Celebrity Justice
Monitor to Brit -- Don't Go Changin'

TMZ.comTMZ has learned that the monitor who has supervised Britney's visits with her kids told the court the interactions at home are nothing abnormal -- with a little exception. Seems the monitor has noticed Britney goes to her room a lot to change clothes!

In another development, in open court yesterday, Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Fed's lawyer, said something very interesting -- after it was officially revealed that Spears has passed two drug tests, Kaplan responded by saying that although the drugs tests were important, they were not the center of gravity in this case. The upshot -- Kaplan seems to be saying Britney's core problems may be psychologically or biologically rooted.

Stay tuned.

106. TMZ it was a closed door court hearing and you have already lied in early accounts of the hearing and you are lying now!!!

"Spears stood up for herself Thursday for the first time in her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline and faced the court commissioner who took her kids away, citing drug and alcohol abuse by the pop princess.

By the time the closed-door session was over, Spears was awarded one overnight stay a week with her two little boys even though she won't be left alone with them - someone appointed by the court will be monitoring her.

She spent about an hour before the commissioner, who earlier declined to rule on her emergency request to expand visitation.

She then drove from the courthouse in a white Mercedes-Benz and was swarmed by news media at a stop light, escaping only after sheriff's deputies ran from the courthouse to aid her.

Neither Spears nor her attorneys spoke to reporters after the hearing.

Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini announced that the visitation order had been modified to permit the children, who were recently placed in Federline's custody, to have one overnight visit a week with their mother.

Spears was previously allowed monitored visits with the children but no overnight stays.

Parachini said he could not say who the overnight monitor would be.

Spears testified during the hearing, he said. "Her voice was soft and respectful."

110. Brittney isn't crazy she is depressed. Any normal women would be. Let alone living your life for everyone to see. Kevin impregnated her twice within two years, ruined her career, and then decided to party and leave her at home. She did the right thing and divorced him. And like any normal women instead of staying at home and getting depressed she tried to go out and have fun to get him back. Instead it back fired on her, because broke Kevin got tired of not having any money he had got used to. So of course he is trying to take her kids away from her. That is the only way he is going to get a steady large income. And of course he is staying home and not going out, because his lawyer is advising that. It's common sense, stay home and act like a dad for a while, and receive lots of money. Keep partying and not act like a dad, and have to get a regular 8-5 job. Why did he not fight Shar for their kids?

111. so i would change clothes all day too if i had the wardrobe she has! i love to dress up, as any young woman does, and i would try on all my outfits, especially if i had no where particular to go. thats why she dresses so funky. she cant decide what she wants to wear cuz she has so much, so she juss wears all at once! i still am rooting for her, i think she is going crazy from all the paps...let her be a human being, make mistakes, go nuts, we all go thru it, juss not on national views. she will be fine, she juss wants to do what she wants, and feels she is a normal person who should be able to do what she wants. if she wants to go to target like a normal person, she should be able to. haha, leave britney alone!!! that should be the motto of 2007!!!!!

113. Kaplan is right about mental problems for Britney. A sane person would have never even dated KFed much less marry the king of jerks. Kaplan wants money and fame and will do anything for it. Kaplan does not give a rats ass about those little boys. Brittney's attorney should request monitoring for KFed but since he dumps the boys on the nanny I guess they are safe.

114. Makes sense. Easy for her to blame drugs for her behavior and then "get clean". She did go into rehab 3 times. But then she claimed she was never addicted. Who in their right mind would go into rehab if not addicted, especially when you have children? She is trying to cover up mental problems and hopefully her psychological testing will pick up on that. There's some reason that no one is supporting her in this latest comeback. Jive made it clear that she was completely responsible for that awful video she has out and while they say they support her I don't see it happening, nothing like in the past. They seem to be more concerned that we know that she is making all her own decisions.

115. Why do you all think you are in a position to comment on her personal life? No one truely knows what is really going on with this custody battle. Don't you people have better things to do than analyze Britney Spears. I'm all for reading about celebrities as I find them interesting and usually read gossip magazines just to see what they are wearing; however, I do not think of myself to be in any position to judge and comment on their personal lives. You people need to chill out and find something to do other than spending hours studying Britney Spears. Read a book. Educate yourself.

118. sorry #31 'Gitarzan', you are right I shouldve looked up bipolar first. Its not enough that I AM bipolar II, had the same symptoms as britbrit, and it IS treatable with medication.
but what do I know? you're probably borderline personality disorder and like they say, it takes one to know one...

119. laa laa, bi-polar, and Leela
have the most common sense here
instead of saying she has some untreatable narcissistic spoiled brat syndrome look at her behavior, the umbrella incident, the quicky marriage, head shaving- they all spell one thing
B.I.P.O.L.A.R.
