Britney Gets Extended Visitation, BUT! ...
Posted on Wed May 7, 2008 03:59 PM PDT

...an X17 source Xclusively tells us the psych report is what's holding her back.
Our girl Brit had a successful day in court where it was confirmed the mother of two would get to spend more time with her two kids and X17 has learned that "extended" time will mean some afternoon hours in addition to her current, three-hour (supervised) visits from 9 a.m. to noon, three days a week! And while this is great news for Britney, our source says that unsupervised visits or overnights are "well down the road" because of Brit's fragile mental state.
On July 31st, the court will address her father Jamie's temporary conservatorship over his daughter. We'd love to see Brit get her personal and financial freedoms back... but there's a catch. If Britney is allowed more independence, chances are it'll hurt her custody case.
Sounds kinda unfair, but that's the legal system for ya - we're just hoping for the best!
If the conservatorship is again extended, Brit might then get to see her kids more. But does that make sense?

In onther words She is still crazy and needs to be suppervised every minute. She can only see her babies with a team of experts with her all the time. She she was basically awarded some extra time with them, BUT, only with professionals watching her every move. Does not sound like she really won much at all after all.
I have to agree with you 4:13. Getting a few extra hours a week with your own babies, but with paid professionals watching your every move, is not something to be proud of.
X17, Kaplan even stated that over night visits would start in one month. Your source on the psych report? Just another X17 B.S caption with recycled pictures to generate discussion for this site.
Pa, Ma, Big Legals, and the deadbeat can keep on tak'n the dough.....keep her drugged just enough to not be able to get her life back, and hold the kids over her head for good measure, pimp her out for big money gigs.....and Ma, Pa, Big Legals, and deadbeat live high forever and ever.
X17, I see what you are saying. If Britney does get some freedom in the next two monthes (the coservatorship is over), then the courts will be afraid or at least reluctent to let her have her kids with her on her own since Britney is not being supervised. But if she is kept under the conservatorship with people watching her, then she can have more time with her babies. Either way she loses. The courts may let her have some of her own freedom back after july, but that does not mean they will let her have her babies back since that is a whole different think. I also think it will be some time before Brit will be allowed to have her own freedom and the babies alone with her at the same time. It may even take a couple of years to reach that point. I worked in the courts of L.A. for about four years and law a lot of family drama in the court systme, and when it come to children that have parents that the courts are worried about that have mental problems, the courts realy do take their time before letting a parent with mental problems have their kids back. And that is they way is should be since the chilren are what is important here and kids should never be put in danger like that. I hope Britney does get better though and eventually does get them back when she stabalizes. But that can take quite some time seeing how far down she went and how bad a mental condition she has. Good luck Britney!
"Sounds kinda unfair"
Sounds kinda unfair to who, Britney? I guess Britney's feelings trump the safety and well-being of Sean and Jayden.
Who made K fed scammer lawyer - Kaplan , the spokeman for the family court
Any additional time that Britney is allowed with her kids is a victory for Britney and the children.
OKAY WHERES HER FRAGILE INNOCENT CHILD POSTER WHO IS 47 YEARS OLD??
Sunnyday the child molesterer
These are her wacked out left over die hard fan. The ones that are mentally and emotionally very childish at 47 or even britneys age at 26.
Leszek piotr is 47 years old posting this garbabge. He is just as immature as Britney.
Victory Parade for Britney , location and time too be determined.
4:29 Obsessed with Sunnyday much? Why are you advertising his myspace page for him? Are you Sunnydays new bitch?
4.28 whats so victorious about britney not having ANY custody f her flesh and blood. Gee where were you when britney came out of rehab in april 2007 and decided for 13 months to not make a motion to the courts to get her 50/50 custody back? Let me guess you were then routing her on with her HOB tour that faile, OK shoot melt down and her VMA failure. Ya real Victourious.
The problem with people that have severe mental problems is that it is for life. There is no cure for Brintey's condition or she would have been cured already. All they can do is medicate her and supervise her for the rest of her life. It will be an ongoing thing, especially if she really is bi-polar. You can only control it, you can't cure it. That also means that if she goes off her meds or has a bad spot in her life again, that she can, and probably will go crazy again, which can end up losing her babies all over again. She will need the halp of her family and doctors for the rest of her life. Such a shame since she was such a great and fun performer at the begining of her career before she went downhill. I don't think anyone back then would have imagined her doing any of the things she has done in the last two or three years. With everyone in the industry now knowing what is wrong with her, it is unlikely they will invest in her like they did in the past with major tours (millions of dollars from investors, etc.), since she may and probably will go crazy with all the presure and cancel in the middle of the tour again and cost them millions in loses etc.
Britney asked him to marry her twice. he said NO the first time. Britney filed for divorce. WHo should pay for it? britney knew kfed is not in the same financial league as she is in.
She asked him for marriage , she asked him for divorce. YOu get what you want with the almighty fans dollars.
She will shoot herself at 31 just like her gramma spears did at 31(jamies Mother)
sunnyday sunnyday sunnyday
these are Britneys 47 year old fan base in foriegn countries..
Go buy britneys merchandise she needs your money
She really was one of the greatest performers when she started out. To bad she turned out like this.
Kfed begged Britney to get married , after which he got a hold of her Bank account and been living the good life , ever since.
too bad for her? who cares about her! She had enough money for 8 generations to follow her without ever having to work.
4:31 @2
Did you actually read my post at 4:28? Where did I mention anything about her having custody? And WTF is all that other rambling on you did about rehab and VMA have to do with anything in my post?
I stated that any additional time Britney is allowed to have with her kids is a victory for Britney and the children.
Would you like me to say it's a GOOD thing for them rather use the word victory? You apparently have a problem with the children seeing there mother. I do not have a problem with them seeing her.
4:34 Hopefully you'll shoot yourself too. But I'll bet someone else will probably end up shooting your silly ass first.
4:38@2 Well obviously you care something about her or else you would not be commenting on her life.
Her family waited a YEAR until they got involved and got her help. She was left alone with those kids and on dope. There are countless videos of her in the car, smoking, cussing, with the children in the back. Everyone around her did NOTHING. Now she's a stoned zombie on psychotropic drugs and she's not going to get the kids back anytime soon. Kevin was a good enough father to get those boys away from her and in a stable home. She comes over a few times a week and walks while someone else pulls the boys around and plays with them. She's a WASTE OF LIFE and a VERY bad mother. She spends more time at the gym than with her own kids. Some "mother"
4:51 "She spends more time at the gym than with her own kids."
-----------------------
Hey Genius, explain how she suppose to spend more time with the kids when she not authorized by the court to do so?
You should become more informed on the issues before you shoot your mouth off.
4:51 is just another assuming asshole that knows nothing about the facts.
4:36 Yep, that's true, but she's probably lucky she made it as far as she did. I wonder how things would have turned out had she not become plagued with mental problems?
She was said to have a personal account on 'BillionaireCupid.com' club with her hot pictures and blogs there. The site is getting hotter and hotter, cuz quite a few millionaires and celebrities tend to go there.
This is for all you idiots claiming utter victory- SUCK IT!!! I've been saying this since the decision came out that she was only getting a couple of hours more on days she already had! Nope, none you you fans could stand to hear this and told me I was full of it! Well, well, now the truth comes out and it is NOT good news for Brit and you're pissed off and lashing out at others because you were wrong! I usually don't gloat like this, but I was so tired of the inability of so many to see the truth! So there you go, the truth is out! Suck on it!
I think Brit is making progress every day.This isn't a movie but she is getting there. I can't believe the negativity on this board unless it's Osama Lutfi posting.
Britney and her family are getting there.
Chill out everybody.
Slutney chased after K-Fed because she lusted for him. She bought him. After she filed for divorce, she asked him if he wanted to come back to her and cancel the divorce plans. He said "No." She brought this mess on herself. Money can't buy love. It can buy sex, which is what she wanted from him and got.
I think Brit is making progress every day.This isn't a movie but she is getting there. I can't believe the negativity on this board unless it's Osama Lutfi posting.

Chill out everybody.
Is that the way she went to court, dressed like that? And someone has to guide her around and hold her by the arm? Pathetic.
Yeah, X17...Im suuure your hoping for the best.
She's not mentally ill. She's under-educated, spoiled, narcissistic, immature, druggie, and a party girl to name a few of her failings.
See, if Ma & Pa Spears pass her off as being mentally ill, then she can act as stupid as she wants and people will forgive her. Not all of us are fooled, however.
She does not want to be responsible for her two children. When her marriage ended, she was too selfish to care for the children even part-time and with all kinds of help, nannies, maids, cooks, etc.
She doesn't get off the hook that easily.

You're wrong on the visitation rights. Before the court hearing yesterday Britney was only allowed to see her kids once a week for a 3 hour time period. Her visitation rights were expanded at Tuesday hearing from once a week, to 3 times a week for 3 hours each. Over night visitation with her children will begin in a month.
Go to TMZ and check out the video of Kaplan after the hearing speaking to the press. Kaplan is definetly a more reliable sourse of information than TMZ will ever be.
Numerous other sites, People Magazine etc announced the same visitation rights I just quoted. Go check for yourself.
5:34- I take it your so close with the family to know that Britney is definatly NOT mentally ill? No one acts out like she has and dosent have a mental illness.
Of course she wants to be responsible for her children or she wouldnt visit with them or go to court and fight for them. No one can force her to do these things.
I dont remember ever seeing or hearing about nannies, maids, and cooks. Just assistants. SHe always had her kids with her. Anyways, if you were rich, youd have them to. So dont hate. Man, you sure act like you know so much for someone who knows so little.
5:26@1 Oh you poor pathetic moron...where have you been hiding all your life?
What ever made you think that the picture X17 is showing on this thread is her appearing in court? Your just another example of a deranged assuming idiot. X17 post a picture of Britney and comments on her visitation rights and you automatically assume it's a picture of her appearing in court. LOL Someone is probably leading your dumbass around by the arm too. LMAO@U
THIS WHOLE POST IS A FARCE ORCHESTRATED BY SAM LUTFI.
BRITNEY IS MAKING PROGRESS EVERYDAY.
GO TO HELL AND ROT, SAM.
5:34 Britney is either mentally ill or else you are. Take your pick.
THIS WHOLE POST IS A FARCE ORCHESTRATED BY SAM LUTFI.
BRITNEY IS MAKING PROGRESS EVERYDAY.
GO TO HELL AND ROT, SAM.
5:44 It's a farce alright, but it's generated by X17 to stir up contraversy among posters. X17 flat out lied about visitation rights. Sam Lutfi has nothing to do with the thread captions X17 post for comment.
I told Ya so The Lawyers will take everything Brit has and then demand more
X17 honestly your comments regarding Britney under her conservatorship are so lame. Britney has gotten so much better since she has been under her fathers care. I know you guys probably made a lot more money off her pics when she was with Sam acting a fool and driving to the gas station 20 times a day. Britney is your piggy bank. This conervatorship is good for her even though it isnt good for you.
Sam Lutfi is out of lock-up and is he PISSED OFF!
Sam Lutfi is out of lock-up and is he PISSED OFF!
5:49 Yup!
5:42(1) I believe back then Britney was the one who said the NANNY dropped the baby when taking him from his high chair.
I told Ya so The Lawyers will take everything Brit has and then demand more
6:03 And I believe that you dreamed up alot of crap too. I have never seen any pictures of Britney Spears using a nanny to care for her kids ever. Even when Britney had full time custody there was never a nanny pictured with her and the kids.
The sooner people realize that Spears suffers from some form of mental illness, the better off everyone will be here.

===============
No, you are incorrect. She was already visiting 3 times a week for the deal Kfed made. This was simple expanded a few hours. And also no, the overnight visits are not set in stone yet! She can't even enter into a legal contract, let alone make decisions for herself. And it is likely that unless they get someone to legally and impartially stay on overnight visits, this doesn't sound as likely as you might think. This very article itself says in quotes "well down the road". A month is usually not listed as "well down the road"! The fact that her psyche report is holding things up also does not bode well for her either. Even I know that she was visiting, supervised for every moment mind you, for more than once a week. I suggest you check your sources and read more carefully before you make such statements!
Of course Britney is mentally ill. Her eyes have no depth like they used to. Somethings definalty not right there. Its almost like her eyes have no "feelings" anymore. Its getting better but shes still zombie-like. Weird how I say it but im sure you get the jist. But I pray she gets better.
Why is there all this talk about Britney getting her "freedom" back??? Freedom to do what?? Flash her pantiless self?? Buy 10 boxes of laxatives all at once?? Sit on the side of the road crying?? Drive around aimlessly with her kids not strapped into their carseats properly?? Wearing incredibly inappropriate clothing out in public?? Being victimized by leeches like Lutfi?? He set her up for some serious embarrassment plenty of times!! The conservatorship is protecting her from herself!! If you can't see that you're dumber than Lutfi is sleezey!! Look back at some of the stuff Britney did...do you think it was a publicity stunt to get a cut from pap photos?? I thought so (very clever and industrious) but then she crossed the "normal" line with the head shave and the wandering and her "period" panties and the weird Rite Aid shopping, etc, etc, etc. The conservatorship is saving her!!
6:08 yes that post you responded to was true. It was while she was still married to KFed.
To tell you the truth they should let Britney live her life and be with her kids. people should butt out and take care of themselves. Children need their parents no matter what so for my opinion people need to clean their own backyards first.Leave Britney alone. Deal with your own damn issues.
5:34, the poster that does not claim she is mentally ill. I can certainly understand your frustration in this, but as much as I agree with some of your statement, I believe she is mentally ill and always have believed it and here's why.
Declaring her mentally ill will actually make things worse for her in many ways. If she was only lazy, she would probably have her dad get her out of this rut for some point. Being MI actually ruins much of her chance for the Spears Money Machine to profit off of her. Major promoters and venues are simply not as likely to take such a chance on banking her. Everything the courts, her lawyers, and family has said would back that this is a lifelong problem that simply will not go away. Even Scam Lutfi screwed himself by foolishly admitting her gave her meds and even said what some were and they are primarily for mental illness, especially in such combinations. There is no way that he could have made this up in some conspiracy. It would also imply that everyone involved down the road, including impartial officials are also in a conspiracy and that is simply not possible. As for pity, there is so much negativity with MI that while there will be some pity, many will just look at her as much worse off than just being lazy. If MI wasn't true, you can bet that her parents would have come out strongly against such accusations because it directly affects her money making abilities and image. Being MI also does not fully excuse her actions either. I know people who suffer from similar things and they are held fully culpable for their actions. Hell, they have even recently executed people who are mentally in similar situations. I'm sure that her parents would happily free her up to make more money instead of being blocked, possible permanently, from making even more money on deals contingent on her being mentally capable of handling her own affairs. So in essence, it is actually worse for her to be in this situation than simply being selfish and lazy alone. I'm not ripping on your opinion, I am simply asking you to consider that the myriad of evidence points to her problems being ones she will face for life.
Thanks 6:56 for defending what I said but I went back and looked for the article. Little Miss Britard at 6:08 it seems you are the ONLY one full of crap and more. Google it for yourself Spears Nanny drops baby. CBS News, LA Times and People covered it. April 1, 2006 6 month old Sean Preston was accidently dropped from his high chair when the NANNY went to remove him. Although a doctor came to the house that day to examine him, he was taken to the hospital the next day by his parents as he seemed sleepier than usua. Child Welfare and Sheriff deptuies investigated the case. See Britard, just because you don't want to believe it doesn't mean it isn't true.
Mary Good Voice another tard voice heard from. How about those kids, should they get a chance to live their lives? If left alone with a mentally fragile mother what do you think their chances are of survival?
6:28 I stand by my understanding of the visitation rights that were expanded in court Tuesday. I also trust the sources that I mentioned. And X17's caption comments on this thread are not my sources.
All of Britney's current visits with her kids must be supervised. The over night visits, which BTW Britney has been pressing for, will commence in a month and will also require supervision. As we all have seen from video footage of previous once a week visits, supervision basicly means her father being present.
If I were you I would not base my assumptions soley on one caption that X17 posted with this thread. I'm not going to start assuming what the definition of "down the road" might mean to some X17 flunky writing the caption. I do however comprehend Kaplan stating that over night visit would commence in one month. I'm quite sure the court does not deal in terms like "down the road," but it's obvious that X17 and you do.I would strongly suggest that you visit TMZ and do a search in search to Britneys visitation rights. You'll find an entire history of the child custody case starting with Britney actually losing custody of the children. I'm quite sure you would prefer that your comments be based on facts and not some vague caption comments that some X17 employee posted on this thread to generate discussion.
And yes, I'm sure there are definetly some concerns over Britney's mental status that be resolved in the future before unsupervised visitation is allowed.
Visitation now stands at 3X a week for 3 hours each with over night visits commencing in a month.
7:09, you act like I am not familiar with what other sites have said. I visit many sites in fact and this is another assumption you have incorrectly made. The supervision is also done by impartial people and not just solely her father. The fact that her visitation was merely extended a few hours is nothing miraculous. I am actually having a difficult issue finding what you base your assumptions on when it seems clear that this is not a major victory. The court also prevented unsupervised visits due to her mental health and that is why she was blocked from overnights and unsupervised visits. Nothing has been set in stone a month from now, yet you act as if this is a certainty. You also assume that this source was an X17 employee and I would like to see your proof of this as well. If everything was peachy keen with her, surely they would have given her more than what she just got. I see you are making big assumptions yourself and you seem to think you have some inside track that many others do not share. This is nothing but arrogance on your part! Remember, this is someone that can't even enter into a legal contract and this would indicate serious mental illness. Mental illness is not something that goes away with simply determination and lasts a lifetime. Maybe you should research how mental illness works and such things as brain chemistry before you deceive yourself that this is simply all going to go away.
X17 doesn't have any right to even offer an opinion in the situation of Britney Spears' mental state and financial/custodial situation or custody of children. It's none of your business, you know absolutely nothing about her medical condition or anything else, and you have absolutely no qualifications that would render your opinion of any significance. So Shut Up, why don't you?
To all the naysayers and haters, this is additional proof that Britney Spears suffers from debilitating emotional/mental problems which cause her some incapacitation in her life. You would be wise to desist from your constant hateful accusations of bad conduct and try to wrap your tiny brains around reality.
7:29
You don't know anything about Spear's mental state, financial/custodial status either.
Why don't you take your own advice?
7:29, so now you are just reduced to telling people to shut up. You just reversed you own statement about know what her status on the mental illness issue is by stating that you have inside information that she is suffering from something that you claim no one else is aware of! Specifically, you say there is no way we can know what her issues are and then you say she is having these same issues that you deny others of seeing (?). And no one needs to have the exact knowledge of her records when the results of this and the statement that the lawyers just made indicate something very obvious. You are frustrated and confused because this is an argument you are only shooting yourself in the foot with. You have lost all basis of constructive discourse and now you are just flailing and calling people who disagree with you as having 'tiny brains'. Too bad for you!
The problem with the conservertership is that it continues to be ILLEGAL. This Judge Goetz did her parents (and the lawyers that are fleesing her accounts) a favor by pretending that she is 'mentally incompetent'. but it cannot last forever-mental incompetence is by definition someone who cannot feed themselves, practice personal hygene, work, shop, drive, go somewhere w/o getting lost and not being able to find their way home etc. like a late stage alzheimers patient, 'bi-polar' or 'moodyness' oe someone that tends to have 'manic episodes' a spoiled brat etc. DOES NOT COUNT so if it's bad for the custody hearing so be it, but the conservertership must end pretty soon, i have been shocked that they broke the law and went this far with..hello constitution people!
high *5* @ 7:38
good post!
7:43, you claim that this is illegal and yet she is better off since this c-ship has happened. Surely, in a case this big, the legal experts would be picking this apart if it was not true. This would also reek of a massive conspiracy to make her appear to be mentally ill, yet no one seems to be questioning that this is necessary in order for her to survive. Just because not everyone in the world is under a c-ship with similar problems is not proof whatsoever that this is being wrongly used here. I am not a fan, yet even I can see that see had made improvements since it has been in place. Just look at pre and post c-ship to see the difference. If you are really a fan, I would think that you would want as much help and protection as she can get and that has been in place since this the c-ship has been in place. Totally cutting her loose is certainly not in her best interest at this point and it may and probably will be something that will last years and possibly a life time. You are digging at a mountain that you can't possibly move.
7:44, you sound like the post @ 7:37. Sorry if I was redundant in what you just said in your post as well. We seem to be in agreement. Cool with me!
While she might have a slight mental illness, her biggest problem is who she is -- a spoiled, narcissistic, selfish, incredibly STUPID, immature moron who has too much money who never grew up. At this stage in her life, I dont think she will ever change.
7:44, Sorry, I made an assumption 7:37 was you and I just realized it. My apologies either way. I am trying to avoid gross assumptions as much as possible.
that's ok, it's hard to keep straight when everyone is anonymous.
7:59-2, it may be more than slight, but I am not going to argue with your opinion. My friend who is SMI makes no excuses for himself when he messes up. He only seeks to rectify them properly and not make them again. He's got major problems, yet he owns up to his actions and I think it is a key to why he is doing so well.
7:25
We have all seen plenty of helicopter footage of Britney visiting with her boys recently. One a week to be exact. Do you recall how many so called "impartial people" were seen with Britney, the kids and her father while walking and pulling the kids in a wagon? Every picture showed only her father and a female assistant with Britney and her kids. Must I remind you that her father as conservator is legally held responsible for those kids while they visit Britney?
The visitation rights were expanded from once a week to 3X a week with over night visits commencing in a month per Kaplans press statement. Please direct me to the post where I stated that the new visitation rights were "miraculous?" Apparently you have assumed that I must think that, because I most certainly never stated that. Apparently you some how feel that yesterdays court hearing was indeed a major victory for Britney because you also used the term "major victory" in reference to the expanded visitation rights and not me.
Did you perhaps see the cover of "People Magazine" where they declared yesterdays hearing a victory for Britney? Something is motivating you to down play the new expanded visitation rights.
Who do you think wrote the caption for this thread for X17 that you base your assumptions on? It was definetly a X17 employee. I think you depend soley on X17 for your info.
There is no inside track, and I never claimed or implied that I had one. Once again you have made a grave assumption that is incorrect.
I ask you to go to TMZ and educate yourself on the custody and visitation issue to include Kaplans press video. It's very apparent that you would rather rely solely on the X17 caption on this thread to base your assumptions on.
The court hearing yesterday and the expanded visitation rights with over night stays starting in a month is not some big secret. The outcome was widely published and discussed on every site including X17 yesterday. However,if you wish to only base your assumption of what the visitation rights are after yesterdays hearig on what some X17 employee put on this caption that's fine by me. I will however encourage you once again to visit TMZ and search the visitation issue.
8:02
You have a real habit of making gross assumptions here with your post. I am however glad to see that you acknowledge making assumptions and you are making an effort to break the habit of doing so. Your post would carry much more weight if you only stick with the facts.
7:59
Britney Spears does not have a slight mental illness. She not under a conservatorship simply becauseof a slight mental illness. She's not allowed to be alone with her kids simply because of a slight mental illness.
And her mental problems have nothing to do with who she is.
8:07, did you meet your mentally ill friend on the short yellow bus?
Oh jeez, 8:08 ish, here we go again. There may have only legally been one day in place, but she was seeing them multiple times a week. Now it was made legal and extended a few hours. And how do you know who was there and who was not? I absolutely do NOT think that this was a major victory for her and if anything, if she was better, she would have gotten more than she did. A few more hours was all she got. Even Kfed's camp indicte in the past that she would receive more time and that was what she got, but it was minimal. And unless Kaplan is a judge, there is no possible way that what ehe said is indeed, concrete. I could also care less what people said in their cover. It smacked of simplification that was quickly given and nothing more. And still assuming that the source was an X17 employee again without proof. Just more assumptions on your part again. I have already been to TMZ and have even commented there, so I am not unaware of what is being said. TMZ is not the paragon of all correctness and has often doubled back on what they say, yet you state this as being irrefutable. Over night visitations will be very hard to pull of under a c-ship. I tire of your arguments because they are so full of holes. Others see this, yet you don't You are just stuck in future forecasting made by others who are not reps of the court. Kaplan is not a judge and TMZ is not the court either. If you are such a fan of TMZ, you might have better luck there. Just remember that there are more than 2 sources to this and nothing you have said has swayed me one bit. Your arguments are redundant and not cogent in nature. Enjoy your night!
She not under a conservatorship simply becauseof a slight mental illness.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...Think we'll ever learn what the exact causes of her behaviour are?
I'm thinking probably not...
8:27, spoken by someone taking cheap shots because you have no argument. Weak.
827
There is a difference between mental illness and mental retardation/ special needs. You look silly asking such question when speaking of mental illness.
7:34
You mean like getting lost like Britney did in the hills that night while driving her new black Benz convertible? You remember the footage right? The footage where Phillipe had to get in her car and turn it around and drive her out of the rural mountain dirt road because she was so confused and stated she lost and scared? :))
Fuck You x17 you people dont give a shit about Brit and you dont have any fucking source so stfu.
I tried to post this earlier, so I hope this is not a repost. Sorry if it is, the computer's slow-

Chucky, I made a prediction a short time ago that we would not see the direct records, only the results. I agree with you. It would not necessarily serve them, but it is their choice. It could go either way as far as helping things or not.
It was Muholland Drive, not a dirt road; I have had a friend get sick while traveling up the road, if you are not big on roller coasters it is one you would do best to avoid! Furthermore, adding the darkness of that night and the many vehicles in pursuit, it would be scary for anyone who doesn't know the road well! The paps had her follow them there and half way up she got freaked out. There are no guard rails as it winds up the hillside! She was lost because she had never been the back way, to her home! Go watch the video!

...I'm thinking we may hear the truth down the line in a big interview with Diane Sawyer (or something like that). Revealing what is REALLY going on would be a big coup for whoever lands the gig!
I doubt it will happen any time soon though - I would think Brit's got to get fully back on track career-wise before anything like that would happen. And sadly, with the way things are going, I don't know if that will ever happen.
...Sorry, that was a lot of "happens" in one post! LOL
Chucky, yup! I think it would help them and may come down the road at some point. It would certainly end much speculation, but I guess they must not be too concerned with speculation at this time as they have bigger fish to fry. I am not sure if charging headlong into her career again would be her best bet. I think that it could be a formula for difficulties if anything goes the least bit sideways. I just don't see her career as being a number one priority when there are still so may issues. She would probably have to be released from the c-ship to make it possible and that hasn't happened as of yet.
Chucky, no worries. I've got a sticky 'r' key and do not proof read as well as I should.

Your post made me consider what a Britney concert would be like if Papa Spears had final sign off on her attire and activity during a performance!
Tomyle er sam. Sorry sucker but maybe you should call the LA County Public Guardians office. They have thousands of conserved people under their care. Some of them are like you stated above but most of them require constant monitoring to take their medications. It is called a LPS conservatorship based on law called the Letraman-Petris act. Since you dont know what the hell you are talking about why dont you just shut your damn pie hole mmmkay!
8:57, the mind boggles!
8:57, the mind boggles!
There may have only legally been one in place, but she was seeing them multiple times a week. Now it was made legal and extended a few hours.
________________________________
If she was only legally authorized prior to yesterday day's hearing to see her kids once a week, how in hell do you claim she was seeing them multiple times a week? Where did you pull that statement out from?
And If she could already see them multiple times a week like you claim, why the hell did they even have a court hearing yesterday?
She was not seeing her kids multiple times a week prior to yesterday. She was only allowed to see them once a week just like the court order stated. Do you actually believe that court ordered visitation is meaningless and she sees the kids whenever she so desires?
It's apparent that you have no idea in hell what you are talking about making statesments like that concerning her visitation rights.
Are you aware of the fact that X17 has had a helicopter taking pictures of her kids outside visiting her once a week only prior to yesterday?
Where did you ever get the idea that Britney was allowed to violate court ordered visitation rights stating once a week and see her kids multiple time a week like you claimed prior to yesterday?
The entire purpose of the court hearing yesterday was to determine if she would be granted visitation rights beyond a once a week visit.
Her visitation rights are now 3X a week with over night visits started in a month per the press release by Kaplan.I'll be waiting for your explanation of just how you claim Britney was seeing her kids MULTIPLE a week prior to yesterdays court hearing.

...I was under the impression that Kevin was allowing her to see the boys (with heightened supervision...as in an army of bodyguards, lawyers, psychologists, her Dad, etc.) outside of the regular court order under a temporary deal hashed out by the lawyers.
True or false?
Hi Chucky. Gosh it's been forever.
I agree 5:34, well put. Britney may have some mental illness, but that DOES not excuse a lack of morals or neglecting her children. I know people who are mentally ill and can take care of their children.
I know someone who was in a conservatorship and never lost custody of her children.
There is always an excuse, she's influenced too much by Osama, she had too much too soon, she's mentally ill. There is ALWAYS someone who has had it worse and I can name several examples of people who, despite odds against them, have developed relationships with their kids.
She has A LOT more than most as far as materially and people who are on her side, SHE has really tried to flush it down the toilet.
The KIDS are the losers in any scenario. God bless THEM.
Kfed gave her 3 days a week from 9am to 12pm. The new order stretches the time frame from about 9am to probably 5 or so. Kaplan did in fact say that overnights were forthcoming within the month. That came from his mouth not anyone interpreting what he said. Any additional time that Brit gets to spend with her kids is indeed a victory. I believe she is mentally ill, needs the supervision but all children need both of their parents ( in a safe, healthy environment). I really dont understand why you people go on and on with these stupid arguments as if Brit was your sister or worst enemy or something
9:02, OMG! Where have you been living? Kevin was the one who went beyond the court's limitations. Now the court followed it up and added a few hours and made it legal! She visited them more than once a week and has been for a while! I am tempted not to comment on how capable you are any further than what I have already said, but.. You make zero sense to me anymore because you are lost in self caused inconsistency and over powering arrogance. Keep flogging that dead horse of yours!
9:04 I may have spelled the names wrong but we call it an LPS conservatorship in California. I am sure google can sort out the spelling.
Whatever, if you don't care to comment, then move along. This would seem to be what this thread is about.

8:27
I offered you solid proof of yesterdays court hearing outcome in regards to her visitation rights and you merely brushed it aside. ofered you "Peoples Magazine" and also TMZ.
Do you understand that Kaplan is Federlines attorney and that he made an official statement to the press after court yesterday? Kaplan plainly stated that the visitation rights had beenextended from once a week to three times a week with over nights starting in a month. You have now even blown off Federlines attorney Mark Kaplan and his official statement by claiming he did not speak for the court. Do you actually expect the judge to make an official to the press? Get real here. You are wrong on your entire understanding of the visitation rights and I have provided ample proof and you refuse to admit you are wrong.
9:14, thanks! I bet just googling the initials and c-ship would work. The search engine would probably say 'Did you mean.....' and give the right link. Great for when stuff gets misspelled!
Rainbow,
...Are you spelling things differently, or do I spot an imp??
9:16, Flogging_A_Dead_Horse_Again! That seems to be your mission. I tire of you. Being perfectly honest about that, because you bore me.
If Kfed-up was allowing her to see those boys out of the kindness of his heart; he would have been violating a court order! They went to court and Jaimie and Kaplan/kfed came to an agreement which the judge put into effect.
Ok you two stop arguing. I do not recall Kaplan saying she only had one day a week. About a month or so ago everyone was in court because Brits old divorce attorney got the boot by daddy. The new one came on board. Brit was not there. During that hearing Kfed agreed to allow 3 days a week for 3 hrs each day. The judge signed off on it. In Calif that is usually how things work. They have both parties and their lawyers hash out a plan and then the judge signs off on it. If the parties cannot come to an agreement then the judge sends them to mediation. It is easy to fight over this nonsense but I live in Ca. and I have been through a divorce. I am sure TMZ or Smoking Gun has the above documents. Hopefully this will stop the bickering.
9:08
That is entirely false. Where did you get that idea from? And what makes you think the lawyers have the authority to violate a standing court order pertaining to visitation rights?
Did you ever view pictures of Britney with her kids outside walking the street with an entire Army of people accompanying her and those kids? Go to TMZ and search the child visitation rights that have evolved over time and you'll see that you are incorrect.
I think 9:16 needs some Midol.
Urgently.
she is the only star that everything she do is posted on sites like these, maybe if you leave her alone the media ,the haters,and some of these site, she can live a avg. life! no matter what ,britney is changing for the better,she is not doing this for you , she is doing this for herself and for her kids!so move on !let go of this woman past because she has!!!

9:12 @1
Since when does kevin Federline have the authority to over rule a judge and decide when Britney can see her kids? Are you crazy or what? The judge is the only one authorized to approve Britney's visitations rights.
Chucky, I spell a few things different, didn't mean to.
Britney Spears’ Visitations Going Very Well
While the rest of Hollywood were still talking about the 2008 Oscars this monday morning, Super popstar Britney Spears was enjoying a visit from her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
OK! Magazine tells everything was going really well, The visit was from 9 a.m. to noon PT, A source close to Britney told : “The boys are very happy to see their mom”.
Just like it happened on the last visitation, on Saturday, today’s visit should happen only on the presence of Britney’s father Jamie Spears, Kevin’s bodyguard, a psychologist, a court-appointed monitor and a lawyer representing the conservationship.
The rumor around Britney Spears’ house is that the popstar could receive the visit from her boys at least 3 times a week if she keeps “doing it well”.Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vicent Kaplan says that these visitations will help the boys to normalize their family enviroment and in addition he said that Kevin always wanted Britney to regain the visitation rights.Kaplan also said to OK! Magazine that court hearing scheduled to April 9th will most likely not to go down due to several reasons , such as the court needs to finish the evaluation of both parents.The hearing is more likely to be in the early summer.

The court allowed flexibility of it and their judgment seemed to indicate it. Kfed did not have to do it, but he did. What his motivations for it were, I cannot speculate and won't. It seemed to be made of good intentions though.
its karma
Chucky, how is it tonight? How's it been?
What's on with 9:10?
9:12@2 In court yesterday Federline and Kaplan agreed to extend the visitation rights from once a week to three times a week with over nights in a month.
The judge however is the one that must agree and approve the visitation rights agreed upon by both parties.
9:26 you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are dense. Judges NEVER have a problem with children seeing their parents more time than may have been alloted in a court order, unless problems develop. After all, the desired outcome in any child custody case is the best interests of the children. The judge has no problem with Kevin being more generous. He would, however, have a problem with Kevin if he were to withhold any scheduled visitation time.

...Very quiet around here, Rainbow.
Where have you been hiding these days?
Please review 9:23 it explains the process
Lost in translation:
If even X-17 admits Skankney is in a "fragile mental state", you know what it means in plain English: she's retarded, totally incompetent and crazy as hell.
If you show her her kid and a pile of shit, 8 times out of 10 she can't tell which is which.
Thank you 9:31!
jfx Chucky, and "life" offline.
THe bottom line is that now after yesterdays court hearing the visatation rights approved by the Judge are: ? three times a week for three hours with over nights starting in a month. And that's the bottom line!
Reality you are welcome but I doubt it will stop the "debate". No matter what, the "fans" always refuse to acknowledge the truth if it doesn't fit their ideas.
Damn 9:35 is either hard headed or as delusional as Brit. Kaplan said phased in in the near future. Near future cannot be defined as one week, one month or one year. It is an obscure term, designed to allow wiggle room. It allows him, Kevin, the doctors and the court ample time to continue to assess her progress and make any further determinations on overnight visits.
...It's nice to see some debate on here tonight.
This place has been a little lacking in it lately!
9:31
If that is the case and Federline can decide when Britney is allowed to see the kids, then explain why there was a court hearing on extending visitations rights Tuesday?
Wouldn't it be just wonderful if the mighty anonymous at 9:35 would just produce Kaplan's one month statement? That would stop all the debate cause sure as hell his words of phase in in the near future can be produced right on the spot.

9:36, I am just bored senseless with a certain poster and my fingers are tired from much typing here and from real life. Your input is much appreciated and I am tired of going over the same things again and again. At this point, it's not even worth responding to that same poster. Filibusters may work in government, but they just get you ignored in blogs. It's like watching someone hold their breath until they get what they want. I saw a spoiled kid in a toy store turn dark purple trying it. He failed.
Kaplan made an official press statement after court on Tuersday and plainly stated in English that over night visitation would start in one month. If you have not viewed his statement then you're behind times.
ETs , spirits?
The very same so powerless , so so stinking dead shit.
No Thanks!

Chucky, you got yourself an imper friend. Sometimes I twinkle in the sky
If Federline can decide to allow Britney to see the children when you decides to, why have they been having court hearings to determine visitation rights?

...I figured as much... LOL
I think it speaks volumes that Kfed feels Brit should have custody/visitation. My guess it is because he actually KNOWS Britney, unlike the speculators here both fans and foes. If the father of these children feels it is in their best interest to be with their mother then why cant the rest of you have faith in his judgment and let her be.
Kaplan specifically stated in his press release to TMZ that over night visitation would start in a month.
I am carrying with me gift of immortality...
Love :)
Kaplan is not a judge. Those sound like a statement of intention. Lawyers work like that.
What many of you do not realize is that many famous people are mentally ill. Marilyn Monroe had manic depression known today as Bipolar Disorder, so is Ted Turner (ya know Jane Fonda's ex..owner of Turner Broadcasting which merged with Time Warner and he is worth over 2 billion or more) Bipolar, Greg Loughanis 5 time Olympic Gold Medalist, Bipolar Disorder, Alanis Morissette, Depression, Lionel Aldridge, retired defensive end for the Green Bay Packers playing and winning in three Superbowls, Bipolar Disorder, Abraham Lincoln, suffered from depression his entire life, but also had frequent anxiety attacks with burning eyes, headaches, indigestion and nausea. He was plagued by nightmares, visions and premonitions of his own death, Deceased Author Leo Tolstoy, Depression, Mike Wallace of 60 minutes, Depression, and more. Goergia O'Keefe, Roseanne barr, Tipper Gore aka (Al Gore's wife), Sir Isaac Newton everyone should know who he is, Carl Jung (famous for the Jung Institutes),Actor Jean Claude Van Damme, Bipolar, DecesasedJason Pollock the pioneer for expressionism art whose pieces sell for 18 million and more, Carrie Fisher, best known as Princess Leia in Star Wars, Bipolar Disorder, Barbara Bush - Former First Lady, Buzz Aldrin - Astronaut, second man to walk on Moon H,
9:41 lovely attempt at an answer but diversion is a classic britard tactic. Where again is the reference to Kaplan's one month statement? Phase in is clearly stated at talklivedaily and celebritysmackblog to name just a few. Now we will await your specific reference, okay?
I am sure anyone here can go to Youtube and see Kaplans statement. It may also still be on TMZ. It is him in his words, end of argument.
Britney needs to take her time to get healthy and strong because so much is at stake, especially regarding the custody of her sons. She can't afford to mess this up again, it's too important.
Damn when did I miss the pictures of Tipper Gore flashing her snatch?
It obvious based on the discussion here that Britney did in fact win approval of further visitation rights in court last Tuesday. It seems some poster have tried to play down the fact that she did win additional visitation rights. Hopefully things will continue to go well and she see the children even more often in the future.

Puppers is doing well. He's absolutely huge, and his ears can't decide if they're going to stand up or be floppy. He looks cute and ridiculous at the same time!
How are yours doing? You must be missing your friend a lot... :(
I predict no statements and no interviews. After the court finalizes custody, her manager will set her up with a publisher and writer. The book will be an autobiography with an as told to credit. She’ll have control and a major payday. Touring isn't an option anymore. jmo
...The theme on the list seems to be "creativity." Folks who are Bi-Polar to be the artists, musicians, actors and thinkers of the world.
9:51 I just went to TMZ and listened to Kaplan's statement TWICE. He referred to graduated expansion of visitation but NEVER once said anything about overnights. Sure you are listening to the right guy? Not too big, dark suit, grey hair.
9:50 That's right. Kaplan stated the over night visits would be phased in starting in a month.
I'm not going to TMZ and play lackey to provide you with a link. I know what Kaplan stated and you can do your research on his press release from Tuesday court hearing.
There is one positive thing about the latest court session, she seems to be actually listening to her lawyers and behaving herself in front of the judge. Will wonders never cease?
10:01(2) don't go cause it looks like you just got proven wrong by 10:01(1)
Did anyone watch the live stream from TMZ where Kaplan spoke?
I am watching tonight's comments with ... I saw the live report.
It was TMZ that reported beyond that stream. "Sources say..."
No one from the courthouse said anything about what some posters here are claiming tonight.
Regardless of what Kaplan may say it's already been stated here that Kevin Fderline can allow visitation as he so decides. One would think that Kevin would allow Britney over night visits if she ask him.
Chucky. Surrounded by friends. ah
We want updates on pup, especially up/down stairs?
Kurt Cobain - Former musician for the band Nirvana S
I don't think I would trust a source that refers to the lead singer of a band as a "former musician".

...AND, she looked the epitome of class (kinda) with her brown polka-dot dress and wrap, freshly done weave and french manicure that had yet to be chewed off.
I do think she's doing much better, in many ways. Such a huge difference than her last court appearances!
10:05, that's not outside of the realm of possibility, but they would have a lot of special considerations to follow. Supervision being one of them.
Yes I saw the live streaming video from TMZ outside the courthouse where Kaplan and Menitz both spoke. I recall Kaplan stating that over night visitation would be phased in starting in a month.
I doubt that Kevin is willing to go as far as overnights just yet.
What the purpose of having a court hearing to determine visitation rights if Kevin has the authority to allow her to see the kids whenever?
Many people on here make fun of the mentally ill. I am bipolar. I am also a college graduate with a masters. I work with victims of domestic violence. I have worked for the Federal Government and I quit to do what I am doing today. What I am trying to do is open some of your minds up. It is not tragic, it is not the end of a person's career, it is a disease. It can be a mood disorder or a thought disorder, or many other types. It does not mean a person CAN NOT function in society. Britney flashing was likely done in a drug induced or drunken stupor. That is the past. Presently she is getting the help she needs. Sam Lutfi did not help by mixing up her drugs. I will not judge his motives. It takes time for someone who has had a breakdown to recoop. She is slowly getting her life back. I am praying for her and her family. I know that there are people here who HATE but all I can say to you is that there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between some who is MENTALLY ILL and someone who HATES. We that are mentally ill can become STABILIZED with meds, and therapy and function, there is not a MAGIC PILL or any TERAPY that can make you stop HATING. Do you not realize that you hate because you have LOW SELF ESTEEM. LOVE YOURSELF SO YOU CAN LOVE OTHERS STERS NEVER WIN!!!!!
Chucky, I have no idea what the heck Sunnyday is talking about! Do you? Does anybody out there?? Does Sunnyday???
yes anyone can violate a court order if they choose to do so!
Last time I checked violating a court order issued by a judge is against the law.
10:11, there are still certain considerations that must be followed. Typed and tuckered out, but not yielding in what I said. I stand by it. My redundant antagonist may try to claim victory, but it is not. I'll be back.

...I'm not quite sure either. I was a little scared by it all at first, but now have come to enjoy it as part of the X17 experience!
Kurt Cobain is deceased. What planet are you from? He shot himself in the head. Have you never heard of Courtney Love. He was her husband and the father of her daughter. This is what happens when close minded people judge. Mental illness can happen to anyone at anytime. It is nothing to be ashamed about. There are millions onthis planet that are mentally ill. Britney Spears is just one of many. She can do anything she wants to do. The sky is the limit for her.
10:12 Amen to you and your wise words. I am sure that the women you work with are very blessed to have you. I agree completely on what you had to say. To add to that many bipolar people use drugs and alcohol to "self medicate" it is all part of the illness.
eyi, what's all this K-Fed power?

...I agree with 10:25 PM, by the way. I don't mean to sound nosey!
10:20 K-Fed has involved the law.
He doesn't decide how/when anything when it comes visitation by Britney Spears and her children.
You have good points just....depersonalize it and put it the way it is. In the court of law.
K-Fed does not have the legal authority to set forth any visitation rights. K-Fed may agree to visitation rights, but he is not legally in a positions to approve those rights. The entire purpose of the court hearing on Tuesday was for both sides to work out additional visitation rights and have the judge approve them and issue or order. The judge is responsible for ensuring the overall safety of the children in this case.
No Rainbow. In Ca they pretty much let the parents work visitation and custody out if the parents can. The judge basically signs off on whatever the parents decide. Kfed does hold the power here to make the decision. Of course a judge would not just give custody willy nilly if it was not in the best interest of the kids so you are correct, the judge does have the final say.
One trait 'The Unholy Trinity' of Britney & Paris & Lindsay seem to have in common is that they all tend to be "sticky-fingered"! The infamous LiLo's latest case - the fur stole...er...coat caper!

10:28@1 Thank you Rainbow for your answer. You seem to be the only one posting here on this thread that understands the legality of the court ordered visitation process.
Can you imagine what would happen to Federline if he violated the visitation order and allowed Britney to see those kids and she harmed them? I quite sure the judge would not be pleased that his order was not followed properly.
10:29 I will have to look into that.
Perhaps I was naive or "educated" thinking it was about "points of law."
That is so true Chucky. I hope the person who wrote about being bipolar will answer your questions. I think it would be helpful to everyone here to understand the illness a little better. Maybe some would be less judgmental if they understand it.
10:33 there have been several court hearing before last Tuesday on child visitation rights. Go to TMZ and search visitation rights and you'll find the history.

Why are some postering that K-Fed, as a person, has any personal control over Britney's life, other than through his lawyer?
Posit. He too now, must defend his behavior and what he does with the children.
Only a matter of time, before all that comes out. Do you think, or am I being hopeful, and naive again?
10:29@2
Once the judge signs off on visitation rights, who has the authority to change/alternate the rights the judge approved?
Dont get me wrong when I say kfed has the power. What I mean is Brit doesnt have much negotiation room. The judge does have to sign off on anything. Kfed cannot just send the kids over there whenever he wants. The order to allow 3 mornings a week was signed off on by the judge when daddy fired the old divorce attorney. Brit wasnt at that hearing so kfed negotiated with pops.
Thanks for the info 1036
I think it would be helpful to everyone here to understand the illness a little better. Maybe some would be less judgmental if they understand it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...I only ask about these things because my ex seems to show signs of it. I could never convince him to get tested, but I did a bunch of research on it and he has so many of the signs. He's an artist, very, very creative. A very intelligent guy, but struggles to get by on a day-to-day basis. It's so painful to watch him, and I wish he'd accept some help. He says it's just his personality, that he's a "Scorpio" and it's just the way his brain works. But I can't help but think he'd be so much happier in the long run if he accepted it.
Everybody has a weakness...Some people are strong in mind and body, but have a weak spirit. Others suffer from physical ailments. He has a very strong spirit and strong physical health...but his mind...I really wonder... :(
10:34, do you think some people's opinion here is based on excitement? Kevin having control or power over the Spears family?
In any case, he is on the line now as well as Britney. Scrutiny, and all within the power of the courts now, investigators, CPS, ... expert witnesses, and so on.
But it comes down to law, doesn't it?
I mean Kevin "could" have been "nice" and given the children to Britney for Easter, but not without the law. Am I right?
He can't step outside of it now.
Where are Brit's cute little pooches (London & Bit Bit)? Whatever happened to that white "purloined" puppy from the puppy-mill pet shop that she smuggled out in Alli's big purse?
Only the judge has the authority to change the orders. The point I am trying to make is the judge allows the parents to negotiate the details of the visits and then he signs off. Again, if the judge did not feel the parents plan was good for the children he would not sign off. Chucky, LOL I knew what you meant about 4 legs LOL. I love my little 4 legged friends.
10:39
The judge just approved 3X a weeks visit in court this last Tuesday. I was under the impression she was only allowed to see the kids once a week prior to Tuesday court hearing??
...Milo, I think that's the least of your worries.
10:18 Chucky
I self medicated and was a high functioning person but always was very obsessive compusive and I always felt a little different. I had anxiety attacks from about 18 years of age and was prescribed valium for them. I was also given a drug called Atavin. Both of theses drugs helped me to be able to function and everything fell into place for me. I had a job that paid $36,000 a year by age 21 in 1982. Back then that was a very good living for a woman. I could go for days with only a couple of hours of sleep per night. I thought it was great. I was always energetic and at the top of my game. But about once a year I had to crash and I would go to bed for a week at a time. I thought it was the flu because it was usually winter. In my thirties I was diagnosed with a mood disorder. I went through a number of different medications, until I was finally put on Trileptal a mood stabilizer and klonopin for anxiety. Trileptal was a miracle drug for me. For the first time in my life I could sleep over 4 hours at a time. I am Type II Bipolar and I experience extreme bouts with hypomania. It seemed great when in college, I did not need sleep but the low end of it really sucks. As long as I stay on my meds and ACCEPT MYSELF I have a great life. It is up to the person with the disease how they cope. That is why I devote my life now to dom.violence victims. My life was saved and I pay it forward the best I can.
It's only a matter of time before someone makes a movie of Brit's life. Who should play the Princess of Pop?
Some are bummed because she didn’t crash and burn. Some want her ex to crash and burn next. I like the lil’ rugrats. They‘re cutie pies. I want them to have a decent mom and dad.
Ah Chucky I am sorry about your ex. My brother is bipolar and we saw signs of it early in his life but didnt know what it was. Usually people are diagnosed after they have a serious manic episode which can include, not sleeping at all for long periods of time, risky behaviors, flights of thought. My brother even hallucinated during his manic stage. It is very scary but he has been great on medications and doing well. He is a parent but I have guardianship of his children so I can ensure their safety. I am also a Brit fan so go figure LOL
...Milo, I think that's the least of your worries.
LOL
Court documents distilled say,
Mom .... Dad... children... child .. child...
Some of the most significant documents used in this case are distilled to that by social workers.
Mom has met. Mom has done. Mom has done.
Dad is willing. Dad was absent. Did not show for...
There is not a whole lot of Britney and Kevin in court. It's distilled. Would you, in the know, agree?
Inform me please.
Milo, you are certainly NOT mentally ill, but you are kind of stupid.

...Ah, yes, my ex told me he was obsessive compulsive as well. I wouldn't have known otherwise, I don't think (other than small things...if I tell him to quit looking for, e.g. a hammer, he'll continue looking for the next 20 minutes, even though I keep telling him I don't need the hammer anymore...or if it's bed time, and I tell him it's time for bed, sometimes he'll sit for hours in front of the TV just to prove to me that I can't tell him what to do...I don't know that it's obsessive compulsive, or just a "counter will" thing...) But he apparently counts when he gets stressed out, or will count hydro poles passing as he drives, or will line up 45 degree angles with his eyes...
...And that's just the tip of the iceburg. When he's stressed out things go haywire...really chaotic...but when he's calm you wouldn't know there's a thing wrong.
It also goes in cycles...two months of calm, one month of chaos. Just like clockwork.
I guess it's part of why I find the Britters story so fascinating!
10:44
Federline has been bound by the judges court orders during the entire custody/visitation process. Those who claim he has the authority to go outside the judges approved visitation rights are extremely naive.
I do not believe that Federline can alternate the approved visitation rights at anytime without the judges approval without breaking the law.
If Federline could decide and allow visitation rights on his own, there would be no need for a judges involvement or a court hearing.

jamie-lynn should play old sissy britney in the movie
Hi Rainbow, yes the judge takes a lot of things into account but in Ca we have to do a lot of negotiating during the divorce/custody process. Parents are required to go to mandatory mediation classes and meet with a mediator. When Brit and Kev left the courtroom for that hour tues they were most likely meeting with a mediator and negotiating visiting time. The mediator assists the parents in coming up with a schedule. The mediator also makes recommendations to the judge. If CPS is involved it is a whole different ballgame. I dont think CPS is involved in Brits case other than to watch what happens with the custody and if she gets unsupervised time they might visit her sometimes. I am sorry if I confused people when I said Kfed had the power. I just mean if he was against her having visits it would be an uphill battle for her to get them.
jl's got the same fugly hairline back to her ears
Usually people are diagnosed after they have a serious manic episode which can include, not sleeping at all for long periods of time, risky behaviors, flights of thought. My brother even hallucinated during his manic stage.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...I don't know if he has hallucinations, but he is certainly paranoid. Lots of talk of CSIS (the Canadian equivalent of the FBI) watching him. There used to be lots of talk of aliens and armageddon when I first started dating him, but that seems to have subsided over time.
There's also lots of crazy spending - he has kids, and he pays his ex FAR, FAR in excess of what he needs to over and above his child support, even though he can't afford it...I think she knows how gullible he is, and plays it to the hilt. And then I'd find out later he was taking me out to dinner or helping me with bills when he couldn't even afford to buy groceries for himself. He has a big, big heart...but his reasoning skills when it comes to "life" leave me a little frightened, especially considering he's 37-years old.
I guess it may be why Brit is under a conservatorship right now. Never really thought of it that way...
I feels like your brain is running very fast. At time you can almost feel it and for me I could learn almost anything if I saw someone do it. I graduated highschool at 15 years of age. I am still a quick study. But because I never relaxed and everything felt like it had to be perfect all the time I would get angry when something was not the way I felt it should be. I did not see myself as others saw me. I hid my disorder pretty well for years. But finally I got tired of hiding it. I realize that it is just an illness. I may not ever recover but I can keep it in check. I am not an angry type of person and it takes a lot to get me angry. But when I do, I tend to go to extremes to make my point. These days I do not do that so much. I channel my energies doing things for the greater good and that helps me help myself and others. It took a lot of time and patience and work to get this disease under control. I was willing to do the work. That is the key. HOW is HONESTY, OPEN MINDEDNESS and WILLINGNESS.
Milo @ 11:00 Stop making an ass of yourself and go to bed!
Here's my point and I am going to bed.
Fed did not give her anything. Kaplan did not give her anything.
Brit met the points of the law.
"Mom was present. Mom picked up kids. Mom wrote letter to children. Mom did not .. We have not seen Mom...."
K-Fed gave her nothing.
Goodnight, I think, Chucky, and those who know "points of the law."
And goodnight to Papa Spears who listened to all of what the lawyers said, and knew what to do. Advised, yes, but he did it. And Britney Spears did too.
Give her some credit. "Why am I going? Where am I going? ahh. okay."
That post was from me by the way, Rainbow, ya'll etc.

You are wrong. Once the judge approves the visitation rights any alteration or deviation from his order is a violation of his order and against the law.
Just like you stated Federline cannot within hold visitation rights contained in the order, on the same token he cannot legal grant them either without violating the judges order.
Do some parents grant more visitation rights than a court order mightspecify at times, definetly so. But they are in violation of the visitation order.
Considering Britney's mental status, Federline would be a fool to allow her visitation rights not contained in the judges order. Not only would he risk losing custody of the children, he could also face criminal charges if she harmed them.
Chucky my brother was paranoid also. When he was manic he thought people were poisoning him and following him. He could hold it together throughout the day but as it got later and later he would start talking paranoid. He also spent money he didnt have and was very generous. Its too bad your ex wont seek help. It must be hell living like that.
...Goodnight, Rainbow!
11:10 K-Fed is represented by a lawyer. He doesn't do anything his lawyer doesn't tell him to do.
It's Kaplan, Brit's attorneys, the judge and that's all. There's no "He would be a fool to..."
That's smack. Do you understand the gun K-Fed is under by his own, order?
He may have input, and communicates through his lawyer. Heck the two or three have a publicist but it comes down to points of law.
What do you think lawyers study anyhow?
9:59
I predict no statements and no interviews. After the court finalizes custody, her manager will set her up with a publisher and writer. The book will be an autobiography with an as told to credit. She’ll have control and a major payday. Touring isn't an option anymore. jmo
I agree. It’s been years since she did an interview. I don’t think she could handle difficult questions. A book would probably make money.
Hey, Chucky? good night to you too. I didn't find what was happening with the staircase and pup, above. Did it get buried?
Meanwhile, when did the "big offender" outside your home and on the Net, vacate?
It was really nice to talk to you and others.
My late nephew was bi-polar and the proper medication and treatment made a world of difference in his life.
Goodnight Chucky if you want to talk about my brother et al you know my hushmail. Take care all. This has been a very pleasant discussion tonight.
Its too bad your ex wont seek help. It must be hell living like that.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...Well, it's part (or as far as I'm concerned!) all of the reason he's my "ex." I was pushing him to get help, and he kept saying he "didn't have time." Then he'd come up with all these things that I did for why I was a bad person and why he was breaking up with me (e.g. a year and a half ago I told his four year old that he had to eat a few bites of his food before he could have a fourth glass of juice...and it got brought up about two months ago. It had turned into me being "overbearing." He yelled at me, "WHY?!!? Why would you do that??? Why would you tell him he couldn't have any juice???!!?" It was the most bizarre thing...as if he was finding little grains of sand and turning them into boulders. It was easier for him to just cut me out of his life than to actually deal with it.
The sad part was, his family was no help at all. I suspect his mother and at least one of his siblings have it, but because it is "normal" in their family to behave the way they do, they don't see anything wrong with what is going on and in a sense almost seem to encourage it.
So sad...At least in Brit's case, her family seems to have a good grip on how to handle it...
11:07
It is possible he has Type I which is what my hubby has. He is fine on his meds. But he has to take Anti Depressants and Risperdal to avoid Psychosis. People with this disorder have episodes of mania and episodes of depression. Sometimes there are fairly longer periods of normality between the episodes. He goes to a dark place every now and again but I have a Psych degree so I know what to watch for. Like I said it is work for both of us. Your man could be a rapid cycler which is mixed episodes of mania and depression and several in a year. There are just too many to list on a blog but there is a lot of information out there. You will likely never convince him he has a problem until he is willing to accept the help. It can be very hard on loved ones. But it is not so bad with treatment. Anything in life that you enjoy having is worth working for. At least that is how I choose to live. I wish you all the best and your man too.

You are absolutely wrong in your statement. If the court order prior to Tuesday's hearing stated once a week and Ferderline allowed 3X week visitation, he was in violation of the judges approved visitation rights. You only made that statement in an attempt to bolster your prior position that Britney really did not gain anymore visitation rights last Tuesday.
No way would Federline risk altering and violating the judges standing visitation order. By doing so, not only would he risk losing custody of the children, but he could also face criminal charges if Britney harmed the children.
You are extremely naive where the law is concerned, or else you flat lied to bolster your position.
I didn't find what was happening with the staircase and pup, above. Did it get buried?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...Nope, staircase didn't get buried...I just lost track of your post. Wasn't sure if it was you!
I'm not sure about the staircase thing...was he having problems last I talked to you? He tears up and down now!
And the "big offender"...??
Britney was legally allowed once a week visitation prior to Tuesday's hearing. The judge on Tuesday approved three times a week visitation. Any fair and reasonable person would admit that was a MAJOR gain in visitation rights and a victory in court. Not only a victory for Britney, but her kids also.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about the rule of law and trial procedure in California custody cases.

...That sounds a lot like him...A month of "mania" being high agitation, then two months of "normal." (Although, he claims it's just depression and anxiety...I really don't know...sleep patterns are fine, and I'm not seeing the "lows" of depression like I have with others...)
But you're right...He likely won't accept help until he decides to do it on his own. So what can you really do, other than just be a friend? That seems to be working out the best right now, so it's all good! :)
...Now I just hope he never hears me comparing him to Britney Spears! LOL
8:27@1
You just cannot except the fact that Britney scored a VICTORY in court last Tuesday.
Oh my gosh 11:40 you are a day late and a dollar short there. I think this was resolved some time back
11:36 3,
Sounds like you better be careful around your mentally unstable friend.
The parents of Miley Cyrus don't seem to have learned anything from the serious issues faced by the Spears and Lohan families regarding their daughters and I fear young Miley is destined to experience similar problems in her life.
11:23 #1
It is highly likely that there is more than one person in his family that has mood disorders, possibly Bipolar. Families tend to accept the behavior if they act out as well. They don't want to be known as the family with the crazy people in it although it comes to light by itself. I am one of ten children. All of us are Bipolar in my opinion. Only since my brothers and sisters have gotten older and there is not such a stigma on mental illness some have began treatment especially when they saw the difference in me. I am #7. They used to treat me as if I was the black sheep for seeing a psychiatrist, and getting therapy. But now they ask me questions on what I did and I tell them I am not objective because I am family. I refer them and one of my sisters is in treatment now, one of my brothers who wrote me off came to me and apologized after 10 years and told me he understood. Another sister is starting to open up about how she may be Bipolar as well. The word MENTAL scares people. It just means there is an imbalance of the brain. If left untreated it can be deadly. If you are dealing with a paranoid delusional person do not try to take them on by yourself. Even if you love them. That is what healthcare professionals are for. Police can do welfare checks on him also confidentially informed of course. It could save his life.
It was indeed decided a day ago when the judge order visitation right be extend from once a week to 3 times a week. Get that helicopter ready X17, you'll really need it now. LOL
What do you think lawyers study anyhow?
***************************************
Trial lawyers study precedent case law, procedure and develop argumentation skills. Lawyers don’t dictate, they advise their clients.
OMG, sounds like there are alot Britney's running loose out there somewhere tonight. Bring on the conservatorships.
It sounds like some are saying her ex boyfriend could be dangerous. I don't think it's right to say it unless you know him.
Years ago young stars were lucky enough to be allowed to make many mistakes and solve their problems in private, long before the damn paps made every single thing they do public, like they do now.
Bipolar is a serious illness. Not everone suffering from depression and/or anxiety is Bipolar. Responsible doctors hesitate to give that label to someone because it IS so serious and it worsens with age. Too many irresponsible doctors shove the wrong meds down someone's throat after talking with them for one hour only, ever, with no history and it takes time, an intake and therapy before such a label is put on a person. There are many other conditions and mood disorders that are NOT bipolar, unipolar, and if you look up the facts, the majority of Americans suffer some kind of depression and/or anxiety at some point in their life time, which can be treated and cured. Also, if drugs and alcohol were used/abused, the recovery can take years just for the brain to operate in a normal state, and the person will have to fight addiction for the rest of their lives.
If you are dealing with a paranoid delusional person do not try to take them on by yourself. Even if you love them. That is what healthcare professionals are for. Police can do welfare checks on him also confidentially informed of course.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
...Oh, goodness, it's not THAT bad. I swear!
I don't think he's paranoid or delusional to the point of being unsafe to others...just to the point of having a hard time functioning on some days. He has a hard time getting things done, tends to forget appointments, spends money like it's going out of style...just generally has a hard time coping day-to-day...but then after a while everything goes back to normal again and you'd never know anything is wrong.
It's a lot of the symptoms of ADD...but I don't know...it's SOMETHING, just not something I'm able to "diagnose" on my own...
I’m a pop culture buff. In the old days, everyone was under contract with the studios. They controlled the talent and helped hide negative information. The rival gossip queens Hedda Hopper and Luella Parsons were vicious. It wasn’t a bed of rose to have a studio boss tell you who you could date and gossip columnists threatening your livelihood. You’re right though, it’s definitely worse today.
CHUCKY one of the reasons I am always reading about Britney Spears is that she is a fascinating case study. I also teach two classes at the local college. In my opinion just observing her in videos and watching her crash that she tends to have the symptoms of Bipolar Disorder. It is not uncommon for people with Bipolar to be Comorbid like she is. One medical condition existing independently with another and that is likely why so many people who are Bipolar are also alcoholics/addicts. She exhibits all of the classic symptoms of Bipolar Disorder which are not easy to fake. She does not seem to be paranoid, delusional other than gradiose which goes with the territory of bipolar, those temper tantrums she has had are rage attacks, and the anxiety she has had going to court were probably very real to her. She likely did have them. If this was not the case there would be no conservatorship. She definitely has some type of mental illness. And for those that do not know Alcohol and Drug Addiction is a mental illness according to the DSM IV, the standard that Psychiatrists and Psychologists use to identify mental illnesses. Britney Spears has just as much of a chance at a COMEBACK as she did at being the huge STAR she is. No matter what her bad behavior of this past few years she will likely stablilize and do quite well.

...Ah, and this is why I stuck with my ex for so long (and okay, I'll admit, kinda continue to hold out hope). He's a very talented artist, very ambitious and hardworking...and he JUST. CAN'T. QUITE. GET. his shit together. Before he met his ex, he used to be a graphic designer and illustrate children's books...and he always seems just one day away from pulling it all together and being successful. But it's always one step forward and two steps back.
You know, kinda like the Brit...new weave, new nails...but STILL those same damn brown boots!
It has been nice sharing with you good people tonight. And Chucky don't fret over this too much. You are powerless over this man. It is up to him to seek help. You are likely a woman who cared very much for a man that did not appreciate or understand that you meant only to help him. You sound like you are part of the SOLUTION, not part of the PROBLEM. Chin up! Good night!
...Wow, 3:15 am on my coast. What the heck?
I guess drinking that Red Bull right before bed was a BAD idea! LOL

You should watch Citizen Kane and RKO 281 The studio era was covered in both films. I had a friend who wrote his thesis on the Hollywood Blacklist. He passed away and his book is out of print but there are other authors on the subject if you‘re interested. There's also less film treatment of the subject.
Consider researching the transitional period of the omnipotent publicist gatekeepers. In the mid to late 20th century, publicists held tremendous power. The emergence of the Net in everyday life - especially blogs undercut their power significantly.

Maybe the boots are just comfortable. Everything in life does not have to be explained. It is 2:26 here and I too am up much too late. I am on call at the crisis center tonight. Thank God that there have been no crisis victims come in tonight. That is a good night when no one comes in abused. May we all have peaceful days ahead. Again good night. I AM GOING TO TRY TO SLEEP A BIT. If the tea will wear off. That RED BULL WILL GET YA EVERYTIME TOO. But it is great in the daytime when you need that extra caffeine.

Rosebud is a classic line.
Have fun brainstorming!
I never paid any attention to the young celebs of today until the highly publicized custody stories about Britney. Then my grand niece pointed out how so many of her faves were having serious problems with drugs, alcohol, anorexia and sex (i.e. Mary-Kate & Ashley, Brandi, Brit & Jamie Lynn, Xtina, LiLo & Ali, Paris & Nicole, Jessica & Ashlee, Hilary & Haylie, the HSM girls and many others!
One Last Note:
Obviously Orson Welles directed and starred in Citizen Kane. We both know it's a film classic. RKO 281 worth a watch. It's about the Orson Welles brillant but difficult early career.
Duh! I misspelled brilliant!
It’s time to say goodnight.
Have a good time =^..^=
G'Nite, Chucky!
I’m fortunate to have an autonomous schedule twice a week. The other three days, my schedule starts late and ends in the early evening. I have some personal matters to tend to tomorrow. I hope to talk with you another night =^..^= I think you’re going to be a great grandma one day!
...and NONE of this would have been possible with Osama Slutfi involved...
...Jamie's been workin' hard to undo all of Slutfi's damage
1:00 Thanks, that's sweet! Now I'm going to sleep and dream about MY gorgeous George Clooney (who better damn well be straight or else I am going to be royally pissed!!!). G'nite all!
Well, it's true!
Night =^..^=
Looks like some chess players tried to horn in tonight! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
There are MULTIPLE pics of Britney with a nanny when she had SPF. She was a hispanic one. There is the pic of Britney all dazed out, not interested at ALL in her baby, while the nanny carried the baby...the pic on the escalator. Also - that nanny didn't drop SPF. Britney was responsible for his injuries, but paid the nanny $40K to say she did (she cashed the check at a Culver City WaMu), then she left the country. Drs. knew something was up with the injuries, and suspected something, so they reported her to CPS. This was YEARS ago. The thing that Britney's family and attorneys DON'T want you to know is that there is continual evidence of physical abuse...esp on JJ in the last year. THAT is what they demanded to have sealed in court documents. Some people know though. JJ's shoulder and clavicle were severely damaged. Not sure if she did it while on drugs or just insane, but Britney did it.
X17
You said it so kind about Britney.
You are so ATTITIUDE.
M sure you know how GOLD this gurl are...
Love :)
She should stick with the conservatorship until she gets 50/50 custody and then wait until the next trail to end the conservatorship.
Yeah,, but what if she can't do custody under the conservatorship? Legally, she can't do anything on her own and someone is watching her.
why does everything have to be able racism with you dumb assholes. Al Queda Turtle? what the hell does him drugging britney have to do with Al Queda? Shut the fuck up .
well when a girl needs her hand held constantly while walking in public,
and needs help :
1. knowing how to dress appropriately to go out in public,
2. what time to go to bed and get up in the morning,
3. what and when to eat,
4. knowing how to state her legal name for a court appearance
5. putting on panties
5. staying clothed in public
6. knowing that she should bathe and wash her hair
Yeah I would say she is still quite mentally disabled.
she deserves to have her kids back,she had some issues and that doesn't make her a bad mom,she's through with it now,she needs to have her kids back,she's the best,leave her alone
so it takes 4 paid professionals plus daddy for Britney to see her kids. Wow.
Britney has been in trouble for a long time. Whether it's mental illness or just plain spoiledness, (and probably some of both) you can look back to 55 hour husband and track it from there. She went completely wild after she got out from under Mama Spears---which leads me to believe that they have known there was a problem with Britney for a long time.
I don't think this showed up out of nowhere. I'll bet if we knew the inside scoop, this girl has been having problems for years.
I do feel sorry for her family. Having someone like this in your family is really tough. You love them, but they are very disruptive and often quite ungrateful for the help you try to give them.
She's lucky her family hasn't just said fuck you. She certainly gave them the finger many many times. I hope she gets to a point that she recognizes that she is very lucky to have her family standing beside her.
BUT I don't care how frigging mentally ill she is, she can take her meds and learn some manners. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that you should wear clothes in public, take meds, and be nice to the people who are trying to help you.
Personally I think she will melt down again as soon as daddy leaves, because her problem isn't just mental illness. She's also spoiled.
Meme, so well said and so completely true. I just wonder why people can't, or won't, or don't see this? It actually scares me to a bit! People just don't seem to care about being responsible about anything but their own interests anymore?
"Getting a few extra hours a week with your own babies, but with paid professionals watching your every move, is not something to be proud of."
Unfortunately, the Britards think otherwise. Because they're as stupid as their washed-up hero.
The ONLY thing holding her together is her father having the conservatorship. If that goes, there is an extremely good chance that she will stop taking her meds & end up in the same situation as before. Now, if you think that everyone's being "unfair" to Britney then you are FOOLS. This is the best thing that could have happened to her!!! She is mentally ill. She is LUCKY to have the family that she does. She is LUCKY that they stepped in when they did & that she still has ANY money left and some visitation with her children (who are the real victims in this whole thing).
X17 should stop pretending to give two shits about her & her health & welfare when they are #2 on the list on folks who were exploiting her when she was at her lowest. Lufti would be #1. They'd probably love it if she spiraled out of control again because the pics that they get nowadays are few & far between and not worth much money. Who prints pics of her bleeding through her clothes?? Only the lowest of the low people, that's who.
"Hey Genius, explain how she suppose to spend more time with the kids when she not authorized by the court to do so?"
Hey Genius, she's a terrible mother! THAT is why she's not allowed to be around them all the time! What the fuck is wrong with you dumbass Britards? You're all a bunch of fucking morons!
I cant wait to see where those kids end up by 2010 when they have to attend school mon-friday. Maybe britney will try to keep it a media circus with paps IF she gets them back at least 50/50 custody. Just 2 years to see how sean will go to school daily with all this visitation crap and driving one of the parents will have to do to get them to school everyday.
Why does she have a look of a ZOMBIE FREAK in her eyes in this pic?
Her parents did not give a DAM untill they found out she was blowing all the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Then they stepped in and it might just be to late. They are doing the right thing now, but I think only for selfish reasons.
dad:
You're an idiot. Stop talking and making yourself look worse.
One of the biggest problems with the Britars is that they refuse to hold their idol responsible for her actions. It's always someone elses fault in their small minds. They refuse to h old Twitney accountable for her actions. I hope they never have children of their own.
Living with girl like Britney is kind of living on the edge of heaven and hell. I was maried to such a girl.
I know what heaven is ...
what hell...
It was however priceless to experience heaven , whatever.

So, big question. As much as this family loves the media, I find it very interesting that there have been no interviews about this, nothing from Britney, or Mama, or Daddy. that's another indication that the problem is probably deeper than they want to admit.
I don't really quite understand this. A well conducted interview with Britney would go a long way to rehabilitating her image. People are very sympathetic to someone who has had hard times and is trying to get better. So why no interview?
She can obviously function well enough to be on a TV show. So why not an interivew.
So,,,,my conclusion---Britney is still not completely convinced she has a problem and is not actively cooperating with her treatment. She's doing it because she has to, but she isn't convinced that she has a real problem or that she needs to do anything to rehabilitiate her image.
Or.........she still cannot string two sentences together unless they're scripted.
Either way, I think there's more of a problem there than anyone wants to admit.
Meme,
Too bad all the Britards are convinced there isn't a problem. It's always the fault of others. To Britards, Twitney is a perfect little angel, completely devoid of a single character flaw. It's the paps, K-Fed, her parents, Lutfi, Adnan, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Peter Pan, Amy Winehouse, Jessica Simpson, Tom Cruise......it's all THEIR fault.

If this is a childrens website what are you doing here? I am 49 and I come here all the time. I understand mental illness and human behavior given I teach psychology, work with victims of domestic violence on a daily basis and have a masters degree in it. Why do you attack all the time? You curse, you argue and you do not want to hear anyone else's opinion. Do you own this site or are you just being selfish like you call others. When you attack others do you feel better about yourself? Do you try to make yourself feel better by doing a beat down on others? Blogging can be very therapeutic but in order for that to work you have to be honest with yourself. Before you attack anyone else ask yourself, do I love me? If you tell yourself yes, then you either are not being honest or you are just as self absorbed as you think all us old Britards are. If you say no I am uncertain then you may have had a breakthrough. You would not need to trash anyone else's life if you have a healthy mind. You may be feeding a superiority complex. Try taking a step back and really focusing on who you are. You might be surprised that you aren't the lovely person you should and could be. Good luck.
"You may be feeding a superiority complex"
I'm not the poster at 6"42 that you were responding to.....but I think you should take a look at what you said about a superiority complex.....because you're not only feeding YOURS, you've eaten the whole thing. The egos of some people just astound me.

You are being extreme and overly dramatic for effect. Most people that talk about Britney that are fans do so out of concern for her and her well being and that of her children. You that are so busy being negative are the ones who say she is not flawed. Her true fans want the best for her and her children even if means that she can have her children for now. You are now judging her based on the fact that she and her family are not giving interviews. Maybe you would like to see her in an interview. Maybe you are a fan who thinks that she owes you her health and well being.Sounds like you are disappointed in her. I do not believe that she is anyone's idol, we just hope the best for her. You that hate seem to be the ones that are worshipping her because you are more interested in the who's, how's, why's and when's than her fans. Fan's just want her healthy and love her unconditionally. That is healthy love. Just as you should love any human being that you care about. Us Britards feel pain for her and her family and want her to be healed. We do not want her to be a performer if it puts her at risk. You haters seem to be wanting her to perform much more than her fans do. Can you wrap your mind around any of this? I hope you can and you realize that you may be the obsessed one.

"The egos of some people just astound me."
Good healthy anger. But attacking me will not make you better. Attacking Britney Spears will not make you better either or Sunnyday or anyone else. YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON TO YOU. BELIEVE IT, LIVE IT. IF YOU HATE YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THE WONDERFUL PART OF YOU AND IF ALL YOU SHOW IS THE UGLY NOBODY WILL WANT YOU IN THEIR LIVES. LOVE IS MUCH EASIER THAN HATE! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
Wow, 10:58: You sound so enlightened! I'm happy you could take time out of your busy day to tell us all how we feel! Do you love anyone else as much as you love yourself? Egotism is not an endearing trait, babe.
oh my! oh god! oh shit1

X17 isn't going to be around much longer.
Brandy/Brandi/Bitch has given her employees free hand to get "so creative" with their posts, imp'ing each other, arguing with each other, insulting each other, just to keep the hits on X17.
Now the site is panicking, posting old pictures of Britney, posting lies, the more they show the old pics and put a new thread on it, their own employees are the first to post, "Looking good Brit", "Am I first" - four posts later one of their jackals has to jump in, "I hate the fugly, pregnant broad!
I'm bi-babe, drunk, my ass smells", etc - man X17 is hurting for hits to allow this crazy nonsense to go on.
X17 SUCKS AND ALL THEIR IDIOTIC, WANNA BE JOURNALIST DROP OUT EMPLOYEES, WILL BE IN THE "SOUP LINE" BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
