Britney Spears checked into Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Rehab center in Antigua last week. A day later, she checked out. She returned to Los Angeles, shaved off all her hair – reportedly because K-fed told her he’d have her hair tested for ‘illegal substances’ and re-entered rehab. Now, Kevin is heading to court with his attorney for an emergency hearing. Speculation is high that he’s seeking full custody of the boys.
On a lighter note, Trista and Ryan Sutter met and fell in love on The Bachelorette. They got married in a two-hour special which aired on ABC back in 2003. Now, the happy couple is going to have a baby. Trista told People magazine, “We are so happy after two years of trying.”
Trista, who told Ryan after he returned from a mountaineering trip in Argentina, is currently 14 weeks along. She’s experiencing “horrendous morning sickness.” The couple expects their little bundle to make his or her debut sometime this summer.
