Britney Spears Britney Spears Britney Spears is keeping us on the ready today.

It may well all kick off.

The word is she's got a date.

Though it's not what you might think.

Apparently she plans to attend a hearing today in a Los Angeles family court, a court spokesman confirmed.

The court rep told People: "It's a hearing to discuss the status of her case."

Asked if her ex-hubby, Kevin Federline, would show, his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan replied: "Kevin has been at every important hearing. I view Tuesday as an important hearing."

Britters returned to Los Angeles on Sunday night after flying to Louisiana to attend a baby shower for her preggers 17-year-old sis, Jamie Lynn, over the weekend.

As far as the current situation allows, Britney has monitored visitation rights with her sons, Preston, two, and Jayden, one, several times a week, but has no overnight privileges.

And her papa, Jamie, and a lawyer remain in legal control of her affairs until a hearing on 31st July.

We'll be keeping our eyes peeled.
