Experts Fear the Worst for Britney

Britney Spears has been issued a California driver’s license from the DMV.

“Extra” was there as Britney got the VIP treatment from a DMV pencil-pusher, who personally delivered Brit’s new license to her as she waited in her car.

The chaotic scene capped off a crazy day for Britney yesterday. At noon she shared a lunch of pasta and iced tea with cousin Alli at the Peninsula Hotel, then she reportedly had an evening photo shoot at Santa Monica’s Pier 59 Studios.

Then, just hours after getting her license, Britney got a late-night driving lesson from a mystery man.

“Extra” can reveal he’s a film producer named Sam Lufti who was with Britney when she lost temporary custody of her kids. He helped engineer the driver’s license handoff. Lufti’s MySpace page says he’s 33 and a native of Southern California.

Today the Spears saga moves to an L.A. courthouse, where Britney’s legal team will battle to get her kids back.

The fulfillment of her license requirement is a step in the right direction for the troubled star. Her failure to get it in time was one of the reasons a judge stripped her of custody.

But famed “Love Line” psychiatrist Dr. Drew Pinsky tells “Extra” he has worse fears for Britney than just losing her kids.

“There’s no doubt in my mind for Britney the worst is yet to come,” he says. “You're going to see marked escalation of drug use and/or this explicitly self-destructive behavior like cutting or suicide.”

Former New York prosecutor Jeanine Pirro says no matter what happens, Britney needs to realize her most important role is mother.

“She had every opportunity to demonstrate to the court that she was a good mother and she failed at every level,” she tells “Extra.” “I care about her taking care of those children and believing those children are coming first. I don't believe they're first.”

Don’t get me wrong I’m no fan of Britney Spears, but everyone is dogging her for partying when this weekend K-fed was out doing the same thing letting the nanny and bodyguard take care of these children. They need their parents in their lives, to love, nurture and raise them not some nanny and bodyguard. I do agree that Britney had some problems but every one deserves a second chance and to me K-fed doesn’t seem to be doing much better. he acts as if he cares so much what about when they were married he spent his time out partying then to and didn’t care about the kids then, but when Britney divorced hom he was going to lose all that spending money so all the suden hes Mr. Mom and cares so much bull****!! If you ask me those kids are no better off now than what they were before all he wants is attention from the media he is a f****** loser!

I believe that the court had no other choice, it seems that she could careless about her two little boys because if she did she would not be exploiting them, in front of the cameras, she should be protecting them and keeping them out of the public eye, the little boys are terrified of all the paparrazi taking pictures all the time, she has put them in harms way,she needs rehab and parenting classes, a good parent would not be acting like they haven’t got any sense. i just hope Kevin will do the right thing and keep his kids away from the public and away from the cameras because they surely don’t need to have their pictures taken and put in magazines people need to leave those little boys alone.

I think that her chldren being taken away from her was the best thing that could of happen to her. I’m a mom of 3 and I would fight Heaven and Earth to keep my children but her parting and always being gone from home is more important to her than her family. She brought all of this on herself and I feel no pity for her only for her boys. I think they are better off with the father.I use to like her but the sight and the sound of her makes me sick. Get a grip and be a mother. The boy’s can be really proud of their mom and all that will follow them when they get older. Britney you have alot of growing up to do, so just do it.

To be honest I think they did the right thing by giving the kids to Kfed Untill britney gets her head on straight..Coming from a mother … Those kids deserve the best of care… I wish Britney and her gamily the best!

What a shame!
She’s the only one who knows herself, and can help herself!! She knows she’s not herself(even we all see that she’s notherself)She’s not even considering what her family & friends are advising her on! To me, if more then one person was telling me the same thing… I would clue into it & do something about it! She needs to grow up & get off her high horse & realize that it’s not just about her anymore; but merely her precious children & herself!! She needs to be on her own until she figures it out. Maybe take examples from people like… Brooke Shields, Mariah Carey, Courtney Love… who did get the help needed!
I still love her! Bless her heart!

Ten years ago Princess Diana was hounded to DEATH. She was hunted to the ends of the earth. Now the same thing is happening to Britney. She can’t even go to the bathroom! I can’t imagine what that must be like. Can you?! I’m so sad for her. The boys might be better off now just because they aren’t going to be followed everywhere like with their mom. If we could all just leave Britney alone for awhile maybe she could get the help she needs. I really hope so. Take care of yourself, Britney, I wish you the best. Those 2 little ones love you and you need each other.

Another thing is that Britney SHOULD NOT GET HER KIDS BACK YET until she gets psychiatric help. She is mentally ill and needs to get that treated first. Yes, she loves her children but she is very capable of harming them if she does not get the help she needs. I know many of you want to feel sorry for Britney…”give Britney her kids back.”

I do too, but that is not wise right now.

And regarding K-Fed, yeah, I do not liek what he did to Shar Jackson and he will have that hovering over his head for years, but the same Shar Jackson is saying he is a great father.

What we have to do is weight the two…who is the more stable parent right now…Britney or K-Fed?

You be the judge…

I disagree with the previous post. Britney’s mother IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Britney’s MENTAL HEALTH is the problem. Britney’s mother sacrificed a lot so her daughter could fulfill her dreams. Britney was not pushed. Britney is having problems because of HER OWN CHOICES. She is a grown woman now and every choice she makes is HER FAULT, not her mother’s. Her mother right now is trying to look out for the best interest of Britney’s children and is even trying to get help for Britney. Britney and her mother were very close for a long time. It wasn’t until Britney’s mom did the RIGHT THING in making Britney go to rehab until Britney cut off her relationship with her mother.

I think Brittany does have issues although, I think a lot of her issues stem from her mother pushing her into the spotlight and living through her. She’s now a rich mother as she had always dreamed and now look at her daughter. She has totally let this happen. As far as K-Fed goes, we all already know what kind of daddy he is. He up and left Shar Jackson when she was pregnant for Brittany, what kind of man is that. He’s not with his other kids why these? He was with her for the fame just like her mother. The poor girl, how can she not be a mess. Thank God her sister and brother are trying to be supportive. Does no one else love or care about this girl other than what she can do for them? It’s ridiculous! If I had a mother like Lynn Spears, I’d be on suicide watch too! She is a pitiful excuse for a mother, absolutely pitiful! Brittany, I hope you get your precious babies back. All kids need their mommies, just as you needed yours except you can still be a part of your childrens lives if you just get help. Do it for them, don’t be like your mom or you’ll have the same relationship with your boys and I know you wouldn’t want that. Good luck! I wish you the best, I really do. Lynn and K-Fed, back off and let this poor girl get her head on straight. Everyone wants to pick on her but, they aren’t seeing anything about K-Fed and how he’s living because, who is K-Fed? We don’t care and why does the media insist on ripping this poor girl apart. I guarantee that if you watched him 24/7 he would be into just as much as she is but, no one cares to know it. He was a nobody before Brit and still is! Dead beat daddy for sure, looking for a free ride!

Britney is a good mom I am confident. She is troubled now for sure and that could be a danger to the kids. However, I feel she should not loose the kids totally. A mother’s love is singular. This is one tough question~!

Britney could have voluntarily sent the kids to Federline and be castigated as a mother abandoning her kids. Or she could have the court order her to hand over the kids to Federline and gain some sympathy for having to do so. She turned over the kids two days early. Either way she is now free to continue to live her life as she pleases without having to deal with the rugrats on a daily basis.

HAVING TWO BABIES BACK TO BACK HAS NOTHING WITH THE WAY THAT BRITNEY IS BEHAVING SHE JUST REALLY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ANYONE BUT HERSELF AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE BEING A PARENT IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD AND I WOU;LD NOT TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD THREE KIDS IN THREE YEARS SO SHE CAN NOT USE THAT AS A REASON FOR HER BEHAVIOR. YES HAVING KIDS THAT SMALL AND THAT CLOSE TOGEATHER IS A HANDFULL. HOWEVER SHE HAD A NANNY TO HELP HER OUT.

I THINK THAT THOSE BOYS ARE BETTER OFF WITH THERE FATHER AT LEAST HE HAS THE TIME TO CARE FOR THEM.
BRITNEY HAS SHOWN NO REAL MOTHERLY CARE SINCE SHE HAD THE BOYS SHE IS NEVER HOME AND THE BOYS WHEN THEY ARE WITH HER ALWAYS LOOK TERRIFIED. ANY MOTHER WHO HAS THE NERVE TO DRIVE DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH HER INFANT ON HER LAP SHOULD HAVE HER CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY FROM HER REGARDLESS OF WHO SHE IS. JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A STAR THE POWERS THAT BE SEE FIT TO LET HER OFF WITH A WARNING THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING IN THE WORLD IF THE COURTS DIDN’T HAVE THERE HEADS WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE THEN WE WOULD NOT BE HEARING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THE BOYS WOULD ALREADY BE WITH SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND SAFE FOR THEM.
