Eight weeks after the birth of their second child, Britney Spears has dumped her husband of two years, aspiring rapper Kevin Federline. The ink is not yet dry on the divorce papers but it’s already big news on the blogs.

Martin (http://mus ingsofabysta nder.blogspot.com) writes: “Britney is barely an adult, and yet she’s already married and divorced twice, and now she’s depriving her very, very young children of a full-time relationship with their father. He may be a slob, but she’s no princess.”

Greg Krehbiel (http://crowhill.net/blog) has a legal take on the split: “The way the laws are right now, a woman can decide to end a marriage — whether the man has done anything wrong or not — and she’s likely to get primary custody of the kids... Of course this wouldn’t be a financial hardship for Spears, who can go on a tour and make more money than most people will make in their lives. But if she wants to opt out... without proving any fault on Federline’s part, she should have to leave the kids behind.”

A golden chapter on the golfing greens has not escaped attention. Prabhu (http://prabhukrish.net) is disappointed that Jeev Milkha Singh’s triumph at the Volvo Masters is not getting the applause it deserves. “One girl reaches the fourth round of US Open, the nation goes gaga. Eleven men in blue, who play for the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and not for India, keep losing non-stop, accolades and attention… And a guy wins an European Masters in golf, silence.”

Not totally true. Jeev certainly has backers among bloggers. John Cheeran (http://johncheeran.blogspot. com) in a post titled “Jeev Milkha: Breaking into big league” writes: “Jeev Milkha has paid us back for our faith in him with a splendid triumph... He did not have many Indian golf heroes to emulate. In that sense, Jeev has been a pioneer.”

Another golf hero Jyoti Randhawa has his share of fans. How he will manage to hold his own against Tiger Woods is the latest point of discussion. Log on to http: //thelatestsportsgossip. blogspot.com for detailed posts on the HSBC Champions golf meet in Shanghai.
