Is Britney Spears A Danger To Herself, Others, And Will She Finally Be Stripped Of Parental Custody?
As we reported earlier this week, Britney’s facing some serious issues in regards to her custody arrangements for her two children.
Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline took advantage of Britney’s infamous meltdown over a week ago, and asked for an emergency hearing to get full custody of his and Britney’s kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James while Britney was still in the hospital. The judge agreed with his request and gave him full, but temporary custody, until a hearing scheduled for Monday, January 14.
That’s just two days away. What has Britney done in the interim to prove she is capable of caring for her two young children?
Sadly, nothing good. In fact, it seems Britney has gone even further off the rails than she was BEFORE her all too brief hospital stay. Since her departure from Cedars last Saturday, Britney has been in almost constant company of her new boyfriend/opportunist Adnan Ghalib.
Britney and Adnan met up in Palm Springs on Sunday for a brief stay at a hotel, flew to Mexico Wednesday (after planting false reports she was heading to NYC) and stayed with Adnan until their return Thursday and has since been sighted all over LA oscillating between her new manager Osama “Sam” Lufti and Adnan. Neither of which, are the most morally upstanding people on the planet.
Adnan is a native of Afghanistan whose family moved to the UK in the late 70’s. According to the Daily Mail, he’s married, but separated from his wife, Azlynn Berry for the last year and made the bold prediction he would go from stalking Britney to bedding her. A prediction sadly, which has come true.
The most disturbing aspect of their relationship, besides Britney being mentally ill and his statement above, is the conflict of interest between him being a celeb photographer, and Britney being the world’s most hounded celeb. And fears of Adnan taking advantage of this relationship have already come to fruition, as reports have surfaced he and his agency Finalpixx, have attempted to sell sordid and tawdry pics of Britney for profit.
In spite of knowing this about Adnan, Britney continues to maintain a relationship with him and actively chooses to be in his company. One can only imagine the mental state a person has to be in to continue to stay in such an abusive and exploitive situation. Britney is clearly incapable of making rational and sane decisions about her life, and Adnan is a complete monster for taking advantage of this sick and unstable woman.
It is highly unlikely Britney will regain any sort of custody of her children in the wake of her hostage standoff with police during the hearing scheduled Monday. Especially since Kevin Federline was successful in getting a restraining order against Britney and her behavior is almost certainly going to work against her.
TMZ is reporting sources close to Britney are warning her she must show up for the emergency custody hearing tomorrow and answer questions related to the events which took place Jan.3 at her home. From TMZ’s article:
Sources tell us Brit’s lawyers know Commissioner Scott Gordon expects Britney to address a number of issues surrounding the craziness at her home a week ago Thursday. In particular, commissioner Gordon wants Brit to explain why she violated the custody order by not turning the kids over to K-Fed’s security guard at 7:00 that evening. The commissioner is also keenly interested in Britney’s behavior that caused her to be placed on a 5150 hold at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Britney’s lawyers know if she does not attend tomorrow’s hearing, the Commish almost certainly will extend the ban on visitation until the April trial.
The wild card, of course, is Britney herself. She hates appearing in court and it’s certainly possibly she’ll be a no show on Monday
Britney a wild card? That’s a gross understatement. Britney’s more like a enigma, wrapped in riddle, shrouded in a mystery. There is absolutely no way of predicting what she will do. I expect she won’t show, and if she does she will be on no use to herself or her case for custody. In reality, it will likely not matter if she shows.
Any decent judge will NOT grant her any sort of custody at this time and will likely impose some fairly strict rules about what she must do to regain even partial custody of her two sons. In turn, Britney will likely reject these rules, do something rash like try to see her kids against court orders, be picked up for the “5150″ hold her parents have threatened to use and have her committed against her will.
Or she will do the unthinkable and hurt herself in a way that will require immediate intervention — we can only pray that’s the end result — because we all know what we are afraid to say. Britney is on a fast track to Anna Nicoleville. And honestly that would be a truly terrible and horrific tragedy.
As of this posting, Britney is still maintaining a very tight relationship with a person who has nothing but nefarious intentions for her. In a perfect world, that would be enough cause for an intervention on her behalf, but we do not live in a perfect world and that’s too bad for Britney.

I’m maintaining an optimistic stance that perhaps, just possibly, Adnan isn’t in this to rip her off. In this little dream bubble of mine, he actually is smitten with her, cares about her, and wants to help her.
Wait, no, don’t say anything, I’m not listening, I can’t hear you, LaLaLaLaLa.
Further, I would like to believe that Adnan is actually good for Britney, because she’ll try to pull herself together if only to look good in front of him (honest to god sometimes a crush can be really good for borderline mental instability, not kidding), and that it’s a good thing for her to be involved with someone who at least has one foot in the “real world.”
Is this really, absolutely, completely impossible? He doesn’t seem to have sold her out so far, after all. Sure, Finalpixx seemed to be the only agency that got pics of them on their little retreat, but they weren’t terribly revealing, and we don’t know that she’s not cooperating with that anyway. She could have a kickback arrangement going with them. A certain other website certainly seems to be over their love affair with her, most likely because she has opted out of the exclusive arrangement she had with them. They certainly sound like a jealous, spurned lover, if you ask me.
As for the reports that she’s thinking of converting to Islam and running off to Pakistan with him, well, he’s obviously NOT a Muslim - what Muslim wears a cross around their neck? - and he’s originally from Afghanistan, not Pakistan. So this seems like typical UK tabloid fiction to me, just like the reports that she took a horse trailer full of meds the night of the breakdown.
I’m not worried about the wife, they don’t seem to have a “real” marriage in the sense that we like to think of marriages. She apparently has no say in his love life, it’s simply a marriage of convenience.
Clearly Adnan isn’t a bastion of virtue and clean living, but then neither is Britney. It’s not like she’s some unsullied farm girl whose purity might be impaired by consorting with a nefarious bad boy. I think she likes bad boys, anyway.
Further, I actually think that Britney’s mental illness is not as severe as some would have us think. I think she certainly has something going on, but it’s exacerbated by a selfish, narcissistic personality and she’s just never had anyone be able to tell her what to do and is in her own little power bubble. I actually think Britney is capable of making her own choices, as much as we all might disagree with them. This is a bit of a shift from my previous speculation that she could even be schizophrenic, but I have a good reason. There is a certain ex-bodyguard of hers that my sister is good friends with…I don’t want to identify him because I don’t want to get anybody in trouble (he was in the media and his name is known to the public at large). But my sister has known him well, for years. She got together with him about three months ago. He wouldn’t say much about Britney, said he wasn’t allowed to, but he did say a couple of things: that Kevin is a big asshole, and that Britney’s mental health, although unstable, is not nearly as bad as the media makes it out to be. She is largely the victim of disapproval over her choices, not out-and-out batshit crazy. So, there is the word from, if not the horse’s mouth, at least from the stable boy’s mouth.
Ultimately, as much as I dislike Britney, I am hoping this all turns out well or at least okay. I think there was some sympathy for her that got sparked in me by the Dr. Phil thing. It just seems so terrible that everybody in her life is out to capitalize on her. I’ve never liked her music, am not a fan in any sense of the word, but watching this drama play out is engrossing and fascinating, and I can’t help but take an interest.

I would love to know what goes on in Britney’s head.
I have read that she thinks people have taken advantage of her over the years, which makes me think she should be able to judge if and when it’s happening again.
Is she really unaware of Adnan’s true motives?
Or is he not the bad guy the press is making him out to be?
I think Britney is simply acting as any deeply sad person in a similar situation would. I know I would not cope too well living just one day in her shoes, the lack of privacy must be terrible.
Obviously it would be such a waste and very very sad if Britney ends up as Anna Nicole Smith did.
I truly hope she finds some genuine happiness within herself. She needs to be alone for a while, maybe then she can regain some form of custody of her two sons.
I am beginning to think that everything she has done recentlt is all about Kevin Federline, I think she wants him back. Once upon a time that would have seemed like a really bad move, now it would probably be the best thing to happen to Britney.
Funny how things change.

britney is just unbelievably selfish and is stunned when the world doesn’t kowtow to her. i’m not saying she doesn’t have mental issues, but she is mostly a self absorded little brat. the judge needs to tell her attorney{cause she won’t show up} that she either goes to jail or gets a mental health evualuation. everyone has been mollycolliding this woman and it needs to stop for her sake and her son’s sake. if not she should just sign her rights over to federline and maybe he and shar can raise the 4 kids together. you all remember shar, the woman he would probably still be with if spears hadn’t insinuated herself into their relationship.
