Britney Spears Update

Britney Spears out of the loonie bin

I know I’ve been lax in reporting the Britney Spears news, so sorry. So, even though you probably read it all elsewhere (That’s right, DMP, don’t think I know you’re not sneaking off the People.com website), I’ll give you the Reader’s Digest version here. She did more in less than 24 hours than I do in a month:

 

  • Britney was released from the UCLA Medical Center psych ward yesterday afternoon because she “wasn’t required to be there.” She left quietly through a back exit.
  • Britney’s doctors feel she doesn’t pose a danger to herself and thus, they can’t hold her against her will. Britney’s parents made the following statement:

“As parents of an adult child in the throws (sic) of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”

  • The conservatorship is still in effect and Britney’s parents will go to court today to try and keep in effect in order to give Britney some structure and keep certain elements out of her life.
  • Sam Lutfi hired Michael Sands, Kevin Federline’s attorney’s former media consultant.
  • Britney Spears and Adnan Ghalib met up at the Beverly Hills hotel and drove away to the offices of her maybe lawyer Adam Streisand.
  • Britney and Adnan went back to the Beverly Hills hotel and Jamie Spears wasn’t having it. He called the police, showed hotel reps some legal documents and chaos ensued. Eventually he was able to enter Britney’s room at the hotel. Thankfully he convinced her to return home.

 

Here’s the thing. Why do we know so much about all this? How is Britney supposed to get better when the paps are still swarming and we’re writing about every move she makes? The girl can’t sneeze without someone taking note. That can’t make it easy.

It’ll be interesting to see if Jamie can extend the conservatorship. Clearly he wants to be an active and important influence in her life and keep away the bad elements. Let’s hop the judge finds grounds.
