Britney Spears Taken In Ambulance After Standoff Involving Children

And the Britney Spears breakdown continues today…

Police were called to Spears’ house around 8 p.m. last night to respond to a custodial dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline over their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James. The dispute led to a three hour standoff that eventually led to Britney being taken away on a gurney and placed on an ambulance where she was taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department told City News Service that Spears appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance. He declined to elaborate. No injuries were reported.

Spears and Federline have been involved in a long and very public custody battle. Federline has temporary custody of the children because Spears, who has limited visitation rights, has repeatedly defied court orders. The two were married in October 2004 and divorced in July.

Bizarre Behavior Of Britney Spears

Last night’s episode is just the latest in a growing list of increasingly bizarre behavior patterns for Spears. In the past year alone she has been photographed partying (sans underwear) and appeared to be drunk and out-of-control on multiple occasions. She shaved her head, beat a car with an umbrella and spent a month in rehab. She has had a handful of fender benders, including one in which she ran over a photographer’s foot and she has been filmed stealing a cigarette lighter from a convenience store for no apparent reason at all.

By Wednesday even Spears’ attorneys from the firm Trope and Trope had had enough and had filed a court motion asking to be relieved due to a “breakdown” in communication with their client.

Someone Get This Girl Some Help

One wonders how much someone has to cry out for help before the people who claim to care about her actually begin to take steps to do something about it. Can there be any doubt at this point in time that Britney Spears is a very troubled young woman? I’m no psychologist but it’s obvious to even her most vocal defenders that Britney has some severe emotional issues and needs some serious help.

Details have yet to emerge on exactly what happened during last night’s “dispute” but at this point I don’t think anyone would be surprised to hear that Britney was waving around a handgun and threatening to shoot everyone in sight. That’s how crazy her life has become lately.
