Britney Can't Hire New Lawyer!!!

Filed under: Britney Spears > Legal Matters

awenn5085762.jpg

Brit Brit met up with lawyer Adam Streisand yesterday, presumably to try and fight the conservatorship established by the court which gives her dad and an independent attorney control of her life.

Unfortunately, Spears can't legally hire the new lawyer, the courts have decided.

A publicist for Streisand has just give PerezHilton.com the following statement, explaining what has happened:

"At the request of Britney Spears, Adam Streisand, a Partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP, met with her yesterday to discuss her legal rights in connection with the conservatorship over her person and estate. Following that meeting, Mr. Streisand learned that the court had issued orders that prevent Ms. Spears from retaining counsel of her own choosing, and on that basis, Mr. Streisand has decided he will not represent her at this time."

    more like, he wont represent her because any twat can see that her parents are what she needs right now and she shouldn't be fighting him….plus she's not allowed pay him because she doesnt have control over her assets…!

    SHE IS SO FRUSTRATING. When will someone get through to her or she gets some sense? I know addicts act this way and I watched one of my closests friends kill himself by denial. THANK GOD for her parents. I can see her father is trying. Britney really needs to be under doctor's constant care until she is well.

    So sorry for all in her family. What a mess? I hope that the hospital
    knew what it was doing when Britney was released. How can she
    possible be stable, given the bi-polar diagnosis. Isn't it very hard
    to treat initially?

    I think the Britney thing is running it's course. I used to care what happened to her. Even sent her flowers for inspiration. Unfortunately all she cares about is being an idiot. She doesn't care about her fans, her family, her children or herself. All she cares about is attention and it's getting sooooo old!

    I could care less now what happens to her. She doesn't deserve to have people feel sorry for her and care if she refuses to help herself. JMOO

    good, she needs someone who cares about her to run things. Not someone she met during the last year. It is really sad that she was let out of the hospital. Driving around for hours not going anywhere either than the gas station and starbucks indicates some type of problem-it will just be a matter of time before she is back in the hospitl.

  31. I LOVE YOU, BUT QUIT YOU says – reply to this

    Dear Perez,

    I have to quit britney today, and i have to quit you. The scenario now is like someone chasing a mentally retarded person around with cameras and then posting pictures and poking fun. It's not your fault, but you're definitely part of the problem, not the solution. It's not fun anymore. I have to quit all intake of Britney Spears news and unfortunately, that means your site. It's just not interesting, it's so repetitive. It's just the same week after week. YOU'RE SO FUN TO READ TOO! I will miss it. I'll MISS YOU!!!!

    Poor Britney she's losing control of everything. Do her parents even want her living?

    Good! Now all they have to do now is to enforce what the court originally put down and put her back in the hospital. I would like to know what f—-ng idiot said she was alright to be discharged just days after she was deemed to be "gravely disabled"?

    she needs to just settle down and stop acting like a spoiled bratty little child. Once again she has an opportunity to have some sympathy from the public, and she is again showing she really is her own worst enemy. I wish she would just let her daddy take care of her awhile.

    As much as Britney may not view this as a good thing in the end when hopefully she is in a healthier state of mind she will be thankful for not being in charge of her own fate at this time. She really needs people who truly care about her well being to be the ones to call the shots. I really, really hope she gets well and makes a full recovery, not for the sake of the music business but for her two children who are suffering because of all of this. GET WELL BRITNEY !!

    WTF is all this Lipstick Jungle bullshit? What did that paycheck look like, Perez? I hope it was worth it. The San Diego Union Tribune totally trashed this show this morning, saying they try too hard and it's like glob on your shoe! Ha ha. Snooze button is officially hit.

    Ha! Right Tom Cruise #34

    And next you'll be telling Britney that "all she needs to have a beautiful and fulfilling life is to become a Scientolotwat…give all her money to the "church" and "reprogram" her children to worship L. Ron Hubbernut." Right! OMG - I can't wait.

    Re: len – Seriously! WTF is she doing OUT at all. She needs to be committed. Yeah I know it's difficult to have someone committed against their will blah blah blah and you can't hold someone in the hospital on the psych floor if they're not a danger to themselves or others blah blah blah. But I hope all these doctors still feel that they've made the right decision when this woman is dead. She clearly cannot function on her own and she IS a threat to herself and others. I feel so sorry for her poor dad, running all over L.A. trying to contain her and bring her back home.

    Presumably that is just until the conservatorship ends. Brit better be good or it'll get extended past Feb 14th!!!
    (and she sure hasn't done much so far to inspire confidence in her ability to handle her affairs!)
    Time to get yourself to out-patient counselling, or rehab, or something that will restore the court's confidence. Crazy-time just doesn't cut it anymore.

    Re: me
    Unfortunately, she can sign herself out after 72 hours. I have a friend who signed himself out of Intensive Care against doctor's wishes. He walked out of the hospital in the middle of medical detox. Needless to say, he was found dead 3 months later in a transient hotel.

    Thank God again, it's about time someone stepped in and put these train wrecks in the entertainment industry in line to prevent them from their own self destruct mode. If she's able to control her own fortune, then all the users and gold diggers will blood suck everthing and nothing will be left for her children. Next step is to get this chick into some kind of private treatment facility for her bi-polar disorder and get all of these mooches out of her life.

    Re: I LOVE YOU, BUT QUIT YOU – I can't quit. I tried and tried. I keep sayin "as soon as the Britney thing dies down". It was even my New Year's resolution. And then I catch the news about Brit's ambulance-to-Cedars-Sinai drama and I'm BACK on all the blog sites again.

    Best of luck with your attempt! If you're reading this note I know you've failed.

    I see Streisand (god Barbra must be wonderin how much money to pay this guy to change his name) is now issuing statements, and forwarding papz requests for information to the "marketing dept".
    .
    Guess he's a bit gunshy after being such a cocky SOB — yakkin in front of the courthouse about what HE was all about, pushin his name, blah blah blah…
    …AND THEN GETTIN the SMAKADOWN from the commish.

    First impressions matter PRICK! Marketing depts and carefully released statements won't erase the picture of a well dressed ambulance chaser from the public's mind. Career's still on life support baby!
