Parents to Sam: She's Ours Now

TMZ has learned Britney's parents have won round one in the tug of war with Sam Lutfi. We're told the doctors at UCLA are now "fully cooperating" with the parents in the treatment of Britney Spears, however, the war probably is not over until a judge signs an order as to who has control.

By the way, the men in white coats are giving props to LAPD's "SMART Unit" which specializes in mental health cases for coordinating the events that went down last night and early this morning.

UPDATE: Sam Lutfi left the hospital before 4:00 AM. Papa Jamie just left.

18. Thank goodness, maybe she will finally get the help she needs and can have access to her boys when things are straightened out. She was a danger to everyone driving lately. The hangers-on, Adnan, Sam and the likes need to be kept as far away from her as possible! Maybe she needs to be taken back to the other LA, Louisana to recooperate.

19. She needs to be in a psych ward for some peace and quiet. She's all over the place and her breakdown has gone on too long and has been too public...(maybe because she can't sleep or stay home for more than 3 minutes).

20. Maybe the hospital is the only place Britney can get some peace and quiet. Stay the extra 14 days. Will somebody do something about those PAPS? I wonder how much money they bring in annually?

21. Lynne and Sam are both just trying to protect their meal tickets. Of the two of them, I prefer Sam. At least he's not pimping out his own daughter.

23. I think TMZ should be ashamed of themselves for making fun of Brittany over these past weeks. You want to be credible and have reporters refer to your findings, making tasteless comments over someone who is sick and in the need of medical attention is deplorable!

24. Sam needs to go back to Mexico.

26. And, who the heck do you think you're folling with the police presence manipulation in your stories TMZ??? The police escort was there to stop the stalkarazzi and prevent a media frenzy; the paps creating a huge public safety problem.

The police presence wasn't there to protect the public from Brit. Contrary, they were called in to protect the public at large from the sleezy stalkarazzi!

27. I'm so happy to hear this news that Britney has finally gotten some help and her parents got to her before it was too late. Now, if only the paps would let her be, she will be fine.

28. Sam should not have any say on what type of mental help britney goes through.. Good for her mom and family to finally be taking control before she really hurts herself.. Oh, and even mentally unstable, gotta admit, this girl is hot!

29. Both Sam AND Adnan need to get the hell out of her life. I don't understand how Lynn could buddy up with that greasy Adnan after the way he tries to cash in on her own daughter!!!

30. SOUNDS LIKE BRITTNEY HAS A MANAGER/FRIENDS LIKE BRIAN WILSON OF THE BEACH BOYS AND ANNA NICOLE SMITH........SAD THAT NO ONE CAN HELP THIS SITUATION....POSSIBLY THE FATHER IS THE ONLY SANE ONE IN THE BUNCH...HER MOTHER OBVIOUSLY HAS SHOWN NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LOVE.
