Rumors are swirling that Britney Spears skipped her deposition in her custody hearing yesterday. TMZ is reporting that this may be the fifth time she has been a no-show. last time she called in sick to court.

Yesterday her law firm dropped her as a client and this just may be the reason she was not there. She did however check herself into another hotel room at 2 a.m. with her new paparazzo pal.

I foresee explicit pictures hitting the Web in the near future.

**********UPDATE***********
Seems that Britney has showed up to K-Fed's lawyer's office this morning in L.A. to have her deposition taken and her lawyers who quit on her yesterday are with her too. More details as things develop.

Maybe her new year's resolution was to go on the straight and narrow!
