Britney Misses Hearing, K-Fed Keeps Kids

Britney Spears still may not visit her children, a court commissioner ruled Monday, following a custody hearing the pop singer missed.

Kevin Federline, who testified at the session, maintains sole legal and physical custody of their two sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, "indefinitely," a court spokesman says.

"The word victory is not something Mr. Federline or his counsel would ascribe to this situation," Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said. "His hope is that he will be able to parent the children at some point in the future with participation from the mother."

In a bizarre and chaotic scene outside the courthouse, Spears arrived for the afternoon session of the proceedings – but abruptly left the courthouse after paparazzi surrounded her.

"I'm scared. I want to get in the car. I'm going in the car," she said after stepping out of the car as photographers crowded around her.

Spears, 26, then got back in the car. Police tried to coax her out, but she slammed her back against the seat and shouted, "No!" Spears's car eventually drove off.

Church and Lunch

Spears, who had also missed the morning session, then drove to the Little Brown Church near her home in Studio City, where she went inside briefly.

"She wasn't even there for long, just in and out," said assistant pastor Michael Kosik, who noted that even though Spears was wearing white she "did not try to get married." "I think she just needed to get away."

Spears then had lunch at the Gaucho Grill with her paparazzi pal Adnan Ghalib, friend Sam Lutfi and a third man.

"Britney was very quiet and seemed sad and upset," the singer's waitress says. "She wore her sunglasses inside. ... She seemed drained."

The court hearing had focused on Spears's four-hour Jan. 3 standoff with police, firefighters and paramedics at her Studio City home. Events that evening resulted in Spears being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and later being stripped of visitation rights.

Five witnesses testified at the hearing, including two police officers, the court-appointed custody monitor and Federline's bodyguard – who all were at Spears's house during the standoff. Also testifying was a parenting coach who was not at the scene.

A trial in the case is set for April.

Janice Dickinson on Britney: ‘I’d slap her silly!’

Self-proclaimed original supermodel also says Lynne Spears should be jailed

The always outspoken Janice Dickinson sat down with Access Hollywood's Tony Potts and unleashed her thoughts on Britney Spears, Spears' mom and Dr. Phil.

Dickinson feels in order to get to the root of Spears' problems, Lynne Spears should be held responsible.

"My opinion on Britney Spears, is Mrs. [Lynne] Spears should be jailed. Britney's mom is responsible for all this stuff going on."

As for how Dickinson would handle Spears?

"I'd slap her silly! I'd slap the living s**t out of her!" Dickinson told Potts.

After taking a moment to seriously consider the question, Dickinson told Potts, "I would beg Britney just to give it all up. I would say. 'You're rich enough! Give it up and try to focus on the two boys.' I seriously hope that Britney doesn't kill herself. I seriously hope that she doesn't damage herself."

But Spears and her mother were not the only ones Dickinson was taking on. As for her thoughts on Dr. Phil, the former model said, "I think Dr. Phil is pathetic. Pathetic sensationalism."

Dickinson has faced her own set of demons. Now in recovery, Dickinson has had multiple stints in rehab. She credits the Alcoholic Anonymous Twelve Step program with saving her life.

"I am an alcoholic and a chemically dependent person, said Dickinson. "I would just beg Britney to try to find a twelve-step program for her that works, because, like [with] myself, it can happen again and again until you finally find it. Thank God I found it."

Dickinson and all her antics can be seen Tuesdays on Oxygen on "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency."

Brit faces ‘significant’ custody hearing Monday

‘You can’t phone this one in,’ K-Fed’s lawyer says of pop star’s appearance

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears’ effort to regain visitation rights with her two small children is back on the court docket for what an attorney described Sunday as “the most significant hearing in the case so far.”

Police and emergency medical technicians who were summoned to her home Jan. 3 in a standoff involving her refusal to return the boys to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, will testify Monday, probably behind closed doors, his lawyer said.

“I don’t know if she will be there,” Mark Vincent Kaplan told The Associated Press, but he suggested she would have to appear in person if she wants to press her request to see her children. “You can’t phone this one in.”

If Spears comes to court, Kaplan said she would be expected to testify. “She will have the opportunity to persuade the court that she can have some visitation under monitored conditions,” he said.

Sources told celebrity Web site TMZ.com that Spears’ lawyers know that Comissioner Scott Gordon is expecting the pop star to address the custody showdown at her home on the evening of Jan. 3

Phone and e-mail messages requesting comment from Spears’ attorneys Sunday afternoon were not immediately returned.

Kaplan said he knew it was only a temporary measure when he obtained emergency court orders two weeks ago granting sole physical and legal custody to Federline.

“These are very, very draconian orders,” Kaplan said. “Because of that the court wanted to have a hearing to give her and her attorneys the opportunity to refute some of the declarations.”

“No judge likes making orders terminating a person’s involvement with their kids,” Kaplan said.

Meanwhile, police were preparing for a media frenzy in the downtown civic center if Spears appears, issuing warnings Sunday that vehicle and pedestrian violations would lead to citations.

Kaplan said that if Spears comes to court, he would like to cross-examine her on the events of Jan. 3.

Whisked away
Police were called by a court appointed monitor when Spears refused to hand over Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, to Federline’s security guard and locked herself in a room with one of the boys.

Spears was taken to a hospital in an ambulance chased by photographers and was placed on an involuntary hold on grounds she was a danger to herself or others. Spears left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center a day and half later.

The day after the incident, Kaplan presented papers to Gordon, who awarded sole legal and physical custody of the boys to Federline and suspended Spears’ visitation rights.

Kaplan said if visitation is restored, it would be under more restrictions than those originally imposed by Gordon.

One expert in family law agreed that the hearing provides Spears her only hope of resuming visits with her children before a custody trial scheduled for April.

“Usually, when someone has the threat of losing their children, they’ll do anything to get their children back,” said Lynn Soodik, who predicted visitation rights could be restored if Spears appears and offers an explanation.

“This is not a punishment for her,” Soodik said. “It’s what’s in the best interest of the children. The judge has to carefully weigh their safety versus not seeing their mother. It’s drastic to have no contact with their mother.”

Soodik said Gordon could order monitored visitation in a location away from Spears’ home “in some kind of setting where the judge can assure that she wouldn’t be able to lock the kids in a room with her.”
