The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services has begun conducting an investigation into allegations of child abuse against Britney Spears. Details are few thus far, but we do know that Britney and Kevin Federline's respective lawyers were called to court today for an unscheduled hearing, which included an attorney from the Los Angeles County Counsel. The exact whereabouts of Ms. Spears are not known, but she was pulled over by police on her way to Vegas this weekend, so it's possible she is still there. Kevin Federline, meanwhile, is in North Carolina shooting a guest spot on the TV show One Tree Hill. X17 has pictures of Sean Preston and Jayden James being taken care of by Britney's parents Jamie and Lynne at Federline's home in Tarzana over the weekend. The Crabster will try to stay up-to-date on more details as they come in, so we can all amuse ourselves at poor embattled Britney's expense.
