Britney Spears' Custody Battle is Going to Get Real Messy Real Fast

Britney Spears is not in a happy place right now. The pop star has been feeling like a social pariah lately, having had been told by the staff at the exclusive Hollywood hot spot, the Chateau Marmont, that she is no longer welcome. After exhibiting some bizarre behavior, like smearing food on her face in the hotel's restaurant, she's been put on a special list of people no longer to visit the Chateau.

"She constantly looked out of it when she came in and the guests began to make noises. The hotel acted before she made a huge scene. No one wants to be banned from staying at the Chateau.

"If she was trying to make a real go of her comeback then the people who visit the Chateau are the ones who could make it happen."


But probably even more painful for Britney is the treatment she's receiving from her family. She felt very excluded last week, when her sister Jamie-Lynn and Mama Spears attended a birthday party for son Jayden, hosted by K-Fed. From News of the World:

"She feels she is being sidelined by her family. And she won't let that happen."
And it couldn't come at a worse time for Brit, with her basically in the eye of the hurricane that is her custody battle. All sorts of nonsense is going on with that, which you can check out after the jump...

With Britney's custody battle in full swing, she's terrified that more and more information about her out-of-control behavior will continue to leak out to the press, with so many from her camp receiving subpoenas to testify in the case.

"She realises that she did go wild, often leaving the children with the nanny to go out partying and it doesn't reflect well on her.

"Her breakdown will be used against her. And she's also worried that sleazy details of her sex life and alleged drug taking will emerge if there is a court hearing."


To make matters worse, Brit's lawyer for the case, Laura Wasser, has given her the old "buh-bye" treatment. TMZ is reporting that Wasser is set to officially withdraw her services from the pop star, right as the case is set to start. Britney has hustled to find a replacement for Wasser and has hired Marci Levine in her place. According to the site, Wasser's departure comes after Britney's repeated refusal to take her lawyer's advice. Dang. I think I smell a second breakdown right around the corner...
