RECKLESS DRIVING GETS BRITNEY SPEARS PUT BACK IN MENTAL WARD BUT THIS WAS PLANNED ALL ALONG

Last night, Britney's new psychiatrist went to her home and felt she was a danger to herself and others because of her reckless driving and because of her "downhill behavior." As a result, the shrink launched a plan (days in the making) to have Britney committed to UCLA Medical Center by calling the cops.

The cops knew it was coming. they were supposed to take Britney away the night before, but it was scrapped. Last night, it all went down according to plan. Cops even used code to acomplish the mission in transporting Britney to the hospital. Over the police radio, she was referred to as "The Package."

And when her mom, Lynne, got pissed off, accusing Sam of engineering the impending commitment. Brit told her to "shut the hell up." She demanded silence, sat on the floor and wrote notes to people who were there as they waited. When emergency personnel arrived, Brit went on the gurney without resistance.

When everyone arrived at UCLA, things got crazy. Jamie Spears began screaming at Sam Lutfi, accusing him of trying to control Britney's life. But as far as the doctors are concerned Lynne and Jamie Spears are not calling the shots. The guy for this at least for the docs is Brit's friend, Sam Lutfi.

Britney had something signed after the last episode and doctors are going to Lutfi for guidance. Jamie went off on Lutfi in the hallway, accusing him of trying to control his daughter.

Britney has been calm in the hospital, even taking "cigarette breaks."

If, Britney refuses to take her meds, the plan is for the psychiatrist to go to court and have Britney held for an additional 14 days, during which time he will be administer proper medications.

Britney has already been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder and has sporadically taken her medication. But friends say the meds just aren't working and Britney needs real help...has any one seen Dr. Phil?

Britney Spears Back In The Hospital On Emergancy Hold

Britney Spears was hospitalized at UCLA Medical Center for a psychiatric hold early Thursday morning, after being transported by ambulance from her Studio City home around 1 a.m.

"Spears was escorted by police and is on her way to get help." say's LA, police.

The singer, 26, was transported to UCLA for treatment and evaluation during a 72-hour emergency hold, known as a 5150.

"She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong," acourding to Sam Lutfi.

Police or a mental health professional can request one if a person is deemed to be a danger to herself or others. (Spears was held at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on such an order earlier this month, following her Jan. 3 custody standoff with police.)

Spears's mother, Lynne friend Alli Sims and Lutfi were all inside the gated mansion when police and the fire department arrived.

What brought on the hospitalization? "She was driving around her neighborhood like a mad-woman," says a Spears family source. "Britney has been prescribed medication which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening."

Lutfi and Spears's father, Jamie, arrived at the hospital shortly after the singer. Her mother was later spotted leaving the Summit home with Spears's photographer beau, Adnan Ghalib, in the backseat.
Earlier in the night, Internet rumors claimed that the singer had attempted suicide, but Lutfi and Sims both denied those claims to PEOPLE.

Since the January standoff, Spears has been stripped of visitation rights for her two sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1. Two sources have said she suffers from a psychological disease, with one source saying, "there is no question she is bipolar... she's had manic episodes for years."

As last night's incident unfolded, a Spears source told friends to simply, "Pray, please."
