Britney Back in Rehab

Britney SpearsTMZ has confirmed Britney Spears is back in rehab.

We're told the singer is hoping three times is a charm. The emergency custody hearing that Kevin Federline wanted has been cancelled because of the new development. There will be no custody hearing today.

Sources tell TMZ Federline is concerned for Spears' welfare and wants her to get the help she is now seeking. We're also told this will be Spears' last chance -- if she leaves rehab before getting full treatment, Federline will immediately go to court seeking orders allowing him unquestioned full custody of the children.

We're told Spears showed up at Federline's house to see the children last night and he wouldn't let her in.

Sources say the kids are now in the custody of Federline, and have been since last week.

496. k-fed is a f&&ken as*hole. That guy is a scum. I feel bad for britney because everyone is using her. Kevin never loved her at all. Alll he wanted was her money. The only reason Kevin wants custody of the kids is because he wants spousal support. What a f**ken bum. He is nothing, his rapping career went down the toilet.

Hey K-fed how come you dont want custody of your other kids. Oh wait I forget you are a bum who does not have a job and Britney is paying your bills. All I want to say to you Kevin is you are a worthless human being.

497. Natalie, do you have some type of personal hang-up with Britney? She is a twisted and sick little girl that needs to snap back and realize she's now an adult with two children. We all make mistakes but none of us know what it's like to live in the other person's shoes. I wish her the best of luck with rehab.

498. Dear Brittany:
If you are reading this, thank god you are somewhere that you can get the help you need for yourself...It's sad in the year 2007, that there are stil some women who will lose ther minds, as well as their dignity over sorry ass types of men like the one you had, fate is a bi*** you should have left his a** with Shar , thats one man that definitely wasn't worth stealing, bet you wish you could have turned back the hands of time..
If this is all about custody, sh**let him take care of his kids, he can never keep them out of your life, let him take care of them, and you....take care of you...you are too much of a media personality for your kids to never, ever know where you are and how to contact you....your actions are making you a very distatsteful human being to everyone who at one time or another ....adored you

499. I am not a Britney fan .. I'm a 44 year old woman who has more sophisticated and cultured music preferences than to be entertained by the type of music that Britney produces (pop ain't my bag!)
However, as a caring, empathetic human being, and also a parent, I am truly and sincerely concerned, troubled and touched by the recent series of events that has unfolded before the world's eyes.

Who wouldn't be saddened by watching someones life unfold and by watching the meltdown of a person who was the 'darling' of the media and the girl who many (pre) teens aspired to be like. Who dreamed that perhaps one day they too might live the fairly tale life of their idol.

I care about people, famous and otherwise, who suddenly, for whatever reason, breakdown, meltdown and come down from a very high, high. I care that they are breaking inside, that their spirit is slowly losing its spark, that they feel their life has lost direction and meaning and that the two become merged into one big dark and lonely (hell?) hole.

What changes from empathy and sympathy to anger and indignation is the realization that the likes of Paris Hilton, et all, are nowhere to be seen since their best pal, Britney, started to meltdown.
I haven't read one thing anywhere where any of those "friends' of hers have offered their help, support, concern, etc. and that pisses me off, BIG TIME.
Oh, Justin Timberlake apparently did make a subtle suggestion at the Brit Music Awards to Britney that she get it together because she was becoming "sloppy" and that a certain magazine would likely make unkind comments about her, but that's about all that I've seen/read, where anything has been offered to her (advice wise) from her buddies.

I want to know where all the people that have been riding on Britney's coat-tails, enjoying the success that she has allowed them to share with her, are now? They've all had a slice of the pie and enjoyed every last bite of it, but where were they when she needed someone to say "no" to her? Where were they when she needed them to say, "I don't think that this is a good idea" or "It would be better if you didn't do this or that" or "Let's not go out and drink tonight. Let's stay at home with your babies and have fun at home with them"
Why didn't her 'friends' tell her that going out without wearing any panties with a mini-skirt was a stupid thing to do (for example)

There is a high price to pay for being a celebrity, but for one who was thrust into the limelight at such a young age and for one who was in the spotlight before she could really grow up emotionally, spiritually, etc. it seems even more tragic.

I do question her what her parent's role has been in all this ... methinks their concern has come along a little too late in the game for them to be able to make any difference to what she does with her life from this moment on and no doubt she'll have some 'issues' to work through in counseling with regards to her parents. I know as a parent myself that I would never have even let this begin in the first place. ... she became what her parents wanted her to become and I doubt she had much say in the matter. Besides, what child doesn't want to live the "Hollywood Dream"? All little girls want to be a famous pop star, etc. but then again all children want to do all kinds of unreasonable things .... they are children and have little to no understanding of the laws of cause and effect, etc. Its us, the parents, who have the responsibility to guide and reign in our children, draw boundaries and be consistent, not sit on the coat-tails and reap the benefits of a life (and an opulent one at that) that their children have given them.
I'm not saying she hasn't enjoyed it all and I'm not saying she would've preferred to have left school at 18 and gone onto work at the local supermarket instead, but when you feed your children's dreams and nurture those dreams as if they're your own, you have to think ahead and prepare for the eventual outcome, good or bad. At best you have to make sure that your child prodigy has a good back-up support system. As concerned parents you don't just accompany them on their journey of fame and fortune, swooning over the fact that you put them there in the first place, you make a vow, a pact, a promise that you will always be the parent and will always define and re-define the boundaries and (moral?) rules, expectations and standards that you draughted and set in place long before the stardom began.
My son is 18 and I still tell him when I think his behavior is inappropriate. I still tell remind him what is and what is not acceptable behavior and if he gets out of control (which is rare) ... I get in my car, drive to his apartment and read him the riot act. Sure, he doesn't like it and sure he wishes I'd just butt out, but everyone needs a moral compass and as long as I have a breath left in my body I shall try to be his. That's my job .. that's the pact I made with myself when I gave birth to him .... that I will always be a parent first and a friend second.

Britney's mom and family didn't give her a good compass to use .... not only that, they also went along on the ride with her and forgot to be her parents first.
As for her 'friends' ... I shudder to think. A group of 'hangers on' aren't (in my book) friends. They're users and enablers and when they're tired of Britney and her fading fame, they'll move on to the next victim and then she'll really be on her own with a whole heap of emotional problems to deal with. And she is a parent herself?! I shudder to think what the fate of those boys will be.

500. thank god she's back in rehab!! i knew she would end up there. she better stay there for good, and not leave again. those boys are better off with their father, and not with their Crazy, " white Trash" mother. if she doesn't get her act together soon, she'll end up like Anna Nicole Smith. and those boys will not have a Mother. if they even know who she is. it's sad that, they didn't even get to know her , before she started neglecting them. they know the nannies much better than their mother. she hardly took care of them at all. at least Kevin is stepping up now, and taking care of them. and Britney's Mom is too, she has to be a part of their lives also. i'm afraid that, if she recovers, she'll probably try to put those two boys in Danger. it'll be better if Britney goes back to Louisiana, and allows kevin to have the kids. that way, he'll be a ' Responsible " Parent. and he can raise them peacefully, and away from the media. and his two kids from his 1st relationship Could get to know their half-Siblings much better. frenchy92776

501. What a crock, grow up and be a mother...You are a skank who cares only about yourself...You are like the fallen Whitney Houston-cracked out...You will never be able to come back...Post partum my ass, you are just selfish and a terrible mother...You should never get your kids back...Sounds like you got a little big for your britches....Kevin is the stable one-you are crazy!!!!!!!!! quite doing drugs, you look like trash!

502. I hope she is one the right track. She definately has some issues that only she can resolve. I believe she is just human and has made some bad choices in life. Most of her problems seem to have come about since her marriage. Maybe if she hadn't married a loser she wouldn't have some of the problems she has. Let's look at the facts K-Fed is really no better than she is. He left his long time girlfriend and the mother of his other two children without a thought. Where would he be without Brittany's money. And as for Natalie who has sent several negative replys she really needs to get a life of her own.

503. I understand completely on the reasoning for Britney to be driven insane, people have used her her entire life. How would you feel if just about every guy you had been with (excluding Justin) had sold you out at one point or another for a hefty check. no privacy EVER...since you were like 10 years old. Child stars naturally can have issues stress related by no one leaving them alone. Britney seems like a sweet girl, she just needs to get her crap together so she doesnt lose her kids. In my opinion K-Fed has kinda messed her up in the head, I mean I'm sure he's pushed drugs upon her b/c he wants her cash. the only reason he has any fame is b/c of her & he knows he'd be nothing without having married her...I mean who was Kevin Federline until he married Britney Spears? anyway, best of luck to you Britney, stay strong, don't live your life like this. Be there for your kids and realize that life is how you make it... so make it good & stay positive :)

504. How dare Promises rent a wing to Brit when they are there"the beds" to help people in need. I am so disgusted. That alone should make any "fan" go bye-bye.Promises is now to answer for what their real purpose is.Money or recovery.

505. Why should Skankey Drunks be allowed OUT of rehab to attend an AA meeting. Surely they have nothing but that sort of thing on the Promises campus. It's disgusting how celebrities get special treatment. She should be egged every time she steps into public. NO NOG mind you just eggs...lots of rotten eggs thrown at her skankiness and her bald assed head...

507. People should not judge others....I can understand her struggles and wish her a quick recovery

508. Kevin was the one that ruined Brittney and now the media is trying to make Kevin out to be other than the marrying for money, looser that he is.He only wants his sons so Brittney will have to pay him nun support.... because he is too lazy to work and has no talent to be a star and everything he has got he has gotten from Brittney.He is trying to take her to the cleaners pure and simple.No wonder he wouldnt let Brittney in when she came to see the boys..because Shar was in the house watching the boys.He is just not a good person.My heart goes out to Brittney.

509. Just continue to pray and listen to what the 12 steps are really all about. Not a cult it helps you deal honestly with the things that bother you and you avoid. Hang in there Brit. Remember your human and God will forgive you and so will your friends.

510. Wow! I am terrified by the number of people who have nothing better to do then read this crap. I am not a "Britt" fan and I have never read anything about her, or anyone else for that matter on the net before. I was intrigued when I saw how many articles there were posted about her. It is sad that there are so many ignorant, bored, and uneducated people in this world. It is obvious that niether one of these people should have the children, and the worst part is her mother was the main caretaker before Kevin got them. Britts mom obviously was not a good parent the first time around, and as for Kevin he has two other children nobody seems to care about except thier mother. These people want attention and they certainly get it here. I will never return to this site and personally hope I never hear about any of this nonsense again. Where are your children while you are all on here spreading gossip about people you don't even know?
