Spears' young sons visit her home
According to People magazine, the singer's sons, two-year-old Preston and one-year-old Jayden, were taken to her studio home yesterday by her ex-husband Kevin Federline's bodyguard.
The children reportedly spent three hours in the company of their mother on the latest visit.
The two boys had previously visited their mother on Saturday, which was the first time Spears had seen her sons since 3 January, when they were placed in the sole custody of their father.
Spears and Federline have reportedly worked out a "structured visitation arrangement", according to the report.

Franz Ferdinand Delay New Album Release Until 2009
Franz Ferdinand's as-yet-untitled new album won't be released until next January at the earliest, frontman Alex Kapranos has revealed.
Kapranos said that the band still had “quite a bit of mixing to do” on the record, which was originally due to be released this year.
The announcement comes just days after the band played to 150 people at the Macbeth in East London.
Franz Ferdinand used the gig to preview a number of new songs, many of which are expected to appear on the album.
Speaking to BBC 6Music, Kapranos also revealed that the band were having problems choosing a title for the record.
“We were gonna call it 'Bite Hard' at one point because there was a song called 'Bite Hard' and we weren’t gonna use that as a song, but liked the phrase,” he said.
“It’s quite suggestive but apparently in the States if you say something ‘bites’ it means it sucks, so if something bites hard, it sucks really badly. So we thought; ‘No we’ll choose another title.’”

'Brokeback' story to become opera
New York City Opera has commissioned American composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," a love story about two ranch-hands that won three Oscars when it was turned into a movie.
The opera house's spokesman Gerard Mortier said in a statement that Wuorinen had accepted an invitation to compose an opera based on Annie Proulx's short story. It is slated to premiere during City Opera's 2013 spring season.
This would mark New Yorker Wuorinen's second world premiere at City Opera. He also composed "Haroun and the Sea of Stories," an adaptation of a Salman Rushdie novel which opened in 2004.
"Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story I have wanted to make an opera on it, and it gives me great joy that Gerard Mortier and New York City Opera have given me the opportunity to do so," Wuorinen, 70, said in a statement.
"Brokeback Mountain" is the story of two men who meet and fall in love on the fictional Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming in 1963 with their complex relationship lasting 20 years.
The story was made into a film in 2005 which won three Oscars. The late Australian actor Heath Ledger, who died in January this year of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs at the age of 28, was nominated for an Oscar for his role.

Dozens of Musicians Jazz Up Crystal's Fall Mexican Riviera Cruise
Kanye West, record labels sued over jazz samples
The lawsuit, filed by Kathleen Firrantello in the U.S. District Court in New York, names the rappers and Island Def Jam Music Group and its label Roc-A-Fella Records, Universal Music Group, its labels Interscope Records, Geffen Records and A&M Records and its parent company Vivendi.
None of the record companies or representatives for the rappers were immediately available for comment.
The lawsuit said all the rappers used portions of Farrell's 1974 musical composition "Upon This Rock" in three separate songs -- West in "Gone," Common in "Chi-City" and Method Man and Redman in their song "Run 4 Cover."
Firrantello is seeking punitive damages of at least $1 million and asked that no further copies of the songs be made, sold or performed, according to the lawsuit.

Katie Holmes Gets Ready For Broadway
The 29-year old has left behind husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri in Hollywood as she prepares for her role in New York’s theatreland.
A source tells The Mail that cast members are in awe of her profession dedication: “She's doing anything up to 12 hour days.”
”It's the biggest role of her life and Tom is helping her every step of the way.”
"Tom plans on bringing Suri to New York as much as he can so they can all be together,” adds the source. “He'll be back and forth to L.A. He's working on stuff too.”
Katie will be onstage six nights a week, and will co-star along stage and screen veteran John Lithgow.
Will Britney be in the audience getting Broadway tips?
Emmy Awards - Two Emmy Groups May Face Off Again
Raising the possibility of a new set-to between the two organizations that hand out
Emmy Awards, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), the group
that hands out Emmys for daytime, news, documentaries, sports shows, and engineering
announced today (Friday) that it plans to launch "a new Global Media Awards program
focused on technology and content programming" with the Consumer Electronics Association
to take place at the CES convention in Las Vegas in January. Conspicuously absent
from the announcement was any mention of the word "Emmy." Last year an arbitration
panel sided with the West Coast Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS), ruling
that NATAS could not hand out Emmys created for broadband. As a result, NATAS was
compelled to hand out what it called "special awards" in 13 broadband content categories
during its "Tech Emmys" presentation at the CES last January. The Global Media Award
will presumably require the creation of a substitute trophy.
