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.

31. Clearly she is bi-polar and it not taking her meds...that is the reason she is not sleeping. Being away from the public would do her some good and then the paps can focus on someone else for the time being and she can "re-group" I have a sneaky feeling someone out there knows more to this story than anyone else...but exposing the story would expose themselves and they would be in some trouble. Time and karma always uncover the real truth.

32. It's good she's getting help..... again. That dude Sam is probably a schizo himself and needs to stay away from Brit. BUT enough is ENOUGH.. everything is about Brit.. I'm tired of going on this site during work, only to find countless and countless of stories about her.. it aint all about Ms. Spears.. she probably reads this site too just like most stars. She likes the attention but its only making it worst for her and my eyes.

33. 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!

35. This has gone beyond pathetic. The cops were there so the media would stay away.....that is NOT needed for things like this. How does this girl have a chance when obviously people out there are willing to break confidentiality and leak info to the press?!! How would TMZ find out what she is at the hospital for?? Who went and told them because this stuff is NOT public information! Everyone right down to police officers who go and make these unofficial statements to the press use her for media spotlight and money. And her parents are among the worst!! I don't think anyone involved in her life prior to this point should be placed in charge.....the court needs to appoint her a neutral person to watch over her and her assets who is in it for Brit and not what can be made off of her. I have always applauded the court appointed monitor for the kids because he/she has stayed away from the press. That person did their job and did it with dignity! Give the girl someone who actually cares about her and not her money! She needs a nuetral person with no bias who is not caught up in this circus Spears life has become.

41. I feel horrible for this family and the fact that they can not be left alone long enough to get their daughter the help she so obviously needs. Shame on the paps!

42. Brit was seemingly fine when her career was skyrocketing and she was with Justin. This girl didn't have bipolar then. It all started when she started making a constant fool out of herself when she married Kevin Federline. After that it was all downhill for her career and herself. It took the parents way too long to act though.

43. Sam is acting like Howard Stern was to Anna Nicole, like he ownes her and they aren't even married. Leave her parents to do what they think is best for her, she needs serious help, i think if it were up to Sam he would get her out right now, hes probably afraid if she gets better she will kick his ass to the curb.

44. I don't like Momma Lynne at all!!!! She has pimped her daughters out in order to have a luxurious life. There is NO WAY it would have taken me this long to get my child help. Even if my child was trying to keep me out of her life I would have found a way. I would have even played her game if that is what it took to get her help. Lynne wants the control so that she can SELL the story later. You watch Lynne will be on every talk show or will have articles in every magazine within a month.

45. 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!!!
