Britney says she’s doing the best she can
Britney Spears was on Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show Wednesday to talk about her new album – and her life as a mom. Asked if she’s been upset with recent coverage of her battle with Kevin Federline over their children, and criticism of her as a mother, Spears answered, “People say what they want and do what they do. It’s sad how people…how cruel our world can be. But at the end of the day you gotta know in your heart that you are doing the best you can.” When Seacrest asked if she is doing her best with her sons, Spears said, “Oh god, yeah, yeah.” The singer was on the air to promote her new album Blackout, which hit stores Tuesday. She said her big day “was kind of laidback, really,” and that she didn’t celebrate. “No, we watched movies, that’s about it.” As for her favorite track on the album, she said, “I really like ‘Heaven on Earth.’ I think it’s a cool track. It’s kind of different from all the other songs.” When asked if she was having a romance with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Spears, who was on speakerphone with her pals Alli Sims and Sam Lufti, answered, “Who?”
Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong??!!
New couple alert? Ashley Olsen has a new, older man. The 21-year-old showed up to the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel Monday night with Lance Armstrong, 36. A bar spy said, “They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m.” Another insider said, “Ashley and Lance settled in and within minutes, he was whispering in her ear and she was giggling like a schoolgirl. They totally looked like they were on a date.”

Britney’s visitation rights reduced
Britney Spears has not regained shared custody of her sons. In a ruling stemming from the October 26 custody hearing between Spears and ex Kevin Federline, LA court commissioner Scott M. Gordon granted the popstar just two daytime visits a week, plus an overnight visit. Additionally, Gordon denied Spears’s attorney’s request to stop the singer’s twice-weekly drug tests, ordering that she will have to continue the random tests in order to maintain her visitation rights. In last Friday’s hearing, a court-appointed parenting coach, Lisa Hacker, reported that when they are with their mother, Sean Preston and Jayden James have no real schedule or routine. Hacker explained, “The environment in the house ranges from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all… During all three of my visits, [Spears] rarely engaged with the children in conversation or play.” Hacker also noted, however, that Spears’s parenting lapses are nothing she “would characterize as abusive in a traditional sense.” The court order said that Hacker on three different days “made attempts to meet with [Spears] in order to comply with the Court’s orders. [Spears] failed to meet with Hacker on those occasions.” In light of Hacker’s report, the court also ordered that Spears must get her homes childproofed by November 2, meet with coach Hacker for two hours every week, and ensure that Sean and Jayden are properly secured in child safety seats whenever she drives with them. These orders are in addition to those set forth on September 17, and will remain in effect until further notice.
