Less than 24 hours after it was discovered that a deal had been hammered out between the lawyers in the Britney Spears vs. Kevin Federline custody case that would allow the pop star supervised visits with her children, the little Federline lads came to pay mom a visit at her L.A. home.

Around 9 a.m. PT on Saturday, a Dodge truck carrying Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James entered Britney’s gated community, The Summit.

By noon, the boys were on their way back home to K-Fed. “They definitely had smiles on their faces after the visit,” one witness tells OK!.

Also inside the house during the visit were Brit’s father, Jamie Spears, a psychologist, one of Kevin’s bodyguard, the court-ordered monitor, and a lawyer. According to a source, the pop singer was not allowed to leave the common area of the house, where Jamie and the others could supervise, without the children.

This was the first time the boys have seen their mother since the Jan. 3 standoff with authorities that landed Britney in the hospital for several nights. Until this visit, she had only been allowed to speak with her children during short phone conversations.

With all the buzz surrounding her custody case, Britney Spears’ other legal issues seem to have fallen by the wayside. But on Friday a lawyer for the embattled pop star appeared on another one of Spears’ cases — driving without a valid license.

According to the A.P., Spears’ attorney, Michael Flanagan and prosecutor Michael Amerian appeared before a judge and said they had been unable to agree on what the law applies. They asked for more time and were given until Feb. 20.

Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman said if the two parties could not agree after that, the case would go to trial.

The case stems from an August incident in which Britney was videotaped bumping a car with her Mercedes as she was trying to park. She left the scene after checking out the damage to her own fender.

The owner of the other car later filed a police report and Britney was charged in September with both a midemeanor hit-and-run, and driving without a valid license. The hit-and-run charges were dismissed in October after Britney paid an undisclosed sum to the owner.

At the time of the accident, Britney was driving with a valid Louisiana state license but did not have a California state license. According to the law, a person who is ”domiciled” in California is required to get a California license. Britney did so within a week after the charges were filed.

”There’s no dispute about the facts here,” Flanagan said Friday. ”The dispute is about what the law is that’s appropriate to the facts.”

After a handful of headline-making weeks together, the romance between Britney Spears and her photographer boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has ended, OK! can confirm. Also, contrary to reports on various Web sites, OK! has learned that the pop star did NOT file a restraining order against her former shutterbug sweetheart.

Los Angeles Police Department officer Mike Lopez tells OK! esclusively that Brit “has never filed a police report against Adnan Ghalib nor has she requested a restraining order against him.”

Without Adnan by her side for one of the first times since their romance began shortly before Christmas, Britney was out and about, seeming to enjoy herself as she stopped by an L.A. Petco store to purchase $100 worth of goodies for her growing menagerie of pets at home.

“She was smiling from ear-to-ear,” one witness, who spotted Brit shopping with pal Sam Lutfi, tells OK!. And if you don’t believe the witnesses, take Britney’s word for it: “Today’s a good day,” she told a group of photographers. “I feel great. I’m so happy right now.”

Sunday night, Brit was shaking her stuff at North Hollywood’s Millennium Dance Complex, her favorite studio to rehearse at.

This development is a big change for Britney, who only last week was talking to friends about her desire to have a baby with Adnan. The pair was even photographed looking at pregnancy tests together at a Rite-Aid drugstore on Jan. 14.

The things people will do for publicity! Late last year, the producer of low-budget film Memoirs of a Medicated Child said that he had fired Lindsay Lohan from the production — a claim that was never substantiated — and that he was “in talks” with none other than Britney Spears, even though he’d never met the troubled star.

And now come further outrageous claims that this rookie filmmaker has actually tossed aside Britney from the film! However, says a friend of the singer, Britney has never been involved in any talks regarding this project. “She’s never heard of these guys before,” says the friend. “She gets offers all the time but isn’t interested in any at the moment. Everyone’s trying to make money off her name or by trying to be associated with her. It’s a false story.”

When reached for comment, the film’s producer Tommy S. Parker only served to muddy the waters further. “The rumors of Britney Spears not starring in the movie are false,” Parker tells OK! via e-mail. “We still are in negotiations and the possiblity of Britney still being in the movie remains the same.” As for the story — reportedly from his own publicist — that actress Samantha Falk had been cast to fill the role, Parker says, “Samatha Falk has been cast in the movie. Her involvement in the film does not affect the part we would like Britney to play.”

A Hollywood insider also tells OK! that firing Britney would actually be a stupid move for any filmmaker looking to make a splash. “She does nothing but make headlines right now,” the movie exec explains to OK!. “For some guy trying to garner whatever attention he can, she’d be worth putting up with whatever her problems are. At the very least, you’d make your money back on cable and DVD sales.”

A request for comment from Britney’s agent has not yet been answered.

Britney’s bizarre behavior was in full gear this weekend.

A run-down:

SATURDAY
Spears donned the same lacy Monique Lhuillier dress she wore to her 2004 wedding reception to Kevin Federline as she and her paparazzo beau, Adnan Ghalib, 35, hit a Keyes Mercedes-Benz dealership in Van Nuys, California.

Carrying two puppies, she and Ghalib then went mattress shopping at Maison Luxe in Manhattan Beach.

SUNDAY
Wearing daisy dukes, a T-shirt and high-top boots, Spears and Ghalib went shopping at a Santa Monica Rite Aid and a Designer Shoe Warehouse.

(The pop star, 26, is a fan of the convenience store. She went Christmas shopping there last year.)

They then lunched at Gaucho Grill in Studio City, California. They ordered $35 worth of grub, including sautéed mushrooms, a caprese salad, two orders of the beef empanadas, two orders of the spinach empanadas and two Pepsi sodas. They walked out holding hands.

Their lovefest continued at the Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks, California, where a witness tells Usmagazine.com, they held hands.

They went into See’s Candies and Macy’s. When an employee accidentally bumped into her, Spears sniped, “F–k you, b-tch,” leaving the saleswoman “speechless,” onlooker Kevin Watson tells Us.

(According to x17online.com , Spears left the department store in a mid-riff baring maroon knit-top she had just purchased.)

Her bad temper continued as she left when she was barraged by photographers.

“I’m f–king over it!” she yelled at the shutterbugs as they snapped her picture. “Get out of my god—n face!” (See video here.)

Spears is expected to show today at the latest custody hearing. (She recently lost visitation rights to her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, after her bizarre hospital stint.) L.A. Court Commissioner Scott Gordon will hear from police and rescue personnel from that trip today.

“You can’t phone this one in,” Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan told reporters of Spears. “She will have … to persuade the court that she can have some visitation.”

The last few days have been — to put it lightly — a whirlwind for Miss Britney Spears. And usually, when things get tense for the troubled pop star, her cousin and best friend Alli Sims is by her side.

However, witnesses are telling OK! that Brit’s best pal, who was at the singer’s house during the early hours of Thursday night’s standoff, is now 3,000 miles away in New York City, where Alli was spotted at Manhattan nightclub Tenjune.

“Alli came to New York to work,” a friend of Brit’s cousin explains to OK!. “She said she’s here for work and really busy.” And it looks like the stress of the whole Britney situation has gotten to Alli. “She’s not talking about Brit, but she’s obviously overwhelmed. People are calling and harassing her all day.”

Meanwhile, Britney’s mother Lynne was photographed in Kentwood, La., on Saturday morning, visiting the grave of her sister Sandra, who passed away in 2007 from breast cancer.

Paris Hilton has done it. Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie both (barely) did it. And then there’s Michelle Rodriguez, Kiefer Sutherland… Heck, this year it seems like just about every celebrity has spent a little time in the gray-bar hotel. And if Britney Spears continues her past behaviour in her ongoing custody dispute, sources tell OK! she may very well end up spending some time in lockdown herself.

OK! has confirmed with sources close to the ongoing custody war between Britney and ex-hubby Kevin Federline that the pop star is — once again — scheduled next week to be deposed by K-Fed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. However, as the 25-year-old mother of two has blown off over a half-dozen previously scheduled attempts at being deposed — including two depositions ordered by the court! — many insiders are convinced that she will be a no-show for this one as well. But considering the potentially dire consequences for Brit, she might want to think twice before oversleeping or calling in sick next week.

“She could go to jail for contempt of court if she refuses to show,” one legal eagle confirms to OK!. “That would be extreme for a child custody hearing, but not outside the realm of possibility.” More likely, explains the courtroom insider, K-Fed’s team could ask the court to impose monetary sanctions on Britney, who is already footing the bill for Kevin’s legal expenses!

As things stand right now, barring any more emergency hearings, lawyers for Britney and Kevin are not due back in court until February, with the final custody hearing expected to start April 9.

Britney Spears is taking her love for paparazzi attention to a new level!

Spears reportedly spent early Sunday morning in a Beverly Hills hotel room with a paparazzi photographer who regularly covers the troubled pop star.

According to reports, the pair was holed up in Spears’ room at the Peninsula Hotel until the wee hours of Sunday. The photographer, whose first name is Adnan, departed the hotel at 6 a.m. Sources say Spears left at around 9 a.m. and returned to her nearby home off Mulholland Drive.

But when contacted by Us, the photographer denied any romance, saying, “We are just friends. She was just a little upset, pretty much about everything.”

According to Splash News Online, Spears’ “wild date” began Saturday night with the photographer, who works for the Finalpixx photo agency, handing Spears his business card at a gas station after he heard she “liked” him. Soon after getting his card, Spears contacted him and, after meeting up, the pair was later spotted holding hands at a supermarket.

“After discussing the possibility of him coming into her house she said that her house was too dirty and that she would rather go to a hotel,” Splash reports. “So they changed cars and she went back to her house to freshen up while Adnan parked down the road and waited for her. She then came out in her car and they both drove to an L.A. hotel.”

As of Sunday afternoon, a source says Spears was at her Beverly Hills home with her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

With only days to go until Christmas, it appears that a grinch may have stolen Britney Spears’ holiday cheer, as the troubled pop star appears to be in the center of yet another downward spiral. But perhaps the newest man in her life can help her out of the hole she’s in.

The latest round of craziness began Saturday night when the singer, wearing the same turquoise top (sans bra) and jeans as the previous day, left her gated community at 7 p.m. and drove to a gas station where, in typical Brit fashion, she used the restroom, where witnesses overheard her unleashing a profanity-filled tirade at her friend Sam Lutfi over her cell phone. And when that unpleasant conversation came to an end, the “Toxic” singer decided to phone up a recording studio to book space. When she was given the bad news that there weren’t any rooms available, witnesses tell OK! she let loose on the poor receptionist, hollering through the phone, “I need a f**ing studio now. Don’t tell me you don’t know who I am. F*** you. I need it now, not tomorrow!”

Brit must have liked her experience at that gas station restroom as she visited two more quickie-mart toilets over the next hour! At one point, the mother of two invited a photographer named Phillipe to join her and her assistant in the car. The young man accepted the invite and spent the next hour or so in the backseat as Britney tooled aimlessly around L.A. in her Mini Cooper, blowing through red light after red light.

Eventually, the trio ended up at Malibu eatery Taverna Tony’s, where Phillipe was given the heave-ho from the car, and where Brit went inside to change into a red top. After a brief stop at the restaurant, the singer and her assistant asked Phillipe to take them to a Target store. And when he told her that Target was closed, she responded with, “I don’t care. Take me there anyway.”

Forget FAO Schwarz.

Britney Spears squeezed in a last minute holiday shopping spree at a West Hollywood Rite Aid on Friday.

Heading straight to the Christmas aisle, “she grabbed a cart and just started loading it up with stuff,” an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com of the pop singer, 26, who was with her new assistant.

What did she score?

A $29.99 giant stuffed horse, a sweatshirt, Christmas candy, a football and a box of Lucky Charms, as well as some other smaller toys. She loaded the goods into her car herself.

Spears, Us’ Worst Dressed Celeb of the Year, must’ve worked up an appetite.

Around 1:15 a.m., she hit Miyagi’s Japanese restaurant in West Hollywood, where she sat in the main bar area on the first floor to place her order.

Miyagi’s manager Gator Lee told Us: “The kitchen was closed so I informed her we could make her sushi. She asked for chicken and shrimp tempura.

“She asked me if I could get her lighter for her from her car, which I did,” Lee said. “When I got back, I offered to move her to a private room, but she didn’t want to move. She said, ‘I’m fine.’”

Bored while waiting, Spears wandered up to the third floor of the restaurant. “Everyone at the bar turned around and stared at her, but she didn’t seem to mind,” Lee said. “She smiled and seemed happy.”

Spears (who only drank water) took a few bites of her meal before having it wrapped up.

“She was real chill and just sat in the corner,” her server told Us of the singer, who had a meltdown this year. “I told her right before she was leaving, ‘Whatever doesn’t destroy you makes you stronger.’” She smiled and said, ‘I know.’”

On Saturday, Spears stayed home all day until around 8:20 p.m. when she popped by the Beverly Hills Hotel for 15 minutes. She then dined at Taverna Tony’s, a Greek restaurant in Malibu, with a female companion.

Still no word on how Spears will celebrate Christmas.
