12/02/2007 - Britney Spears - © David Gabber / PR PhotosTMZ.com reports that attorney Tara Scott from Trope and Trope wrote, "There has been a breakdown in communications between [Britney] and Trope and Trope making further representation of her interests impossible." Trope and Trope expanded their reasons for the withdrawal due to Britney ignoring her lawyers' advice, and that her overall behavior was undermining her legal case.No word on whether Britney has retained new counsel.TMZ.com notes that Laura Wasser quit Britney as well.Spears is still shacking up in hotels with the paparrazo she picked up during the holidays, Usmagazine.com reports that the pop star, wearing a black wig and dark sunglasses, and photographer Adnan Ghalib, 35, checked into the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs around 2 a.m. on Jan. 2 – and then checked out around 7 a.m.This isn't the first time 26-year-old Spears has spent time in a hotel with Ghalib – Spears has developed an intimate relationship with the photographer who told Us in September, "I'll get her sooner or later". Last week, Ghalib comforted her at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Geez, what's it take to hold Britney accountable for her actions. The selfish, unfit parent _clearly_ doesn't want her kids. Why won't anyone expedite the process to protect them???????

Child endangerment; contempt of court; anything that will stick.

Well gang we all make choices and who are we to judge another human being just because she does not fit the criteria of some biggots who think they are better than her or god or whomever! Yes I feel Brit has a rite to live however she so desires! When will America get off its high horse and start paying attention to what is at hand,and that is the American dollar! Folks we are on the edge of the GrandCanyon and the dollar will fall in thanks to Bush and his cronies!!!
