Dazed Britney Spears Wheeled to Hospital After Custody Dispute
If you just woke up, some major drama went down in L.A. last night. Most of you know I really only blog about Britney in brief unless she's beating an SUV with an umbrella or something.
Here's the drama in a "nut" — shell:
Every rescue vehicle in Los Angeles descended upon the Spears residence last night as Britney refused to give up custody of one of her children to Kevin Federline, as ordered by the court.
A clearly dazed (intoxicated?) Spears was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 12:30 am for mental evaluation and drug testing and is under suicide watch. Her son Jayden reportedly arrived in a separate ambulance.
Video of Spears arriving at the hospital, AFTER THE JUMP. Good lord, it's like the President has been shot or something.
TMZ reports that as Britney arrived at the hospital she still found time to flip off the paparazzi.
And she wonders why they want a piece of her?

My non-scientific diagnosis is that she has acid face.
(Hunter S. Thompson acid-face, not Liza Minelli in _Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon_ acid-face.)

Think of the citizens of LA who were NOT being cared for as all these resources were wasted on this woman. Your tax dollars at work.

Instead of writing about this, I'm just gonna link to you, Andy.
Thanks for dirtying your hands. I just can't.

I'm not fan of Britney Spears, but the paparazzi who were standing in front of and running around the ambulance should be arrested and cited for interfering with an emergency vehicle. Ridiculous. Abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous.

Fashionable soulless cynicism aside, this is disturbing. A human being's complete mental breakdown into illness under the guise of entertainment news. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I hope she gets better, and in ten years she happy and healthy and far out of public view.

people are people famous or not. things like this should be left out of public view. since however it was brought in people should wish the best even though "oops something happened again..."

A friend of mine said about this: "Poor Britney, what's next, pictures on Perez Hilton of her getting nailed by a goat?" I said "Well, she let herself get knocked up twice by a jackass?" Miss Soears is in desperate need of help. Here's hoping someone out there is listening
