Breaking News: Britney Files for Divorce

Britney Spears files for divorce from her husband Kevin Federline, citing irreconcilable differences.

TMZ obtained the legal papers, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights. As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Oct. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees. Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events." Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.Significantly, Britney lists the date of her marriage as October 6, 2004. There was an uproar around the time of the wedding because the highly publicized "secret" ceremony was held on Sept. 18th, leading many to question the validity of the ceremony. Now the divorce documents indicate that the lavish ceremony was not the official wedding. [source -tmz]

She realized what she got herself into with this marriage, lied to Kevin and told him he was a good rapper -- so he spent all of his money on an album. Kevin, oblivious to his wife's deception, continued with his 'career' thinking he had all the money in the world. In the meantime, Britney worked tirelessly to get her old body back. Kevin drops his shitty album, and just at the peak of the embarrassment, she divorces him with her looks ready to go back on the meatmarket. Fabulous, darling.

In related news, I predicted this would happen very soon after her appearance on Letterman last night. Seriously. Ask my boyfriend. I'm totally clairvoyant when it comes to divorce. I just predicted a friend's divorce too. In fact, if you want to save your marriage, stay away from me.
