Commish Thinks Brit's a Little Meshuggah

britney spearsSources tell TMZ the Commissioner in the Britney case now views mental health -- not substance abuse -- as the root of Britney's problems.

We're told today's witnesses presented a deeply disturbed picture of Spears. The witnesses told the story first reported on TMZ this weekend of a woman out of control. We're also told her the judge was deeply concerned that her instability posed a danger to her children.

Commissioner Scott Gordon was definitely influenced by the fact that Spears chose not to show up in court.

421. From what I've read, she has been taking all kinds of prescribed drugs, things us plain unrich people couldn't get from our doctors even if we needed them. She was taking, for example, ativan, which is for anxiety and is very very addictive, she was taking something for attention deficit disorder (why on earth does she need that?) as well as several other things I can't remember the name of. So, I don't think the body guard lied. But I am a very cynical person and I can't help wondering if he got money for telling that story? And unfortunately, a mentally ill persondoesn't realize they have a problem. If they get help and get well, they look back and are astounded at the things they said and did and can hardly believe they acted that way. Intervention is the answer but not Dr. Phil and her stupid parent's' trying to cover the dung pile.

422. What's so sad is that she could get well and have a great life again if somebody with authority, her parents, a judge, whoever has the power, would get her into a good hospital, yes, against her will, and keep her there for as long as it takes. I mean a good hospital, of course, not some state asylum with substandard care. That's why it's so sad -- none of this has to be.

423. 417. Her mom is a bigger parasite than K-Fed. Her mom is the biggest parasite in Britney's life. But she's too busy babysitting her future goldmine Jamie Lynn's little fetus, to try again to help Britney. If she just pulled Britney into her arms and hugged her and said I love you, no matter what, I love you, it might do wonders for Brit. But if it did not help, at least Lynne could know in her heart she tried. She has not really tried. She wants money and positive attention for herself and to hell with her sick daughter. Notice how Lynne wears that humongus cross up high around her neck so nothing hides it? She only started doing that when Brit started falling apart and people began to look more closely at Lynne's failures and criticize her for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
heebie jeebies -How do we not know if Lynne Spears has not already done this ?If she has and Britney did not respond to it do you really think that her Mom would blast it to anyone who'd listen ?I seriously doubt she would ,one of the biggest failures in life are the failures you feel you've made in your parenting skills ...I doubt most people would find any comfort in admitting publically that they could have been a better parent ,but were'nt .

424. I HAVE A QUESTION, HOW DOES K-FED SUPPORT HIS OTHER 2 CHILDREN? DOES HE HAVE A JOB THAT SUPPORTS THEM? OR IS IT BRITS SUPPORT PAYMENTS THAT SUPPORT THE OTHER 2 KIDS. I AM NOT REAL CLEAR ON THIS. IF HE HAS A JOB THEN GOOD ON K-FED, BUT IF HE DOES NOT THEN IN MY MIND IT SHOWS MOTIVE TO HAVE FULL CUSTODY OF BRITNEYS 2 AS THE SUPPORT PAYMENTS WOULD BE HUGE IF HE HAD SOLE CUSTODY.DOES HE BUY THE OTHER 2 KIDS FOOD WITH HIS EARNED MONEY? THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

425. Well Brit Hun no one knows what is on your mind but you, no one knows your intentions but you, I think I would have been over whelemed as well and to the bloggers, k-feds lawyer stated earier that neither Brit or K-Fed were required to be there to yesterdays hearing, they both came by choice, K-feds lawyer actually said it 2 different times, because the media asked him to repeat himself.Neither party was REQUIRED to be there at the courthouse yesterday.I am sure Brit tried to go only to shut the media up, becuase I am sure she figures her law team were qualified to handle it for her. Now that is just me guessing I do not know this to be facts. Would all of you like to walk into a wall of humans and cameras trying to do anything in your life? No wonder she left, what an overwhelming feeling for anyone to be body bumped when trying to walk.I get frustrated at people who do that when I am standing in line to get on a ride at an amusement park let alone a nervous court hearing. As far as going to the church... it is not fair to judge that.... if it would have been you or I people would have viewed that as a last prayer for strength before a big event or some significant happening in our life. I mean let us be real here, how many times do people go to the rectory at a hospital to pray or to a graveside, I could go on but you get the point. She hired a legal team team to fight for her, K-fed shows up not only to show he is a good parent, but also to make Brit look bad... he did not have half the media people around him when he arrived, these case lawyers have a stratagy they are playing, anyone can see this, K-feds law team are playing the media like a hillbilly playing a fiddle at a hoedown,(and hillbilly said with the greatest of respect) you youngsters who are so quick to judge really need to think things through before you go putting something in writing, it shows the bloggers mental abilities in their blogging views and shows that the bloggers do not have much life expierence to see the whole picture... one might say maybe these negetive bloggers are in a certain age group, maybe frustrated in their own lives and this is a way to lash out, would they honestly say any of this to a persons face if stood in front of them?, Likely not... writing on a blog is too easy for people to spew at the mouth something they would not have the ummmmm balls to say to someones face.It is a hard situation for anyone to be in.... How about we let Brits law team do their thing and let Brit figure out what is best for her... only she knows that. None of us walk in her shoes to be qualified to judge anything about the situation. Brit do your thing....I had a child at 16 my mom and dad said to me: be a child but be a good mom too.. they let me have time to grow while teaching me how to be a good mom, I went to under 18 clubs at the time to get in my childhood ,went to parties, but not until after my daughter was tucked into bed by me, my point here I guess is a lot of us understand... not a child not yet a woman.... it is a thing that happens to a lot of child stars, do some fun things and live a little, but at the same time remember you are a mom too, you need to balance the two, it can be balanced as I did it myself, I was able to have my daughter and be some what of a kid too, you have a support system there use it hun,and you will have both your fun and your motherhood too. Good luck to you Brit.

426. If Lynne had already done this, she would definitely have blasted it out for the whole world to know. the problem with Lynne is she thinks she has been a great parent. And sadly, she has not.

Posted at 4:06PM on Jan 15th 2008 by leftright

427. Annalee, Britney is not 16, she is 26. And you took good care of your child, but you also said your parents helped you. Brit's parents did not help her, they embezzled as much of her fortune as they could get their hands on.

428. Open letter to the paparazzi,

Britney has made you guys money for a long time now. You have to know she is very sick and needs help yet you stalk and chase her. She is dying inside and for some reason you guys are heartless. It's all about money even if it costs her life. We can all see that her days are numbered if she doesn't get help really soon. She isn't herself. She is out of control. Please I am begging all of you to give her space. Find other stories and let her get help. You see how heartless some are here that bash and slam her. It has to hurt her inside. She has given and given all her life. Now she needs you guys to help her get well. Stop treating her like a product please and relize this could have been your sister or own girlfriend who got very ill and needed help.

429. Annalee, why is Kevin trying to make her look bad because he's trying to do the right thing?

Posted at 4:17PM on Jan 15th 2008 by cameron

430. At least K-Fed is trying to do the right thing. Britney has not even tried. I feel sorry for her and hope she can get the help she needs, but he is trying to do the right thing, and let's face it, people can change, they don't all do it, but as long as a person lives they can change. Since he is cleaned up and appearing in court on time and taking good care of the babies, why can't we give him at least as much benefit of thedoubt as Britney gets, and geez, she is what they call her - a total wreck. Everybody wants to put him down because of the child support money but nobody wants to put Brit's mother down for pimping her daughters and getting rich off them.

431. Me being 16 really had nothing to do with it... my daughter is now 24 and just had baby of her own..... my point was I suppose she has not had a lot of room to grow emotionally she has said it heself she has missed out on so much, so I was thinking that maybe her mind may be younger than her chronical age is , I mean with out sounding like I am insulting her which I am not trying to do, she may be 26 but is she at that age in her mind? I read an article by a doctor whom suggested that she may be suffering like M.J. and she has not yet fully matured... now that is not me saying that at all, just repeating something that I read.
Brit has so many people telling her what to do and where to go most of the time the rebelling that is going on is almost like that of a child going through growing pains and rebelling at 16 , again I am not trying to be insulting just a direction of thought is all. And all these rumors about mental illness and bipolar if this is true then she is not a bad person she just needs to get some meds or somehing to assist her in the healing process.

432. Right on, JD, and we have not seen Lynne attempt to go anywhere close to her daughter. Believe me, if she had tried, TMZ would have been on top of it. She's sitting on her other golden egg right now. Kevin is trying to do the right thing. If Britney starts trying to do the right things and present a better image of herself, are we going to keep trashing her and ignore her efforts? Well, yeah, some of you will. But I say Kevin deserves a break. At least he is trying.

433. why is everyone writing freakin novels about this

Posted at 4:36PM on Jan 15th 2008 by like britney is gonna listen

434. To all of you who seem to want to blame the Paparazzi for everything that happens in this world, you need to ponder the following.
Why is it it that many many other Hollywood Types (whether acting, singing etc), can keep the Paparazzi away from their children and themselves? Sure there have been incidents where some of them are relentless and the people affected made Police Complaints and or sued to have them stay away via restraining orders etc. Why is it that you don't see the Paparazzi running all over after them and hounding them like a horde of hungry ants in a bag of sugar? Why is it it that many Stars children go to school and activities and do not have the media following them all over?
The reason is because those Stars and their children do NOT put on a "show" for the Paparazzi. Paparazzi are a whole different species than "Celebrity Photographers". Photographers are those who will ask if they can take a picture and once they have their photo, they move on to someone else. Paparazzi are the "wannabes". The ONLY way they can make a lviing is if they get that one shot that will make national and worldwide headlines such as the shot with Britney wearing a dress and no underpants.
But a HUGE difference is the Paparazzi would leave Britney alone if she led a "boring" life. If she behaved and did not do outrageous things that could be caught on camera, they would all pack up their gear and leave her alone. So yes, although the Paparazzi are wrong, whoever "feeds" into their delight has only his/her self to blame. I would bet you that if Britney behaved, dressed like a lady and not a slut, drove within the laws and did ordinary things with her children like going to the park or shopping.....the Paprazzi would leave her alone because what is the news in that?
So instead of saying if the Paprazzi would leave her alone all would be fine, is about as dumb as saying you would let your child play on the Freeway. Why is it that Britneys Mom never came to her childs rescue when she started spiraling out of control? Probably because she was never a Mother figure to begin with, so how can she be one now and be a Grandmother too? I know if I ever acted one fourth of how Britney is......not only my Mom, but everyone of my family and friends would be right here trying to find out what is wrong and how they can help. As a former Psych Nurse, all I can say is that the whole family has very deep rooted mental health issues and the Judge in this case would be a wise man if the Court Mandated that Britney be placed as an "in patient" in a good facility and not some country club like setting where they can come and go as they please. I would almost bet that if Britney were ordered into some sort of rehab for 6-12 mos. that by the time she emerged she would be a more responsible and sensible individual. I can only hope and pray that the powers that be make the right decisions and allow her to get the help she needs NOW before she harms herself, others or those children.

435. "At least K-Fed is trying to do the right thing". No he isn't - he is just putting on a "show" himself. He doesn't take care of his children - the "Nanny" does. They are probably lucky if he comes and says goodnight. He is only in it for the money. How much of a father was he when him and Britney were together? Did you see alot of pictures of them together as a family? No. It was mostly of Britney with the children. He is only looking out for himself and the kids just happen to be part of the package - but thats ok with him because he has hired help to take care of them so he can continue to do what he wants to do and have the money to do it with.
