Signs & Wonders: Britney Makes it to Court

It's a first -- Britney Spears has officially arrived at court today to ask for more visitation. No drama, no circling the block, no courtroom bailouts. She's there with her mom, her dad and her lawyer.

Even more shocking, she is reportedly NOT WEARING SUNGLASSES.

K-Fed should be there shortly as well, making this the first time the two will both sit in front of the judge at the same time.

This isn't a formal custody hearing or anything -- there probably won't be any significant changes to that arrangement until September, since K-Fed and his lawyer would like to make sure that Britney can keep it together for a few more months before agreeing to anything other than supervised visitation. (Brit doesn't even have overnight visits with the boys right now.) But they are open to more visits, just as long as it's a "slow ramping-up and not a spike."

From OK!

On the agenda for tomorrow's hearing is the matter of the pop star's long-awaited, court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, which should include detailed medical reports on her mental state, as well as observations on her parenting skills.

Sources close to the case reveal to OK! that the results are a "mixed bag" — Brit-Brit has finally learned how to make her boys the focus of her attention. But, says the source, doctors feel she still has mental issues to contend with.

The evaluation, which lawyers for both sides of the case have had for two week, and which will almost certainly be discussed in a closed court, exists to aid Commissioner Gordon in ruling on Britney's requests for more visits and possible overnight stays with her young sons.

The hearing and everything involved in the case is supposed to remain closed and out of the media. So now the real question is...will Brit's evaluation get leaked, or has the public appetite for violating every last shred of this girl's privacy and dignity finally died down?

"Even more shocking, she is reportedly NOT WEARING SUNGLASSES."

But is she wearing underpants?

I'm too distracted by my brain's insistent wondering on the two possiblities:

a)That, should Brit pop a fuse in the courtroom, Commissioner Gordon has the Batsignal handy so that he can call for reinforcements, and

b)The related puzzling over whether he strived to reach Commissionership solely to fulfill his greatest childhood fantasy, or if it was only an unfortunate mistake that his high school friends have made sure to tease him about AT EVERY SINGLE REUNION while he hides in a corner with his hands over his ears, screaming "I'll show them! I'll show them all!"; and

c)Whether I might be insane.

Yes, I know was three wonderings. Shut up. It's not my fault I was sent to California public schools.
