Britney's parents meet K-Fed for crisis talks

The parents of Britney Spears have been forced to hold crisis talks at her ex-husband Kevin Federline's house over the future of her two sons - but the singer was nowhere to be seen.

Her father and mother, James and Lynne, called a meeting with K Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan to thrash out details of the custody battle over Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.

Britney and Kevin are due back in court on Friday to review the case.

Britney is expected to ask for the 50/50 custody arrangement to be reinstated, while sources say Kevin will ask for 70/30, and may even push for full custody.

While her family were trying to sort out her sons' futures, Britney, 25, was doing what she does best, shopping and driving around LA.

The troubled singer, wearing bright blue contact lenses, headed to the Beverly Connection shopping mall where she was photographed pulling a manic face.

She got out of her Mercedes, but minutes later jumped back in, reportedly bumping into a few cars and photographers as she reversed out, and drove to The Peninsula Hotel, then the Beverly Wilshire.
