Paparazzi Buzz Rehab for Buzzed Britney

Britney SpearsTMZ 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.

91. the paparazzi helicopter is already circling over the rehab facility in malibu. the maggots will now come out of the woodwork. her only hope for a normal life is to leave the usa, buy a little place in the country and raise her two boys away from the glare of hollywood. she will leave rehab only to have a breakdown shortly thereafter.

95. OMG - in response to someone wanting to know why Britney's children haven't been taken away - what about HKS - they found methodone in his Bahamian residence, 2 young health individuals have came up dead within 6 mos. and Danniellynn is still in HKS care -

She's taking a break from life - not everyone divorce is on the front page - think about what kind of life celebrities really do have....

Friends are far and few because you don't know if people are truly friends or just trying to be on the inside blabbing your business. Imagine your private thoughts about things on the World News

97. Well I think that the Paparazzi is doing their job as sick as it might sound paparazzi and celebs go hand in hand whatever the celeb does the public wants to know I mean c'mon thats the reason we even go on TMZ.. and the paparazzi knows that the people want to hear and see whats going on w Britney and if we wouldnt hear anything we would all be wondering how is she doing so for all the people that think the paparazzi is just disgusting then maybe you should stop getting on TMZ and reading on the celebs. as for Brit its sad that they have to follow herbut thats the cost of being a public figure:(

98. Poor little rich girl....would you people STOP blaming other people for the problems of these celebrities. "Anna Nicole Smith is dead because Howard Stern gave her drugs, not because she took them," now Britney is in rehab because of the pressures of the paparazzi?!?! I suppose it's there fault she went into a salon and shaved her head for all to see instead of buying a buzzer with her millions and doing it in the privacy of her own home. Give me a break! She CHOSE this career, and has made a lot of other choices since then, mostly bad ones of course. She's living her trashy life in the public and in this industry, people take pictures of whatever you do. She could just as easily live like Oprah and help people and do good things with her fame and fortune, but no, why, because she's trash at heart. She needs to retire and try to be a mom to her two boys.

99. 60. Britney most likely shaved her head because the rehab was going to do a hair strand drug test. That would have told them exactely how long and what drugs she was doing.

That's why she checked back into rehab in Malibu.

That's just what I think.

I sincerely hope that no one close to either of you gets mixed up with drugs & alcohol to the point that they go off the deep in an attempt to get someone to notice that they are spiraling out of control and in desperate need of an intervention. You would probably pop some popcorn and enjoy the train wreck while wise cracking about your loved one.

100. Oh, and stop calling her a kid people. I'm 25 and married with a little boy and I DO NOT act this way. I live in NYC and partied when I was younger, but that all stopped when I had my son. There's no excuse for how she's acted. I guess all it takes is for someone to go to rehab these days for everyone's tune to change. Her manager probably told her to go so that people can be fooled into thinking she's changed, and it seems to be working already judging by all your sympathy.

101. Britney, please kill yourself. Just do it. Find yourself a gun, point it at your temple and pull the trigger. Trust me, it will be the best move you've ever made in your life. You're a attention whore. I wish you would die and go away. I'm sick and tired of hearing about you in the news. I don't give a shit what you do with your life.

And I hope all you Britney fans kill yourselves as well. You're all a waste of air and space.

102. Thanks Fed Up for your comments. What about her children??? I work in the legal field in California and Kevin needs to step up to the plate and get temporary custody of the children immediately before this turns out to be another ANS story. It is obvious, this young woman has a problem. But Fed Up is correct in saying that "money talks". What about her two "innocent" children? They have rights and they need a voice to protect them. Britney is old enough to take care of herself and get the help she needs but I am outraged that everyone is paying so much attention to her and not those innocent children. I have seen parents have their children taken away and put into Child Protective Services - is Britney immune from the laws of California? They have to jump throw hoops to get them back from the system they do not have the convenience as us "regular people" do and have the luxuries of costly rehabilitation facilities. They are pushed through the channels as quickly as possible because the state does not have the financial resources to keep the children in protective custody only to be returned to so called "rehabilitated parents." This is nuts!!!
