Ex says Britney doesn’t want her kids

While courts decide how to handle representation for Britney Spears in her ongoing custody battle for little Sean Preston and Jayden James, Britney’s first husband claims she doesn’t even want the kids back.

Jason Alexander, who shared 55 hours of wedded bliss with Brit back in 2004, spoke to In Touch about his ex and her visitation-only goals.

“She wants to see them, but she doesn't want to be a full-time mom,” Jason told the magazine. “She said it doesn't matter if she doesn't get them back full time, and that she can always have other kids later on.”

According to the former Mr. Spears, he and Britney rekindled their friendship in recent weeks, and he learned of Britney’s shocking stance firsthand. “I got a phone call, a voicemail, that said, ‘Hey! It’s me. I know we haven’t spoken in a while.’ It was Britney. She said she’d call me back, and we’ve been speaking ever since.”

Despite a general disinterest where her wee ones are concerned, Jason assured In Touch that Britney is improving — somewhat. “She doesn't sound as crazy right now as she did three weeks ago, but she's not right.”

In regard to her custody revalation, he added, “She isn't well enough to know what she wants.”

Roseanne waxes political
Comedian Roseanne, who gave Oprah Winfrey a cyber-smackdown last month, continues to steer clear of humor in her daily blog. Instead, the posts on Rosanne’s World offer constantly updated glimpses into the Domestic Goddess’ take on the presidential primaries. Oh, and there’s the occasional Oprah dig, too.

After January’s incident, in which Roseanne referred to Oprah as a “closeted Republican” who preferred Barack Obama because O doesn’t like “other women who actually stand for something,” Roseanne issued an apology. “I am so sorry for sounding like I don't like Oprah or Obama. I do.”

As of Wednesday morning, Roseanne had more to say of the candidate and the Queen of Talk. “Feeling the pressure to keep my mouth shut and join in the obama gestalt...but I won't until after the convention, or until he is officially picked.” She added, “I might like Obama better if Oprah was not touting him. I do not like her pushing ‘the secret’...(the worst piece of fascist garbage ever foisted on the poor and needy).”

Of course, that was downright neutral compared to Thursday’s Obama-themed post, which promised a bleak future if he wins the Democratic ticket. “This will be a resounding democrat defeat! … If a repub gets in, there will be NO UNIONS AT ALL by the end of the first term...itinerant chinese workers will be brought in everywhere there is a business with a job...this is fact!!!”

While Roseanne clearly prefers Hillary Clinton, sometimes emphasizing that fact with caps lock, she did state, “To be fair, alot of people will probably vote for mccain rather than hillary too.”

Dish on the fly
Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the “Night Before” pre-Oscar party. That’s when Jennifer Aniston gets her first face-to-face meeting with Brad Pitt since he packed his bags in 2005. Not awkward enough? Us Weekly reports Angelina Jolie will attend the bash, too. “Jen wants to go but knows it would be a disaster waiting to happen,” an insider revealed to Us. Even so, a friend of Jen’s insists she’s ready. “She told me avoiding Brad and Angelina is more painful than seeing them.” … Some may question her care for cats, but Paris Hilton insists she keeps her dogs in style. “I have 17 dogs,” the heiress-actress said in a quote on ContactMusic. “So I built a doggie mansion in my backyard. It's a replica of my house with a chandelier and the same furniture. They all live there.”… Shock rocker Marilyn Manson’s in the booze business after lending his name and artwork to a Swiss distillery’s absinthe line. The beverage, dubbed Mansinthe, can’t be sold in the U.S., but connoisseurs at Epicurious.com got their hands on some. The verdict? It’s a no-go for anyone with a sense of smell. “The No. 1 problem was the aroma, which some verbally compared to sewage water or swamp mud …” Or as one reviewer put it, “If a smell could speak, this absinthe is saying: ‘Do not touch.’”
