Brit Could Be Involuntary Commitment Candidate

Posted Jan 31st 2008 8:16PM by TMZ Staff

Sources at UCLA Medical Center tell TMZ Britney Spears has been classified as "G.D." -- Gravely Disabled. That is a huge and dangerous deal. That means the patient is unable to take care of basic needs, such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter. Being G.D. is one of the criteria for involuntary commitment.

Several health care professionals tell us Britney has fallen into a "manic state" due to her bipolar disorder. We're also told she arrived at the hospital this morning at around 2:15 AM, but wasn't admitted until 4:15 AM because she was causing such a scene in the hospital.

We first reported that Britney accused her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend. Now we have more. We're told Britney screamed, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!" Britney never said exactly who she was talking about.

When Brit calmed down, she talked about her kids, how much she misses them and how it's unfair that she doesn't have them.

31. Wouldn't BRIT and TOM CRUISE make a lovely couple? They have virtually identical mental faculties and BOTH believe in MULTIPLE marriages. Xenu here we come ... That brainwashed "current" wife of his could still hang around, too. Brit loves chicks AND guys. She can watch all the children that will come from such a union while Tomdud and BritishBrat run amuck.

32. #6 - you may think Slutney needs to see her kids but they sure as hell shouldn't see her or be anywhere around her for a very long time.

34. Isn't that the real bottom line? SHE MISSES HER KIDS!! It's as if they were killed to her. Taken away. Gone! Enough to send anyone over the edge. I really feel for her and I don't even have kids. If you look at her past all was fine until she was under the microscope about how good or bad of a mom she was. For God's Sake, how good or bad can a mom be if she isn't even given a chance? I also, think that no matter what, she is a very STRONG woman. I know once things turn her way, she will be fine.

The above outlines the antipaparazzi laws in California, born from Prinesses Di's tragedy. But, obviously more needs to be done to protect the public at large from the stalkarazzi frenzies!

37. TMZ You say your sources are from health care professions ,there is a law protecting patient's medical info, records called HIPPA. Your putting the Hospital workers and the hospital in a bad place. If you didn't hear it from there media spokesperson.

38. My question is.........WILL TMZ BUY FLOWERS FOR HER FUNERAL??? They should at least do that. They owe that to her at the VERY least.

41. The Paps aren't causing the problem. If they were, every other celeb that gets followed would be doing the same krap she is!

It's good to see they FINALLY got her in a place where she can't harm others, and it looks like it won't be a quick trip!
