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.

61. #61, Having someone committed is one of the most difficult legal processes there is. Are you kidding me? Britney isn't mentally insane nor is she any more a danger to herself or others than 98% of the people she parties with.

What Britney is, is a spoiled brat with too much time and money on her hands. A huge bore.
But not exactly straight-jacket material.

62. I agree...LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE!! Isn't it enough that she's going crazy as it is.

It seems like everyone has something horrible to say about her, yet I'm sure if these same people stepped into her shoes for a day, they'd wouldn't be able to handle it as well as she has.

Let this lost soul find her way in this crazy world.

63. Leave her alone. The girl wants to get better and get well but the papparazi keeps bugging her. Give her peace of MIND. Put your place in her place. Try hard, to put yourself in her place. She is sick and tired of all what's written about her. Give her a break, at this point in her life. She needs to have peace of mind. Let's give her that. I understand that you are just doing your job but save Britney's life. She left the rehab maybe because she was track down by papparazi. Have a heart, please! We have judged Britney in so many ways. But I tell you, all she needs now is our understanding because she is going to some phase in her life. And we are not helping her if we continue to put her down. People are different and we all react differently. We don't know what is in her heart and mind. I am a little bit older than Britney. I have done crazy things when I was younger. And I just could not contain myself from laughing all the stupid things I've done in the past. And I bet, she will be that few years from now. Angelina Jolie has a wild past too or strange behavior but look at her now she is now a good humanitarian, a good mother and partner to Brad Pitt whom she affect in a positive way. She has become a better person. I say, Britney will surpass all of this trials in her life. Gradually, she will become the better Britney that we are all waiting for. But as a God fearing person, I don't want to contribute to a downfall of another person. Let's stop criticizing her because the girl needs all our support right now. GOD BLESS YOU, BRITNEY!

67. Here's something to consider.....what impact do you think to surging success of JT is having on her psyche,. It seems for every inch she falls, he climbs a foot over the course of the past few months.

Interesting sidebar - she recently bought a place in the Bev Hills near Mulholland which is rather close to his place up in Benedict Canyon. NOW her place there is on the market, as is the Malibu estate. Based on the reserve listing for the Bev Hills place, she stands to make about a million in profit I believe. Not bad for a couple of months worth of investment.....especially when you really can't recall those months due to ......uhhhhh......personal problems.

So how's everyone else out there doing at work today? : )

68. I must say I was surprised that she checked out today. I was betting on Friday evening/Saturday morning. Keep in mind, this is the wildest weekend of the year in Hollywood and Bev Hills. Lots of parties abound and the clubs on the strip are usually jumping a bit more than is normal for this time of year.

As well, she is staying at the Château Marmont in the heart of the strip which is sure to hopping all weekend with Oscar festivities. Nothing like seeing the success of others to chase away the blues of your own failing career... right?

By the way, this is the same Château Marmont (actually the only Château Marmont) where Jim Morrison (at a very low point in his musical career and personal life resulting in very bizarre behavior), tanked on booze and whatever, climbed out onto the ledge and flirted with the prospect of taking a header straight down onto Sunset Blvd. Shortly thereafter he would die mysteriously in Paris....but many believe it was the result of a drug overdose. It's also the same Château Marmont where John Belushi Died in a bungalow, of a drug overdose in 1982. Ironically, just prior to his death, he was seen totally tanked on booze and coke.........at The Roxy......the same club where Brit was tossing down her fav Jack & Cokes at the night after she "wigged out." Maybe she should have stayed across the way at the Mondrian....oh yeah, I forgot, she burned her bridges there the other night when she decided to shave her legs out by the pool. Maybe she should have stayed at the Hyatt....whoops.... that 's where Justin Timberlake's club "Chi" is located. Well there's always the Travel Lodge down the street.

By the way, the last that I heard, Lindsey Lohan was also calling the Château Marmont home. Let's all just hope the weekend goes well. BTW, it's Wednesday night - typically the biggest night for celebs to throw down in LA.

Take care of yourself Brit. I really mean that. Don't become a footnote on the underside tour of Hollywood.

69. I think she is quite obviously mentally confused and yes unbalanced, not that any of us are perrrrrfect. I am a bit older than Brit so I got all the wild partying out of me..I hope.. My life now is my children, my husband, a little work and my cat and music.. It sounds boring Im sure but I live for that now.. I was supporting Britney 100% but its everyday something bizzarre.. "Humpty Dumpty Britney is going to have a BIG FALL.." I think I will just close my eyes! I cant watch or listen to her crap everyday....sorrrryyy but enough is beyond enough.. 20 million strikes and your OUT OF THE GAME!!! GROW UP FOR YOUR KIDS & STOP BEING A RETARD!!!!

70. Brit should have spent more evenings at home with her kids. My child is 11, old enough to leave home for short periods, but I would never think of going out til all hours of the night, EVERY night, babysitter or not.

71. Bottom line…Britney is irresponsible. This is a human being who has been handed the world on a platinum platter and she still doesn’t get it. Her family, friends and fans have put up with her stupidity for years. Now her two young innocent sons are going to pay for her childish antics. Hope she saves some of those millions for therapy for the little ones.

72. how come you all are willing to bash this girl?
have you never EVER in your pathetic lives been so overwhelmed that you acted out? have you ever lived a life so public that your every blink was recorded? have you ever had people make huge financial gains off of YOU?
how many public lives have been lost because "adoring fans" felt entitled to know every last savory and unsavory detail of their life? how many people like Britney, ANS, PH, or LL who have money but little guidance and no where to turn without their fans commenting on every nuance of their life that comes the public way? these young stars, male and female need mentoring from normal, non public people to learn what real life is like. to learn there are limits to what is acceptable and what isn't. just like every young person in the world. these are people who hear not only every positive thing but every negative thing. every one of you who has posted a comment or blog positive or negative knows that there are limits on how much negative critism YOU personally could take before you blow. lol at me, critisize me, belittle me for my opinions but don't anyone publicly speculate on a celeb or non celeb, unless you have lived a life (young or old) without ever having made a mistake. i would gladly volunteer to help someone or anyone as desperate as this young generation, any way i could. but alas, i'm a no one.

73. Watched the video. She sure doesn't seem upset to me. Laughing, singing, chewing gum, smoking, and how caring by carrying her dog. She is not fit for anything, and hardly worth all the time we've spent on her. To watch the tape, she looked as though she was loving it.

74. Some people can be so self-righteous. All I can say that we can never understand what Britney's going through because we don't live the rich and famous lifestyle that she have with paparazzi following her around. There are a lot of aspects that affects someone behavior. We grew up with diff. backgrounds and family, that's why we react differently to some incidents in our life. It's easy for you to say that she have to this and that? Why is she like this and that? But you and Britney is different. And we don't know what's in her mind and heart or maybe there things that we don't know that had happened to her that makes her behave in a certain way. And to all the negative people who continue to put her down even if she is in a tough situation like this. If you cannot say something good about other people. Don't talk at all. Keep it to yourself. You are only making Britney's situation worst. Right now, she is vulnerable and the least she needs is your criticisms. She make some mistakes. The girl checks in the rehab, wants to get well and what did other poeple do. She was still judge. She went out because the paparazzi did not give her peace. They still try to annoy her inside the rehab. LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

75. i think they should take the kid's away from her, she's never with them anyway it's really sad if there being raised by nannies, i don't think k-fed should get them either he's shown he aint to stable either, give them to the grand parent's at least they'll be with someone who will love them and take care of them !!!!!!
