Britney Spears and Madonna's latest hookup has been temporarily derailed by a technical glitch.

Spears had been scheduled to begin shooting a video montage for Madonna's upcoming tour this morning at the Lots soundstage in Hollywood. But production insiders say that because the set was not finished in time, cameras will not roll until tomorrow.

The set features an elevator, in, around and on which Spears will dance.

"The video will be very deep," a source in the Spears camp tells E! News. "You've never seen Britney like this before. It will blow your mind."

After a brief music-biz timeout, Britney Spears is barging back with a vengeance, says record producer Rodney Jerkins in this exclusive video interview with E! News reporter Jason Kennedy. Touting the pop star's professionalism and savvy, Jerkins says Brit can still cut a killer track in a fraction of the time it takes other artists.

And she's no studio diva either, never demanding anything more than Starbucks or Red Bull. For more of this exclusive video, catch E! News Sunday evening.

What Britney Spears really needs is a little peace and quiet. At least, according to a court commissioner.

In court papers filed by Spears' conservatorship earlier this month, approved by Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz on June 17 and obtained by E! News today, Goetz gives the go-ahead for the singer to sell her Summit home to the highest bidder—because the place is a hindrance to Spears' parenting skills.

In requesting the house swap, Spears & Co. argued that the mother of two was in need of a "lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood, that is also more accessible to parks and recreation areas."

Kevin Federline wants Britney Spears to once again play a major role in their children's lives. Just not a bigger role than his.

K-Fed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, spoke exclusively to E! News in the wake of Thursday's all-day mediation session, in which both sides were seeking to hash out a custody agreement in advance of an August trial.

"Kevin is seeking to maintain the sole legal and physical custody that he presently has," Kaplan said. "There's nothing magical about 50-50. There's nothing magical about 60-40. What's magical is that whatever order is in place, it's the order that best suits the best interest of the children."

Britney Spears has made a subtle change for the better—and, it follows, so too have her custody rights.

This morning's court session, attended by both Spears and Kevin Federline, resulted in "a change of visitation status" for the new aunt, Los Angeles Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told reporters at a brief posthearing press conference.

While Parachini wasn't spilling the beans, a source close to the case told E! News that Court Commissioner Scott Gordon granted Spears overnight visits with her sons, the first of which will occur this weekend.

It had only been a few days, but the paparazzi welcomed Britney Spears home as if she's the one who's been gone for nine months.

Despite rumors she was going to hunker down and play aunt for a while, the popster touched down at LAX Friday afternoon and was immediately accosted by flashbulbs after a quick jaunt to Kentwood, La., to celebrate the arrival of sister Jamie Lynn's first child.

Maddie Briann, Jamie Lynn's daughter with fiancé Casey Aldridge, was born just after 9:30 a.m. Thursday at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss., where the couple recently bought a three-bedroom home, and just a hop over the border from the Spears homestead in Kentwood.

Lynne Spears may be a brand-spankin' new grandma but that doesn't mean her motherly duties are taking a backseat.

Backing daughter Britney's bid to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license in a 10-month-old hit-and-run case, the Lynne Spears filed a declaration in Los Angeles Superior Court continuing to maintain the singer's faultlessness.

And Spears' attorney Michael Flanagan told E! News there was a simple reason why Lynne, and not Britney, filed the paperwork.

"Britney is not really competent to provide a declaration," he said.
