Does anyone else feel uneasy? Two stories in two days about how things seem to sort of be going in Britney Spears’ favour – doesn’t this mean that, to redress the cosmic balance, an African village has to fall into the sea or something?

Apparently Britney Spears spent her yesterday getting her first chance to spend time with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James since a judge tugged custody of them out from underneath her recently. True, it’s been reported that Britney Spears spent her time with the kids monitored by a court-appointed parenting coach, but there’s no doubt at all that seeing her children will help Britney Spears calm her ways enormously. Good news all round. Well, except for Sean Preston and Jayden James, who had to put up with a slightly crazed woman babbling at them in a made-up language and farting like a spluttery clown-car engine all the time, but for everyone else it was all tickety-boo.
