Celebrity Justice
No Changes So Far in Brit Case

Britney SpearsThe custody hearing is over, and the status quo prevails.

There was supposed to be a hearing today on the motion by Brit to get "visitation in a therapeutic setting." That motion was put off, because the therapeutic setting Britney's in right now is a psych ward.

There also has been no change in Britney's legal representation. As we first reported, the conservators are at war with Brit's divorce lawyers. We don't know what they argued in court this morning, but Trope and Trope is still repping Brit in the custody war.

This afternoon, it's Brit's divorce lawyers who are on the attack. They'll ask that the conservators -- notably Jamie Spears -- be 86'd.

46. Wow, these people have to shame in their game. They publicly humiliated her a few weeks ago saying they wanted to drop her because of communication problems (which im sure Osama had to do with), they havent done crap for her as far as custody or they would have dragged her ass into court. And now that she is fianlly where she is supposed to be, getting the help she deserves and a chance at life, they want to take that one chance away from her? Im sorry, nobody can love Britney more than her parents, thats a ggiven. Regardless of the mistakes they have made. Yes, Britney surely must hate them now because her father for one wanted to put bounderioes as a child and Lynne, just didnt know what she was doing to her girls in this business. This family needs to heal so that Britney can get a life and have some relationship with her sons, for their sake. If she messes up after this, then fine, whatever happens to her happens, but for now, she needs her parents.

47. JAMIE AND LYNN SPEARS WERE THE FIRST AND FOREMOST BLOODSUCKERS TO USE THEIR DAUGHTER. NEITHER OF THEM SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THEIR DAUGHTER'S ASSETS. THE COURT SHOULD APPOINT A NEUTRAL INDIVIDUAL TO CONTROL BRITNEY'S AFFAIRS AND MONITOR THE REPORTS CLOSELY.
BRITNEY BEARS MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER CURRENT SITUATION WHICH SHE CREATED BY A DEGENERATE LIFESTYLE. NEVERTHELESS IT WAS HER VILE AND INCOMPETENT PARENTS WHO WERE THE SEED OF THE MONSTROSITY SPAWN.

Elle-You are a total MORON!!! She has a mental illness and needs needs not only professional help but the support of people she can and should trust.....she can trust her parents, duh!!! They love "her" unconditionally and if they were in it for the money then they would have ripped her off a long time ago! obviously not, since she is loaded, not only that, if that were their intension's then they would not have asked the court to appoint an impartial co conservatorship! Duh!!! How stupid you are as well as others! Can't people have a little compasion for a human being who is in trouble and needs your prayers!????

50. Britney's lawyers CANNOT be her Conservator, people. Ethical violation. I hope they do 86 her "father". He looks like a child sex predator to me. Bad Dad needs to go back to the other LA. Britney lost everything for herself- not her attorneys. don't get me wrong I dislike the money grubbing attorneys in the world too. I hope she gets the help she needs and can one day be a great mom to her precious boys then consider a remnant of a career. Keep us posted TMZ.

55. I don't think it would be a bad idea for Wallett to remain in partial control of the estate. I also think that it might ease Britney's apprehension is another impartial third party was to replace him. I don't think he would or could mismanage her money, but if it helps take an ounce of stress out of her life right now, then it's worth the trade off.

Trope and Trope had had it with her, that is why they wanted to withdraw as her attys a while ago. She wouldn't follow their suggestion or recomendations , you can't represent a client who is unwilling or unable to help themselves. Now that she is getting treatment they do have a case to present.

Lawyers are expensive, they better the atty the more you payy. I hate it, been there too, but it's reality. Kaplan is a very capable atty and she needs equally decient representation. It does s*ck she's footing the bill, but it happens to men who have their " starter wives" all the time. Granted, it doesn't turn into this long drawn out fiasco this is....

Get bettter Brit, you have the boys and maybe in a few years, your career back. Getting help is nothing to be ashamed of.

56. Lynne said Brit's in a padded room.

I sure hope she's taking her medication because being in a nut ward WILL DRIVE YOU CRAZY.

57. MR. SPEARS FIRE BRITNEY DIVORCE LAYWERS BECAUSE THEY ARE UP YO NO GOOD. GO AHEAD AND DO IT. BRITNEY IS NOT CAPABLE OF HAVING A LAYWER AT THE PRESENT AND THEY ARE IRRELEVANT. SHE IS IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL . WHEN SHE IS HEALED CHOSE A DIFFERENT LAW FIRM. MR. SPEARS IT SHOULD BE JUST YOU AND YOUR LAYWER AND THE JUDGE FOLLOWING THE LAW TAKING CARE OF BRITNEY . THE COURTS ARE THERE TO PROTECT BRITNEY. EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD IS ON YOUR SIDE . AS A PARENT I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE, I MEAN ANYONE TAKING THE PLACE OF MY FAMILY IF SOMETHING WAS TO HAPPEN TO ME. THIS LAW FIRM IS DISPOSABLE, AND HAS A BAD REPUTATION FROM WHAT I HEARD. THEY SHOULD STOP HAVING ALTERIOR MOTIVE AND LEARN TO DO THINGS IN GOOD FAITH.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

59. The only good the paps did was get her exposed. It helped America see this girl was in danger of her illness. That is the only thing they should be applauded for. Also it may of helped her parents feel the urge to help her. A lot of times people go into denial when their kids are sick. It happens to a lot of people and seems to be a human reaction till something bad happens. I think people need to stop badgering the Spears and leave them alone. Everyone kept asking where is her mother and father? Why do they not help that girl? Now that they are some people now are not content with getting their way. They want to bash the parents and say this is about money. I seriously doubt her parents are going to steal all the girls money and throw her out on the streets. They are trying to protect their daughter from people like Osama. I sincerely hope that now that America understands Britney is unstable that they back off from stalking her, her parents and her children. This family needs time alone to recover. If in fact her parents and her have a bad realtionship, Britney is not going to get better until she can work on family issues from parents to kids. I am sure that part of her therapy would be working on a better realtionship with her parents and for everyone involved to know their blame. I am postive her doctors will work on that. If a person can not tie themselves to family how lonely this world would be. Britney needs them and she needs her kids at one point. If people like Adnan, Osama, Carla and her cousin stay away from her and stop enabling her she is better off. Her parents have cleaned house and people should praise them for it.
