Celebrity Justice
Britney's Last Chance

TMZ has learned that Monday's custody hearing could be one of the most important days in Britney Spears' life. We're told that although she is not legally required to make an appearance in court, Brit needs to face the judge to explain herself if she's got any hope of getting her kids back. Our sources tell us if she doesn't show, or is uncooperative, it could be curtains for her custody case. TMZ is at the courthouse this morning as metal detectors were put in place ... just in case.

What's more, police sources tell TMZ that Commissioner Scott Gordon will hear firsthand eyewitness accounts of last Thursday's breakdown from LAPD, firefighters and paramedics who were on scene. We're told they're not going to paint a pretty picture.

Also, we've learned the L.A County Sheriff's Department isn't taking any chances -- they're ready for anything. If Brit Brit loses it in court, they'll be there to "handle" the situation. Wear your heavy boots!

Stay tuned ...

76. And say what you will, but even Shar has been somewhat kind to her- and if anyone didn't need to be, it would be her!

77. I think that her losing her custody might be the best thing for her. Britney needs some psychological help. She needs to get herself and get her priorities straight before she can be a good mom to those boys.

78. Monday will be an good chance for her to lose it! If she's bipolar, and it looks like she is, she has been really manic for a while now and this will provide all that she needs to go the other direction and then some! If Adnan's smart, he'll keep his hole shut until she's away for a while before he can sell his stuff and go for some nice trashy bling!

80. Serious question here - is it within the court's right to instirutionalize her when she comes for the hearing (especially if it means getting well means getting back some of her rights)? They're going to hear about the events of last week, and it's been reported that the family has been trying to get Unfitney in for help. Could the court be persuaded to lock her up against her will, or is that another fight altogether?

82. I have said this before but brit is another "anna nicole". If someone dont step up and do something for this girl...we all know how this will end. I feel for these boys that have to see this meltdown happen. I am in shock it has been able to go this far. I really thought the courts would not put up with her spoiled celebrity tactics. Truth is I dont think she really wants the boys but her focus is mainly on K-fed. The boys should be with Kevin and she needs hospitalizied. Anything else is just a waste of time. When you see a trainwreak about to happen do you pull the person of the track or stand by and watch them get hit? Everyone is standing by and watching so far........monday we will see if that changes.

85. The judge cannot force her into mental treatment, but he can say until she gets mental treatment K-Fed keeps the boys and she doesn't get to see them. Then when she has a moment of clarity she might actually realize she loves the boys and will do what she has to do to see them, even if it means getting well. If she doesn't she will likely die... so this judge is the key to saving Brit's life IMO.

Why would anyone blame K-Fed for Sean Preston biting Jayden James.. Everything I've read lately Sean Preston seems to be feeling the stress his mother has subjected him to since he was born.

Briteny didn't have any babies when she suddenly married Jason Alexander (who has suddenly reappeared in California) so I really do not believe it is post partum depression, it "may" have excalated the situation, but she has been going downhill mentally for a long time -- before K-Fed and even before Jason A.....

88. She won't show, her family needs to get her commited before the hearing to save her ass. but i think they are in ked's corner..

89. This is for #44...so Britney doesn't understand the legal system? I'll give you that...but the girl wastes $160,000 a month on clothes and entertainment. She can hire the best frigging lawyer in the world and have him explain it to her. Of course, that would entail Britney actually LISTENING to someone and acting like an adult. A stupid person with money is still STUPID! OJ is an idiot..but at least he has enough sense to LISTEN to his lawyers back then. Britney is a stupid, spoiled, self centered little brat. She needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The world does not revolve around her.
$160,000 a month on clothes and enertainment? Damn..sure wish I owned the local Salvation Army where she purchases
all her latest ensembles!

90. Nic 1:04 all god points, very good in fact, but I would bet that a few people have said straighten up or you're screwed to her- why do you think her lawyers tried to quit? She's been told and I bet it's more than just her mental illness, it's her narcissism that blocks this out. Once her narcissism gets blown out of the water, that's when she'll have little to cling to and will implode! I believe THAT NARCISSISM IS HER MAIN DEFENSE MODE NOW! Humility will crush her!
