Britney Spears Visitation Rights Suspended
Just when we thought it was safe from the BS, the Britenator strikes again.
According to the court docs from yesterday’s custody hearing, Britney’s visitation rights have been suspended temporarily until she complies full with the courts order. What order is that? The one that states she must be available and prepared to submit to random drug testing as stipulated by an earlier court order from LA County Commission Scott Gordon. You know, that guy Britney called an “old fart.” I bet the judge didn’t like being called an old fart, I know I sure wouldn’t. Although I am old.
Moving on….
TMZ reports the following in the never ending saga that is Britney’s life:
The order reads, “Petitioner’s (Britney’s) visitation with the minor children is suspended pending Petitioner’s compliance with the court orders.”
Brit’s next shot at getting the kids is October 26, when she’s been ordered back to court.
The order says, “The parenting coach is to submit a report to the court and counsel prior to October 26, 2007.”
UPDATE: We’ve learned Brit did not provide the drug testing people with contact information so they could reach her to facilitate the random tests, and that is what triggered Commish Gordon’s action.
Britney has a very funny way of showing how much she loves her kids. And when I say funny, I mean stupid.

LIKE WOAH.
I knew she couldn’t have been off the drugs. She is OBVIOUSLY hiding things. Wonder how long it’ll be before she’s on video saying how HAPPY she is to X17?

Oh lordy. This is better than a soap opera.
I think we’re getting a better picture of her attitude with all this coverage, and it isn’t very pretty. Her comments about the judge, her rudeness and snitty attitude I just saw on a TMZ video of her at yet another tanning salon today, all points to a very self-important celebrat who thinks she’s the center of the universe and all of it, judges included, should revolve around her. I’m sure she sees these little old drug tests as mere annoyances not worthy of her valuable time. She probably thinks it’ll all go away on its own if she ignores it, like “it” deserves. The only problem is, “it” happens to be a court of law.

Why does this stuff always have to happen when I am fixing supper???
Hi, my name is k, and I am a celebrity addict…

I think she’s headed for some sort of meltdown again. The pix they are showing of her as we type are so happy, happy. After seeing how testy she has been it’s tough to believe that she is “awesome” after all that has happened.
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 7:06 pm
they said on x17 that she went to dinner a block from kfed’s house….can you just hear the conversation between her and the assistant/sober companion (Insert appropriate expletives here)??? To be a fly on the wall.
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 7:14 pm
Yes, x17 is handy for moment-to-moment updates on her whereabouts, aren’t they. The pictures of her at the restaurant are just…yucky.
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall though, you’re right. I wish one of her former assistants would speak up so we can know “the woman behind the mystery” …lol…

Some people indulge in retail therapy.
Brit indulges in quesadilla therapy.
Comment by k — October 18, 2007 @ 8:46 pm
Aw, crap! X17 took off the Brit at the restaurant post!
I hope they put it back with new, updated stuff!
Comment by k — October 18, 2007 @ 8:56 pm
dum,dum, dummmmmmmmmmmm – why do you think that happened? WEIRD! I am telling you. She was out of it an considering something umbrellaesq~ hey, hey, hey!
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 9:24 pm
HA….that’s the same sound effect my kids and I use for a totally obvious point.
“Mom, I left the cup in the microwave for ten minutes and it melted!”
“Dun dun dunnnnnnn!”
Comment by k — October 18, 2007 @ 9:28 pm
OMG how weird, they did take it off. Now why in the world would they have done that? Unless Britney insisted that they not use photos of her in that unbelievably unflattering dress she was wearing. You think? ….Naw, that couldn’t be it!
Comment by Mitsu — October 18, 2007 @ 10:00 pm
I hate to wear shirts/dresses that have those boob slings in them, because they always always always ride up and then I just look stupid.
That’s probably what Brit thought. And she would have been right.
Comment by k — October 18, 2007 @ 10:10 pm
Oh yes indeed, that thing wasn’t made for her current shape (or vice versa). I can never wear those – I call them “built in breast bags” – because I’m small-chested and it just makes me look inadequate. Her, I think, it made look sub-adequate. As in, “my breasts have turned into submarines.”
Comment by Mitsu — October 18, 2007 @ 10:29 pm
I can’t believe this is happening! They want me to take random drug tests and have parenting sessions! Oh no, I have to stop using drugs!? I have to be given parenting pointers?! I am so upset! I can’t accept that this is happening! Doesn’t everyone do drugs every day and ignore their children? Why is this happening to poor me? I can’t believe this is happening to me!

Hee hee…I think “celebubrat” works better than “celebrat” as I wrote above. I saw on another website someone called her a “pop-tard.”
Well it’s just so easy to bash on someone who doesn’t do anything to help herself rise above the trailer she sprang from, you know? I mean, if she wanted to by now she could have gotten an education, learned something about taste, fashion, hygiene…oh hell, maybe that’s expecting too much

again – mental illness is a disease. Not everyone is in the position to help themselves. Sometime people need intervention.
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 10:38 pm
You know it seems like this is a run away train that no one has control of. At one point it was shiny, new, successful – and on time….then it built up speed and is ready to crash into a group of innocent bystanders@
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 10:40 pm
Ebayer, now you’ve gone and spoiled my fun. >:(
Seriously though, for the sake of her children I hope it does get diagnosed as mental illness. At least then they can tell themselves it was the illness talking, not their “real” mom who didn’t really want them. How sad.
Comment by Mitsu — October 18, 2007 @ 10:42 pm
Sorry:( Don’t want to be the site buzz kill! I guess it’s just something close to my heart. She is the epitome of what you don’t want to do when you parent (before and after).
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 10:46 pm
You know, I truly believe that she is mentally ill (and by that I mean with something like bipolar disorder), but I also believe that some of this stuff she does on purpose. She told one of her friends who tried to get her to stop going out sans undies that she just does not like underwear. Yet I’m sure she knows that people make fun of her for it.
I also read that another time she, Paris, and Lindsay used to sit around and brainstorm ways of making people talk about them, like doing some crazy thing or wearing an odd outfit. She also has admitted that she has dressed up just to play with people’s heads, to get them talking. While I do believe that she is mentally ill, I don’t think all of her actions can be ascribed to mental illness.
Comment by k — October 18, 2007 @ 10:56 pm
You know, it is serious. I had a mom who never really “grew up,” and by many people’s standards she might have even been considered neglectful. There was a lot of chaos and heartbreak in my childhood. But I always knew she wanted me, loved me, and wanted me around. To think of those little kids, ANY little kids, not having that sense of reassurance is truly awful.
The thing about Britney, though, is that she’s demonstrated herself to be a real jerk. She acts like a little baby girl but then turns around and is arrogant and obnoxious, and she has the most godawful taste in clothes I’ve ever seen. Not to mention that she acts like she’s the center of the universe. Those things are not the result of mental illness, and are easy to mock her for.

You know, it’s a very fine line between growing up and maturing. I had a childhood where I was forced to grow up very early very fast, to deal with a mom who was simply incapable of so many things, so I didn’t have a lot of a childhood. I felt for years, as an adult, that I needed to both act and look the part…no laughing, no cutting up, no having fun. I had to dress fuddy-duddy, in the typical “mom” gear. I had to drive a minivan and act the part.
It wasn’t until maybe five years ago that I realized that wasn’t me…I was just playing a part. The real me wanted to have fun, enjoy myself, wear flared jeans, crank up the car stereo, wear glittery eye shadow, and have fun with myself. Stop taking myself so seriously. And I think my kids have benefited from that. We have a lot of fun together. I no longer take myself so seriously that I forget to have fun with my kids. Maybe I’m doing some of the things I never got to do as a teenager.
But, there is a line….I am still mom. They know it and respect that. They know when they’ve crossed the line. I do my best to pay my bills on time, to make sure everyone has decent meals, to be quiet when I need to be, to carry on an adult conversation, to be a good example to my kids, to have a schedule for them, to act like an adult. I can have fun, but there’s still a maturity there that kicks in when need be.
I really think that is what Brit is lacking….she’s grown up, but she’s not mature. She wants reactions, she wants to shock, she wants to titillate, but she doesn’t want to mature. That’s why she’s still putting out pop stuff at age 25, instead of trying to find music that fits…she’s still trying to squeeze into music that’s too small for her.
Yes…I think she’s mentally ill. but I also think she’s a selfish brat. The two are not necessarily connected.

guess we may agree to disagree on this point – I think mental illness is defined when people do not see things the same way as you and I do. Seriously go to a shrink and tell them you think you are crazy…..”crazies” don’t seek help in that manner. Most people (mothers especially) know the fundamental difference between right and wrong – whether that be heart felt or superficial. This chick stands proud in her decisions. She seems like she has multiple personalities. No matter what anyone says on the web I steadfastly believe that she has MAJOR problems (and not just the obvious).
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 11:29 pm
btw K – I hope you are having a good time – it sounds like you are! It’s never too late to be young:) I know what you mean. Not everyone gets to be a kid.
Comment by ebayer — October 18, 2007 @ 11:32 pm
Well, I don’t disagree with you. And I’m sure that some of what she does is done because she doesn’t “see” things like a “normal” person would.
I’ve said before that I struggle with OCD, and I don’t always “see” things like someone without OCD might. For example…I don’t like to drink after someone, even my kids. The thought makes my skin crawl. My gag reflex kicks in. Intellectually, I know that kissing my kids and taking a drink after them is basically the same thing, but the OCD part of my brain freaks out. It “sees” it as wrong.
And some of what Brit does, I think is the same thing. She “sees” things not like you or I. She “sees” some of her decisions as being perfectly rational when in fact they are totally irrational. Very true. But I can’t say that every decision is based on that. To say that every single decision she makes is based on mental illness is to take away some of her personal responsibility in these matters.
But it’s hard to see where the line is. Only a pro can determine that. Who am I? I’m just sitting here in a cornfield making educated guesses.

I am having fun. More fun than I did when I was a teenager, that’s for sure.
I have said before that I may grow old but I’ll never grow up. 
And I get to sit here at my computer and type about people all day….what could be better?
Comment by k — October 18, 2007 @ 11:44 pm
K, it sounds like you and I had a similar experience in some respects. I had to grow up too fast as well. I was a very serious and responsible kid and a very concerned young adult until I was about 25 or so. Then I realized I could lighten up and play a little! I realized it was far less important for me to be “grown up” (or at least to appear that way anyhow) than it was for me to enjoy myself and take some risks with my appearance and the things I did. Now that I have a responsible job and my credit to worry about, employees to manage, all that, I’m afraid I’ve grown back up again. It may be time for another readjustment.
Comment by Mitsu — October 18, 2007 @ 11:52 pm
Britney suffers from two things, one I like to call celebrity delusion. This is when you become so used to people telling you what you want to hear and never what you need to hear. Then when someone comes around and says “hey, you aren’t thinking clearly, or acting correctly” the celeb can’t relate. It doesn’t compute that they might possibly be wrong, need help, an attitude adjustment or whatever. You see this especially in people who’ve grown up in the spotlight and less so in those who came into their fame AFTER they were adults.
That period of adolescence is really what helps to form you as an adult. Granted, people can overcome challenges from their youth and go on to become mature responsible adults, but if you are some how stunted during this time – only the strong of constitution and moral fiber will get it figured out. Like Drew Barrymore for example. She was a mess when she was young, but she’s also pretty smart and grounded.
Sadly, Britney’s second issue is she isn’t educated and is not terribly bright. I don’t think she’s stupid as much as ignorant. And ultimately, she’s really crippled by her insecurity and self-centeredness.

Oh, and Mitsu’s right, her taste in clothes….atrocious. Hey we all like to look nice and sometimes sexy, but her idea of what looks nice and what looks sexy is just WOW!. Incomprehensible.
BTW, Glosslip has the most intelligent regulars. All three of you.
Thanks be to k!
Comment by D — October 19, 2007 @ 7:46 am
I think everybody at X17 spontaneously combusted. Their site hasn’t been updated since they took off the Brit pics last night.
(oh, and thanks, D…I’s blushin’)
Comment by k — October 19, 2007 @ 8:10 am
Yes celeb delusion, lack of education and bratty behavior are all elements and I am in no way negating some sense of personal responsibility. But her deterioration is shocking!! I was never a fan but she used to be a cute, articulate semi-talented young woman. Now she is just lost. Reminds me so much of the Michael Jackson metamorphosis (actually you could see that one coming more than BS). Guess at the end of the day any one of these hypothesis could be right – only time will tell. It’s even possible that she is a marketing genius and the joke is truly on us….?? PS
I think that her style – or lack there of is part of the illness. I don’t think she realizes what the heck she looks like – how could she?? Most people would be humiliated to be seen in such a state.
