Britney Spears news and gossip rarely takes a break. But you can’t deny that it’s becoming weirder - and seemingly more bogus - of late.
As reported by OK! Magazine, the struggling bipolar babe has recently found herself on the receiving end of a mysterious, obsessed fan.
One who has been sending the star threatening packages. OK! claims to have the details of what has Britney’s inner circle and security team running to the FBI.
“It started about six weeks ago with just letters being sent once a week,” a source who has supposedly seen the packages reveals to OK!.
“And then it quickly escalated to larger packages that now arrive 2-3 times a week — always to the same L.A. address, but never to Britney’s homes.”
Perhaps this is what Jamie Spears and K-Fed were discussing on the golf course. Either way, it’s a good thing the boxes never made it to the singer’s door.
What’s inside could not be good for her mental state.
“The first thing you see when you open the box is a huge, lavender-colored, battery-operated sex toy, still with the price tag on it.”
Gee whiz. Someone done send me ma sex toy, y’all!!
Alongside the mechanical apparatus are two letters — one handwritten and one written on a computer — threatening and pornographic in nature.
“The handwritten one is on note paper and it’s written in a crazy, all-caps chicken scratch,” says the source, who says the five-page letter contains pornographic details of the writer’s fantasy exploits with Britney Spears.
NOTE: Is this loser watching music videos form like 2001 or something? No offense to Britney, but these days? Would you hit that? Come on.
NOTE #2: No offense, Adnan.
Perhaps the scariest item is picture of the sender (or just some dude) — a white, middle-aged male with stringy, greasy hair — with eyes cut out of the photo.
Oh, and it gets better, believe us. In the photo, the man appears to be squirting some sort of yellowish liquid into his open mouth. Lovely.
“It’s like something from a bad movie,” says the source. “If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t believe it.”
“Insiders” tell OK! that the packages, which all come with a return address in the Minneapolis, Minn., area, are immediately handed over to Britney Spears‘ security team, who in turn hand them over to the FBI for review.

Random Loon Stalking Britney Spears, Sending Sex Toys
Spears and Lohan To Do "When Good Girls Go Bad"
Hollywood, CA (CNS) - Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, two of the most popular and most controversial celebrity teens are said to be collaborating in a new film, entitled "When Good Girls Go Bad." The two actresses have reportedly made the film's director, Ian Shroder put up his own insurance. "One producer told Ian it could be a potential disaster, but he laughed it off and said he was even willing to pay the insurance himself," says a film insider. "They will star as rivals in the movie which will be set in New York and there's lots of excitement about it." The source also intimated to Britain's Daily Star newspaper that "perhaps Lindsay could help Britney through her tough time." Both Spears and Lohan have had their share of public breakdowns - Spears ending up in a psychiatric ward and Lohan in rehab.
Jordan McGuire designs Britney Spears' MySpace page
A MELBOURNE teenager has beaten thousands of computer nerds across the world to design singer Britney Spears's official MySpace page.
Jordan McGuire, 15, spent hours working on the layout, which Jive Records has uploaded on to the site.
The talented Montmorency Secondary College student heard about the competition through a friend and decided to give it a go.
"I have always liked graphics and I like Britney," he said, reluctantly admitting that he had a poster of her on his door.
"I think that it is really good that she is still singing when she has been getting so much criticism."
Jordan beat 28,135 Spears fans to take out the honour.
He's already received 100 accolades on the MySpace page, which is viewed by thousands daily.
"Kudos to Jordan," wrote Amy from Alaska.
Another Spears fan from West Hollywood wrote: "It definitely rocks! Congratulations Aussie dude!"
Jordan said although he knew the competition would be tough, he had always been confident because he liked the way his entry turned out.
Although he didn't win any money, he said the honour of designing such a popular page was reward enough.
"Most of my mates think it is pretty cool that I have won, but I have copped some flak from a few of them - probably the ones that don't like Britney," Jordan said.
"It is pretty amazing to think that people all over the world are looking at my page."

Britney Spears asks for FBI protection
Washington (ANI): Beleaguered pop diva Britney Spears has turned to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for protection against an alleged stalker, who she said threatened to kill her. Britney requested the agency for protection after she reportedly received a number of letters, including one on how to make a bomb. Besides this, the singer was delivered several packages that contained sex toys, and notes on the Middle East and Israel.
"We have been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months," Contactmusic quoted a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman, as saying. A FBI spokesman said: "We cannot comment on ongoing investigations."

Saving the World with Britney Spears
Britney Spears can teach us all a little something about ourselves. I am sure there are people that will deny this, but please, there's no denying it. Britney is you and you are Britney.
Until a few weeks ago, I considered myself a Britney casualist - I only casually cared about her. I held no animosity towards her, but passively ignored her. However, I'll admit I was bothered when Britney was all over the news on Jan. 4 when I was looking for television coverage on the Iowa caucuses and kept running into her. At the time, Britney was being rushed to a hospital. It bothered me that this was on CNN and MSNBC when I believed there was more important news developing inside and outside the United States. But maybe I was wrong; maybe Britney is important news. Bear with me for un minuto:
Perhaps American societies' fascination with the destruction of celebrities reflects something larger about our culture. We adore self-destructive men and women so much that tabloid and gossip magazines, which specialize in celebrity catastrophes, can be easily found in any supermarket, snuggled next to packs of gum, Readers Digests and TV Guides.
Looking beyond the silly headlines these 'zines' produce, I wonder what lies behind our fascination with stories of self-destruction. Why do people want to read about OJ Simpson's latest escapades, or Britney Spears' custody battle, or Keifer Sutherland's latest trouble with Johnny Law?
Perhaps it is because people enjoy watching other people suffer. Or perhaps it is that these stories externalize the reader's suffering.
No matter what the reason, one thing can be determined: we are all obsessed with destruction. The news is full of such stories. Global warming is destroying our planet; NAFTA (according to Democrats) is destroying parts of our American economy; immigrants (according to Republicans) are destroying America; gay marriage (according to many in both parties) is destroying the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. The list could go on and on.

Britney Spears stalker fears
ritney Spears has reportedly been receiving disturbing letters and packages from a stalker.
The troubled singer is said to have been so concerned by the mail, which included a letter detailing how to make bombs and another containing "threatening language and weird gibberish", she has handed all correspondence over to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation).
A source close to the singer told E! Online: "A lot of the things she was receiving were disturbing stalker kind of stuff. So, to be safe, her security team is turning it all over to the police and FBI."
While insiders claim the mail had been sent to various locations associated with mother-of-two Britney, Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Ana Aguirre said no specific investigation had been launched yet.
She added: "We have been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months."
An FBI spokesperson also refused to comment on the allegations.
Meanwhile, Britney is paying her dad Jamie US$2500 ($2688) for every week he looks after her.
Jamie - whose co-conservatorship over his 26-year-old daughter was extended until July 31 - was also given the authority to use Britney’s funds to hire a car for her security team.
Britney is believed to be "doing well" following a turbulent few months during which she was hospitalised.
If she continues to improve Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz may consider dissolving the conservatorship before the scheduled July 31 end date.
A source said: "Is it possible she might make significant enough progress to get her life back in three or four months? Yes, and her dad would like nothing more than for that to happen."
Britney Spears' Dad Spends Quality Time with K-Fed!
Britney Spears' dad Jamie Spears has been a rock for the troubled pop tart for the past few months and is the primary reason why the 26-year-old mom has regained visitation rights with her two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
On January 3rd Brit-Brit lost custody of her children when she was rushed to the hospital after suffering from a mental breakdown. Since then, her father has had complete control over the pop tart's life, as ruled by a judge.
But perhaps one of the reasons why Britney's father has been successful in getting custody back is because of his great relationship with Spears' ex husband Kevin Federline.
Kevin and Jamie were seen golfing together this weekend, sparking media attention and leading many to wonder whether Brit knew about their get together.
There's no doubt that, whether the singer was aware of her father's rendezvous with Federline or not, Jamie is only trying to help his daughter get her life back on track.
If spending some quality time with K-Fed is what he needs to ensure her ex that she's capable of raising her children, then more power to him.
We think Jamie Spears is the only thing keeping Brit from another mental breakdown.
Seeing Jamie and Kevin together can only mean good things for Spears.
