K-Fed's Lawyer Headed to Court

Posted Jan 4th 2008 10:31AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will scurry to court this morning at 8:30 AM and ask the Commissioner to strip Brit of her visitation rights -- at least for now. We're told there may not be much of an argument and it's almost certain the Commish will see Kaplan's point. Attorney Tara Scott from the law firm of Trope and Trope will represent Brit -- awkward, since the firm has asked to withdraw as counsel.

As we reported, Britney is at Cedars-Sinai on a "5150 hold," meaning there's evidence she's a danger to herself or others -- others as in her kids.

Here's what's interesting. We've been reporting for several months now that Britney doesn't have a drug or alcohol problem -- that her instability is mental, not chemical. Well placed sources tell us what happened last night is not rooted in drugs, and that of late, her mental state has deteriorated to the point that what happened at her home was not unexpected.

Stay tuned ...

2. Thats even scarier. You can detox from drugs but to get her mind straight might be more of a challenge. God help her.

3. Not surprising. She exhibits all the classic signs of bipolar & postpartum depression. Ease up guys. Just cuz you haven't been there, doesn't mean you can't at least try and understand.

4. WHO CARES WHY SHE'S SO LOOPY!!! She's nuts and needs the kids taken away from her before she harms them!!! She's incapable of being a proper parent. K-Fed, regardless of what we think of him, has proven to be the better parent here. Give him those kids and whisk Brit away to some remote town where she can get back to reality.

5. What a friggin train wreck.
Any judge that lets her continue to have those babies has rocks in their heads. That judge had better protect those little ones.

6. Well this should seal the deal. K-Fed can now count on getting payed until the kids are 18 years old. Britney didn't want them anyway so I guess everyone wins!!

7. I'm so disgusted that she would do this in front of her kids. She pretty much used them as props.

10. Thank God! Having a mental hold placed on a person is not a light thing! She is in with the real loons now! She will have to to to rehab, forcibly.

11. She needs to be given a shot to go to sleep for a very long time.....I mean.....KILL THE BITCH. PUT US OUT OF OUR MISERY.

12. This whole thing is just...sad. All of us have stood by and watched as she's come crashing down, and not that it's not entertaining, but where the hell is her family in all of this? Yea, Dad showed up tonight, but what about her mom? Nobody figured on getting her help prior to this? Whether it's chemical or emotional or mental, she's exhibited some pretty classic signs that she needs it desperately...It's beyond gossip, beyond drama, beyond entertaining....it's officially reached the level of sad.

13. Post partum depression my ass. She is too far out to be suffering from that. Bipolar on the other hand, she prolly does have that! And when they test her urine and her blood, they will see what kinds of illicit drugs are swimming around in her system. She is such a loser.

14. TMZ has been "reporting"!!! OMG is that a joke?!?!?!
"Reporters" do not follow a person every minute of everyday just to get the money shot for their website. I imagine TMZ staff were salivating yesterday with happiness that they finally got the money shot of Brit being taken away.
The girl needs medical help not help from TMZ "reporting" on her every move.
