Britney Spears and her mother Lynne reportedly got into a physical altercation last month after Lynne showed up at Britney's place demanding to have some time with the grandkids. Unfortunately, the producers of Cops were not on-hand at the time to record the whole thing for posterity, or we would've had some kicking video.
According to Star Magazine, the slapfight between Brit and Lynne led directly to the now-famous public paper-handing on the set of Jamie Lynn's TV show. But Lynne is apparently not bitter about what went down between her and her darling Brit Brit - in fact, she's more concerned than ever now about Britney's health. According to Lynne, Britney is suffering from depression and needs to be on medication - you now, besides booze and laxatives.

So is Britney depressed or just plain-old-everyday crazy? A new report from Page 6 would seem to support the latter. According to that venerable gossip institution, Britney has fired pretty much everyone, and is currently serving as her own manager and publicist. Yes, apparently Britney's displays of bizarre public behavior and dubious fashion sense are not merely the actions of a stupid nutbag - they are in fact her publicity strategy. And, considering how much play she gets in the tabs and blogs, it appears her plan is working. Scary.
