Britney Can't Hire New Lawyer!!!

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."

      Can't someone take her car keys away from her and force her to stay home? Does Batshitney still have access to her credit cards or did daddy cut them up while she was in hospital? It sounds cruel perhaps but this girl needs to be stopped and monitored more closely before she hurts herself or some innocent bystander. I think she will slowly figure out that her world is closing in on her and that she HAS to make an attempt at getting better before things can go back to the way they should be.

      I think her father is in it just for the money. The fact that she HATES her father should speak VOLUMES to everybody. Why do you think she went SO LONG avoiding her family, not going to family functions, and counting her family out of her life? She feels betrayed by them that she lost her childhood due to their fame-hungry ways. They were never going to be RICH so they figured…hey lets whore out our daughter. The only reason why Britney even HAS issues right now is BECAUSE of her parents.

      SHE'S A "FANILOW"!!! HaHa! She really likes the GAYS doesn't she! Maybe that's her problem- she's a gay man trapped in a women's body. Good luck with that!

      You see before you someone who probably has never been told "NO" in her life. No perimeters were set for her growing up. She has no understanding of societal perimeters. THAT is why it is dangerous for her to playact at being a mother right now.
      She and Winehouse need to have "NO" NO NO NO told to them more often. They are no better than any of us. More money perhaps, but no better. We have to obey laws, they have to as well.
      FINALLY someone is stepping in, the courts/parents in britney's case, and the American Embasssy in Winehouses' case, and doing what needs to be DONE. JUST SAY "NO".

      BWAHAHAH!

      I love how they say "Mr. Streisand has decided not to represent her at this time"

      Like he has a friggin choice in the matter!
      A judge said NO!
      What a slimy leechy leech.

      Britney really needs to be committed once and for all. I'm sorry but that's the only way she will ever get the help she needs. The way it's going in these hospitals is ridiculous. Britney is to be kept on hold for x amount of days, then some one deems she's fine, she gets let out early and it all continues on the way it did before.This is not helping her. If Adnan was the "good guy" some people claim him to be, he would have taken her back to the hospital or worked with her parents, but no, he took her straight to a shister drama queen lawyer's office to get her dad off the conservatorship. Thank God La Streisand Jr. could not represent her.Her father and Mr. Wallet need to be conservators until she is able to function sanely.

      Brit just needs to except the fact that the conservatorship is for the best and her parents only have her interest in mind. She has been out of control for a while now and I dont believe anything has changed in 5 days. She couldnt take care of herself, her kids, and if she doesnt want to loose it all I dont believe she should have control over her money either. I dont believe her parents will do anything shady to her and she just needs to sit back and relax and let them take care of her. They wouldnt have done any of this if they believed she was well enough to handle it. She just needs to focus on getting better and she will get her life back.

      It is a scandal. She is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Whoo! Big deal. No reason whatsoever to strip her of her human rights and lock her away like a criminal. There are thousands of people who are just as crazy (or more) and who are walking free. Half of the people who are posting here are not in their right minds (the ones who post stuff like: "she has to die" for example).
      IT IS HER LIFE!!!!

      Once Obama becomes president, I think you'll see Perez Hilton's site fall into the dust. The evil that feeds off others' misery, his love of terror in the smallness of real people's lives is something this country will do without once someone with clarity takes all of our human-ness to a higher level. RIGHT NOW…. I am proposing all Barack Obama fans to remove the Perez Hilton bookmark from their browsers and clear their cache. Time to move on now, not later. DO IT NOW… I am MAKE A STAND!

SUPER DUMB PIGS LIKE YOU need to pull your heads out of your grotequely fat asses and wise up to that REALITY ! GO HILLARY ! THE COUNTRY DESPERATELY NEEDS YOU AND NOT THAT SNAKE OIL SALESMAN OBUMMER ! And BTW you ignorant TWAT…regardless of the outcome, the election will have NO effect on PEREZ…if you don't like it here why don't you crawl back under OBUMMER'S ASS and continue to suck…as it's obviously what you do best.

      Ok she is starting to make me want to reach out and kick her in the ass.

      She has had a shity life lately, but she is a mother and she could have kept her ass put and received the help she needed. Thus allowing her to be a real mother to her small sons.

      While I'm sure she still will be able to make more music… you can't if your fuckin DEAD !

      Its beyond the pale that Britney can't make it to court, but she can find time to meet with a lawyer when her ass is in the hot seat.

      TAKE SOME FUCKIN TIME OFF AND GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER ALREADY !

      If that calls for her ass to ride shotgun while Pa Spears takes over and makes sure her head is on right, and that slime sucker Sam & Pap boyfriend get the boot then may fate move its ass and keep her locked up or unable to act a FOOL without the risk of being locked up again.

      I would love to know why & how her sneaky ass was allowed out in the first place, and please let them have given her some kind of med that blocks the feeling that any illegal drug would give her sorry ass.

      I still can't stand FEDEX and believe that he was the start of her downfall, but enough is enough.

      BITCH GET THE FUCKIN HELP THAT YOUR SORRY ASS NEEDS. FUCK THE DRUGS & LAX ! GET A PT AND DO THE REAL WORK TO BACK UP YOUR MUSIC !

      What an unbelievable mess. The more I read about her the more I believe that no one ever told her "no" when she was growing up. That just sets one up for a lot of disappointment and heartache later in life. Although I think her mom and dad are trying to help her, it may just be a little too late. I think this is one pop princess whose star faded way too soon.

      Britney is nuts if she thinks getting a new laywer is going to get her out of the mess she's in. If she can't take advice from her own family, why would she take the advice of a total stranger? The girl needs a serious reality check. You would think that having her children would be enough! Someone needs to put the whore in a hospital!

      She needs to clean up her act, stick with her family, pay off K-Fed with whatever money he wants so long as she gets her kids back. And finally get rid of all the losers and her current boyfriend who just want her money. The money should go to her kids only and her Mom/Dad who put up with all her Crap! Grow Up Britney- Get rid of the scum around you!

      Hey Perez, you need to investigate this more. Under conservatorship, a person is guaranteed the right to retain counsel of their choosing. It's a basic right. Something isn't adding up.

      Whilst looking at this site, I heard on the news that Jamie has asked the court to have her business manager (OSAMA) turn over ALL financial records as well as any of her assets he has in his possession. And you know he's got all kind of goodies, you know like recorded conversations, pics and whatnot that he would use in case of-him getting throwed the hell out of Brit Brit's life. Ya thought this fukker was a snake? Watch this bastard now!

      Uhm, if one is deemed not fit to handle their own finances, why oh why would the court allow them to make an "informed choice" as to legal counsel?
