Britney Spears has been released from the psychiatric ward at UCLA Medical Center, the L.A. Times is reporting.
According to the paper, Spears slipped quietly out -- compared to the massive fanfare that went on the night she went in.
A law enforcement source tells TMZ the hospital let her go "because she was no longer required to stay there after 11:30 AM." We have not confirmed this independently, however, if the hospital decides Britney is no longer a danger to herself or others, the hospital loses its basis to hold her against her will.

I'm reading that Tom Cruise staged an intervention and she's gone off to be "helped" by the Scientologists. What a good idea. Crazies treating crazies...
Here we go.... How can they find just 2 days ago she was unable to hire legal counsel and today she is ready to go home? All of the stories to not add up..
seriously people, how can you make such rude comments? if they didn't think she was capable, they WOULDN'T LET HER GO! it's one of the most reputable hospitals not only in the country, but the world. you don't even know what has happened before the hospital, or while in the hospital, but you still continue to judge - can't you guys for once actually wish someone well?
Ha hA I said she'd be out by Tuesday
I was off only a day!!!!!!!!
crap... i want her to get better... i hope the ppl from LA Times are wrong
Listen to your Mom and Dad. They love you, and they'll do you right, and lead you back to your children.
This is a terrible idea. She will go right back to Sam and this will all start over again. I can't believe the hospital released her. They need to have their heads examined as well.
This is crazy she truely needs help and they let her out after requesting to hold her another 14 days? WTF?!! PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS GIRL, GOD WILLING SHE WILL NOT END UP DEAD SOON!
I'm sure she will reconnect with her enabler and Sam Luft
Brit must have seen that the TMZ website has been kinda blah without her. WAY TO GO Brit!
Who they hell released her and where did she go? Man I'm glad I don't live in CA near her I'd be very afraid to drive on the same streets...
Does Mom and Dad know this???
