yes, kevin is so concerned. very deep, caring individual that he is we all expected that. at least he isn't talking sh*t about her to the press. hope she stays this time.

"heh-hu-ha-hu-heh-he-ha-hu; that's the woody wood pecker song"

Man in the picture in the left she almost looks like she can kick some ass. I don't know, i can't stand Brit but the bald head is growing on me. And to me it seems like Kevin was the only thing holding this girl together, and maybe he was not at as much fault as all the Britney fans make him out to be.

I find it sad that the paparazzi are stalking this girl when she is trying to get the help she DESPERATELY needs. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time, feeling vulnerable, and having these miserable people trying to get a picture for their own personal gain. Yeah, we all like celeb pictures and gossip, but this is taking it too far. However...I'm so glad she's there.

Does she still have the clear size strip sticker on the back of her pant leg? Yikes girl..you are a mess.. go to Promises ad stay there for a good ol long time.. get better.

I can believe that Kevin is concerned for her. I mean, a lot of us here on POP are concerned for her, and we don't even know her.

Damn i never though i would agree with this guy...never.We live in a strange world.

I'm glad to see her rocking the bald head. I realize she needs help, however mistake or not, I'd rather see her embrace the baldness then try to cover it with a crappy wig.

And the bald head is kind of cool?

As long as Pop and others are buying the pictures, they will keep taking them. Come on Pop, stand up and say leave the girl alone, and we wont be buying them for a while. If all the rags would do this, she may have a chance for sobriety. I myself, could do without seeing her on a daily basis.

Yeah I think considering the circumstances Kevin could have really embarrased her or tried to use this for his own gain but HE DIDN'T. He hasn't said a word. ANY magazine would have been happy to buy his story. I think people should really back off of him he doesn't seem so bad. I don't think I would have been as nice I would have been like see I told you she was this and that. They really shouldn't be taking pics of Brit while she is in rehab thats just wrong. Give the girl a chance to get well already!

im just about as big of a brit fan as they come..but please please please leave her alone and let her be in peace and try to get better..she DOES NOT need to be worried about paps while in there!

At least she's getting the treatment she needs

Yep, I'm starting to like Kevin too. He's handling this all like a real man so far. He could really throw her for a loop is he wanted to, but he's not. That IS the sizing sticker still on her jeans, LOL, I noticed that too.

Do we know for sure that these pics are from the Promise center? I would think they would be harder to get and maybe these are from another place or day.

I hope she sticks with the rehab this time. I wish her well and hope she receives the help she so needs. And I hope she does this for her children. I can see Kevin being concerned. He hasnt once said anything bad about her since the split and I agree with cine_lover, it now appears he did hold her together and the public didnt give him the benefit of the doubt.

Good luck Britney.

Exactly Hotstuff!This could have been a great opportunity for him to hold her down and get the kids...but he didn't.

i hope she stays put for a while. for her sake and here babies'.

I can't lie, I do believe that Kev is actually concerned about Brit. But at this point, for me, all I really care about is Brit starting to be concerned about Brit. It would make this whole thing 1,000% better.

While I am quite glad she is finally getting some help, I'm not so sure rehab is going to be enough. This girl needs some serious psychotherapy. Her actions of late are just a manifestation of some deeper problems. Think about it -- she was thrust into the limelight when she was 16 years old, I believe. It's hard enough going from complete unknown to worldwide sensation at that age (or any age for that matter, but especially at a young age), but when you add her extremely provocative "Baby One More Time" persona, you're just asking for trouble. She's been marketed as a tramp for years -- is it any wonder she has low self esteem and has been acting this way?

I sincerely hope she is able to get the help she obviously needs. I would hate to think her babies are going to end up with K-Fed because she can't get her sh*t together.

I'm pulling for you, Brit. You go, girl!

Good eye, Ima - that's totally the pant leg sticker! LOL

Gramps this is why I kinda blame her parents for how she's become. They practically pimped their daughter out from a young age! All those provacative outfits and suggestive songs. No wonder she's confused with low self esteem. She doesn't know how to just be. I think this was a big part of her parents divorce, because the mom Lynn got all Hollywood and Brits dad wasn't liking it. At the end of the day Britney is a grown woman with two kids and has to be responsible for herself but her upbringing didn't help. Thank God it seems like Brits dad has more of a head on his shoulders than the rest of the family. I think Britney is still able to really respect him, where as her mom not so much.

I highly, no pun intended, doubt K-Fed would tell Brit he would strand test her hair... ummm couldn't she say the same thing to him? Something set this girl off... I mean she has two babies.. why would she choose this route? Something deeper is going on here, to me at least. Whatever it is I hope she can get herself together!!! As LOONNNG as it takes Brit!! You can do it!!!

Britney is a beautiful woman with or without hair!!! So glad she is getting the help she neeeds! She will come out of this nightmare stronger!!! You go princess Britney Spears!!!!!!!!

Everyone needs to back off Kevin. Actually, with the awful way she's been acting he's had many opportunities to talk about her but hasn't.

And how hypocritical of a blog to say to the paps to not take pictures but then post brand new pictures? And I'm sure any new pictures will also be posted. Please. The paps have a job to do let them do it without any commentary.

Oh Hotstuff -- I am with you 100%. I totally blame her parents (more so her mom, because she has been the more public of the two of them).

Does anyone think her parents accept responsibility for their part in this whole messed up situation?

Please what ever happened to taking responsibility for ones own actions. So if she goes and kills someone it is her parents fault. That kind of stuff makes me mad. She is an adult. She makes her own choices. There are MANY MANY MANY people who have had it MUCH harder then her and have turned out to be amazing humans that don't neglect their kids and wh*re themselves around.

I agree cine_love...hey by the way... but in Brit's defense I think she grew up thinking she was not loved unless she was able to offer people something. To EVER feel unloved by my parents would be debilatating to me. You are right that some people do have it worse.. but try to think what it would feel like to honestly feel no body wanted you.. and the world was taking a picture of everything you screwed up on. Her problems being broadcast over all news outlets is probably not helping her cause. I really think she is having a nervous breakdown.

There's a time when people have to stop blaming her parents. Britney's supposedly a grown woman with children of her own. When is it HER turn for take responsibility for her actions?

cine_lover, it's not a question of who's had the worst life. it's just a question of parents seeing their kids as *kids* and not as meal tickets. each person has their own crap to deal with.

I'm not a fan of hers but look at her life. She's been used by adults since her childhood and she probably wonders if anyone genuinely cares about her. She surrounds herself with "yes" men and those who dare tell her "no"(like her ex-assistant) are let go. Her own parents are off spending her money while her life is circling the bowl. I can't stand her but I pity her situation and her children. Plus, isn't Promises the place that Kathy Griffin calls "fake rehab" for people who aren't really serious about changing their lives?

To the person who said that the paparazzi are stalkin her...

You know that her bodyguards opened up the CLOSED blinds at the hair salon so the press could get their pictures, right? The salon was closed and they had all of their blinds closed before she got there.

Also, you can't force an adult to go to rehab. They have to voluntarily let themselves in. It is SO UNCALLED FOR to blame her parents, when they really have no control. I sincerely doubt that they haven't tried.

I agree that it is not who has the worst life at all, and I am glad she is getting help, but to blame someones parents instead of having her take responsibility for her actions means that forever she has a scape goat. And how does anyone know that is how it all happened?? How do we know that her parents forced her into it?? All I am saying is why doesn't anyone make her accountable for her actions, instead of first complaining about Kevin, then once Kevin is in the clear, NOW everyone moves on to her parents.....What about Britney??????

I really hope the souless paps will leave her alome already. And I really hope the tabs and sites like Pop will get a conscience and stop posting pics of Brit in rehab. I have always rooted for her and she should be left alone to get herself well already!

"Now that we've seen confirmation of Brit in the center, hopefully the paparazzi can leave her alone to recover."

So, Pop, why did you post this pic again??

I hope she can pull herself together for the sake of her kids.

I agree Brit grew up fast, but she made her own choices after she turned 18 and that is what she needs to take responsibility for. She must have been into some serious stuff for her to go and shave her head to avoid a strand test. And I'm sure one would be granted since there is proof in pictures. However she will need to keep it shaved and stay clean for about 12 months or so until it completely leaves her system. I hope her the best.

"Mr Clean, Mr Clean..."

Her head's going to be radioactive soon if she doesn't wear a hat while out in the sun. Her next baby will have five mouths, one finger on each hand and a penis on its forehead.

Her parents didn't push her to be some Lolita. If you look back at the articles written when she was a teenager, it was pointed out then that Britney was the one pushing to make her videos sexier with the dance moves, outfits, etc. One director was taken aback at how sexual she was trying to make it. And even younger, when she was a little girl, she was pushing her parents to take her out to perform because she insisted that is what she wanted to do.

If her parents are guilty of anything, it's probably for not putting the brakes on their precocious daughter.

I know this isn't a Britney Fan site, but I was really impressed by Jordan from Breatheheavy.com today. It's rare that we are denied pictures based on principle...but I respect the crap out of bloggers when they draw the line...someone has to do it! The snarky bloggers may have the most up to date pictures and stories, but they are also the scummiest. Take notes Popsugar.
"February 20 - Britney Strolling Promises Rehab In Malibu

on 20 Feb 2007 by Jordan

Here I am slapping the paparazzi agencies on the wrist because they won't leave Britney alone and push her to enter rehab, yet I post their pictures. I myself feel torn, and feel I am contributing to her pain. Don't be surprised if this picture is removed later today. Here is the first picture of Britney strolling Promises, her rehab, in Malibu. February 20, 2007. Click the picture below to access the entire set of pictures in the gallery.

Pictures Removed --- I can't claim to be a big supporter and promote pictures of what she is partly in treatment for.

To the people who are telling Pop to take the pictures down. Aren't you being a bit hypocritical, posting on a sight that is about Britney???? It starts with the patrons not buying the magazines and going to the sights, then the magazines and sights wont want them. Take a look at your self Kettle...You are as black as the pot.

It would be great if Ms. Spears could privately deal with her issues away from the paps for a few weeks, but if other sites are putting up the photos then I have no problem with Popsugar also doing so. Because you know some readers will go looking for the photos if they exist, and it would be nicer to see them in this enviroment.

Exactly cine_lover! The handslappers are visiting the celebrity gossip sites and then b*tching about it! Geez people, take a stand and stick to it but can the hypocrisy.

^^ cine_lover,

Pop is the only site I go to for "gossip" - I have seen pap shots on other sites, and I stopped going a long time ago because it disgusted me. I THOUGHT Pop was a "kinder, gentler" gossip site. This is the first time I personally have ever seen such an invasive pic (although someone else did write me and tell me they have seen Pop post other pics like this.

I will NOT be going on this site anymore (I'm only responding toposts on this topic) because I personally would much rather hear Britney get well and be a good mother to her two babies than look at pics of her intruding and possibly sabotoging her well-being.

Karma's a b*tch - enjoy.

I rate this thread at a five.

...Carry on.

serena, if you are so above us why do you go to gossip sites at all?? And why are you responding to posts on this topic?? Doesn't that make you the scum with the rest of us?? If you want a fan site then go to a fan site, don't go to a gossip site. ALL THE PICTURES are pictures shot by paps!!!! What makes it okay to take pictures of Nicole Richie taking personal time to herself or Britney Spears? I mean call it what you want both are an invasion of privacy, and you are apart of it. Just because you are a fan of Britney, and don't like a pic of her up does not make pop a bad site.

One can visit a gossip sight without needing to see pictures of the celebs. I dont know about you but, whenever I visited anyone in a hospital (except for childbirth), I would have never felt comfortable taking a picture of them ill. Rehab should be considered hospitalization. Now if they are like LL and out on the streets everyday, that is a different story. Snap away.

"Exactly cine_lover! The handslappers are visiting the celebrity gossip sites and then b*tching about it! Geez people, take a stand and stick to it but can the hypocrisy."

I didn't KNOW Pop was like this, Lindac... now I do!

And if anything's hypocritical it's this sentence right here,

"hopefully the paparazzi can leave her alone to recover."

Don't act all nice and sympathetic when you're posting a pic of her at rehab, Pop!

How do you not know that a GOSSIP site is like this!!! It is a GOSSIP site!!!! They gossip!!! If you don't like it don't go to ANY gossip site, Don't buy any magazines, and certainly don't watch any gossip shows, because you ARE supporting it. The "nice" gossip sites are called FAN sites.

I am not a fan, but hope that she can pull herself together and be a good mother.
It would be in her best interest to leave the entertainment business behind altogether.
Clearly it is a toxic environment to her and now as a mother there is a great deal more at stake than just her ego.
I have to say that I am weary of the "she's just a young woman" excuse. She is 25 and has 2 children who depend on her emotionally.

Serena, I wasn't specifically talking about you. There have been a couple of people that have mentioned it in a couple of threads. But realistically, any 'gossip' site is going to have stuff you're not going to like. Hell, even her fan sites might have pictures from the paparazzi because it's the nature of the beast. PEOPLE want to know what's going on.

And Serena you really think she does not love the attention?? She shaved her head in public, she the went out all over West Hollywood, where you don't exactly go for a low key night out and partied all weekend. She loves the paps. She would be lost without them. IF she did not want the paps watching her every move why didn't she stay down at Crossroads?? Or why doesn't she move back to her home town for a little while, no one goes there. What did Demi Moore do when she wanted time away?? she moved to Idaho. There are ways around the paps. But she wants them there or she would not do what she does.
