Britney Spears "Strongly Advised" to Show Up in Court
Britney Spears isn't one to do what she's told, but let's hope she's taking in to consideration that her appearance at today's custody hearing could make or break her.
"Absolutely she's been advised to show," a source told People.com. "Her attendance is important." The hearing is set to focus on Britney's craziness that sent her to the hospital in an ambulance last week, after she refused to turn her kids over to Kevin Federline's bodyguards. Members of the police and fire squads, that showed up at Britney's house that night, are scheduled to testify at the hearing, as well.
Britney's lawyers might be afraid to put her in front of the judge, as she's a bit of a loose canon these days, but her lack of attendance in court would be even more detrimental to her case. "Whether she takes the stand or not depends on what witnesses say, and whether or not her lawyers think her testimony may backfire," an outside legal source said. "But they've got nowhere to go but up at this point. Also, if she doesn't attend, it shows a lack of interest on her part in getting back her kids." This should be interesting...
