Conservatorship
In January 2008, after Spears refused to relinquish custody of her sons to Federline's representatives, she was institutionalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center due to her worsening mental condition.[119] Her visitation rights were suspended at an emergency court hearing, and Federline was given sole custody. By the end of the month, she was put on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.[119] In February, her father Jamie filed a temporary conservatorship suit, granting him and attorney Andrew Wallet temporary control over her affairs.[120][121] The following month, Spears guest-starred on the How I Met Your Mother episode "Ten Sessions" as a receptionist. Her performance drew positive reviews and brought the series its highest ratings ever.[122][123] In July 2008, Spears regained some visitation rights after coming to an agreement with Federline.[124] In September 2008, Spears opened the MTV Video Music Awards with a pre-taped comedy sketch with Jonah Hill and an introduction speech. She won Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me".[125] A 60-minute introspective documentary, Britney: For the Record, was produced to chronicle Spears's return to the recording industry. Directed by Phil Griffin, For the Record was shot in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and New York City during the third quarter of 2008.[126] The documentary was broadcast on MTV to 5.6 million viewers for the two airings on the premiere night, December 1. It was the highest rating in its Sunday night time slot and in the network's history.
