TMZ has broken story after story in the middle of the night, detailing the second commitment of Britney Spears that occurred in the last few hours. For all of you who have just logged on, here's a summary. Last night, Britney's new psychiatrist went to her home and felt she was a danger to herself and others -- partly because of her reckless driving and partly because of her "downhill behavior." As a result, the shrink launched a plan (days in the making) to have Britney committed to UCLA Medical Center by calling the cops. Sources tell us the cops knew it was coming. In fact, the plan was for cops and paramedics to take Britney away the night before, but it was scrubbed. Last night, it all went down according to plan. Cops even used code to minimize craziness in transporting Britney to the hospital. Over the police radio, she was referred to as "The Package." Before the cops arrived, the shrink told her she was going back to the hospital and she offered no resistance. She said, "Is something wrong?" She made hot chocolate and waited. Her mom, Lynne, got extremely agitated, accusing Sam of engineering the impending commitment. We're told Brit told her to "shut the hell up." She demanded silence, sat on the floor and wrote notes to people who were there as they waited. When emergency personnel arrived, Brit went on the gurney without resistance. When everyone arrived at UCLA, things got heated. Jamie Spears began screaming at Sam Lutfi, accusing him of trying to control Britney. We're told as far as the doctors are concerned -- at least for now -- Lynne and Jamie Spears are not calling the shots. The point guy for the docs is Brit's friend, Sam Lutfi. Sources say after Britney's commitment earlier this month, she was extremely upset at her dad for getting angry at Sam and the hospital staff. Britney had lawyers draft several documents, however, we're told she did not sign a durable power of attorney giving Lutfi the power to make medical decisions on her behalf. Nevertheless, something was signed and doctors are going to Lutfi for guidance. Jamie went off on Lutfi in the hallway, accusing him of trying to control his daughter. Britney has been calm in the hospital, even getting a "cigarette break." We're told during the initial 72-hour stay she cannot be forced to take medication against her will. If, however, she refuses to take the meds, the plan is for the psychiatrist to go to court and have Britney held for an additional 14 days, during which time he could administer proper medications. As TMZ first reported, Britney has already been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder and has sporadically taken her medication. But one source says the meds just aren't doing the trick. Oh, and get this. Lynne Spears drove to the hospital tonight with Brit's pap friend Adnan! www.tmz.com

1. Put Brit in for the 14 day routine.
2. Put Mom and Dad in for 3 days observation...to asses their mental...as opposed to financial condition. Basically to shut them up for 3 days.
3. Appoint an unaffiliated third party to be her guardian for 90 days.
4. Get her the hell outta my sight for awhile

Well, meds don't usually do the truck when they're taken sporadically.

Maybe she should have tried taking them all at once. What a waste of a life this mental defect has become.

She has a mental illness, I don't understand the hatefulness. This ceased to be amusing or about a spoiled Hollywood celebrity a long time ago.

Poor Britney...
This one girl I know is all torn up over it cuz she's a huge Britney Spears fan. I asked her why she cares so much about someone who obviously fell off the deep end and she said "It's cuz it's obviously not her at work here. She has no one to trust right now, not even her mom."
Suddenly I saw her point, this ain't the same Britney Spears who wanted to be hit one more time. Something happened that triggered all this, and it just might be something specific.

You might want to do a little research on the illness she has. Something didn't have to happen to "trigger" all of this. It's not like that.

You know you are right and to say that , even in jest, was not one of my more thought out comments. I do get sick about hearing of the trials and tribulations of these hack millionaire freaks though . Try living a normal day like the rest of us Brit, Lindsay, Paris and all other spoiled petulant rich kids. They always have the option of packing up and moving out of the limeligt, they choose this life.

Do they really?
A lot of times their parents force them into this life. Once you're in it's hard to get out, and once you're out it's impossibly hard to get back in.

I think the "limelight" has been finding Brittney lately, not the other way around. She does something, the media hears it on the police scanner, and they're there within minutes. She's a woman with a sickness and I hope they can get her figured out.

I understand getting sick of the coverage of these spoiled little rich girls. I just think it's obvious that this one is far beyond the antics and problems of that type of person.

I feel sorry for her now.
I'm not gonna do a long-distance physcho-analysis like Dr. Phil & those other idiots, but she might be better off to get the hell out of Hollywood once her mind is right.
And the paparrazi chasing her around day & night... is it any wonder Sean Penn threw rocks at them?

If she does in fact have bipolar, then I wish her nothing but the best and I hope she gets the help she needs and straightens her life out.. (I wish that for her no matter what the cause of her actions, but if there is a medical reason, then I'm far more sympathetic than if they are self-imposed).. .however, I would not put it past Brit or her "handlers" to have conjured up the whole bipolar thing simply as an excuse to try to explain her reckless behavior. In which case I still hope she gets the help she needs but I'll feel much less sympathy for her..
Either way, I wish the media would leave her the hell alone.

I have to wonder if the stuff she's been doing has made it worse. Hence why I said "something must've triggered this."
Even if she was bipolar her whole life...she wasn't like this.

I can't believe the ignorance of people that still think mental illness is a weakness or something that an individual is somehow responsible for.
I'm no Britney fan, but I don't see how someone can get the proper treatment and recover from bipolar disorder with the constant media attention. She needs time (a few months at least) away from the circus to focus on her treatment and recovery.
And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

Leave Britney Alone
I feel bad for her in some ways. Money or not, life with photographers following your every move, and only to try to get dirt has got to get to you.
I'd probably set up a sniper perch on my property and hunt them.

A point that I did not consider . I can see how someone living that lifestyle could think that way but it is soooo far outside the capacity of my understanding that I really don't think about them not understanding that they have a choice . To me that whole world is a fantasy land where our reality seldom intrudes .

Update: Chaos Inside UCLA Posted Jan 31st 2008 12:19PM by TMZ Staff Sources inside UCLA Medical Center tell TMZ Britney checked into the facility using an alias. We will not divulge the name, but what happened inside is bizarre. Our sources say Britney said she was on Adderall, a stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder, and was taking up to ten laxatives a day. Side note -- cameras caught Spears a few days ago picking up a bagful of laxatives. We're also told, when she was admitted, Britney accused her mom of "sleeping with my boyfriend." She wasn't specific on who she was referring to. We're also told that for a time she was hurling profanities at her parents and staff. 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. By the way, the men in white coats are giving props to LAPD's "SMART Unit" which specializes in mental health cases for coordinating the events that went down last night and early this morning.

Good Lord, I can't believe that they are putting out updates every couple hours as to what is going on in her hospitalization.
The media is way out of control. Having a mental illnes on top of the stress people are putting her through is just going to make things worse.

It IS fantasy land, but reality intrudes all too much which is what IMO causes this mess. Take it from someone who's wanted to be famous his whole life but his parents didn't push him because they didn't want him to become what was described to him as a "messed up grown up." (as said to me by my mom when I was 8)
And Jules, I'll be the first one to admit I don't understand bi-polar disorder, but c'mon, just take one look at her...something happened beyond that to get her to her sad state right now. Be it some mix of stress and drugs or whatever.

The onset of the disorder usually begins in young adulthood, and a specific "something" does not trigger this disorder. So again, you are talking out of your behind when you keep saying this.

And that is true, but with any disorder "something" can trigger an emotional breakdown.
Bi polar disorder is also a disorder that a person goes through manic stages. Which can happen with or with out a trigger, but a trigger can cause episodes. And if in a manic state, and a trigger...the bigger the episode. Your both right

For instance, a person diagnosed with bi polar disorder may start to cut themselves repeatedly on the legs. They'll do this to cause pleasure. And they usually do this when something has happened and they don't know how to rationally deal with it. The disorder and the trigger.
Just wanted to add that in there to explain my previous post. I worked with individuals that suffered from Menatl Retardation and/or Mental Health. Things get even scarier when someone has multiple diagnosis.
There nothing like a 6'5" 280 lb. person mad at the world because of their diagnosises. Whew, that was an interesting job

I think it goes without saying that events in one's life can cause an exacerbation of the illness but in no way does an event cause you to suddenly become bipolar. That was my point. This disorder usually begins at the age is she is currently.

No, I'm sorry if that's how it came across. He was saying something had to have happened to her to cause this suddenly and I was just pointing out that this was not true. The disorder can occur with out an event at all. That's all I was pointing out.

Not to nitpick; but this isn't entirely true. The use of many psychactives has been known to precipitate or exacerbate latent or existing mental disorders.
So if Brit has been using drugs, then it is quite possible that it has accentuated latent disorders.
Not saying that that is the case........but it could be a possibility.
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch......

Over the past two years, I've had a really difficult on-again, off-again problem with an individual who suffers from being bipolar, at my workplace. This individual has caused me a lot of stress, sleepless nights, and fear for my own safety. A lot of the actions and symptoms he exhibited in the past are what I've been seeing from Britney over the course of the past 6-12 months (at least). Hope she gets help. Sometimes, in severe cases, electrotherapy is needed, it's not necessarily a case of taking your meds or not.
She's obviously in her manic state now...wait for the depressive state to settle in.

Add on top of all this the human brain is the most complex and least understood organ in the human body...
Who knows what her problem is....I am just sorry people find themself in a position they can't cope.
Famous people like her, Howard Hughes, and Rosemary Kennedy get snickered at.......regular Joe's/Joanne's get shunned or made fun of for sleeping under a bridge somewhere.

Not long ago Dr. Freeman and his procedure for a quick lobotomy was considered cutting edge treatment. He would just stick those needles in behind the eyes and fix you good.
