Another drama-fest night for Britney Spears. She was taken to a hospital by ambulance and a small army of cops under a "5150 Hold" followed by legions of paparazzi. Both of Britney's parents were there and Sam Lutfi. She's in for at least 3 days now, but possibly longer.
We're told there is a "good possibility" that it will be extended to 14 days. We've also learned there have been several parallel attempts to get Britney on a 5150. Her lawyers, Anne Kiley and Tara Scott, secured a new psychiatrist late last week -- he's the one who triggered the 5150 last night.
At the same time, we're told Britney's mother, father and brother have been "working closely with the LAPD for weeks" to get her back in for psychiatric care.

It seems that she did go willingly, but that she hasn't been taking her prescribed medication and her psychiatrist felt she was a danger to herself and others by her reckless driving. Duh!
Last night, Britney's new psychiatrist went to her home and felt she was a danger to herself and others -- partly because of her reckless driving and partly because of her "downhill behavior." As a result, the shrink launched a plan (days in the making) to have Britney committed to UCLA Medical Center by calling the cops.
Sources tell us the cops knew it was coming. In fact, the plan was for cops and paramedics to take Britney away the night before, but it was scrubbed. Last night, it all went down according to plan. Cops even used code to minimize craziness in transporting Britney to the hospital. Over the police radio, she was referred to as "The Package."

Yep, this is our tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen.
Our sources say Britney said she was on Adderall, a stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder, and was taking up to ten laxatives a day. Side note - cameras caught Spears a few days ago picking up a bagful of laxatives.
We're also told, when she was admitted, Britney accused her mom of "sleeping with my boyfriend." She wasn't specific on who she was referring to.
We're also told for a time she was hurling swearwords at her parents and staff.

10 laxatives a day must be her weight loss plan. I've heard of people doing that, but it seriously screws up your system. Kevin Federline's got to be really happy he jumped off the crazy-train early.
