Britney Spears arrested and in hospital.

Britney Spears was detained last night by police after holding her own children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, hostage and refusing to hand them over to their father, Kevin Federline, at 7pm on Thursday night.

The police arrived shortly thereafter and threatened to arrest Spears if she did not return the children, after a further stand off an intoxicated Spears eventually capitulated to their demands and the two babies, Sean And Jayden were released.

The Mail reported...

'Federline's lawyer Mark Kaplan also arrived at the house around 8pm but left a short time later.
But despite efforts to talk Britney round she refused to give up the kids and is believed to have barricaded herself up in the house.
By 11pm there were five police cars, the fire department and paramedics at the mansion with a police helicopter hovering overhead."

An ambulance was called for Britney after she collapsed, and she was brought to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in LA where she is undergoing tests to determine if she is under the influence of drugs. A dazed but conscious Britney was then then admitted.
This is on the back of another fucked up week for Britney, in where she missed another court appointment, had her legal team quit over her outrageous behaviour, and slept with a married tabloid journalist.

Is anyone surprised it was going to come to this? Not me, I"m only surprised it took this long. This girl has been riding the coat tails of all out madness for more than a year now. All the sign were blatant and right out in the open, the car crashes, the head shaving, the umbrella attack, the constant attempts to garner attention, the terrible award show where she looked dazed and uncomfortable. Shit, this is all that girl has left.
You know, I do sort of feel sorry for her, she was a child star, and while I know lots of other child stars manage the crossover successfully I believe many of them came from a secure background, with tight bonds and good managers.
Britney's sinking fast. And unless the public want another Anna Nicole on our hands- and I personally don't- then her people, whoever they are, need to get her serious help.
(although it is like watching a particularly slow train wreck)
