Kevin to Britney: Pay up!

Britney Spears

Now that Britney Spears is doing well again, Kevin Federline wants a taste of the action. Britney’s ex has reportedly put the pop singer on notice, saying the financial terms of their child support agreement need to be renegotiated now that she’s raking in loads of dough, The Blast reports. The terms of their agreement were reportedly hashed out after their three-year marriage ended in 2007, when Britney was deep in the throes of a mental health crisis and wasn’t earning as much money. Now that she’s got a successful Vegas stint behind her and is mounting a tour this summer, K-Fed is in “show me the money!” mode. No word on how much he’s asking for, but Britney reportedly banked as much as $15 million a year from her Vegas gig. According to The Blast, K-Fed isn’t looking for a big, nasty public battle over the cash, but wants to handle the matter privately. He’s always been such a gentleman.

Jennifer Lawrence says she’s ‘self-educated’

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is not a high school dropout, because she never made it to high school. “I dropped out of middle school,” the Oscar-winning actress tells “60 Minutes.” “I don’t technically have a GED or a diploma. I am self-educated,” she says. At the age of 14, she got bit by the acting bug and never looked back, and Lawrence says she doesn’t have any regrets over her decision. “I really don’t,” she says. “I wanted to forge my own path. I found what I wanted to do and I didn’t want anything getting in the way of it. Even friends, for many years, were not as important to me as my career.”
