Hours after Britney Spears was rushed to the hospital on a gurney, Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan called an emergency meeting in the couple’s ongoing custody battle Friday morning at L.A. Superior Court.

Spears’ attorney, Tara Scott, was also present.

A rep for Kaplan told reporters, “Due to the circumstances, Mark Kaplan will not be making any statements to the media today.”

A source tells Us Kaplan planned to ask the judge to strip Spears of visitation while she’s on a 72-hour lockdown at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai hospital. She has been labeled a “special needs” patient, a hospital source tells Us.

After she was taken to Cedars-Sinai Thursday (following a nearly three-hour custody standoff involving her sons), LAPD Officer Jason Lee told City News Service that Spears appeared to be under the influence of an “unknown substance.”

Last September, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon called Spears a “habitual, frequent and continuous” user of alcohol and controlled substances, and ordered her to undergo twice-weekly random testing.

Two weeks later, she was temporarily lost of custody of her sons; Federline now retains physical custody.

Kevin Federline took the kids from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to his Tarzana home on Friday morning, after his ex Britney Spears was hospitalized overnight.

Custody of their children, Preston and Jayden, was transferred over to Federline when Spears, 26, was taken out of her home on a gurney and rushed by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai. Police said she was “under the influence of an unknown substance.”

Amid all the hateful, untrue rumors of family turmoil following Jamie Lynn Spears’ decision to talk exclusively to OK! about her shocking surprise pregnancy, the 16-year-old star has received some support from a very unexpected source — Kevin Federline.

Sources close to the Spears and Federline families reveal exclusively to OK! that Kevin, who was married to Jamie Lynn’s sister Britney and is currently embroiled in a nasty custody battle with the troubled pop star, has reached out to his former sister-in-law and her mother Lynne as they face the ordeal of being in the scandal spotlight.

“Kevin has long thought of Jamie Lynn as a little sister,” a Federline family member shares with OK!. The wannabe rapper spoke with Lynne before the baby news dropped and, according to the source, “he was heartbroken because he was concerned about what it would mean for Jamie Lynn’s future.” But now that the dust has begun to settle, “he just wants to be part of the support system.”

Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline partied together for a third time in a row at Club LAX in Las Vegas last night. Boy, these two are getting awfully cozy lately. Anyone thinking they’re getting too chummy? Or is it just me?

We all know that Paris has said that she was looking for a boyfriend for Christmas. Maybe pizza boy Alex Vaggo isn’t good enough anymore?

The unlikely duo of Kevin Federline and Paris Hilton caused heads to turn in Las Vegas over the pre-New Year’s weekend.

On Sunday, the duo partied together for the second night running.

Both were in town to host separate New Year’s Eve parties – hers at LAX, his at Tangerine – but each name attraction started celebrating early, hitting LAX on Saturday and Pure Nightclub on Sunday.

A source close to Federline told PEOPLE that the two hung out in Hilton’s room Saturday after leaving the club.

Still, they seemed less chummy on Sunday at Pure, mingling only briefly before drinking a shot of tequila together.

Lynne Spears told Kevin Federline that Jamie Lynn was pregnant before she broke the news to her daughter, Britney, Usmagazine.com has learned.

But that doesn’t come as a surprise to those in the Spears camp.

“Lynne talks with him way more than she talks to Britney,” a source tells Us.

“Lynne mentioned it to warn him that the media would be going crazy,” another source adds. “But she asked him as a favor not to say anything to anyone. She wanted him to be prepared.”

Lynne famously sold the story to OK! magazine, upsetting her ex-husband (and Jamie Lynn and Brit’s father) Jamie.
