LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Pop star Britney Spears was taken to hospital for tests to see if she was under the influence of alcohol or drugs and for a psychological evaluation after police were called to her home Thursday night to mediate a custody dispute, a police spokesman said.


Spears appeared not be conscious as she was taken from her home.

Spears appeared not to be conscious as she was rolled out of her Studio City home on a gurney about three hours after police and ambulances arrived there.

The children were returned to their father, Kevin Federline, who has primary legal custody of the two sons, a police spokesman said.

Doctors at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles will decide whether to invoke a California law that allows a patient to be held for psychological evaluation for 72 hours, the police spokesman said.

Aerial video provided by local television station helicopters showed Spears on a stretcher and surrounded by police and paramedics as it was rolled to an ambulance near her home.

I'm beginning to think that those who picked Spears on their Dead Pool lists made a wise choice.

When will it stop.It's getting old and tiresome.

Grow the f up Britney.

Yea, I originally had her on my list but took her off.

Anyway, how sad. It's obvious this girl has big problems. Hopefully this incident will wake her up. Hope she gets help.

I really was feeling the Britney-hate, but I honestly feel so sad for her right now. She (and her sister) are so obviously screwed up that it's quite pathetic.

I also try to keep in mind how we would appear to others if we had to live our lives under a microscope.

I have read that Nikelodean have cancelled the younger spears show as it is aimed at under 14's and it isnt setting a very good example

It's really even more pathetic when you think that of the two a "Kevin Federline" is the better parent.

Really, those poor kids...and they are so cute. I hope she does get help.

Chopper, you should have titled this topic :

"Oops She did it again."

She needs time and space to grow up, and fewer people in her life. I haven't followed her predicaments too closely, but for her sake and the sake of her family, I hope she gets things worked out. Oh, and the Lohan girl too.

You know what's scary? I'm thinking about how she doesn't "seem" to care that she doesn't have her kids, and how she simply doesn't appear to court dates (several times now) regarding custody, etc. It doesn't seem "normal" that she wouldn't care, if only for the bad publicity sake or how it would look to the public. I read her lawyer (her second one) recently quit because of what he called "lack of communication." I also read (if true or not I don't know) that she spends all her money and has no savings/investments to speak of. Of course, I guess a lot of people can have that trait.

Her complete and utter defiance and nonchalance, makes me really wonder if it's more a mental problem than a drug problem. It seems a complete absence of any motherly inclinations that's missing from Britney. I can't believe she is normally "void" of that, as twisted as her life has become. Anyway I really do hope she gets help.

When does a lawyer quit a million dollar client? It sounds unheard of, which should tell you everything you need to know about Britney.

Oh, and it's become a big joke for local radio DJ's here, but she's been spotted several times now by papparzzi noticing (as she gets in and out of car) she doesn't wear panties. What's up with that?

I noticed in another thread that Geoff has a pair of undies he can lend her.

She can have a pair of mine, but they're a bit track-marked.

i like DC,very good

Why is this news?

Because its britney, news wouldn't be the same without a story from her

what is it then?

I hate that people care about this at all.

Its not that people always care,its just one of the things thats in the news at the minute dont take it personal

A mishap, an OD... God, whatever the hell it's called when the average guy on the street does it.

It just seems to me, that in the time it takes to simply address the issue at hand vocally, hundreds of thousands of people are dying simultaneously, be it of disease, war, or whatever. There's a war being fought, the Bush administration is fucking us all in the ass, and people are contracting AIDS. There are millions of issues more important than this one.

No offense directed at you people, of course.

What shenanigans do you think Britney will get into next? Whatever it is, I sure hope she does it soon!!1

Public defecation: Poops, I did it again.

I think she'll get fucked in the ass and contract AIDS.

And you'll be the one fucking. Joking

Why joking? We all know I would.

True

i think i would even with the skin head

You would do anythng, wouldn't you mate.
