Britney Spears rushed to hospital

(showbizspy.com) - Pop wreck Britney Spears was taken to hospital this morning by ambulance after her psychiatrist felt her mental condition had deteriorated.

Accompanied by police, the Toxic singer, 26, was willingly taken to Los Angeles' UCLA Medical Center, where she will be placed on a 5150 hold for 72 hours - meaning she is a danger to herself and others.

Brit's mom Lynn and her self-styled manager Sum Lutfi and the police were all at the singer's house when the ambulance arrived. The star was said to be inert, unresponsive and confused.

Britney has been on the brink of disaster after three days without sleep and nights spent talking to trees.

Her last outing was a 5am shopping trip to buy Red Bull and constipation pills before continuing her habit of driving aimlessly around Los Angeles all night in her new Mercedes.

At one point, the 'Gimme More' singer reportedly stopped inexplicably in the middle of a canyon road, clambered from her car and confessed to the waiting paparazzi she was dizzy, afraid and wanted to go home.

She then dashed into a nearby forest making strange faces and muttering to the trees in her bizarre new British accent.

Her psychiatrist was told about the driving and at that point decided she must be hospitalized on the "5150 hold". Her family and manager were in agreement with the decision.

Mum Lynne and her on/off British paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib accompanied the singer to hospital.

It will be the troubled singer's second stint in 5150 this month.

TMZ.com reports that when the psychiatrist told Britney she was going to hospital, she responded by saying: "Is something wrong?"

She then made some hot chocolate and waited for the ambulance to arrive.
