Spears taken by ambulance to hospital


Who: Britney Spears

What : Police confirmed to the Associated Press early Thursday that Spears had been taken from her home by ambulance. A Los Angeles police officer, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter, told the AP the 26-year-old pop star was being taken to "get help."

When: early Thursday morning

Where: UCLA Medical Center

How: The ambulance carrying Spears was escorted by more than a dozen motorcycle officers, two police cruisers and two police helicopters, the Times reported on its Web site, citing unidentified authorities. It would be the second mental health hold for Spears in less than a month. She was hospitalized the night of Jan. 3 after a child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline resulted in an hours-long standoff with police.
