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.

77. Figures ... six lawyers get together and decide to do nothing. Of course the billable hours for this chat could feed a poor family for several months.

78. TJ - do you really think that God cares about the capital 'G'...do you even think he cares that you read a fairytale book called the Bible. If you do, you need help. I think not. Yes, believe in a higher power but not in a book transcribed many hundreds of time, thousands of time over time, transcribed by men. Stick a fork in yourself, YOU ARE DONE.

79. I really believe that the reason she is having problems is probably because she was molested by her dad. Her behavior is in line with survivors of sexual abuse, and with his known use of alcohol, it seems reasonable to assume.

80. Elphie,

Exactly. And that is a cryin' shame.

82. they should get rid of trope & trope, they just want her money. There should never have been a hearing today for her custody. No changes and she will pay both attorneys alot of money for that, his and hers. Where is the judge in this? He should have cancled this, he can get any info he needs without wasting her money.

83. Everyone want's to know when Britney's trouble started? When she met Kevin! She loved, and trusted him. She loses her husband, her kid's , and has camera's in her face 24/7. That would make anyone crazy!! I do feel sorry for her. She need's to get help. But she also need's the support of her family. Which i don't think she has. Give her a break! Fenderline, was the start of her down fall! And, continuing downward spiral. All because, he did'nt really love her! He saw dollar sign's in his eye's! not love her, for her! He need's to go back to his other woman that he has 2 kid's with. And both of them need to go on with there pathetic live's. And, quit living off Britney!!! Let's see how far Kevin's singing career goe's then! Britney love's her Kid's and, yes she need's help. But to act like Fenderline is the perfect parent!? PLEASE!!!!

84. I think that what they are doing to Britney is wrong, wrong, wrong! Yes it seems as if she is emotionally going through a great deal, but to be in a psych ward with daddy in charge. Where was he before she got this far. If she was not Britney, but just another person would she be so cared about and in a hospital. This world is full of people who are going through a lot and act out, but are they in a psych ward. I am not saying that she is or was behaving appropriately, but after being married to someone who obviously did not care about her and having two children she cannot see, always having people up in your face, who wouldn't do a little crazy, stupid things. I say free britney!

85. rosie, you are illiterate and apparently quite fond of showing it!

86. Bipoar Disorder is not a crime and it can be controlled with medication - there is no reason whatsoever to deny Britney the opportunity to see her kids (under supervision) or to take her finances away from her.

WTF?

It seems that her family and KFed are interested in gaining contriol over Britney, mostly over her money.

This situation is deplorable.

87. Trope and Trope are Britney's attorneys. They are trying to get another person (not themselves) appointed as Britney's conservator because Britney hates her father and distrusts him to the Nth degree. They believe, I think, that she hates her father and distrusts him separate and apart from any mental illness. Being mentally healthy does not mean that any given person loves his or her parents.

========================================================================
Oh please, give us a break about Britney hated her father, because every drug addict heated their parents who want to get them sober and in their right mind and be a productive citizen, BUT THEY LOVE THIER PIMP AND DRUG PUSHER WHO ARE ENABLING THEIR DUG HABITS AND DISTROYING THEM IN THE PROCESS AND THEY ARE SO DURGGED UP THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN SEE WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM. Britney has gotten rid of all the good people in her life who ment her well, but is surrounding herself with all kind of creepy charaters with all kind of criminal records. Is this what you want for Britney, the likes of Sam and that married gray ass muslim guy Adnan in her life?

88. I see the same people are on her bashing Britneys parents again. Maybe they are "friends" of Shady Sam and Adnan the A hole. Her parents have more rights than a lawyer/friend/boyfriend to be involved with their daughters affairs. As far as what went on between Britney and her parents were you there? Do you personally know the whole story or did you read about it in a tabloid? Get off your soap box and let these people take care of their child and stop bashing them for caring about their childs welfare. I am sure these lawyers love her so much wont be billing her for their hours because they LOVE HER. DONT THINK SO. The courts appointed an impartial attorney to help Brits father: case closed. The blood suckers are the ones fighting the parents because they want back control of her accounts, credit cards, house, cars and etc.... Grow up and when you beome a parent then talk to me.

89. 68. Lisa - Can you provide any evidence to any of your accusations? They are just your opinions. He was not a good husband and they are now divorced. But that does not make any statement about him being a suitable parent. And, at this point, the courts have found him to be a more suitable parent for the kids the Britney is. And according to divorce laws, the parent who makes the greater amount of money has to provide child support so the children can have a suitable and compartively equal living situation. That is reasonable. And if this were the other way around (which it normally is) where it were Kevin who made more money then Britney and he was sending money to her, you would not be bringing this up at all.

Hopefully, Britney will get the care and treatment she needs and they will settle this all to the benefit of the children and the parents will learn to get along.

90. #76 Lisa, I am so tired of you people that live in some kind of la la land. My husband left me, after he beat me numerous times, both of my parents are alcoholics, other than them, I have no family, no support system, and guess what. I survived. I didn't have a public meltdown. My little world didn't end cuz my man left me. Britney Spears needs to grow up. And idiotic people like you need to realize women can get along just fine with out a man, and their worlds don't end.
