Troubled Britney Spears is Hospitalized Again

Thursday January 31, 2008
Update on February 6, 2008: Britney has been released from the hospital accompanied by a private security detail. She was under psychiatric evaluation for nearly a week. What's her next move?

January 31, 2008: It's just another ordinary day in the life of Britney Spears. This morning, the troubled pop star was taken to UCLA Medical Center to be placed under a 72-hour psychiatric hold, according to People. Her ambulance was also given the royal treatment with a pretty serious police escort. If you didn't know any better, you might think they had the President in there.

Just weeks ago, Britney, 26, was rushed to the hospital during a police standoff in which she refused to hand her children back over to Kevin Federline. Internet rumors of an attempted suicide have been denied by those close to Britney, but who really knows? Maybe she did and maybe she didn't. Either way, this girl desperately needs help and let's hope that she gets it this time.

being follwed EVERYWHERE you go is part of the deal with being a celebrity…she has problems obviously…but some of the crap going on, shes brought on herself.

Britney is a Drama Queen. Her latest boyfriend is part of a paparazzi…go figure. All these things she’s doing she’s doing it for attention. In my opinion, I don’t think there’s nothing that serious going on with her. She likes attention and doesnt care how she gets it. She doesnt even care about her own kids as long as she’s satisfied. I think they should just stop reporting on her. Who cares anyway? She’s washed up and doesnt deserve the attention she’s getting both negative or positive. Her situation is stomach-turning.

The fact that Britney brought this on herself shouldn’t be the issue.This poor girl is going through some kind of breakdown right now. She is the mother of 2 children and we should all be wishing her well instead of ripping her apart.She needs to get well for those kids,and you should all back off!

Um Darlene, pity is the last thing she needs. They have tried to help her in as many ways possible. She has to want to do better and apparently she does not. Her kids alone should have been enough, but it wasnt. Britney isnt going down the drain because ppl are pushing her…she’s going down the drain because thats what she wants to do. Like i said previously, they should just stop reporting on her. Once all the media attention is gone…she’ll shape up.
