Well, its happened. Britney Spears has lost custody of her children. I think it was only a matter of time. The Federline’s were in court today and L.A. County Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon issued an order stating that Kevin Federline “is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 12:00 PM until further order of the court.”

The reasons given were Britney’s habitual use of drugs and alcohol. She also does not have a valid drivers license. She went ahead and turned custody over to Federline today.

She looks awful in this picture, but I have to say its undoubtedly better for the kids. I feel so sad for her that I’m not even going to mention that seeing her in that same pair of boots is getting really old and she looks like she’s in what she wore to bed last night. Actually, she looks like she’s been crying.

Who knows, maybe this is what it will take to straighten her out. Or she’s just crazy and can’t get straightened out. Either way, the kids need more stability than what she’s been offering them.

Who ever would have thought that Kevin Federline would end up being perceived as the better parent of the two?

X17 Online got some photos of Britney as she was taking the children to meet Kevin Federline’s bodyguards.

We just got this exclusive picture of Britney with her children (in the back of the car), taken just minutes before she handed them over to Kevin’s bodyguard. Britney took the boys through the Carl’s Jr. drive-thru on the way to her meeting point.

Update: Wait a minute! Why is she driving since she just left court and was scolded for not having a drivers license?

Update #2: Britney dropped the kids off and went to the tanning salon. So much for being grief stricken over losing her kids.
