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."

61. Would it be fair to say that technically she is technically taking care of the kids, because technically Kevin F. has HER money from the divorce settlement and therefore technically it's HER money that is paying for Kevin's help around his rented house?

I mean... technically.

62. Ummm... I hardly think that an interview on People.com constitutes "facts", especially when it is given by Britney's lawyer. I am more inclined to believe court documents then an attorney's interview with People.com

63. You mean just because you're in the same house as your kids, that's not considered quality time?! And, how come I got to baby proof the pool? How are they going to be able to swim while I'm doing lines in the bedroom?! Come on, Ya'll!

64. Britney will ONLY regain custody of her kids if she WANTS to and as it appears right now, I don't think she really wants to. The judge looked at the facts and testimony by the parenting coach and came to an informed decision. K-Fed is in better shape to take care of these kids at this point.

All in all, I think these kids are going to end up like the kids in Talladega Nights, no respect for ANYONE!

66. #47, You are absolutely wrong. If someone was bashing me, calling me slut and the whole nine yards, and I waqs constantly hearing it from everybody on the planet, COMMON SENSE TELLS ME TO STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX AND SEE JUST WHAT THEY GETTING AT. You know, some SELF-REFLECTION. But she uses it as a crutch more than anything, to justify the stupid shiit she does. Oh my GOODNESS, WHERE DO YOU FANS COME FROM???

67. Golddigger or not, K-Fed hasn't done a thing to show he is unfit to take care of these kids, as far as the court is concerned.

Where have you been for the last year? Brit has not even started working on herself. In fact, she would rather lose her kids than be told what she needs to do. Do you really think she will get help if everyone around her just accepts her irresponsible behavior? In fact, that is probably what caused her problems in the first place. She has never been allowed to grow up and now can't cope as an adult. Enjoy her CD. I guess her pumping out the CDs is all that is really important to you. I hope you never have children.

69. For all you Britney enablers who said it was ok for her to diss the parenting coach, do you still think so? The judge got his report on what goes on in Britney's house with the kids from the COACH! She is gonna have to do a 180 with her life to get those kids back. But until then, you know she's going out to party tonight!

70. Aha! Reading the judge's order confirms for me that the reason Britney shaved her head was to avoid hair testing for drugs! A urine test is easy to beat and she knows it....

71. By-The-Way......................What happened to your OTHER dogs? What did you do with them? Does anybody know?

72. Good for all of you who are getting this: re-read #51, please, for those who are not. It's a hard job. And to "Tee"...back at ya. Did you forget the "n" at the end of your name? Sorry, but even teens know better than to let a toddler around a pool that's not fenced in or to breast feed a baby vodka. She didn't dispute this, and believe me, her lawyers would have. I feel so sorry for everyone involved in this but in case there's ever any question, my heart lies with those small, tiny, helpless children.

73. She is so devistated by the news, she and Alli won't get to Le Deux until at least 10:30.

74. Wow, my Britney doodle from Sunday actually came true. Bummer. On the brighter side, I love Blackout. Not bad for a habitual drug user and rotten mother!
