Brit/K-Fed Lawyers Hash It Out in Court

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan and Brit's attorney, Tara Scott, have been meeting with the Commish in chambers about Britney's meltdown. We're now told they have left, but will be back in court at 1:30 PM PT today.
Tara Scott and Mark Kaplan
We're told they've just finished and Kaplan is on his way down to talk to reporters. We'll stream it live.

Sources say Kaplan planned to ask the judge to strip Brit of visitation while she's on a mental hold in the hospital after last night's craziness.

76. How can anyone be sympathetic to her?

She shunned everyone trying to help her.
She started this custody suit, remember - she's the PETITIONER
Which we know is all a scam!
She did the opposite of what everyone told her to do to get her kids back.
She violated numerous court orders, and driving rules with and without the kids
It's not the comments here that keeps TMZ boring us with her escapades, its her.
If she really wanted to be left alone, she wouldn't be gassing up her ego every day at gas stations or doing stupid things to draw attention to herself.
She has huge homes in LA, yet she finds the need to stay at hotels? And not even for a whole night but just a few hours?
She's a media whore who will do anything and everything to keep the attention on herself - at all costs.

Its her attitude & her thinking that she's still a celeb in this town who can do and get away with whatever she wants.

Maybe if she stops with the theatrics, and immaturity and GROWS UP for once, someone will take her dumb ass serious.

I have as much sympathy for her as I do for a drug addict or a child molester who grows up molesting other children. There are resources out there - most are even FREE.

But then all this BS is about her, not her kids. So I dont see that happening anytime soon.

For now, I'll pray for those who really need it thank you very much

77. Beatrice, I also agree with you 100%. Apparently she is in desperate need of serious medical attention regarding her mental well-being. I really think that she has had a serious case of Post Partum that has taken a turn for the worst. It just broke my heart to see all these jerks (I will not give them the honor of calling them photographers, because I am one and I sincerely doubt that these guys know what a darkroom looks from the inside let alone the real art of photography) showing such a disregard for her and her privacy by keeping on flashing their cameras while she was at her worst. Not only were they shameless and downright disgusting in their attempts but they also hampered the medics from doing their jobs properly.

78. I mean seriously, I have never posted anything in my life for any of this garbage but all the people are talking about at work in Philadelphia is Britney Spears...We're on a completely different coast and its still the talk of the day. Who cares about some washed-up, no-talent, egomaniacal, drug abusing, child neglecting, Beverly Hillbilly idiot?!?!? Shes smiling for the camera's as they wheel her away to the funnyfarm in restraints for godsakes! She LOVES it. She LOVES all these people that are stupid enough to keep following her and commenting on her....to her, its better to be crazy and in the papers than sane and unknown. She'll never change until one day a bigger story comes along and nobody cares about what shes up to...and that will be the day she offs herself. Why pray for her? God gave her everything she could have ever wanted and she abused it all and through it all away. Shes drunk with fame and power....Shes like a female Michael Jackson. Above the law and above the rules that govern our society. If she wasnt Britney Spears, She would have been beaten and tasered by the LAPD last night and stuffed in the back of a cop car hogtied. She'd be locked away and Social Services would have already have taken those kids. Just goes to show what a screwed up world we live in.

I think its time that we find some one else to focus our attention on leave this woman alone if something ends up happening to her were not going to suffer her children are and we are the only ones to blame for just not letting her live a normal life she obviously has some problems and need professional medical help just pray for her and leave her alone how would you like it if your kids were in the situation that the media is putting her children in ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and i think everyone should just leave her ALONE

81. This gal needs help. It's sad to watch the media that so built her up over the years enjoy tearing her down. She needs help and i hope she gets it.

82. It makes me laugh at all of the people who tell the media to leave
her ALONE...are you kidding me??? Here is a reality check for
you...BRITNEY GOES OUT LOOKING FOR MEDIA ATTENTION!! If you haven't
understood that by now, you don't live on the same planet as everyone
else. AND, IF SHE HAS BARRED THE DOOR WITH HER CHILD INSIDE AND REFUSES TO LET HIM OUT AND IN FACT IS ENDANGERING HER CHILD, then YES I want the media on her ass and reporting it...for you children's sake!!
And as far as blaming her mother...the trainwreck is 26 years
old, HER MOTHER IS NOT RESPONISIBLE FOR AN ADULTS ACTIONS!!! Britney
is now an adult and it is time she grew up and lived in the same world
as everyone else. She disgusts me because as as mother, I would do
anything to keep my children safe and in my custody, she doesn't care
about her family, friends, career, OR HER CHILDREN...and she obviously
does not care about herself, the next step is suicide in her case, so
hopefully now she his getting the medical attention she needs.
Britney is not allowing anyone into her life, not family, not
friends, or confidents, and only she can decide when to turn her life
around. Anyone who knows anything about addicts know this...NO ONE
BUT BRITNEY CAN MAKE HERSELF BETTER...not her managers, friends,
family, etc!

83. #58, you are a disgusting despicable person.

84. People need to stop already with the poor Britney routine. She's not a little girl. She's an adult. She brought a lot of this on herself by acting crazy, drinking, and doing God knows what else. Yes, she's clearly mentally unstable. But that's not a reason to use "kid gloves" with her. She needs to accept responsibility for what she's done. She needs to accept responsibility for the role she played in losing her children. That's her fault, and nobody else's!!

Do I feel sorry for her? No!! She's an adult. She's old enough, and has the financial resources to get help if she truly was interested in helping herself. The only two that I feel sorry for are her boys because they are innocent in all of this. It's bad enough that they will hear about this for the rest of their lives. They don't need to be put in a situation that is potentially dangerous (spending time with Britney) simply because some people think that it's wrong that custody and perhaps visitation has been taken away from their mother. Whether you like Kevin or hate him, being in his custody is really the best situation for them as far as their safety goes. Last night there was a 3-hour standoff simply over returning the boys to Kevin after her visitation. Do you really care to see it escalate the next time she has the boys? I don't!!

85. britany should read all of this! doubt shed learn anything though. she dosent know what "normal" is.

86. Right on #13. No child should be subject to such an unstable person, even if it's the childs mom! Many kids live without a mom, with a caring fathers and do just fine.

87. well lets face it in #58's defence- they are up her ass ;)

88. Why are family court proceedings involving minors sealed from the public...I'll tell you, "To protect the children now and in the future from having their business public knowledge". Whoever is overseeing these proceedings is doing a serious injustice to these children’s future by not applying for a publicity ban on anything related to this poor poor families situation.

I appreciate the parents are celebrities and depend on the press for publicity but these children, innocent and as of yet not public figures of their choosing, deserve to be protected. Of course no one involved in these proceedings can see beyond themselves and their spin which is obvious by the number of press conferences held by all parties. The day my lawyer sat in front of the press discussing my case would be the day my new lawyer filed a breach of confidentiality against he or her. Of course I totally expect that isn't the case here as these two celebs certainly authorized these press conferences as they themselves are discussing this family matter in public.

Keep it in the family folks, you will certainly regret not doing so in the future or at least your children will when they come of age.

89. and i might add she friggin loves it!!! TRASH TRASH TRASH!! SHE GIVES MOTHERS A BAD NAME AND I FOR ONE DONT APPRECIATE IT AT ALL! THERE ARE FAR MORE WOMEN AND MOTHERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE BEEN DELT A WORSE HAND THAN SHE HAS AND THEY DO BETTER THAN HER! NONE OF THIS WOULD MATTER IF SHE WASENT A POPSTAR. ITS ALL A FRIGGIN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE OUT THERE IN GOOD OL' CALI. I FEEL SOORY FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE TO ENDURE HER AT ALL. LETS JUST HOPE HER CHILDREN LEARN FROM ALL OF THIS. I CAN FORSEE THIS CRAP GOING ON FOR THE REST OF HER PITTIFUL LIFE. I HOPE SHE READS ALL OF THIS , NOT THAT SHE WILL TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM IT. 100 PEOPLE CAN TELL YOU NO BUT IT TAKES JUST 1 TO INFLUENCE THE WRONG CHOICE. DOSENT SEEM TO ME THAT SHE LEARNED FROM PEER PRESSURE. THAT BEING SAID IM SURE I CAN FIND SOMEONE TO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE WITH HER. I GUESS THOUGH IF PEER PRESURE WOULD CAUSE HER TO TAKE HER LIFE SHED BE DEAD ALREADY HU? WELL ANYHOOOO I DONT SEE ANYONE BOYCOTTING HER SO IM SURE SHE WILL CONTINUE TO EAT IT ALL UP.
