Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire

The courtrooms are on fire this week, as accusations flew from all sides in several high-profile divorce cases.

Country singer Sara Evans was in court yesterday to defend against allegations by her soon-to-be ex-husband, Craig Schelske, that she's been sleeping her way up and down the A-list. Schelske made headlines last week when he filed a 118-page manifesto with the divorce court, demanding that Evans admit to affairs with eleven other celebrities, including Kenny Chesney and Will Smith.

Attorneys for Evans denied the charges, noting that Evans has only met Smith once, and it lasted a mere five minutes. Chancellor R. E. Lee Davies, the presiding judge in the case, ruled against Schelske as well, finding the couple had already reached an agreement and no further hearings are required. Read more on Evans here.

Meanwhile, embattled pop-star-cum-disaster Britney Spears was in court Monday, facing a mass exodus of advisors and turncoat employees.

Spears' divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, appeared at a hearing to formally withdraw as counsel for the singer. Meanwhile, Spears' managers at Hollywood-based the Firm have dropped her as well, citing "current circumstances" as "prevent[ing] us from doing our job."

Adding to the damage was the surprise appearance of Tony Barretto, a bodyguard fired by Spears several months ago. Though Barretto didn't testify, sources reveal he was prepared to allege "nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children." The Spears camp characterized Barretto as disgruntled.

A hearing on Spears' two children with ex-husband Keven Federline is scheduled for November, though a preliminary decision may be issued prior to the hearing. At this point, Spears — who is estranged from her mother as well, for undisclosed reasons — is running out of supporters.

Unless something changes dramatically, it appears the buzzards are circling on Spears' career, and her family life. We fear that the continuing public debauchery that seems to emanate from the former diva is about to cost her custody of her two kids, and any hopes of success in the future.
