NEWS OF THE WEEK: Britney Spears's sons open to reconciling with singer

Lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, who represents the pop star's ex-husband Kevin Federline and his family has confirmed that Kevin and Britney's sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17, have been speaking to their mum on the phone. However, he denied a report claiming they had met several times in person and were already fully reconciled. "Reconciliations and the reunification of relationships are difficult and take time. They are sometimes complicated and always a lengthy process. The process has not really commenced, let alone (been) completed.”
