Britney Spears Hospitalized After Custody Dispute!
Updated Jan. 4, 2008 @ 6pm/ET
Britney Spears was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Thursday night after 911 was called to the pop star's home after a nearly three-hour custody standoff involving two sons.Authorities were called to Spears' Los Angeles home around 8 p.m. after Britney reportedly refused to hand over custody of 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James to a bodyguard for their father, Kevin Federline. Britney allegedly locked herself in a bathroom with her youngest son and refused to come out.
Britney and K-Fed have been locked in a bitter child custody dispute, in which Britney is only granted supervised visitation. Federline has physical custody and showed up at Britney's house.
Britney appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance, according to Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department. No injuries were reported. However, according to reports, both toddlers were taken to the hospital for medical evaluation, with Jayden being transported via ambulance. Both boys are now with Federline.
Video shows Spears being taken out of her home on a gurney, loaded onto an ambulance and police cars escorting the emergency vehicle to the hospital.
Britney is expected to remain in the hospital for at least 72 hours on a "5150 hold," TMZ reports, which keeps patients in the hospital who are a danger to themselves or others.
"We aren't charging her with anything at this time," an LAPD spokesperson announced Friday. "She is at the [hospital] for her own health and welfare."
