Britney Regains Visitation Rights
Britney Spears has regained visitation rights of her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, PEOPLE has learned.
The singer on Saturday was spotted driving with her children in Studio City, Calif., in her white Mercedes convertible, which was decorated with pumpkins on the dashboard.
A presumed court-appointed monitor was seated in the front seat, with her sons in the rear.
On Wednesday, L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon had temporarily suspended her visitation rights. A source close to Spears told PEOPLE the judge removed her rights after the pop star was unreachable by a cell phone designated for court-related scheduling.
On Thursday, Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said he expected Spears would get visitation reinstated soon because “she has complied with the part of the order [causing the suspension].”
Lawyers for both sides did not respond to calls for comment.
Spears and Federline are both required to show up for their next hearing on Oct. 26.
Malibu Celebrities Evacuating Their Homes
James Cameron and Olivia Newton-John have been evacuated, and there are many more celebs in the Malibu area whose homes are in danger. Numerous homes along Pacific Coast Highway have been evacuated.
The Malibu County and Carbon Beach residents include: Jennifer Aniston, Sting, Bill Murray, Nick Nolte, Robin Wright Penn, Mel Brooks, Howie Mandel, Tatum O’Neal, Rob Reiner, Goldie Hawn, Linda Ronstadt, Jeff Bridges, David Arquette and Courtney Cox, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
The fire is believed to have started when arcing power lines, downed by fierce Santa Ana winds, ignited dry brush around 5:00 AM Sunday. California has had one of the worst droughts in years, leaving hillsides especially vulnerable to brushfires. Over 1000 acres and numerous structures have already burned. More than 500 firefighters from all over the area are fighting the flames — still being fanned by gusting winds, which are expected to continue for several days. Roughly 200 homes have been evacuated.
Sources on the scene tell TMZ that homes belonging to Mark Hamill, Sean Penn and David Duchovny are all in danger.

Tom Cruise Plans “Boys” Day for David Beckham
Hollywood action star Tom Cruise plans to take new pal David Beckham on a Wacky Races-style spree to cheer him up after his miserable soccer season.
The actor has lined up some high-octane activities for the pair of them - although he will be asking for Posh Spice’s approval first.
Beckham’s US season came to an abrupt halt at the weekend after his LA Galaxy team failed to make the play-offs.
Cruise and wife Katie Holmes have befriended the Beckhams, and the actor told BBC Radio Five Live he has the perfect pick-me-up for the footballer.
“We will go out and fly some airplanes or race some cars or something like that,” he said.
“I’ll talk to Victoria and see if she’s all right with that. But we’ll have some fun.”
Cruise said Beckham would be disappointed to be out of the play-offs.
“I know what a competitor he is and I have great admiration for him as an athlete, as a father, and as a husband.
“The guy works so hard, I know personally how dedicated this guy is and how committed,” he said. I look forward to seeing him play for England.”
Cruise was speaking at the ‘Lions For Lambs’ premiere in London’s Leicester Square.
Kate Hudson’s Divorce is Final
Kate Hudson is officially single again after she and estranged husband Chris Robinson filed their signed divorce papers in a Los Angeles court on Monday.
Hudson and The Black Crowes front man Robinson’s six-year marriage will now be permanently ended when a judge signs off the papers.
The pair, who split last year, have agreed to joint custody of their three-year-old son Ryder.
Robinson filed for divorce in November 2006.
Lindsey Lohan’s Dad Takes Blame
Michael Lohan wants to patch things up with his family.
“Reconciliation and redemption — across the board,” says Lohan, a born-again Christian. “Just all of us getting right with God.”
Lohan’s 21-year-old daughter Lindsay, star of “Mean Girls,” “Freaky Friday” and other films, has said that her father’s behavior and her parents’ divorce have caused her to act out.
Michael and estranged wife Dina Lohan settled their long-simmering divorce in August, months after he left a New York state prison where he served almost two years for drunken driving and other charges.
He reunited with Lindsay in September after a 3½-year estrangement. She had entered a drug and alcohol treatment center the previous month after reaching a plea deal on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges.
Lohan’s visit to the Cirque Lodge in Utah was her third trip to rehab since January, a frenetic year in which she wrecked a Mercedes-Benz, released the box-office flop “I Know Who Killed Me” and was arrested more than once. She left the center earlier this month.
Does Lohan blame himself for Lindsay’s troubles?
“Absolutely. How can I not? I mean, we lead by example,” Lohan said in an interview Wednesday with AP Television News.
He entered a Christian-based drug and rehabilitation center in West Babylon, N.Y., after he was released from prison in March. Lohan had repeatedly said Lindsay needed the same kind of treatment.
“I made a commitment when I was in there to God and to myself that, when I got out, I was going to do God’s work, and I was going to share with other people what I’ve been through and how God changed my life,” Lohan said.
He is now a spokesman for GodMen, which holds events designed to help Christian men renew their faith.
Lohan said he doesn’t care if people question the sincerity of his religious convictions.
