Britney Spears is still losing her mind. She left the hospital today, after a visit from Dr. Phil. Yes, Dr. Phil. Just what we need - another cartoon character in this circus.
Dr.Phil is a friend of Lynne Spears and was most likely there to try and help with Brit’s situation. Sources say Britney was calm during his visit. She had been upset earlier in the morning but his presence helped immensely.
Nurses say Britney was being a major PIA. She was yelling at people, demanding to be let out of the hospital, pulled her IV out and refused to hold still.
Reports say she was a ‘5150′, which is a person who is a threat to themselves or others, and can generally be held for 72 hours if doctors so chose. But apparently they didn’t in her case. Can anyone tell me WHY?
Anyhow she and Dr. Phil left the hospital together.
So anyway, Britney goes home and what does she decide to do? Drive around aimlessly in her white Mercedes of course! Probably going to score more nose candy or something.
Jamie Spears, Britney’s dad was seen leaving his Britney’s gated community just after she left. Meanwhile, Kevin Federline is the smart one once again - he hasn’t left his house and is keeping the children away from the craziness.
— UPDATE —
Dr. Phil has released the following statement after meeting with Britney:
“My meeting with Britney and some of her family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention.
She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her.”
— UPDATE #2 —
TMZ is reporting that the statement released by Dr. Phil is entirely untrue. They say that yes, Dr. Phil did visit Britney, but he did so at the request of her parents, and Britney had no idea he was coming. Somehow the hospital - despite Britney not wanting visitors -allowed him to go to Britney’s room where she was ‘blindsided’ by his appearance. She promptly left her room upset, but returned shortly after.
It did not go well, as previously reported.
Sources say that Dr. Phil was NOT there for an hour, but a mere 15 minutes. He did almost all of the talking, and Britney was not interested in hearing it. And they add they he did NOT escort her out of the hospital, he simply followed behind as she left.
Apparently Dr. Phil has convinced Britney’s parents to appear on his show. Can you believe it? The show is to tape Monday and air Tuesday. Dr. Phil wasted no time getting in on the action. I am gravely disappointed in him and the parents for making this all about THEM. They should be working together to find a way to help Britney, and I doubt a public airing of the family’s dirty laundry on national television is the place to start.
Stumble it!

I have been through this with a friend. It’s really up to the person who is ill to get help. Yes, there is the bottom line.
I find it extrodinary that there weren’t charges filed against her in regards to holding her child hostage. It isn’t a matter of if, but when she will hurt herself, hopefully noone else. I think of all those people who drive up and down PCH with children in their cars and it scares me to death that she is out there. I hope that this ends in her arrest shortly, very shortly. The very best place for her to be, in my opinion, is jail. She has thumbed her nose at the depositions for her children. By my own count, driven impeded countless times. There needs be an adult decision made here.
