The Britney Spears’ Chronicles with timelines of last night’s debacle

Published on February 7, 2008 at 8:23 AM

We were all surprised yesterday when at around 1:20pm PST: Britney is unexpectedly released from her court-ordered hospitalization after doctors inexplicably determine she is no longer a danger to herself or others.

The following statement was released to CNN’s Anderson Cooper by Britney’s parents:

“As parents of an adult child in the throws of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.

Here is an account of the wild night that ensued.  Thanks to OK! magazine for their help in recounting the timeline of events.  Times are PST.

2:00pm: Britney is driving around erratically the San Fernando Valley in her brand new black Mercedes-Benz, with a bodyguard, believed to be the same former Israeli military officer who bodyguards for Lindsay Lohan.  So much for the no longer a danger to herself or others diagnosis.

Around 3:00pm: The bodyguard in the car with Britney is evicted from the car by the side of the road in Brentwood, after several shouting matches with the paparazzi.  Brit asks a photographer from X17 photo agency to drive for her, and moves to the passenger seat.  Moral of story don’t mess with  Brit’s paparazzi friends.

3:15pm: Britney’s arrives at the Beverly Hills Hotel where she bumps into First Lady of California, Maria Shriver. Brit then cools her heels and waits  for a room.

4:40 pm: Adnan Ghalib arrives at the Beverly Hills Hotel in his Mercedes convertible for a booty call and is rushed up to Britney’s room by security guards.

4:47 pm: The cops arrive at the hotel, as rumors circulate that Britney’s parents are coming after her.

5:05 pm: Britney ducks out of the hotel in Adnan’s car.

Around 5:20 pm, Britney and Adnan visit the office of Spears’ new mouthpiece, Adam Streisand, hired to contest the conservatorship the court instated over the former pop star.  Obviously Brit’s priority seems to be to get free of her parents.

- Around 7:00pm PT, Britney sneaks out of Streisand’s office building and return to the Beverly Hills Hotel with the help of a paparazzo from Adnan’s photo agency, FinalPixx. The paparazzo gets the couple out of the building allegedly by hiding Adnan and Brit under a black blanket in the back of his car.

- Back at the Beverly Hills Hotel, police remain on the grounds as do a number of bodyguards who are keeping watch in the hotel’s parking garage.

- Around 9:00pm PT, Brit’s father Jamie Spears arrives at the Beverly Hills Hotel and waits in the lobby, looking very tired.  Within a couple of minutes, Jamie is approached by the concierge and a pair of men who may have been plainclothes police officers or hotel security officials, who led him to a private conference room, where Brit’s father showed them what appear to be legal documents. Jamie is likely asking for the hotel’s cooperation in getting his daughter back to her home.  I would imagine the hotel is happy to oblige.

- Around 9:20pm PT, more police arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel and begin gathering in the lobby, outside in the valet parking area and upstairs on the second floor of the hotel, where Britney and Adnan were holed up.

- At 9:30pm PT, Jamie Spears entered Britney’s room with what is believed to be legal documents in his hand. Meanwhile, down in the hotel’s private parking garage, a number of hotel guards are kept watch on Brit’s Mercedes.  Jamie finds himself face to face with the daughter who reportedly wants nothing to do with him. But somehow he is able to convince Brit to ultimately return to her home.

Sometime thereafter Brit and Adnan are driven to a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley and then to her home in The Summit where she and Adnan are currently staying with Jamie and Britney’s mom Lynne.

Look for Jamie Spears to be back in court tomorrow asking the Commish to put some more teeth in the conservatorship order.  I deeply feel for them, as for Britney not so much!
