Britney Spears made a brief exit from court just moments ago. The pop singer stormed out of the courtroom in an agitated state. She was yelling, "Eat it! Lick it! Snort it! F*** it!"

Spears lawyers ran after her, as did her former assistant, Alli Sims, who is with her in court.

Britney then returned to the courtroom, sobbing.

Hollywood's highest-profile custody case was back in court Friday, with Britney Spears arriving in her Mercedes convertible for a hearing to work out custody arrangements for her two young sons.

Her ex-husband Kevin Federline was also under court order to attend the Superior Court hearing.

Spears was spotted after arriving with a female companion and parking in an underground lot.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon made his ruling in spite of his concern that she is constantly courting "inordinate amounts of media," which he said runs counter to her expressed desire for privacy.

"I'm not chastising her," Gordon said. "She's an adult. But what I'm saying is someone who is always going to places where there is an inordinate amount of media, it doesn't square."

Dunlap countered that the pop star was not trying to create media attention.

"If she goes to Starbucks, there's media there. If she goes shopping, there's media there," he said.
