Britney's Stay Will Be Extended

Posted Feb 2nd 2008 6:15PM by TMZ Staff

It's not a done deal, but expect that sometime tonight, papers will be signed at UCLA extending Britney Spears' stay at the psych ward -- by 14 days.

It's an internal process -- done without a court order. But we're told it will indeed happen, and that's not surprising given her mental health. As we first reported, Britney's been diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder.

The ward Britney is in is considered one of the best in the nation for the treatment she is receiving.

91. She needs this yes.. I feel sorry for her yes... BUT....

I think her environment pulled her into this mess... no childhood... straight into stardom, or whatever you call it...

And constantly watched, idolized, mocked.. ridiculed.. what else can I say.. that would drive any of us to our grave.

Everyone needs to back off.. let her heal.. when she gets out.. back off... let her heal.... give her room.

Encourage, not riducule..not trash.. not rip apart.. build up.. she is a human being.. that obviously needs help, love, care, and left alone by morons!!!!!!!

92. Good! The longer they keep her, the safer the public will be without her out on the streets. It's NO JOKE!

95. Everyone who misbehaves has bipolar disorder in this day and age. The medical community and pharmaceutical company will make big bucks off Britney, so they're going to make it sound like she's as sick as can be. What she needs is to get rid of the demons she's attracted by her sleazy and immoral actions.

96. I'm sick of reading how people can't seem to see that her ex- manager Sam is the bad guy in all this! He is the only one that has been close to her while she has been spiraling out of control! Remember Ana Nicole Smith and her son Daniel? Remember what happened to both of them? Who was in control of her assets? Howard K. Stern! He was made executor of her will. He married her before she died and he made sure she was drugged up all the time! He probably killed her son,too! He took advantage of her! Sam Lutfi has been taking advantage of Britney Too! Thank God her parents have control, they are trying to save their daughter the best way they know how!

97. I wonder when Tom Cruise is going to open his stupid mouth about her mental illness. Maybe she just needs to change her diet and get more exercise.

98. I hope they can do her some good in the next two weeks. Her dad is in control of her affairs for now, and he's no prize, but he's a lot better than the alternative. Keep Lufti away from her, he's only looking out for himself. Let's hope this has a happy ending.

99. Wouldn't it be nice if Kevin brought the kids to see their mom? She needs some form of hope to get better.

100.

Time to lock up Kelli & jr too!

Lock them in a Carl Jr's - for all the $6 burgers with a tunnel to KFC!

101. I hear sam broke into her home and stole some tapes and stuff..hope he gets charged.

Two more weeks for Britney if everything works out. I guess the paps are really going to have to buck up and show some stamina. I bet they are running out and buying camping gear as we speack.

Leave the Spears family alone and let this woman get her life back together.
(and this is coming from someone who really soaked up all her problems)

103. Off Topic for a good reason. Please do something people

111. We strong bitches need to bombard Stark County Police with emails of outrage. strkshrf@raex.com

I am in total shock and am so upset right now I can't see straight. The policemen should be fired and charges of assault placed on them.

Watch the news clip and graphic video here: They left her for 6 hours naked on the jail floor for all the other cops to come by and gawk
