Britney Spears granted more time with sons

Pop singer Britney Spears has been granted permission to spend more time with her two young sons after making a personal plea to a judge.

Spears reportedly requested permission to spend nights with her sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James.

According to reports, lawyers for the singer asked that she be allowed to stay overnight with her sons, who are now in the custody of ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Spears later arrived at the court herself to make a personal plea to the judge at the hearing.

A Los Angeles Superior Court spokesperson later confirmed that Spears had been granted permission to spend one night a week with the boys under the supervision of a court monitor.

Spears' lawyer later said that she wanted her mother Lynne to act as monitor for the overnight visits but did not confirm that the court had agreed to this arrangement.

Federline's lawyer said that his client had no problem with the change, saying: "Mr Federline has always been willing to jointly parent these children... with certain conditions in place."

A court previously granted Federline custody of the two children after Spears failed to comply with conditions that the court had set down.

Meanwhile, Spears' new album 'Blackout' will reportedly be released two weeks early, on 30 October.
