Britney Spears, who will enter a Los Angeles courtroom to battle for custody of two toddler sons later this month, is now being accused of leaving the boys alone to meet up with rumored love interest/VMA performance partner in crime Criss Angel.

According to the National Enquirer: “Kevin had left the children – Sean, 23 months, and Jayden, 11 months – with Britney to go to North Carolina to work on a Show. But on Friday night, Aug. 24, the singer realized that she needed someone to watch her babies so she could visit Criss in Las Vegas.”

“Britney says a housekeeper was at the home with the sleeping babies when she left, says the source, “but the nanny says when she arrived no one was watching the boys.”
