Wow Newsweek just published the update on Britney Spears and her sad case. What is going on with this pop princess? I think she's a little obsessed with all this attention, but I think the world is also a little obsessed with her. Anyway, here's the latest on pop princess Britney Spears and her latest visit to her now favorite hang-out - the hospital.
Newsweek reports that capping months of increasingly bizarre and troubling behavior, pop superstar Britney Spears had to be rushed to the hospital early Thursday morning for an involuntary mental health evaluation. Paramedics assisted by a line of Los Angeles Police Department motorcycle cops broke through the crowd of 100 paparazzi surrounding her hillside home to transport her to UCLA Medical Center. It was the second time in a month that authorities forced Spears to be involuntarily hospitalized; she spent two days at a medical facility in early January after she refused to hand over her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline and barricaded herself in her bathroom with her one-year old son. Since then, she has lost custody of her children and seemingly accelerated her downward spiral, occasionally speaking in a faux British accent.
What is up with that British accent? Sometimes I wonder if this is really a breakdown or a reality sitcom... maybe we'll see a new reality show on ABC or CBS that says - "Britney Spears - her so called life"
The latest episode began when Spears' psychiatrist and family members alerted the LAPD about their concerns for her mental health and gathered at the star's home late Wednesday evening, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. By 11 p.m., her neighborhood was teeming with photographers and camera crews, prompting an extensive police presence to manage the crowd and finally escort her to the hospital at 1 a.m. The scope and purpose of the police effort—as well as its reported (cops dispute it) $25,000 price tag—have sparked a debate: How should public resources be managed when dealing with celebrities? And, when it comes to Britney Spears, when is enough, enough?
