Jamie Spears talks about Britney

Jamie Spears has opened up about his famous daughter Britney and her tumultuous couple of years, saying his relationship with her is “wonderful.”

Britney’s dad stepped in and took over control of her life, including her finances, businesses and personal relationships, after she suffered a very public breakdown earlier this year.

In an interview with OK! magazine, Spears says, “We’ve grown a lot. I’ve been able to come back into my daughter’s life, and that was an adjustment anyway, because I’m an alcoholic and it’s the first time we’ve really been able to share.”

He reveals that Britney’s custody arrangement with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, includes the pop star having them on Monday, Wednesday and an overnight on Friday, with his company.

Spears also has nothing but praise for his daughter’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, saying, “Kevin has a wonderful heart. I don’t agree with giving him more money… He wants them to raise these kids together. Kevin’s heart is right.”

Additionally, he says that the turmoil in Britney’s life has brought them closer together explaining, “She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But, like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot.”

Las Vegas: Playground To The Stars

HEADLINE stars Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth, who are about to start an eight-week shoot of their new '21' movie all around Vegas, did "research" at the Playboy Club at the Palms.

Kevin took a quick walk through, but Kate stayed most of the night playing blackjack and enjoying Dom Perignon champagne and Grey Goose vodka at a reserved booth in the middle of the gaming lounge.

'21' is the true story of the Boston college students who created an infallible mathematical solution to beat Vegas casinos. Ironically, the Vegas gambling haunts that booted the real troublemakers from town are now hosting the movie maker stars! The cast is shooting at the Aladdin, Hard Rock and Red Rock using some of our city's real-life dealers.

Meanwhile across town...

Happy Birthday congratulations to Lisa-Marie Presley, who celebrated her 39th birthday bash over the weekend with mom Priscilla in tow and Roseanne Barr in the party group.

They dined at TAO and then hit the upstairs TAO nightclub watching all the dancing revelers from an upper-deck VIP skybox rather than in the VIP dance floor section. Next night, Priscilla and Lisa-Marie sat up until 2:30AM, sipping cocktails at Caramel ultra lounge in the Bellagio.

Elsewhere, to celebrate four sold out shows at the Luxor this weekend, comedian Artie Lange partied at the Hard Rock's Body English nightclub with co-producer Jeff Beacher and a flock of audience members they'd invited over from his last late show.

Partying with them was Wesley Snipes, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Laura Prepon, Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson to name just a few.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler Makes a Scene

Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn Sigler has a knack for picking the wrong guys. Her marriage to her older manager A.J. Discala barely lasted three years, and months later she started dating another older man - New York club owner Scott Sartiano.

Scott used to date Ashley Olsen and has been linked to such lovelies as Lindsay Lohan and Ashlee Simpson to name just a few (He likes 'em young and famous). Jamie-Lynn and Scott were in Sundance at the American Eagle party when they decided to leave and said goodnight to friends.

They were walking toward the exit of the VIP area when Scott's eye was caught by a knockout blonde who had just arrived. The blonde was described as an Eva Mendes lookalike, and Scott stopped DEAD in his tracks as Jamie was pulling him toward the door.

"I don't think I want to leave yet" he said, still STARING at the girl. Jamie couldn't help but notice his ogling, and she insisted "Come ON!" but Scott refused to budge. "Let's stay awhile."

The awkward moment then apparently attracted an audience as Jamie got more and more upset and hissed at Scott under her breath, trying to break the hypnotic spell he was under.

Finally she managed to snap him out of it and drag him away but not before she was publicly embarrassed. Man how much of a douche bag do you have to be to be with a gorgeous babe like Jamie-Lynn and yet still check out other women - and right in front of her!?! Seriouly, this girl can do soo much better.
