ring circus with multiple acts taking place at the same time.

"It's sexy, fun, explosive, and full of surprises," says designer Jamie King. "While avoiding such traditional circus elements as live animals, we've created something innovative and exciting using contortionists, dancers, lighting, fire and other special effects."

n her first public appearance since the tragic murders of her mother, brother and nephew last October, Oscar winner and Grammy nominated star Jennifer Hudson gave a stunning performance of the National Anthem before Super Bowl XLIII on Sunday, February 1st.
