Britney Spears checks into rehab
Wed Feb 21, 2007 5:24AM EST

By Dan Whitcomb

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Britney Spears has entered a rehabilitation center, her spokesman said on Tuesday, after the troubled pop star's recent wild ways escalated this weekend to a bizarre incident in which she shaved her own head.

"Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today," publicist Larry Rudolph said in a statement. "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those (privacy concerns) of her family and friends at this time."

Rudolph did not elaborate on the treatment Spears was seeking or where the facility was located -- though People magazine and TMZ.com both reported that it was in Los Angeles and that the 25-year-old singer checked in at the urging of family members.

Since her split with husband Kevin Federline in November after two years of marriage, Spears has raised eyebrows with heavy partying, sometimes with celebrity heiress Paris Hilton, and a series of pictures that caught the Grammy-winning entertainer wearing no panties under her short skirts.

This January, Spears posted an impassioned letter to her fans on her official Web site (www.britneyspears.com) in which she acknowledged that her image had taken a beating and pledged to come back "bigger and better than ever."

But on Friday reports swirled that Spears, a former child star who exploded onto the pop scene as a teenager and has since sold 70 million albums, had entered rehab on the Caribbean island of Antigua, only to drop out 24 hours later.

Later that evening she was spotted at a hair salon in Los Angeles, shaving her own head in pictures that made headlines around the world. She followed that up with a trip to a tattoo parlor and on Sunday night she was photographed heading into a West Hollywood night club wearing an ill-fitting blonde wig.

Her Web site has been taken down and replaced with a message saying that a new one was in the works.

After she filed for divorce, Federline quickly sought custody of the couple's two young sons Sean Preston and James Jayden, claiming that he needed to "safeguard" them.

Child welfare authorities visited Spears twice in 2006 after she was photographed driving a car with her infant son on her lap, and after Sean Preston fell from a high chair and hit his head. No charges were brought.

Since early in her career, Spears has generated as much attention for her personal life as for her music, including a highly publicized romance and break-up with singer Justin Timberlake.

Spears famously pledged in 1999 to keep her virginity intact until her wedding day but gradually shed that image as she grew in popularity, assuming a more overtly sexual persona known for provocative costumes and stage performances.

Britney in rehab for 3rd time in a week
Thu Feb 22, 2007 5:47PM EST

By Jill Serjeant

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Britney Spears' in-again out-again rehab saga found her back in a Malibu facility on Thursday, halting an emergency court hearing in which estranged husband Kevin Federline planned to discuss custody of their two children.

Celebrity Web sites reported that the pop singer returned late on Wednesday to the Promises rehabilitation center, which she had fled earlier in the day after less than 24 hours of treatment.

Spears' spokesman did not return calls for comment on the reports, which followed a turbulent week that has seen one of the world's best-known pop stars in and out of rehab three times and shaving her own head.

The Web site of syndicated TV show Extra said there was video showing her driving through the gates of the luxury Promises center with her mother.

Other reports said Spears returned after seeking a meeting with Federline on Wednesday but being denied entry to the house where he is staying with their children, Jayden James, 5 months old, and Sean Preston, 17 months old.

Spears filed for divorce in November after two years of marriage and both she and Federline are seeking custody.

Several reports said Spears returned for a full 30-45 days of treatment after Federline gave her a last chance to get help or risk losing custody of the children.

Los Angeles County Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said the family court was notified on Wednesday that papers requesting a hearing on the children could be filed. But Parachini said Federline's lawyers had called to say no court action would be held on Thursday.

"Kevin continues to be a very focused father with his children's best interests at heart," said a statement from Mark Vincent Kaplan, read by the lawyer's publicist, Michael Sands.

Spears hit the nightclub circuit hard after splitting with Federline and shocked fans when photographs of her getting out of cars showed she wasn't wearing panties under her miniskirts.

Last week, she was reported to have entered and fled a rehab center in Antigua after staying for less than a day.

When she returned to Los Angeles, she shaved off all her hair after a stylist refused to do it and got two new tattoos.
