HOLLYWOOD - Troubled singer Britney Spears' visitation rights to see her two sons have been temporarily suspended after she was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for mental evaluation.
The 26-year-old was taken to the city's Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Thursday night following a standoff with police at her Beverly Hills mansion when she refused to hand over her boys to ex-husband Kevin Federline after a scheduled visit.
Spears is now being held at the hospital under Section 5150, meaning medics have reason to believe she is a danger to herself or others.
On Friday, a judge awarded Federline "sole legal custody and sole physical custody" of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, at an emergency hearing.
The custody order lasts until Jan. 14.
Following the 40-minute hearing, Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said, "There are no winners here... (I'm) not happy about any of the events that have happened."
Meanwhile, Spears' mother, Lynne, has asked her daughter's fans to "just say prayers" for the troubled star.
