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.

91. It would be abnormal for her NOT to be falling apart through all the betrayals and liars that surround her! Why can't the public realize that she just wants to feel safe and loved and be a young woman in her 20s doing things many of us have done...good, bad and ugly? She's being crucified and is fully aware of that! Kevin fooling her into thinking she found true love was the beginning of this emotional spiral! You've got to be able to put 2 and 2 together and see that ha was probably the one who introduced her to drugs in the first place. He gets caught up in the BRITNEY SPEARS the star then realizes she's just a regular girl with quirks and bad days and bails on her long before she filed for divorce! Now he's using every opportunity to knock her farther down! Then she finds out that the one person she thought she was closest to in the world ,her own mother, was badmouthing her behind her back! Then , knowing how badly Kevin did her wrong, that woman teamed up with him instead of standing by her own flesh and blood! And Britney's suppose to stay emotionally even through all that?! What would you do if everyone you thought loved you was conniving behind your back then when you react hurt (and rightfully so!!!) those same people try and convince you that it's all in your head and you need to do whatever they tell you . Then even though your gut tells you you're feelings should be acknowledged and cared for everyone gangs up on you and if you don't relent to their every whim the courts take your kids and the police come to get you! Of course she gets so lonely that even the paparazzi start to seem like friends. The poor thing can't catch her breath to save her life! It's one thing after another with seemingly no trustworthy faces to cling to! It's all a bunch of witch hunting and it's got to stop! I wish I could be alone in a room with her to tell her that someone out here totally understands and cares! And then...here's the kicker!!! I wouldn't go sell the story like she's nothing but a cash cow! I would be the friend she needs....the friend someone, anyone, in her life should've been!

92. Seriously, does Britney know that this is getting real old and no one really cares about her multiple personatlities and her trips to the ward. she belongs there indefinetly! she is a nut job! she has been doing so many messed up things that it has gotten to the point where it is not even interesting anymore! she is pheenin the spotlight, why else would she be dating a pap!? When they break up because he looses interest in her and sees her more as a burden god knows what other juicy yet boring gossip will surface about her.... the psych ward is where she needs to be placed.... she has gone beyond needing the help and support of family and friends... she needs doctors and institutions.....

93. Thank goodness her children are away from all of this! Seeing the new car she bought last week only saddened me...all that money and look at her life. Fame and fortune 'seem' worth it at the moment, but if you don't have yourself grounded with people around you who care about you as an individual and not your money or what you can do for them, then it is worth nothing. She should go back to Louisiana and begin to live a quiet life on her terms. I think she would garner more respect doing that than trying to hold on to whatever image people have of her.

94. she calls the "stalkarazzi" as you say 15 min. before she leaves she makes the circus herself there's obviously something mentally wrong with her which probably isn't the fault of her parents either she's messed up and hasn't gotten help she's not a child she's 26 years old and has 2 kids time to step up and realize she's messed up get the help and maybe get to see her kids again she's trying to live out her teen years she didn't get b/c she wanted to be famous the ONLY reason i feel sorry for her is b/c she has something screwy in her head... a mood disorder a personality disorder frick it could be postpartum psycosis i mean look she had 2 kids 12 mo. apart! someone needs to diagnose this chick fast

95. Get Sam OUT OF THE PICTURE!!! I don't care WHAT Britney says!!! Look what Howard K. Stern did to Anna Nicole. Sam Lutfi is another HKS all over again!!!

I hope to GOD the judge orders her parents in control. Britney is OBVIOUSLY under some kind of mind control with this guy!!! Maybe he's blackmailing her that he'll speak about what goes on behind the scenes and "she'll NEVER get her kids back!!"

96. I DONT KNOW WHO CAN HELP BRITNEY BUT ITS DEFINITELY NO HER PARENTS OR SAM. MOMMA LYNNE PIMPED HER. SAM SPONGES FROM HER. ALL THIS BS IS JUST AN ACT ANYWAY. THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH BRITNEY IS THAT SHE IS A SPOILED BRAT LOOKING FOR ATTENTION BECAUSE SHE IS A WASHED UP LOSER WHO LOST HER TALENT THAT WAS QUESTIONABLE TO BEGIN WITH. I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MANY DOCTORS AND PSYCHIATRISTS ARE FROTHING AT THE MOUTH TO GET IN ON HER TREATMENT SO THEY CAN BUILD THAT SUMMER HOME THEY'VE BEEN DREAMING OF.

97. If you want to have more insight on her disorder read the book "An Innocent Man" by John Grisham, its a true story about a guy that started out normal but ended up having a mental disorder similar to Brittanys, couldn't sleep, wouldn't follow treatment, his parents and family tried for years to help him. The thing is mentally ill people don't think their ill, they take the meds and feel better then stop taking them, just because she is famous you assume she is not ill. Did anyone see the Aviator, look at Howard Hughes. He was a brilliant mentally ill person.

98. Now that we have taken care of Britney, let's go get Zsa Zsa Gabor away from Prince Ahole. He is another Sam Lufti.

99. Sam is the problem. He benefits from keeping Brit nuts. He has no job or value other that piggy backing on Brit and spendingher money and being in her fame. What a loser......do everything you can to get Sam away from this girl.....This whole story was actually a releif to read. I am so HAPPY someone is helping this poor girl. Best wishes Brit. You have a long road ahead.....but hey I just downloaded 'Piece of me'...talk about IRONIC to the millionth degree!!!!!

101. Even if you never pray, Pray for Britney. Have a heart. Aren't most of you really good at heart?? I can't believe you're not. Your parents love you. Let her parents love her. Nobody's perfect.

102. Why do people act like this is all surprising? This girl is from some little town in Louisiana. Money doesn't make you smarter, it just makes you rich. People need to let it go and focus on what's going on with our country. Britney Spear had no talent, has no talent and will never have talent. Give it up people she's just looking for attention. Throw Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Spears in the same cage and let them kill each other.

103. It's Britney's Parents, Bitch!
