While most people will be relaxing, eating and generally celebrating this holiday season, Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have bigger fish to fry…

Spears and her fiance/conservator are spending the next few weeks planning damage control and deciding if they are going to officially call it quits in the new year on their three-year plus relationship.

“It’s a make or break holiday for Britney and Jason,” a source close to the singer tells RadarOnline. “Things have been getting worse and worse with their relationship for several months now, and they know they have to figure things out once and for all because they can’t keep going on like this.”

Yikes.  Since Jason sees Brit Brit on The X Factor (he’s a producer) and at home, AND he’s her conservator, it’s not just a simple romantic entanglement, but so much more.

“If they do decide to call off the engagement for good, things are going to be tricky, legally and financially, so it isn’t just the state of their relationship they have to think about,” the source says. “If there wasn’t those considerations involved they would of split a while ago.”

Want more proof?

“Britney and Jason have been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a very long time,” another source previously revealed to Radar. “She has been staying in a hotel during the week because of the live X Factor shows, and although Jason stays at the same hotel, he is in a room adjacent to hers.

“Jason feels like he is Britney’s babysitter and it’s pretty much just a business arrangement at this point. Jason does love Britney and the boys, but he just can’t see himself spending the rest of his life with her.”

Oy, how hard would it be to be in a relationship that’s like babysitting?  I think these two should break it off. Thoughts?

In the newest issue of Lucky magazine,  Britney Spears makes herself out to be a normal lady and a pretty low-key mom!

On her relationship with her kids: “They try to figure out where I go when I go to film X Factor. They’re like, ‘Mommy’s going off to be a superhero.’ And then I get back, and they just see me as Mommy,” Spears, 30, tells Lucky magazine in its December cover story of her boys Preston, 7, and Jayden, 6. “And then when I’m back working on the show, they say, ‘Oh, Mommy’s a superhero again!’ ”

What sets Fiance Jason Trawick apart from the other men she’s dated: “He was sweet … he says he doesn’t mind that I sit around in sweats all the time.”

What she does on her down time: “I work out. I swim. I play with the kids, I cook and I garden. We play Connect Four. We play Candy Land.”

Spears also said she admires Jennifer Lopez as a “classic beauty,” and how she loves Sarah Jessica Parker‘s funky, youthful style. To read more about Brit Brit in Lucky’s interview, go HERE!

Hey remember Sam Lutfi? The kind of manager-boyfriend-bodyguard of Britney Spears during her shaved head, pre-conservatorship period? Yeah, that one. Anyhow, he’s causing some more trouble around town. Aside from suing Brit Brit for defamation,  he’s now claiming that  a drug-sniffing dog found a cache of crystal meth in her home.

Yep. This is happening.

Lutfi claims Britney, along with her parents Lynn and Jamie defamed him by saying he drugged the singer during her aforementioned cray cray period.  In the legal docs, Lutfi talks about how he’s upset she won’t testify because as of now,  a judge has found she isn’t completely competent (conservatorship, people).

Lutfi says in the docs Britney should testify about an incident that happened in 2007, where he claims he “brought drug-sniffing dogs into her home … and they found a cache of crystal methedrine, which was destroyed shortly after it was found.

Lutfi goes on to say that “Britney should further testify that drug dogs found ‘hot spots of drug residue in the carpeting, where her young sons [ages 1 and 3] played during visits.”

Apparently, it was eventually cleaned and the carpet replaced. Still, it’s hard to believe this dude because he also calls Britney’s dad a racist and an abusive alcoholic…yeah, the same guy who is credited for saving Britney’s life.

Ugh, don’t these leeches have better things to do?

Britney Spears just struck a settlement with the former bodyguard who claimed the pop star sexually harassed him during his time working with the singer!

TMZ reports that Britney and ex-bodyguard Fernando Flores agreed to end their 2-year-long legal battle which started when Flores filed a lawsuit claiming spears was a naked mess to work for!

For example…the suit states on behalf of Flores that Britney would intentionally drop her cigarette lighter in front of Fernando and then bend over to pick it up, which “thereby exposed her uncovered genitals.”

Ew.

Flores also claimes that Spears abused her children (that’s a claim I believe more than her exposed lighter-dropping).  Spears denies all of Flores’ allegations, but sources tell TMZ that she (I mean, her conservatorship) coughed up a bit of money to make the case disappear. TMZ is told the settlement was amicable, but not financially beneficial to Flores, because the settlement moola didn’t even cover all of Flores’ legal costs.

Don’t mess with Brit Brit!  She’ll flash ya and leave you with no money!

Those NBC execs are really messing with Britney Spears‘ mind!

You see, The Voice‘s third episode is going to clash with the premiere of Simon Cowell baby The X Factor this week.  Eek!

The Voice starring Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green, and Blake Shelton was supposed to only air Mondays and Tuesday nights in NBC’s fall lineup.  In that way, fans of both shows could watch both and not feel like they had to prioritize one or the other.

Will the newly revamped X Factor featuring Britney Spears and Demi Lovato have a chance? We hope so, and so does a very irate Simon Cowell. Says the reality mogul:

“This is a cynical, cold-hearted, unprofessional way of doing business. Britney’s not going to appreciate the fact that Christina — who has been a bit of a rival — isn’t allowing Britney to have a night of her own. These guys have really got it in for us. It’s nothing short of dirty tricks… [Britney's] going to be devastated because she’s put her heart and soul into this…. I can’t bear it that the network is playing political games and playing with the audience.”

Simon’s gotta be right- why would NBC put their third Voice up against the premiere of The X Factor if not to make it some kind of rivalry? I think NBC is going to regret this, too. Who wouldn’t watch a premiere of a Brit Brit show for the third episode of ANY other television program?

Britney Spears‘ conservatorship has lasted over four years…but there’s more to it than what you might think!

TMZ has just learned that Brit Brit’s conservatorship (which has no definitive end in sight) is still ongoing because she has a serious medical issue that prevents her from making consistently sound decisions.

FOX just released their first promo pics for their fall lineup, which include Mariah Carey for ‘American Idol’ and Britney Spears for ‘The X Factor’.

Carey shows off her tiny figure (unless the photo has been photoshopped) in a tight sparkly orange dress. Britney looks equally amazing in her closeup.

Both stars are getting paid a pretty penny for their hosting gigs. Mariah is reportedly earning $18 million for one season, while Britney is earning $15 mil.

I think Mariah will do amazing as a judge on ‘American Idol’, but I think the jury’s still out on Britney. I have a feeling she’s actually not doing so well as a judge, but only time will tell!
