Breaking: Britney Spears Files for Divorce

Shes shed the post-baby weight, and now its time to shed some dead weight; TMZ.com announced Britney Spears filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline.

Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.

As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Sept. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.

Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events."

Spears has yet to comment on the matter.

Shock of the century!

Seriously, I'm sure the straw that broke the camel's back was the release of his damn album. How can she live with the embarrassment every day? Go Brit-Brit. She'll be better off.

Who would have thought that airtight relationship would have ever ended?

She's stupid to waive her right to spousal support. Once his album goes double platinum, she'll be kicking herself in her fabuously liposuctioned ass.

If those wonderful kids can't make it, what hope is there for the rest of us.

Yes, so there's still a chance for me and her. Now excuse me, I need to go shower, shave, iron my clothes, and oh yeah, make a lot of money.

(Edited) Wait, maybe I don't need the money, 'K-Fed' didn't have any. Maybe I just need a retarded nickname and try to be a wrestler.

Well, none of that seemed to be a prerequisite for her past marriage.

I'm happy for her.
