Spears gives up kids after standoff

LOS ANGELES - The troubled life of Britney Spears added a new chapter when the intoxicated pop star was whisked away in an ambulance after police were called to her house to help end a nearly three-hour custody standoff involving her young sons.

The 26-year-old pop star was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Entertainment Tonight reported on its Web site Friday. Cedars spokeswoman Simi Singer said she could neither confirm nor deny the report, citing patient confidentiality laws.

Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department told City News Service that Spears appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance. He declined to elaborate. No injuries were reported.

Spears was conscious late Thursday when paramedics took her out of her home in a gurney. Several police cars escorted the ambulance out of the neighborhood, followed by dozens of paparazzi.

Officers were called to Spears? house around 8 p.m. to respond to the custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline over their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, Lee said.

By about 10:30 p.m., six police cars, two ambulances and a fire truck had entered the gated-community that includes Spears? house. Several police cars were seen in the area earlier in the night.

Spears turned over the children around 10:50 p.m., Lee said.

Calls to the Police Department?s media line early Friday were not answered.

Spears and Federline have been involved in a long and very public custody battle. Federline has temporary custody of the children because Spears, who has limited visitation rights, has defied court orders. The two were married in October 2004 and divorced in July.

Spears has appeared increasingly out of control during the past year. She has been photographed without underwear and appeared to be drunk and out-of-control. She shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella and spent a month in rehab and has had a handful of fender benders, including one in which she ran over a photographer?s foot.

Earlier Thursday, Spears appeared for a deposition in her custody dispute.

Spears was deposed for just 14 minutes, Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told reporters after Spears left.

Spears called in sick for a Dec. 12 court-ordered deposition, but was photographed that day driving with a friend. She also didn?t show up for a session Wednesday, Kaplan said.

Spears? attorneys from the firm Trope and Trope on Wednesday filed a court motion asking to be relieved due to a ?breakdown? in communication with their client.

Kaplan said Spears? attorneys were present for what became a very abbreviated session, which had been scheduled to last two hours.

?You can imagine in 14 minutes there?s not a lot of time to develop questions,? he said.

Kaplan said another deposition would be scheduled.

As much as I don't really give one shit about her and her dumbass fall into obscurity, they really really really need to help her and get her out of LA for one, or she's going to end up killing herself.  That's the only way I see this panning out right now.

[Jaci_Roxx]

I just feel sorry for her kids.  1 and 2 year olds are able to feel and understand things that happen around them. But not enough to understand why their mommy is acting so strange. Maybe mommy doesn't even know that herself... she should find it out before it's too late

[gilld1]

Too bad she left in an ambulance and not a hearse.

Who would have ever thought that KFed was the level headed one?

Well aren't you special. What did she ever do to you, for you to wish death on someone?

[crazycheryl]

The girl is definitely whacked. She does need help but must be willing to except it. It seems people have tried to get her help but she is so stubborn insisting she doesn't have any problems and doesn't need anything. So, I guess she has to fall further to get the help she needs. Hopefully, this will be rock bottom for her...

I don't feel sorry for her because after so many people tell you to get help, as an adult, it's your own responsibility to think maybe they are right if all these people are saying something and I should get help. Even do it on your own terms but get help.

Also, the thing that pissed me about this story is the fact that the kids are freakin up at 10 or 11 at night and probably didn't go to sleep until like 1 or 2 in the morning with all that was going on. And the little one was taken to the hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? They said no one was harmed but why did they take the little boy - did they notice signs of abuse? Do they think he was given whatever drug she was on? Could he have ingested it accidentally and she was afraid to send the kid back because he was high. Did she lock herself and the little one in the room because he was high and she was scared something would happen to him instead of taking him to the hospital to have his system pumped?

I think she has finally dug her grave with the legal system and this is going to be a bigger story then what we are getting right now.

And supposedly the court appointed monitor called the cops. Well, if the cops could tell she was on something, why couldn't this stupid monitor? Aren't they trained to watch for signs of drug use and report it? She has to have seen Britany messed up around her kids before. Someone is not doing their job here and I blame the damn courts just as much because no regular person would be allowed to do the bullshit she has done. No regular person. The court would have taken away the kids a long time ago if this was just a regular person.

I'm a parent and that's why it this story pisses me off. Too young to have kids and goes and decides it should be fun. Well, it ain't no picnic honey and you better be ready to take on the biggest job of your life. The biggest!

[Bandita]

This is just really sad at this point.  How many years of therapy are these kids going to need after this?

[fuckin crazy]

 A lot people come from disfuctional families and end up just fine. I hope for her kids.

[Bandita]

Yea but most of them don't have the parents antics blasted all over the news.  They aren't old enough to get it now but some day they will be.  I hope she gets herself together before then.

[Jaci_Roxx]

Too young to have kids and goes and decides it should be fun.

Well I disagree with you on that one. She's not too young to have kids, just too irresponsible to maybe EVER have kids! I know a girl who's way more responsible and mature than her and she gave birth to their first baby when she was under 18.

...sorry, ya lost me there.  Having a baby under 18 and "responsible and mature" seems pretty oxymoronic to me...just sayin'.

[norway]

Belive all you read, the media never lies or blow things out of proportion you self rightegous bastards

I don't care much about Britney, but I do know certain "journalism" when I see it...and the people who belives blindly in the media

[Axl4Prez2004]

^ so ya think she's a good mom? 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I feel bad that one day, her kids are going to go on Google and type in their mom's name.

That's gonna be a bummer.

[GNRreunioneventually]

[norway]

^ so ya think she's a good mom??

I have no idea so why the fuck should I comment on that and it's not even my buisness...
The media wan't to give me an impression she isn't, right?

Idealy, a lot of people shouldn't have kids...those who belive blindly and are shortminded are among those.

[fuckin crazy]

Humans have evolved a mechanism for reproduction in the early teen years for a reason. It is society that has determined that it is inappropriate.

Until relatively recently, people were married and having families in their teens.


EDIT: I think I heard on the news tonight that she has lost all visitation.

[Jessica]

For people saying she was onto something, the hospital ran checks for almost everything and she had NOTHING in her blood.

She is just having a breakdown, some can be very long, i mean, put yourself in her shoes :

She freaks out like many on hollywood ( although, many don't know what she lives because the razzzis and the medias were not as it is today when they still interested the press) because she is always pursued, she ran against all odds and married KFED and had two babies in a row.
KFED obviously used her, she lost all the good people around her in the proccess, friends included, and was left abandonned by herhusband with one baby and a toddler.

She was probably washed out tired due to two pregnancies in a row, depressed over her marriage fall out, even more depressed to be alone and alone with two small kids ( yes, the first two years of motherhood are known to be the worst and most isolating in a woman's life), depressed to be overweight when her whole career was image based, depressed to be laughed at, depressed everyone had been right about KFED, ect ect.

And then, he goes onto taking from her the only thing that was still human in her life :

Her kids.

PS : You have no idea how many mothers, even the ones who scream how blooming fantastic they are, are actually witches during their childrens early years.
No one knows, because mothers are usually alone with kids within the homes.
But most mothers are not under any form of scrutiny, so no one will ever know and the kids will not remember either.


PSS : what britney needs is to be totally cut off from SillyWood, from people who mean her harm ( almost everyone in her actual life), she needs to go back to basics, how to read and write, she needs to read a lot, get some proper schooling to become an interesting person for what she KNOWS and who she IS, rather than what she projects.
She needs to be confident and to achieve this, she needs to become a young woman with knowledge rather than shaking her ass and sing teenie's lullabies.
She needs to understand a lot and her upbringing didn't allow it because her own parents were undereducated.
She has to feel confident, and i firmly believe she will be confident about herself once she feels she has more than just her body.
So she HAS to devellop her brain and she is still young enough to do it.

But she needs the proper people around her, like one will say not if she says " you're fired" one who will reply " i'm not, just shut it and do your homework!!".

She needs a form of parental guidance, a life coach if you prefer, someone who will stand up to her, lock her up, and act as an adult for someone who is stuck in adolescence. Someone who will tell her she won't go out unless she did her homework, someone who will tell her that she can't go out dressed like a street prostitute, someone who will tell her that she will have no TV or Ciggies if she brings unwanted or uninvited friends over, ect ect...

[Jessica]

PSS :

she did not want to hand the kids over because one arrived at her home BRUISED.

KFED obviously used her, she lost all the good people around her in the proccess, friends included, and was left abandonned by herhusband with one baby and a toddler.

She chose to be inseminated.

 

She was probably washed out tired due to two pregnancies in a row, depressed over her marriage fall out, even more depressed to be alone and alone with two small kids ( yes, the first two years of motherhood are known to be the worst and most isolating in a woman's life), depressed to be overweight when her whole career was image based, depressed to be laughed at, depressed everyone had been right about KFED, ect ect.

on a tv it may have looked like "overweight," but honestly, she wasn't overweight in my eyes.  Overweight for her ridiculous slut-gear, but as a normal chick wearing jeans she wouldn't be bad.  She has incredibly poor judgement and low intelligence.  It's not a good combination. 

And then, he goes onto taking from her the only thing that was still human in her life :

Unfit mothers have a tendency to have their children taken away.  In the United States, if you are the mother, and you lose custody, and now visiting rights...you are one fucked up unfit mother.  The system is biased in favor of the mother, which on average may be a good thing because there usually is a special motherly bond...but in this case, Britney should not be viewed as the victim.  Her children are victims with her in their life.

Her kids.

PS : You have no idea how many mothers, even the ones who scream how blooming fantastic they are, are actually witches during their childrens early years.

Ones who scream period usually aren't very good.    Those who actually have time to "brag" about their parenting usually aren't very good either.  Also, eventually it comes out.  Children are sponges.  Abuse and/or neglect along with environments without consistent and loving boundaries, and no routines make for less than ideal kids, which makes for less than ideal adults prone to the same fucked up behavior as Miss Douchebag Spears.

No one knows, because mothers are usually alone with kids within the homes.
But most mothers are not under any form of scrutiny, so no one will ever know and the kids will not remember either.


PSS : what britney needs is to be totally cut off from SillyWood, from people who mean her harm ( almost everyone in her actual life),

I'll agree with that...but she does need somebody with her 24/7 or she will pull a Kurt Cobain.  No shotgun, but pills a plenty. 

she needs to go back to basics, how to read and write, she needs to read a lot, get some proper schooling to become an interesting person for what she KNOWS and who she IS, rather than what she projects.

She needed that, oh, maybe as a child and teenager instead of selling hot lookin ass in the music business?

 

She needs to be confident and to achieve this, she needs to become a young woman with knowledge rather than shaking her ass and sing teenie's lullabies.

it's tough teaching an old dog new tricks.

She needs to understand a lot and her upbringing didn't allow it because her own parents were undereducated.
She has to feel confident, and i firmly believe she will be confident about herself once she feels she has more than just her body.
So she HAS to devellop her brain and she is still young enough to do it.

Someone who will tell her she won't go out unless she did her homework, someone who will tell her that she can't go out dressed like a street prostitute, someone who will tell her that she will have no TV or Ciggies if she brings unwanted or uninvited friends over, ect ect...

The last 3 paragraphs are true...but it isn't going to happen.  She'll slowly piss away all her money, do an occasional show or interview for cash, and continue to be the unfit mother she has proven herself to be unfortunately.
