New, improved Britney shows up in court for her kids


I’ve been reserving judgment, and too scared of turning blue to actually hold my breath, but TMZ is reporting that the weaved wonder, Britney Spears, has actually shown up to her custody hearing this afternoon – on time and without the Brown Boots of Mental Illness. TMZ has the blow by blow report, and sources say that Brit and her slimeball ex, K-Fed, may be close to hammering out a mutual custody agreement out of court.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have just entered the courtroom and their case is about to begin.

Brit walked in with her hands clasped in front of her, looking down. Someone told her she looked good and Brit just smiled back. According to all accounts, “Brit looks good.”

Kevin and Britney were both sworn into court. A motion to close the court was granted — so everyone was kicked out. FYI — Elliot Mintz, K-Fed’s attorney’s rep, got the boot too.

The Commish has taken a recess and Brit is out in the hall looking very upset. Our spy says that while Britney isn’t actually crying in the hallway — it looks like she might have been crying inside the closed courtroom.

Mom and Pop Spears are still in the courtroom with Brit’s attorney, as is K-Fed and all his people.

Stay tuned …

UPDATE 10:28 AM PT — Brit is back in the courtroom.

UPDATE 10:38 AM PT — Britney is back out of the courtroom, smiling and holding hands with Blair Berk.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline (along with all their respective parties) are back in the courtroom after spending close to an hour in a private meeting room.

Brit walked into the courtroom hand-in-hand with her mom Lynne.

Could an amicable compromise be on the horizon?

[Compilated from multiple reports on TMZ]

Whatever happens today, Britney should feel good about the following: 1) She showed up at court, on time, appropriately dressed, and without holding a Fanta and a pack of cigarettes. 2) Thanks to her mom and lawyer, she was able to keep her composure on the stand- which may be a first. 3) The photos and court drawings actually make her look pretty good.

I find it more than a little interesting that this is the first post-Lutfi era court appearance, and Brit shows up with no problems. Jump to your own conclusion- I know I have.

Britney is shown outside the gym on 5/5/08, thanks to WENN.

    Lufti was the most toxic thing that could’ve happened to that girl. Glad he’s gone. I hope she gets her life together. Looks like she’s making an effort.

    Ugh, can she not do something better with her hair? Is it so hard? I don’t know how old this photo is, but I HATE the hair. It makes her monkey ears stick out even further.

    But, you know, great job on getting to the court on time and everything. That’s important.

    (..just hate the hair!)

    If she was going to go outside, couldn’t she at least have made an effort to look better? I look better than that after waking up.

  9. Livstabud says:

    I was never a fan of Brit, but I am and always was rooting for Brtiney Spears. I don’t get gleeful and happy when people take a tumble….it seems the rest of the world just loves it…. I really would like to see this young lady pull it together get custody of her children and live happily…../

    I really wish we could find out some more stuff on Sam. He’s definitely hiding from something. Anyway! This is really good news. Hopefully the next court date will go just as well.
