Britney Spears has finished her stint at Promises rehab in Malibu, almost a month after checking in on Feb. 22. Has it really been nearly a month since she checked in?
The pop star checked out of Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility "after successfully completing their program," Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement released by Jive Records late Tuesday.
Here's hoping her troubles are behind her.
News of the World is reporting that Britney Spears wrote "666" on her forehead and ran up and down the hallways of Promises rehab yelling "I am the Antichrist!" and then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet.
We have doubts about the veracity of this story because it seems quite tabloidy and silly. Nonetheless, mainstream news outlets are picking up the story and reporting it.
It's hard to tell where fake tabloid news ends and "real" news begins these days. Something tells me that line is just going to be become more and more blurred as time goes on.
Britney Spears may be suffering from postpartum depression, according to experts. TMZ is reporting that her doctors believe this to be a strong possibility and are leaning towards that as a diagnosis. Spears is reported to be reading Brooke Shields' book "Down Came the Rain," a book documenting her own battle with postpartum depression.
One theory is that Britney may have been using alcohol and drugs to cope with her postpartum depression. It's great that she is remaining in rehab this time and is finally getting the help and treatment she needs. Hopefully her doctors can get to the bottom of the problem.
Since we last posted that Britney Spears had checked into Promises rehab in Malibu (for the first time), she did the following in the span of 15 hours:
Checked out of Promises after less than 24 hours.
Tried to enter a tattoo shop but it was closed.
Visited the Bel Air Hotel wearing the same blonde wig she'd worn a couple days earlier.
Went to ex Kevin Federline's house to see her two sons (Federline has had custody of them for the past week). He wouldn't let her see the kids and she reportedly got upset.
Took an umbrella and smashed a paparazzo's car as well as the paparazzo himself, who was left marked by the incident.
Was driven back to Promises rehab by her mother, where she remains for now.
All of the above happened between 8am on Wednesday, when she checked out of rehab, and 10:30pm the same night, when she re-entered rehab.
In other Britney news, her manager Larry Rudolph is denying a story in the National Enquirer that she attempted suicide the night she shaved her head. He told tv show Extra:
“The story is absolutely untrue. She is in rehab, and it is very disappointing that various media outlets are running these false stories about her, as Britney tries to get better.”
Britney Spears has entered rehab in Los Angeles just a day after hitting the town with a cheap blonde wig covering her newly bald head. Her family reportedly staged an intervention and convinced her to seek treatment.
She entered rehab over Valentine's Day and stayed for only 24 hours. Let's hope she stays and gets the help she needs this time.
Her manager said: "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility," Rudolph's statement, released to Access, read. "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

It seems that Britney Spears is going through some serious stuff right now. First, she checked into rehab in the Bahamas and checked out 24 hours later. And now she has shaved her head in front of the paparazzi.
In the KABC interview below the woman who works in the Body and Soul tattoo parlor in Sherman Oaks describes Britney as having been "distraught" while in the tattoo parlor and said that Britney said she shaved her head because she was tired of people touching her.
Brittany Spears has had her second child. The baby boy was born at 2 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Spears and husband Kevin Federline already have a son called Sean Preston, who is due to turn one later this week.
