From the "Who gives a flying f%#*?" file: Britney Spears taken from her home in ambulance!
LOS ANGELES - A bizarre new chapter is unfolding in the life of Britney Spears, with the troubled pop star hospitalized Friday "for her own welfare" after a three-hour standoff involving her two young sons.

With paparazzi swarming the ambulance doors, Spears was whisked away late Thursday, nearly three hours after police arrived at her home in a gated community. No injuries were reported.

Police initially said it appeared the 26-year-old Spears was under the influence of an unknown substance but Officer April Harding said Friday she could not confirm that or other reports that Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation.

"For her own welfare, she was transferred to a local hospital for medical treatment," Harding said, declining to elaborate.

Spears was conscious as the ambulance left her home escorted by a row of police cars. A horde of paparazzi chased the ambulance, their strobes going off as they held their cameras up to the vehicle's rear window.

1. That's why I stopped watching TV news years ago
It's more like Entertainment Tonight than anything substantive.

2. Her latest problem is on the homepage for both msnbc and cnn
websites. We couldn't even get one full week into the new year without Britt-news. At this point, I don't want to hear or read about her ever again ...unless she cures cancer or something.

3. Who cares? The people who make the commercials for toothpaste and beer.
Celebrity sells.

4. Does it really? Or is that what they (the sponsors) just like to tell us?
Perhaps my circle of friends is too small but I know of no one who gives a shit about celebrities. And I live in Hollywood!!!!!!!
