Upon the news that Britney has been released from the hospital despite her psychiatrist recommending against it, Britney Spears’ parents have released the following statement:

“As parents of an adult child in the throws of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”

Amen!

Put that girl back in the hospital!

Apparently Kirsten Dunst didn’t get the memo that rehab’s not cool anymore. You’re supposed to go to a psych ward now, silly. But Kirsten’s always been one to buck a trend.

The starlet has checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah, where Eva Mendes currently resides, after a week of crazy partying at Sundance.

“She desperately needed help,” a source in Utah tells Star. “She seemed to be intoxicated when she checked in because she was acting really erratic. She was extremely emotional, constantly breaking down in tears.

“She not in a good place right now, but thankfully, she’s getting the help she needs.”

She was supposed to be in the UCLA psych ward for 14 days, but, somehow or other, Britney has weaseled her way out.

She was released shortly before noon.

What the hell????

Grey’s Anatomy stars Ellen Pompeo and Eric Dane — along with their significant others, Rebecca Gayheart and Chris Ivery — enjoy the Michael Kors show at NYC Fashion Week.

Katie Rees, the former Miss Nevada who was stripped of her crown after some incriminating photos hit the web, was arrested this morning in Las Vegas for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

Rees was pulled over shortly before 3:00 AM for a traffic violation. According to Las Vegas police, when they attempted to arrest her, “she became physically aggressive towards the officer.”

Cops told TMZ that they were just going to cite Rees, but when she lost her shit, they took her in.

I think someone else needs to be sentenced to rehab.

Oh, wait, I forgot. Rehab’s not cool anymore. Send her to a psych ward!

On the heels of the revelation that Heath Ledger died as the result of an accidental overdose of about a billion different prescription drugs, the DEA has announced that they will be looking into how Heath obtained so many different prescriptions.

It’s like Anna Nicole all over again.

I hope heads are going to spin.
