Britney Spears Wins Overnight Visitation

Britney Spears was back in court today winning overnight visitation - one night a week she gets to spend the night with her boys. The visits still have to be supervised by a court-appointed monitor. Britney’s request that her mother Lynne be the monitor was denied.

The surprise of the day was that Britney actually attended the hearing. Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was pleased with her appearance.

“I’m always pleased when anyone complies with court orders,” he said. Kaplan explained that the change in court orders was made possible by Federline. “[Kevin] agreed voluntarily to slightly increase visitation provided that certain conditions were in place. He agreed. He didn’t have to.” Kaplan added: “I opposed the family member as a monitor.” Kaplan believes such an arrangement would represent “an inherent conflict of interest.”

Kaplan might have also been pleased that she showed because of her performance in the courtroom. During her time on the stand, she got into with with L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon for 40 minutes.

TMZ reports,

She constantly interrupted him and at times was extremely sarcastic. At one point she started thanking the judge for what he had done, but her tone was heavily laced with disdain.

We’re told the Commish explained to Spears how she had gotten to the point she’s at — why defying the various orders she was supposed to comply with raised concerns that she was not a responsible person. Spears didn’t get it. She was at times contentious, argumentative and condescending.

We’re told K-Fed’s lawyer didn’t object to her testimony, it was so bad. One description of today’s testimony, pretty simple — “Appalling.”

Way to go Brit. I’m sure at least half of you are sick of hearing about Britney Spears already, but if the girl would stop making headlines, I’d stop writing about her.

What others are saying:

I’m Bringing Blogging Back says, “I’m not sure though if the kids are old enough to hold back mamma’s hair has she vomits over the toilet. I’m just kidding, she doesn’t puke over the toilet. She just vomits anywhere she may be: The kitchen, backyard, the car, walking up the stairs, walking down the stairs, in the parlor, etc.”

dlisted says, “SPF and JJ are probably like ‘Woo Hoo! Midnight Margaritas for us again!’”

Mollygood says, “Britney eventually showed for that court date. Better late than stupendously negligent.”

Celebrity Dirty Laundry says, “Britney Spears cares yâ€™all!”

A Socialite’s Life says, “Seriously, it’s not my fault I keep having to write about this woman. I’m only doing my job.”
