Britney's In It To Win It!
Filed under: Britney Spears
Whether she likes it or not….
Britney's stay at UCLA Medical Center's psych ward is going to be extended.
Spears, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, will be staying in the hospital for another 14 days.
And hopefully she will receive some kind of outpatient treatment after that!

Go BRITNEY GO GO

We love you!!!
WAIT!! Does that mean two weeks without update on this live train wreck!!
Good for her,
ya get well brit
She's more borderline than bipolar.
hopefully she'll stay in there longer than 14 days so she can get even more help.
ALL THE HATERS.. FUCK YOU.. SERIOUSLY.
I'M SO GLAD SHE IS GETTING THE HELP SHE NEEDS, YAY! GO BRITT!
Glad she's finally getting the help she needs. Make no mistake though, this is her PARENTS and the STATES doing. She's not capable of making any decisions. And after these 14 days, I hope she retires with all her money and stays the fuck out of our faces.
hope she gets better and i know her parents want wats best for her, as a parents love for a child is unexplainable , i hope she lets them back in her life and i hope she appreciates them for it…..
2ND
Let's see if they actually keep her there for the whole time…
GET WELL
SECOND!!!
FINALLY.
i tried!
That's very good news. Hopefully her Parents can continue to help her recover.
Dr. Phil,
Please be quiet from here on out.
Thank you,
Kimmie
Have her parents gotten to see the kids or are they banned too?
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE PEREZ!!

Don't you realize that Brit could CARE-LESS about you? She's a self-absorbed pop princess - before and after her craziness. I don't get how y'all stick by her like she's brought so much joy to people….she cares about herself ONLY. Get better, Brit…but then leave US ALONE.
Oh thank god!!! This is a good start!
poor Brit…get well soon!
Get well Brit Brit!!!
Jeez…..and then who will you suck dry next…..you're no better then the parasite paps…..
#2
Get well sweetheart!!!!
YOU GOT MY EMAIL!!!!
and by the way perez, i'm really glad that you've decided to be on Team Britney instead of mocking her. it's good you've had a change of heart, and your support of her is only gonna make her healing process more successful and fast.
Good for her. Get well soon.
fsdafafdfs
I hope they determine how bad a BD she is, I think she just might be a mild case and got severe due to the self-medication and craziness she surrounded herself with.
Perez, if you're rooting for Britney (which is almost sounds like you are), stop posting the "supposed" stories about that creep Sam.
get well, Britney! I love!
Good bye all, I have decided to get a life and stop hitting this site. Maybe you should do the same!
Get Well Britney, we love you.
Stay Strong.
xox
get well brit
can someone tell me how to make one of those smiley faces show up in comments…..PLEASE?
Good for her.. Keep at it and forget anyone that has negative things to say.. it is NOT worth your time.
good call on that.. go team britney!
good for britney! she so needs help and i really empathize with her. GOOD LUCK TO HER!!
i'm glad.
i hope she gets well.
i think all she needs is support, from family, friends, and the public.
SAVE BRITNEY.
wELl.. i LOvE bRItnybRit!! i StIll hAvE thE IdEa ThAt ShE Can mAkE hEr BIg COmE Back I hOpe That ShE gEt BEttEr!!
That is by far the best thing for her. Good to know.
PLEASEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Listen to you people 'go Britney' 'we love you Britney'! How about GET A GRIP come back down to earth and get on with your life. She needs to take time out and get herself together, she is young and has plenty of cash to pull it off.
it's about time! good for her. i hope she sticks to the meds, though…
Figured she's bipolar but I still don't see it ending well for her. She didn't see herself as bipolar or as someone needing help so she is there only by the effort of her parents and probably a few others. Once she is discharged do you think she'll take her meds, go for therapy etc? Don't count on it. She might do it for a little bit, just in keeping with the situation but that's the difference between someone who believes they have a problem and want to be fixed, and someone who thinks all is great and had to be almost forced to go to the hospital.
ITS HER ONLY HOPE AT SANITY AND GETTING HER KIDS BACK. I HOPE IT WORKS FOR HER FOR THE SAKE OF HER KIDS
Pere, if you wanted us to never buy another thing she is involved in , then you did a good job. We are so sick of her, we could
KILL OURSELVES ALREADY.
AS WANDA SYKES WOULD PUT IT, "GET IT TOGETHER BABY!" I HAVE MORE RESPECT FOR HER PARENTS NOW FOR GETTING THAT UGLY FOREIGN PUNK OUT OF HER LIFE. LET'S JUST WATCH THOSE ANTI-GAY COMMENTS BRITNEY. WE'RE EVERYWHERE IN YOUR BUSINESS….WORK AND SOCIAL….NOT TO MENTION HALF YOUR FAN BASE….WELL NOT ME ANYWAY….BUT GET BETTER….DO IT FOR THE CHRIS CROCKERS OUT THERE…TEE HEE
Get well Britney!!!!!
I'd rather see her be let out, she is just a normal person, not all the ADD, Bipolar, etc psych babble bull shit
best luck to brit misdiagnosed bipolar is the worst…her struggle has just begun
Hope she moves somewhere without the meth and media madness, and stays clean. Hope a driver's test will be included, and a high-school diploma while we're on the wishlist.
BTW, whenever I see a picture of her with a microdog, I think of the South Park episode with Paris Hilton and her suicidal chihuahua.
check out kid dakota : sweet band
Finally she gets the help she needs!!!! I'm so glad that hospital realized it….and wont let her out. I was already guessing that she would get out after the 72 hours were complete!!!! Hopefully she will realize she has a problem and stay longer, or get extra help!!! Get better Britney…and hopefully she stays away from Sam (I really do think he is the thief!!!)
What Are the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?
.
Bipolar disorder causes dramatic mood swings—from overly “high” and/or irritable to sad and hopeless, and then back again, often with periods of normal mood in between. Severe changes in energy and behavior go along with these changes in mood. The periods of highs and lows are called episodes of mania and depression.
Signs and symptoms of mania (or a manic episode) include:
Increased energy, activity, and restlessness
Excessively “high,” overly good, euphoric mood
Extreme irritability
Racing thoughts and talking very fast, jumping from one idea to another
Distractibility, can’t concentrate well
Little sleep needed
Unrealistic beliefs in one’s abilities and powers
Poor judgment
Spending sprees
A lasting period of behavior that is different from usual
Increased sexual drive
Abuse of drugs, particularly cocaine, alcohol, and sleeping medications
Provocative, intrusive, or aggressive behavior
Denial that anything is wrong
A manic episode is diagnosed if elevated mood occurs with three or more of the other symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for 1 week or longer. If the mood is irritable, four additional symptoms must be present.
FUCKING TIRED OF THE BRITNEY SHIT
she needs a longer stay to really get the help she needs!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God hopefully now she will get the help that she needs and the peace she deserves! Get Well Britney!
oh my dear. i am not sure if she will ever ever ever get out of there again. she hates her parents… it's possible that she will completely lose it! … and they probably took her phone, her access to the outside world. how is she going to talk to her "friends" like adan (by the way, where is that whore?) or lufti … - she doesn't trust her parents. maybe she's got every reason not do so! who knows the real story. i hope she wont go totally nuts right now. forever…!!!
Please. No more Britney. I'm overdosing. I request a media blackout.

Perez you're such a knob, you have driven this woman to this state and now you feel guilty, I hope you feel as bad as you look a$$wipe.
BRITNEY FORVER.

HAHAHA look it the title of the book in the picture (right of Britney's head) it says 'MOTEL FETISH', Britney doesn't have a Motel/Hotel Fetish, right?
I doubt she's bipolar, Tbh.
Excessive and prolonged drug use can produce the same symptoms as bipolar disorder. It's more likely that brit's been smoking the crack pipe than it is that she's Bipolar.
Why are all you haters making comments? If you hate Perez or you hate celebrity gossip, go do something else! Lame…
Anyways, it makes sense that we care that britney does good, becuase she's been famous for a while and i feel like i know her and want the best for her. i'm not happy when people are in her face all the time.
perez is nothing like the paps because he's not crazy. haters, please just leave us all alone and get a life!
thanks for letting us know the latest on our girl brit brit
has she OFFICALLY been diagnosed?
Get Well Brit you have so much to fight for. We love ya,
When I lived in Weho, I had some crazy bitch that lived below me. Twice she was taken away strapped to a gurney, 5150, the second time was cuz she went off her bi-polar meds,two weeks prior was a hell of a E-ticket ride. That is some strong shit, when they get her ass on it, and someone is there to make sure she stays on it, the fun is over, as is her career, she will become a subdued zombie, which in comparison to the last three weeks, probably a good thing. Just my two cents.
Thank God no more shitney for 14 days.HALLELUJAH.
Leave her alone. Please. All this attention is killing her. She do not know how to handle it. Yeah we love all of your gossip. But please, give britney a break. If not, she will end up like Heath Ledger. And when she does, you will write stuf like "sad". Come on! YOU are killing her!
Good, this looks like the start of a new britney. It will take time but if she gets the help, she will be able to sort her life out. Get well brit brit !!!
WAHOOOOOOOO! i am sooo happy…hopefully her life can get back on track!
Re: kimmie – Hey Kimmie…. do you live in TX???
She is staying in the hospital to have her FAKE British accent surgically removed….uh, thank god.
That's a great idea. Take it easy, girl. Take your time. Nothing is more important than the way you feel.
#50… too true.. not to mention Lithium which I believe is still the drug of choice of mania.. make you feel like shit and puts on weight so she will deep six that pretty soon,.. she's probably already hiding the pills in the hospital unless they are giving her IV meds.. as much as I hate the thought..her drama is far from over yet.
You go Brit Brit! Make us proud! We will be here waiting in the wings to once again hand you your crown of queen of pop!! Stay strong mija!
Get well Brit!!
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person’s mood, energy, and ability to function. Different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe. They can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. But there is good news: bipolar disorder can be treated, and people with this illness can lead full and productive lives.
About 5.7 million American adults or about 2.6 percent of the population age 18 and older in any given year,1 have bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder typically develops in late adolescence or early adulthood. However, some people have their first symptoms during childhood, and some develop them late in life. It is often not recognized as an illness, and people may suffer for years before it is properly diagnosed and treated. Like diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder is a long-term illness that must be carefully managed throughout a person’s life.
“Manic-depression distorts moods and thoughts, incites dreadful behaviors, destroys the basis of rational thought, and too often erodes the desire and will to live. It is an illness that is biological in its origins, yet one that feels psychological in the experience of it; an illness that is unique in conferring advantage and pleasure, yet one that brings in its wake almost unendurable suffering and, not infrequently, suicide.”
hey perez, love your blog, read it all the time… just a few things freak me about the britney saga and i think they would any other normal person, the fact that the mental overload and nervous breakdown of a young woman (and mother, who was don't forget married to a ratarse) can be scruntinised and commodified to such an extent that it is scary…it is all about money, every magazine etc that has a 'britney breakdown' story sells, sells, sells…why do we have such an appetite for watching other people's destruction?? i think we should leave britney alone (in her own private hell as it may be) and let the girl recover and experience some level of normality in her crazy life before she is hounded to death by papparazzo
Doctors are soooo dangerous.
Bipolar doesn't make you talk in a British accent, retards.
Bipoloar doesn't make you sleep with other women.
She's pure bi sexual.
Leave the whore alone and let her live her bi sexual lifestyle.
I know doctor Phil and Judge Judy are behind this.
And so is fat ass Oprah who wants to destroy America by promoting black people.
It's truly disgusting.
Spit.
This is terrible.
Remember the story of Frances Farmer and what her mother did to her?!
I am glad finally that Britney is getting help. No one should be laughing anymore. I was diagnosed with Bipolar at the early stage so I can relate to some of the symptoms she face. Luckily, I got help right away and I am doing great. I am on medication and I wish her all the best. Thank goodness her parents stpped in. It was time.
I DONT THINK SHE IS BIPOLAR MY SISTER IS AND IS NOTHING LIKE BRIT TRUTHFULLY I THINK SHE IS HAVING A NERVOUS BREAK DOWN NO MATTER WHAT I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER O AND SHE MAYBE SHE HAS MULTIPERSONALITY DISORDER
this is the beginning of her being 'saved'
still dont know whos side i should be on: lufti's or jamie/lynns :S
now zhe can do drugz legally
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zmart move
zzzzzzzz
Re: Dr. Psyche –
I think it's funny that YOU are trying to diagnose her….really it's hilarious.
Get well Britney and fam!
who knows if she's bipolar or what. nobody from the outside, including dr. phil, could diagnose something like that without really knowing what's going on inside britney. she may have some sort of mental illness like bipolar disorder, or she may just be fed up with everyone and be going through some sort of a rebellion stage. i really think if she had REAL friends, and a real family that was there for her and truly cared about her, she wouldn't be having the majority her issues. the girl can't trust anybody, everybody is out to use her and it's been this way for the past 10 years, if that alone were to change she would get better. prescribing her medication for her depression/bipolar problem only creates more issues. once you're on those drugs you're never the same again.
How do you say she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder ???
she has only been there for a few days.
she has to be completely of all drugs before any diagnoses can be made which will take at least a week.
I wouldn't get my hopes up. It takes years to recover from a mental illness, not 2 weeks and she absolutely MUSTS move away from LA or she'll be back being crazy in a couple of days. Everyone knows that, except Britney…
I HOPE SHE FINDS A WAY TO KILL HERSELF THERE
perscription drugs, that's funny .. coz perscription drugs
killed millions every year..like they can help her..yea,
help her to get 6 feet under.
vote hilary
BIPOLAR MY ARSE!!! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE TOO MANY DRUGS!! IT FUCKS WITH YOUR BRAIN!! AND THEN YOU BLAME ALL YOUR CRAZY SHIT ON MENTAL ILLNESS!!
u do not know wwhat it feels like till u get a taste of this nasty disease. Prayer had to save me from this. It is emotional u do not know the pain. Ask God to take an arm instead
get well soon britney! we love you.
I love that the book by her left shoulder is titled "Motel Fetish!" Priceless!
