Britney showed up late to her deposition [1] on Thursday, but we didn't know how badly things were about to devolve. She was with her boys in the afternoon and supposed to hand them back to Kevin at 7 pm. Instead she apparently locked herself in her house with SP and JJ refusing to give them over [2]. Cops, ambulances and helicopters fought their way through the paparazzi mob to get to the door and try to reason with Britney. After a few hours, she was wheeled out on a gurney and taken to the hospital for a "mental evaluation." [3] While there are a lot of ways to point fingers in this situation, we still don't know the details of what exactly went down and clearly this debacle has reached a heartbreaking low.
Keep refreshing for more updates below.

Update: According to cops, she was "under the influence of an unknown substance." [4]

Update #3: According to OK! [5] Kevin and his lawyer are at the hospital with Britney. Sam Lutfi is also there as is Britney's father.
Update #4: Sean Preston came to the hospital with Kevin, but Jayden James was brought in a second ambulance, separate from Britney [6]. Poor baby.
Update #5: Britney is currently being held at Cedars-Sinai under a 72-hour suicide watch [7], and will undergo a mental evaluation later today. Sean Preston and Jayden James were released from the hospital [8] early this morning.
On the legal side of the subject, TMZ is reporting [9] that Kevin's lawyer Mark Vincent is headed to court at 8:30 this morning to try to get Britney's visitation rights fully removed, at least for the time being.
