It all begins now.  The never-ending details surrounding Britney Spears’ hospitalization last night.

First off, it turns out K-Fed’s bodyguards weren’t the ones responsible for reporting Spears to the authorities.  It was Brit’s own court-appointed child monitor.  Preston was being prepped to return to dad’s house when his mother decided to lock herself up in the bedroom with Jayden.  Fearing the young child would be forced to choose between mom’s only two pairs of boots, the monitor called the cops for help.  (Of course, I kid.  Well, maybe.)

While Sean and Jayden are now seeking normalcy in their father’s home, Spears is in the middle of a mandatory 72-hour mental evaluation at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.  Meanwhile, attorneys for both Britney and Kevin Federline have been meeting at the courthouse to discuss the recent events.  (The matter really shouldn’t get any more attention than Brit gave to her deposition yesterday.  Why should it take more than 15 minutes to take the kids away from her?)

As sad as yesterday’s events were, this incident, ironically, may be the best thing to happen to the troubled pop star.  (I’m assuming this is rock bottom, right?) We can only hope that she is finally getting the rest - and help - she needs.
