The drama began earlier that day at the child custody deposition, which distressed the star so much that she allegedly began drinking vodka as soon as she got home. The court-appointed monitor and Sims were with Britney at her Mulholland Drive home, trying to calm her down, but as Britney’s emotional state worsened she locked herself inside the master suite bathroom. Eventually, Sims used a hammer to break the door down and then called emergency services.

The police arrived at 8:30 p.m. after Britney reportedly refused to hand over her two sons to Kevin Federline's bodyguard.

Another factor in the meltdown? A source tells PageSix.com.com that Britney had recently “freaked out” on Kevin after hearing reports that he’d been flirting with her frenemy Paris Hilton.
“She is mad that he would get involved with her ‘so called’ friend,” says the source. “Kevin told her that Paris hit on him, but she did not believe him.”

Holy. Fuck. Vodka. Hammers. whoa...

I must admit, even when I imagined the inevitable Brit meltdown, I didnt think it would be this epic. I didnt think it would come complete with photos of Britney strapped to a gurney in full meltdown mode.

How much will Alli get paid to tell her "heroic" hammer story?

Funny how things change.....in the old days....histrionic personality disorder used to be called.....crazy as a shithouse rat.....

They got a disorder for everything nowadays....does that mean we all get a "I've-got-a-mental-issue-get-out-of-jail-free-card?"

ritney's Pap Pal Out of the Picture During Meltdown Drama

FRIDAY JANUARY 04, 2008 03:15 PM EST
Britney Spears and Adnan Ghalib Photo by: INF As Britney Spears suffered a terrifying meltdown on Thursday, one of her recent close companions was missing from the drama: Paparazzi photographer Adnan Ghalib.

The spiraling pop star, 26, has lately been keeping company with Ghalib, 35, who works for an agency called FinalPixx and who checked into two hotels with Spears over the last couple of weeks.

But sources say that as Spears was holed up in her Studio City home, Ghalib was not with her – nor has he visited her at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was hospitalized early Friday morning. When asked about Spears Friday, Ghalib would not comment.

However, Spears's family has been showing their support. Her father, Jamie, has been at the hospital with his daughter. Brother, Bryan was expected to show up Friday. Spears's mother, Lynne, who's been in constant contact with Britney, is in the family's hometown of Kentwood, La., with Spears's sister, Jamie Lynn.

Also at the hospital early Friday morning was Spears's ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

I am not going to wade back into the recesses of this thread, but didn't the reports say she was clean of drugs and alcohol? How could she test clean for booze if she had been swilling vodka all day???

Lynne Spears Speaks: 'Just Say Prayers'

FRIDAY JANUARY 04, 2008 02:10 PM EST
FRIDAY JANUARY 04, 2008 03:15 PM EST UPDATED
Lynne Spears Photo by: Chris Polk / FilmMagic Britney Spears's mother is asking for "prayers" following the news of her daughter's hospitalization.

On Friday, Lynne Spears was "extremely distraught" on the phone, and said, "Just say prayers," when reached by Access Hollywood.

Lynne, who's been in constant contact with Britney, and 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn have been in seclusion following the December bombshell that Jamie Lynn is pregnant. The two were spotted Friday afternoon arriving at their home in Kentwood, La., from an undisclosed location.

Meanwhile, the whole family is "terrified" about the situation, a source close to the family tells PEOPLE. "Everyone has been worried for some time," says the source. "Her world has been crumbling around her and this is another call for help. Her parents are just devastated. Nobody knows if they can take much more, but they're trying to be as strong as they can."

Spears's father Jamie was at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Thursday night, and her older brother Bryan was expected to show up Friday, according to a source.

Another family friend, Spears's former dance teacher Renee Donewar, tells PEOPLE, "I don't even know where Britney's head is. I thought she had already hit rock bottom. I can't imagine what's next." (PHOTOS: Britney in the ambulance.)

Donewar says she believes Britney will (and should) lose custody of her kids.

"She keeps digging herself deeper and deeper," says Donewar. "How can anybody say, 'She's been through a rough time and she should have her children.' She is not in a state of mind to have her children. She's confirming everything bad that people think. It is really a shame."

She added: "[Britney] was such a level-headed kid, she knew what she wanted, and she was determined to get it and to make it. Now she has it, and what is she doing with it?"

Added another family friend: "I just hope she'll pull out of this and get on the right road to recovery. A good rest here in Kentwood might do her some good."

I thought it was the monitor that called the cops when she refused to hand over the kids and locked herself in the room with JJ? Shit we will probably never know what REALLY happened. Alli should have got a hammer yeah, but she shouldve knocked that bitch in the back of the throat with it instead.

A rest in Kentwood? Hell they can keeper for good!

The way she treats her little boys is what makes me angry---it just makes me so ANGRY. I hope little JJ is okay.

As for Lynne: Prayers, you say? Ha. That's hilarious.
