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.

33. I don't think she left the second rehab cause of photogs, I don't remember any news of her even being in the first rehab until after she left, so she could have stayed there.

And if she didn't want the pics taken of her shaving her head, she should have done it at home.

She needs to grow up and take care of her children and stop focusing so much on herself. When you want to be a star, you are gonna be in the public eye so deal with it. If she wants to clean up her image and her life, she needs to start by chilling out on the partying and club hopping.

34. I'm sick of everyone blaming HOLLYWEIRD's problems on the media. They chose this for themselves, they knew what they were doing, they crave the publicity. If you don't like it get out of the business. As for Britney who cares!!!

36. Lets just wait and see what happens in the next day or so.... with the pap's intruding on her very first day at rehab maybe she just left for the day to meet with this lawyer because how is she going to get help with them trying to watch every move while in rehab and I am sure the other patients are not happy with them swarming around the facility. I sure hope she is getting the help she needs there and really does go back! What a shame!

37.
Brittany does not need to have custody right now.. Temporary custody should be given to her parents or (I hate to say this), K-Fed.. You haven't seen him pulling this crap.. I am not a big fan of his; however, right now, he seems to be the most fit. Anyone acting like this does not need to be around her children by any means. If she seeks proper help, which it is apparent she will not do,then go from there. But for right now, no way...

38. ITS OBVIOUS, SPEARS HAS LAWYERED UP TO SUE THE JEW COHEN AND THAT BRITISH TABLOID THAT HE SOLD HER OUT TO. SHE PROBABLY MADE COHEN SIGN A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT. ALL THE RICH CELEBS MAKE EVEN THE DOG WALKER SIGN THEM SAYING THEY WILL KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT. COHEN DIDN'T

BRITNEY'S FIGHTING BACK!

ON THE OTHER HAND, SHE COULD BE TRYING TO KEEP HER MOTHER AND OTHER HANGERS ON FROM WITHOLDING HER MONEY FROM HER WHILE SHE IS HAVING HER NERVOUS BREAK DOWN.

39. If she wanted privacy - why did she seek so much public attention? Many people have problems - we just do them at home, in the dark, with our friends, by ourselves. A normal person doesn't run all over the US doing things for the cameras. She can't really complain about the lack of privacy now - she loves it and needs it other times. She can't pick and choose and she knows that. Everyone being interested in her now while she is in the dumps is equal to when she is hot. We do have the right to know what is going on - in a way it is our money that created her and our money that destroys her.

41. She probably needed to hire a lawyer to sue the a%% of those people that are trying to make a profit off of her hair and personal items.. You go girl...its about time you start taking back some of your sanity,,I say leave her alone...Let her get on with her life,,who cares what she does,,we don't know her.
