Federline said of his upcoming book, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that 'if you've ever had questions, you'll find answers here.' But loyal supporters of the ...Baby One More Time songstress - who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline - weren't interested in the book, which is slated to be released October 21. Daily Mail has reached out to Federline via Instagram for comment on the backlash to the release of the forthcoming book. Federline, 47, irritated loyal supporters of the Grammy-winning singer, 43, as he promised his book would reveal 'extremely intimate and transparent' details about their past relationship They took exception with Federline for rehashing his past with Britney in what they felt was a blatant cash grab. 'So, no one would buy his story, so he thinks people want to hear him read his notes app life story?' asked one user, while another said, 'Damn, he REALLY needs money!' One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer's exes in slamming Federline. 'Instead of writing fanfiction novels he should go back and tour with Justin Timberlake so they can both cry endless rivers,' the user said. 'It's tiring.' In addition to his sons with the Oops!... I Did It Again vocalist, Federline is father to daughter Kori, 23, and son Kaleb, 21, with actress Shar Jackson, 48.

Britney Spears reveals how she sounds without autotune as she sings along to Otis Redding while dancing erratically in latest kooky clip
Britney Spears displayed her vocal abilities as she belted out a rendition of Otis Redding's (Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay. The singer, 43, is famed for using autotune on her catologue of hits, but kept the audio of her latest Instagram post unedited as she filmed herself singing. Britney was clad in a semi-sheer nude dress as she danced erratically while singing the Sixties hit. She captioned the clip: 'His soul makes me believe in GOD AGAIN !!! God knows I can't sing like him !!! I wish !!!' Later on Tuesday, the Toxic hitmaker filmed herself spinning around while flashing her bottom in another sheer gown. Britney is fond of sharing various dancing videos online but recently caused confusion when she took to Instagram to claim she had adopted a baby. Last month, she announced that she had 'adopted a beautiful baby girl' named Lennon London Spears, which turned out to be a joke. An insider told Daily Mail she was simply 'trying to be funny' and garner a reaction. 'Britney was just having fun when she announced that she would be adopting a girl,' our source confirmed. 'She did it for a laugh, she isn't adopting a daughter, and it also doesn't mean anything else like her getting a dog. She was just trying to be funny and see who would bite.' Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Kevin Federline, but the family have a famously fractious relationship. The hitmaker is reportedly working on her relationship with her Jayden, with whom she has recently reunited. 'Jayden is her rock right now and if there was ever anything that broke this bond Britney would be crushed,' the insider said. 'He is all she talks about. She is helping his career and providing for him financially. He is living large now.' In the past, Jayden, has admitted to being embarrassed by his mother's social media posts. 'It's like almost as if she has to put something on Instagram to get attention,' he told ITV in 2022. 'This has gone on for years and years and years, and there's a high chance that this is never going to really stop, but I'm hoping for me, maybe she will.' Britney has been largely estranged from her sons who moved to Hawaii with their father in 2023. Following their divorce in 2007 – and a highly-publicized mental breakdown that led to Britney being placed under a 13-year conservatorship by her father Jamie Spears – Kevin was granted sole custody of the two boys in 2008. Over 17 years, she paid more than an estimated $5 million in child support, but those monthly payments came to an end last September when Jayden turned 18. Two months later, it was reported that Jayden was 'back in California' where Briney lives, though it was unclear if he was staying at her $7.4 million estate in Thousand Oaks.

Britney Spears' Son Jayden ‘Tries to Be Patient' With Her ‘Incredibly Embarrassing' Social Media Behavior
Britney Spears reportedly is desperate to rebuild her relationship with her teenage sons, but if she's truly sincere she needs to face the fact that she's no longer a teen sexpot — but a middle-aged mom — and stop embarrassing them with her outrageous antics and poses in sexy lingerie. According to a Globe report published on July 16, the 43-year-old 'Gimme More' singer spends her days posting videos for fans of her prancing around in bikinis and other near-nude outfits. But she also seems to want to get closer to her sons, Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18. She rarely saw them during her court-imposed conservatorship from 2008 to 2021, when from ages 2 and 1, their dad, her ex-husband Kevin Federline, had custody and raised them, supported by payments from her massive $60 million fortune. During a recent visit from younger son Jayden, Britney showered him with luxuries like letting him cruise around in her $200,000 sports car. But her supposed desire to win over her sons and become more of a real mom rings hollow. 'Jayden loves her and does his best to accept her, but knows she's never going to be a normal mom,' an insider told the Globe. 'He finds a lot of her social media posts incredibly embarrassing, especially the ones where she's dancing or talking in riddles. He's told her straight up that it upsets him and that his friends give him a hard time about it.' 'He tries to be patient — but if she doesn't start hearing him, it's hard to imagine that he won't distance himself again, which would be very sad.' Yes, despite her wealth and fame, Britney seemingly has a hard time facing reality. She's no longer a 17-year-old pop tart singing suggestive songs like 'Oops!… I Did It Again' in sexy schoolgirl outfits. She's a mom with teen sons and needs to tone down her image. Hopefully, she'll find a way — or help — to grow up, and after years of heartbreaking separation, enjoy basking in the love of her sons. Solve the daily Crossword

Britney Spears baffles fans with ‘adoption' post — but it was just a joke, sources say
LOS ANGELES, July 19 — Pop icon Britney Spears raised eyebrows this week with an Instagram post that sent fans into a frenzy — but according to insiders, the excitement was all for nothing. In a now-viral video shared on Monday, the Toxic singer danced while dropping what looked like a major life update. 'I want to let you guys know I adopted a beautiful baby girl,' she wrote, punctuated with three winking emojis. 'Her name is Lennon London Spears.' But as reported by New York Daily News, sources close to Spears were quick to clarify that the Grammy winner hasn't adopted a child. The post, they said, was just a bit of harmless fun. Fans were left speculating whether the 43-year-old star was referring to a new pet instead. After all, Spears also shared, 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' complete with laughing emojis. But TMZ sources claimed that no dog had been adopted either. The pop star's post also hinted at plans to relocate to Italy, though those claims, too, appear to be wishful thinking — or more likely, part of the same playful fantasy. While no new additions have been made to her family, Spears recently celebrated a heartfelt reunion with her youngest son, 18-year-old Jayden, after a long period apart. She shares Jayden and his twin brother, Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. In December, Spears called their Christmas together 'the best Christmas of my life.' 'I haven't seen my boys in 2 years !!!' she captioned a joyful Instagram post at the time. 'Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!' Later that month, she gushed again about her reunion with Jayden, writing: 'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me. He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!' While 'Lennon London Spears' may not be real, it's clear Britney is enjoying the freedom to express herself — even if it leaves fans scratching their heads.
