Britney Spears Files for Divorce

Spears filed legal papers 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 Sept. 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.

If these two kids can't make it in this crazy world, how much chance do any of us have?

OK, that was my nice response. Is there anyone out there who did NOT see this coming?

[MikefromOhio]

I did, she emailed me earlier this week and told me they were breaking up, then she asked if I was busy this weekend...I consulted my schedule checked with me people and it looks like I can fit her into my schedule.

And I have an ocean liner in Phoenix to sell to you... :)

This is HUGH!!!!!!

[BJClinton]

Sweet! So didja get fired?

[Asclepius]

Where have you heard that? I hadn't heard of any such cheating on either side. Just ongoing friction.

Made it all up. Poor attempt at humour. Carry on.

[HOTTIEBOY]

not yet....

[Fatuncle]

Gee, first Whitney and Bobby, then Reese and Ryan, now Britney and Kevin? If they can't make it, how can anyone?

Braace yourself for the bad news. Have you heard the rumors about Tarzan and Cheeta?

[cowboyway]

How old is she, 24? Two marriages and two divorces, two children...she is off to a great start into adulthood.

She might not be doing so great with adulthood, but celebrity-hood, well, that's another story.

All she needs to do now is go to Africa and buy/adopt some kids.

I believe Jerry Jeff Walker wrote "Trashy Women." He did a great version of it decades ago.

[BurbankKarl]

I guess she was tired of stepping on his needles on the floor.

You saw his concert flopped last night?
