While you were at lunch, K-Fed's lawyer used an emergency hearing to petition—and get—full custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Brit was also stripped of her visitation rights.

No surprise, additional details surrounding the Britney Spears meltdown tragedy just keep getting uglier and uglier... 
  • Brit's former assistant Alli Sims had to break through a bathroom door to reach the singer. According to Page Six, Alli used a hammer to reach Brit and Jayden and then called emergency services. (A claim Alli denies to Us.) She had reportedly  been at the house ever since an allegedly distraught Spears returned from a custody deposition, and she was trying to calm her down. The cost of a new door is nothing compared with the therapy bills Jayden's gonna require after this.

  • One-year-old Jayden was taken to the hospital after the incident Thursday night. A family insider tells Page Six Britney had told officers he had a bruise on him, adding, "And she said she did not do it." He was examined, but he didn't require treatment and was released into Kevin's care.

  • Once Britney reached the hospital, she was processed by a nurse and then stripped, and her clothing and personal belongings were locked away in a safe, purportedly to prevent her from harming herself, according to Page Six. The singer was then examined by a psychiatrist concerning her mental state.
     
  • Paparazzi leech Adnan Ghalib may have spent a lot of time with Britney lately, but he wasn't there yesterday, nor has he visited her at Cedars-Sinai, according to People. Thankfully, her father, Jamie Spears, and pal Sam Lutfi have checked in on her. Hey, even if they have been feuding, we're happy she has family to lean on. The girl's gonna need 'em now more than ever.
