Britney Spears agreed yesterday to give up the fight for custody of her two sons after a legal battle lasting a year and a half.
Kevin Federline, the troubled pop star’s former husband, will have sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 18 months, his lawyer said.
The couple have agreed that Miss Spears, 26, will have visitation rights that will allow her to see the boys.
According to researchers, a big breakfast packed with protein, carbs – and even something sweet – can lead to weight loss.
It seems there’s truth to the proverb “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper.” At least when it comes to losing weight.
According to researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., starting the day with a big breakfast packed with protein – and yes, carbohydrates – can lead to significant weight loss.
7-year Jaimee Armstrong was unable to sleep without her missing 50-year-old best friend. So parents Deb and Dan dug deep to bring the unofficial family member back home.

Male fertility drops significantly after the age of 35, according to new research.
An infertility study of more than 12,000 couples in Paris has found a strong link between paternal age and the chances of conceiving.
It suggests that miscarriage rates increase significantly when the prospective father is over 35, while the chances of getting pregnant drop after 40.
Dieting really could be a question of mind over matter, if scientists are to be believed.
It may be possible to “think” yourself thin simply by focusing on a recent meal instead of reaching out for the next bar of chocolate or savoury snack.

Studies show that non-runners are more likely to develop osteoarthritis than those who regularly pound the pavement
This is a fear that stops many would-be runners in their tracks and lurks in the back of the mind of even the most experienced runners. Running and injuries go together like shin splints and ice, so it’s entirely reasonable to wonder about the prospects of long-term damage.
These fears should be put to rest by a pair of long-term studies due to be published this year.
Eating a poor diet when pregnant or breastfeeding may cause long-lasting health damage to the child, animal studies suggest.
