Britney Went Willingly

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned the plan to get Britney into UCLA Medical Center had been hatched for days -- it was aborted last night, but executed just minutes ago.

Back at her house, Britney's psychiatrist told her she was going to the hospital. Her response was, "Is something wrong?" She was not resistant. She made hot chocolate and waited before paramedics arrived and placed her on a gurney.

We're told the psychiatrist felt her condition had deteriorated. Britney had not slept since Saturday -- a day and half longer than she stayed up in recent memory.

The reason she's at UCLA is her new treating psychiatrist practices out of that medical center.

We're told during her initial 72-hour stay she cannot be forced to take medication against her will. If, however, she refuses to take meds, the plan is for the the psych to go to court and have Britney held for an additional 14 days, during which time she can administer proper medications.

And get this ironic twist -- Lynne Spears and Adnan drove to the Medical Center in the same car. A source tells us when Lynne found out Britney was being committed, she blamed it on Sam and was extremely agitated. When Brit heard that, she screamed to her mother, "Shut the hell up."

3. It's likely she'll flip out again and refuse meds, so I hope the shrink is already in contact with their attorney to get the 14 day stint in motion.

4. I really feel for Britney. I have a son who's Bipolar, and Brit displays all of the same attributes. I really hope she gets the help that she needs. Problem is - she has to want the help, or she's doomed to repeat this same scene over and over. How sad for her boys.

9. This is so wrong.

Can't someone just be a whack-job without getting thrown into the looney bin?

10. I care about Brit. I'm glad she's committed. It's for her own good. That stupid Lynne Spears is just a POOR excuse for a mother! It's been reported that Brit lost her virginity at age 14 and was experimenting with drugs at age 14. Where was Brit's parents??! Clearly, Brit needs to be hospitalized!

14. The fat psychotic eagle has landed. Anyway to 5150 her entire group, including her mother. FAA clearing airspace. This is getting outragous. Why didn't they call in swat, or maybe the secret service. Better yet James Bond in a tux could have taken her to the nut ward.

15. I think her mother is really NOT good for her! All this woman cares about is the PUBLIC appearance of her daughter! Not her medical needs!
