Britney Spears BSPEARSVIRGIN1228_01.jpg Kevin Federline, Sam Lutfi, and Jamie Spears might appear to be destined to butt heads forever over Britney Spears - but according to reports, the pop princess' recent troubles have brought the three men together!

Page Six is reporting that the unlikely trio of Federline, Lutfi, and Spears have been "united in their grief", with Sam and Jamie taking shifts by Britney's bedside while Kevin stays in "constant contact with Jamie" asking for "updates on the mother of his children".

The paper quotes a source who describes Jamie and Sam as putting on a brave face during their allotted five-minute visits with Britney, only to break down "crying and leaning on each other for support during this tragic time" once they're out of her sight.

At least the three men's unified front seems to be having some effect - Page Six reports that the pop princess will be voluntarily entering into "extended inpatient psychiatric care at an undisclosed location in California"!
