Britney Spears Rushed to the Hospital After Police Standoff

Friday January 4, 2008
Britney Spears was rushed to the hospital last night after an altercation with local police. For some reason, Britney, 26, refused to hand her two sons over to Kevin Federline's bodyguard and cops were called to the scene. Police reports state that the singer was found to be under the influence of an "unknown substance."

In addition to Britney's lawyers, Kevin eventually made an appearance (legal team on hand) and the circus fiasco lasted nearly four hours. Where was Britney's mother Lynne Spears when all of this chaos was going down?

The kids are currently in K-Fed's care while their trainwreck of a mother dries out in the hospital. At least this will give them the chance to give her that much needed and very overdue psychological evaluation.

I feel sorry for Brittany, hasn’t anyone ever heard of post partum depression or other medical/physiological problems induced by pregnancy and stress!

Just because she’s a celebrity it doesn’t mean she exempt from being a human being!!!

I feel very sorry for her Britney. There seems to be no one including the “mother” who has a clue on how to raise children, nor how to sit them down and give them the time of day to let them know they need to stop, think and listen to what others are trying to tell her. Brittany must feel her world is out of her control, but no one is giving her the good advice on how to get back into it again. She’s hurting, and while I feel she must be held accountable for what she is doing, especially to her children, she needs to be told that “she” and only she, with help can turn her life around before “she looses everything”. There is always hope, even with a mother like she has. She’s not the first person that has gotten messed up with drugs and/or alcohol, but she’s got to “want” something better for herself before she can get better. She needs 24/7 help and counseling. I hope someone can talk her into it. Her children should be her motivation. Let’s hope they are enough!

Its hard to feel sorry for an adult. That’s what she is. She’s a grown divorce mother of 2. All the mistakes she’s making, she’s doing them willingly. Cant blame mom now, because as a teen, she came across as ok. It wasnt until she turned of aged that she began acting up. I dont believe she’s suffering from anything other than “The Brat Syndrome”. thats it. She’s not crying out for help. She’s making a fool out of herself and destroying those innocent kids in the process. Her own lawyers are fed up with her. They were busting their chops trying to help her and she went against everything that was meant to help her. She has to wake up and decide that she wants better for herself and kids. Until, there’s nothing that anyone can say or do that’s going to help her.

Let’s hope that she will get the help she needs now. It’s obvious she is in deep trouble and will need a lot of therapy to get well.

Britney, I’m going to pray for you that god gives you strength an your mind back. I feel your pain and you feel like world is falling apart. but god is testing faith. God wants you to worship him not material things and money. God has not forgotten you and he’s always going to love you when other’s won’t.

I will also be praying for you- I pray that only the Holy Spirit would be your influence right now, and you would know that you are not alone. There’s a way to come out of this and is ONLY possible with Jesus. He doesn’t care what we’ve done, how many times, etc..I plee Jesus’ blood over your family, body, and situation. In Jesus name-amen

I think if people would stop excusing her immature behavior and feeling sorry for the poor rich girl maybe she would grow up. People should feel sorry for the kids who have to live with the shame of having he as a mother. Being famous doesnt give somebody the right to neglect or endanger their kids. She belongs in jail in a cell with Paris Hilton.
