Britney Spears as Virgin Mary
Britney Spears is set to play the Virgin Mary.French producer Phillippe Rebboah has approached the 'Toxic' singer to portray the mother of Christ in a satirical film of the Nativity story called 'Sweet Baby Jesus'.Rebboah told Us Weekly magazine: "I had to convince my partners, because they were like, 'Oh, no. Britney?' But I thought it was brilliant."The modern re-imagining of the Christian story sees Mary as a pregnant 19-year-old unsure of her baby's paternity who goes into labour on Christmas Eve in Bethlehem, Maryland, amid rumors the birth is the second coming of Jesus Christ.Meanwhile, Britney will today undergo questioning by ex-husband Kevin Federline's lawyers in the latest chapter of the bitter custody battle for sons Sean Preston, two, and 15-month-old Jayden James.The 'Gimme More' singer has been served with a deposition to answer questions under oath at the office of Kevin's attorney.Her testimony is not expected to take more than a day.Los Angeles family lawyer Lynn Soodik said: "A deposition can be emotionally draining, because Kevin's lawyer can ask very personal questions about her relationship with her kids - and she'll be under oath."Britney will be accompanied by her chief lawyer Sorrell Trope and the rest of her legal team.A court ruled on October 26 that her testimony may not be video taped.It is believed Britney will be questioned about her alleged drug and alcohol use, her failure to follow court orders and her capabilities as a mother.Kevin currently has temporary full custody of Sean and Jayden and receives $30,000-a-month in child support from Britney, while she has three supervised visits a week.To keep her visitation rights she must undergo regular court-ordered drug testing.They have agreed to share custody over the Christmas holidays.The next court hearing in the case is scheduled for January.
Jessica Alba is Pregnant
Jessica Alba is pregnant with boyfriend Cash Warren's child, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively."I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer," says rep Brad Cafarelli.Alba, 26, has dated Warren, 28, since the fall of 2004 after they met on the set of The Fantastic Four, on which Warren was a director's assistant.The couple have been seen being affectionate together in Los Angeles in recent days, shopping for mattresses last Saturday and attending a Lakers game, where they were spotted kissing Sunday.Before the pregnancy announcement, she said she was in talks to make her Broadway premiere this summer in a revival of playwright David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow.A source close to the Latina actress said: "Jessica was really jealous that all her friends were settling down and getting pregnant, so she is thrilled she has joined the club now."She feels like she is ready to be a mom, and knows she and Cash will make great parents."Jessica recently said she was planning to take eight months off work, but didn't specify why.She said: "I've worked the last two and a half years without stopping. This is the time to do it." See also:No Nude Jacuzzi Parties for Jessica Alba
Britney Spears Deposition Tomorrow
Britney Spears will finally take the oath and have her deposition taken -- and it's happening tomorrow at 10 AM.Sources say Britney will roll to the Los Angeles offices of K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Her legal team, which includes Anne Kiley and Tara Scott, will be there to raise objections -- and expect lots of them.Those sources say the depo could last several days. Kaplan has been trying to get Brit under oath for nearly a year and he'll be asking a range of questions relating to child custody and, we believe, spousal support.
