Britney Spears “more comfortable” in latest hospital trip

The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:

Pop wreck Britney Spears’ latest trip to the hospital is much more different from the last time: the Toxic singer went willingly, and she’s “more comfortable” receiving medical care – even making a joke about her second trip, a source close to the pop star says.

“She’ll be in there [hospital] for at least 72 hours getting evaluated. She might even stay longer,” the source told America’s People magazine. “She’s more comfortable this time, she came into the waiting area, had a cigarette, made a joke about being there again. But who knows what will happen. All we can hope for is that she gets better.”

And getting help for the 26-year-old mother of two was much easier - as it was planned far in advance, the source claims.

“Something like this has been in the works since the [last trip to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center]. She has been seeing her psychiatrist every day,” the source says. “No one thought this would happen this soon, but it was clear if she stayed up for more than three days she’d have to get sent, since that could cause real damage. The last time she slept was Saturday.”

Adds the source: “The motorcade and everything was planned, it was already in the works to have them block off the road and airspace. It worked out perfectly.”

Britney Spears Hospitalized Again for Mental Evaluation

The following italicized article is from www.transworld news.com:

Britney Spears was taken from her Beverly Hills home in an ambulance for the second time this month. The troubled singer was transported to the UCLA Medical Center for mental evaluation this morning around 1 a.m.

According to her manager Sam Lufti, Spears was willingily hospitalized as she realized she needed help. “She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong,” said Lufti. He denies reports that Spears attempted suicide.

A police source confirmed Spears’ hospitalization. “Spears was escorted by police and is on her way to get help,” the sources said.

The 26-year-old has been put on a 5150 hold, which means she can be held by doctors against her will for 72 hours.

Earlier this month, the singer was put on a 5150 hold after a standoff with police. She was hospitalized after refusing to return her children to their father Kevin Federline. A mental evaluation was conducted and Spears was released from the hospital less than a day and a half later.

Sources say Spears’ wild behavior brought on her current hospitalization. “She was driving around her neighborhood like a mad-woman. Britney has been prescribed medication which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening,” said the source
