Next up: Shannon Funk served

The wrath of K-Fed continues: Britney’s former assistant, Shannon Funk, has been served by Federline’s Israeli commando. I’m pretty sure K-Fed keeps commandos on retainer now. I’m also pretty sure the wrath of K-Fed is more the publicity seeking of his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Funk was served as she got off a Jet Blue flight from New York City this late last night. I’m going to assume that she was actually served as she exited the airport – though the way most of the other articles are writing it, you’d think commandos were lined up on the tarmac or something.

“The legally embattled singer’s most recently excused assistant, Shannon Funk, was the latest member of the entourage to be served with a subpoena by Kevin Federline’s legal team, requiring her to testify about Spears’ parenting skills in the couple’s ongoing custody case.

“The 21-year-old Funk, who served as Spears assistant for just under a month, before getting the ax in the wake of a disastrous cover shoot with OK! magazine, was served with the legal papers Tuesday by Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, just after touching down at Southern California’s Long Beach Airport.

“Funk had just returned from a short stay in New York City, where she was snapped by paparazzi enjoying a girls’ night out with, ironically enough, senior members of the OK! magazine staff.”

Funk signed a confidentiality agreement when she was hired by Britney, but several websites are saying she’s the “anonymous source” that’s been giving out so much information about Spears lately. Then there’s that issue with her being photographed having a girls night out in New York… with senior staffers from OK Magazine. There’s a lot of speculating that they paid for her trip to NYC.

I’m not sure that Shannon Funk wil be a very reliable witness. She only spent a month with Britney before she was fired, and by most accounts that’s not because Britney fires too easily; Funk was a disaster from start to finish. She’s widely blamed for the OK Magazine debacle (you know, the one with the dog pooping on the expensive dress – she was the one who used the dress to wipe up the dog’s poop). That might have just been spin to take the heat off Britney, since she had similar “meltdowns” several times in the following weeks. Who knows, I’m just saying Shannon Funk’s deposition might present a problem, in that she seems like she’d be an unreliable witness.

Apparently there’s another round of subpoenas being issued by Mark Vincent Kaplan. That guy really wants to make sure he goes after everyone who’s ever seen, talked to, or smelled Britney Spears. Next up, K-Fed will be serving Britney’s goldfish. I heard all she ever feeds it is junk food – those prepackaged multicolored flakes. And his water? Not purified, despite what Britney’s team will tell you.
