Celebrity Justice
Baby Mama To NFL Star: Keep Paris & Brit Away!

TMZ has learned Arizona Cardinal's QB Matt Leinart has settled his custody dispute with Brynn Cameron, but it's still war!

Sources say under the terms of the confidential agreement, the former couple will share joint legal and physical custody. Brynn will have primary custody, but Matt will have substantial contact with his 10-month-old son, Cole. We're told under the temporary agreement, which lasts through football season, Matt will fly to L.A. every Monday and spend 24 hours with Cole. On alternate weekends, Brynn will fly with Cole to Arizona the night before Matt's games -- Matt will spend the evening before the game and the day of with his son.

In the courtroom hallway today, a TMZ staffer heard Brynn say, "Britney and Paris aren't allowed to be around the baby!" We're told that's not part of the custody settlement. As far as we know, Leinart has had no recent contact with either woman, but we do know he sucked face with both of them in the past.

Several people familiar with the former couple say Brynn has been jealous and upset because Matt refused to marry her. Brynn's peeps say that's ridiculous. For her part, Brynn has questioned Matt's commitment to his son. Matt is the one who petitioned for more custody.

Under the settlement, while one parent has the child, the other can't visit Cole uninvited. We're told the first time Matt had the baby overnight, Brynn stayed outside his door the entire evening.


Under the deal, Brynn, a basketball player for USC, can travel with Cole during her season. As for moolah, the temporary order locks the amount of child support she receives at $12,500 a month.

Both Brynn's lawyer, Ron Rale and Matt's attorney, Laura Wasser refused comment.

16. britney probably shouldn't be around her own children, much less someone else's.

17. Brynn--Here is some advice: Concentrate on your child's wellbeing. Not trying to cash in on him or get pissed at his father for not marrying you. Um...did you really think he was going to settle down with you just because you so happen to "accidentally" get pregnant? Wise up. Get your butt back in school & make your own $.

Women like you make me sick. Thinking you're going to get the gravy train cause you got knocked up...

18. Wow, Matt has a lot going on. He's been playing real well off the field!!!

19. What kills me is these idiot people whoring around all over the place and they don't use protection! Brynn, of course, was trying to snag some child support money but what was Matt's excuse for not using condoms? He messes around with Herpes Hilton and Britney, and probably a few dozen other skanks, then Brynn's Big Plan pays off and she "accidentally" gets pregnant, but NOW what halfway intelligent guy would want to pork her when she was used AFTER Herpes Hilton and Britney? So, Brynn, you got the child support, but you now have a rep for being a diseased skank. AND a whore.

20. What an enormous waste of fossil fuel! All that flying? How irresponsible!

21. I can understand her not wanting those 2 airheads around her baby. But she needs to move on with her life. Hey Brynn, Matt is not going to marry you so go back to school and get an education and stop waiting for him to rescue you. It's sad for the kid , but this is what happens when 2 people have a baby without any committment.

22. The problem is both are jerks—it takes two have a child. Here’s the scenario--good-looking, BMOC, jock with a bright and rich NFL career ahead of him meets a beautiful and popular co-ed jock for college romance. College students met, date, and then break up and go their different ways after graduation—a two-way street. It happens all the time across the USA. A woman always decides if and when she goes to bed with a man and she also decides if she wants to get pregnant or not—it is her personal responsibility. The man can either trust the woman that she is on the pill or use a condom. He was a dummy for not using one—it is his personal responsibility as well. I don’t recall any disclosed marriage plans from previous periodicals. At one point of time, she decided unilaterally their relationship was going on the next stage of marriage. She decided to get pregnant hoping they would get married and he didn’t want to marry her. Why would anyone want to marry someone who doesn’t want them? Now, an innocent child is born who didn’t ask for this situation. A fight ensues over custody and visitation rights, both having different expectations. She wanted $30K (now 12.5K) a month support for 1 child—ridiculous when the child and mother were not living a lifestyle warranting that much. Yes he makes millions but let us look at being fair. With $150K a year she can buy a new home, buy a new car biannually and fully fund the kid’s college, medical and life insurance, vacations, clothing, day-care expenses etc and still have money left over. He is a personal responsibility to be an active father and provide for all those things but not make the mother rich in the process—that is what she really wanted in the first place-- fame and fortune.

23. I don't understand how Matt could be interested in the likes of ex-con, Hilton and crazy, unstable Britney - to say nothing of how DUMB they each are - duh!. At least Brynn is getting an advanced education and she puts the other two to SHAME in the looks department as well. Frankly, she is just as well WITHOUT him, don't pin your hopes on a LOSER!

24. Thats nice that you can jump on him. He is the one who petitioned for more custody. She is probably a gold digger who saw an open. Just because she carried his kid doesnt mean he is obligated to marry her. What if it had been a one night stand. who would abort a football players kid when they are clearly worth 12,500 a month.

25. $12,500 a month? I would fight that if I was Matt. We all know that is not all going to the baby, but to pay for mommy's toys.

27. Ruel 1- Always use condoms. If you are a man in a long term relationship, wear a condom. Wear a condom. It is the only means of birth control a man has. It takes some time, but those 1-2 mins. is well worth the hassel later in court.

Rule # 2- Women, please stop trying to trap men into marrying you. The oldest trick in the book never worked and still hundreds of years later ,it still does not work. It will never work. If he loves you and wants you and wants to marry you , he will whether there is a baby or not ...if you are supermodel beautiful or not, whatever. If a man wants to marry you, he will . If he does not want to marry you, baby trap or not, your beauty or not, he will not marry you. Many guys, I know some drop dead good looking ones, married less than stellar looking women in the beauty dept. of course , the women had many other wonderful qualities like a sense of righteousness, inner beauty, smarts, class...Why marry these girls??? Because they wanted to marry these women. Plain and simple period.
Rule #3 Ladies,think about bringing a child , your child, in to this world who will not be recognized by the father even if he pays child support--EX. Mel B. with Eddie Murphy.
Think about doing the bulk of the parenting work solo ,even if he pays dearly in child support, adn yo uwatchonthe sidleines as he goes of fan dmarries and has kids all inthe mags,and your child is part of that famil yand adore sthe father. Bittter are we.

I personally think the male birth control pill is long overdue. It is still being developed. Viagra is not as impt. as a male birth control pill.
I am a woman ,but men really are at a lost or on th emercy and word of their partner, even a partner in a long term relationship like this Bryn Bitch and Matt Leinhart.
He relied on her word and she tried to trap him.

This BrynBitch is pissed to the max that MATT LEINHART will not marry her!!!!
People, she is getting $12, 500 a month for now for the child but you know that money is also used by her for her spa treatments, travel, designer handbags, etc.


As the child gets older, Bryn will ask for more money and will get more money. It doe sfromhis bank accts. to her hands. I think the money in child support cases should go from the guy's bank accts. directly to the school, insurance medical/dental companies, etc. Why does the woman need to have the check in her hands.
-------------- -----------------------------------

Why are you guys ragging on Matt? He is paying. He has acknowledged his child.
He wants to spend time with his child. the scehdule is ridiculous. A pro ball player does not have much time during the season to see his wife and kids who live with him in the same house. The nights after practice. Onweekends for home and away games , NFL players have to check into the local team hotel(home games for Sat. and Sunday) and away games, they leave town on Fri. or Sat. and return on Sunday late night / early Monday AM hours.

28. TMZ is so obviously in Wasser's pocket. Slant the story in Leinart's favor and they feed you the lopsided scoop, eh? Leinart'sparenting is all about P.R. and tryng to get more endorsement deals... which aren't flowing to an absentee, hard-partying father. Doubtful that Cameron spends two seconds worrying about Paris or Britney. She has more class in her little finger than the two of them together have in their whole bodies. And, today's hearing had nothing to do with $$$. That was decided last month, and TMZ still has the figures way wrong.

29. This TEN MONTH OLD child is too damn young to be flown here and there by his stupid immature parents for ANY reason!

The baby should be removed from both parents' custody ASAP and not returned until the child is age 21!

30. X17 has spoken exclusively with a source we've witnessed to be very close to Britney -- we grabbed him as he left Winston's Friday night with Brit and Alli (he snuck out the back door, but X17 was there!). "Jeff" as he called himself (not Jeff Kwatinetz who was rumored to be Brit's new manager), has been close to Britney and/or Britney's family since before all of her recent troubles began. And here’s what he told us ...

“Britney does NOT do drugs!,” says "Jeff" who tells us he’s strictly against any type of drug use and against anyone involved in any type of drug use. She might enjoy a drink or two when she goes out but that’s it. And the lollipops? -- "They're Tootsie Roll pops, not suckers laced with drugs or whatever Kevin's camp is claiming -- I've never even heard of that!" She doesn't even go out on nights when she has the kids and she becomes very sad immediately after they leave. Her world revolves around her children -- 98% of her energy is spent on her children and at this point her career takes a distant second.

Britney never hated Kevin. He was "hardly even present during most of their marriage" but for the sake of being with her children 24/7, "Jeff" says, she would have considered staying with him. However, in order to be a happier mom, she felt it would be best to part ways with him. Jeff says: “Staying with a liar just to make life easier for your children -- if that's not pure devotion for your kids, then what is?? Britney can get any guy she wants, it's just hard to weed out the good ones from the bad ones"

Britney is NOT worried about Kevin's battle for custody of Sean and Jayden because she knows no one around her has evidence or proof of her doing anything negative that would make her an unfit mother because she has been nothing but a responsible, loving mom. According to Jeff: "Anyone close to Britney knows that she's an angel when it comes to being a mom and a friend."

Everyday life for Britney with her kids consists of 23.9 hours/day focused on the boys, "mom, mom, mom constantly," NO soda in their bottles -- in fact hardly any soda in the house, claims "Jeff." Britney spends all day playing with the boys while they're there and allows no strangers in the house and conducts very little work-related business when they're around. “Her kids are everything to her, there's no doubt about it,” he says.

The negative? -- our source says, "You mean besides the fact she's never made me those potatoes au gratin like she promised? -- haha!" There's nothing normal about her life right now." With the media focused on her like they are and the constant legal battles arising from her family, Britney is anxious over the constant pressure and threats. “She's a young girl, who's finally attempting to be totally independent and that's just something that the people around her -- business people -- do not want to see happen. When someone gets fired, they immediately decide to hop on board with all the haters. However you never see them report anything negative when they're employed, they just run to the tabloids and try to sell their bogus stories after she's canned them. Any celebrity of her magnitude will tell you how hard it is to have your life scrutinized every second of the day, however she remains as polite as possible to the press. She doesn’t feel as if she needs to defend herself in the media and I agree. Just don't get in the way of her kids; she is a mother and she is very protective of her sons, as she should be.”

On Britney's family -- our source says, "They have issues of their own that they need to work on. They need to quit blaming Britney.” He's totally "turned off by Britney's family at the moment" He's also somewhat disappointed in her mom for being so naive and trusting the people that Britney fired rather than trusting her own daughter. It was due to the influence of Larry Rudolph on her family that Britney was forced in to rehab and while she was there, according to "Jeff." He also claims Promises staff administered medication on Britney despite a record of constantly clean drug tests that showed no traces of anything in her body. He says Promises quickly backed off from the accusations of drug and alcohol abuse and then claimed postpartum depression after the drug results were clean, but either way ... Britney was FORCED to stay in rehab because her family, her manager and officials at Promises were all threatening to take away her children unless she completed the treatment program. “I think Lynne does love her daughter, however I also believe Britney's anger towards her is justified. But come on, all moms and daughters have their arguments. Britney is just upset right now, her family needs to just be there when she's ready to call upon them."

So why'd Britney shave her head? -- Kevin taunted Britney that even his smoking of marijuana in her presence (Jeff showed us a pic of Kevin on his phone of Kev with a joint in his hands, partying with his friends) would leave traces of the drug that could be picked up by drug testing when they lived together and he threatened to use that against her in a custody battle. After Britney shaved her head, she begged her mom and Kevin to test the hair from the salon however no one went to claim it. Instead, Larry and her family staged an intervention in a hotel room with the same interventionist that put Britney's father Jamie in rehab and also worked with her brother. Britney begged for them to give her a drug test but eventually felt there was no other option but to enter a treatment program to prove to her family that she was clean and to protect herself from any unfounded accusations in a potential custody battle. Britney met with attorneys over a month ago regarding legal action against Promises. "I think she certainly has a case against the rehab center, I feel what they did to her was not only cruel and embarrassing it added more ammunition aiding Kevin's eagerness for custody over her finances, whoops I mean children."

"Jeff" raised the question -- why would Kevin file a civil case if he were truly worried about his kids' welfare when they're with Britney? He could have just called Child Protective Services and gotten any urgent claims handled that way, however his dispute now is clearly for financial gain. Britney isn't hiding anything. And why didn't he fight for full custody of his kids with Shar Jackson if he loves his kids so much?"

Our source says "Britney is the most generous person you could meet -- too generous" and that she doesn't focus on money at all. She has supported her family financially for years and feels that they shouldn't be so quick to judge her at times. Britney does have a good relationship with her sister Jamie Lynne. Despite the current rocky family emotions "Jeff" does feel that a reconciliation sometime in the future is possible because he says, “Britney is all about family. I just believe at the moment, she’s angry, she feels betrayed and she has every right to feel this way. Deep down, that entire family does love one another and it's just a matter of time before they're all together again."

Britney and the press -- “Britney is very clever. She's a seasoned celebrity veteran, if anyone knows how the press spins stories, its Britney. Get it straight people, Britney doesn't go out when her kids are home!! Come on, she has shared custody there is half the week when she's not with her kids! The press needs to quit being so ignorant at times. If you had 50 cameras and cameramen hovering around you, inches away from you at all times, pushing and shoving, wardrobe malfunctions are bound to happen.”

Britney's love life? -- "Jeff" says “Britney's like a little girl at times" and is "shy around guys. She's young and single and would love to find the right man; how can anyone blame her for that. I think she forgets sometimes that she’s a mega-star, someone who changed the face of music, an historical icon that still has a lot to learn and a lot more still to offer."

Whew! This is the interview every magazine is trying to get, but you have it here, exclusively on X17online.com ! "Jeff" has turned down countless offers rumored to be over $500,000 to tell this story but decided to speak directly to X17 outside the club (after a little prodding!). He wasn’t interested in money, just in setting the record straight.
