A Tiny Bump In The Road

OK ... so maybe driving isn't really her strong suit. Britney Spears was involved in, yet another, eensy weensy vehicular accident on Sunset Blvd. this week when she kinda sorta rear-ended a Ford Explorer with her white Mercedes of death. Here are a few pics of Brit's latest fender bender:

The good news is that no one was injured ... it's also good that she didn't flee the scene of the crime without talking to the other party (you may recall that Britney was involved in a hit and run with another car in a parking lot last year ... which hounded her for months afterwards). Now, it's perfectly normal for these sorts of things to happen -- they can really happen to anyone. There is no cause for concern ... this is not the return of "crazy Britney" it's just a minor traffic infraction ... yeah ... that's it ... nothing more to worry about ... I'm sure.

Britney Spears Is For The Children

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

Kids have always been a big part of Britney Spears' fanbase - but yesterday afternoon, she might have been wishing otherwise!

Once again, Britney stopped by Bally yesterday afternoon for another workout. Upon her arrival, the pop princess found herself greeted by a swarm of paparazzi - and one young man who hurled obscenities at the paps from off-camera! Language, young man!

But that little hellraiser was nothing compared to the kid Britney encountered on her way out of the gym. Keep an eye out for the kid on the skateboard who actually throws his trash at Britney's Mercedes - easy, kid, that car costs a pretty penny!

No wonder Britney headed straight over to the Ritz-Carlton to wrap up her workout - by that time, she was probably in the mood for some more mature company!

Britney Had Cosmetic Damage Before Crash

The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:

Minutes before Britney Spears caused a three car crash on a Saturday night, she was driving the same way most women in L.A. do -- putting on her makeup behind the wheel!

TMZ spoke with the guy she hit, who says before the accident, he was admiring the white Mercedes and the woman putting on makeup while driving it. It wasn't until after she hit him at an estimated 10-15 MPH that he realized the woman was Britney. The man also says he wasn't sure if she was still putting on makeup at the time of the crash.

After the smash up, Britney's bodyguard apologized for the incident, but Britney never got around to doing the same. Brit and the 21-year-old crashee only exchanged a few words, but she did mention she was on the way to dinner with her mom.

As far as the field sobriety test is concerned, the crashee says officers performed the ol' "follow my finger test" on Brit. At first she was giggly, but she got real serious real quick. BTW -- she was the only person involved who was tested.

While no injuries were reported on the scene, the man claims that he woke up with a sore back this morning and is looking into booking an appointment with a chiropractor.

Britney Gets Back In The Drivers Seat

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

Continuing to show signs of improvement every day, Britney took her Mercedes out for one of her beloved drives around her Beverly Hills neighborhood Monday, sporting new, long blonde extensions!

Although she wasn't alone (her bodyguard rode shotgun), it does seems as if she's exercising a healthy dose of freedom by taking control of her life. Well, at least of her car!

Yesterday morning she spent solo time with her sons, in the afternoon she was out on her own (sorta), seems like she's getting healthier every day!

Britney's Dad to Sell Some of Her Cars

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

Daddy is taking away the keys to some of Britney Spears's cars – permanently.

A court granted the singer's father on Monday the power to "sell or dispose of" an undisclosed number of her seven cars, documents show.

Lawyers for Jamie Spears stated that the cost of maintaining the fleet of vehicles was too expensive and that the sale of "a certain of" her cars "will save substantial expense to the conservatorship estate."

Among the singer's cars are two white Mercedes (a SL65 and a CLK350), a white Mini Cooper convertible, and a black Audi.

Also on Monday, a court spokesman clarified that the pop star's $1,500 a week allowance "is not her only source of (personal) income," but did not give further details.

Spears's father and a lawyer will remain in control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.

Brit's Dad is Selling Her Cars

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

After being ordered on Monday to pay more of Kevin Federline's legal fees, the conservators for Britney Spears are wasting no time tightening her purse strings.

During Monday's hearing, Commissioner Goetz authorized Jamie Spears and co-conservator, Andrew Wallet, to sell a few of brit's cars. The exact makes and models were not available and it's not clear how many of the singer's cars will be sold.

But just for fun, let's think: there's the white Mini-Coup, the grey Audi, the black Mercedes, the white Mercedes and at least two leased black Escalades...

Co-conservator Andrew Wallet made the request today in court. Britney's court appointed attorney, Sam Ingham, was also there. His response to the request: "I have no objection to that."

Meanwhile, the commish also signed off on an extension to the conservator's restraining order against Sam Lutfi. The order remains in effect until April 16. As OK! reported yesterday, the request was granted swiftly and without a showdown because Sam reportedly agreed to having the order extended. Apparantly he thinks it's best for both him and the Britster.

And, our reaction to that, as it was yesterday, is: UH-HUH!

Brit's Back Behind the Wheel

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

It feels as like it's been years since Britney Spears was a constant fixture on the roads of Los Angeles, tooling around aimlessly for hours between Malibu, Beverly Hills and every luxury hotel, Starbucks and fast-food joint in-between. But it looks like the salad days are over for the L.A. traffic police, as the singer appears to gradually be getting her driving privileges back.


On Saturday night, Brit was back behind the steering wheel for her first solo drive in weeks. Hoever it should be noted that the pop superstar wasn't completely alone, as a security detail maintained a close eye on her in a separate vehicle the entire time. This came two days after her father Jamie Spears had allowed Britney to drive the car while he sat (possibly with clenched fists) in the passenger seat.

Until this past weekend, Brit had not driven a car since Feb. 6, the day she was released from UCLA Medical Center and immediately hooked up with boyfriend Adnan Ghalib to lead a phalanx of paparrazzi around Los Angeles before dead-ending at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where her father called an end to the freewheeling festivities.

This drive also reunited Britney with the Mercedes-Benz she abandoned with a flat tire in the middle of a busy Los Angeles street in early January.

Sam Lutfi Reportedly Demanded Money from Britney Spears

The following italicized article is taken from www.usmagazine.com:

Sam Lutfi "made various demands" of Britney Spears, "including demands for money," court documents in the singer's conservatorship case claim.

The revelation was part of a declaration submitted by attorney Jeryll Cohen, who is representing Jamie Spears, Britney's father and co-conservator.

Cohen said that Spears' business manager, Howard Grossman, told her of the "numerous emails" from Lutfi with the demands.

Cohen is seeking the dismissal of Grossman by Spears' conservators – Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet – because, in part, he will not turn over the emails despite a court order

Cohen's filing claims that despite a court order stating that Spears lacked capacity to retain an attorney, Grossman arranged for a meeting between Spears and Adam Streisand, an attorney who claimed to represented the singer.

Also, the declaration says that Grossman authorized one of Spears' Mercedes to be delivered to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel despite a court order to only release her cars to representatives of Jamie or Wallet.

With Jamie in charge, Lutfi was banned from contacting Spears.

Jamie and Wallet were named co-conservators of the singer's legal, medical, and financial decisions on February 1.

The court's decision to put them in charge was the worst-case scenario for Spears, sources told Us, as she has never been close to her father (who battled alcohol abuse during her childhood and was verbally abusive).

Spears was released from the UCLA Medical Center on February 6 after a week of treatment. She had been expected to remain hospitalized for another 10 days.

The singer was involuntarily committed to treatment for bipolar disorder on January 31.

Spears' Father: 'You Are Going To Die'

The following italicized article is taken from www.digitalspy.co.uk:

Britney Spears' father has warned his daughter that she is going to die after she refuses further psychiatric help.

Spears was allowed out of UCLA Medical Center 11 days early on Wednesday after a court found no "just cause" to keep her in.

However, her parents now fear a "tragedy" and have begged the court to reconsider its decision.

Jamie Spears, the singer's father, drove her to a private clinic, but according to The Sun, the popstar said: "I want my life back. There’s no way I’m going back in."

Britney then drove off in a Mercedes and threw out a hired security guard, before trying to check into the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The popstar's credit cards were initially declined but, according to US reports, she was eventually allowed a room on the second floor and joined her British boyfriend Adnan Ghalib for a drink.

Britney's father confronted her at the hotel, which reportedly prompted a shouting match between the pair.

"Britney’s dad begged her to go back to hospital. He told her he feared she would die if she didn’t get medical help," said a source."

She said she was so angry that they made her go to hospital. She screamed, 'You can’t control me'."

Brit's Conservators Can Shut Down Sam

The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:

The conservators who were appointed to manage Britney's assets have broad authority, including changing the locks to her house and keeping out anyone they want -- we're guessin' that's Sam Lutfi.

The judge granted the conservators - Jamie Spears and a lawyer as co-conservators - have the power to hire 24-hour security at her house, access her medical records and communicate with treating physicians. They also have the power to make any decisions on her behalf, and they can revoke any contracts she may have made recently - we're guessin' that includes the new Mercedes she just bought.

Britney Suicide Attempt - The Hours Before

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

After almost two days without sleeping, Britney appeared to be asleep at the wheel as she stepped out of her new Mercedes SLK this afternoon.

Just hours ago, Britney Spears stopped at Jerry's Deli in Sherman Oaks around 2 pm where attempted to meet up with her pap boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

When Adnan didn't leave the restaurant to come outside to meet Brit, she returned to her home and then drove back down the the restaurant moments later. Adnan came outside, got into Brit's car, and the two drove away with Adnan at the wheel. After a few minutes, Adnan pulled over, seemingly at Britney's request, and Brit took the wheel.

Brit then drove home, then to the Beverly Hills Hotel around 4 pm, where she met up with her pal Alli Sims. Britney and Adnan returned to Brit's Beverly Hills home around 8 pm.

---------------

Brit had changed outfits, donned and doffed her pink wig a couple of times, and slipped in and out of her British accent throughout her two-day marathon.

Britney's mother Lynne arrived in LA on Sunday to visit her daughter and assess her state of mind. Lynne has said she would attempt an intervention with Britney to get mental health assistance for her daughter.

Tension and confusion has been building between Lynne and Brit's pal Sam Lutfi and Britney's relationship with photographer Adnan has also been a concern for Lynne. Lynne was planning on leaving tomorrow or Friday but we imagine her plans may now change ...

Brit's Standoff With Sam

The following italicized article is taken from www.x17online.com:

Brit was in great spirits all evening - so what could have caused her to chew out her good pal Sam at 7am this morning?

After making a stop for Red Bull, Brit and pals returned to the Beverly Hills Hotel, only to emerge again around 6 am, where she headed back out, with Sam in the passenger seat.

But soon after they got to the Pacific Coast Highway, Brit decided she wanted to change places with Sam, who seemed a little frustrated at the seemingly aimless driving.

But just a half hour later, it was Britney who grew frustrated with Sam! The car stopped once again on Coldwater Canyon (not too far from her Beverly Hills house).

Having removed her wig, she demanded that Sam switch places again so that she could take over driving duties. But when Sam refused, Brit cursed him out in her British brogue (she may have removed the wig, but not the accent!), until Sam finally acquiesced and let her take over driving duties. With the sugary pink wig, did the sweet disposition go as well?

Taking control, Brit eventually drove the car the short distance home.

Hey, since the car's just a rental, it's no surprise that Britney would want to get as much time behind the wheel of that cute little Mercedes.

I guess what a girl wants, a girl gets!
