Celebrity Justice
Britney Comes to Attention -- Deficit Disorder

Posted Nov 15th 2007 11:50AM by TMZ Staff

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned Britney Spears will now play the ADD card in court tomorrow, arguing that her medication caused a positive reading on a drug test last week.

As we first reported, a source connected to Britney first said Provigil, a drug used to treat narcolepsy, was the cause of the false positive. But then TMZ reported that Provigil would not show up on a court-ordered drug test.

Then Brit's peeps said the reason for the positive reading was that she has asthma, and used an inhaler of Albuterol. But then we reported the drug Brit tested positive for was an amphetamine -- and Albuterol is not.

So now -- Atttention Deficit Disorder -- just like Paris. And based on our information -- just like Paris -- we believe Britney's prescription is for Adderall. That drug fits the bill, because Adderall is an amphetamine.

The lawyers are in court tomorrow. We're told K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will renew his motion to prohibit Brit from driving with the kids in the car, especially after blowing a red light at a dangerous intersection a few days ago -- with the kids in the back seat.

6. "especially after blowing a red light at a dangerous intersection a few days ago -- with the kids in the back seat"
give it up... it happens! We all just don't have you cameras watching our every move.
What makes you people think that you're so perfect and do no wrong?? It makes me sick to see all this bs about Brit. She should have her kids because there's no proof of neglect or abuse. Why isn't k-dead getting drug testings? He's a known drug user!
Britney is not perfect.. just like everyone of us. "Judge not, lest ye be judged." I know that means nothing to some of you but it will one day.

8. Adderall? Jesus, every damn celebrity has ADD. Hope someone points out the effect ADD meds have on someone who does not have that disorder.

And why has this not shown up in previous drug screenings?

9. hmmm...i'm not buying this one...she would have to disclose ALL scripts she's taking BEFORE the test....next

10. She's should lose her kids. She's on way too much medication for a person her age, there's NO WAY she needs all that. She's on adderall for weightoss probably. I hope she O.D.'s, I'm SO sick of her redneck ass.

11. adderall has the reverse affects on adults it is speed and it can be used for weight loss

12. suziON- you apparently don't have children. when you have kids you try to do everything possible to keep them safe. that would mean not driving like a complete idiot- among other things. oncoming traffic was able to stop on time to let this pathetic mess drive on but next time she might not be so lucky. after all, that traffic has the right of way. do people make mistakes? sure. but she shows a consistent lack of respect and responsibility with everything and everyone, that's why i don't give her any slack

13. The only ADD she has is from drugs, booze, and from her cell phone.

I hope she never get those babies back.

If she really cared she would be a responsibe mother to them

14. ADD, no way. She is just a lush.

ADD meds do not cause a false possitive but a LUSH does.

15. What drug is Brit Brit NOT taking? All we hear about is how many drugs she is taking? Uppers, downers, inhalers - if anything with all he chemicals in her system how does she know what time of day it is, where she is, and who is she with? She probably doesn't even know her children are in the car with her! She needs a detox! She probably goes online, looks for symptoms and then gets a doctor to write a subscription. Sounds EXACTLY like Anna Nicole - give it a year, the big story will be Brit Brits death because of prescription drugs
