Britney Spears Slapped With Restraining Order

Believe it or not, things have gotten even worse for Britney Spears. Following the tumultuous mental ward lockdown fiasco, the “Gimme More” singer earned herself a temporary restraining order.

Specifically, Brit was hit with an “emergency protective order” which lasts for five business days. And K-Fed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, confirmed that the LAPD took such action in order to “stabilize the situation.”

Police spokesman Mike Lopez explained, “The person it’s placed upon would have to stay approximately 100 feet from the other person, or face arrest. In most cases, it’s issued by officers when there’s the possibility of imminent and immediate danger to the victim.”

And Kaplan reassured the public (and Spears) that it’s not all about keeping the kids away from their mother. “Kevin doesn’t want to keep his kids from being involved in life. But foremost is that the kids be in an environment of structure stability. The next goal is to get things to a point where both parents are able to participate fully in their [children’s] lives.”

The “Piece of Me” singer was spotted out at a gas station on Sunset Boulevard in Bel-Air last night riding in her black Cadillac Escalade along with her assistant and her pooch, London. Since her little flat tire incident, Brit’s been giving her other vehicles a little time on the road.
