The former couple has been embroiled in a bitter 18-month custody battle over sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, since the breakdown of their marriage in November 2006.

Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells E! News, "The case has been settled. The court still has to approve it."
However, Spears' family lawyer Lynn Soodik - who does not represent her in this case - has hinted the singer may request extra visitation in the future.

Imperioli Had Trouble Finding New Role
18 July 2008 9:00 AM, PDT
Sopranos star Michael Imperioli was desperate to find a killer acting role after his long-running stint on the show - because its success was so untouchable.
The actor - who played Christopher Moltisanti in the long-running mob drama - is returning to TV to fight crime, in an American adaptation of hit British cop show Life on Mars.
But he insists his mega success with his infamous role left him on a chase to find an equally challenging part.
He says, "I definitely was picky. Something like The Sopranos, that fulfills your creative drive for such a long period of time and challenges you, is a hard act to follow.
"I thought the (Life on Mars) script was very well written, first of all, and a really cool idea. And I thought he's different enough from what I had done in the past, although it seems to be most of the stuff I've been doing is either a cop or a robber."
Imperioli will portray lead actor Jason O'Mara's partner in the series, a role played by Philip Glenister in the British version of the show.
Life on Mars is expected to air on 9 October.

Bend It Like Beckham Director Snubs Hollywood
18 July 2008 5:04 AM, PDT
Filmmaker Gurinder Chadha has turned her back on Hollywood - to concentrate on Bollywood.
Chadha, who directed the cinema hit Bend It Like Beckham, gets countless offers of work from American studios.
But she prefers to make British films - and even wants to try her hand at Indian movies.
She says, "I still get sent stuff from America because they know me there as a director who makes things people want to see, but really I'm not interested in it anymore.
"I'm more interested in doing stuff here and maybe in India. My next project will take me back to Beckham territory again, so it's also very English.

The Golden Compass Sequel Axed?
18 July 2008 5:04 AM, PDT

Scholars slammed the children's movie last year for being anti-God and anti-religion - and even officials at The Vatican stepped in to criticise the film, which stars Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman.
Now author Philip Pullman, who wrote the His Dark Materials trilogy the film was based on, has confirmed he has not been contacted over a follow-up, adding to industry speculation a second installment will not be made.
He says, "When the first film was in production, I was talking to the studio and to (writer/director) Chris Weitz and producers quite frequently. I'm sure I would be now if the sequel was in production."
But he admits he still has high hopes for another film: "I know everyone would like to see a sequel and I know I'd like to see it."
Film studio New Line Cinema is refusing to discuss the future of the trilogy.

But Del Toro has refused to follow in Jackson's footsteps, vowing to give movie fans something new.
He tells Britain's Maxim magazine, "If I thought it was about following (Jackson), I wouldn't be doing it this way.
"It's a matter of raising on it. I think The Hobbit has a peculiar sprit in relation to not only the trilogy, but also to Tolkein's work.
"It'll have respect for what's been done, but also its own individuality."

She adds, "I wanted to be stronger, to have more energy."
