Jamie Spears Threatens To "Destroy Ass" Of Major Britney Fansite! Posted: 27 Mar 2009 04:27 PM PDT Heavy shiz indeed! Apparently Britney Spears' father, Jamie, is forcing one of the biggest BritBrit fansites to shut its figurative doors. According to Jordan Miller, owner and webmaster of BreatheHeavy.com: Dear BreatheHeavy readers, I, Jordan Miller, Owner & Webmaster of BreatheHeavy.com and BritneyRes.com, want to thank you with all my heart for the loyalty and support you've shown over the last 5 years BreatheHeavy has been open. We are all here for one purpose: to support the icon of our generation, Britney Spears, and to continuously stick by her through the good and bad. I have been battling the conservatorship Britney is currently placed under for months now. When I did not conform to the requests and demands Britney's management and father, Jamie Spears, recently put upon BreatheHeavy to stay quiet, they in turn became angry and malicious, launching, what I feel is an unjust attack, against me and my website. As a result, I received a legal notice from Jamie Spears' lawyers pressuring me to close BreatheHeavy.com by 3:00 p.m. PST today, March 27, 2009, or face an injunction, claiming they will pursue legal action by Jamie Spears, who, as a conservator, is legally allowed to act as Britney and sue using her money and lawyers. "Britney doesn't control her affairs," said Brad Rose, the lawyer representing Britney in this case in a telephone conversation. "You are an uber fan who's gone a little too far." The legal notice states BreatheHeavy is not in compliance of Copyright Infringement laws, violating Britney's rights of publicity and privacy: quote: "The Infringing Sites are replete with willful, unauthorized and unlawful use and/or exploitation of: (i) the copyrighted lyrics to songs written and/or recorded by Ms. Spears; (ii) Ms. Spears's trademarked name, (iii) various video and audio recordings embodying the performances of Ms. Spears; and (iv) photographic images of Ms. Spears (owned or exclusively licensed to third parties by Ms. Spears). The unauthorized use of these recordings, images, copyrighted works and trademarks constitutes actionable infringement under, inter alia, copyright and trademark law, and also violates Ms. Spears's rights of publicity and privacy." "Ms. Spears will pursue damages and injunctive relief in connection with the blatant violation of her rights of publicity and privacy." The real issue, in my opinion, is hidden behind these Copyright Infringement claims, rather management, particularly her father / conservator, Jamie Spears, who makes $18,000 a month off his daughter, is desperately trying to hide the truth about Britney's imprisonment, and shut anyone up who disagrees with their conniving and selfish exploitation of an innocent mother of 2 pushed back into the lime-light just several months after a hospitalization. Another issue the lawyers claim aside from "Copyright Infringement," is the use Britney's trademarked name and image, stating I am not allowed to use her name or picture except for editorial and hard news purposes only. Additionally, the Google and TicketMaster ads placed around the website are a "major issue," stating I am using Britney's name and image for financial gain without her consent. BreatheHeavy.com is a non-profitable website, meaning I, nor anyone, makes a PROFIT off the website. The ads used help the website remain self-sustainable, and if there is a profit made, the funds, in return, are used to purchase magazine scans and other materials needed for the website. Am I crazy and naive for running a major website that leaves me in debt each month? Possibly, but BreatheHeavy is my passion, a creative outlet that has allowed me to grow as an individual. Britney Spears is my inspiration; I can't put a price on that. Though I made very clear to the attorneys that BreatheHeavy is a non-profitable website, it is of no concern of theirs. This entire site thrives because of YOU, the fans, who support Britney by buying tickets to her show, merchandise and music. Sadly, your hard-earned money that goes to supporting your favorite celebrity, is now money being used to potentially sue me, a major fan and supporter of Britney Spears, and hide fans from knowing the TRUTH. This conservatorship Britney is placed under, which controls every aspect of her life, is now clenching the future of her biggest Fansite. I'm prepared to fight, but I need to know that you guys are willing to fight with me. I desperately need your help. BreatheHeavy.com costs a minimum of $350.00 a month to run. Because I am not allowed to use ads to run the website any longer, as I am "using Britney Spears's image for financial profit," I am asking readers to donate money until the situation has been handled. Paypal email address: breatheheavydotcom@gmail.com Any donation will be greatly appreciated. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I know with the support of fans and readers, this unjust bullying will come to an end, and one day Jamie Spears' reign over his daughter, her money, lawyers, career and life will cease. Please understand this is NOT my decision, and I am being FORCED to take desperate measures in an effort to save this website and stand up for what is right. BreatheHeavy will remain up in the air until a resolution with her management, lawyers and father has been reached, if ever. "I will destroy your ass," threatened Jamie Spears to me in a telephone conversation. This is not the end. Love, Jordan Miller, Owner & Webmaster of BreatheHeavy.com That's not very nice, Jamie! Without Britney's "uber fans" you can bet your Kentucky Fried Chicken ass there would be no comeback! [Image via WENN.]

Ivana And Her Hubby Kiss And Make Up, We Can All Breathe A Sigh Of Relief Posted: 27 Mar 2009 02:00 PM PDT Oh it's so good to know that Ivana Trump and her adopted son hubby Rossano Rubicondi have settled their rich people differences and saved their marriage. Last April the couple wed in a lavish ceremony in Palm Beach. But then they couldn't decide where to spend their married life together, with Rossano wanting to live in Miami and Ivana wanting to remain in New York. They both cried and pouted and threw temper tantrums until Ivana settled the matter by purchasing a condo in Miami. There, now they have one more house to choose from! According to Trump's mouthpiece, "There was no legal filing, and all is fine now. They have different work schedules and do see each other in New York, London, Paris and Rome. It was just rough for awhile when trying to be in the same place at the same time." Whew! If all was not well in Ivana's life we just don't know what we would have done with ourselves!

Vatican To Boycott Tom Hanks! Posted: 27 Mar 2009 01:45 PM PDT With so many problems in the world, we find it funny the Vatican has time to focus on this nonsense! Tom Hank's latest flick, Angels & Demons, based on the best-selling novel by Dan Brown, is receiving strong opposition from the Vatican. According to Avvenire, the Vatican's official newspaper, the church "cannot approve" the film. Another Italian newspaper claims the Vatican will soon call for Catholics worldwide to boycott the flick. However, Archbishop Velasio De Paolis is worried that boycotting the movie will create a "boomerang effect" by giving it more publicity. Guess the Pope and his posse are still bothered by the fact that the book and movie suggested Jesus had secretly married that "whore", Mary Magdalene. Jesus loves all - some more than others! Even last year, while filming, the Vatican banned filmmakers from entering the Holy City or any church in Rome really. So one of the movie's key scenes, set inside church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, had to be filmed on a soundstage. According to a Vatican spokesman, Father Marco Fibbi, he said, "Usually we read the script but in this case it wasn't necessary. Just the name Dan Brown was enough." The flick hits theaters worldwide this May 15th. We bet the Vatican will be watching it in secret!

Octo-Mom Facing Money Troubles! Posted: 27 Mar 2009 01:15 PM PDT Could Nadya Suleman be losing her kids soon? Well, if she's broke she might be! And, according to new reports, Suleman is about to start experiencing some money issues. Due to the backlash from the public, many sponsors are dropping Octo-Mom. According to an interview Nadya gave recently, Huggies and Pampers diapers already dropped their support. And diapers are pricey!!! Octo-Mom said, "All of the diaper companies and formula companies rescinded their offers." We wonder why! A rep for Gerber has also said they weren't planning on donating to the family. Though, as a friend of Suleman points out, "The problem is that Nadya has become a lightning rod for bad publicity - and it is the babies who are losing out." Well if Nadya can't take care of her children financially, do U think the government should take the kids away? [Image via WENN.]

Boy Inspired By Twilight Bites Classmates!!!! Posted: 27 Mar 2009 12:45 PM PDT Ummm, okay, the Twilight madness is beginning to go too far! A 13-year-old boy at a school in Des Moines bit 11 students!!! When authorities got in touch with the boy's father, he explained that his son never intended to hurt anyone and had just been inspired by Twilight. The kid will be referred to juvenile corrections.
