Brit-Brit Rundown

There is a somewhat lengthy and definitely in-depth entry coming up on Britney Spears and her whole... Britney - the unbearable burden of being Brit-Brit, if you will (that's a good title, in fact). But I first wanted to rundown the developments since we last discussed the hot mess that is one Miss Britney Spears.

As the weekend closed in, Britney's manager, Sam Lutfi, placed a call to The View's Barbara Walters, telling her that Britney was seeing a psychiatrist at his behest. Shortly thereafter, Brit-Brit's hillbilly folks showed up at her door and threw everyone out. Britney was checked into a hospital Thursday morning.

That dipshit, Adnan Ghalib, was in the mix somewhere, but no one's really sure where. Initial reports said he rode with the parents to the hospital, newer reports say the parents have thrown him out and will not allow him to visit Britney.

Not long after whatever happened went down, Britney was diagnosed "gravely disabled." this means she is not even capable of feeding and sheltering herself. This came as no shock to anyone, really; she could never dress herself. However, this is a legal ploy which allowed her dad to petition the courts for control of her estate. He was granted conservatorship over the former pop-star and her estate, though only until Monday (allegedly). The first thing he did was get a restraining order against manager, Sam Lutfi. They then kicked everyone out of her estate and changed the locks.

Lutfi claims he has a "moral obligation" to help Britney. He went on to claim that her parents were financially motivated to get control over her and the estate and that they are disconnected from her and her life.

...

All this happened since Thursday. In fact, most of it happened on Thursday!

Of course, we here to The Rundown have more than a few opinions and so forth to share on all of this - in fact, the post was drafted before all of this even went down - and we'll get to that shortly. Needless to say, this train finally jumped the tracks and overturned, and we have literally months' of posts to cover the entire, ugly crash.
