It finally happened. Britney Spears has hit rock bottom. Well, by Hollywood standards anyway.
This weekend saw Ms Spears very publicly taken to the psych ward at UCLA Medical Center, and things really haven't improved much since the initial three day observation have elapsed. In fact, they've ordered her to stay another two weeks. Like everyone's been saying, it's fairly obvious she's a little crazy.
Her father and one of her attorneys have been named as conservators through Valentine's Day. The conservators were appointed after there was much debate over who could make decisions regarding her health, resulting in a battle between Brit's parents, Brit herself, and Brit's manager Sam Lufti.
Lufti currently has a restraining order on him that mandates he neither call nor visit the pop singer.
There were some hearings yesterday to determine whether Britney could have some supervised visitation with her kids in a "therapeutic setting". Since her current setting is a psych ward, the motion was put on hold for the time being. A court appointed lawyer also visited with Spears and reported to the Commissioner that she was not competent enough to grasp the nature of the current legal proceedings or the effect they could have on her life.
Painful as this all is to see, and somewhat sickening in the detail it's being covered, it is good that she's finally getting the help she needs. Let's hope those in charge of her well being really do have that in mind this time around.
