Britney Spears' parents, Jamie and Lynn Spears arrived at L.A. Superior Court Friday afternoon. TMZ is reporting that they are there to try to create a conservatorship, which would allow them to make medical decisions on behalf of their daughter as well as control her finances.
Surrounded by lawyers — including their attorney Blair Berk — Lynne wore a white jacket; father Jamie was sending text messages.
There is no sign of Britney's manager Sam Lutfi or on-off paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.
The hearing underscores the growing tension between the Spears family and Lutfi, who has acted as the primary liaison between the singer and her doctors.
In a telephone interview with American magazine Us Weekly on Thursday, Lutfi blasted Britney's parents.
"Oh boy, her family is crazy!" he said. "It’s just so sad."
He said that the 26-year-old 'Gimme More' star doesn’t "trust anything that her family says. Not a g---n thing."
The hearing is set to begin at 1:30 PST.
Britney is being treated on the psychiatric ward at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.
She reportedly arrived at the hospital at 2.15am but was not admitted until 4.15am because she was screaming and shouting at staff and her parents.
The fallen pop princess is said to have accused mum Lynne of sleeping with her boyfriend, although she never said exactly who she was referring to.
She reportedly yelled: "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend.
"She wants to sleep with my boyfriend."
Britney is understood to be on a three-day psychiatric hold, which could be extended to 14 days.
She is said to have told hospital staff she was on Adderall, a stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder.
