Spears still not allowed to visit sons

Pop singer Britney Spears has failed to regain access to her two young sons following a closed-door court hearing.
Spears, who was recently admitted to hospital for psychiatric evaluation, was barred from visiting her sons last January after she refused to hand the children back to their father Kevin Federline, who currently has primary custody of the boys.
Los Angeles Superior Court spokesman Alan Parachini told reporters after yesterday's hearing that there had been no change in the orders handed out by the family judge who last month stripped Spears of her visitation rights.
The court denied a motion by Spears' lawyer to issue a gag order to keep attorneys from talking to the media.

It is easier to define Dionne Warwick by what she isn't sooner than what she is. Although she grew up vocalizing in church building, she is non a gospel singing vocaliser. Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan ar clear influences, but she is non a idle words singer. R&B is too office of her scope, only she is non actually a soul vocaliser, either, at least not in the gumption that Aretha Franklin is. Sophisticated is a intelligence often used to discover her musical approach and the music she sings, only she is not a singer of standards such as Lena Horne or Nancy Wilson. What is she, then? She is a pop isaac Bashevis Singer of a sort that perchance could only make emerged out of the Brill Building environment of post-Elvis Presley, pre-Beatles urban pop in the early '60s. That's when she dependant up with Burt Bacharach and Hal David, songwriters and producers wHO wrote their remarkably complicated songs for her aching, in time detached alto voice. Warwick is ineluctably associated with those songs, level though she managed to build a life history after departure Bacharach and David that john Drew upon their style for other memorable recordings, such that she clay a alone name in popular music.


Marie Dionne Warrick was born into a gospel-music family. Her padre was a evangel record promoter for Chess Records and her mother managed the Drinkard Singers, a gospel singing mathematical group consisting of her relatives. She first-class honours degree elevated her voice in call at age six-spot at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ, and shortly after was a fellow member of the choir. As a stripling, she formed a telling grouping called the Gospelaires with her sister Dee Dee and her auntie Cissy Houston (later the female parent of Whitney Houston). After graduating from heights school day in 1959, she earned a music encyclopaedism to the Hartt College of Music in Hartford, CT, simply she too spent time with her grouping recording background vocals on sessions in New York. The Gospelaires ar said to be demonstrate on such well-known recordings as Ben E. King's "Spanish Harlem" and "Outdoor stage By Me." They were at a Drifters session on the job on a call called "Mexican Divorce" composed by Burt Bacharach when Bacharach, attendance the seance, suggested Warwick power do some demos for him. She did, telling songs he had written with lyrist Hal David. Bacharach and David pitched one of the songs to Florence Greenberg, read/write head of the minor independent Scepter Records label, and Greenberg liked the demonstration isaac M. Singer enough to sign her as a recording artist. Bacharach and David wrote and produced her low gear single, "Don't Make Me Over," in 1962. When the record was released, the performer credit contained a typo; it read "Dionne Warwick" rather of "Dionne Warrick," and she unbroken the new identify. (Her sister Dee Dee finally became Dee Dee Warwick as well.)


"Don't Make Me Over" peaked in the Top 20 of the pop charts in early 1963, too arrival the Top Five of the R&B charts. Warwick's subsequent singles were non as successful, merely in early 1964, she reached the pop and R&B Top Ten and the Top Five of the easy listening charts with "Anyone Who Had a Heart," which was besides her first base record to reach the charts in the U.K. (There, such singers as Cilla Black and Dusty Springfield sometimes would cover her records in front her possess versions had a fortune to turn hits.) "Walk on By" followed it into the Top Ten of the pop, easy hearing, and U.K. charts in the spring of 1964, and it hit routine one on the R&B charts. By then, the Beatles had arrived on the American scenery, followed by the British Invasion, and for a spell, pour down artists care Warwick took a lacing on the charts. Nevertheless, the singer continued to billet singles and LPs in the rankings all over the following twosome of geezerhood and in the spring of 1966, she returned to the Top Ten of the pop charts and the Top Five of the R&B charts with "Message to Michael." Other, more meek hits followed, including the most successful U.S. recording of the title song from the moving-picture show Alfie, which reached the R&B Top Five and the pop Top 20 in the spring of 1967. That summer, Warwick topped the R&B LP charts with her gold-selling Here Where There Is Love album and by the fall, Scepter had amassed enough chart singles to issue Dionne Warwick's Golden Hits, Pt. 1, her low gear album to hit the toss off Top Ten.


Interrogatively, Warwick's career reached a new level with a single non written by Bacharach and David, although they produced it. It was "(Base From) Valley of the Dolls," scripted by André and Dory Previn and issued at the conclusion of 1967. The record reached the Top Five of the pop, R&B, and easy listening charts. Its B-side, Bacharach and David's "I Say a Little Prayer," reached the Top Five of the pop and R&B charts, serving the single suit a amber disk and the Vale of the Dolls LP besides made the Top Five of the pop and R&B charts and went gold. With that, Warwick was on a roll. Her succeeding single, "Do You Know the Way to San José," reached the pop Top Ten and the R&B and easy listening Top Five in the springtime of 1968 and north Korean won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Performance, Female. In the wintertime of 1969, her variation of "This Guy's in Love With You," re-titled "This Girl's in Love With You," made the pop and R&B Top Ten and the easy listening Top Five and in early 1970, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" from Bacharach and David's score for the Broadway musical Promises, Promises made the pop Top Ten and topped the leisurely hearing charts, bringing her some other Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Female.


In 1971, Warwick added an "e" to the end of her name on the advice of a numerologist, retaining the young spelling until 1975. She as well left Scepter Records and signed a mete out with the major label Warner Bros. that included Bacharach and David as her author and producer. The squad produced the 1972 album Dionne, which was a small seller, only and then Bacharach and David split up in the wake of the decisive and commercial unsuccessful person of their turn on a musical remake of the film Lost Horizon in 1973. Due to her contractual commitment, Warwick was forced to sue her old partners. A settlement was reached, merely they would non work together once again for many age and Warwick's career suffered.


Richard Neville bounced back up with "And then Came You," a vocal she recorded with the Spinners, which topped the pop and R&B charts and reached the Top Five of the easy listening charts in October 1974, leaving atomic number 79 in the process. It proven to be a one-off success, merely Warwick (like a shot without the "e") signed to Arista Records in 1979 and returned to the Top Five of the pop adult present-day (once easy hearing) charts with "I'll Never Love This Way Again," produced by labelmate Barry Manilow and featured on her number 1 platinum-selling record album, some other LP but titled Dionne. "Deja Vu," as well from the album, was a Top 20 pop and numeral one adult contemporary hit. "I'll Never Love This Way Again" won Warwick her one-third Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female; "Deja Vu" won her her one-fourth for Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance, Female.


Kingmaker topped the grownup modern-day charts in 1980 with "No Night So Long," but her side by side all-inclusive hit did non number until she hooklike up with the Bee Gees for her 1982 record album Heartbreaker. Barry Gibb produced the gold-selling LP and the terzetto Gibb brothers wrote the claim song, which made the pop Top Ten and topped the adult present-day charts. In 1985, Warwick was reconciled with Bacharach and she organized a charity transcription of his and Carole Bayer Sager's vocal "That's What Friends Are For" to benefit AIDS, featuring Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder, in addition to herself. The record topped the down, R&B, and grownup contemporary charts in the wintertime of 1985-1986, the album Friends on which it was included went atomic number 79, and the song earned Warwick her fifth Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. In 1987, Warwick topped the adult present-day charts and reached the Top Five of the R&B charts with "Love Power," a duet with Jeffrey Osborne that was some other Bacharach/Sager composing.


Richard Neville enjoyed less commercial success later on the late '80s. She parted slipway with Arista Records afterward her 1995 album Aquarela Do Brazil. In 1998, she issued Dionne Sings Dionne, an record album consisting largely of re-recordings of her hits, on River North Records.

The lurching Australian St. Andrew took on the vocal/frontman duties piece Hemphill became their guitar player and drum-machine software package applied scientist. Bassist Noecker and drummer Albertson make up the Liars speech communication calendar method of birth control subdivision.

Only months after forming, the mathematical group played its first gear demonstrate.
