You don't say! Criss Angel says that the reason all his plans for her VMA performance got dropped was that they would have required some rehearsals. That didn't quite fit in with Britney's hectic schedule of Starbucks, tanning, and taking her kids hostage.

Speaking of which, she's supposed to show up in court today for a hearing to determine if she gets to see her kids again. Revoking custody isn't supposed to be a punishment for the parent, but something the judge does because it's in the best interest of the child(ren). I know that kids need their mother and all that, but not if the mother is batshit. I mean, you've got two toddlers who can't object if they get thrown back in a room with the woman who held them hostage* - one of many ways she has traumatized them and left them scarred for life. I mean, I just don't see how that's in the kids' interest. We'll see what the judge says.

*I know, she only held one of her sons hostage. Mother of the Year!
