FINALLY!

Mark Vincent Kaplan, Federline’s lead attorney, had asked for nearly $500,000. Commissioner Scott Gordon issued the order in response to arguments presented last week. Spears’ attorney Stacy Phillips argued that Kaplan was overbilling and that Federline can pay his own legal bills, but Gordon wrote that Spears’ actions led to a great majority of the litigation and delays in the case.

Berry told Oprah Winfrey on her show last year that playing a mother in her latest movie, “Things We Lost in the Fire,” helped convince her that motherhood was for her. She also said she and Aubry do not intend to marry.
