Britney Spears, with a police escort of nearly a dozen motorcycles, two cruisers and two helicopters, was removed by ambulance from her home and taken to U.C.L.A. Medical Center, right, early on Thursday, The Associated Press reported. Ms. Spears, 26, whose erratic behavior has made her a public spectacle and cost her the custody of her two young sons, was hospitalized to âget help,â said a Los Angeles police officer who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter. Allan Parachini, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Superior Court, said: âThe way it works is a law enforcement agency or mental health professional can conclude that someone is a danger to self or others and undertake an involuntary commitment. To extend that for another 14 days there has to be a court hearing.â On Jan. 3, when Ms. Spears refused to return her children to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who has custody, the police had paramedics take her from her home to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was released after a day and a half.
