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.

46. I wonder if the rehab placed booted her because of the loss of privacy to the other clients.

49. Spears has enough $ to live off the rest of her life and never work another day. If she can't stand 'show biz' and all it involved then she ought to go back to Louisanna buy herself a horse ranch, quit showbiz and raise her da*n kids. She has NO excuse.

54. Just cause you party for a a few months doesn't mean your an alcholic. I've seen more people drink and party everday other day whether they have to work or not. She's just in the public eye and everyone just wants a piece of her. It's too bad that she has to be soo famous to ge all this attention. I could see why she would be so distraught. I hope the best for her and her children.

55. I, for one, am sick of everyone blaming the paparazzi for Brit's mess. She WANTS the attention. There have been several incidents that scream "LOOK AT ME":
--Stepping out of the car with no panties
--changing into USED "stripper attire" at a NYC club
--passing out on NYE's in Vegas night club
--shaving hair is PUBLIC salon
--Checking in and out of Rehab, TWICE
as well as countless other strange and inappropriate incidents. I don't feel sorry for Brit and the mess she has gotten herself into. K-Fed had a PREG girlfriend when she met him, what kind of message was that to her? Duh, did she think he'd treat her any better? She runs all over town demanding attention and then cries that she wants to be left alone. She lives in LOS ANGELES!! If you want privacy, away from the spotlight, move! Several celebs have done just that. Demi Moore moved her family to Idaho to avoid intense media scrutinity. Others are raising their kids in different, more remote locations all over the country. There are many, many prime examples of celebrities that lead fairly normal lives and do not SEEK and CRAVE the attention Brit does. She should take lessons from them. Kate Hudson is a good example for her. She just recently went through a divorce and has a kid and you don't see her in a drunken stupor all of the news??

Do everyone a favor, especially yourself and your boys and STAY HOME! There is no need to be out partying every night of the week!! Get a grip!

56. Sorry #9 kristy and jane and thank you gagal and others who say the photopraphers have ASOLUTELY NOTHING IGNTO DO WIT HBRITNEY' s and other famous people's behavior. It is part of the job of being famous to have for photo's taken when you are out in public BU TNOT in your private space like your backyard or home. She was at a public place, Rehab Promises, even though it is a privacy place like a hospital.
She was not and can not be photographed inside and I am sure some paparazzi have entered Promsies as a patient and continue going every time a big goes in. I would not be surprised. YES, the paparazzi are relentless. HOWEVER, the famous are also relentless when they want to talk about their private lives when everything is going good and want to be photographed. Did people mag, which is a paprazzi filled celebrity mag, make Brit be on the over with an interview about her wedding? NO. Did they make her be on the cover with an interview with Kevin and the oldest baby? NO. It is not postpartum or antyhign else ,but BRINTNEYandher family and her and them hand,leingth efame game. That fame game is a vicious thing esp. for those people not strong, and mentally healthy..Ask Anna Nicole.
If you do not want to be in the fame game, then go work at Walmart!
Brit is bad off and cnaonly end up inrehab or thegraveyard. I think she might be seeing a lawyer to stop her apretns from gaining custody of her or something like that.The girl is sick and has been walking on this path for about 2 years now. This isth eend of it but it started two years ago.

57. Brenda - you actually CAN have someone committed to a psychiatric facility involuntarily, under the Baker Act - if she is deemed a threat to herself and others. Personally, I don't know why this has not been done yet. People have been Baker-Acted for a lot less.

58. LEAVE HER ALONE

59. I think it is REALLY unfair for all of us to pass judgement on Britney. After all she is human and has the unfortunate influence from Paris Hilton who.... thinks she is untouchable. Britney is allowed to make mistakes as we all do. We also get caught up in things that go way beyond what we were intending. It may be drugs, may be prolonged post pardom depression. May be just a mom stressed out and acting out for the attention. Could be that SHE has a plan and no one knows about it.
I care for her because she is human and deserve respect in this trying time in her life. I will always buy her albums and watch her videos because lets face it... that is all I am looking for from famous people. They work for us. :)

60. I think she's obtained a lawyer because her kids might get taken away. She needs to go back into rehab AND STAY THERE TILL SHE'S DONE! Hear, Britney!!! I hope she is reading these... You don't want to wind up like ANNa Nicole, do you? I can't understand, for the life of me, how she would want to be out partying night after night. I have had four children and never wanted to leave them for partying. I am sure many women echo that statement. Wise up. Britney.....
