Britney Fields Offer for Free Legal Aid While Her Parents Try To Have Her Committed

It’s a classic case of good news/bad news. The good news for Britney Spears is that someone actually wants to represent her in court—-for free.

Britney Spears—2008 Starts Off Less Than Great

So much for a new year, a clean slate, and a fresh start… Popwreck Britney Spears entered 2008 as pathetically as she exited 2007… and things don’t look as if they will be improving any time soon. For starters, yesterday Ms. Meltdown’s latest lawyer, Sorrell Trope, filed a court document asking a judge to remove him from Spears’ ongoing custody case with ex-husband Kevin Federline. “There has been a breakdown in communications between (Spears) and Trope & Trope (law firm) making further representation of her interests impossible,” says the document.
