Celebrity Justice
Judge to Brit -- You're Too Chaotic, Custody Denied

The decision is in -- Britney Spears has not regained custody of her kids.

Issuing his order today, Commissioner Scott Gordon gave Spears three visits per week, two from 12:00 Noon to 7:00 PM and one overnight visit. The visits will be monitored.

Spears and K-Fed are ordered to figure out holiday schedules with the kids.

Britney must submit evidence that she childproofed her pool area by Friday.

In the order, the Commish wrote that when Britney has the kids, "the environment at the house ranged from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all." The Commish also recounts what the parenting coach complained of -- that "during all three of my visits, Ms. Spears rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play."

According to the report, the coach wrote, "It seems that [Britney's] choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children."

The coach also said Spears seemed to have a "lack of general attention at times" but there was nothing she "would characterize as abusive in a traditional sense."

And then the most damning comment from the parenting coach: "The problem is that unless Ms. Spears realizes the consequences of her behavior and the impact that it has [on] her children, nothing is going to be successful."

346. Why is information involving minors being disseminated to the public? I would think these sort of court cases should be held behind closed doors, and not made public information until the children are grown up.

I hope Brit gets some help, if these stories are even remotely true, then obviously she is disconnected from reality and needs some help.

347. shannon.. the other woman is also aware that KFED smokes pot and thinks that is perfectly fine. Not a reliable source as far as what makes a good dad in my opinion.

348. Just me_ I have been through court numerous times with my ex. It takes herculean efforts to remove kids form one parent to antoher. My ex also smokes pot. Wrong yes but he doesnt do it with the kids in his custody. I dont smoke pot but many do. The judge obviously has more info than is being let out becasue it is very difficult to take kids away form their MOM. They have to have very good excuses. AND. if K Fed were so bad dont you think that Brits Attorneys would punch holes in his parenting and get them out of his care? Use your brain. If she has a problem she needs to fix it. She doesn nothing to try to fix either the medias attention/accusations (court records are accurate) nor does she try to get her kids back by having K Fed branded a bad Dad. Come up with something better.

351. Why should a divorce affect your parenting skills or become an excuse? That is when 'both' parents need to try twice-as-hard to soften the impact for the children. Not play time for the adults.

I see comments here from either bad parents themselves, or they don't have children yet.

352. i am a proud mother of 2 teenage boys and i would just die if they didnt live with me i dont know how she does it, giving birth to sweet babies who just want to be loved cared for and nurtured through life it is really really sad, she needs help a whole lot of it she should just crawl under a rock and not come out for a long long long time until she is well enough to care for the children that she gave birth to.....i hope that one day before the boys are old enough to remember all of this that she will straighten up and get her act together for the sake of her children or else when they are older they will hate her.....get some help think of your babies and just do it.....

353. .A mind-reading "parent coach"? Maybe the coach didn't see anything because Britney chose not to act like a trained seal in front of her by performing on demand. Just maybe her conversation and interaction with her children were not for public consumption and subject to state monitoring, review, and evaluation. In other words, the "judge" needs to get out of her bedroom, her bathroom, her den, her home, and her life. Enough's enough. Either take her kids or get out of her way. This sordid, creepy judicial voyeurism is sick and sadistic. Make a decision soon, because even Britney, when it comes to state intrusion into her personal life, as former justice Blackmon said-has the right to be left alone. You trashy tabloid types need to close your doors, take down your tents, send your clowns(gossipmongers)home, and move your pathetic circus down the road to your next destination-victim(celebrity)that is.

354. Well I said it before and I'll say it again that those two babies are the priority here. The adults make the choices they do in life and children are helpless and vulnerable to the bad choices their parents make. If it is true that the children had no schedule and ate and slept whenever Ms. Spears allowed them to this is obviously not a good thing. Children need routine,nurturing, stability and most of all love to grow up healthy. Sounds like they have not received that in mom's home. All Ms. Spears cares about is herself...she comes first in her eyes. Does she have any idea how lucky she is to have two beautiful little boys. I don't think so. Truly sad.

355. time for kfed to have his money cut off on scuedule and he gets no more for child support.

Posted at 1:23PM on Oct 31st 2007 by crymeariver

356. i think they should test kfeds hair and etc as well as hire a private eye to keep an eye on him.

357. Did you see that parenting coach? She looks like a hag, I think Britney needs a little more time to bond with maybe the right coach. It is hard to be a single mother and with the whole world watching your every move. Remember she does love her children, she just needs to love herself. It looks like she does but she is a very lost person. Lets follow Kevin around and see what his life is about. Don't be haters!!! She is a human being.

358. I JUST READ ON ANOTHER "NEWS" WEBSITE THAT MR K-FED IS SMOKING POT ON THE SET OF HIS NEW MOVIE!!!!!!!!

HOW COME THEY ARE TESTING BRIT FOR DRUG AND ALCOHOL AND NOT HIM???
HUMMMM!!!
AND HOW COME HER "BODYGUARD" ONLY CAME FORWARD WITH THESE ALIGATIONS AFTER K-STUPID WAS SERVED THE DIVORCE PAPERS???

359. Why are all you people talking about following Kfed around? The decision has already been made.

Posted at 2:32PM on Oct 31st 2007 by DIANE T

360. Why isn't TMZ taking pics of Kfud toking up on the Set?
This whole sordid affair is disgusting. I said it once and now twice. If Kfud was a REAL man, he would have stuck by Britney through thick and thin and got the help she needed. The same for her family. If someone has mental or drug/alcohol issues, they are going to rebel against any help from loved ones. But, people who really love the Alcoholic/druggy/mentally ill person....stand by them and make sure they get the help they need. Shame on the whole cast of losers here. Good luck to those babies....
