Spears Released
 Britney Spears was released from a psychiatric ward at the UCLA Medical Center after nearly a week of treatment. It was unclear where she was going, but sources said she might head to one of her homes before seeking additional treatment. Unlike the spectacle surrounding her trip to the Westwood medical facility last week, she slipped out with relatively little fanfare. A private security detail escorted her in contrast to last week when more than a dozen Los Angeles police officers escorted Spears to the hospital via motorcade. Her release comes after Spears' mother, in court documents, said her daughter's self-described friend and manager, Sam Lutfi, exerted near-total control over her, cutting her phone lines, taking away her cellphone chargers, disabling her vehicles and grinding up pills to place in her food. Spears' mother made the allegations in a request for a restraining order against Lutfi. The restraining order, approved bars Lutfi from coming within 250 yards of Spears. Spears'father and an attorney have been granted temporary conservatorship over Spears and her estate. According to sources, a grand theft report was filed by Spears' father, Jamie Spears, after the she was taken to the UCLA hospital last week. The grand theft report alleges that paintings, jewelry and other valuables were taken from his daughter's Coldwater Canyon home. "A limited number of people had access to the home in that period," the source said. See more Britney Spears |
