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 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 ...

48. 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.

49. 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!!!

52. Re: How LA people are "so sad". I am an LA woman and can assure you that "everyone" does NOT go out at midnight - stay out until 3am after only a few drinks...blah blah blah. What's sad is that you not only generalize about LA or Hollywood types, but I'm sure a lot of Wisconson folks (i.e. my mom who was raised in Milwaukee) would take exception to your statement that you all start drinking at 11 years old and drink all night long! LOL By the way, Britney's not even an LA native by the way - most Hollywood types are not. Britney is one of many many individuals who come to California with high hopes of making it rich and famous. There is a lot to be said for being content with what you have and to surround yourself with family and friends who will be there for you - all the time.

53. The paparazzi isn't the problem, neither is Britney. It's the damn people that want to read about her every single fucking day. It's the women's fault really. Bitchy lonely stay at home moms that act holier than thou, chicks that are bored at their menial secretarial job, etc.. Who else has the damn time to call CPS on someone they are reading in the tabloids? "omg omg poor children" Fuck her children. Take this for what is it, It's entertainment. Do you really give a fuck about two little trashy boys? Do you go searching for BigFoot because you read about it in the Enquirer?

And giving the kids to K-Fed? Lol. Britney is in a bad shape .. It "seems" like K-Fed is the better parent.

Bet these stupid women called PETA too for that puppy. Fucking women.

57. I am SHOCKED at the hatred being spewed on Britney by some of the people posting here. I know I'll get attacked for this, because there are several people who have nothing better to do with their time, but enough is enough.

This whole story has gone from laughable to tragic in days.

I am by no means a fan of Britney, I've never liked her music and I've looked at her as just another pop star who does not have lasting talent.

That being said, she is a lost little girl. She was pushed into the spotlight at too young of an age, and there was little to no control exerted over her. It's prevalent of young stars today....the parents relinquish control early (hello Dina) and then can't gain it back. The people who then step in and surround the stars exert so much power, it's almost a form of brainwashing.

ANYway, Britney should forget about a new record, forget about a comeback, forget about all of it. She has two young sons she needs to get healthy for. She really just needs to go back to Louisiana, surround herself with family and people who knew and loved her before she became "Britney" and get her life back in order away from the toxicity of L.A.

I wish her the best of luck....she's really going to need it.

58. this is truly sad. she was famous at such a young age, that is not a normal life. where do you run to when you finally realize people only want to be with you because you are in the spotlight? i'm not a fan of brit's but the mom in me just wants to give her a hug and tuck her into bed and let her sleep until she feels better. she needs to dissapear literally so she has some chance at normalcy before she destroys herself. and as much as i hate to say it, maybe federline was more grounded than brit? but he sure loved spending her dough which did not leave a good impression on her fans. sad sad sad

59. It just kills me how these people (Anna Nicole too) don't have a clue on raising decent children. I would cherish the ground my child walked on and I can't have children....It also amazes me how these peole are rolling in money and acting the way they do while I work a 8-5 job 5 days a week and have been working the last 30 years and I struggle to make a descent life for myself.....life makes you wonder.....

60. Everyone is missing the obvious. She shaved her head because if there is a custody battle and they do a drug test on her hair she would never get her children because of the multitude of illegal drugs she would test positive for, at least she can flush her system for a pee test. Duh!
