Britney blows off custody hearing
Continuing with the parade of Britney Spears’ erratic behavior, the fallen pop princess failed to show up in court today for a custody hearing. Perhaps it’s for the best, as an outside observer she doesn’t seem quite up to the whole parenting task right now…
A throng of photographers and reporters waited outside the downtown courthouse to see if Spears would come to what one attorney described as “the most significant hearing in the case so far.” Law enforcement officers watched over the scene.
But Spears has had trouble making recent legal dates: On Dec. 12, she called in sick for a court-ordered deposition, then arrived nearly two hours late at an attorney’s office on its rescheduled date, Jan. 3.
Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told The Associated Press on Sunday that he didn’t know if Spears would come at today’s hearing, and he indicated that it would be important for her to be there to take the opportunity to try to persuade the court restore visitation.
“You can’t phone this one in,” he said.
