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.

46. I really cant stand this young lady. Empathy left a LONG time ago. But someone needs to take Britney and say you go or else. Even though I cant stand K-Fed any tactics he use that work are great. Those dear little boys need to be put up for adoption and given to responsible loving parents.
And I agree with Mandy....between Britney and Anna Nicole....it is too exhausting to listen to the "news".

47. I don't know any parents that a perfect. If what TMZ is reporting and KFed did take this type of action they call it "tough love" and that is to be admired. He may not be a great live in dad but that doesn't mean he doesn't want the best for his kids or Britney. Everyones negative opinions about this is probably just a knee jerk reaction to their own screwed up childhood so before you are so harsh taking their inventory, take your own. Good Luck Britney and I admire you KFed for doing such a loving thing for your kids and your future exwife.

48. I love Britney. It is very sad to see her go down the path that she is on, but NONE of us know what it is like to have camera's in your face everytime you step out of a building. That has been her life for a long time now and I think that, that, along with other things just messed her up. I really hope that she recovers, for herself, her family, her fans, but mostly for her boys!

49. Kevin only wants the kids because he wants Britney's money. You don't see him trying to go after his other 2 kids that he left with Shar. He's exploiting Britney's cry for help just to get her money

50. You can't go from CRAZY to SANE in 30-45 days!!! SHE NEEDS TO BE IN A MENTAL FACILITY for a lot longer than that....and then DRUG and ALCOHOL rehab....

Posted at 11:38AM on Feb 22nd 2007 by She is mental!

51. NEITHER should get the kids! (But I'm glad she's back in rehab!)

54. i dont know why she keeps going to rehab just to check right back out. she must like doing the admissions paperwork. damn crack-ho needs to give fed-ex the kids, and get her life together. i hope to god that she never has another child.

55. I think this is terribly sad. It is easy to see that Britney is suffering from Severe Post Natal Depression and needs urgent help. Everyone is so quick to judge, but this is a horrible condition which makes people do crazy things ... but you can recover from it. I think she need privacy, it has been reported she left rehab on the previous occasions due to press attention .... I dont blame her. I pity her, she has had no normal life ... so sad, just so very sad ...

56. At this point in time it is clearly in the boys best interest to be with their father. I have never seen a picture of Sean with a smile on his face while being carted around by Britney. That says something...... Hope Britney gets her act together....this is about the children, not about her.

57. All the attention is on Britney -- I just hope those two little BABIES are being taken care of by someone who is loving and responsible. You can't assume that just because she has the financial means, she is hiring a staff of good nannies. Britney is clearly NOT RATIONAL, people in her drugged/drunk/mentally unstable condition leave kids home alone all the time. You can't expect her mother to be there 24/7, she still has Jamie Lyn to raise. Everybody assumed Kevin was her problem, in retrospect it's clear that Britney has been unstable for a long, long time. It isn't the paparazzi's fault either -- she courts their attention with her wild antics. The salon owner where she shaved her head stated that Britney's "bodyguards" opened the blinds so pictures could be taken. Britney wants all the ATTENTION focused on her. WHO'S TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS, STEP UP AND FIND OUT DCFS!!!

58. She's being forced to do this! This is never going to help her! Kevin should have the kids. Besides leaving his girlfriend for Britney he's never been proved as an unfit parent. I think it would be good for him to keep the kids.

59. LIKE I SAID YESTERDAY, HAVE HER PARENTS DECLARE HER LEGALLY INCOMPETANT AND HAVE HER COMMITTED - THIS WAY SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO JUST WALK OUT OF REHAB BECAUSE HER PARENTS WOULD HAVE CONTROL.

ANOTHER THING I SAID YESTERDAY IS THAT IF SHE DOESN'T COMMIT TO REHAB AND GETTING HER CRAP TOGETHER, SHE SHOULD JUST BUY A CASKET AND A PLOT AND STATE WHERE SHE WOULD LIKE TO BURIED - BECAUSE THAT IS THE ROAD SHE IS HEADING DOWN. THIS WAY SHE CAN ENJOY HER LAST SAD MONTHS ON THIS EARTH PARTYING LIKE ITS 1999.

60. I hope shes going to stay this time. She needs to get better and shes got a lot of work to do but, she hasnt lost everything yet but, she has lost a lot. She can still be saved in many ways. I never listened to her music or was interested in her before but, after seeing her fall of her pop princess thrown I kinda wanna see her make it through this. She was such an icon and now she seems just like any other fragile real person. It would be great to see her come back and over come this.
