Tatum O’Neal took her son Sean out for dinner at Mr Chow on September 23 – his 22nd birthday. They had a good time but when they left in separate cars we were reminded that Tatum’s ex John McEnroe has had custody of their three kids since 1998. Fortunately, it appears that Tatum and Sean are still close.
Sandra Bullock seems really happy with her life. She was seen at LAX with her husband Jesse James and her step-daughter Sunny, 5. Jesse has full custody of Sunny while his exwife, pornstar Janine Lindemulder, serves six months in jail for tax evasion. And Sandra is NOT complaining. Sandra would love for Jesse to get permanent custody of Sunny and treats her like she’s her own little girl. The three of them were very affectionate with each other at the airport.
One reason that Jermaine Dupri hasn’t been seen in the company of his off-again on-again girlfriend Janet Jackson is because there’s a good chance that she will get custody of Michael’s three children. Jermaine says he never goes to funerals and has been avoiding the hoopla over Michael, while Janet spends most of her time with her family, making numerous decisions. Katherine Jackson has temporary custody of the children, but Janet has bonded with them and volunteered to raise them. The family agrees that Michael would have approved. Jermaine is keeping a low profile until things are settled.
Britney Spears is perfectly happy with the fact that Kevin has full custody of their kids. She’s in the process of getting control of her medication and concentrating on getting her own life together. She has plenty to worry about and it’s nice to know the kids are safe and happy with their dad. Besides, Britney is paying for BOTH hers and Kevin’s lawyers, so fighting this doesn’t make much sense. Britney can visit the boys twice a week and have an overnight. Six months from now she’ll be reevaluated and probably get half custody. On July 31, Britney’s father Jamie’s conservatorship and control over her could be over. Is Britney delighted, or has she started to appreciate his efforts?

The worm has TURNED regarding Liv Tyler’s divorce. Just as it seemed like Liv and her husband Royston Langden were getting along, and at the very least, destined have a civilized split, he hired a hungry lawyer. Royston hasn’t been making much money as a musician so Liv was the breadwinner while they were married. (And THAT irked her) Liv’s career is flourishing with The Strangers and The Incredible Hulk, and Royston wants a BIG chunk of her income. Now it’s turning into a custody court battle and Liv is not happy. She hopes to move to Los Angeles temporarily to get away from it all.
Is ANYBODY really surprised that Britney Spears lost custody of her kids? She seemed to be doing EVERYTHING she could to hasten the process. Out in bars every night. Photographed having emotional breakdowns. Dragging the boys to Starbucks constantly for coffee and cigarettes. Not the zoo – Starbucks. She hauled the kids to Robertson to shop on the most photographed street in LA. Car crashes, no California drivers license. Her own mother sides with K-Fed. Britney never stayed home under the radar. It’s almost as if she WANTED to lose custody. Right now it’s all for the best. Let’s see if Britney finally deals with her mental problems. If she gets her act together, she’ll get her boys back.
