The Britney Spears trial is over. The case has officially settled.
Under the terms of the settlement filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, before July 30, Brit must pay K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Kaplan, $250,000 for fees.
As for child support, K-Fed has scored. As we first reported, he's getting 5k a month more -- it's gone from $15,000 to $20,000 a month.
The agreement does not mention visitation, but we know Brit has three days and one night a week with the kiddies and that will increase as time goes on. We're told by fall, she'll have a second overnight a week.
Brit never asked for custody, because she's still under a conservatorship. So K-Fed has sole custody and she has visitation right. We're told Brit is ecstatic.

The stumbling abomination that is Andy Dick has finally checked himself into rehab, and all it took was ... well, who really has the time to go through all the stupid, drunk, drugged up s**t this guy has done recently?
Of course, it's not real rehab. Dick will battle his demons for your viewing pleasure on a future trainwreck reality show called "Sober Living". Sources close to Dick say the comedian in name only made the decision to check in after his drunken arrest at a chicken joint earlier this month.
TMZ has learned that Dick WILL get paid for his stint -- after all, he's got lawyers to pay.
Stay Tuned!

So we just got this video of Ethan Hawke, clearly wanting to show off his new baby, Clementine.
Why would he do this, you ask? Well, now that the kid is out in the open, the paps have just lost their incentive to follow him and cash in on an exclusive shot. And baby momma Ryan holds the baby and jokes the baby pics are now worthless.
Now Ethan Hawke is free to lead a life of peace with Chicken Hawke.

Say what you will about Shanna, but she knows how to create dramatic tension. Before she poured fuel on the fire and drinks on Kim K., she ignored her foe in classic caddy lady style. The video was shot at the Carmen Electra party in Malibu.

When Guns 'n' Roses drummer Steven Adler decided to try and kick his drug habit by joining the "Sober Living" house, he certainly couldn't have imagined it would land him in the klink.
Sources close to the production say after a "confrontation" in the house, a member of the "Sober" staff called the cops, who came and popped Adler on an outstanding warrant.
His own peeps tell us the staff called the fuz because Adler was allegedly doing drugs in the house.
David Weintraub, Steven's manager, told TMZ, "Steven Adler's arrest was an unfortunate situation that didn't have to occur in the context of him starring in a television show."
No response from VH1.

Once upon a time Alicia Goranson's future seemed bright, playing the original Becky Conner on "Roseanne." That was over eleven years ago.
Alicia, 34, resurfaced last week at Gowanus Yacht Club in Brooklyn -- working! Goranson was reading tarot cards and telling patrons lies their fortunes for money.
Somewhere on the "Scrubs" set, Sarah Chalke is laughing.
