Britney Spears somehow managed to regain visitation rights on Friday, despite her penchant for missing drug tests and showing up five hours late for court all the time. Viva justice! According to People magazine

The singer on Saturday was spotted driving with her children in Studio City, Calif., in her white Mercedes convertible, which was decorated with pumpkins on the dashboard. A presumed court-appointed monitor was seated in the front seat, with her sons in the rear.

Notice anything different about Britney in these pics? Take a good look at her ridiculously huge lips. She was photographed leaving a medical building in Santa Monica on Friday with one hand subtly clamped over her newly engorged mouth. She kept that that oh-so-subtle hand over her mouth all the way to her car, and she held it there extra-subtly while attempting to back out of a parking space one-handed. Which of course ended with her running over a paparazzo’s foot (hand still over the mouth) and then peeling out without seeing if he was alright (yep, still there!). I think that’s what they call Erikson’s “Trust vs Distrust” stage of development. You know, like peek-a-boo — if you can’t see it, then it’s not there! Or maybe it’s Lennie’s “Retard vs. Complete Fucking Dumbass” stage. I’ll have to cross reference my psych textbook with “Of Mice and Men” to know for sure.
