Monday October 1, 2007

Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's attorney.

Britney's former bodyguard likes the spotlight.

Tony Barretto (aka Fat Tony) -- who submitted an affadavit concerning his time in Britney Spear's employ to the court and then sold his tale of the pop star's drinking and drug use to a British newspaper -- and his attorney, Gloria Allred, called a press conference on Monday afternoon in Los Angeles, following a judge's decision to award temporary custody of Spear's children to their father, Kevin Federline.

"As the parent of two young children myself, I am sad to learn that Britney will no longer have custody of her children," Barretto told reporters. "However, I am happy to know that her children will now have a safe and more stable environment. I believe that Britney loves her children but I was concerned about some of her behavior in which I believe endangered them. Because of this new court order, Britney will seek and receive the help which she obviously needs so that one day, she can be reunited with her children."

In response, Federline's high powered attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan tells Us, "I appreciate Gloria Allred facilitating her client coming forward when he did. Today's proceedings did not involve his testimony. He may be called as a witness in the future."
