Since Britney Spears and Kevin Federline split, the pop star's troubles have played out in the tabloids -- photographs at Hollywood hotspots with Paris Hilton, partying without panties, impulsively shaving her head, raging at a car with an umbrella, and spending a month in rehab.  Last month, the judge ordered the pop star to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing custody battle with Federline.  Then what was supposed to be a comeback MTV Video Music Awards performance made Britney the butt of endless jokes, and the following week, her management firm dropped her and her divorce attorney resigned.  And on Monday, Britney hit rock bottom when she was ordered to temporarily relinquish physical custody of her children to Federline by a judge who had cited a troubling lifestyle fueled by drugs and alcohol.  Could Britney be at risk for suicide?  Plus, Dr. Phil will share insight into the Britney story from the inside. And, Spears’ former bodyguard who says he spoke out to protect her children, will tell Dr. Phil what led him to go public. If it's happening now, Dr. Phil is going to talk about it now! Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

  I can not find anything on your site about when the show you bumped will be aired?  Is it available to buy it?  Will you post the date on your site when you will show the episode with WaltAndNita?

Kevin a good parent PLEASE

Quote From: ravensday25

What happened to the Britney that we used to just love? I couldnt believe that she turned out like this. She needs some serious help and i think Dr. Phil is that one that can really get through to her.  I am not quite sure though if Kevin is any better.... or if he is actually going to be any better for the children then Britney has been. I really hope it works out for her, but honestly she doesnt seem to care much at all!!! cant wait to watch tomorrows show!  I love Dr. Phil!!!

Brittney changed when she started seeing Kevin.

The drugs, drinking all out of hand from Kevin.

Why doesn't anyone see this.

Who are these people who suppositly know her or follow her career, yet not see what she had done since being with Kevin.  He set her up, he knew she would fall to every one of his whims, all he had to do was threaten to leave.  Dr. Phil you have worked with controlling boyfriend, husbands before, how about seeing Kevin in this light and from this learn how to help Brittney.

That's the point

Quote From: woundedknee43

I definitely think that Ms. Spears in heading down the same path as Anna Nicole.  Her and Kevin's children are going to be put in the public's eye from now on.  Like Anna, drugs and alcohol ruled her life.  Now her mother wants to step in and again, with big stars, the dollar signs are running her through her mind.  I think that Anna's mom is no better than Keven because it is obivious the money is a big factor.  Anna broke ties with her mother and wanted her children to have nothing to do with her.  If Britney keeps on the destructive path as Anna did, she will surely end up like Anna.  No one has stepped in to do anything to help either one of them, and where are they now?  Only people that have positive effects on Britney.

Britney surrounds herself with people who want to be around someone who is famous, and now someone who is famous for being infamous.  She must think that any publicity is good publicity since she has her new purfume out and her new song out, but people think she is crazy, a bad mother, and a drug addict and a lot of bad things.  We don't really know what the case is, but we do know that she is using bad judgement and making herself look very foolish.

 

People for the most part are not trying to glorify Britney or pay too much attention to another spoiled brat, I think that they see a person who really needs help and are trying to say to her "Wake Up" and change what you are doing right now!

 

Kevin is not necessarily a better parent; he is probably looking for more money.  He doesn't have a real job.  Britney has spent most of her life not being a normal person living in the real world and now she needs to have some people help her to live her life to have a life outside of the Hollywood scene.  She choose to become a mother and when she made that choice, she needs to realize that she has to get out of the limelight for a while and schedule her appearences carefully so the kids can have a more normal life.  She has to make choices that consider them and consider her own health and sanity and her image.  She is sending out the message that she is defiant, but a lot of stars are all dead now Britney.  We get it!

 

Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and many others should clue you in by now.  We get it, why can't you?  You have to decide if it is all worth it. You don't seem to care what people think of you, well your sons are people too.  And they will have to live with your choices.  People will just give up and stop trying to help you after all of this if you cannot clue in that all of this is meant as people trying to get a message to you to stop doing what you are doing for your own sake.

10/04 Britney Breaking News

The message from everyone is about what Brittany needs to do to get her kids back.  What if she just doesn't want to be a mother and doesn't want the responsibility.  Maybe her behavior is a result of the guilt she may feel if that is truly the case.  As we all know, in our society it isn't acceptable for a mother to not have her kids in the case of divorce, or in any other case for that fact.  We're looked at as bad mothers.  Could it be that she has turned to these bizarre behaviors to become the "bad" mother that she may feel she is for not wanting to have custody of them, or maybe for not wanting them at all?

Dr. Phil, you have NO CLUE what you are talking about!!

"It has been my experience that you have to REALLY screw up in order for the family courts to go in and remove a child from the Biological mother."  Dr. Phil

 

Dr. Phil:

 

I am a GREAT mother that lost custody of my son.  As a matter of fact, I am a group owner for mom's that lost custody.  There are tons of us!  And we didn't do any of the things Britney did!  In a nutshell, I lost custody because the father and I did not get along.  And apparently the judge liked him better.  But my son is NOT happy about the situation.  He had to change schools and he misses his older siblings. 

 

I wish you were right about having to do something REALLY screwed up in order to lose custody.  But unfortunately, you must be stuck in the past because you have NO CLUE what you are talking about!!

 

I'm so upset that you said that because all of us MOMs that have lost custody to dad's have already been judged and labeled by other mom's.  We are perceived to be unfit mothers, drug users, losers.  Something must be really screwed up about us, right?

 

I use love your show.  I have watched every episode.  I watched you on Oprah on Tuesdays.  But I think I'm done being a Dr. Phil fan.  And I think all mom's that have lost custody to fathers should stand up to you! 

 

Now I have heard you say a couple of screwed up things about the justice system that are totally wrong.  Maybe you should talk to people that have been screwed over by the courts!

Help Brittney

I watched the Dr. Phil show about Brittney Spears.  I feel very bad for her.  She is in the news no matter what she does.  She needs help.  She is a mixed up girl.  Maybe the BABY BLUES who knows.  Apparently the therapy she is getting is not working.  I would love to see Dr. Phil help Brittney.  I think he can really find out what is going on since he doesn't mess around and gets to the problem.  I don't know if he reads these posts but if he does I wish he would help her.  PLEASE.

She is a good person and needs her kids back after she gets better.

Britney changed after Justin

I don't think it was K-fed that changed Britney.  It was pretty weird of her to marry a buddy from La to see what it was like to be married.  That was before Kevin.  I think that after she lost her teenage love Justin her life spiraled downward.  I feel as if Justin has held that over Britney's head.  He has constantly reminded her that she could have had him if...  It wasn't just the loss of Justin but the ungentlemanly way that he let the world in on her secrets.  It was not enough to kiss and tell by doing a video recount of their breakup, but he is constantly writing new songs about how she messed up and missed out.  Imagine not being able to turn on the radio without hearing your past sins come back to haunt you?  Shame on Justin.  Grow UP!

Judges Orders

Everyone keeps stating, what they are doing is in the "best interests" of these kids.  There was also a lot of talk on the show that day about Judges Orders and how those CANNOT be ignored and must be obeyed.  The one thing that stuck out to me on the show that day was the one shot of those poor kids in their moms(Britney) car and all those photograhers around them.  Those kids looked, especially the older son, looked horrified, it was sooooo sad, his little face, he was crying, I did not like it.  As a mom I don't know how Britney could take that, popstar or not, that's TOO MUCH. 

 

Why in holy name does the Judge not grant a "Court Order", "Judges Order", whatever its called so that these photograhers, during this whole custody thing, must stay away from those poor kids and their mother.  Wouldn't that be in the "best interests" of those kids?

10/04 Britney Breaking News

Quote From: gungrabbergirl

Up until recently I worked for our county Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, and in Arkansas, as well, you can only be committed if you are a danger to yourself or others. It's not a simple matter of getting someone and taking them to a facility. Although if you're a celebrity it might be easier to get into treatment, for regular people, it's a bunch of paperwork and a court hearing along with witnesses...the whole thing. Almost a mini-trial. Like you, I'm suprised Dr. Phil would suggest this. Putting your baby on your lap while you drive is not the worst thing a mom could do to cause a judge to render her a danger to others and thereby commit her.  As for anything else, there will need to be reliable wittnesses and proof that she's a danger to herself and her children.  The Courts demand a higher standard of proof than just watching some clips and coming to a conclusion. unless I missed something in the show, which is entirely possible, I think he missed it on this point.
 Is in not against the law, in Arkansas, to transport babies in car seats? Here, in Geargia, not securing a child in a car seat is considered child endangerment. Especially if the child is riding in the driver's lap! And, driving on the wrong side of the road with her children in the car! Who,  in their right mind, wouldn't consider that child endangerment. That, and the drug and alcohol abuse, suggest she's nothing but a danger to her children. If not herself as well. Anyway, people often go involuntarily into rehab. Espcecially when jail time is their only alternative. So, why not psycho-therapy?  She needs more than rehab. Epecially the "celebrity" variety found in such dubious places as "Promises" in Malibu.

10/04 Britney Breaking News

Quote From: woundedknee43

If Brittany's problems are going to be the blame of her parents, then shouldn't they be credited for the parenting of Jamie Lynn?
 I'm not sure how well their parenting Jamie Lynn. If the accounts I've read over the years are credible, I think they've let her spend too much time with Britney, under her influence. And, I'm not sure of the veracity of this, either, but I've also read a recent account of Jamie Lynn buying, and taking, a pregnancy test. The test reveal that she wasn't pregnant. But, it does suggest that she's already become sexually active. If so, she's still awfully young for that.
