Wow. This has made facinating reading this morning. Apparently there was live video & everything. Here's a quick timeline of the events:

11:32am: Britney, in a bright fuschia halter dress and heels, arrives over 90 minutes late to her final chance to give a court-ordered deposition in her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline. She is only able to be deposed for approximately 14 minutes.

12:20pm: Brit arrives back home at her gated community, The Summit. Her sons are there for their scheduled visit, as is a court-appointed monitor.

7:00pm: K-Fed's security team arrives to pick up boys Sean Preston and Jayden James and bring them back to their father's house. When there is a delay in releasing the boys, Britney's assistant Carla makes excuses for the pop star. However, it soon becomes clear that there is a problem.

At some point, 2-year-old Sean Preston is removed from the house, leaving only little Jayden inside with his mother.

8:00pm: The police are notified of a custodial situation at Britney's house and officers are dispatched to The Summit. But when they arrive, they find that the court-appointed monitor, who has been locked out of the house, is not in possession of the paperwork required to allow them to enter Britney's house.

9:20pm: K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan arrives at The Summit with the required paperwork. He and five police cars enter the gated community and drive up to Britney's house.

10:30pm: More than a dozen police officers, as well as two ambulances and a handful of fire rescue trucks are now on the scene. Sometime before 11:00pm, Britney's cousin Alli and Brit's assistant Carla leave the house, leaving Brit alone with Jayden James.

11:45pm: Britney is taken out of her home strapped to a gurney and placed into an ambulance, which is escorted by 13 police cars with sirens blaring to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, arriving at approximately 12:30am. Jayden is brought to the hospital in a separate vehicle.

Police officers are inside the ambulance with Britney during the ride to the hospital. While nothing official has been stated on the topic, this is generally a sign that the patient is considered to be in police custody.

"We are concerned about her mental state and believe she may be under the influence," an LAPD officer revealed to OK! at the time of Brit's arrival at Cedars-Sinai.

Britney, who had been sobbing when taken from her home, appears distant and erratic as she is escorted out of the ambulance and into the hospital. "Her eyes were like pinholes," another witness recalls to OK!.

Already waiting at the hospital's Emergency Room is K-Fed and his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, who tells OK!, "I actually don't know what is going on."

Britney's pal Sam Lutfi followed the ambulance to the hospital and was initially denied entrance to see his troubled friend.

There is no sign of Britney's newest boy-toy, photographer Adnan Ghalib.

1:15am: A surprise guest arrives - Britney's estranged father Jamie Spears. The two had not seen each other in at least eight months. It is unknown as of now whether or not Britney's mother Lynne, pregnant sister Jamie Lynn or brother Brian are on their way to L.A.
For now, sources are telling OK! that the plan is to keep Britney under guarded observation for 24 hours and then book her for as-yet unnamed offensives.

3:45 a.m.: Cedars source confirms that Spears remains under observation as a "special needs" patient.

Pictures of her being put in the ambulence.

Gracious. What can you say? It's obvious she has serious problems.

Wow she certainly appears to be struggling with something. That is to bad she is so young and so are her little boys.

I hope that she gets better. How sad!

This girl needs our prayers. She's in very bad shape.

Things just seem to keep getting worse for her. I don't understand why she isn't getting help. I know you can't force a person to quit taking drugs but it seems like she could be hospitalized for being a danger to herself.

I wonder what she is on to have such a dramatic behavior change these past couple years? Scary to watch someone deteriorate the way she has.

I watched an interesting show on E! about Brittany, last weekend, and it really changed my perspective. My impression is that she doesn't have (and never had) the support system you and I enjoy. Without that and with her very early fame . . . well, there but for the grace of God . . . (you know the rest).

I just read, according to an early report, that there were no drugs or alcohol in her system. I have someone very close to me that is bipolar and I have always thought that Britney's problems are related to that and not to substance abuse. If you have never been around someone when they are not on meds let me tell ya it is a very wild ride. My heart goes out to Britney and her children, she needs one person in her life to love her unconditionally and to guide her thru this mess, unfortunately she only seems to have users around her.

She needs help and I agree her family is of no use. Honestly at this point she needs to not have custody of her children and needs to focus on making herself well, whatever that entails.

I'm speechless. The picture of her two little boys in the car holding hands keeps floating around my head. Am I wrong in thinking that Britney's parents and other family members need to get together and help. Put aside differences and petty crap and help their daughter. I don't know why but I feel anger towards her parents. If my mother were alive she would be up my butt 24/7 until I got every ounce of help I needed to function in this crazy world. Maybe I'm feeling too much residual crap from my youth but this whole situation makes me very sad.

I remember reading that her Mom and family did some kind of an intevention that sent Brittney to rehab. After she was out, she blamed her Mother for it and decided that she would cut off ties to her and not allow her to see her children. Her Mom only got to see them when they were with Kevin. I believe a few months back her Mom & Sister flew to LA to be with Brittney when she was going through her custody battle of her kids, where she lost custody and was only granted supervised visitation. Whatever or whoever is to blame, and I'm sure there are many in her life, IMO she remains a troubled young woman which unfortunately happens to too many of the young celebrity figures.

Yea, I read smut magazines, can't ya tell Very Happy

I love me some smut magazines too Jack'd. Just when you think things can't worse for the Spears, they do.
