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.

16. 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

17. 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

20. Why didn't the Adderol show up on any of the previous drug tests?

\All you Britney fans know that Blackout was not created by Britney. She simply moaned and groaned on it and make noise that the producers then synthesized the hell out of to make it sound like singing. Anyone could have done what she did. She did not write any of the songs either. So, stop saying she is so insightful. Those are not her words. Someone else wrote them and she was merely the puppet that they used to put the record out based on her previous success.

Sorry, Britney, you need your parents. Stop trying to be Miss Know-It-All and stop pushing your parents away. Obviously, you don't know what you're doing and need serious help.

Get well.

21. Disclose all of the scripts? Perhaps. Then we’ll find out all her phantom pseudo-names for a variety of scripts. And my hunch tells me methadone looks to be one of them. Yes, methadone a la Anna Nicole Smith. The swelling in her face and the eyes say it all. Seems to me she’d be a lot worse off if it were the body rot methamphetamine or heroin. Granted, the photo was taken after she ran over another photogs foot, not her fault IMO. The paps ask for it. Seriously guyz, if you have any heart whatsoever, say a prayer for the girl. If not for her sake, for your own. Yes, she messed up and parties too much, needs to wear her underwear. But it seems to me she’s punishing herself far more than what she deserves. And so are we. ~Been there.

25. Cripes, is there a single celebrity out there without a foot-long list of prescription drugs? I suppose to be a doctor in Hollywood you just have to ignore your oath and give out meds like candy. It's ridiculous.

26. Wouldn't amphetamines be the last thing someone with ADD needs??

28. i just wish that the media coverage on britney wasnt so much!!!! everyone should try something...have someone photograph and video tape every moment of your life and see what effect it has on you. im not saying that britney is ok, im saying that she is probably making some very upseting mistakes but how was she to know that this is the price for fame. i hope she makes a big come around so that everyone will shut the f up!! two hard breakups and two kids back to back.... come on people!! think about it. does the word duh mean anything to you!

save britney:)

29. Fist of all if it was Adderall it would have shown up in the past test!! Second, it does happen sometimes on the redlight deal but this girl made a complete stop and then she ran it. It wasnt like it was yellow and turned red as she went under it!! No she stopped then went. That was no damn accident. She shouldnt be able to drive with the kids until she takes some driving classes or something. Nobodys perfect but the excusess for the drug test are going to run out soon. She f***** up on the red light herself. She could have hit someone and killed them along with her own kids then how sorry would you feel for her.

30. Geez, how many drugs is this girl on? That's freakin' ridiculous. I guess if you can't do illegal drugs anymore, we'll take the legal ones? She's a LOSER and needs to just go away, period.
