Britney Spears Hires Hubby-Sitter

By: Shannon Gossage

A source close to Spears recently said, "The last thing Britney wants to do is accompany Kevin on all his tour dates. That’s why she hired a babysitter – a person who will keep Kevin from misbehaving and report directly back to her." Federline has been known to party – probably a little too much for Britney’s liking.

She reportedly made the decision to hire a minder after one of Spears’ favorite security guys quit. The ex-CIA agent named Richard allegedly quit because of Federline’s excessive partying. The source said, "Richard is a straight-laced guy, and he was upset with Kevin’s behavior. In order to get Richard back, Spears told him she’d "take care of the Kevin situation" if Richard would take care of her. Not surprisingly Federline balked at the idea of having a "babysitter," but Spears informed him that it "wasn’t up for negotiation."

In other Spears news, sources say that she may be expecting a girl this time around. She has allegedly been purchasing baby clothes specifically for a girl and has had one room in her home painted pink. Another source has said that Spears appears to be dealing with a bit of the baby blues during her second pregnancy. The reason for the blues is reportedly Federline. A friend of Spears said, "Britney sees now that Kevin is a loser." The friend went on to say that Spears was just lonely when she met Federline and said, "Her mistake was that Kevin is the type you fly around the world having a wild time with, not the one you marry and make babies with." Oops…guess she should’ve thought of that first.
