Maybe she is taking her cue on the inner circle thing from the guy in the White House. Disagree, you're out of here. Suck up, I likes it.

Isn't that kind of approach to life exactly what made Michael Jackson into the mess he is today?

Witness: Britney Spears Had Issues With Nudity, Drug Use
Monday, September 17, 2007

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears' custody of her children was in jeopardy Monday as her former bodyguard accused the pop star of having "issues of nudity and drug use" since she returned from rehab, and reports of a planned "hit" on her ex-husband Kevin Federline emerged.

The bodyguard's attorney, the high-profile Los Angeles lawyer Gloria Allred, said in a press conference Monday that Spears' attorney chose not to cross-examine the bodyguard, who has been described as a "secret witness" against Spears in her custody battle with Federline.

The bodyguard, Tony Barretto, filed a declaration in the custody battle which alleges "nudity, drug use and safety issues post-rehab."

Allred said Barretto was prepared to testify under oath Monday, but neither the court nor Spears' attorneys chose to cross-examine him. She said his declaration went "unrefuted and unchallenged."

Barretto started working for Spears when she got out of rehab, and was fired on May 17 because, Allred said, "He did not hear her when he was asked to pick up her hat."

2007 MTV VMA's MTV Video Music Awards Barretto, himself the father of young children, came forward because while working for Spears, he became "very concerned" about the safety of her two boys, according to Allred.

Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said he was in court Monday because of a declaration that had been filed by him and because he wanted to be available should his client be cross-examined.

Meanwhile, "Entertainment Tonight" reported that the FBI and the LAPD are investigating legitimate leads on a contract hit on Federline's life.

Multiple sources told "ET" that the FBI made attempts to contact Federline to inform him of the potential danger. The FBI reportedly told "ET" that the bureau could not confirm or deny an investigation.

TMZ.com said reports of an FBI investigation into a plot to kill Federline are completely untrue — but an LAPD investigation was conducted in the past.

According to LAPD, the department opened an investigation into a threat on Federline's life nearly two months ago, but the case was closed due to insufficient evidence.

TMZ also spoke with the L.A. spokesperson for the FBI, who blasted reports claiming that the FBI ever confirmed anything about a K-Fed investigation.

"The information on the Internet on these reports is not accurate. It did not come from the FBI at all," TMZ quoted the spokesperson as saying.

Spears married Federline in October 2004. She filed for divorce last November; it became official on July 30.

The two have joint custody of sons Sean Preston, who turned 2 on Friday, and Jayden James, who turned 1 on Wednesday. Federline reportedly has been fighting to gain full custody of the two boys.

Kaplan said the custody battle would go on at least until the end of the year, and that two court dates were set, one in November and one in December.

He also said Federline is not seeking to modify his current monetary awards.

"All of these frenzied reports that he’s seeking custody related to money — they sound interesting but they’re not accurate," he said.

Spears gave a disastrous performance last week in her opening act at the MTV Video Music Awards, which was followed by more purported photos of her without underwear hitting the Internet.

She has an album due in stores on Nov. 13.

I have followed the twists and turns all day long on the Britney Spears fiasco, and I am just speechless. She was fired by her attorney Laura Wasser this morning and fired by her latest publicist Mark Kwatinetz this afternoon. When the people on your payroll fire you - that should really be a tip-off to you that something is wrong with you. Until they 51-50 her A$$, she will not listen to anyone, and there is no hope for her. All we can do at this point is pray for those two little boys who did not ask for any of this!!!!!

Basically the rats are jumping ship. It's hurting their reps to be associated with her now.

And I think they deserve it. These are the people who kowtowed to her instead of giving her good, meaningful advice. A good employee knows when to give hard truth and risk pissing off the boss. These guys were too scared, and now their client isn't just useless to them, she's actively a detriment to any other business they get.

It seems that Fox News is reporting that Spears will temporarily lose custody of her sons to her K-Fed. FOXNews.com - Sources: Britney Spears Will Temporarily Lose Custody of Her Children - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment

Okay, I guess I'm not current on all the slang now, so I have to ask... what does the above phrase mean?

SoStacieFan · 09-17-2007, 11:47 PM

I hate Britney so much right now. Her song is overrated, her performance was over-hyped, yet I see a lot of people on other forums I go to continue to praise her saying that Gimme More is the greatest song of all-time.

LOL

I think I have heard the "51-50" term before. Isn't that about an involuntary psychiatric hold in California?? I'm with you. She seems to be overdue.

Its a police code for escaped lunatic...I remember that because 5150 was the name of a Van Halen album....

From wikipedia:

Quote:

Section 5150 is a section of California's Welfare and Institutions Code (specifically, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act or "LPS") which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person deemed a danger to himself, herself, and/or others[1] and/or gravely disabled. A qualified officer, which includes any California peace officer, as well as any specifically designated county clinician, can request the confinement after signing a written declaration. When used as a term, 5150 can informally refer to the person being confined or to the declaration itself.
