Britney gets another new lawyer in custody case
Previous attorney lasted two days representing Spears against Federline

LOS ANGELES - Just two days after replacing her attorney in her divorce battle against Kevin Federline, it’s once again out with the old and in with the new for Britney Spears, as she has again switched lawyers.

High-profile divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope will be the latest legal eagle to represent Brit in her battle with Kevin, according to People magazine.

Trope, who has represented the likes of Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage, and whose firm represents Larry Birkhead, replaces Marci Levine, who spent all of two days as Britney’s lawyer, after Levine replaced Laura Wasser, who stepped down on Monday.

“Yes, it’s true Ms. Spears quit Melvin Goldsman’s firm, but we haven’t been officially retained yet,” Trope told People magazine. “The paperwork has not been signed, and it has to have our firm’s, Goldsman’s and Ms. Spears’ signatures. I anticipate it will be signed (Wednesday).”

The announcement comes just one day after a judge ruled Britney must undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week, as her custody battle with Kevin continues.

The ruling came after the court said they found evidence of “habitual, frequent and continuous” use of drugs and alcohol by the singer.

In addition, the court mandated that neither Britney nor Kevin “shall consume alcohol, or other non-prescription controlled substances” while with the kids or within 12 hours immediately prior to having custody of the kids.

Contrary to other online reports that suggested Kevin would be granted temporary physical custody of the kids, the court declined to modify the existing agreement, which means the current 50/50 split will remain in effect for now.

Kevin’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, spoke with Access Hollywood on Tuesday night following the court’s latest ruling.

“I think that most of what was reflected in that order are things that Kevin had requested in the orders that he put forth when he filed his orders to show cause,” Kaplan noted.

So why doesn’t Kevin have to undergo drug or alcohol testing?

“Well, Kevin doesn’t have to do that because there is no basis to require him to do that,” Kaplan explained.

In my opinion Kevin is no better than Britney when it comes to parenthood. I would like to see Brit's mom get custody of those adorable boys. Brit and Kevin are too involved with their own partying ways than to take care of the kids. Kevin doesn't have a great track record either with his other 2 kids.

Britney's mom raised Britney and we all know how well Britney's turned out... Sadly, no one involved seems like a great choice. It's the lesser of two evils right now, which would seem to be Kevin.

(Woo hoo! Unless I'm mistaken, this was my 100th post. )

She doesn't care, she doesn't want help and until she wants it, it doesn't matter what anyone else wants! Britney will do what she pleases and what she can get away with!

Donald Duck might have better luck than the people who HAVE tried. His cartoons are about at her level. Anything more coherent or adult and she's lost.

Spears Charged in LA Parking Lot Crash
Published: 9/21/07, 8:25 PM EDT

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Britney Spears was charged Friday with misdemeanor counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license after she allegedly smashed her car into another in a parking lot in August, prosecutors said. If convicted, the singer could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count, said Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the city attorney's office.

Messages left with Spears' attorneys were not immediately returned.

The accident occurred Aug. 6, Velasquez said.

Spears, 25, was filmed by paparazzi that day steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. After assessing the damage to her own car only, she was shown on paparazzi video walking away.

Three days after the accident, the owner of the other vehicle filed a police report, and investigators later determined that Spears does not have a license, officials said.

Spears was scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 10, but she is not required to appear.

The case adds to the singer's woes, coming days after a court commissioner ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing in her child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Her management firm also recently dropped her, and her performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards was widely panned.

I say give her the Paris Hilton treatment and throw her in jail...maybe that's what she needs right now...........it truly is so sad....

Makes me wonder... all of those times they've shown her driving a car with her children, was she unlicensed?

This girl is a mess. I just hope that she figures it out before it's too late.

Oh, i think i recall that incident. Footage and all.

[MamaC]

Here we go again.....and driving with a suspended license to boot!

Toss her in the slammer, please!

Wowsa, have you guys seen the pics of Britney's breakdown after her court appointed drug test? Something must have happened for her to react like that with the paparazzi around.

She is her own worst enemy at this point. When everyone who loves you is no longer a part of your life, that should tell you that your life is going in a scarey direction. She had no idea that motherhood involved more than posing with cute kids but if these children are to have any kind of a normal chilhood with her, then she needs to grow the hell up...now!

I was a young mother as well and it's not easy but I did it without nannies,without money and without a mom that would always be there.
