Celebrity Justice
Britney Comes to Attention -- Deficit Disorder

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.

211. I am so tired of dog and pony show justice.
Everyone makes money, the perp walks and we get to pay the bill.

she will get away with this crap, she will do it again, and continue to
do it until she kills someone.

Of course it won't be one of the lawyers or the judge or one of their kids that she kills.

212. Adderol and Concerta are both used to treat ADD, and they sometimes combine that with Provigil because the AMPHETAMINES in Adderol and Concerta cause people who REALLY have ADD to become sleepy instead of jacked up. I know this because that is how my son's FANTASTIC doctor treated him so that he would't pass out in class from taking the ADD drugs which DO contain amphetamines. GIVE IT A REST TMZ! Face it, Brit is only HUMAN!

215. It gets me mad when people use ADD as an excuse. As a person who as ADD it gets me mad when people would possibly so not have this disorder blame things on it. Britney get another excuse.

216. You know, people are pathetic. Britney obviously needs help and I pray for her every day. She has a lot of problems, she makes a lot of mistakes, and she has a tall mountain to climb before she finds happiness again. Yes this is the same story with a lot of celebrities today. But who are all of you to judge. First of all, you believe every single thing that you read, because God knows, the tabloids couldn't be lying, and then you become judgmental hypocrites. Why is it that we think that just because they make a lot of money that celebrities shouldn't be human or allowed to make mistakes. I am not in any way justifying Britney's behavior, as I said before she is making a lot of mistakes and she needs help, but all ya'll need to pull the plank out of your own eye before you start judging the sliver in her's or any other celebrities for that matter. Maybe tonight you should thank God or your lucky stars or who ever it is that you thank, that there have not been camera's and reporters and insane poperotsy fallowing you around when you have done horrible and or stupid stuff. I know that I am grateful! But then, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe your the ONE perfect person that has ever walked on this earth and you don't have anything to hide. In which case my apologies, keep on being better then the rest of us human folk.

220. With kids in the back - an papparazi harrassing her and blocking her way.

221. Can you imagine how hard it would be to drive when not only do you have to look for pedestrians, make sure the light is green and make sure there is no oncoming traffic,
but you also have to ensure that you can get by 20 people intentionally blocking your way.
I think that should be Britney's excuse. And she should go for a restraining order.

222. This is not about self centered Britney--folks. This is about the safety of her two toddler boys. I can't believe the comments of people constantly making excuses for her driving and sympathizing with her erratic and irresponsible behavior. She enjoys the limelight and the frenzy or she would HIRE A DRIVER.

223. Is TMZ so conceded that they really think Brit Brit peeps are using them for medical facts? What a joke

224. It really seems like she is on the WRONG medication, if indeed she is.....that could explain a lot of the problems she is having.... She needs to get herself a good doctor who will take the time and effort and treat whatever problems she may be having CORRECTLY.... Too often doctors hand out pills and thinks that absolves them of responsibility, when the drug can in fact have disasterous results to the patient.

225. What next? This young woman is worse than a train wreck and has an attitude problem that has gone way back. I am sick to death of hearing ADD blamed for just about everything. I heard it from one of my step-daughters one time and I said "No your problem is maybe you need your butt kicked". Before anyone says abuse isn't the answer, you are right. I don't mean to beat your kid or abuse them but god, because you have trouble in your life doesn't mean you have ADD. It is so over diagnosed to begin with...and it is used more than the race card! Britney Spears is a drug addict, alcoholic, over indulged over rated celebrity, who has had too many yes people in her self destructive world. I see her joining Anna Nicole in time....another train wreck that had too many yes people in her life.
