Britney Heads To Court For Impromptu Hearing

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Britney Spears spent her Friday in court, Access Hollywood has learned.

The pop star headed to the downtown LA courthouse on Friday afternoon, for what a court spokesperson said was an “ex-parte hearing” concerning her conservatorship.

Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, accompanied his daughter, as well as several sheriff’s deputies.

Among the items discussed during the hearing was Britney’s career comeback, specifically about her plans to tour in support of her new album, “Circus.”

At no point during the two-hour hearing did Britney raise the issue of altering or ending her conservatorship under her father.

This marks the first time Britney has appeared for a conservatorship hearing. Her other recent court appearances have been to discuss custody issues of her two sons.

In a promotional appearance on New York’s Z100 radio station in September, the singer confirmed she will take her upcoming sixth artist album, “Circus,” on the road.

“Definitely,” she said when asked about hitting the road. “Probably around the world.”
