Celebrity Justice
Commish to Brit's Lawyers: Protect or Serve

Britney Spears' lawyers made it clear today in court: they want out. But it ain't that easy.

After meeting privately in chambers with Commissioner Scott Gordon, the matter was continued to Feb. 19. But here's what we know: the Commish wants to make sure when Trope and Trope says sayonara, someone has to be in place to handle the case. We're told the Commish wants Trope and Trope to come back with a plan and wants to know specifically who's coming in.

As we first reported, Britney secretly met with disso queen Laura Wasser, who represented her during the divorce, but quit Brit a few months back.

16. I'd want out too

17. I would feel more comfortable if an independent, friend of the court controlled the purse strings. 1) down the road Brit may blame her parents for enslaving her. But they could say they where there for her but the controller had the money. 2) I'm hearing talking of a world tour, that can't be good for Brit. 3) the parents wanted her and her sister to become stars but never cared about their education. Neither one ever graduated from high school or know what it's like to be a real kid. 4) it's hard to take care of yourself and manage your money when all your life you where just a tool. Some one could trick her out of her money.

18. As of right now the new lawyers would have to work with Brits parents - but then again in a month or two who knows who they would have to work with.

Sounds like they will have a very hard time trying to find anyone that would take it over on those conditions.




Good Luck Trope & Trope.

19. WTF is a "disso queen" when you keep referring to Laura?

20. Stay off the crystal meth, anyone who's ever used could tell. You're too good looking to let it take your soul, face, body and mind. It'll make any mental problem worse. I've always hated your music but as one human to another, I wish you well in your recovery and hope you get good lawyers.

22. I think the problem is that now the writers are back at work so they have to come up with some way to bring all the loose ends together for the big season ending cliff-hanger. What surprise twist could they be planning? Mama Lynn getting pregnant? Daddy Jamie having an affair with Ali Simms? Jamie-Lynn's baby turns out to be Adnan's or Sam Lufti's? Britney gets back together with Justin Timberlake?

Is there any plot-twist that could possible shock us?

23. Time to ship her off to the funny farm.

24. #13 Who cares?! We are talking about Britney not Obamba. Get a life and go back to watching cnn or something geez.
Good luck Britney. I am glad your family is helping you out.

26. To #20 "John" -- I'm not sure about "disso" but since she's a divorce attorney I'm assuming that it's a reference to "dissolution" or other legal term involved with divorce. But again, I'm not really sure.

27. MSN reported that Brit is getting ready for a world tour. Would this not be to much stress. Are her parents using this imaginary
tour to help her focus or are they only in it for the money?

28. Now this is spooky, when I go to page 2 of comments,, Fly's info comes up where mine should be to add a comment..

29. 1. Why shoud it be T&T resposibility to get new legal counsel for Britney (unless I read that wrong)? Also, if I was FAMILY SPEARS, I wouldn't WANT T&T choosing their replacement. As far as no law firm wanting Britney for a client, you don't know much about lawyers.

2. Gawker is reporting that Adan and Brit were secretly married while in Mexico (although he is still married - so marriage would be null). They are also reporting that $xx were offered to the soon to be ex-Mrs. Adan to hurry up the process. Papa Spears should immediately remove Adan's name from the guest list at the gate.

30. Well, it looks like SLUTney's lawyers are going to have to do more work than they thought. Apparently, SLUTney got married to the terrorist when she fled down to Mexico: http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2008/02/britney-spears-got-married-iii.html. Of course, it won't really matter, because SLUTney is insane & mr. terrorist is still married, but it's more paperwork for them. She just seems to go out of her way to make things difficult for everyone involved in this stupid drama...
