Sam Lutfi somehow got hold of Barbara Walters this weekend -- and fiwwed her in on Britney's mental problems -- saying they are "treatable." Praise Jebus!
Brit's ersatz manager, via Babwa on today's episode of "The View," says Spears has visited a psychiatrist and is in touch with her mother -- who arrived in Los Angeles last night.

Maybe mean - but as long as she ISN'T seeing Dr. Phil - I have hope she can get her life together. too bad her mther is on the scene. There is another one who could use a LOT if intervention! The whole family should go into rehab AND LEARN WHAT BEING A MOTHER AND FATHER REALLY MEANS! I does NOT mean partying with your kids - but showing guidence and be an example - -none of what they have done so far. Hard to tell a 26 year old anything.

Whoopi makes me laugh.. I think it's all a ploy to get attention and I think that it's ridiculous. Although I am glad that she in touch with her mother and getting help I find this so strange.. Why doesn't Brit just go on the View it seems such a strange person to contact Mrs. Walters. So Very Very strange

gee thanks sam fluffty.
We wouldn't want to get monday started off without some Brit news.
At least she stayed away from Adnan this weekend. It looks like she finally realized her kids are gone and she might want to take some steps to try and recover the relationship.
Then again, one twenty minute visit and she should be satisfied for another thirty days.

Good job Britney! This is what you need to do. No one can do it alone and we know you love your boys. Visiting with the psychiatrist can ONLY help you and facilitate you seeing Sean and Jayden. DO what they recommend know matter how tough it may seem now. Go back to blonde and tan!!

I can't wait for the day that they take the View off of the air. Probably will never happen.

when Barbara finds out how disreputable Lutfi is she will distance herself from the call, the same way she tried to distance herself from the Hilton's when Paris got out of jail. I also found it interesting that she tried to spin it like he has been her manager for a long time instead of for the last few months. Hopefully this won't backfire on her the way Dr. Phil's interference backfired on him.
