Celebrity Justice
Britney Spears Lawyers Up

Britney Spears has lawyered up again -- this time, she met with the lawyer who represented Mel Gibson in his DUI case.

Sources say Spears -- wearing a blonde wig -- went this morning to meet with Blair Berk, a prominent criminal defense lawyer whose roster of clients includes Lindsay Lohan, Halle Berry, Tracy Morgan and others.

We do not know why Spears chose to meet with Berk, although it's unlikely it has anything to do with her divorce. In her divorce case, Spears is repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser.

Spears could have met with Berk on a civil matter, as Berk handles both civil and criminal matters. Interestingly, Berk once repped Reese Witherspoon in her battle with hard-driving paparazzi. It's possible Spears went to Berk for similar reasons.

17. TMZ:

I say leave her alone, so there are no more excuses. The fans need to see the problem is her!

18. This confirms it. Britney is a very, very sick person. She is probably addicted to some very serious drugs. If she wants to play the cat and mouse game with rehab she is going to wind up like ANS.

19. Federline is a deadbeat dad - you sure don't see him anywhere near the kids do you? They'll never give him the kids - he's just trying to get more $$. There is no evidence that britney ever endangered her children so the gov. is not going to step in either.

Time to put a stop to the constant invasions of privacy. You betcha that is exactly why she went to the lawyer.

20. Where is your compassion? This young lady is obviously in the midst of a meltdown. She has had 2 children in less than 2 years, getting divorced, and has camera's focusing on her every move. She needs support...not more criticism. I only pray that her family and her real friends give her the guidance and support she so clearly needs.

23. so much for the benefit of the doubt. evidently she hasn't hit her bottom yet, but when the judge gives k-fed the kids, watch her ass jump into rehab then. i was rooting for her, but now just someone please take care of those poor kids.

25. I hope she doesn't get custody of the kids. If they were her first priority she would pay more attention to them instead of looking for ways to get attention in the media even if it is negative. You never saw Shar Jackson behaving like this. IIf she does get custody, it should be joint because she is far worse than KFed. How embarassing this is for her poor kids!

26. she lives in LA, goes to spots where she knows she'll be photographed, hangs with people who love to be photographed, throws up in cars, passes out at clubs, drives with her baby in her lap, shaves her head when she knows she's being photographed...

please. feel sorry for her? don't think so. she's also a Republican. that seals it for me. her career is over, i can only hope.

27. Sue those jackals. The paparazzi are totally out of control and probably won't be satisfied until she is dead and they can get pictures of it. Freedom of the press is a joke. This girl can't go anywhere without hundreds of these assholes popping flashbulbs in her face. I mean, is she really this big of a news story? No. these assholes just smell another train wreck and are trying to speed things along.

28. hey, brenda. what's wrong with being a "faggot?" I'm one, you skank.

29. She probably knows she is about to lose that kid...i'm still not convinced she has another one, no one has seen it. Has anyone? I think she is pulling another Tom & Katie thing. anyhow, she knows she screwed up...she is gone off the deep end....what reason did she give to why she even shaved her head?

30. The poor girl is falling apart. She tried rehab...but she was only 1 day and the paparazzi were taking photos of her. If she can't go to rehab for help without her privacy being invaded where can she go? We don't know what she has been up to, it's all if's and but's. Regardless of that, she is a human being and has made mistakes as we all do. Let her be and maybe, just maybe, she will be able to take the help she needs.
