For a group of L.A.-area kids with dreams of being a dancer, a lesson from a famous hoofer is a memorable experience — and when that dancer happens to be Britney Spears, it's sure to be a day they'll never forget!
And that's exactly what's happening Monday night at the Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood, where the recently troubled star is continuing to try to get her life back in order by doing what she does best — entertaining. Except tonight, it's not just a couple of friends or family members looking on as Brit rehearses for...

Sam Lutfi has come out of hiding! E! News has learned that despite the restraining order filed against him by Jamie Spears, Britney's been phoning her former manager/confidant for the last several days. Sam's response: "Not true."
She's not the only one who wants to reach out to Sam. Process servers can't seem to track him down—going on nine days now—but multiple sources confirm to E! News that Lutfi attended Paris Hilton's birthday party at Area on Saturday night...in plain sight!
Inside Area, sources tell E! News that "a relaxed...

The following statement was released to CNN's Anderson Cooper by Jamie and Lynne Spears, Britney's parents:
"As parents of an adult child in the throws (sic) of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter's safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders...

Britney Spears‘ legal team have failed in their attempt to remove her dad Jamie Spears from control of her estate - but in turn, he hasn’t been given the power to fire them.
Jamie Spears and lawyer Andrew Wallet were given co-conservator status over Britney in a hearing on Friday but her own lawyers with the firm Trope and Trope argue that the men aren’t suitable for the role. Trope and Trope, working with an estate lawyer Adam Streisand, claim Britney has a strong distrust and dislike of her father after years of bickering and has...

Britney Spears‘ fragile mental state is apparently taking it’s toll on Mama Lynne Spears. As Lynne and Papa Jamie Spears arrived at UCLA Medical Center yesterday to visit their daughter, an overzealous paparazzo gets a little too close for comfort and Lynne smacks the camera away as Jamie comes to her rescue and tells the cameraman to “Get out of her face…get out of her face…I mean now.”
As they leave the hospital, Jamie and Lynne can be seen arguing with someone through the window of a black SUV. Sam Lutfi maybe? He was seen in...

Britney's parents are going to court in an attempt to establish a conservatorship. They believe Lutfi is placing their daughter's health and assets at risk.
Lutfi says he is "appalled and disgusted" that the parents have gone to court, adding that "Britney is in control of her assets and her business manager is in control of her assets." Lutfi says his lawyers are discussing his legal options.
Sources say Britney's medical status right now is "gravely disabled."

Britney Spears' legal team has been instructed by the pop star's family not to talk to Sam Lutfi.
This move follows reports that the situation at Britney's Beverly Hills home devolved last night as Britney's parents argued with Sam, Britney's sometime manager, over her wellbeing.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ an L.A. County Superior Court judge has just signed a "5150," meaning Britney Spears is on a three-day psychiatric hold at the UCLA Medical Center.
We're told there is a "good possibility" that it will be extended to 14 days. We've also learned there have been several parallel attempts to get Britney on a 5150. Her lawyers, Anne Kiley and Tara Scott, secured a new psychiatrist late last week -- she's the one who triggered the 5150 last night.
At the same time, we're told Britney's mother, father and...

Britney's family and some professionals in her life have been planning a "creative way" to deal with her mental problems.
Last night, Brit's mom, Lynne, her dad, Jamie, cousin Alli, as well as Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib all showed up at Britney's house and were all there at the same time.
Brit's mom and dad (and others) have known for months that a bipolar disorder -- and not substance abuse -- is at the root of her problems. They cannot involuntarily commit her (impossible under these circumstances) and Brit has refused to voluntarily...

Britney Spears visited psychiatrist Deborah Nadel's Santa Monica home for about an hour on Friday. We suspect this is part of the court's mandate that Britney submit to psychological evaluation before the court will consider granting even partial custody to the star.
