Not a great way to win anyone's sympathy dept

Her lawyers want some sympathy for Britney Spears: "Britney Spears is a pop star, and you're not. That was the fallback position of Spears' camp during the latest custody hearing Thursday regarding the, well, pop star's two sons. Spears attorney Anne Kiley told the court that the, yes, pop star has failed to heed every call to the drug-test lab because she is a, yes, "pop star," who thusly is often out late at night, and frequently asleep when the drug-test lab rings in the morning. Additionally, Kiley said, Spears' pop-star stature requires her to frequently change phone numbers in order to make it harder for fans to track her down. The downside is that Spears' game of musical numbers also makes it harder for the drug lab to track her down."

Such a hard life!
