Apparently, all of the chaos that ensued during the police standoff at Britney Spears' house late Thursday night and into early Friday morning was initiated by a phone call made by Kevin Federline who informed authorities that Britney had a handgun in her bedroom with her children. How did he know about that!? Because he's the one who originally bought her the handgun for one of her birthdays!!! Seriously. You can't make this stuff up! The UK's News of the World reports:
We can reveal that Kevin Federline feared his ex would use the Beretta pistol he bought her as a birthday gift to MURDER their two young sons.
And it was his desperate call for help that started the dramatic three-hour siege at her Hollywood home as she held armed cops and a specialist SWAT team at bay and refused to hand over the boys."
That's smart. Give crazy Britney a gun for her birthday. Although it's not reported when exactly K-Fed bought her the gun, I assume, for his sake, that it was while they were still married and the world didn't quite know how much of a lunatic she is. Either way, K-Fed basically proved that despite him being the better of the two parents lately, he's still got the mentality of a 3-year-old! As for specifics, NOTW further reports:
Convinced that in her out-of-control state she would use the weapon to kill the lads then turn it on her herself, the wannabe rapper rang his lawyers who alerted the authorities.
Last night as Britney was sensationally released from hospital after throwing a tantrum, a source close to the warring couple revealed: "Kevin knew she was on the edge and might snap at any time.
"Knowing there were TWO firearms in the house, including the Beretta, he wasn't taking any chances— hence the massive police response.""
Ahh, and another page is turned in the Britney/K-Fed saga. I still can't get past the fact that K-Fed bought her a gun. What did he do? Did he say, "Morning honey, happy birthday! I've got a present for you! Open it up, it's a Beretta! Like a real-life gun." Well, on second thought, it was probably during his wannabe rapper phase and he probably said something more along the lines of "Yo, Britney, you know you're my boo. So, for your birthday, I wouldn't get you nothin less than the best 'Gat' I could find. It's the least I could do, I bought it with your own money!" Yea, that's probably how it went down.
