Closed Hearing For Britney

The Los Angeles court commissioner who placed Britney Spears under her father's guardianship held a closed-door hearing on an emergency motion.

However, we are not being told what was said or even what the motion was about.

This comes just a day after the troubled mum-of-two was suddenly released from a psychiatric hospital then pursued through the city by paparazzi.

The unspecified motion was brought before Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz by the singer's father, James Spears, and lawyer Andrew Wallet, who is part of the conservatorship, court spokesman Allan Parachini said.

Mr Parachini would say only that the motion was unopposed.

In court were lawyers for James Spears, along with Mr Wallet and a court-appointed lawyer for Britney.

The singer was taken to a psychiatric hospital at UCLA Medical Centre on January 31 under police escort but was discharged on Wednesday against the advice of her psychiatrist and the wishes of her parents.
