I found this information on Sympatico/MSN in regards to Britney..
LOS ANGELES - Lawyers for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were in court Friday for a closed-door meeting in the former couple's child-custody battle, after the pop star was hospitalized in a bizarre incident that brought police and paramedics to her home.
Tara Scott, representing Spears, and Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan spent about 30 minutes in chambers with court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who has been handling the custody case. They made no comments to reporters afterward.
A court hearing was scheduled for later Friday.
Kaplan said through his publicist, Michael Sands, that it would be "inappropriate for him to speak to the media . . . because of what's happened last night, because of the serious nature of what we've all read about."
Sands said Kaplan had been at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after Spears was admitted Thursday, but he declined to provide any details about the 26-year-old pop star, Federline or their two young sons.
"Just say prayers," Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, told celebrity news show "Access Hollywood" by phone Friday.
Spears was taken from her home on a gurney late Thursday after police were summoned because she wouldn't turn over her sons to Federline.
With paparazzi swarming the ambulance doors, Spears was whisked away, nearly three hours after police first arrived at her home in a gated community.
"For her own welfare, she was transferred to a local hospital for medical treatment," police officer April Harding said, declining to elaborate. No injuries were reported.
Police initially said it appeared that Spears was under the influence of an unknown substance but Harding said Friday she could not confirm that or other reports that Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation.
Spears was conscious as the ambulance left her home escorted by a row of police cars. A horde of paparazzi chased the ambulance, their strobes going off as they held their cameras up to the vehicle's rear window.
Another group of videographers met the ambulance at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, banging on the ambulance doors.
Cedars spokeswoman Simi Singer said she could neither confirm nor deny that Spears was at the hospital, citing patient confidentiality laws.
Officers were called to Spears' house around 8 p.m. Thursday for an issue involving the custody of her sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James, Harding said.
By about 10:30 p.m., six police cars, two ambulances and a firetruck had entered the gated community, where Spears has a $4.5 million, five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in the Santa Monica Mountains above Beverly Hills.
Several police cars were seen in the area earlier in the night.
Spears turned over the children around 10:50 p.m., Officer Jason Lee said.
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' life has spiralled downward during the past year. She has been photographed without underwear and appeared to be drunk and out-of-control in public. She shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella, 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 questioned for just 14 minutes, 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.

I really can't feel sympathetic for her... but it's about time she goes to the hospital.
Maybe this is a wake-up call to the people around her. She seems like she's soon on her way to suicide or something.
The people around her are more f*cked in the head than she is.

She really needs to go to rehab and/or the mental hospital, this has gone on way too long already.
I'm glad something has happened so she maybe can get medical treatment, without something disastrous happening. I was afraid she was going to kill herself by suicide, or kill someone or herself in her car with her driving. She seems like she is truly having mental issues, I have had an emotional breakdown myself (not to this extent, but I had to go on medication and didnt eat for months). I hope she can recover. The fact that she was laughing the whole way to the hospital, and having to be strapped down, tells me it isnt the fact that she isnt taking it seriously, but she is not there mentally, and cant make the right decisions, especially when it comes to her precious boys

im kind of disappointed strangely enough. i was hoping she was drunk! But apparently she's just insane. like clinically insane, you can see in her eyes she's completely gone and just this broken, empty shell of a woman. i was hoping it was drink/drugs but apparently its just who she is now.

I've merged the two threads so we can just keep this in one revolving thread.
Well, she lost them!
Quote:
LOS ANGELES - A court commissioner gave sole physical and legal custody of Britney Spears' two little boys Friday to ex-husband Kevin Federline and suspended the troubled pop star's visitation rights.
Spears was hauled away from her home to a hospital by paramedics a day before, after police had to intervene when she refused to return the children to Federline after a court-monitored visit.
Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered another hearing to be held Jan. 14.
Federline had previously been awarded temporary custody of 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James because Spears has defied court orders, resulting in limitations on her visitation.
"I'm not happy about any of these events," Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said when he left a closed-door emergency hearing Friday afternoon. "There's no winners here."
Federline was not in court for the hearing, Kaplan said.
The attorney had said he did not expect the ruling to be released until Monday, but it was issued shortly after the hearing concluded.
Law professor Steve Cron, who is not involved in the Spears-Federline matter, predicted that Spears will face sanctions from the court for her behavior.
"My guess is that she won't be seeing her kids for a while," said Cron, who teaches at Pepperdine University in Malibu.
Gordon has little option other than to further reduce the time Spears can legally spend with her children, Cron said, "at least for the time being until she gets some help. She's obviously a very troubled person."
The 26-year-old pop star remained hospitalized Friday.
Her latest troubles began around 8 p.m. Thursday when officers were called to her home to help resolve a dispute over her refusal to turn the children over to Federline, as dictated by their custody agreement.
It took two to three hours to resolve the conflict, said Officer Ana Aguirre.
"There was a time where she was within the residence and wasn't available to be speaking to the officers, apparently," she said. "There was no threat to the children."
"Police resolved the conflict," Aguirre said. "Both children were turned over to her ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody, and she was in fact taken to a local hospital for medical treatment."
Early police reports said officers thought Spears might have been under the influence of some substance, but Aguirre said there was no evidence of that.
"Our understanding is that was not the case," she said.
Officers at the scene determined that paramedics "needed to be called" but it was unclear why, she said.
"We're not aware of any type of injuries that she sustained" and she was not combative with authorities, Aguirre said.
Spears wasn't arrested in connection with the custody dispute, Aguirre said.
"There was no actual crime that was involved," the police spokeswoman said.
Spears and Federline were married in October 2004. Her life has spiraled downward since their divorce in July. She has been photographed without underwear and appeared to be drunk and out of control in public. She shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella and spent a month in rehab.
She had hoped to regain her pop crown with a much-hyped performance at MTV's Video Music Awards in September, but it was universally panned by fans and critics.
Still, Spears' latest album, "Blackout," earned positive reviews when it was released in October and brought Spears her first No. 1 hit in years, "Gimme More."
However, Spears remains a paparazzi target for her bizarre antics, which include frequent stops at gas-station bathrooms and holing up in a hotel room with a paparazzo.
Her 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn, made headlines last month when she announced that she is pregnant.

I hope she gets better. I was kind of sickened watching the video of the ambulance arriving at the hospital & the way people were crowding around the ambulance & trying to grab pictures and stuff. The poor girl has hit rock bottom...enough is enough...

Sorry for being cruel, but she deserves a bit of hell to get back on feet. One need to get kicked to start walking narrow again. In such situation, there is no other way. My friend was drug addict. And only after reaching the bottom she got up. Lucky for her she wasn't public persona.

I just cant believe that fire ambulance and helicopter was there! If this were anyone else...it would be one or two police cars..period.Why didnt they involve the swat team too? That is primarily their job...getting people out so they can be arrested.

Her breakdown isnt what shocks me, what shocks me is her cd doing so well and her perfume adds and stuff in the media with her looking all thin with blonde flowing hair, and like the "old" britney. it's such a different side of her, a side of her that doesnt even exist anymore...yet it continues to live on. why???
it's not like she even had a right mind to create that cd - you know everyone did it for her. same with the perfume, etc. theyre just basically making her sing it, enhancing it all too hell, and putting her name on it.
