News and gossip about Britney Spears

After her release from hospital Britney went home and then drove to the Beverly Hills Hotel to meet Adnan Ghalib. Approximately an hour later Adnan, drove Britney out of the hotel to her new lawyer Adam Streisand’s office.

Striesand appeared before Commissioner Reva Goetz Monday, February 4, to contest the appointment of Britney’s father Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet as conservators of her estate pleading Jamie’s conservatorship “would only cause further distress, agitation and estrangement,”

Britney wants Jamie and Wallet to be replaced as conservators by the Northern Trust Bank.

While she was driving to the hotel Britney was chased by a hoard of paparazzi through bumper to bumper traffic forcing the LAPD to intervene.

At one point when a paparazzo offered to give Britney Adnan’s number she reverted to her bitchy British persona.

Adnan can “shove it up his ass!” she responded in her British accent.

All of the hospitalization and legal drama in Britney Spears’ life as of late has most definitely put a strain on her relationship with boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

But the two were nevertheless reunited yesterday afternoon, a few short hours after her release from the UCLA Medical Center.

A source told press that UCLA had to release the “Gimme More” singer, “because she was no longer required to stay there after 11:30 AM,” given the fact that she was no longer considered a threat to herself or others.

A few hours later, Brit met up with Adnan at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and they drove to the law offices of Adam Strisand, the lawyer who objected to Jamie Spears’ motion to become her co-conservator this past Monday.

When news of Britney Spears’ release from UCLA Medical Center broke, there wasn’t immediate cause for panic from some of those close to her. “I’m glad it happened quietly. Hopefully she really is on her way for more treatment,” said one person close to Spears.

And then just hours later, as if she were literally trying to remind the world exactly who is in the driver’s seat, Spears put herself back behind the wheel of a car.

“Unfortunately this isn’t uncommon,” said someone with close ties to the same program Spears was in at UCLA. “Patients like Britney go right back to their habits until they’ve hit rock bottom. She obviously hasn’t hit rock bottom, despite what it look like from the outside.”

Sam Lutfi, who is now on the receiving end of a restraining order imposed by Britney Spears’ parents, was the one person by her side as she unraveled over the past six months.

In the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, Spears’ de facto manager and confidant opens up about her bipolar disorder, how he medicated her, what happened the night she was hospitalized, and how her parents reacted.

“In the depressive episodes, it’s all crying,” Lutfi tells Us. “But in the manic episode, there’s very little crying or sympathy or compassion. She becomes another person. She becomes somebody that just doesn’t care about anybody or anything.”

“The British accent is part of the mania,” he adds. “She’ll stick to the British accent because she becomes comfortable with it_ But you know, when the pink wig comes on, it’s getting bad.”

Lutfi says that when Spears was involuntarily committed to treatment at UCLA Medical Center on January 31, her mom, Lynne Spears, arrived and tried to remove her daughter from his guidance. “Well, he is better family than you guys will ever be,” Spears responded, according to Lutfi.

Lutfi tells Us that he gave Britney “a handful of pills” before her parents arrived. “I said these pills are working wonders, they are miracle pills,” he recalls. Spears, Lutfi says, agreed that the meds were helping her sleep.

(In their restraining order against Lutfi filed yesterday, Spears’ parents accuse him of drugging their daughter and being verbally abusive. Jamie, who has been named as his daughter’s conservator, “is doing what he has to do to save Britney,” a source tells Us.)
