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.

78. Hey, you idiots who say Kevin just wants the kids for the money, and he doesn't give a crap about his 2 other kids. You people are morons. His other 2 kids have a MOM who doesn't go out drinking, doing drugs and whoring it up. Good for him for stepping up and tossin' her ass out when she tried to see her kids.

It's about time he stepped up and did what a REAL man would do.

79. What a sorry choice(if you want to call it that) as to who gets the children. Does anyone have a third option? People need to focus on what's important in life. Those children deserve to have a mother and father that love and put them first. It is more important to be good than to be famous, rich, and successful. People need to get their priorities straight. I worry about the state the whole world is in

82. You gave your all to make it to the top;
But now the paparazzi and prying eyes just won’t stop.
You’re a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend…
Just because you’re a celebrity you’re basic rights to privacy shouldn’t end.

A gold digger husband, a childhood unlived,
And greedy ‘handlers’ repeatedly saying yes,
No wonder such a beautiful fairy tale became such a mess.

Reclaim that inner beauty
Fight for it. Scream for it. Take your life back.
Even though the paparazzi continues to attack.
Ignore ‘em. Don’t worry what the onlookers think.
F*#k ‘em all. You’re a southern girl
And honey, you know,
we’re all born with invisible balls.

Remember this, Brit, from one who understands…

Sunnier days are going to come,
Just you wait and see.
The next mountain you cross won’t be so steep;
The thorns won’t dig as deep
Look inside yourself to see God’s shining light within,
It will guide you down the path that’s right,
And the sun will shine again.

God bless you and Godspeed your recovery.

83. 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

84. Britney is a Ho. What an embarrassment. She belongs in jail

85. The Demon that she is fighting seems to have a very strong grip and I just pray that she is able to fight back and save her own life. Whether you are a fan or not how can you pass judgment on another person’s life. I agree that Kevin should be caring for the children and it is very ugly what she is doing to herself, but I pray that she recovers as I would for anyone dealing with addiction.

86. If you're going to believe ANYTHING MSNBC puts out, then you may as well believe Britney' hooters are real.

87. The messiness of others makes reporters and funeral directors wealthy. It is also fun to watch.

88. Honestly, I thought this was an old story about the last time she went in -- I didn't realize until seeing the Feb. 22 date ... Whitney Houston went through worse than this for years and at any point she was more in need of intervention than this overgrown Mouseketeer. The worst part is she has two kids to be responsible for -- having the wealth to have 24/7 care is no substitute for real nurturing.

89. Well I have to say that Kevin not letting Britney see her kids is an eye opener. Maybe she offered him more money or maybe when the kids were happy and felt safe they refused to go..who knows! It sad to say but the boys are better off with Kevin for now. He seems to be somewhat stable and more discret about himself now. All I have to say now is get the help you need Brit and get your boys back and Kevin if she doesn't finish rehab .... GET THE BOYS!!!!!

90. I sort of wonder if she is in fact an addict... or if she needs mental health services. I mean.. I dont think that going out at night.... even getting drunk and throwing up... makes an addict. I know I had months like that (well, sans the barf) when I was younger... and my daughter was home safe with a sitter. I didnt sleep all day.. and I certainly wasnt a bad mom. And there are people out all the time... I just wonder if she is not staying in rehab because she just isnt an addict.... Maybe an inpatient hospital program would be better. How about the one Mariah went to a few years ago...... Bleh.

I wonder if K-Fed really did get money out of her to call off the dogs.

The reports from the people she was with... well it just sounds like mentally and emotionally out of control... not necessarily addiction, just dealing with the problems in a detrimental way. It isnt like this has been going on for years... it has been going on for a fairly short period of time after traumatic events (birth... and loss/grief (divorce.. her aunt.....) )
