No mother should have to worry about something like this.
Britney Spears is fearful that Kevin Federline could use her two sons as leverage to get the massive increase in child support he's requesting.
"Britney is extremely agitated and extremely concerned that Kevin is going to no longer allow her to see their children because he has sole custody as retribution for not agreeing to the $40,000 in child support payment, which would be a $20,000 increase from what he is getting now,†a source told Us Weekly.
The former backup dancer has four other kids and only makes approximately $3000-a-month from DJ'ing, and he wants his payments from the pop princess tripled, but her camp is fighting back.
"Britney’s father, Jamie, had signed off on a modest increase of $25,000, but demanded a monthly accounting of how that money was being spent. Kevin has four other children from previous relationships, and it’s not Britney’s responsibility to pay for their care," the insider explained.
Brit Brit, her dad, and her lawyers can't see how $20K-a-month isn't covering the costs for Sean, 12, and Jayden, 11, seeing as how the singer is the one coughing up the dough for the big expenses.
"All of Preston and Jayden’s expenses are paid for while they are with Kevin, from schooling, clothes, insurance... There is nothing that Kevin has to pay for. Nothing has changed in the care Britney has given the kids and Kevin has acknowledged what a great mom she is … Lost in all of this is the kids, they are the ones caught in the middle," the source added.

Maybe she should give Ben Affleck's lady love Lindsay Shookus some pointers?
Brad Pitt is still clean and sober, and he's found a good influence to keep him on his path of sobriety in girlfriend Neri Oxman, Radar reports.
"Brad is sober right now, and Neri would not date him if he was drinking or using,†a source dished to the site, noting that she's "extremely supportive" of his recovery.
The MIT professor is a big proponent of clean living herself.
"She is about as straight-laced as they come, and is a huge health fanatic too. Neri is a firm believer that people should not put anything into their bodies that does not belong. She is very against drugs and has been a great influence on Brad," the source added.
This must make Angie want a big glass of pinot noir!

Dear Lord, how much bad ink can one person get?!
Ben Affleck hopped out of his ride to pump some gas yesterday, and he accidentally gave us a glimpse of his girly dolphin hip tattoo! Honestly, did he get this when he was still drinking? The only thing that could make it worse would be if it was on his lower back.
Speaking of, the Batman star has been mercilessly mocked on social media over the colored phoenix rising from the ashes tat that covers his whole back, and we can see why. At one point he tried to lie and say it was fake and just for a movie, but clever fans called his bluff when years later, he was still rocking the same body art.
Getting laser removal for a tiny butterfly or heart is one thing, but it might be kinda hard for Dr. Tatoff to wipe this slate clean! You know how they say you should never get anything that you wouldn't want when you're 80-years-old? Yeah, poor Ben didn't get the memo!
Kim, Kanye, and the rest of the Kardashian clan put their smarts to the test on an upcoming episode of Celebrity Family Feud, and if you didn't already know this, the rapper is pretty competitive!
Kimye and Yeezy's three cousins made up one team, as they competed against Kris Jenner, Khloe, Kendall, and Kris' mom Mary Jo, as well as Jonathan Cheban.
The game show host discussed what it was like having them on during a recent appearance on Ellen.
"They were supposed to play against the Paris Hilton family, the Hiltons against the Kardashians. The Hiltons cancelled so Kanye, who’s a big fan of Family Feud said, ‘I want to play.' So, he brought his family -- people you don’t know, these cousins. They were just the best because they were just, like, hood. The dude on the end, he was the extra. He was a lot,†Harvey said of Cheban. Burn!
"Kanye was the best Family Feud celebrity panelist we’ve ever had on the show. He loves the show,. His people said, ‘Steve, this is the most Kanye has ever smiled since we’ve been working for him.’ Kanye smiled! When I introduced him, he smiled. Tune in and you’ll see Kanye smiling," he added.
He also dissed Kimmy K's performance! "Kim didn’t know nothing!†he quipped.
Whatever happened to just a good ol' fashioned vase?!
Kim Kardashian went big by sending pal Chrissy Teigen this giant ball-shaped floral arrangement as a push present, after the Sports Illustrated stunner gave birth to baby boy Miles, and the supermodel couldn't resist gushing over the gift on social media.
"Joey Lawrence WHOA â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ @kimkardashian thank you!! Going to open a potpourri business in about one week taking orders now!" she captioned a photo of daughter Luna standing next to the blooms.
Somebody she probably won't be getting roses from? President Donald Trump!
The POTUS famously blocked John Legend's wifey on Twitter back in July after she trolled him endlessly for months, but a judge just ruled that the Commander-in-Chief can no longer block users, as it violates their First Amendment rights to free speech. Let the insults continue to fly!
She's easily one of the funniest people on the Internet these days!

This just gets more and more unbelievable.
Khloe Kardashian has forgiven Tristan Thompson for cheating on her throughout her pregnancy, and now she wants to make things official and tie the knot with her baby daddy. Oh yeah, because that will guarantee he will stay faithful... not!
"She seems happier and happier every day. She wants her family to be together. She keeps Tristan on a short leash. He has been very apologetic," a source told People, noting that the reality star "feels very good" about her decision to stay in Cleveland with her partner and their new daughter.
Whatever he's doing is clearly working, because now she wants him to put a ring on it!

He doesn't seem half bad!
Ben Affleck helped son Samuel warm up by tossing around the baseball with him before his little league game yesterday, and although he's nowhere near as good as his beloved Red Sox stars, the actor looks like he has pretty good form.
The A-list star has been looking after the kids while ex Jen Garner puts in long hours on the set of Lena Dunham's new show Camping, and it doesn't leave a lot of time for romance.
In fact, the Hollywood heartthrob's relationship with mistress-turned-girlfriend Lindsay Shookus has cooled off in recent weeks, and insiders tell us although they're still together, they're going through a rough patch.
A source tells X17:
"Ben really does love Lindsay, and she's crazy about him. The problem is that she's based in NYC with her work and her daughter, and his whole life is in LA. They've been doing the bicoastal thing, but recently Ben has been having trouble seeing how things will work out in the long term. Neither of them can just up and move, and eventually in any relationship, the distance becomes a problem. She's been trying to reassure him that they'll find a solution, but he has withdrawn a little emotionally to protect himself in case things come to an end."
He might not be so great at love, but he is great at fatherhood!

Hang ten, bro! Isn't that what the kids are saying these days?
Liam Hemsworth spent yesterday morning surfing in Malibu with pals, and the Aussie hunk took a pretty epic wipeout on one of the waves! The Pacific is still a little cold this time of year, so unfortunately for us he covered up his hot bod with a wetsuit.
Athletic genes clearly run in the family!
The Thor actor recently posted the below pic of himself with his parents on a hike, and fans couldn't believe how ripped and young his dad looked.
There have been all types of rumors flying around about the beefcake and his lady love Miley Cyrus, so we've rounded them up for you. First, reports claim they're secretly married already and planning to move to Australia to raise a family. Other outlets are saying that they're looking into buying a private island so they can live in seclusion and privacy, and still others claim they're on the rocks. So which one is it?
