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.

46. 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.

47. 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.

48. 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.

49. have any of you been involentary commited to a mental hospital? I was as a teen because my parents have more $$ than brains. They didn't know how to deal with the everyday problems. Joke she will refuse as long as it takes be placed in a I.D.P (individual dayroom program) and be released after time expires. if ur smart?

50. They say trauma/mind control subjects alot of times become split personalities, or multiples... also those that are mind controlled from an early age will sometimes begin to come unraveled, around the age of 30... she DEFINATELY fits the profile to a T, if you've ever studied mind controlled and programmed people... she needs Cathy OBrien... and you people need to wake up and understand what's going on right in front of your faces! "Sam" Lufti is nothing but her programmer/handler, as well as her parents... we all need to pray for Britney, and her sister, too! Nobody surrounding that girl has her best interests at heart... GOOGLE CATHY O'BRIEN!!!

52. Psych wards aren't meant for long-term stays. A couple of weeks there...out on the streets again. It's usually a constant cycle of in and out.

53. Turn her over to the psychiatrist. He's the only one in the picture with clean motives. Everybody else has an agenda that can influence their decisions and not in her best interests. Hurrah for the psychiatrist. It's about time that someone recognized that Britney driving around at 100 miles an hour and running off the road constitute a danger to the people around her. I'm surprised she hasn't killed somebody already. So why can't the LAPD figure this out, and why does it take a psychiatrist to explain to them that this behavior is dangerous to other people? I thought they were the public safety experts?

55. had to comment again... I agree with another comment that she was doing just fine wayyy back then until KdoodleFed came into her life.. a wannabe player, rapper PUAHAH, money hungry.. idiot who probably drugged her up and used it to his advantage, hence that video that was on youtube a few months back of her stoned.. pumped babies out of her so he can have a piece of her money empire. I think he was the root of her issues PLUS her parents not giving a damn until.. hmm NOW? only to use her money to buy a nice big mansion in Louisana and puppies. I think no one cares about Brit and its a shame.. I don't really like her as a artist but as a human being, I feel sorry for her. She's acting up because she needs attention and love. Maybe some TLC from the right people can help her in the right path.

57. why in the world would sam have control instead of her parents anyway?!?!?!?!?!? i hate the "legal" side of the medical field....obviously her parents SHOULD have the upper hand in this, i mean, for god's sake, THEY made HER!!! this kind of stuff reminds me of that teri woman thats X husband pulled the plug when her parents didnt want to....not that her condition has anything to do with britney, just that the parents should be able to always step in......more than likely they would have the best intrest for their child....not her "manager"....this is all just so sad.

brit...we are all so happy you are getting help! your fans love you and want to see you make a full recovery!!! we are behind you all the way!!

58. I wish Britney the best of luck!

59. Here's wishing all concerned a flash of intelligence. I wondered where Brit got this idea that she couldn't stay home. Now I know. Everybody needs to go home and let the doctors do their work. GO HOME PEOPLE!!! This is on another topic--Bill Mahar is a complete and total ass.
