Well, it was just a matter of time before Israel was dragged into this titanic conflict. In the colossal custody fight between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, both turned to the Jewish State for help in their self-defense.
The Israeli connection came to light when Kevin hired Aaron Cohen, a former IDF counter-terrorism commando, to serve papers to people in Britney's inner circle, whom Kevin believes have been refusing to cooperate with his lawyers.
"Aaron runs a Hollywood security firm called IMS Security and gets the job done," says an insider source quoted in the Bosh. "Kevin is determined that Aaron will serve all of Britney's pals with court papers, forcing them to give legal depositions in which they will have to answer questions under oath about Britney's parenting skills, in addition to anything they've witnessed regarding Britney and drugs, alcohol or sexual conduct."
That'll add up to a lot of papers.
Cohen's first "raid" reportedly took place in the early morning hours of August 12, when he served papers to Britney's cousin and confidant, Alli Sims, 26, not to be confused with the virtual community of the same name.
That Sunday morning, says the source, the Israeli's investigative team watched Alli's movements and pounced on her as she and Britney's ex-boyfriend, music producer J.R. Rotem, left a party at a private home in the Hollywood Hills shortly after 2:30 am. "Britney was still in the house and didn't see this happen," says an eyewitness quoted by the Bosh, who added that Cohen ended up tossing the subpoena -- compelling Alli to testify about Britney's um, unconventional, parenting methods -- into the open window of the car she and J.R. were leaving in.
Now that's service above and beyond the call of duty.
"Britney came out of the party soon after and burst into tears when she found out what had happened," says the source. She later rejoined Sims and Rotem at her Beverly Hills mansion.
It turns out that Rotem, a multiplatinum music producer, is another Member of the Tribe, born in South Africa to Israeli parents.
J.R. takes pride in his relations with Britney. The Blender quotes J.R., described as "wearing enormous silver Elvis sunglasses and a diamond?encrusted keyboard around his neck, his hair glistening like a bird in an oil spill," admitting. "I f--ked Britney wheelbarrow style. Just kidding." He waits a beat. "It was tractor style."
The Blender adds: "Back in December, five weeks after Spears sent Kevin Federline packing from Malibu to the Valley, sandwiched somewhere in the midst of her cataclysmic mental mudslide -- between paparazzi shots of her bald beaver and her nude noggin, grainy footage appeared of the postpartum pop star climbing onto Rotem's lap, cigarette in hand, leaning in for a kiss. They had been working together on her next record and capped the night with ... some curbside canoodling."
Well, Britney was not going to take her Israeli subpoena service lying down. She was scared.
"She truly believes someone wants to hurt her," says an insider quoted by the Bosh. Britney is freaking out over the crates of hate mail she?s been receiving lately, say sources. "Most of the letters are from mothers who say she is such a bad role model that it would be better if she had never been born," says an insider at her record label. "It?s made her extremely paranoid that everyone is out to get her."
Just because you're paranoid and promiscuous doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
So Spears did the natural thing in such a situation: she called for Israeli help.
Britney hired her own force of bodyguards to protect her and she herself has been studying Krav Maga, a hand-to-hand combat system developed in Israel. "Britney said she needed to learn how to protect herself and her kids," says the insider. "She said she's really nervous about the people that are always around her when she's out in public, and it freaks her out so much that she can't sleep at night."
But with all that canoodling and imbibing does she really have time to sleep anyway?
The natural next step is for Brit to venture into the belly of the beast, if not its bald beaver: Tel Aviv, the Israeli city that never sleeps. There she can canoodle to her heart's content with the best security experts in the world.
