EXCLUSIVE: Britney Spears Hadn't Slept Since Saturday, "There Was No Suicide Attempt"
A source close to Britney Spears tells Usmagazine.com her early morning trip to the hospital was “ a carefully orchestrated intervention.” Lynne Spears — who arrived in L.A. Sunday night — “flew out for it, and her lawyers have been coordinating all along with the Los Angeles Police Department,” the source says. “They were ready and had everything in place." The source adds that “there was never a suicide attempt. Once her family convinced her to go, she went in willingly.” Spears, the source adds, “had been up since Saturday without any sleep. But that was a good situation for her to be in because she would be too exhausted to protest going in." Because the hospital check-in was planned, “ there's a much higher likelihood they'll be able to extend her stay beyond the 5150,” the source says. 5150 means that Spears can spend up to 72 hours in a locked mental institution and must be monitored by trained professionals like a psychiatrist or a nurse.

  • yeah but I do feel a tiny bit sorry for her. if she really is mentally ill then it's good she's getting help. of course she could have chosen to do that herself rather than making such a public mess of her life, but still.
