Britney hospitalized again
There’s a whole lotta Britney Spears news going on today. With all the commotion around her, it’s no wonder why she generates hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Anyways, the latest controversy surrounding our heroine is her emergency hospitalization last night. Her new psychiatrist visited her and saw that she was a danger to herself. He had her committed to the UCLA Medical Center where she is currently on psychiatric hold for 72 hours.
According to TMZ, this intervention of sorts had been planned for a while. Britney’s parents, Lynn and Jamie, also showed up, and were at the hospital with their daughter.
TMZ has learned the plan to get Britney into UCLA Medical Center had been hatched for days — it was aborted last night, but executed just minutes ago. And we’re told the plan was so intricate the FAA had cleared airspace in route to the hospital.
Back at her house, Britney’s psychiatrist told her she was going to the hospital. Her response was, “Is something wrong?” She was not resistant. She made hot chocolate and waited before paramedics arrived and placed her on a gurney.
We’re told the psychiatrist felt her condition had deteriorated. Britney had not slept since Saturday — a day and half longer than she stayed up in recent memory.
The reason she’s at UCLA is her new treating psychiatrist practices out of that medical center.
We’re told during her initial 72-hour stay she cannot be forced to take medication against her will. If, however, she refuses to take meds, the plan is for the the psych to go to court and have Britney held for an additional 14 days, during which time he can administer proper medications.
There is also a fight between Britney’s parents and her “manager” Sam Lutfi over who will be in charge of her medical decisions. Sam thinks he is in control, but Brit’s parents will have none of it. Lawyers have been brought in to settle the dispute, but according to TMZ it is looking favorable for Brit’s parents.
TMZ has learned Britney’s parents have won round one in the tug of war with Sam Lutfi. We’re told the doctors at UCLA are now “fully cooperating” with the parents in the treatment of Britney Spears, however, the war probably is not over until a judge signs an order as to who has control.
Phew, I’m glad of that, for Britney’s sake. That Sam Lutfi guy just spells trouble. On the other hand, you could say that Lynn and Jamie’s parenting of Britney helped her get to where she is now, which is the loony bin. But they are still family, and family wins out over shifty sneaky hangers-on who have a history of disturbing behavior.
And hey maybe this is the beginning of a “calm, fitter, healthier and more productive”…Britney!!!
