TMZ has learned a gaggle of paparazzi just took off by helicopter from the Santa Monica airport, headed for Malibu. Their target: Britney Spears in rehab.
Spears checked into the ritzy Promises treatment center in Malibu today. We're told the doors are off the chopper so the paps can get a clear shot of the grounds as they hunt for the troubled singer.

1. OK - now enough is enough - that's disgusting - she needs help, her family has finally got her to the point where she is listening and she is getting the help she needs - can we leave her alone now -

2. give the girl a break already! She's where she needs to be, leave her alone and dont pay her any attention....that's how you handle toddlers w/temper tantrums, dont pay her attention and she'll straighten up!

3. Please leave her alone -- it's partially their fault that she's in rehab in the first place. Enough is enough.

6. For God's sake...Leave the girl alone! She is in obvoius need of help. Let her get it and get on to being a mother. Most of her recent issues have been fueled by the paparazzi. I frankly don't know how these idoits sleeping at night knowing the lives that they are helping to ruin. They all should be ashamed of themselves. Brit get the help you need and get on to the most IMPORTANT job you will ever have your kids MOMMY. Good luck.

8. I wonder why she still has custody of her kids!!! You and me would have BEEN under the courts in litigation by now. The papparazzi ought to focus on that!!!

10. "HUNT" is the operative word here! Now they're just acting like a pack of hyenas! Bastards. That's just too awful. I'll bet they still wouldn't even stop if she died just like ANS.

12. Okay, so you people helped drive her there and now you want to take pictures of it? How many people going to stalk her work for TMZ? Why are you asking this question when you are going to do it any way? You know, love her or hate her - she's TRYING to help herself and get better. It would not be too much to ask to let her do that.

13. In the real world, if Brit was not a celeb, those kids would be taken away in a flash. What kind of mother acts this way regardless of all the $$?

14. I bet its X17online.com
they just posted pics of the facility. Their paps dont speak english and are ruthless with following her like a blood hound. I hope they fall out of the helicopter with the doors off when they take a pic.

15. I pray that everything works out for Brittney. It's unfortunate she lives her life under a magnifying glass.
