Britney Spears is set to make a big splash Monday by personally appearing at the FOX Upfronts in New York City for the announcement that she will be joining "X Factor."
As we reported, as of Friday AM the deal was NOT signed, contrary to various reports. There were some fairly minor issues that still needed resolving and both sides were hoping to finalize it by end of day Friday or over the weekend.
Britney will not sign the deal because she's under a conservatorship -- Co-conservators JamieSpears and Jason Trawick will do the honors.
Our sources say ... Britney and FOX both think a personal appearance is essential in creating buzz for the show.
Britney Spears' fiance Jason Trawick is officially the singer's newest conservator -- the judge in her conservatorship case just signed off on giving him legal power to govern Britney's affairs.
TMZ broke the story ... Britney's dad and conservator Jamie Spearsfiled the petition earlier this month, asking the court to add Jason as a co-conservator. We're told Britney also wanted Jason on board as co-conservator.
After the hearing, we overhead the lawyers say Jamie is "thrilled."
The move makes total sense ... considering the two are set to be married.
As co-conservator, Jason is now empowered to help decide how Britney will earn and spend her money -- including the $15 million deal she's about to sign with "X Factor."
Britney Spears is not taking a chance of losing the dude who wants to plunk down $4,253,000 to buy her Beverly Hills estate -- we've learned the conservators have cancelled the court hearing tomorrow which would have allowed other prospective buyers to overbid.
We broke the story -- Britney accepted the $4.253 mil offer, which is impressive considering the house was listed at $2,995,000.
Since Britney is under a conservatorship, the probate could generally hold a hearing which essentially turns into a bidding war. But we're told Britney's conservator and her lawyers asked the judge to cancel the hearing -- which was scheduled for tomorrow -- and they got their wish.
So, the $4.253 million offer sticks. It's good news/bad news ... even though Britney got significantly more than the asking price, she bought the estate in 2007 for $6.8 mil.
Britney Spears is about to have a brand new conservator ... her fiance Jason Trawick ... TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us ... Brit's conservators will be filing a petition later today to add Jason as a co-conservator ... a move that makes total sense considering the two are all set to be married some time in the near future.
We're told Brit's dad Jamie Spears -- who is already one of the conservators -- is "thrilled" about the move.
Britney Spears could get $1.5 million more than the asking price of the house she's selling ... not bad for someone who's been under a conservatorship for 4 years.
TMZ broke the story ... Britney sold her Beverly Hills estate for $4,253,000 ... which is pretty impressive, considering she was asking $2,995,000.
But it gets even better for Brit. Because of the conservatorship, the sale must be approved by the probate court later this month, and during the hearing anyone can go before the judge and overbid the buyer.
We just got our hands on court documents, which show that the minimum bid the judge will accept is $4,466,150.
But here's the bad news. Britney paid $6.8 mil back in 2007. Still, all and all, she's doing better than most in this market.
As we first reported, Britney will be moving into a rental with her 2 kids and her fiance Jason Trawick ... until they find something to buy.
Britney Spears has sold her Beverly Hills estate ... TMZ has learned, but that's not the big thing. Get this ... it was listed at $2,995,000 and real estate sources tell us it sold for $4,253,000.
We're told Britney's people listed the house at a modest price, expecting multiple bids and possibly even a bidding frenzy. It looks like it worked out for them, because the price they accepted is more than a million over asking.
And it gets better ... because Britney is under a conservatorship in probate court, there will be a hearing on the sale next month, and anyone can come to court and overbid the accepted offer.
The house is in the Summit, an exclusive gated community -- and it's the house where Brit famously had a meltdown in 2008 ... when she was strapped to a stretcher and taken to a hospital.
As for where Brit will be moving ... real estate sources tell us she and fiance Jason Trawick will be renting a house for the short term, until they find something they want to buy.
Voila -- the first photos of Britney Spears' new engagement ring ... snapped last night as the singer and fiancé Jason Trawick partied the night away in Las Vegas.
3-carat round stone ... diamond-paved band ... not too shabby for the world's favorite 30-year-old pop legend.
TMZ broke the story -- Britney's hosted the intimate engagement celebration at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, before taking the ring public at Jason Trawick's big celebratory dinner at the Chocolate Lounge in the Sugar Factory Resturant.
After the big dinner ... they hit up the Chateau nightclub and danced until the world ends.
Britney Spears will finally show off her engagement ring TONIGHT -- but before it goes public, she's holding a private gathering in Vegas to give her friends and family the first peek ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the intimate event will take place at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino BEFORE Jason Trawick's big celebratory dinner.
We're told the owner of the PH -- Robert Earl -- will personally attend the event ... and plans to make a toast to the happy couple.
As TMZ first reported, the pair will then move on to a MASSIVE celebratory dinner at the Chocolate Lounge at the Sugar Factory in the Paris Hotel ... followed by a dance party at Chateau nightclub.
Jason Trawick jumped the engagement gun ... 'cause Britney Spears just posted a message hinting that he ALREADY popped the question ... and TMZ has learned she said yes!
Britney just went to her Facebook page and wrote, "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for. Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo."
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Jason proposed last night ... and to celebrate, he organized a giant party in Vegas.
TMZ broke the story ... Britney knew Trawick was going to pop the question ... but it was SUPPOSED to happen tonight. Seems he just couldn't wait!
Sources close to the couple tell us ... the MASSIVE celebratory dinner will go down tonight at the Chocolate Lounge at the Sugar Factory in the Paris Hotel ... because Brit Brit LOVES chocolate.
We're told there will be a chocolate fondue fountain and all the men will get chocolate truffle cigars.
After dinner ... the gang is set to go to Chateau nightclub and party the night away.
We're told everyone involved in the fiesta has received specific marching orders -- anything Britney wants, Britney gets.
Britney Spears is getting engaged to boyfriend Jason Trawick, TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources who are definitely in the know say Jason plans to pop the question tonight ... in Las Vegas.
We're told Britney knows they're getting engaged, so it's not going to be a big surprise.
Sources say Britney's conservators have given their stamp of approval. The matter will go before the judge in the conservatorship case but it's virtually certain Brit will get the judge's sign off.
And we're told ... Jason did it the old fashioned way ... by asking Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, for permission to marry his daughter.
And they're also doing it the new-fashioned way ... we've learned there WILL be a prenup.
Before Justin Bieber went toe-to-toe with a photographer -- sparking a police investigation -- he trained with "Iron" Mike Tyson! Wondering how they ended up together? Well, we got Tyson on the phone ... and you won't believe his excuse for kicking it with Biebs. Plus,…
