Today, there was a lot of Britney Spears news for Ashlan Gorse, Marc Malkin and Kristina Guerrero to cover!

First things first, there are rumors that Britney is going to get axed from her X Factor gig. We discuss where this story is suddenly coming from and why Simon Cowell might be ready to say bye-bye to BritBrit.

In other unfortunate Britney news, Chris Federline, the singer's ex-husband's brother (still with us?), has just requested a restraining order against her claiming that she stole his credit card to buy over $4,000 worth of comic books. And, oh yeah: He's also alleging that he fathered Britney's oldest child, Sean Preston Federline.

Finally, our Celeb of the Year contest has come down to just two! Watch the replay to find out who made the finals, and go here to cast your vote before the polls close tonight at midnight PT!
