FameCrawler : Britney Spears loses custody

A.J. McLean (Who?) Reaches Out To Britney Spears

I have no idea who A.J. McLean is. For all I know, he could be Jonny Fairplay's baby. Come to find out he's one of the Backstreet Boys, which apparently means he's fully-qualified to counsel out-of-control popstars.

McLean tells People magazine, "I believe in her 110 percent, but she needs to call [me]. If her publicist or somebody can get in touch with me, I just want to sit down with her and have it out."

Asked what he would say to Britney, he says, "First I would say, 'What the hell is wrong with you?' Second I would say, 'What is really wrong with you? What are you not saying to everybody else?"

To which Britney might reply to McLean, "What the hell is wrong with you? What is really wrong with you? Why are you wearing so much eye makeup?"

Britney Spears: Honey, I Lost The Kids

Like many people, I'm feeling pretty sad for Britney's sons, Sean and Jayden after a judge ordered them removed from their mother's custody. I was also feeling bad for Britney, until I read about some of the reasons L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon came down on her so hard. According to documents obtained by TMZ, she was give plenty of chances to keep the 50/50 custody agreement as it was, but ignored the court at every turn. Including the following:

She was ordered to submit to drug testing, which she didn't do
She was ordered to meet with a drug counselor, which she didn't do
She was ordered to enroll in parenting classes, which she didn't do
She was required to sign the judge's order (couldn't find a pen?), which she didn't do

And the last straw? Last Friday Commissioner Gordon prohibited Spears or Federline from driving the children unless they had a valid California Driver's license. Today Gordon saw video of Spears driving her kids around Malibu and decided to take action. Doesn't Britney know not to mess with the Commish?

Should Britney Spears Be on Suicide Watch? The Nanny Thinks So

The decision by an L.A. judge to hand over custody of Britney Spears' two sons to Kevin Federline shocked many, but one person isn't surprised. A former Spears' nanny tells OK! Magazine, "It's about damned time."

But she warns that Spears should be watched carefully in the next few days. "I’m just hoping that something doesn’t happen between now and Wednesday. She’s definitely capable of doing something stupid.”

Is anyone close to Spears watching and listening? Because the whole situation, while clearly expected by many is still sad for everyone involved, especially the kids. Let's hope it doesn't get worse.
