Amy’s finally in Rehab, and now it has been confirmed by the New York Daily News that another troubled star is finally getting the help that she needs. Britney Spears, who is rumored to have attempted suicide last night, was committed to a psychiatric ward early this morning after it was reported that she was “driving around her neighborhood like a mad woman” last night and refused to take her meds.

The drama went down around 4 a.m. New York time when cops on motorbikes and a fire department ambulance rushed onto the grounds of Spears’ gated Studio City mansion. Once inside, Britney is said to have gone easily, without a struggle. “The package is on the way,” cops radioed once Spears was in hand, the Times reported. People.com reported that Spears’ mom, Lynne, friend Alli Sims, manager Osama Lufti were all there and The Times said that cops were called in by Spears’ psychiatrist. What followed was a made-for-paparazzi spectacle: the international superstar was escorted down Coldwater Canyon Boulevard by a dozen motorcycle cops, two squad cars - and two police helicopters!

The Times reported that the line of emergency vehicles “stretched longer than a football field.” There have been several reports that Britney’s family was looking to get her intensive psychological help, perhaps by holding an intervention. It seems as her family pulled the trigger on the plan to get her help after her latest bizarre behavior. “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.” Initially, several tabloid news websites widely reported Spears, 26, had killed herself - something that was later denied by Lutfi and Sims, People.com reported.

The singer was committed by her family and Lutfi on what is known as a 5150 in California - a law that allows someone to be held against their will if they’re found to be a danger to themselves or others because of a mental illness. That was the same reason used to get Spears committed to the mental ward at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier this month after her standoff with cops over her two kids. Lutfi told ABC’s Barbara Walters that Spears has been unable to sleep and is distraughtbecause she can’tsee her tots - Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2. A judge has granted ex-husband Kevin Federline temporary full custody of the two and demanded Britney get psychological help. “There is no question she is bipolar… she’s had manic episodes for years,” a source told People.

Will this help her? I guess, as usual, we’ll just have to wait and see…

Kanye has been dropping hints all week, but he finally let the cat out of the bag in an entry on his blog titled “The End of the World As You Know It!”. Kanye West will be hitting the road pretty soon with Rihanna, N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco in the “Glow in the Dark” tour. Besides the promo poster above, he hasn’t released any major details yet, like dates and what-not, but I expect those will come along shortly. Am I excited? Hell no … I’m ECSTATIC! I don’t really too much care for Lupe and N.E.R.D., but they’re okay. Rihanna’s pretty cool too. But Kanyizzle? You better believe I’m gonna be breaking open my piggy bank and scrounging up some dough for this! Because you know he’s gonna charge a grip or two lol. All I know is that he better bring his ass to Greenville, SC. I don’t feel like driving all the way to Charlotte or Atlanta…

By the way, when is that Flashing Lights video coming? . . . 

Yes! ‘Last Time’ is going to be the next single from Trey Day (Atlantic)! I absolutely love that song and I’m glad he made it a single, and I’m sure all the fellas who got ‘caught up’ in the middle would strongly agree. Hell, they probably thank Trey for making this damn song! LOL. After the cut you can view a couple photos from the shoot of “Can’t Help But Wait (remix)” featuring Plies for the Step Up 2 the Streets soundtrack. Visit Trey-Songz.org to view the whole set. I also left a treat after the cut, yw bbs! ;-)
