So the second time she tries to make it through rehab, she is stalked by the media. This time they took a helicopter to the alleged center where she was to be treated to try to get aerial photos.

Lame - let the girl get the help she needs and get a life.

Britney Spears entered rehab Tuesday after a bizarre weekend that included shaving her head and getting a new tattoo.

Spears, 25, voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility, CNN has confirmed.

“We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time,” Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement.

Since she announced her separation from Kevin Federline in November, Spears, the mother of two young sons, has been seen partying with Paris Hilton, and her appearance has been increasingly sloppy.

On Friday night, Spears grabbed an electrical shaver at a San Fernando Valley salon and shaved her head completely bald.

Hopefully things work out better for her this time around.
And hopefully no paparazzi compound the problem.

Britney Spears is reportedly considering making her mum, Lynne, the legal custodian of her two sons to prevent their father Kevin Federline getting custody of the boys.

Kevin pledged to fight for custody of 17 months old Sean and 5 month old Jayden when Britney specified she wanted full legal and physical custody when she filed for divorce last November. According to the Sun, his legal team have been closely watching Britney’s constant partying since then in order to portray her as a bad mother when the case comes to court.

Lynne Spears arrived in Los Angeles last week to supplement the care given to the boys by nannies. A source told the newspaper: “Britney has called in her mum to make sure nobody can accuse her of neglecting her children. She is terrified that Kevin will take them.”

In related news, an onlooker has revealed that Britney nearly broken down in tears on Friday when she thought she’d missed her flight to Los Angeles.

After leaving rehab, Britney was spotted running through Miami International Airport to catch a flight to Los Angeles but when she arrived at the gate, she found that the flight was closed and the walkway had already been retracted from the plane.

A passenger at the adjoining gate told People magazine: “She was really upset. She [said] to the ticket agent, ‘I’ve got to get on this plane to get home to my kids.’ She looked like she was about to cry.”

The agent then called through to the pilot, who let Britney board the American Airlines flight. Britney gave the ticket agent an autograph then smiled and waved at the onlookers, saying “God bless.”

An American Airlines spokesperson told the magazine that allowing late arrivals on board is not unusual as long as the flight isn’t delayed.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for Britney has told People magazine: “Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time.”

TMZ is reporting she’s admitted herself into an in-patient rehab facility in the Los Angeles area at the urging of her friends and family.

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears became instant friends immediately following Britney’s split from husband of two years, Kevin Federline. Their late night partying was widely reported and even resulted in one of Spears’ first scandals, “panty-gate”. But as quickly as the two hit the scene, they disappeared. The two are no longer close at all, so much so that the blonde socialite that still has her hair does not wish to be asked about the bald Britney.

That was apparent when Paris was recently asked one small question about her former no panties party pal. Extra caught up with the Hilton heiress celebrating her 26th birthday at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas over the weekend. Prior to the interview, Extra was told not to ask Paris about Britney’s recent troubles.

When asked about her birthday bash, “I love Las Vegas,” Paris gushed. “I come here every year, it’s a tradition.” When the conversation turned to the Newsweek cover with both Hilton and Spears on the cover, her people stepped in and put a stop to the interview. “We’re done,” her rep barged in. “Thank you.” Paris got up and bloted.

According to the New York Daily news though, Paris has little problem listening to jokes about buzz cut Britney. The paper notes that Spears has avoided former party pals like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton but Spears’ previous posse cavorted in Las Vegas over the weekend at Hilton’s over-the-top 26th-birthday bash, where the singer was a hot topic of conversation.

“Britney was the butt of everyone’s joke. All the girls kept saying how fugly she looked as a baldie,” one Hilton pal snickered.

Some people can be so mean…

In an effort to provide tranquility for troubled pop star Britney Spears’ turbulent lifestyle the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League have invited the newly separated icon to spend an all expense paid trip in snow-buried Syracuse, NY.

In recent weeks Spears has been the subject of negative publicity surrounding late-night partying, a very short stint in rehab and being photographed without wearing any underwear and a new shaved look.

In a show of support the Crunch is offering any woman that comes to the War Memorial Box Office with a shaved head a free ticket to the club’s February 24 game against the Manitoba Moose.

“The team and community want to provide Britney Spears with a stress free environment and the chance to experience a high level of hockey,” said Crunch President and CEO Howard Dolgon. “In addition to being 3,000 miles away from Hollywood, Syracuse is light years away from that pretentious environment. There won’t be paparazzi within a 100 miles.”

The Crunch’s offer of an all expense paid trip will begin with their game on the 24th. Also if Spears accepts the Crunch’s invitation each member of the club’s front office staff will shave their heads.

Some people are kinder than others, aren’t they?

An out-of-breath and disheveled Britney Spears almost lost it when she learned she might miss her flight to Los Angeles on Friday, an eyewitness tells PEOPLE.

Carrying two small bags, Spears, 25, ran through Miami International Airport to catch her American Airlines flight. But when she arrived at the gate and handed her boarding pass to the ticket agent, she was informed that the walkway had been retracted from the plane and the flight was closed.

“She was really upset,” says David Paulsen, a passenger at an adjoining gate. “She (said) to the agent, ‘I’ve got to get on this plane to get home to my kids.’ She looked like she was about to cry.”

Paulson says the ticket agent called the pilot and requested that Spears be allowed on the flight: “‘I’ve got Britney Spears here and she wants to get on the plane.’” After a pause, the agent said, “‘No, I’m serious. Can we get her on the plane?’” A few seconds later, the agent smiled and nodded to Spears, and the walkway was extended again.

When Paulson later approached the ticket agent about Spears, he was told that it was, indeed, the pop star and she had gotten one of the very last seats on a full plane, with first class entirely booked.

An American Airlines spokesperson tells PEOPLE that it’s not unusual for the airline to allow late arrivals on the plane as long as it doesn’t delay the flight. The final decision is left up to the cockpit crew and gate agents.

As a visibly relieved Spears was about to board the plane, Paulson says, she stopped to give an autograph to the agent, and then turned to the crowd of onlookers and waved. “‘God bless!’” she said, as she got on the plane.

At least she is keeping God in mind sometimes. Hopefully she asks for His help in her own life.

Craig Ferguson decided not to poke fun at Britney Spears for at least one night.

The host of CBS television’s “The Late Late Show” told viewers Monday that after seeing photos of the 25-year-old pop star’s shaved head, he reconsidered making jokes at the expense of the “vulnerable.”

Spears made headlines over the weekend when she shaved her head at a Los Angeles hair salon and then went to a tattoo parlor where she had a pair of lips put on her wrist. Spears shaved her head Friday, the same day as reports on TV and Web sites that she had briefly checked into a rehabilitation center.

“For me, comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it,” Ferguson said. “It should be about attacking the powerful — the politicians, the Trumps, the blowhards — going after them. We shouldn’t be attacking the vulnerable.”

Ferguson recalled his battle with alcoholism and said he worries Spears may be having troubles of her own.

“Now I’m not saying Britney is alcoholic, I don’t know what she is — alcoholic or not — but she clearly needs help,” he said.

Yes, she does need help. She needs many prayers for one thing.

Pop singer Britney Spears may be regretting a decision to shave her head over the weekend, but the owners of the California salon where she did the deed are laughing.

Esther Tognozzi, who owns Esther’s Hair Studio, is hoping to auction off the singer’s hair for more than US$1 million. She set up a website, www.buybritneyshair.com, and is hoping to start a bidding frenzy for the golden locks.

Spears, who has recently been spotted wearing a blond wig, made the apparently rash decision to shave off her hair on Friday. According to reports she went into the salon and asked a stylist to cut off all her hair. When the stylist refused, she picked up some hair clippers and did the job herself.

The winning bidder for Britney’s hair will also receive those clippers, a cigarette lighter Spears left at the salon, and a can of Red Bull she’d been drinking.

One catch is that the buyer will have to pick up the hair from the studio, located in Tarzana, Calif. A portion of the proceeds will go to charity, the owners insist, but specific charities weren’t named.

Co-owner J.T. Tognozzi said they put the hair up for sale on eBay but the listing was cancelled for some reason.

The reason could relate to the scads of fake listings for Britney’s hair, some as far away as the UK and Germany.

A spokesperson for eBay warned potential buyers to carefully consider what they’re thinking about purchasing and only go ahead if they’re certain of its authenticity.

Spears, who also sported a new tattoo Friday, has made headlines across North America since she split from husband Kevin Federline for her wild lifestyle.

I wonder what the legality of taking her personal property for themselves is?

Any lawyers know?
