From bad to worse - Britney Spears

Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for Britney Spears, it is revealed that her lawyers have dumped her. Her representatives have filed legal papers withdrawing themselves from the huge custody battle between the troubled pop princess and her former hubby Kevin Federline.

Although it’s hardly surprising after Britney failed to turn up to her rescheduled deposition yesterday. This makes it the fifth time this appointment has failed to happen in this case. Last month the Toxic singer claimed to be ‘too ill’ to attend, but was then snapped partying with pals that same evening.

A source says, “The fact that Britney didn’t show up was a factor in her lawyers’ decision to withdraw as counsel, but it was only one of many reasons. Her whole life has become insane and it’s impossible for anyone to get through to her.”

Oh dear.
