Britney Custody Hearing Gets Off to Low-Key Start

Posted May 6, 08 3:13 PM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Britney Spears attended a custody hearing today, and the scene at the courthouse was surprisingly calm, People reports. The singer looked distraught during a recess, but she appeared to be in higher spirits returning to the courtroom. Because she remains under the conservatorship of her father, the court is unlikely to give her custody of her two young sons, despite her recently improved behavior.
