Lets Get This Party Started
Britney Checks-in and Out of Rehab

Posted Feb 16th 2007 8:00AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that while Britney Spears checked-in to rehab, she refused to stay and checked out -- less than twenty-four hours later!

As "EXTRA" first reported, the pop star entered a rehab facility two days ago. Now TMZ has learned that the center was located outside of the country, and she refused to stay.

TMZ is told that Britney checked in at the urging of friends and family, after being seen intoxicated in public places and was so "exhausted" on New Year's Eve she collapsed.

According to TMZ sources, Britney is on her way back to Los Angeles.

A rep for Britney could not immediately be reached for comment.

Anna Nicole's Death Dress


Anna Nicole Smith was so obsessed with her own death in her last days that she had commissioned a seamstress to design a dress for her own funeral.

In yesterday's bizarre hearing in Broward County Circuit Court, Anna's lawyer Ron Rale told Judge Larry Seidlin that after her son Daniel's death, Smith began thinking obsessively about her own demise.
According to Rale, Howard K. Stern told him that "there's a dress Anna Nicole had, the dressmaker had been preparing a dress" to wear at her funeral, as the New York Daily News reports.

Meanwhile, another attorney for Stern ripped Anna's mother, Virgie Arthur, for seeking possession of Anna's body despite their 12-year estrangement. "It's sad and it's sick," said Krista Barth. Yesterday, TMZ brought you several new developments in the Anna Nicole saga, including news of an investigation into the doctor who prescribed methadone while she was pregnant, another potential baby daddy, and an interview with Anna's hairdresser who said that Smith popped pills for stomach pains.

Michael Richards On Trial?


Michael Richard's Racial Rant: Click to watchMichael Richards will be put on trial tomorrow for his racist rant at the Laugh Factory last year, which TMZ showed you first. But the real question is: Will he show up for it? We know that the TMZ tape is exhibit A in attorney Gloria Allred's case.

Page Six reports that Richards was asked by Allred, the lawyer representing four black audience members who were the targets of Richards' N-word tirade, to come to Loyola Law School in L.A. tomorrow to sit down and talk about the incident. But Allred may have a surprise in store for Richards – the press has been invited and cameras will be rolling, making the "discussion" more of a mock trial, and what Richards' lawyer Douglas Mirell fears could become a "kangaroo court." The two sides have yet to settle on the terms of the meeting. Says Allred, "Richards wants this to be a secret meeting ... and we do not agree."

1. Gloria Allred is such of a publicity whore. Shes worse then Al Sharpton and Paris Hilton put together

2. Britney's washed up. Beyonce needs to shut up. I won't even comment on ANS's dress and Michael Richards.

3. 1. Anna's mom is a pig!

2. Why didn't Richards just go to rehab and be done with it?

3. Beyonce can't go a day without telling everyone how great she is. Everytime she opens her mouth she is bragging about something.

4. The girl definitely needs help. She needs to look at Anna Nicole sorry mess of a life and realize that could be her. Hell that should be incentive enough to stop drinking and drugging!!!

5. I think if JT was a good friend and once loved Britney Spears sure he should call her and give her some support. If I was out of there messing up as she is I would hope my ex's would call and help me. A matter of fact I know they would. Good for you JT, but make a personal call in private. And Britney should take the help. WHERE THE HELL IS HER MOTHER???????

6. Krista Barth must not have any children of her own. If she did she would understand that there is a timeless bond between mother and her child. A mother loves her child always, not matter what differences they may have. To say that Vergie Arthur is sad and sick to want to bury her own daughter is unbelievably insensitive, to say the least. Perhaps Anna Nicole would not have wanted her mother to take care of her after death. But, Vergie is her Mother and no one can blame her for wanting the remains of her own flesh and blood. I do think Anna Nicole would want to be buried next to Daniel. I just wonder who Krista Barth is to judge Vergie Arthur for wanting her own daughter. I only hope that someday, someone will treat Krista the same uncompassionate way in which she has treated Virgie. P.S. Someone needs to tell Krista that she is not the only person present at the hearings. She talks too much and is rude to everyone, including the judge. She's trying just a little too hard to be a crack lawyer and it just makes her look foolish.

7. To: #3 & #5
Both of you are blaming the mothers. Anna & Britney are GROWN WOMEN. You can not make someone, especially an adult who is an addict get help. I'm sure both mothers told them to get help and stop their wild ways. But hell if they refuse what can a mother do? Everybody is trashing Virgie. I'm sure the reason why they had a tense or non existent relationship is because of Anna Nicole's drug use. And I'm sure, there are folks telling Britney to calm down but until she hits rock bottom and realizes she has a problem nothing is gonna happen. No one can force her into rehab. She has to make that decision on her own.

8. Once again......somebody please tell Beyounce not to upon her mouth......

9. If Michael Richards is being sued By Allred and the black guys at that comedy show, then where are all the lawsuits at against Tim Hardaway for his RACIST rants against Gay people? I have not heard from Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton Calling for Hardaways head. Well I guess you have to be white to be called a RACIST!!!!

10. A real friend who is trying to help you sends you a letter of concern, or makes a phone call to you privately. Her ex personal assistant posts a letter on a public blog for all to see, and guess what it worked! Yesterday no one knew the woman's name. A nice way to get some new attention for herself. Justin has known Britney for years and could easily talk to her privately if he was worried about her. His shout out at the Brit awards had nothing to do with her, even though the media twisted the story to make it seem like it did. Anyone who says they would like to be in the public eye is nuts.

11. Justin Timberfake is not sincere at all with his concern over Britney. To shout it out in public like that? He could have picked up the phone and talked to her in private. I'm glad Cam gave that little mama's boy bad ass wanna-be the boot!

12. ALLRED SHOULD BE ALLDED. SHE'S THE KIND OF HEADLINE GRABING SHYSTER WHO GIVES THE LEGAL PROFESSION A ROTTEN NAME, AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO LOOK DOWN ON ALL LAWYERS.SHE'S NOTHING BUT A SUNT (THAT MEANS SUPERC**T) WHO SHOULD BE DISBARRED. I SUPPOSE THAT IF JACK THE RIPPER WERE ALIVE TODAY, SHE'D SUE HIS VICTIMS ON HIS BEHALF, ON GROUNDS OF their BEING ON THE STREET WHILE HE WAS OUT WALKING HIS DOG. THIS IS A PIECE OF HATEFUL SCUM, AND I WISH HER NOTHING BUT ILL. (A LONG HIDEOUSLY PAINFUL DEATH WOULD BE NICE.)

13. Somebody PLEASE, PLEAE tell the media Beyounce isn't the only pretty black female in show business. I hate it when I read/hear her voice her comments/opinions on matters, she sound to ignorant. She is a bad example/role model for the black females. She sounds so dam uneducated. Take your ASS back to school........

Posted at 9:51AM on Feb 16th 2007 by Oh no she didn't say that

14. Allred is a publicity whore. JT is putting Brit down by giving her a shout out to quit the booze. Like she's really going to stop after he tried to humiliate her like that. He is a little boy with lots of growing up to do just like Britney.

15. What's 'sad and sick' is Howard KIDNAPPER STERN enabling Anna to death, and then cashing in on it to the tune of $1,000,000 a few days later. BRING ON THE PATERNITY AND DRUG TESTS!!!!!!
